In this talk, I share what has helped me personally to heal from cPTSD and what I have found useful when supporting people therapeutically. This includes professional support, daily meditation, mindfulness, somatic awareness, psychoeducation, writing, exercise, martial arts, community, and learning to understand the different parts of ourselves shaped by trauma.

I also discuss the reality that healing is rarely linear. New layers emerge, old patterns become clearer, and progress is often better measured through functional improvements such as sleeping better, working more, socializing, and feeling calmer in everyday life.

Finally, I explore the possibility of post-traumatic growth and finish with a simple grounding practice to help return attention to the present moment and remind yourself: I am here now, and this moment is safe.

Note: This is general information drawn from lived and professional experience, not individualized therapeutic advice.

What is your calling?

This episode explores what it means to discover your calling and why living in alignment with your deepest values can transform your mental health and sense of purpose.

Drawing on my own journey from teaching to psychotherapy, I reflect on trauma, uncertainty, and the search for meaningful work, sharing practical frameworks like Ikigai and my ‘3A process of healing’ Awareness, Acceptance, and Action.

We explore the fears and inner blocks that keep us stuck, the courage required to leave the comfortable rut, and how deep introspection can reveal the direction you were always meant to follow.

It is imperative that you find your calling, because if you don’t you are withholding your full value from the world.

Agency is your belief in your ability to influence your life.

Effort + Time = Results.

I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately, as I’m in the midst of some major life changes. I recently received my Graduate Diploma of Counselling and I am updating my website, books, and offerings to reflect this next chapter. I’m also continuing to show up each day, facilitating daily guided meditations on Insight Timer and working to expand my reach and impact.

On the personal front, I’m training Jiu Jitsu more than ever, confronting the excuses that once held me back from competing, and proving to myself that growth comes from action, not intention.

Positive change rarely happens overnight. It takes, consistent actions repeated daily. The key is believing that your actions matter and then acting accordingly.

I encourage you to believe in your ability to create positive change in your own life, and then to ACT!

In this session, I also introduce 'The Flame & The Void' meditation from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. You can listen to a guided version here, with separate recordings available for both adults and children.
