It’s a weird summer, half living with my parents again, and sometimes friend’s houses. Running my own business, unsure of my income week to week. Living out of a suitcase, missing my lizard and trying to make new friends at age 30. There’s been so much change this year and it’s hard to imagine my future. Instead I’m forced to find what is a constant through all of this.

I think anger has a bad reputation. We don’t want to be called ‘angry’ and the word is often associated with things like aggression. Anger, like any emotion, isn’t bad. I don’t believe any emotions are good or bad. Anger is the part of you that loves and protects you, that will stand up for you and knows when you are being treated unfairly. Which is so important!

Your whole life is being shaped by what you say yes to and what you say no to. By what you allow, and don’t allow. This is why setting and maintaining boundaries impacts your quality of life, and all the relationships within it. Romantic, friendships, family or professional.

I find myself becoming increasingly passionate about helping people discover their own self-worth. Seeing the results of this and the impact it has on client’s lives, is very rewarding. It’s a private, vulnerable journey, which is an honour to be a part of. Watching someone gradually realise, and accept, that they are not a ‘work in progress’. That their authentic self can be safe and loved, just as they are today.
