Sarah ... This brought tears to my eyes. This is the magic of Substack... Being able to read such incredible writing from people like you , and feel it so incredibly deeply. I've been on my own healing journey for years, and I have always craved peace and the feeling of safety and I feel like I understand that so much more more after reading this. Im going to re read and re read ... There is so much wisdom here. Thank you truly ... I really feel like this has helped me so much. 🙏
I know I've shared this in my Notes, but I just wanted to highlight again how relatable this piece is. That feeling of safety and security in my life and work came late for me, but I'm so glad I found it - even if it was the hard way - after believing it was "normal" to be living on the edge all the time. I was nodding along furious to "I’d never even heard of a nervous system."
Oh highlight away Sarah! I can read messages like yours all day ;) and let's keep sharing because if we can get to a place where we learn this in school, the world will be a better place.
This is so so true. I spent years throughout my twenties chasing a million things I thought would help, only to end up burnt out. I started looking inwards a year or so ago and it's already made the world of difference. A wonderful article and thanks for the reminder! 😊
Thank you Lucy, - there’s just so much conditioning to go and chase this generic view of success… and maybe we need some of the experience to show us there’s a different way… but more likely we just need to have this internal safety role modeled when we’re growing up
I’m so glad to hear you’ve shifted and moved from the chasing 🤗 and yes we all need a reminder! Have a wonderful day!
I’d not really thought about safety in that sense, and yet, as I start this road of being a writer, instead of being panicked by no income stream, I feel strangely calm about it all, I’m sure I can do this. 👏✍️
☺️I’m so pleased you enjoyed it Kate. And how exciting to be at the start of a journey! You absolutely can do it, and yes I know what you mean about it feeling strangely calm… being safe in yourself seems to feel like this, imagine if we all had this from being tiny? Glorious that we can discover it as we grow 🙌✨
I’m hoping to build my Substack into something sustainable, both for my own enjoyment (am loving it) and a small income. I don’t need much, but a small top up would be great.
Today’s post show my progress so far after 3 months, going out at 12.24 GMT, don’t miss it! 😉
I’m not sure if the headline is a bit cheeky! We’ll soon find out! 😂😂😂

Oh hey Emily.... I'm feeling so full reading your note... this is why I write. I don't know what else to say... I really appreciate you xx

Indeed we can! 🙌
What is your writing journey looking like Kate? Where are you aiming, or are you exploring?

Oh fabulous! And I know I find it easier to grow something that I enjoy, I guess you do too :) I'm looking forward to hearing how you've done! 🙌
