In life, we are constantly surrounded by opinions, judgements, and expectations from others. Whether it's at work, in our personal lives or on social media, it can feel overwhelming to navigate through the noise.

Mel Robbins, a popular motivational speaker and author, offers a refreshing perspective to help you break free from the weight of others' judgements with the powerful concept: the "Let Them" theory. This summer, she shared this idea on  Instagram and the video went super-viral.

Do you ever find yourself constantly taking on more than you can handle? Maybe you’re the person who says "yes" to every request, feels responsible for fixing everyone’s problems, or finds it hard to delegate tasks to others. If this sounds like you, you might be dealing with something called over-functioning anxiety.

But don't worry—you're not alone, and the good news is, there's a way out. Let’s dive into what over-functioning anxiety is, why we do it, and how you can start easing up on yourself.

Our relationships shape much of our lives—they influence how we feel, how we grow, and how we view the world. Whether it's with a partner, family members, or friends, healthy relationships are essential for emotional well-being, personal growth, and overall happiness. But how do we navigate the complexities of relationships and ensure we’re fostering healthy, supportive connections? In this post, we’ll explore key strategies to cultivate meaningful relationships, recognize toxic patterns, and set boundaries that support our emotional health.

In my work, I often encounter words that resonate deeply with me—words that challenge, inspire, and reflect the journey we all take toward growth and healing. A poem shared by a client made a profound impact, and I felt compelled to share it with all of you. I want to take a moment to acknowledge the beautiful gift of this poem, which captures the essence of inner peace, transformation, and the wisdom of our past selves.

Imposter syndrome is a feeling that many people—especially women—experience at some point in their lives. It’s that nagging sense that you don’t deserve your success, that you’re somehow “faking it,” or that you’re not as capable as others perceive you to be. You may have moments where you feel like you don’t truly belong in your role, position, or achievements, even though outwardly, you have every reason to feel proud.

It’s an incredibly common issue, but it doesn’t have to control your life. In this post, we’ll explore strategies for overcoming imposter syndrome, quieting self-doubt, and learning to truly embrace your accomplishments without guilt.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the demands of others. Whether it's family, friends, coworkers, or even social media, we’re often pulled in a million different directions, leaving little room for ourselves. That’s where boundaries come in. Setting boundaries is an essential skill for maintaining mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. It allows us to protect our energy, nurture our relationships, and, most importantly, prioritize our own needs.

But boundaries aren’t just about saying “no.” They’re about recognizing your limits, understanding your needs, and asserting your right to take care of yourself without guilt. In this post, we’ll explore why boundaries are so important and how to set them in a way that benefits both you and the people around you.

In a world that often glorifies constant productivity and relentless pursuit of goals, there’s a gentle yet profound wisdom waiting to be rediscovered: cyclical living. It’s a concept deeply rooted in the natural rhythms of life, echoing the ebb and flow of seasons, lunar cycles, and, most notably, the innate cycles within women.

For millennia, women have been intimately connected to the rhythms of their bodies and the cycles of nature. From the menstrual cycle to the phases of the moon, there’s a profound synchronicity that offers invaluable insights into our well-being and vitality. Yet, in the modern age, this wisdom has often been overshadowed by the demands of a fast-paced society.

Repressing your emotions may seem like a way to avoid pain, but it often backfires. When we suppress our feelings or traumas, they don't disappear—they linger and build up, only to resurface later, often in unexpected or explosive ways.

Even if we don’t experience a full breakdown, unaddressed emotions create negative thought patterns that can affect many areas of our lives—from relationships with our family, friends, and colleagues to our overall well-being.

What's your view of therapy? Some people mistakenly believe that therapy is only for the weak or those with serious problems. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. Psychotherapy is a powerful tool that fosters healing, confidence, balance, peacefulness, and it’s something that nearly everyone could benefit from at some point in their life.

Here’s why: Many of us grew up with the message that personal struggles, emotions and family issues should be kept hidden and not discussed. As a result, we learn to suppress these feelings, push it down or just sweep it under the rug. The problem with this approach? You can't ever truly push it away, and here's why.

