My Everest…what is my Everest? As I reflect upon this question I feel twinges of anxiety & excitement at the thought of beginning a journey to which I might conquer this massive obstacle within my minds eye. For me my Everest symbolizes so much. It is the piece of baggage that I have yet to unpack. It excites me to think that once I truly begin this journey that I will overcome & become an even better version of myself. And at the same time I am filled with a vast amount of a

It’s OK to be bitter. I don’t want you to be bitter but I want you to know if you are it’s OK and to some degree- super healthy. Sometimes things happen that will leave a sour taste in our mouth and that’s OK. It’s OK to be angry, hurt or even jealous. These emotions are natural, normal and healthy. What’s hurts you is to stay that way. Nobody benefits from that and it doesn’t affect the other person or change things but it will gradually eat away at you. It’s toxic and leads

The September 2026 Harvest Moon invites a closer look at intuition, relationships and the moments we begin to doubt what we feel.

Sometimes the universe doesn’t send you a dramatic sign. Sometimes it simply makes you uncomfortable enough to realise that something needs to change. The New Moon in Virgo arrives in September 2026 with an energy that is less about dreaming and more about doing. It asks you to look honestly at your life, your relationships, your habits and the things you continue to tolerate. What is actually working? What are you holding onto because it is familiar? And what have you known

One day, you’re talking all the time. You’re sending each other messages, sharing the ridiculous details of your day, making plans, laughing about things nobody else would understand. Then something changes. The replies get shorter. Plans stop happening. Messages sit unanswered. And eventually, silence. You’ve been ghosted. We usually talk about ghosting when it comes to dating, but losing a friendship this way can hurt just as much. Sometimes more. Because with a friendship,

Let’s not sugarcoat it, if you’re here you’ve probably had that sinking "oh no, not again" feeling at least once. Maybe more than once. You meet someone, things spark, it feels exciting and intense and full of potential… and then, well, reality shows up like an uninvited guest at a dinner party. And suddenly you’re stuck in another messy, confusing, or downright painful relationship, wondering, "How did I not see this coming?" First off, you’re not alone. Not even close. Peop

Being authentic is hard. It’s so much more than a nice quote and magically believing in yourself. It’s f---ing hard. Some days are better than others, but some are a real struggle. I’m trying to be my best self, be true to who I am, and become a better person. But sometimes, it’s a real challenge, and I want to give up. And I am not alone in that struggle. You wouldn’t think that just being yourself would be so difficult. It should be the most natural thing in the world.

Sometimes the feelings we think we have dealt with haven’t disappeared. They have simply gone quiet. They sit beneath the surface while life continues around us. We work, build relationships, take care of responsibilities and convince ourselves that we have moved forward. Then something happens — a conversation, a memory, a change in circumstances or even a seemingly insignificant moment — and suddenly an old emotion rises again. The symbolism of August’s Sturgeon Moon offers

I’ve talked a lot about boundaries, how actions speak louder than words, and how we can teach people how to treat us and also what to expect from us. I’ve talked about low self-esteem and how we choose partners that reflect the things that we believe about ourselves, and I hope I’ve given you umpteen reasons why chasing men that don’t love, trust, care, or respect you are a really bad idea. As always, we have to take the focus of them and bring it back to us, and so it’s impo

Struggling with disappointment? Explore how expectations shape our emotions and learn how to acknowledge disappointment, change your perspective and move forward.

We all have off days. It’s part of being human. But when those days stretch into weeks, or even months, it can start to feel like something deeper is going on. You may notice you’re withdrawing from people you love, struggling to focus, or finding less joy in the things that once lit you up. Maybe you’re tired all the time, quick to anger, or just feel… flat. If this sounds familiar, it could be a sign that your low mood is more than just a passing phase. And importantly: you

There isn’t a person among us who hasn’t experienced disappointment. Sometimes it appears in relatively small ways: a birthday that didn’t feel as special as you hoped, plans that fell through, or someone who promised to call but never did. Other times, disappointment cuts much deeper. You don’t get into the university or programme you worked towards. You miss out on the job you desperately wanted. A relationship doesn’t become what you thought it would. Someone you trusted l
