25.01.2022 Trying to explain global pandemics to anyone can be a tad overwhelming , so how can we encourage calm and empowerment for our littlies in the face of COVID-19?! Sophies Stories has put together a gorgeous narrative: Stay Home Superheroes. Look it up on YouTube and share with your loved ones. It is beautiful. Stay safe lovelies This version is www.douglasvalley.wigan.sch.uk//stay-at-home-superheroes-/

24.01.2022 This is your Wednesday reminder that you are exactly where you are supposed to be; developing skills and insights and character that is going to scaffold you to shine! No one else has the capacity to offer what you have. Lets start living like we are totally in our purpose (because guess what, our purpose is not a one day thing it is an every day thing, and youve totally got this! )

24.01.2022 PSA: Who knew there are four phases to our monthly cycle ladies?? And why the hell weren’t we taught about this sooner!! Time to become Period Queens thanks to @lucyspeaches Hopefully you are all hip with this and I am just late to the party! But if not, here is a lil summary to get you all started: Our cycle starts Day 1, in WINTER with the start of our period. Our hormones are flat-lining, we are feeling bloated and meh and basically want to eat all the chocolate, yes? ...Or just me Now is the time for nurturing ourselves, resting, reflecting and dreaming big! Time taken to rest now will be paid back with so much more energy for the rest of the month, trust me it’ll be worth it! You are allowed to take the time you need We then spring forth into SPRING with rising Oestrogen levels and a push from Testosterone we are all GO! Feeling stronger and faster and energised we... make lists, eat organic muesli, go to the gym, buy kale #aspirationalveggies, smash all the projects, coordinate all the events, re-tidy the house and #WomanUp all over the place!! Think Power, Purpose, Energy, Action! (For those of us with a longer cycle, this is where we get extra time to Do even more things in our extended Spring!) Then SUMMER blooms and hun now is our time to SHINE!!! We have an abundance of hormones flowing as we hatch a golden egg of goodness (ahem, ovulate) and we are at peak fabulousness!!! SO MUCH time and energy and love to give, and how could we not share our amazingness with everyone we come across!!! Now is the time for Connecting with all your loved ones, having parties in the sunshine, and going that little ‘extra’ to make things even more special for everyone you come across But then it’s AUTUMN, and as your Oestrogen and Progesterone levels start plummeting you start turning inwards to conserve the energy you have left. You get focused knowing you only have so many moments before your energy will flatline again. Now is the time for focusing in, creating, integrating new learnings, and being the receiver rather than the giver for once! Be gentle with yourself. You are not failing just because you don’t have the drive you had a week ago. Now is the perfect time to practice saying no and to ask for help instead. Postpone any non-essential gatherings (re-book for two weeks time when you will be super keen!! ) Be aware your hormonal shifts in this phase enhance your capacity to be super critical... so use the anger and insights carefully! Tread gently because soon it will be time to rest again... For more info check out Lucy Peach’s new book ‘Period Queen’ to start working with your body and it’s natural super powers rather than trying to fight against it! Feel free to check out her intro Ted Talk below, and PM me if you’d like a summary. Much love Ps. Is this new news for anyone else?!??

24.01.2022 Welcome to another week lovelies! What makes your soul happy? That deep sense of satisfying enrichment? How can you put more of it into your week?? Is there anything stopping you? What might you gain if you lean in and make it happen? Me? I am super excited to go dance around like crazy in the dark for the first time in months! #feedyoursoul #livebydesignnotdefault

23.01.2022 Monday reminder for you... curtesy of @laurajaneillustrations Yes the end of the year is approaching and everyone is tired. But there you are, still attempting the things, adulting all over the place, and even making little changes! One step at a time, keep it manageable, rest, try again... #youvegotthis #bringon2021

21.01.2022 Hi lovelies, I have been thinking about how can I set myself up to shine during this challenging and uncertain time, and have come up with the following acronym you might find helpful? So lets stay at home and grow in RADIANCE! #shinethroughpsych #stayhome #growingradiance

21.01.2022 Yes THIS!! Thank you to Amy at The Burnout Project for sharing this fabulous image (& I do love myself a good pie graph! ) We cannot continually expend energy out without also taking time to bring energy back in.... we cannot solely exhale without the inhale, that is not how we are created. Hope you are able to take some time out this weekend to breathe in and rest. #theburnoutproject #shinethroughpsych #breathe

20.01.2022 Absolutely!! Happy International Womens Day to all the incredible women we know and love!!! Remember you are far stronger than you give yourself credit for... now go on, and continue changing the world PS. Who is your biggest inspiration and how can you build them up today??

