This blog is my musings on issues we face in this messy human existence, the changing seasons of the year and our life, the things I see in clinic and some of my own healing journey issues that I believe will resonate with others.

Today is the Autumn Equinox here in the Southern hemisphere, and it is a time where we're starting to head towards winter. We are heading into the more contractive stage of the year, where we go within.

I find it a little bit like that protective mentality, where we want to keep the bad stuff out, rather than resilience, which comes from the idea that we can protect ourselves against anything that comes along.

It's tied to all of these different external factors.
Read MoreToday I want to dive into dark nights of the soul, what they are, and what they're not, because I think there's a lot of misinformation out about them.
I think that a lot of people assume that dark nights of the soul are just hard times. It's when things are tumultuous, and challenging, and we need to go within to find some resources and tools to use.
Read MoreToday's topic is about the relationship between empaths and narcissists. Now there is so much information out there about these types of relationships, but what really helped me in my understanding was looking at the way that the narcissist comes about energetically. It's a really fascinating thing.
Read MoreIt is one year since the birth of my book - Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence. A few lessons:
1. You don't get support from the places you expect it, but you do receive unexpected support
2. Once your work is out in the world, you have no control over how it is received/interpreted
