IF WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING FOR A LONG TIME, ARE UNWELL, FEELING WEAK OR HAVE BECOME STUCK IN PAIN, IT CAN BECOME OUR VERSION OF NORMAL. IT CAN BE CHALLENGING TO SEE OURSELVES AS ABLE TO HEAL, RECOVER OR CHANGE. In this blog, I explore my personal journey in recovery and share my most recent results after recovering from a fibromyalgia flare-up after significant loss, grief and trauma. I explain how I found what works for me & where the foundations of Love School processes come from.

OFTEN, WHEN WE REALISE WE NEED TO HEAL, IT IS BECAUSE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED WITH OUR PAST EXPERIENCES & CREATED AN EGO IDENTITY THAT REINFORCES THIS THROUGH OUR CHOICES, THINKING AND HOW WE RESPOND TO LIFE. TO RECOVER, WE NEED TO DECONSTRUCT THIS IDENTITY AND BREAK DOWN THE EGO SELF TO ALLOW US TO GROW & CHANGE. Our ego is the constructed self that identifies us as a singular, fixed being. In this blog, I introduce the concept of the ego self and explore how it can cause us to need healing. Considering how it might limit our potential to heal and what we can do to recover as we evolve beyond the ego self that keeps us sick, unwell or stuck in old patterns.

OUR CAPACITY TO COPE WITH LIFE CAN MEAN MANY THINGS FOR US. ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE HEALING, OFTEN WE HAVE REACHED A POINT OF OUR LIMIT IN SOME WAY, “HITTING ROCK BOTTOM”, FEELING “TOTAL OVERWHELM” OR EXPERIENCING BURNOUT. ALL THESE PHRASES OF TERMS THAT INDICATE STATES OF MAXIMUM CAPACITY. In this blog, I explore what our capacity is, what it means when we reach it and how we might increase our capacity to regain alignment & wellness. Through expansion & growth or contraction & creating new balance, we can bring ourselves back into harmony with our experience.

WHEN WE EMBARK ON A HEALING JOURNEY AND TAKE THE BOLD, BRAVE STEPS TO BEGIN RECOVERY IT CAN FEEL LIKE A CHALLENGE! STEPPING OUT OF A LIFESTYLE WE ONCE CONTROLLED THROUGH AVOIDANCE OR COPING MECHANISMS & INTO THE UNKNOWN CAN BE SCARY. In this blog, I explore how we can use life design concepts to proactively consider what we can control when healing & learn where we can take responsibility for our actions, choices or responses. As we learn to embrace our ability to be accountable for ourselves & our circumstances, healing & lifelong transformation can occur.

PRODUCTIVITY, ECONOMY, POLITICS AND OUR CULTURAL IDENTITY ARE CHANGING AT A DRASTIC RATE. THE UNCERTAINTY WE FACE IS A SIGN OF A COLLECTIVE SHIFT WE ARE ALL DESTINED TO BE PART OF. In this blog, I explore the history of our relationship with work, how slavery, capitalism and our cultural quantification of success have all played a part in the development of collective work addiction. We look at how this has affected us and what might be changing as we recover & evolve together.

CHILDHOOD WOUNDS CAN LEAD US TO SEEK LOVE, APPROVAL & MEANING THROUGH OUR WORK, MONEY OR THE ACCUMULATION OF WEALTH, LEAVING US FEELING STRESSED, UNAPPRECIATED & LONELY AS ADULTS. In this blog, I explore some of the underlying patterns that can be caused when we have unresolved trauma & are conditioned to seek out love through money. We look at why this happens & how to heal the core wounds to find peace & wellness regardless of your wealth.