19.01.2022 Progress not Perfection! How true is this!! Lets not set impossible ideals for ourselves (& others) but rather focus on making meaningful lil changes on the regular, that help shape our lives and those around us! Thanks to #vineapparel for this one

17.01.2022 Hands up all the other recovering perfectionists!! You are more than enough already What can you let go of to practice good enough today??

17.01.2022 Hey there, you are doing so great! I know this time of year can be soooo exhausting and a tad overwhelming (this year particularly!! Amirite?! ) There are so many expectations and it can feel like you never have enough time to do all the things you feel you ‘should’ be doing... Just take a moment for you. Give yourself permission to STOP. Breathe! Notice the world around you. Listen in to yourself. What do YOU need?? Water? Toilet? Have you eaten? Do you need to take 5 ...and rest?? Do those things. Right now. If someone called you in this moment you would totally give them 20 minutes, how about giving yourself those minutes and reconnecting with you and your needs. Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away... it just depletes us so we have less energy to do the next thing. If we do this hundreds of times a day/week/year we slowly loose ourself and drain our energy for life. And that is no good for anyone!! So please give yourself some moments be gentle with yourself (& everyone else) this festive season! The more you can rest and connect with yourself this season, the brighter you will shine in 2021 (I promise!) Big thank you to @colormehappii for this truly gorgeous image! Ps. If stopping makes you realise you are so overwhelmed that some serious supports are needed ASAP... Firstly, well done for acknowledging this! That is so tough! Secondly, you can do hard things and you will get through this... Can you think of one person you could call and tell them that you need some support right now? Who is a safe person for you? Call and make a doctors appointment. If needed you can call Lifeline 131114 or Headspace on 1800 650 890 any time. You do not need to be alone in this. Much love and do stay safe, Dr Suse

16.01.2022 What is grounded confidence and why does it matter?!? I have been using Brené’s gorgeous term for ages, loving the idea of being so grounded in that natural confidence in yourself that you don’t need to be constantly hustling for your worth from others... no need for all those ‘shoulds’ or for trying to constantly prove yourself. But how do we actually do this? What are the attributes of grounded confidence and can we learn them?!? ... After much consideration of Brené’s work I believe Grounded Confidence rests in authenticity, living out your values, knowing yourself well enough to be present and connected (to yourself and others), and to remain curious and willing to sit with the hard stuff. And the best bit, all these elements can be learnt and developed with patience, empathy and perseverance. What is one little step you could take to develop your sense of confidence in you?? PS. Do let me know if I have missed any key points, always happy for further insights! PPS. For more like this feel free to follow shinethroughpsych on Instagram Cheers, Suse

16.01.2022 So how abouts we re-write the script and see failure as a necessary element of growth? #failureispartofsuccess #becourageous #growalittle #brenèbrown

15.01.2022 Let yourself just be... You can still grow in the wild of changing things If that is not an ode to Tuesday I dont know what is

13.01.2022 Thank you Bren Brown for this beauty... how many of us dedicate our lives to supporting others but find it so hard to accept help for ourselves?? Being vulnerable and saying actually I need help is not weakness, it is courage, it is bravery and it is the doorway to greater support, growth and personal development. How much value and respect do we hold for those who entrust us with their fears and failings? This also works in reverse! Trusted people wont judge you as weak they will respect your courage in being real. Allow yourself to be human. Allow yourself to stop, to connect, and to trust others to come to your aid... and you may just be surprised at what can flourish.

12.01.2022 Your Tuesday reminder that you are exactly where you’re supposed to be! Even when it’s not very fun or comfortable, you are here, learning what you need to learn in this season to prepare you for the next Big thanks to @wonder_doodles for this image.

11.01.2022 You have got this lovelies!! Yes there will be tough times. Yes you will get through them. Yes you can rest or take a nap as needed along the way Big shout-out to Amy @confetti_rebels for this gorgeous design! #strongerthanthestruggle #shinethroughpsych

10.01.2022 As another round of cancellations and closures set in, a brief reminder to think creatively and actively choose to pursue joy, connection and purpose! Stay well lovelies xx

10.01.2022 Thanks @havilahcunnington for this gorgeous reminder. Becoming clear on your values and purpose gives you capacity to develop grounded confidence in your ability to make decisions that propel you forwards in your purpose. Learn to differentiate what is not for you and what is a definite YES!!! (Even, or especially, when the yes is hard or scary! You. Have. Got. This.) PS. If you want support in finding or redefining your values and purpose feel free to contact @shinethroughpsych

10.01.2022 Have to share these gorgeous mini sunflowers from my garden!! What simple thing can you delight in or do for yourself today??

