Younger me would be shocked I’ve posted a video saying I love my period!! 😅🤪

I like every woman I have worked with or spoken to I hated my periods.

Told from an early age to be ashamed of them hide them, that they are “a curse”.

Something to fear 😰

Today, my relationship with my cycle is completely different.

My period has become a monthly invitation to slow down, check in and listen. To enjoy the release of all my womb has been holding.

It’s one of the ways I know if I’m caring for myself or abandoning myself.

One of the ways I measure how connected I am to my body.

And while I never imagined I’d say this, I’ve grown to genuinely love that time of the month.

Not because it’s always comfortable.

But because it reminds me that my body isn’t working against me. My womb is my biggest companion she’s always telling whether I’m aligned or not.

I’m curious…

What’s your relationship with your period like?

Do you dread it, ignore it, tolerate it, or has it become something different for you?

There was a time when I couldn’t properly relax.

If I heard a car pull into the drive, I’d jump up.

If I heard keys in the door, I’d jump up.

If someone walked into the room, I’d instantly become alert.

I didn’t realise it at the time, but my body was always bracing for what was coming next.

The shame and guilt I would feel sitting down.
If I ever saw Niall cleaning I would feel I should be doing it not him and I was a failure for not doing it first.

Always preparing.
Always anticipating.
Always on guard.

I thought I was just stressed.

I thought I was just busy.

I thought that was normal.

Now I can sit on the sofa and stay sitting.

I can hear someone arrive home and not feel responsible for managing everyone else’s mood.

I can rest without feeling guilty.

I can be present without waiting for the next problem.

That change didn’t happen because I became stronger.

It happened because I finally felt safe.

Sometimes healing isn’t becoming a different person.

It’s teaching your body that the danger has passed.

💛 If this resonates, comment SAFE or send me a DM. I’d love to know if you’ve ever caught yourself jumping up the moment you hear someone coming.

We create amazing coping skills to survive

People pleasing is such a common one especially for Irish women and this is said from a reformed people pleaser! So theirs no judgement here 😅

It works but at a cost yes in the short term people make you feel needed and loved but then you worry what if you stop and they no longer love you in the same way.

This builds frustration or resentment in your body you may not even be aware of and it could be a contributing factor to your weight issue!

Our bodies are always keeping us safe so when you start to feel safe in your skin and find your voice weight as a consequence dissolves as it’s no longer needed as protection.

The weight of safety isn’t a diet or exercise program

Its a way to feel safe and comfortable in your skin and break unconscious habits that are affecting your physical, mental and emotional health

If you are tired of battling your body come and join me starting Tuesday 8th online and recorded if you are working with extra support in between calls

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by giving it a go!

If you’ve been looking after everyone else for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to look after yourself… this is for you. 🤍

You don’t need another diet.

You don’t need more willpower.

And you don’t need to try harder.

Sometimes what we’re trying to change on the surface — our relationship with food, our body, our emotions — has much deeper roots.

The Weight of Safety is an 8-week journey to explore what’s really underneath the patterns.

🧠 Conscious mind
🌙 Subconscious mind
🫶 Nervous system
🤍 Body
✨ Your relationship with yourself

And because I know your mornings are already full of everyone else’s needs…

We’re doing this Tuesday mornings, straight after the school run.

One hour.

Just for you.

Starting Tuesday 8th September.

8 live Zoom sessions + recordings + hypnosis + gentle movement + WhatsApp support.

If something in this is speaking to you, DM me “SAFETY” and I’ll send you the details.

Maybe it’s time to stop fighting yourself and start understanding yourself. 🤍

Today’s one min pause we are using the power of touch to connect with our bodies

The power of touch is the first way as babies we experience the world and it’s so powerful

We often underestimate how powerful simply touching our own arms or giving ourselves a hug 🤗 can be to our nervous systems

In 2025, Women’s Aid received 4,755 disclosures of abuse against children.

That’s 13 disclosures every single day.

Not every child can speak up.
Not every child understands what is happening to them.
Not every child has a safe adult to turn to.

Which is why the adults around them matter.

If you suspect a child is being harmed, don’t look away.
Don’t convince yourself it’s none of your business.
Don’t assume someone else will step in.

Children need adults who are willing to speak up when they cannot.

Silence protects abusers.
It never protects children.

If this message resonates with you, please share it. One conversation, one report, one person paying attention can make all the difference.
