Personal narrative as an invitation to engage with life.

A 'great little' place to come and read about one woman's 'insights' into anything and everything to do with people, behaviours, wellbeing, parenting, self-care and midlife. A place to relax, feel heard and understood and laugh often. The perfect tonic 🧡

A great collection of musings about parenting, mental well-being, modern society, and culture from a lovely person :)
