thanks for the tender insight into your life as a mother, which i feel really touched by. touched because i recognise my own felt experience in your experience, despite the fact i'm not a mother myself! it helped me to see the impact of the roles life gives us (or that we take on) and the expectations that go with them (or that we think go with them!), whatever the roles and expectations might be.

funnily enough, i realised today, just before reading your newsletter, that the expectations i think others have of me are the main factor in the various stresses i feel on a daily basis. i'm not sure yet how to deal with them differently, but identifying them for what they are is already an important first step! i'm curious to see what emerges :)

thank you for sharing your thoughts with such honesty 💗 you feel like a fellow traveller as i explore how to live life as my true self (not my stressed self!), and it feels really nice xx

Reading Glitter and Biscuits is now a favourite part of my weekend. Coffee in one hand, phone in the other, ready to read and reflect on your writing - bliss and biscuits xx