In a fast-paced world, feelings of exhaustion are common, but it’s crucial to understand that burnout and fatigue are not the same. While both can leave us feeling drained, they stem from different causes and manifest in unique ways. Understanding the distinction between burnout and fatigue is the first step in taking proactive measures to maintain our well-being.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the key differences, the causes behind each, and how we can manage and prevent both for a healthier, more balanced life.

In today’s world, where external validation often defines how we see ourselves, it’s easy to lose sight of one of the most important aspects of our identity: our self-worth. Self-worth is the deep, unshakable belief that we are inherently valuable, deserving of love, respect, and happiness. Unlike self-esteem, which can fluctuate based on our achievements or external opinions, self-worth remains constant, anchored in the simple truth that we are worthy, just as we are.

Life is full of transitions—some expected, others unexpected—that shape our personal growth. Whether it’s changing careers, ending relationships, or adapting to new environments, transitions challenge us emotionally and mentally. In this post, we’ll explore two key dynamics in navigating life’s changes: letting go and avoidance, and how understanding the difference can help us embrace transitions with resilience.

Life is a journey full of highs and lows, moments of joy, and inevitable challenges.  Whether it’s a significant event or a series of smaller, cumulative hurts, we all experience things that leave emotional marks. Some of these wounds are visible, some invisible, but they are a part of the human experience and impact our emotional, mental and physical landscapes.

Procrastination is a common struggle that many people face, but for some, it goes beyond simple avoidance or laziness. For individuals who have experienced trauma, procrastination can be a complex coping mechanism tied to deep emotional wounds. While not all procrastination is linked to trauma, the emotional and psychological effects of trauma can contribute to procrastination in various ways. In this post, we’ll explore how trauma and procrastination are connected and provide insights into how trauma impacts thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, leading to procrastination.

John O'Donohue, was an Irish poet and philosopher, who was deeply fascinated by the inner landscape of our lives and what he called "the invisible world"—that which is always present but often overlooked.

In his book Anam Cara: A Book of Celtic Wisdom, he explores solitude not as something to fear or avoid, but as a sacred space for personal growth, reflection, and spiritual connection. In a world filled with distractions, solitude offers a profound opportunity to reconnect with ourselves.

"Solitude is the great teacher of the soul; it is the moment when you can experience the deepest intimacy with yourself."

When you engage in therapy, you're not just talking about your feelings—you're actively reshaping the way your brain processes emotions, responds to stress, and manages life’s challenges. Therapy not only helps you feel better in the moment; it has a lasting impact on your brain, thanks to the concept of neuroplasticity. In this post, we'll explore how therapy can literally change your brain, promoting emotional resilience and healthier ways of thinking.

Many people come to therapy seeking relief from emotional pain, trauma, or mental health struggles. While the act of talking may seem simple on the surface, therapy is much more than just a conversation. It has the power to reshape your brain, helping you heal, build resilience, and transform how you think, feel, and respond to the world around you.

After spending a decade working with clients, I’ve come to know that therapy is much more than techniques and theories. While certain approaches and methodologies are valuable, they alone can never fully embrace the richness of your humanness or the complexity of the human experience.

Covert or passive-aggressive bullying is a form of hidden aggression that damages relationships, undermines social status, and erodes a person’s sense of self-worth, often within a group or workplace.

While many of us are familiar with overt bullies—those who are quick to show their intimidating presence—a covert bully operates much more subtly. On the surface, they may appear friendly and appropriate, but their harm is delivered through cunning and underhanded methods.

What happens when we push ourselves too hard, ignoring the warning signs that our bodies are desperately trying to convey?

Burnout—a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion—is a silent epidemic that affects millions of people worldwide. It’s more than just feeling tired or stressed out; it’s a profound sense of disillusionment and depletion that can have serious consequences for our health and well-being. But what if burnout isn’t simply a sign of overwork or overwhelm, but rather our body’s way of telling us to slow down and reassess our priorities?

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught in a cycle of constant busyness—juggling endless commitments, and prioritizing others’ needs over our own. We fear the consequences of saying ‘no,’ worrying about disappointing others or losing their approval. But what if saying ‘no’ isn’t just about social dynamics? What if it’s also crucial to our physical health?

I'm not a big fan of the term "self-care."
