The Difference Between Privilege and Entitlement

I’ve been sitting with this inquiry for a few years now - watching it show up in conversations, social media and personal experiences.

Writing is the way I process what feels complex or unnamed and helps me find language for what feels true (to me) and, I genuinely hope it can help others see things that might be felt but not named.

In today’s world there is a-lot of talk about power, inequality and healing, and words such as privilege and entitlement often get used and sometimes interchangeably.

But they are not the same.

And understanding the difference matters - especially in conversations about justice, compassion and responsibility.

The Pendulum Of Restriction and How I Found The Middle Way

For so long, my life was ruled by extremes.

The pendulum always swinging violently between restriction and excess.

Between control and chaos.

I lived in a cycle of self denial and punishment believing that the only way to be worthy was to shrink myself - physically, mentally and emotionally.

Restriction felt like discipline. It felt like control. It felt like safety- until it didn’t.

How We Hold Space Matters! A Reflection on Trauma Informed and Nervous System Care when guiding others in healing spaces

As I prepare to bring my new programme The Sovereign Woman into the world, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to really hold a safe space in a grounded and embodied way.

Holding space is not a performance.

It’s not something we learn from a weekend worship and then add it to our instagram bio.

It is life long work and carries with it a deep responsibility and commitment to doing our own inner work before guiding others through theirs.

Who Will Sit In The Front Row?

Consider this: If you could look into the future and see the people sitting in the front row at your funeral -

Who do you think they will be?

Who are the ones who have truly mattered in your life - the ones who have stood by you, loved you and shared in your most meaningful moments?

Now ask yourself; are you valuing and appreciating those people enough right now?

Is This You?

You wake up feeling tired, even after a full night’s sleep. Your body feels different - achy, stiff, unpredictable. The back pain, knee pain, shoulder pain. Maybe it’s perimenopause or menopause, maybe it’s the years of caring for others all catching up with you.

You look in the mirror and wonder who you are now?

What Is Nervous System Care and Why Is It Essential In Today's Busy World?

We live in a world that demands a lot.

Our daily lives and schedules are packed full and we are flooded with so much information. We live in a hustle culture that pushes us to strive, push and chase peak performance in everything that we do.

Our nervous system is the foundation of how we experience life. It regulates our stress, our energy levels, our emotional capacity and our ability to feel safe and connected.

The Rise of Mean Girl Culture - A Silent Epidemic

By nature, I am a deep thinker and a deep feeler. Being neurodivergent and highly sensitive, I often sense things long before I can name them. For years I have felt “icky” around using social media and it has taken me along time to name this as mean girl culture - an undercurrent of social cruelty that is hard to define but is deeply felt by many, especially on social media platforms.

Spiritual Leaders Behaving Badly - It's Not Ok!

There is a growing and deeply troubling pattern showing up in spiritual communities -one that many hesitate to speak about for fear of backlash, gaslighting, or further harm.

But - I will not stay silent because, silence enables abuse.

I write today from a recent personal experience

The Silent Weight Of Expectations

At this time of year, Christmas and holiday season, managing our expectations can be a real struggle for many of us. The challenge of expectations often intensifies as we navigate family commitments and the expectations layered into this time of year. For me personally, understanding expectations and learning how to navigate them, has been a long and confusing journey. At times it feels like untangling a dense web of emotions, assumptions and deeply held (often unexamined) beliefs, to make sense of it all.

Acknowledging and Examining Unconscious Bias

Bias exists in all of us, often unconsciously. Shaped by family, culture and society, bias informs our understanding, actions and decisions, often without our awareness. Recognising and understanding bias is a fundamental part of personal growth and collective healing. When we examine and change our own biases, we are taking a step toward a more inclusive and equitable world.
