Hello beautiful soul!

Growing up, I never wanted to be my mother - and I did not want to marry someone like my father.

My parents had their issues, and while I had compassion for their journeys - in my mind, I kept thinking, "No way would I be my mother or put up being in a relationship with someone that would treat me the same way my father treated my mother."

Consciously we know what isn't good...

Following on from last week, I want to share about Intuition, Parenting, and the Pandemic. 

Intuition plays a big part in knowing that we are living from a place of Love.

Intuition is all about making choices that align with our Highest Self.

However - most of us have Intuition as a concept, an idea, a feeling - and it's not a one size fits all.

The outcome is always the same "To trust...

There is 1 question that will reveal your patterns.

It is the reason why you don't feel safe in relationships or feel safe to be loved or feel safe to be abundant.

It is the reason why you have "imposter syndrome" and feeling like a fraud.

It is the reason why you can't ask for what you need, don't know how to navigate conflict, and numb yourself - or push people away when you need them.

It will...

I'm 16 years old.

It's a regular scene in our home. My brother (13 years old) and I are sitting at the top of the stairs listening in on our parents arguing.

My parents are screaming and yelling at each other.

However, on this particular day, it's escalating.

"WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME?!" Yells my mum through her tears at my dad.

In her hand is a knife. She has put it to her neck.

"I'm going to kill...

Last week I shared about "Choosing Love".

This week, I want to share the other side of the story.

It proved to be a balm to many adult children who grew up feeling unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. If you missed it, you can read it here.

For the parents of adult children where the relationship is testing, my previous post would have cut really deep.

It may have triggered old wounds,...

John and I are on our walk.

"How are you feeling about your parents?". He asked.

If you've been following for a while, you may know the story.

Late last year, my parents disowned me - it was over a misunderstanding.

I was given an ultimatum.

"Stop doing what you're doing (i.e. teaching and writing on how to heal from generational patterns), or you lose us as parents."

I chose what was most...

Forgiveness is big.

Without a relationship to "forgiveness", we don't have a relationship to Love.

Without understanding forgiveness, we are hindered in the way we love.

Have you ever made a mistake?

Here's the "truth" of what you need to accept about being human.

We're always going to make mistakes. There will be times when we fall short. There will be moments where we wish we did...

"Yummii - I'm so worried about my teenage daughter. I'm scared - really scared. She is going "boy" crazy, lying to us and your newsletter hit home. So ... how do I learn to love myself?"

When we get into this "gridlock" with our children we tend to think "I have to work harder at being patient and present". And then we get so frustrated at them, we give up. Then the guilt cycle starts.

The teenage years... Like "terrible twos", I feel like the "rebellious" teenage years are greatly misunderstood.

(I don't believe there is such a thing as terrible twos - I do believe, however, two-year-olds have brains that are developing, and this can be challenging). 

I would have been regarded as your "rebellious teenager". I would have been the teenager with the challenges that most...
