What is the difference between "healthy" and "unhealthy" boundaries? Can we examine them and make sure that we can tell the difference and use boundaries in the gentle and soft way they should be effective for everyone?

Good question!! I think perhaps I found the answer...It is sometimes a long hard trek to get there, whether it is for someone else, or for yourself. Some incredible quotes I found to support my opinions, and some personal revelations along the way. Not too many tears, they have run dry❤️🥰

Guess this is something that I have been thinking about recently. What overwhelms me, and maybe you. And how can we get past the overwhelm and find the forward movement to make it to the top of the mountain!!!💪🏼

Courage lies beneath all of our lives, but without fear, there would be no need for courage. Can we be gentle with courage, and not let it feed into bravado, and how can we find courage when we need it most. 

Such a great topic to dig into. The answer depends on what your definition of identity is. So I discuss what we often think it is, and what I believe it really is. And how we often feel that due to certain circumstances we lose parts of our identity. Of course we can find it!! Find out how😉

Well, I succeeded in making myself cry, let's hope I don't make you cry too ;) . Why do we risk it, how does it feel, why do we decide to do it again, or do we decide not to. What actually is the difference between the two. I am a firm advocate of love, and always will be despite life experiences, but it doesn't make this side of it any easier. 

What is self confidence and how can we strengthen it? What is different about it than self belief? What does the world say that we should do to flex this muscle, and do I agree or disagree? 

Really trying to look at the word belief and how it relates to self belief and the way we define ourselves as a result. More importantly, how our definition of ourself happens over time, and how we can change it. 

Truth, truth telling, speaking your truth. So many variations on a theme. Speaking your truth is the main thrust behind this episode as I get to the nub of what this means and how we can try to work towards this. I don't think many people think about this in the way it is meant, and we get lost in people pleasing, little white lies which are purely what our society has been built upon until recent...

I needed to know more - so I looked up definitions, listened to great podcasts about friendship, found out what people say the difference is between female friendships and male friendships, and found some great quotes. I realised that this is a huge topic that is just starting to make it to more articles and be talked about more, in comparison to romantic relationships and how to be a better "wife...

It's a conundrum!! Friendship is a wonderful thing!! But it has to be nurtured and worked on. There are so many different kinds of friendships, and the progression of life, forces friendships to evolve in many ways. How do we keep friends? How do we find new friends? How do we deal with our friends and our lives and crises at the same time and with different friends. Does sharing everything with e...

So...I'm in the UK visiting my kids and have had no time to prepare properly for this one, so I did a bit of an off the cuff convo with my daughter Abby pitching in - still mostly a monologue 😂😂. Topics of the day, "How was your sleep?" "Do you drink coffee?" " What kind of tea?" " Milk (what kind), or cream?" "Sugar or not and why not?". As usual, it made me laugh, and Abby is quick to correct...

A bit of a recap on last weeks monologue ;) re giving ourselves grace - a ton of good stuff I recently heard being discussed on The Ed Mylett Show about "Regret". An important part of which is what you learn from what you have regrets about, and how you move forward. Which segways nicely to "Adversity" which is usually thrown in our path, rather than being something which we choose/decide. Anyway,...

Grace is a massively hugely underrated word. Let's get to that and understand how that can make our lives more intuitive. Coincidence is the more commonly used word for what happens when we do this. But it's never coincidence. There is so much more going on!! See what you think!!!

I totally swerved on this one!! Some vulnerability, some self indulgence, some just getting real, although that is not at all what I did! I am swerving around and trying to capture my thoughts which I know/hope are others thoughts. Anyway,  I don't even know where to start with all of this..and I do ramble on a bit!! Comments welcome and perhaps chats with more sensible people will transpire😂

Hellooooooooo!!! I'm back, and going to be much more fluid with my content! I hope you all like what you hear, that we can be vulnerable together, and that you leave with a smile on your face! I will talk about things I feel uncomfortable talking about, and I will hope to inspire you at least a little bit, and if we can laugh, that's even better. Enjoy this new fresh start!!! Have a great Easter W...

Stress is such an overused word in today's world. But no less valid and interesting than now in our altered world. I thought the view of these two 20 something's would be interesting to unpack. Whether or not we came to any ground breaking conclusions is up for discussion. But the chat was fun and their varied and/or shared views bring some good laughs and good debate!! 🎉❤️

What does fitness mean to all of us? And how does it really benefit us the most? Is it the physical benefits or the psychological benefits that are the most important? Is it entirely an individual thing? Can we really define what fitness is in general terms? 

How many of us can laugh at ourselves? How many people do you know who can really have a good laugh at their own expense. Research shows how good this is for us in many many ways!! Listen and find out :)

What is life without expectations? Can we live without expectations? I have decided that they are strength giving and necessary in our lives whether or not they bring the desired result. ❤️💕❤️

Love makes the world go round, we are told. We all love something or someone, but how easy is it for us to demonstrate love. How vulnerable do we let ourselves be? How easy do we find it to move outside of our comfort zones to give our love away. But how rewarding is it when we do!!!!! And how much does love grow exponentially when we give it away!!! :)

How do you move past just having a dream and setting out to make it come true? I believe that RELENTLESSNESS is a key component of this - never stop moving. Let's look at the definition of this word, and try to figure out how to make it liveable in a gentle and graceful way. Find your dreams, define your dreams, and don't stop until you have reached that peak. :)

Self help...self awareness...self love...we are all so immersed in this blossoming industry. The benefits are clear to see. But are there any drawbacks? Can we become too selfish in setting our boundaries and loving ourselves? We discuss the pros and cons of putting ourselves first, and in addition, if this is a mindset that can easily been passed onto our children...or not. And...the fun of being...

How do we find our inner strength? Where does our inner confidence come from? How can the belief structures that we live within help us on our journey through life? And what are these belief structures? I have an unshakable belief that whatever it is that you find inspiration from - can help you to find your nest and your strength.

We all have hopes and dreams - but why do so many of us give up on them? And what is the first step that you can take to make sure that you are moving toward making them come true. What is the easiest, but sometimes the hardest thing to do in order to begin your journey toward success in whatever it is you are dreaming of.  Our hopes and dreams come in so many different forms; getting fi...
