Don’t listen when the gremlins say Less than, Not worthy, Not enough. Don’t listen when the gremlins say Different, Too much, Not enough. Don’t listen when the gremlins say Weird, Broken, Not enough. Don’t listen when the gremlins say Past it, Unloved, Not enough. Hear the cheerleaders when they say You matter, You’re worthy, You’re enough. Hear the cheerleaders when they say You belong, You’re perfect, You’re enough. Hear the cheerleaders when they say You’re courageous, You’re whole, You’re enough. Hear the cheerleaders whey they say You’re just getting started, You’re so very, very loved, Y ..read more

In my Newsletter have been sharing about the adventures I had over the last couple of weeks with my brother. Beforehand I was asked are you going to be taking time off to spend with him? Yes, absolutely created that space to spend every minute possible that he is on this side of the security gates at the airport! And that we did! I have written in previous newsletters about creating space, and how it is a pillar to living an authentic life. For you, it may not be adventures, you may want to be creating space for something else in your world, it may be creativity, study, laughter, new friendshi ..read more

Pheweeeeee, I am having some beautiful, deep, dynamic conversations at the moment. There are some similar topics that are coming up, but I think the thread that is underneath them, is that feeling of enoughness. That feeling where we can look in the mirror at ourselves and say yes, I am enough. There have been some nights where sleep has been a wee bit elusive for me recently, and I have gone through the different motions, reading, music, cup of tea (I know, caffeine, but it works sometimes!) and one night as the clock ticked over to 1am, I thought “right Liz, you gotta do something.” Out came ..read more

When we are on the reclaiming stage of the pathway to belonging, we need the foundations of our true self in place to be able to dive in to an area of ourselves that maybe is a bit dark or a bit scary. For those that know the Disney film Encanto, there is a character in there called Bruno, and a song ‘We don’t talk about Bruno.’ Each character has a superpower and Bruno’s was precognition, the knowledge of an event or happening before it unfolds. He was deemed the bearer of bad news and shunned by the family. I won’t spoil what happens(!), but it reminded me of the reclaiming stage, the stage ..read more

How does a weary world rejoice? How do we rejoice, how do we bring more of that beautifully grounded sense of joy in to our world especially when there is a lot of tough stuff going on around us. So this week, I am bringing you some thoughts about joy that have helped me to understand more about this emotion. 1. I had a wall up. A flipping high, thick wall, that my dear friend kindly told me also had spikes on apparently! That wall was to protect me, it was to ensure that nobody got close enough to see what I saw. To see what I believed I was, that they would no longer be fooled with whatever ..read more

If Google has its most searched for words, then I think breathing would possibly be my most consciously thought thought, my most talked about process and my most actioned tool this year. It has played a big part in my healing journey this year… I feel I still have work to do on my day to day breathing, but my focus this year seems to have been using breathing to calm the nervous system.  When I have been in that place of shame that I have spoken about recently, when I am stepping out my comfort zone and feeling nervous or anxious, when I am feeling overwhelmed or similar, focusing on my b ..read more

Doing my daily walk the other day minding my own business, and I heard two dogs yapping up the driveway of a house.  Not taking much notice I carried on.  Then I thought hand on, that seems to be getting louder and sure enough these two little dogs were hot on my heels on this main road. A lot of shouting from the owners and thankfully the two dogs made their way back down the road and up the drive.  My heart was pounding!  Now for most, it wouldn’t have alarmed the one bit, but jeepers it triggered something in me. I haven’t had a great track record with dogs, being chased ..read more

I am not a cry baby. I am not attention seeking. I am not turning on the water works again. Please don’t tell me to sort my shit out. Maybe I can’t just get on with it. I am stuck. I feel sick. I’m finding it hard to breathe. Trapped. I can see what this looks like. Please don’t judge me. Maybe my actions haven’t been that great. Maybe my words haven’t been that kind. But I can’t find the right words The words come out wrong It’s not about you. It’s not about you. If my pain was physical, It would be a wound, a gash. Blood would be pouring out. Deep, infected. You would of ..read more

“I can’t talk to my family about this Liz, they all tell me I’m the strong one, and that I’ve got my shit together.” But even the strong ones need that hug sometimes, that reassurance, that space, that support, that encouragement.  The strong ones also need faith and belief, compassion, a buddy to walk the path with them If you are a strong one who is ‘propping so many up, who is supporting and encouraging, but then goes home and sobs, or can feel that pent up stuff building in your body, please send me a message.  You can simply say “I can’t be strong anymore” and we can start ..read more

If you are lost. If nothing makes sense anymore. If all your reference points have collapsed. If the old life is crumbling now. If the mind is foggy, tired, busy. If the organism is exhausted and longs to rest. Celebrate. Trust. This is a rite of passage, not an error. You are healing in your own original way. Contact the ground now. Breathe. In, out. Make room for the visitors: The sorrow, doubt, fear, anger. An ancient emptiness – They just want to be felt. They just want to pass through. You are a vessel, not a separate self. You are a sky, not the passing weather. An old life is falling aw ..read more
