9 years of last days and I genuinely don't think this feeling ever gets old. Watching them walk out for the last time… taller, brighter, more themselves than they were in September. 🤍

This year has been a big one. Not just in the classroom, but outside of it too. Two Mental Wellbeing Clubs launched. Workshops delivered. People supported through some of the hardest seasons of their lives. And every single week back in the classroom, doing the job I love most 🥰

There were moments this year where I genuinely didn't know how I was doing all of it. Where the tank felt completely empty. But then I'd walk through that classroom door. And I'd remember exactly why. To my class this year… thank you for teaching me just as much as I taught you 💜

To every teacher, TA and school staff member finishing up today… YOU DID IT!! Rest. Really rest. You have absolutely earned it!!! Here's to the summer ☀️🥂

This is what grey rocking actually sounds like in real life… Not cold. Not dramatic. Just… boring. On purpose 🤷🏻‍♀️

Grey rocking works because narcissistic abuse feeds on reaction… your anger, your tears, your explanations. Take away the reaction and there's nothing left for them to use. It's exhausting to do though, because it goes against every instinct you have to defend yourself, explain yourself, make them understand. And that's exactly why we're talking about it properly tonight at The Mental Wellbeing Club 💗 no contact, grey rocking, and what to do when your nervous system wants to explain your side to someone who was never going to listen anyway. Westhoughton, tonight. If you've been thinking about coming, this is your sign 🫶🏼

I’ll be watching tonight. Nervous. Excited. Probably hiding behind a cushion. 🙃🙃🙃

But I also can’t post about England being in a semi-final without saying this because this is too important to stay quiet about 💔

Research shows domestic abuse incidents rise by 26% when England win or draw and 38% when England lose. Every single match. Win or lose, the risk rises for people already living in dangerous situations at home. Tonight, while most of us are focused on the football, some people will be watching that game with a knot in their stomach that has nothing to do with the result 😩

So enjoy the game. Shout at the TV. Celebrate if we win. But also, check in on people you’re worried about. Know the signs. And know that support is always available 🤍

Share this tonight. It matters more than the score 🙏🏾

Let's clear something up because I see this get misunderstood ALL THE TIME!!!!👀

No contact isn't just blocking their number and hoping for the best (although this is AMAZING!!!). No contact is:
● Not checking their socials at 11pm ‘just to see’
● Not replaying old conversations trying to find the moment it went wrong
● Not asking mutual friends ‘how are they doing?’ like it's casual (it's not casual, we all know it's not casual 🙈)
● Not letting them rent space in your head for free 🙃

Real no contact is nervous system work, not willpower. Your brain got wired to seek information about them because uncertainty reads as danger to your nervous system, and checking felt like safety. That's not you being weak, that's basic neuroscience.

So if you've gone no contact but you're still checking, still spiralling, still Googling their name at 1am… you haven't failed. You're just in the bit nobody warns you about 🤍

This is exactly what we're digging into at The Mental Wellbeing Club this week. No contact, grey rocking and how to actually quiet the spiral (not just the phone). If that's you, come join us Thursday in Westhoughton 💗

I’ve been working SO hard on creating a free guide all about understanding the tactics at play in narcissistic relationships because I truly believe that awareness is power and can really help you on your healing journey. So, who is wanting a copy? 👀🤍

“Because I looked like I was coping.” 💔

That line. That is exactly why this work matters so much to me. So many people suffering in silence because from the outside, everything looks fine. Because they’ve learned to hold it together. Because nobody around them can see what’s really going on. If that’s you, please know that you don’t have to look broken to deserve support. You just have to reach out 🤍

1:1 coaching is available, as well as my weekly Mental Wellbeing Clubs. Message me to find out more 💜

What a week! I run two weekly wellbeing groups across Bolton and this week did not disappoint! 💗

💗 Tuesday: The Mental Wellbeing Club, Harwood | 6:30–8:30pm
This week we explored the stress-resistance loop… why pushing through and just trying to keep going can actually make things so much harder. We also welcomed two new ladies this week which was just the loveliest thing 🥰 It's never too late to join… you can come along to either group whenever you feel ready!

💗 Thursday: Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Group, Westhoughton | 6–8pm
This week was all about people pleasing and the fawn response and the lightbulb moments were just incredible. All the ladies recognised people pleasing showing up in different areas of their lives. Such a powerful session!

Next week we have two more brilliant sessions coming up!
💗 Tuesday: Safety vs reassurance
💗 Thursday: Contact, no contact and emotional pull

Both groups are just £10 per session and are open to anyone who feels they could benefit.

If you'd like to come along or find out more, just drop me a message. I'd love to have you there! 🥰

Also feel free to join my private Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1471777781390505/ 🫶🏼

Somewhereeeee along the way, you were conditioned to be grateful for crumbs. To celebrate the bare minimum. To treat a reply after days of silence as a romantic gesture. To call inconsistency ‘mystery’ and emotional unavailability ‘ independence.’ No. You deserve someone who shows up consistently. Who doesn’t disappear and reappear when it suits them. Who doesn’t keep you in a permanent state of ‘maybe’ while they decide whether you’re worth their effort today.

Your nervous system was trained to accept intermittent reinforcement as love. It wasn’t. It was control. And the fact that you’re starting to see that? That’s growth.

Save this for the next time you’re tempted to reply to a breadcrumb. You deserve the whole loaf. 🫶🏼💗

Breadcrumbing. It’s the random text after weeks of silence. The ‘I miss you’ that leads absolutely nowhere. The just-enough to keep you hanging on but never enough to actually feel secure.

And here’s why it works so well… intermittent reinforcement. Your brain responds more strongly to unpredictable rewards than to consistent ones. It’s the same mechanism that makes gambling addictive. When you don’t know when the next crumb is coming, your nervous system stays on high alert, waiting. Hoping. Checking your phone. That’s not love. That’s a dopamine trap.

You deserve the whole loaf, not the crumbs. And if someone is only showing up when it suits them? That’s not effort. That’s maintenance. 💔
