I've done this many, many times. I've written it down, set it on fire (safely) and said "I release you" repeatedly while I watch the flames do their work.

It's quite a freeing feeling, especially the next day.

Have you tried it?

I can't take full credit for this, you know.

The #Universe gave me this idea during a live, popped it right into my head and out my mouth while I was speaking, before I had a chance to even register the thought.

And so I let it manifest 😍

I absolutely LOVE doing Lives but really miss delivering interactive workshops, so this is going to be FABULOUS 🌟

It's kind of like a "Girls Night In" but with women you haven't met yet, stories you haven't heard and epiphanies just waiting to happen ❤

So many of us start our healing journey and feel the wrath of those around us who do not understand this work. It can feel isolating and lonely, but I assure you that there are many women who feel like you, just waiting to make that connection. ❤

So let's just do it over Zoom 👑

Arrive with a notebook, pen and maybe a glass/mug of something that makes you smile.🥂

We will do some writing activities around healing and self care, some group discussion, make new connections, get a little competitive and maybe even have a little shimmy to some feel-good tunes ❤

Side note: Is it failing when you learn something from the experience? A lesson learned is still a win, in my opinion.

What stories are you telling yourself? What lies

What stories are you telling yourself?

What lies have held you back? What fears have stopped you from trying?

I was a little girl who wanted to go to university. It seemed like a wonderful place to learn and I loved education.

As I got older, it seemed out of reach. I didn't think I'd be able to afford to go. I didn't know you could get a loan for it, I thought you had to pay upfront 😅 and my family didn't have that kind of money.

Then, when I was physically attacked in sixth form by a "friend" I decided to scrap my A-Levels and work full-time in retail instead.

Then when I was 18 my mum died, so maybe it was for the best that I dropped out of education then. I was so young, I hadn't quite mastered the resilience and survival strategies I have now.

A long-term relationship left me feeling stupid, like I couldn't think for myself, couldn't do things without permission, that I wasn't smart enough to be in any room. I was made to feel dumb and so this is what I believed.

👑 Until I decided to try something new.

👑 Until I decided that I deserved more.

👑 Until I chose to take back my power.

In 2013, just a few weeks before my 28th birthday, I enrolled on an Access to Higher Education course. I was a single mum to a 4 year old and a 1 year old, with wavering self esteem and self doubt, but I was beginning to believe I was made for more.

I had already surprised myself by publishing my first book, Shattered Dreams.

I wanted to see what else I could do.

Two years later, I enrolled at a local University.

Three years later, I graduated with my degree.

This was two years ago now, and I am just in awe that I am at this point of what once seemed like an impossible journey.

👑 The story you tell yourself matters.

Rather than thinking that your goal is impossible to reach, ask yourself:

"How can I make it happen?"

And then go do exactly that ❤

It's time to write your own story, and give yourself a leading role 👑
