Happy International Women's Day. What can I say about today's international women's Day in the midst of a pandemic....The feeling of being inaduate comes to mind, being open and honest. As women, mothers, daughters, wives, bosses, employees, and every other hat we wear....We have now been given the title of being a teacher as well to our parents. Why the feeling of inadequate you may ask? Perhaps its because we don't do it half assed, we do it with all of our hearts. But... when you do it with all of your heart, you can't do everything 100%. Every part we give is a percentage, and by the time we have given given given, their is nothing left to give, their is a women who is crying in secrecy, because she feels inadequate, she is crying because she lost her temper again, because her child couldn't sit infront of a screen for 6 hours, and she hears the teacher saying to her child to sit down because the teacher is getting distracted, while her other child is trying to also pay attention but because she is 5 she is doing makeup and playing with her dolls, because, lets face it is hard to focus when you have all these distractions at home, and HOME is supposed to be the safe space for them to retreat to, but now it has become a stressed environment. To all the WOMEN AND MEN who are trying their best, cheers to you, whatever your best may look like. Please remember to have compassion in your hearts, because everyone is trying their best.

On this day called Valentine’s Day, may we be reminded of not only the romantic love but all the love that surrounds us, the love for all things in this life. The love that fills our hearts when we look at children play, when our fur babies greet us at the door, the love that fills your hearts when you hold your new born baby for the first time, when a stranger greets you with a smile. You see love is all around us, whether big or small. Let’s use this day to celebrate ALL love

This year, maybe even more than other years, it is critical we pause and take time to have a real and honest discussion about mental health. The COVI-19 pandemi...c exacerbates an already serious mental-health situation, so it is important we talk openly about it to help remove the stigma so often associated with these topics. According to recent studies about mental health within policing, nearly 30 per cent of Canadian officers are within the clinical diagnostic range for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rates of suicide among police officers are also believed to be disproportionately high. If you do start a conversation today, remember that it doesn't have to end today. #BellLetsTalk #EndTheStigma

Who would you be if you didn't have a title to protect, a job to secure, mouths to feed? Would you be willing to speak your truth? What risks would you take? Doing this takes Bravery, it means facing your fears, speaking when your voice is shaking, with practice and time, those muscles get stronger. Being in your truth, means standing tall, it means to be comfortable with all parts of yourself.... Being in your truth means allowing others to also be in their truth, even if their truth doesn't resemble yours, it means to inquire and find out about others truths and seek knowledge to see how theirs truths came about. when you do this it allows others to do the same. By speaking your truth it allows others to do the same. So today, speak your truth, speak it with passion, speak it with softness, speak from your heart, but most of all speak with your authentic truth. Lead by example and be the fierce leader you were meant to be, shine baby shine

Cheers to rediscovering who you are. when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change~ Dr. Wayne Dyer

You may ask yourself, why should I see this nurse psychotherapist. What type of credentials does she have to practice psychotherapy? That is a great question to ask! Everyone should ask these types of questions regarding any external help they are seeking. You see there are 6 different regulated professionals that can practice psychotherapy within the province of Ontario, and nurses are one of them. I do not have a degree, yes, it’s true. I have learned from some of the b...Continue reading

*Possibly triggering* Before this virus appeared society was "normal" we coasted through life. When the first shutdowns happened, we were flattening the curve, life slowed down. Our health officials and parliamentary figures took OUR physical health into their own hands, as far we know they still are. However during the course of the pandemic other parts of our health have suffered such as vital surgical/medical procedures, mental health, financial and social health. It...Continue reading

Truth and intuition In a world where their is shaming and guilt trips, I'm curious how did you used to tell an authoritative figure that you did something that went against your morals? Having a moment of clarity with my own child, it helped me reflect on my childhood and how intuitively I would read my parents to navigate how I would break the news that I had taken something that didn't belong to me or that I stole something. ... My own feelings of quilt and clarity would pop up, and then to fess up, I personally didn't verbally tell my parents for the fear of the consequences. So what I did was write them a note or a letter, because the initial reaction, was to much for my little self to handle, yet intuitively I knew how to clear my conscience without the knee jerk reaction. I am curious if we took the time as parents, humanity, leadership, politicians to sit down and give thanks for the courage it takes to be honest and own that you behaved against your own code of moral conduct, and sat down together and looked at different possibilities fo consequences if we would see a shift in being open, honest, transparent humble human beings? Some may read this and think I don't believe in consequences, no that is not true, however what I am saying is; that we all have a moral compass/intuition, if someone sat down with us and listened with their hearts and allowed us to be open and honest without being shamed, humiliated, or internalized it as we aren't loveable, and allowed the person to come up with some appropriate consequences together that it may be enough to shift the paradigm. Don't we carry enough guilt and shame when we do something against our own code of morality, that it doesn't matter what anyone else adds it can't make you feel any worst then you could possibly feel? So picture yourself as a child, if you went to tell the truth, and were yelled at and sent to your room and no one talked to you about it, would that possibly inhibit you to be honest and own "you're unpretty" behaviours? if it happened as a child, odds are those people still aren't being open and honest about those behaviours because those fears continue to inhibit them as a grown adult. Lets embrace truth telling with compassion, and celebration, because it takes a brave soul to do that these days
