I mentioned this here recently, but there is such a back to school vibe this September. I don’t know if it’s always like this and I’ve never noticed before, or if it’s because I launched something new myself, but wow - there is some energy in this month. I think that energy is change… it’s calling … Continue reading Compassionate goal setting
A bit of a different post from me today as today is the day I launch my self-worth coaching services *happy dance*. While I’ve been physically working towards this goal for about a year, emotionally and mentally I’ve been working towards it for much longer. When I started blogging in 2008, I had no real … Continue reading Self-worth coaching launch
Having low self-worth basically means you don’t think a huge amount of yourself. Maybe you don’t like what you see in the mirror or the way you always apologise when you don’t need to. You might have a raging self-critic, telling you you aren’t good enough and that you can’t do that awesome thing you’d … Continue reading Self-worth in your business
I initially planned to call this blog ‘X steps to self-acceptance’, but then I realised just how big a topic that is, and I don’t feel like a blog post could ever do it justice. We’re all unique and the relationships we have with ourselves are complicated. There are so many reasons why some of … Continue reading Self-acceptance game changers
I’ve had one of those days. You know when you’re on the edge of tears all day and kinda wish you’d spent the day in bed? There’s a squirmy discomfort and, for me at least, a real sense of sadness. I’ve cried twice already and the day isn’t over yet. I was musing on this … Continue reading Using negative emotions
As many of you know by now, I struggled a lot in my teens and early 20s, I struggled with confidence, low self-esteem, anorexia and self-harm. A great deal of my wanting to be a coach who helps people with self-worth and self-care has come from these experiences. Sometimes I feel like what I write … Continue reading Letter to my younger self
I never used to be particularly organised. In fact, I was messy, always late and very forgetful in my teens and early 20s. I’m not sure when the shift happened, but these days I’m very tidy, hate being late… maybe still a little forgetful. Being organised and planning ahead is something I’ve found so important … Continue reading How I organise my life
Today I want to talk about the stories we tell ourselves, how to recognise whether or not they’re helpful and how we can start changing them. When I say stories, I mean things like… “I’m disorganised” “I’m not creative” “I could never wear that” “I’m not good at public speaking” For some of us, these … Continue reading Changing the narrative: Are we limiting ourselves?
Last year I went to my first Blogtacular conference. I had been working on Blue Jay of Happiness for six months (and a previous blog for 8 years prior) and thought it was about time to immerse myself into the blogging community. At that point it was still just a hobby for me. At the … Continue reading Connections, confidence and calm – what I took away from Blogtacular 2018
This is one of those blog posts that makes my chest tight writing about. It makes me uncomfortable because I feel unqualified to talk about race and I’m treading a very fine line between using my privileged position to speak about important issues and centralising myself, a white woman, in a conversation about race. Yikes. … Continue reading What I’m doing to learn more about race
