The Opinionated Woman

It’s who I am. Who I’ve always been. I’m the person who people come to when they want an opinion, advice, an outside perspective on something. I’m the one who has something to say. I’m the one who has been hiding, holding back and keeping my mouth shut. I’m sorry. …

Be a distraction.

Be a distraction. There’s already enough going on that I don’t want to think about. I’m already aware, I don’t need a reminder. Awareness is a beautiful thing. It means I’m open to knowing. I’m open to change. I don’t need to sit here and think about it. I don’t need to sit…

You have to get naked before you can re-dress.

You have to get naked before you can re-dress. Change is uncomfortable. Therapy would never have helped me on its own. Unfortunately, it’s something I hear and see regularly… people go to therapy, they sit in the sessions, they come out and feel the same, or sometimes worse. I’m not knocking therapy, therapy is a great way to dig in and find…

Things we do to hurt ourselves…

It’s a funny thing is self-harm, it shows up in so many ways… and they’re not always obvious We eat beyond our appetite and overindulge in foods we don’t particularly want or enjoy. We sit still for too long and choose not to exercise or take care of our physical…

To the guy who said it wouldn’t be worth it to rape me because I’m too fat and ugly… thank you. My work here is done.

At 12, I was called a cock-teasing whore by a guy in his 30s on the street because I refused to go back to his place. At 14, a boy in class would grab at my boobs whenever he was within reach At 17, I started being propositioned by men…

Reasons I could never be a therapist;

1 — I’m too blunt. 2 — I can’t listen to bullshit and not say something. 3 — I do feel bad and let my empathy get involved. 4 — I interject and say what I see. 5 — I don’t hold back. 6 — I get angry on your behalf. 7 — I can’t hide…

How a question on a quiz show led to me doubting myself for the next 25 years

“In 1981 Dead Ringer For Love, was a duet by Meat Loaf and which female artist?” (or words to that effect) I grew up listening to Meat Loaf. Bat Out Of Hell was the album my mum played through the window when I was a baby and got woken…

Men get to be leaders. Women get to be aspirational. Whatever the fuck that means.

Men get to be leaders. Women get to be aspirational. Whatever the fuck that means. I hate the idea of influencer marketing, I hate that there’s some dumb idea that to be recognised as good at what we do we have to parade ourselves as something “aspirational.” I don’t wanna be seen as “aspirational.” …

We attract more of what we are ✨

We attract more of what we are ✨ It’s something we’re told by coaches all damn day long. They use it as the one size fits all explanation for how everything is… all the things we have in our lives. You’re broke? “It’s because you’re focusing on being broke” You’re unhealthy? “It’s because you’re lazy” You’re in a…

Anger hides pain

Think about the times when you’re angry. Think about what happens in the moments before anger takes over. Think about what that triggers for you. When someone cuts you up on the motorway, and you call them an asshole, you’re not angry because they cut you up. …
