Overwhelmed? Time to Review Your Self-Care Strategy
Sometimes, being an adult truly sucks. We often mourn the carefree existence of our youth as we feel like we constantly face challenges in our lives. From planning dinner each day, ignoring the mountain of ironing that is growing in the corner, dealing with arseholes at work, never-ending to-do lists, health worries, money worries, childcare issues, aging parents, our own relationships with our partners and for some of us, perimenopause and all the joys that brings, it is little wonder we are feeling a tad stretched.

Releasing Things That No Longer Serve Us

Your Well Being ALWAYS Comes First
In healthy, loving relationships there is mutual care, support, consideration and love.

Writing Your Own Affirmations for Better Results
