Black Sheep to Sparkly Unicorn: How Your Family Created the Persona You’re Now Breaking Free From

You were never the black sheep. You were the sparkly unicorn your family didn’t know what to do with. This week I’m unpacking where that black sheep persona actually comes from; the rejection, the “you’re too much,” the constant feeling of not belonging. And why it was never really you, just a rulebook you were handed that was never built for you in the first place. I talk about what it actually takes to let go of that old persona and step into who you were always meant to be, plus a simple way to start giving yourself the validation you’ve been waiting on from everyone else.

Why Your Boundaries Keep Failing: Rules of Engagement, Access & Tolerance Explained (Neurodivergent + Trauma Perspective)

Ever walked away from a conversation wondering why the hell you said all that? Or felt that 3am replay loop kick in, picking apart every word? This week I’m unpacking what actually shapes our boundaries: your rules of engagement, access and tolerance; and why these get distorted fast, when you’re neurodivergent or carrying trauma. I talk about the baseline you’re still operating from without realising it, and share two tools for handing emotional responsibility back to where it belongs. This is the work that boundary scripts always skip.

Why just boundary scripts don't work & how to really make your boundaries stick

You've downloaded all the scripts to deliver your boundaries, but then you watched yourself circling back into the same dysfunction you clawed your way out of. In this week's episode we talk about the realities of setting boundaries within dysfunctional dynamics and what it takes to stay the path when obsessive thoughts hit. I share insider tips on how I created my boundary aftercare action plan and built a robust team of support to help me stay the path, after going no contact with my mother. You'll walk away from this episode with tools of your own and a way to start building your boundary aftercare plan. You can now join the waitlist for my upcoming workbook You Deserve a Peaceful Life, Sparkly Unicorn and empower yourself with boundaries that stick.

From the Vault: Holding Space for Loved Ones | Why Survivors Make the Best Healers

This week I found 2 voice memos from when I was plucking up the courage to start a podcast back in 2023. It was wild finding these and how relevant they are to what I'm sharing now. I talk about how to listen to your loved one's trauma story: the do's and don'ts when responding to them. The other voice memo is how trauma survivors make some of the best healers and how our lived experience brings a new level of understanding and ability to hold space differently.
