A Little bit of Pink

A simple splash of pink on a school coat opens up a reflection on inherited stereotypes, changing attitudes and seeing one another with compassion.

Beyond the make up bag

A look at the “concealers” we all use — makeup, humour, alcohol, perfectionism — and how they protect us from the parts of ourselves we fear others will notice.

The Quiet knowledge of Age ( Letters)

A gentle reflection on the carers group at Church House in Hitchin, where lived wisdom, quiet compassion, and intergenerational acceptance create a rare kind of safety — and where a trans person finds genuine welcome in the most ordinary, grace‑filled moments.

A prayer calling ?

In this episode I talk about the quiet feeling that I might be called to start a gentle prayer group. I share the mix of excitement and fear inside me, my long history of doubting myself, and my longing for small opportunities to pray for others. I explore the psychology behind self doubt, reflect on what the Bible says about fragile beginnings, and talk honestly about waiting for God to open the right door.

The Other Text

A brief reflection on the texts that rush us and the text that steadies us — and what our reactions to both reveal about our longing to be spoken to in deeper ways.
