I help heartbroken women navigate through the confusion and upheaval of loss by providing compassionate support and practical guidance. As a Grief Coach who has found a way up and out of the depths of grief, I understand the journey to creating a new life beyond the pain. Transforming pain into purpose is not only possible, but it is also empowering and deeply healing. https://lnkd.in/gzHPWZWN

Just received an email from Loopy Cases and I couldn't be more compelled to give them a shoutout. It's refreshing to see a company that's mindful and sensitive to their audience. They're giving their subscribers the option to opt-out of Mother's Day and Father's Day emails. As someone who has family and close friends who struggle with infertility, I appreciate their willingness and sensitivity. Let's hope more companies follow their lead and show support for those who struggle in silence. #infertilityawareness #nationalinfertilityawarenessweek #loopycases #consumermarketing

Do you find you don’t hear quite as well as you used too? Maybe you're finding that people are mumbling, or you need to ask people to repeat themselves more often these days? We encourage anyone who suspects they are not hearing as well as they used too, to have a hearing test, and what you should do about it.

Game changer to help rebuild your confidence in a society that encourages alcohol. There were some comments of you have come/going all this way for this night, but it's more than that, the Sober Butterfly Collective has reminded me to invest in myself, something that I rarely did prior to sobriety, if in reality, ever. You could look at cost and time, or for some it may seem like a long way to go, but for me it's actually well worth it to do so. Because I finally recognise my own worth. From a mental health point of view sobriety has improved it significantly, despite depression still effecting me it's no longer as harsh as it once was, and all social anxiety has disappeared. Sometimes I felt like I needed a drink just to take the edge off a stressful day to relax or needed one to give you a bit of a buzz for a night out, the high anxiety of walking into a pub without alcohol in my bloodstream filled me with dread. You drink the alcohol to calm your nerves but it's the same alcohol that is causing your anxiety on the recovery and then you just repeat the cycle over and over again. Almost 18 months into sobriety and I've not looked back, nor will I ever.

This Women’s History Month lets address respecting when a womxn says “no”. Patriarchal society tries to tell us that the best time in a womxn’s life is when they are young and beautiful. However research shows that womxn get happier as they get older, and in my experience this has been because my “no” is understood, I don’t have to build an elaborate structure of excuses around saying “no”, or say it with a smile to lace my “no” with something sweet. I care much less how my “no” is received because it is a “no” that works for me. I am also much less put off by the “no” of others and don’t automatically take it as rejection. It’s just the “no” that works for them at the time. Because womxn are socialized to be “nice” to serve patriarchal constructs, as you have to operate less and less in service of this it frees you up to experience life predicated on healthy boundaries which has an amazing effect on your mental health and emotional wellbeing. I still struggle with saying “no” and sometimes I have to gather the courage to go back on what I agreed to without feeling bad. If you feel something rise up in you that gets irritated or angry when a womxn says “no”, at least recognize you are not owed a certain type of response. Walk away and leave them alone. Keep womxn safe.

How often have you found yourself saying “I’m fine” when asked how you are – when really there was a whole lot more going on beneath the surface. That’s why this year’s Time to Talk Day campaign theme is ‘what I really mean’, highlighting that the words we say don’t always reflect what you might be feeling. Stigma still poses a major barrier for people when it comes to opening up and saying what’s on their mind, especially at work. Learn more about how to get involved⬇ https://buff.ly/3Gq8RWx
