Hello everybody.
It’s May, my favourite month. And not just because it’s my birthday.
Spring has SPRUNG and there’s so much LIFE everywhere! 🌱🌱🌱 Everything looks and smells gorgeous. Also; festival season kicks off with The Big Retreat, more Summer fun is on the horizon, Mental Health Awareness Week gives us a chance to shout (even more) about things that matter (this year the theme is Community, which is just perfect), and we have a new BOTM to explore.
AND it’s my birthday.
To celebrate all this goodness I have another stellar self-help line-up for you, including; Gretchen Rubin (🙌), KC Davis, Jo Hutton, Donna Ashworth and the Love ADHD dudes (and I also spent waaaaaay too long creating this whizzy calendar of events graphic so I really hope you like it… and can read it… is the font way too small?! You can zoom in if reading on your phone… but LMK!)
This post/email is a guide to what’s happening, when, so you can get the dates saved, pre-order your BOTM, and maybe even plan a trip to Wales with us… ? And you can use the links to find out more info as needed.
A reminder that Paid Subscribers get access to our online Book Club as well as all of our live events and Replays, and our full archive. (And is there a better way to learn about healthy relationships while connecting to other people also working hard to do the same?!).
📚 MAY/JUN BOTM: WHO DESERVES YOUR LOVE by KC Davis📚
“Am I being unreasonable or are they being an asshole?”
I LOVE this quote ⬆️ from the introduction to this book, and I think it sums up the work we’ll be doing on boundaries perfectly.
Is it me? (sometimes it is) Is it them? (sometimes it is)
Should I stay? (sometimes we can) Should I go? (sometimes we must)
And if I stay or go, how do I do it with love and care, for myself as well as others?
This book is a guide to understanding, creating and maintaining healthy and happy relationships, as well as what to do when you realise something needs to change (I can’t wait for you to meet THE DECISION TREE).
And I know boundaries aren’t the sexiest - or the easiest - self-help subject BUT they are the foundation to almost anything else you will do to improve your life and your Self Health.
And we here to Work, after all…
