HELP! I’m doing a presentation for some delights year 5 & 6s. Tell me what you wanted to know back then! What did you believe that was totally false? What do you wish someone told you?

Finding our own friendship values can sometimes feel like putting a puzzle together 🧩

In the UNIQUE program I have young girls identify what they need in friendships to feel safe… isn’t this amazing! Sometimes we just ‘click’ with someone and often it’s because our values align. This may mean that we don’t click with every piece in the puzzle but together we make up a beautiful picture. (I’m really leaning into this puzzle metaphor 😉🧩)

It all comes down to our choices 👍🏻👎🏻

If you have any questions about this please send them through! I’m suuuuuupeer keen to answer them!

Research states that testosterone and estrogen is at its highest concentration mid-cycle. The peak of these two hormones may cause your mood to be elevated and an increased libido.
If the goal of your cycle is to become pregnant when ovulating it makes sense that your libido is increased! You got to fertilise those eggs right?!
Once I understood this, it made me so much more aware of the way I feel during the month! This knowledge helped me understand me and I feel so much more empowered knowing what’s going on in my body!
Stay tuned for more info about menstruation, hormones and mood!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret…

I was well and truly into my 20’s when I finally learnt what was really going on for me during my cycle.

I had a nursing degree and I still didn’t really understand that our hormones change so much during our cycle that that really effects our mood!

Progesterone and Oestrogen play a huge part in our mood just before menstruation but testosterone, LH and FSH play a role in our mood too!

Stay tuned for more info about menstruation, hormones and mood!

How good right? I wrote a program called UNIQUE. This program has run in 15 high schools and 17 primary schools since 2019. What an incredible privilege it’s been to work with young people across Perth!

UNIQUE is all about empowering young women and girls to overcome that loud societal voice that’s telling them they’re not enough. Through building relationships and targeted conversations, I’ve seen self-esteem and confidence scores raise overall in each group!

I don’t take this lightly. I whole heartedly believe this program works. If you want UNIQUE in your school, let’s start the conversation.

Affirmations are a powerful tool I use with my clients. By saying a personalised positive statement each day can help you to believe it. You may not fully believe right now that you are enough, but by repeating this each day will challenge you to explore that belief.

The truth? You are enough. You are loved and you are worthy just because you are. Start to challenge these unhelpful thoughts… start telling yourself the truth each day.

These affirmation cards were designed by a high school student during the UNIQUE program. It’s so powerful to see the next generation taking hold of these lessons and living them out!

It’s come to my attention that not many people know what nous means! In common English it means ‘common sense, practical intelligence’ but I like the philosophical meaning ‘the mind or intellect’

I’ve made it my psychotherapy business name because I’m using my mind / intellect to help other engage their minds in new ways! To think about things from a different perspective. To rewrite engrained narratives.

Which meaning do you prefer!? 🧠💭
