Have you ever identified yourself totally in the story, in the character or in a particular passage of a book? Felt them yours, as if the author was speaking to you, about you and your experience? Found in black and white emotions, sensations or thoughts that you were unable to express in words? And have you ever read a book that made you think of a person you would have liked to give it to? It’s exactly what happened to me when I read Lean In, a book that I have then given and recommended to several friends and that I hope you will enjoyRead More…

Having a difficult mother baby bond with my first baby was probably one of the hardest realities I have had to face as a mother (so far). As an expectant mother I assumed that once my baby entered this world he would instinctively be obsessed with me. It did not even cross my mind that I would have to earn his trust by learning how to be his mother to form that mother baby bond. This may not resonate with all mothers, but for those who are struggling to bond with their baby I want to assure you that it is normal and you areRead More…

I am a 33 year old woman with Hyperparathyroidism, diagnosed at the age of 30. Normal blood test routine showed high levels of calcium which with hyperparathyroidism, causes high levels of parathyroid hormone and usually low vitamin D levels. This was my first blood test routine. It is very important to take blood test regularly, but, more importantly have your results carefully inspected by a professional. Some people may think that having high levels of calcium is good for the body. Unfortunately it is not true! I had done several scans of the neck to find the gland and after several tries I eventually wentRead More…

Wham is always interested in different events and to highlight new opportunities for women, so when we heard of a group of girls playing polo at the Arena Polo we had to go find out what this was all about. I don’t know much about polo except that it’s played on a horse and looks dangerous to me who’s very scared of horses. But in the name of empowerment, information and also because I was quite intrigued, I headed off to the Arena Polo arena at Montekristo Estates to find out more about this sport and these brave women who play it. I met upRead More…

“People ask me all the time how I managed to turn my life around, and my answer to everyone is to try the Six Pack Revolution. My name is Hayley and this is my story…“ At 35 years old, I had some life changing news. For a few months I had notbeen feeling my usual self, but had got on with everything as normal, and brushed it off with being stressed by work, and just tired. I finally went to the doctors and chatted about everything with my nurse, who was concerned that there may be an underlying cause, and asked me to bring inRead More…

When it comes to understanding emotional eating we realise that sometimes we eat in response to our mind without consulting our bodies… Our connection with food and emotions is a very primitive one, it starts at birth; it is created the minute we are fed our first meal of milk and experience the wonderful feeling of safety and satiety together. A baby is born with two main needs, the need for bonding, physical closeness and safety and the need for nourishment.  When a baby is held and fed at the same time, both these needs are being satisfied together and this is where food andRead More…

It has been 4 days since I’ve left a toxic, violent, abusive relationship with a narcissist I thought I would spend the rest of my life with, and I am struggling.

He gets to keep his friends, the friends he vetted for me because they wouldRead More…
