When your trauma becomes your wisdom…

I heard something recently that stuck with me: “When you can remember something traumatic without being emotionally hijacked by it, it becomes wisdom.” That doesn’t mean you forget what happened and suddenly think it was ok, and it defo doesn’t mean you have to be grateful for the shite you’ve experienced. But it does mean that you can finally remember what happened without feeling like you’re re-living it all over again in your body and mind.  Before healing, you tell…

Stop letting your problems become your identity

How many people do you know who introduce themselves by talking about their struggles? 🤔  You only need to sit at a nail bar or coffee shop to hear people around you talking about all the things in their lives that are going wrong.

They didn’t just break your heart… They rewired your brain 🧠

  One of the most fucking annoying people tell survivors of toxic, abusive and narcissistic relationships is: “Just get over it” … as if what you endured was only a bad breakup. 😳 Like you can wake up one morning, decide you’re done thinking about them, and magically move on. But when you’ve spent months or years in a relationship involving manipulation, coercive control, gaslighting, trauma bonding and emotional abuse, they didn’t just hurt your feelings. They totally changed the…

How to keep on top of your energy hygiene

  I’ve been practicing energy work and teaching Reiki for over 20 years now, and I see keeping on top of my energy hygiene as being as important as brushing my teeth and showering every day. 🚿 🪥  WHAT IS ENERGY HYGIENE? It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite. If I hadn’t kept on top of my…
