This year im making it a priority to meet you all, hold space and be as present as possible. With that in mind ill be adding dates into the calendar and we have TWO coming up. The Sovereign Women - this is women's circle where we can meet, share and support each other with whatever has come that we need to share, and have witnessed. This will be hosted by me x The Sovereign Man - this is a mens circles. It's a space for men to come together, share, and support each other. This is not coaching, its holding space, its judgement free, its support. This will be hosted by @Paul Sweeney who is a fantastic soul, with a whole heap of lived experience, a curious mind and a big heart. Ill be adding more random hangouts, mixed sessions, practices and as much fun, valuable and supportive things as possible.

I did Carolines healing programmes, then i trained in Carolines school as a highly certified Somatic Trauma Informed Coach & Narcissistic Abuse specialist, in Hypnotherapy, brainspotting and Positive Psychology. I then went on to become a Brand Parter of The Mental Wellbeing Company bringing Trauma informed workshops, training and speaking out to the world. I weave all this training in with spiritual practice, energy healing and my own lived experience. Caroline taught me that we can only take accountability for ourselves. And healing is our Superpower. As she says we are hope merchants. When we heal ourselves that creates an even larger ripple effect out into the world. Tx

Happy Saturday. Tomorrow is Self Care Sunday, BUT showing ourselves love and care is an everyday activity for us to honor. What are you doing for yourself this weekend to bring yourself more love, more care, and support your highest and best? Tx

Hello everyone I have been following @Tina Woods posts on Dafree group for a while and have learned alot about surviving in narcissistic relationship. I felt this is familiar and been normalised in my life since I was little. My mum has been showing this, I felt no emotional connection with her, in fact I was dad s girl, but he wasn't home long enough since the culture I grown up into, man go work and women stay home looking after children. I found this was normalised in my life which didn't like, as i felt like my dad socialising, business orientated and being free to do what he enjoys. Seems to be i have attracted what I ve seen in my house, and married a man as good girl for my mum and dad, they wanted the best for me, they could see this man loved me and that was good enough. I could see red flags, I could see things I wasn't ok, uncomfortable 😅 but I have searched for support and I got or found books to read about how to love your partner. Read the 5 love language which helped me keep the peace in the house. I found one thing my husband liked was a verse from Bible when " women submit to their husbands" and this i ve known since my childhood, was spoken in church about it alot and was clearly everyone followed. I found this questionionable and I always liked to challenge people about this especially as I could see some would accept abusive behaviour, abusive languages. When I first met my now husband, I went to his house a few times and I could see how he speaks to his mum: "shut up" that was my 1st red flag and in fact I challenged it straight away...why do you talk to your mum like that? I never spoken to my parents disrespectful, or I would have got smacked 😅 ha I guess he felt comfortable to do so. Then his dad would cook and everyone would have to be out of his way, dont touch as he hasn't finished doing his things. I felt tension in the house. Yet my parents didnt know or see any of it. I didnt know how to back away...I had 2 years to consider if this is the family I want to marry into.

It's really important we understand a red flag from a green flag in relationships, and can help others spot unhealthy patterns before they start. Here is a check to share with those who might need it esp young people, it's part of my Trauma Informed Red Flags for Teens relationship workshop. Relationship Red & Green Flag Checklist 🚩 Red Flags (Check what feels familiar) - ⬜ Intense attention, gifts, or declarations very early (love-bombing) - ⬜ Jealousy or discomfort when you spend time with others - ⬜ Guilt, pressure, or emotional withdrawal when you say “no” - ⬜ Requests to check your phone, messages, or whereabouts - ⬜ Public jokes or criticism followed by “I was only joking” - ⬜ Monitoring or reacting strongly to your online activity - ⬜ Sudden silence, ghosting, or disappearing without explanation - ⬜ Sharing private or embarrassing information to control or shame - ⬜ You feel anxious, hypervigilant, confused, or like you’re “too much” - ⬜ Your nervous system feels activated rather than calm ✅ Green Flags (Check what supports safety) - ⬜ Your boundaries are respected without pressure or punishment - ⬜ You’re encouraged to have friendships and interests outside the relationship - ⬜ Communication is open, honest, and emotionally safe - ⬜ Your privacy is respected — no checking or surveillance - ⬜ Accountability is taken and apologies are genuine - ⬜ Conflict is handled calmly, without silent treatment or control - ⬜ You’re spoken about kindly in public and private - ⬜ Communication is consistent and reliable - ⬜ You feel grounded, calmer, and more regulated around them - ⬜ You feel more like yourself, not less 🌿 Trauma-Informed Reminder Healthy love feels safe, consistent, steady, not confusing. If you know of parents groups, schools, colleges or other spaces where this workshop would serve please let me know, im building an outreach list for 2026. Tx
