Come on, everyone! Let's put a bit of personality into those event posts! You're inviting people to spend their precious time with YOU, so give them a little taste of who you actually are! Have a laugh, loosen up a bit. You don't have to sound like you've swallowed a corporate handbook. 😂 Tell us something about yourself. Perhaps something you've learnt along the way, a mistake you've made, or one of those moments when you thought, "Well, that didn't quite go to plan!" Give people a reason to connect with YOU, not just your event. And while I'm on my soapbox... can we have a little word about those AI-generated images? 😂 You know the ones. Absolutely bursting with information, 47 different messages, tiny writing everywhere and enough graphics to give you a headache! Keep it simple. Make it relevant to your event. Bright, happy, eye-catching and, dare I say it... a bit of FUN! People don't just attend events because of what's being taught. They also attend because something about the person hosting catches their attention. So next time you're putting an event post together, ask yourself: Would I stop scrolling to read this, or would I just keep going? Come on, let's see a bit more of the REAL people behind these events! 😁 🤫 𝗢𝗛, 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗜 𝗚𝗢... Just so you know, Des and I are up to something AGAIN... 👀😂 Do you want to know what it is???? Well, I'll give you a little hint... ALL of you need this, MOST of you will want it, but only a FEW will actually get to experience it! 🤭 Intrigued? Pop a comment below and I'll see if I can persuade Des to let me spill a little more of the tea! ☕😂 Although knowing me, I'll probably end up letting something slip anyway! 🤣

Or you've walked into a room feeling perfectly fine, only to find yourself feeling anxious, uncomfortable or unsettled. We often assume that because we're experiencing an emotion, it must have begun within us. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲? I'm Kerry Upham, and through my years of working with emotional energy, I've discovered another way of exploring our emotional experiences. One that considers the invisible emotional environment we share with others, and how we may connect with and experience emotional energy without consciously recognising what's happening. I'd love to invite you to my one-hour online presentation: 𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 & 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻? 📅 𝗧𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🕛 𝟭𝟮:𝟬𝟬 𝗻𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝗘𝗗𝗧 (𝗠𝗲𝗹𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲/𝗦𝘆𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆) 💻 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 | 𝟭-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 🎟️ 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 Together, we'll explore: * Why emotional reactions can sometimes seem bigger than the situation. * The possibility that not every emotion we experience necessarily began within us. * How shared emotional environments may influence our experiences and reactions. * A simple way to begin noticing your emotions differently. You don't need any previous knowledge of emotional-energy work. Just bring your curiosity and an openness to explore a different perspective.

Because emotional freedom isn't about never experiencing difficult emotions. It's about developing a different understanding of what we're experiencing and what we continue carrying. 💚 𝗜'𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲!

I know I have. There was a time when I could carry anger for hours, sometimes days, without recognising that underneath it was often hurt I hadn't fully acknowledged. The original situation was over, but I was still experiencing its emotional effects. Learning to recognise these patterns has changed the way I live with my emotions. And it's something I'd love more parents to discover for themselves. 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗲'𝗿𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗚𝗬-𝗪𝗜𝗦𝗘 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘.

I used to have a habit of pushing my hurt aside. I'd get through whatever was happening, sometimes expressing anger instead, and then carry that angry feeling into the rest of my day. It wasn't until I began recognising the pattern that I could start changing what happened. It left me with a question I've been exploring for years: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱? And how might it continue influencing us, sometimes long after the original moment has passed? Tomorrow morning, we're exploring this and other questions in my weekly ENERGY-WISE LIVE.

Here's the replay for the November edition of the Literacy Lounge's speaker series featuring Dr. DeShanna Reed. It is a must see for parents of neurodivergent children, for parents of struggling readers, and quite frankly for anyone who believes a parent is a child's best advocate. Go ahead, take a listen ... you won't regret it. Then drop a line in the comments and let me know your thoughts.
