About Me:
Hi, I’m Helen. I know about divorce and separation firsthand. Full disclosure: I’m not a psychologist or trained therapist. But I’ve talked to plenty of both and I can tell you while very, very helpful, they could never take my walk for me, and they told me so. It’s something you go through alone. Even if you have friends and the internet, no one experiences it for you…kinda like birth and death. Well, not quite that stark, but you are the star of your own experience here.
In these posts, I try to make sense of some of the things I’ve gone through. And what’s helped me along the way. What I’ve found missing in a lot of the discussion around self-love and self-care is Self-Nurturing. Self-nurturing is the kind, quite (hopefully) voice in your head that tells you you’re worth taking time out to take yourself for a walk in nature (e.g., pet a dog, relax and listen to music, you know…self-care) and that you are worthy of self-love. Without self-nurturing, you are just checking boxes on a list and giving a half-hearted attempt at self-love. In these posts, I talk about all of it bundled together with an emphasis on making sure to fit the self-nurturing voice in between the thoughts and the actions.