10.01.2022 Hey lovelies, have been reflecting on Lisa Dions Four Threats to the Brain and how it directly relates to what we are experiencing at the moment! Obviously COVID-19 has potential to pose a very real threat to our and our loved ones physical well-being. And most of us have never experienced a global pandemic before, so we are sitting with so many unknowns... how long will this last for? Will we be okay? Are the schools going to be on-line for all Term 2... and so on! I don...t know about you, but now everything is online and I have been feeling exhausted by all the Zoom meetings!! It turns out meeting on-line can contribute to a dissonance between your brains experience of feeling connected and your body experiencing they are not there! This incongruence is tiring for the mind as its trying to connect two jigsaw puzzle pieces that dont quite connect! (I wont comment on all the incongruence in the messaging provided by our Government, but needless to say, probably not so helpful!) Last but not least, the Shoulds that seem to be lathered on from every direction (Im looking at you Instagram!)... I should be working, home-schooling, prioritising my health and mental well-being, coping, checking in on the vulnerable, feeding everyone healthy meals and so on and so forth. Lets just accept at this point, that with all four Threats to the Brain firing, we are doing very well to be up and engaging with the world as much as we are. Lets focus on mostly good enough, with latherings of compassion and nurturance, control what you can, and most of all lets just take each moment as it comes. Lets just take it back to basics and focus on simple connection to ourselves, our loved ones, and our environment. Breathe deep, youve got this

10.01.2022 What a gorgeous reminder... to stand strong in your own authenticity xxx PS. If you are keen for other lil pick-me-ups and reminders of your strength, capacity and the importance of balance... feel free to follow ShineThroughPsych on Instagram

09.01.2022 Hope today you can find at least one thing that makes you feel good, appreciated and alive! Remember only you get to determine your worth! (Ps. dont forget people with the best relationships arent the ones splashing them all over social media ) #valentinesday2020 #ihavegoodtaste #selflove

09.01.2022 Your words become their inner dialogue and your actions teach them to feel... A big shout out to all the mums doing the best they can to raise up the next generation. You are brave. You are strong. You are kind. You are enough. Thank you to Yesenia Sanchez for the image.

08.01.2022 Celebrating the oldest continuing living culture this NAIDOC week We acknowledge how Aboriginal peoples have over many thousand years cared for each other, their land, and raised their children to be safe and strong. As beautifully exemplified in this gorgeous photo of inter-generational women of strength by @sashamortimorephotography Friday I had the absolute pleasure of travelling to melukerdee country in lutruwita’s south east to join in a smoking ceremony. Such be...autiful country and peoples. Let’s continue to work towards respect and reverence for our first peoples. Much love, Suse

08.01.2022 As many of us prepare to re-enter our busy world fuelled by left-brain dominant efficiencies, lets take a moment to consider the why. To consider the what if. To re-ground ourselves back into this moment. Mary Olivers beautiful poem encourages us to connect back with nature, ourselves, and this moment. To nestle back into our right-brain where we can notice uniqueness, individual senses, emotions and relationships that get lost when the left-brain takes over. Where we can feel fully and re-ignite a sense of lightness that lets us shine. How can you reconnect with yourself and nature today? Each little practice of bringing your awareness home will allow you to feel more and more alive... its worth taking those few moments

07.01.2022 So much has changed since this time last year... @morganharpernichols thank you for this beautiful and timely reminder to lean into the vulnerability and courage inherent in growth, whilst also taking time to stop and reflect on how far you have come!

07.01.2022 I dont know who needs to hear this, but just do it... badly! For all of us overcompensating perfectionists here is a neat way to re-train our brains to lean into the vulnerability and discomfort of learning any new skill ever! Just do it... badly! And once you start, youll probably find it wasnt nearly as hard or scary as you first thought, and you might even start to make some progress But no one starts out as an expert ever! Just saying... Lotsa love, Suse #justdoit #yougotthis #shinethroughpsychology

07.01.2022 One thing I have learnt is fact is almost always stranger than fiction, and real is definitely more interesting than perfect!!! Am I right??

06.01.2022 In times of challenge, how do we build trust... not only with others but also with ourselves?! I keep coming back to Brenes BRAVING acronym to foster our courage to connect with clarity, vulnerability, and integrity. Much love and lets keep being brave and awkward! #bravingthewilderness #brenebrown

06.01.2022 For all of you out there feeling like you might just be getting to the end of your patience... remember it is totally normal to get pushed out of your window of tolerance by the cumulative impact of stressors, not just in the environment around us as we deal with competing demands of work, family, society and so forth, but also our internal demands, expectations and shoulds. Whether it pushes you to shut down or amp up in your reaction, use this post as a little reminder ...that a) this is a normal response to stressful times, b) you cant be all things at all times, c) what do you need in this moment, and d) what little thing can you do to meet that need? Breathe, have a cuppa, put on some music, message a friend, go outside, grab some quiet in the bathroom... whatever works! Ruptures happen. Forgive yourself. Re-find present. Re-connect with yourself and your loved ones. Youve got this xx #overwhelmed #breathe #yougotthis See more

