The Adventure of trying your best

Mental Health Personal 12 February, 2019 by Emmy

Not every child learns the same way. Me? I was a little academic with my nose in a book. My son? He’d rather be out in the mud and playing games, or working out how things work? He’s hands on. He’s active and happy and perfect, but he struggles to concentrate in standardised tests. So …

Never a victim, always a fighter

Mental Health Personal 28 August, 2018 by Emmy

I can’t help but think, as I lie awake at night: it must be wonderful to be illness-free. To be able to function normally, and to the best of your ability. To not be held back by both mental and physical restraints, that seem to turn everything you try and do to shit. It must …

Your SCARS tell YOUR STORY. Love your Stretch Marks, Love your Scars, Love your Wobble and Flab and Fat.

Mental Health Personal 13 January, 2016 by Emmy

(Someone just asked, so yes feel free to share this) Once again, someone said to me today: “Oh, you’re so lucky, you had a kid but you didn’t destroy your stomach like me.” With stretch marks scratched all over our tummies, wobbly pouches, funny belly-buttons and numerous scars – our bodies certainly change a lot …

Mental Health Personal 5 January, 2016 by Emmy
