This Reel went a bit viral a few weeks ago so I thought I'd share this! Today I picked up one of my old notebooks to write in and I found a slightly heartbreaking entry from 2018, it was when I was getting out of an extremely toxic relationship that left me in pieces inside and out. Back then I wasn't aware of healthier signs to look for when committing to a romantic relationship, now I know better, now I've been trained to help clients see and know better as well!

What are some healthy signs you look for in Relationships? Let me know in the comments!

Big shout out to @mazzhakim for always welcoming me as warmly into her studio at @virginradiodxb and life!

In the middle of all the Happy Father's Day posts and messages, I case you feel an ache that you can't name or just want to quietly acknowledge, then this one is for you ❤️

The father wound is a difficult one to carry (like every wound of course!) and it very often gets brushed aside as just daddy issues or gets argued against with phrases like "But you had a strong mother!" YES AND I still miss my dad 🤷🏽‍♀️ both things can be true at the same time. I never got the chance to meet my biological father before he tragically passed away and my step dad was... let's just say he did more damage to my psyche than helping it so Father's day makes me a little sad for everything I feel I missed out on and I don't fight that sadness anymore, I ride the wave and tell myself that the form of my father takes in my life now, loves me unconditionally 🥹💖

Just a few things I've been telling myself on days when my anxiety levels are high. I use these to interrupt the spiral and these have been helping some of my clients as well. The trick is to treat your anxiety as an entity that is separate from you, which is why I don't use 'I' language. This helps me create some distance between my anxious thoughts and my identity.

Which slide is your favourite? Let me know in the comments if any of these notes resonated with you 💖

Nobody panic. It's been a good day *Anxiety Aunty has entered the chat* 👀😳🤦🏽‍♀️

Send this to or tag someone who also has an Anxiety Aunty's living rent free in their head 😅

I've been doing a strange disappearing and appearing act on Instagram and this video explains a bit of why. If you're going through something that's made you disappear (even if it's just in subtle ways) this one's for you 💕

I do a lot of this work with some of my clients as well and if you'd like to set up a session to talk, please DM me 🙌🏽

Sending you tons of love ❤️

(You don't need to be a tennis fan or know anything about it for these lessons to land!)
The Rafa documentary for me is about the mind, the body and the price we pay when we don't understand the difference between the pain we can't avoid and the pain we create for ourselves.

Rising above the odds and never ever ever ever ever ever giving up on himself, I was always a Federer fan but Rafa has my heart ❤️

"Not again!" said almost all of us here in the UAE and with it a reminder that we're all still carrying so much and still showing up. Still functioning and still bracing for impact.

If you need support, my DMs are open ❤️

I'm acting in a short play called 'Final Rest' and over the weekend we made it to the finals of @xfestdxb ✨️ The last few weeks have filled my heart with so much joy that only theatre can bring 🤩 The actual spirit of theatre for me has always been honouring the craft and how transformative it can be for someone if you lean into the creative process and not your ego.

Working with @brainbestieaditi and @satyabaskaran renewed my confidence as a performer and artist. They are true examples of human beings who take the time to actually listen, make you feel seen and held and respected while constantly challenging me so that I grow as an artist and person. I LOVE the friendship this is growing into 🤩 and that is a rare thing to find on the other side of 40!

I would love to know what's filled your heart with love lately despite the times we're living in, tell me in the comments 💖

Lots of love and thanks to @dugulan.media for capturing these wonderful moments for us 👏🏽📷🙌🏽

I don't think using the word 'uncertainty' every other day was a part of any of our plans for 2026.

This is for anyone who's been holding it together. Who's hopeful but also anxious. Who wants to come out of this as a better version of themselves, not just a more relieved one 😅

Swipe through and if something lands, share it with someone who needs it today ❤️

Right now many people in the UAE are responding to uncertainty in very different ways.

Some nervous systems go into high alert.
Some start overthinking.
Some cope through humor.
Some feel overwhelmed and go quiet.
Some are able to stay steady and practical.

These reactions are not personality flaws.

They are protective responses.

Our nervous systems are shaped by different histories, experiences, and capacities for holding stress. When uncertainty rises, those differences become more visible.

No nervous system response is inherently “better” than another. When we start ranking them, we usually end up judging each other instead of understanding each other.

Understanding this isn’t about excusing harmful or disrespectful behavior. Awareness of our nervous systems should help us take more responsibility for how we show up, not less!

Maybe the invitation right now is to give each other a little more room to navigate a situation some of us have never experienced.

Which mug do you think your nervous system is today?
And is there someone in your life whose mug might look different from yours?

We'll talk about anchor words, values, honouring your current season of life and how it's okay and normal for our values to keep changing and based on that, we will set our 2026 intentions before the hustle begins! I'll also take you through my own blend of visualisation and sound healing to end the day ✨️ Come be a part of my workshop called 'Intentionally Yours' on the 4th of January from 4-6 pm in Dubai. It's going to be a small gathering of wonderful souls 🥰

Comment 'Intention' and I'll DM you the details (I dont have robots replying for me, it's all me 😅)

I'd love to see you there 🫶🏽😍
