What Kind of Tree Will You Be?

Life has a way of testing us. One moment, everything feels calm and predictable; the next, we’re standing in the middle of a storm, with the wind tearing through everything familiar. These winds of life—stress, loss, conflict—are inevitable. The real question isn’t whether they’ll come. The question is: how will you respond when they do?

The Resilient Tree

In a world driven by likes, shares, and endless validation from external sources, the idea of seeking connection with oneself feels… almost revolutionary, doesn’t it? People everywhere are searching for deep, meaningful relationships—with partners, friends, colleagues—anyone but themselves. And yet, this relationship with “self” is the most important and the one that, ironically, we often ignore.

Let’s clear up a common misconception right away:...

Emotional Responsibility: How It Defines Healthy Relationships

In any relationship—whether it’s romantic, familial, or friendship—emotional responsibility plays a key role in keeping things healthy. When people take ownership of their actions and how those actions affect others, relationships have the space to thrive. On the flip side, when people dodge responsibility, blame others, or refuse to change harmful behaviours, relationships can become toxic quickly.

This pattern shows up when one person craves closeness (anxious attachment) and the other feels like closeness is an emotional straitjacket (avoidant attachment). It can feel like both of you...

How Our Minds Keep Us in the Dark About Ourselves

What Are Blindspots, Anyway?
Have you ever driven a car, checked your mirrors, and still managed to miss a cyclist coming up beside you? That little oversight, the one lurking just out of view, is what we call a blindspot.

But here’s the thing—blindspots aren’t just for the road. We have them in our minds too. These are the mental gaps that keep us from seeing our own flaws, or sometimes even the less-than-perfect behaviours of those around us. It’s like our brains...

Know Who You Are: Reclaiming Your Truth

Ever found yourself scrolling through social media, thinking, “Wait, am I supposed to be like that?” You know the feeling—those moments when everyone seems to have a strong opinion on who you should be. They tell you how to dress, how to act, and even how to think. Before you know it, you're morphing into someone else’s idea of "you," like a chameleon without the cool colour-changing powers.

But here’s the truth: when you don’t truly know who you are, other...

Letting Go of Survival Habits: Releasing Old Patterns That No Longer Serve You

Have you ever caught yourself reacting in a way that feels, well, outdated? Like you're using a map from 1995 to navigate today's world? That's what happens when old survival habits—those coping mechanisms that once helped us get through tough times—stick around longer than needed. They’re like the security blanket we can’t seem to ditch, even when it's way past its prime. Why do we hang on to these habits and, more importantly, how to let them go with a little grace?
