DevelopME

DevelopME DevelopME groups provide a safe space for parents to engage in age-appropriate activities with their child under the gentle guidance of a DevelopME coach.

Our groups also provide an opportunity for parents to connect with and support each other. Each weekly DevelopME group will include activities that cover four important areas of childhood development-physical, cognitive, sensory and emotional-social. DevelopME groups are aimed to help parents become skilled at sustaining their child’s concentration during an activity, learning how to follow their child’s lead during play and encouraging independence in their child.

A few weeks ago in Stellenbosch, I asked myself:

“If there were no fears, expectations or financial constraints, what would I choose?”

I had no answer.

So I did something I hadn’t done in years. I put away my laptop, found some watercolours and painted. I listened to jazz. I slowed down.

And something shifted.

I felt curious. Creative. Unrushed. Like myself.

It made me wonder how often our protective self, the part that overworks, pleases, perfects and pushes through — drowns out our authentic self.

The part that knows what matters.
The part that wants to create, connect and explore.

So I’ll leave you with the question that stayed with me:

If there were no fears, expectations or financial constraints, what would your authentic self choose?

You don’t need an answer today. Just let it sit.

And if you feel that little stirring inside, join me on 8 September for Your Journey Back to Yourself.

Saying “yes” when you desperately want to say “no” is exhausting.

People-pleasing can look like:
☑Replying immediately because you’re afraid of disappointing someone.
☑Overexplaining your boundaries.
☑Keeping the peace while silently burning out.
☑Taking care of everyone else while abandoning yourself.

And eventually, you don’t even know what YOU need anymore.

You learn to stay agreeable.
To keep others comfortable.
To minimise your own needs.

But constantly abandoning yourself comes at a cost.

In Session 3 of this powerful webinar series, we’ll unpack:
✔ Why people-pleasing feels so hard to stop
✔ The link between masking, guilt, and burnout
✔ How to set boundaries without shame
✔ Ways to honour your needs while maintaining healthy relationships