05.01.2022 There is power in saying NO. There is power in stepping back; in not taking every opportunity that comes your way; in choosing to rest before you burn out; in choosing to isolate before you get sick... Sometimes our greatest power comes in omission, in what we consciously choose to forgo or let go of. Rest is not a punishment, you will not miss out, there will be plenty of time later. We need to think bigger than ourselves in this moment. Use the space between to reinvest in you, in peace, in connecting with loved ones and realigning yourself with your values. Stay grounded, calm and present. Youve got this. #stepbacktostepup #selfcare #covid_19 #shinethroughpsych

05.01.2022 Shine Theory - what a name!?!! And what a concept!!! Let’s work to build each other up, to invest in encouraging each other to be our best selves. To see others we admire not as competition but as potential collaborators. To work to uplift and empower so we can shine all the brighter together Who can you connect with, uplift or encourage this weekend? I am looking forward to seeing all these lovely ladies and stepping out to do something a bit different... karaoke!... (The secret here is enthusiasm over accuracy, right?!?? ) #shinetheory #shinethroughpsych #womensupportingwomen #togetherwearestronger

04.01.2022 Happy weekend lovelies!!! Who needs shallow living when you can deep dive into all the things that make you feel most alive... for me that is great friends, real conversation, good food and a little bit of frivolity for fun!! What makes you feel most alive?? Thanks to my gorgeous sis for letting me flashback to that all-you-could-drink Disney brunch... felt it summed up the sentiment perfectly

02.01.2022 This is one of my favourite sayings, big thanks to my sister Mez for sharing her wisdom

02.01.2022 Hi all, been considering the concept of Spheres of Control. Reflecting on letting go and a level of acceptance for that we cant control, influencing who and what we can influence - workmates/family/friends, and taking control of ourselves and our actions (hopefully) with a sense of calm presence (in theory at least!) Who or what are you able to influence in this time of challenge??

02.01.2022 May this be a reminder for you today that you are allowed to do things differently! Encouraged even!! Dont let the shoulds overpower that voice inside that says what if. What if... I am brave, I do it this way, I say no, I say yes... what then?! Most likely, the world keeps spinning but YOUR world got a little bit bigger, brighter, and more alive... and that might well be worth the risk Thanks Asjaboros at Society6 for the gorgeous image What would you like to give yourself permission to do differently today??

02.01.2022 How true is this? There is no care without first having compassion, for ourselves or others! Thank you to my gorgeous colleague Anabel for this beautiful quote

01.01.2022 Thank you Brené Brown for this beauty... how many of us dedicate our lives to supporting others but find it so hard to accept help for ourselves?? Being vulnerable and saying actually I need help is not weakness, it is courage, it is bravery and it is the doorway to greater support, growth and personal development. How much value and respect do we hold for those who entrust us with their fears and failings? This also works in reverse! Trusted people wont judge you as weak they will respect your courage in being real. Allow yourself to be human. Allow yourself to stop, to connect, and to trust others to come to your aid... and you may just be surprised at what can flourish.

01.01.2022 Hi lovelies, I have been thinking a bit about failure lately (so fun, right?!) and it seems there are two types of people in the world: those who love feedback as they get to learn and grow from it, and those who find feedback a personal attack that basically says Im not good enough followed by a shame spiral! Sound familiar?? I have unfortunately been the second option! Must make everything perfect, because if not then it somehow shows Im worthless. Which in hindsight is... rather ridiculous as everyone has to learn somewhere, but our brains are good at making up stories (trying to protect us from getting hurt)! So what if we could train our brain to be like the first group, who are able to see failure as simply an opportunity to reflect, to reorient to our values and goals. To feel comfortable in the discomfort of leaning in and learning from the feedback. Then mdears, then you will GROW!

01.01.2022 You are valuable You are enough #albionfit thanks for the reminder

01.01.2022 The art of letting go in the wild of the unknown to surrender to the wild of your deepest known. Thank you #morganharpernichols for the reminder to let go and listen deep. What can you let go of today that is no longer for you? What is your heart yearning for instead??

01.01.2022 YOU ARE STRONGer than the struggle... what is it that motivates you to keep going? What are you learning about YOU during this struggle? How is it shaping and preparing you for what is to come... No experiences are wasted, lets lean in and learn from them to shape our future #wecandohardthings #strongerthanthestruggle Image by Sherry Rubin
