Feeling Anxious About Family Obligations and Expectations During the Festive Season? Here are 3 Tips

by NATALIE | Dec 13, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

It’s that time of the year again when my inbox and DMs fill up with people stressing about how to deal with family obligations and expectations during the festive season. There are three things that can keep you out of a lot of trouble and manage your anxiety...

Less than speedy text replies from loved ones doesn’t mean we’re being ignored

by NATALIE | Oct 28, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

Growing up, texting and near-constant connection didn’t exist. If I called someone who wasn’t home, the phone rang out, or I left a message on their voicemail or with whoever they lived with. In other instances, I called and got the busy signal. And then I...

Being together 24/7 or sharing all the same interests won’t make a happy relationship

by NATALIE | Oct 20, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

Our assumptions about what makes for a happy relationship are a source of unnecessary tension and frustration in our relationships. It’s this idea that ‘soulmates’ (or certainly people who ‘really love each other’) want to spend every spare moment together. We...

We don’t need to ‘confess’ our bad relationship experiences to a new partner

by NATALIE | Oct 18, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

When we’ve had what we might term “bad past experiences” and we realise that we’re in the beginnings of a much healthier, loving relationship, it’s not uncommon to feel as if we need to confess to our unavailable and shady relationships....

In our intimate relationships, “stable” doesn’t *have* to equal “dull”

by NATALIE | Oct 11, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

A frequent lament I hear from clients struggling to reconcile the reality of their relationship with the picture in their mind is ‘Why can’t they go back to being that great person from the beginning?’ or ‘Why can’t things go back to how they were at the start?’ The...

The “give and take” of relationships needs more intimacy and boundaries

by NATALIE | Sep 21, 2021 | Healthier Relationships

Growing up, I often heard the advice “Relationships are about give and take”. Years on, and after hearing thousands of stories, I’ve realised that we’ve taken this too literally. It’s as if we think that one person exists to give and the...

Jaysus, I’m officially forty-five! It feels like such a big age. 🤣👏🏾Much as I’ve enjoyed my forties so far and feel more me than I’ve ever been, it’s also been a mixed bag of emotions due to internalised messaging about ageing and so this sense that I’m ‘past it’. Like it’s only downhill from here when it really isn’t. Noticing these feelings and thoughts has been and still is an invitation to get grounded and connect to my truth, to notice the bias and bullshit. And do you know what? I’m grand. I’m learning to let things be and saying no to pressuring myself to be and do ‘more’. That includes remembering that much as I might still feel like a teen in my head, that I don’t need to try to pressure myself to have the body, the energy levels or ambitions of my twenties and thirties! Cheers to forty-five and whatever it has in store for me.

No matter how old I get, I’ll always be a 90’s raver at heart, so initially I wasn’t feeling Beyoncé’s new tune that much. And yet here I am a few days later raving it UP 🤣🤣

Until you know what you’re closed to, so what doesn’t work for you, what’s not in alignment with your values, boundaries, needs, desires and expectations, you can’t know and enjoy what you’re open to. You’re not a free-for-all. Express your boundaries by expressing more of who you really are. #baggagereclaim #healthyboundaries #boundariesarebeautiful #recoveringpeoplepleaser #peoplepleaser #selfcare #healthyrelationships #codependentnomore

View

Trying to live up to everyone’s expectations is like trying to cup the ocean in your hands. And yet so many of us do this to ourselves and then wonder why we feel so lost, anxious, low and resentful. Making ourselves jump through hoops for other people’s shoulds takes a toll on our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual well-being as well as the health and of our intimate relationships. When we allow ourselves to create healthy boundaries, to be more honest versions of ourselves, we accept that disappointing others by not always being able to meet their shoulds is a natural and healthy part of life. #baggagereclaim #healthyboundaries #selfcaretips #listentoyourself #recoveringpeoplepleaser #peoplepleaser #recoveringperfectionist
