• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 13: Self-Sabotage

  Self-doubt, worry, fear, the list goes on; all of these can play a crippling role in our lives. For some it doesn’t take centre stage and for others it can be debilitating. In 2022, this really became one of my biggest challenges, feeling like I was good enough, in different aspects of my life. This […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 12: Abandonment Anxiety

  I think most single people will tell you that dating in 2022 is one tough exercise, people were complex back in 2009, now add social anxieties, ghosting, lack of communication, it feels like less and less people are actually willing to genuinely court someone. While doing some of my own self-reflection, I came across an […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 11: Healing

  

  Healing. If that isn’t a 2022 buzz word, then I don’t know what is! This post isn’t to say that I am writing this post from a “healed” standpoint, because I don’t know if that’s really a thing, but what I can say is that it comes from a position of me actively trying and […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt: 10 Speaking Up For Yourself

  

  A couple months back, I was feeling all of the feels and was so deeply in my own head, it began to affect me in ways I didn’t expect. It took some time for me to realize or understand that I was in fact very anxious about this situation and after a couple of chats […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 9: About Money

  

  One of the frustrating parts of adulting, is managing your finances, at least for me- it’s definitely NOT the sexy part and for the most part as a single parent, I find it frustrating to not have as much expendable cash at the end of each month to “make it rain” with. So, during lockdown, […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me Pt 8: Intimacy

  

  Let’s talk intimacy, but not the kind you’re used to hearing about. As I’ve slowly began to lightly dip my toe back into the dating game ( and I mean lightly ), it has gotten me thinking about the foundational things I am looking for. One of those things is; intimacy, real connective intimacy. This […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 8: People Pleasing

  

  I’ve touched on this subject lightly in the past, but I wanted to dig a bit deeper for myself. This week on the blog, I discuss what I wish someone would have to told me about people pleasing. Have a read. People pleasing hides the real you. Setting boundaries will be tough: I’m that person, […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me: Pt 7 Mental Health

  

  When I began this series, I suppose this should have been one of the 1st posts, but it didn’t work out that way. In some aspects this series came about on a whim and the subject matter varies, but it’s no secret that we have had our fair share of experiences when it comes to […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 6: Soul Mates

  

  It’s engrained in us from a young age, the Prince and the princess find each other and stroll off into the sunset. The idea is lovely. Roses and petals maybe even some glitter and fireworks. Or like others claim, a jolt to the chest or electricity. But is that really how it works? Or is […]

• I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me About Pt 5: Being Toxic

  There’s a lot of conversation about toxicity, be it in the office, in our relationships or online, but it really got me thinking, what if the toxicity comes from you? What if the decision you made or the actions you took in your past life, were indicative of negative behaviours? It’s not often you hear […]
