Moving abroad can look like the dream from the outside. The sunshine. The slower pace. The outdoor living. The food. The lovely idea that life will somehow feel different. And sometimes it really is wonderful.

But there can also be days when you miss familiar faces, struggle with the language, feel a bit lost or wonder why settling into your dream life is harder than you expected.

Both things can be true...
You can love living in Spain and still miss home.
You can be grateful for your life and still find parts of it difficult.
You don’t have to pretend everything is fabulous just because you chose this life.

For those of you living abroad, what has surprised you most about the experience?

You can spend an evening sitting next to someone you love and still feel incredibly lonely.

You can talk about the shopping, the weather, what's for dinner, what needs doing tomorrow, and never quite get around to talking about YOU.

Things like what's worrying you. What's making you happy or unhappy. What you've been thinking about lately. What you wish you could say, if only you knew how to simply start. And sometimes, that's the hardest kind of loneliness to explain, because from the outside, everything looks fine.

It's not always about needing more time together. Sometimes it's about wanting to feel that you're really 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 each other when you're together. There's a difference.

Today's affirmation is a simple one, but it can take a surprising amount of courage to actually believe it...

𝐈'𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝.

About what I want.
About what I'm prepared to accept.
About the direction my life is taking.

Changing your mind doesn't automatically mean you've got it wrong. Sometimes it means you've learned something, grown a little, or finally admitted what you REALLY want.

You're allowed to change your mind. Even if other people don't understand why.

Can we talk about the pressure to have your life all figured out?

As if there comes a point where you're supposed to know exactly who you are, what you want, where you're going and how to handle everything life throws at you.

And if you're still changing your mind, questioning things or wondering whether there's more to life than the routine you've settled into...you must be doing something wrong.

Honestly? What a complete load of rubbish.

We're allowed to change. We're allowed to want something different. And we're allowed to admit that the life we once wanted doesn't necessarily fit the person we've become.

You don't have to wait until everything makes sense to start making changes.

Living in Spain has taught me that the word "mañana" can be both reassuring and mildly terrifying! 😂

Sometimes things happen quickly. Sometimes they don't. And sometimes you find yourself wondering whether the thing you were told would happen tomorrow means tomorrow tomorrow...or some mysterious point in the future!

I'm learning to go with the flow. Some days better than others!

When did having a day off become something we have to justify?

I sometimes think we've become so used to being busy that sitting down can make us feel guilty. As though we're somehow falling behind or becoming lazy if we're not doing something useful.

But life isn't a competition to see who can get the most done. There are no medals for being the busiest! So, give yourself permission to put the to-do list aside for a while and remember you don't have to earn every moment of peace.

What would you do with a completely obligation-free afternoon?

Any opportunity I get, you'll find me in the garden. It's my happy place 🌿 There's just something about being outside, pottering around with the plants and enjoying a bit of sunshine that makes me feel good.

Shirley ❤️
Your mindset matters...And so do you.

22/10/2026

One of the loneliest places to be is in a relationship where you don’t feel you can say what you really think.

You bite your tongue to keep the peace.
You tell yourself it’s not worth the argument.
You minimise what hurts because you don’t want to be seen as difficult.

And little by little, you can end up feeling as though there’s no room for you in your own relationship. That's a very lonely and frustrating place to be.

A healthy relationship doesn’t mean agreeing on everything. It means being able to disagree without fear, punishment or being made to feel that your feelings are ridiculous. It means working as a team. You deserve to be heard, even when the other person sees things differently.

Have you ever found yourself keeping quiet just to avoid an argument?

Shirley ❤️
Because healthy relationships start with you.

21/10/2026

Here's a question worth asking yourself about any close relationship...

Can we have a difficult conversation and still feel that we're on the same side?

Because disagreements are inevitable. You're two different people afterall.

The real trouble stats when every disagreement becomes a battle to win, when one person has to be right, or when being honest comes at a cost.

You don't need a relationship without conflict. You need one where conflict doesn't make you feel that the relationship itself is under threat.

That's a very different thing.

There’s a lot to be said for getting to an age where you stop making everything so damn complicated!

You don’t have to attend every invitation. You don’t have to like everyone. You don’t have to say yes just because someone might be disappointed if you say no. And you certainly don’t have to turn every decision into a committee meeting in your own head.

Sometimes, you can simply decide what works for you and confidently get on with your day.

What’s something you’ve stopped worrying about as you’ve got older?

Shirley ❤️
Just keeping it real

20/10/2026

You can love someone deeply and still reach the point where you think "I can't keep doing this."

You can be committed to a relationship and still admit that something isn't working.

You can understand why someone behaves the way they do without having to accept the impact it has on you.

Love doesn't mean pretending everything is fine. And being understanding doesn't mean putting your own needs at the bottom of the pile every single time.

Healthy relationships need honesty, effort, transparency and two people who are prepared to look at their part in things. Not one person doing all the emotional heavy lifting, while the other carries on regardless.

A relationship is a partnership. It should feel like one - shared, honest and safe enough for both people to matter. You are allowed to love someone and still choose not to lose yourself. You are allowed to care deeply and still say "this is hurting me. Something has to change."

No healthy relationship is conflict-free. They're relationships where you can have the difficult conversations, be honest about how you feel, and still be accepted for who you are.

Shirley ❤️
Because healthy relationships start with you.
