Blog postWe’ve all heard the advice to stop using the word “should” (heck, I’ve written about it). After all, “should” is a bad word, right? It has a disapproving energy laden with obligation that often ends up provoking guilt, rather than motivation. Sometimes our “should”s aren’t ours at all. Instead, they are things we’ve picked up from our past, society, and outdated or unhelpful beliefs about ourselves and the world.
Sometimes, however, underneath a “should” is a desire, a sense of urgenc3 weeks ago Read more -

Blog postUncertainty is something we all encounter in one form or another. There is a comfort that comes with predictability and familiarity, and change—even wonderful change—comes an element of not knowing for sure what lies ahead. That’s where uncertainty strikes: the grey in-between where we know a change, a decision, a transition, is coming, but don’t yet know what it looks like or what the full experience will bring. It’s safe to say life has felt uncertain for many of us in different ways over t5 months ago Read more

Blog postI recently read and enjoyed How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis. It’s a book about housework for people who struggle with housework. That might be because of executive functioning issues, depression, or anxiety. It could also be because you have other commitments that take up your time and energy (like taking care of small children).
Except, the book isn’t really about housework. It’s about reframing the often unhelpful beliefs and ideas we have about what she calls “care tas10 months ago Read more -
Blog postThe idea that we can choose to be happy is pervasive in the personal growth world. And it’s always left me feeling a little uncomfortable because, as lovely as it would be to flick an internal switch and ta-da! Happiness, it’s not reflective of my experience—nor that of most people I know.
For a while now, I’ve had this quote from Dani DiPirro bookmarked to share. It summarises what feels a bit off about the idea happiness is simply a choice, and that’s what I want to talk about in th1 year ago Read more -
Blog postAs this pandemic continues to affect our lives in ways big and small, I thought I would share some journaling ideas we can use during these strange times.
Writing is a fantastic way to process what’s happening, capture a record of the current situation for the future, and buoy ourselves up on those days when everything feels hard. Journaling can be serious, but it also can be an excellent distraction when you need some light relief or something to look forward to.

Even if you call it by a different name, you need no introduction to your inner critic.
This is the voice – or voices – who can take you down a peg or two (or several) with one well-aimed blow. Our inner critics seems to know exactly what to say and when to say it for maximum effect. It's a master of the psychological KO, leaving us feeling like the smallest, most flawed, most disempowered version of ourselves.
You’ve tried everything to tame your inner critic: ignoring it, calling names and telling it to shut up. But none of those approaches have worked.
Now, it’s time to stop fighting yourself.
In The Power of Self-Kindness: How to Transform Your Relationship With Your Inner Critic, you’ll discover a radical approach to healing your relationship with your inner critic and yourself, one based on understanding, self-acceptance and self-compassion.
Using a combination of theory, insight and reflective practices, you’ll learn where your critic comes from and how to look beyond its destructive words to uncover the real message underneath. You’ll develop techniques that will help you question your critic’s stories and become more mindful of how these stories impact your life. You’ll also learn how to turn up the volume on the inner critic’s positive counterpart - the inner mentor - a wise inner guiding light invested in your growth and wellbeing.
Whether you’ve been struggling with your inner critic for a long time or are at the beginning of your self-kindness journey, this book offers a range of approaches and suggestions you can use to mend the most important relationship in your life: the one with yourself.
Self-care is a necessary ingredient for a life fully-lived, yet for most of us it's something we resort to only when we're at our most burned out, vulnerable and desperate.
In From Coping to Thriving: How to Turn Self-Care Into a Way of Life you'll discover why self-care is about much more than the usual advice to take a bubble bath. This comprehensive guide will show you how to create a self-care practice that truly meets your needs and leaves you feeling like the best version of yourself.
With a balance between practical suggestions, coaching-style questions and psychological groundwork, this book is designed to give you the self-knowledge and awareness you need to start making self-care an integral part of your life. As well as suggesting hundreds of useful self-care tips and ideas, From Coping to Thriving will also take you deeper into must-know topics like habit-formation, coping strategies, dealing with resistance to self-care and more.
This clear and concise handbook shares everything you need to know to deepen your relationship with yourself using this powerful personal development tool. Covering foundational topics like how to journal, which tools to use, and how to make it a regular habit, as well as over 30 different journaling techniques and many more prompts, The Ultimate Guide to Journaling will help you keep your practice flowing for years to come.
Through a combination of handwritten, digital and art journaling suggestions, you’ll learn how to tap into your internal resources, learn more about what makes you who you are, discover how to negotiate with the different parts of yourself, and create a safe space to explore your inner world.

The Ultimate Guide to Sentence Completion introduces you to a simple practice that will help you deepen your awareness of your beliefs, thoughts and feelings. Explore different aspects of your past, present and future, and expand your self-knowledge in just 10 minutes a day.
In the context of personal development, sentence completion involves finishing a set of sentence 'stems'. You get the first half of a sentence, then add your own endings. By completing each stem more than once, you open up opportunities for different answers, insights and realisations that you wouldn't otherwise have.
Inside this book, you'll find everything you need to know about sentence completion, a practice that will help you kick-start your personal development journey. You'll also be able to enjoy the four-week sentence completion course included at the end of the book.
The Ultimate Guide to Sentence Completion is for you if:
* You are in the process of becoming who you are
* You want a quick and simple way to learn more about yourself
* You’re looking for new tools to complement your self-growth
* You’re interested in sentence completion but have never tried it
* You know there’s a lot of stuff under the surface but don’t know how to get to it
* You want something that is minimum commitment with maximum results
If you're stretched for time but want to find a way to connect to and explore your relationship with yourself, sentence completion is a great place to start.
Do you want to reconnect with your sense of who you are and what matters most to you? Could you benefit from a daily dose of reflection and self-connection?

Whether you're new to journaling or have enjoyed a reflective writing practice for some time, The Year of You for Mothers offers a wealth of inspiration that will deepen your understanding and awareness of yourself as a mother and an individual.
