There must come a time When the silenced speak Voices break free from locked boxes Kept underneath a royal bed. The Little Mermaid lullaby lied Teaching girls to sell their voice For a promised Prince and Immortal soul.

“Self-help” books I’ve read and enjoyed
These books aren’t all categorised as self-help and I think I agree with Leena Norms on YouTube who said that the genre “self-help” is a little confusing anyway.

Journal Entry on Rising Anxiety
I think right now I just don’t feel grounded at all. Like my foundations are tectonic plates shifting. It’ll either cause mountains of beauty ... or an erupting volcano or a straight up earthquake.

“Psychoanalysing” the People We Love
Firstly, DISCLAIMERS! I am not saying we all need to become therapists or psychologists and start diagnosing our family members with mental health issues, and highlighting traumas in our friends! I'm not saying that I am in any way a professional with the ability to diagnose or psychoanalyse anyone...like at all. What I mean by… Continue reading “Psychoanalysing” the People We Love

Stop Giving Away Your Power (podcast)
In today's podcast episode, I'm talking passionately about our self-worth and self-esteem and how these are affected by how much power we give to external things. We mindlessly give away energy, power, thoughts, feelings, and time to things that don't deserve it. We rely too heavily on external things, when we need more self-trust above… Continue reading Stop Giving Away Your Power (podcast)
