From My Heart
to Yours 💕
A big part of why I do this work comes from my own journey. For many years, I held everything together, stayed strong, and kept going no matter how I felt inside. I believed I had to cope alone and push through, staying in survival mode without noticing.
Awareness changed everything. With small, compassionate shifts, the way I moved through my days began to change too.
This guide brings together the CBT practices that shifted my own patterns, so you can create small, meaningful changes that genuinely support you.
Small Steps, Big Shifts
You Deserve a Softer December
December can feel heavy when you are carrying so much inside. But small, compassionate shifts change more than we realise. When you interrupt old patterns, create space in your mind, and honour what you truly need, your whole month begins to soften. You deserve support, clarity, and a December that feels calmer on the inside, not just on the surface.
Small shifts today can change how the rest of December feels. Begin here.
