It’s Birth Trauma Awareness Week. This year, we focus on marginalised groups facing extra barriers in maternity care, from racial disparities to challenges faced by disabled and neurodivergent mothers. Let’s listen. Let’s learn. Let’s do better. #GoodMaternityCareforAll #BTAW25

Are we reaching endgame capitalism? So much global wealth inequality - has anyone stopped to think how this all ends? The march for more, effects the environment but ordinary people too as the rich/poor divide becomes greater. There must be better ways of living not based on wealth accumulation.

Martin Crawford’s book and work has changed how I garden and think about food security. I’m currently creating my own food forest garden.

This is a devastating decision by the landlords to destroy this established and important forest garden. Please support or share if you can.

What is existential coaching?
It’s a philosophical approach to implement change in a person’s life, which is deeply personal.
Teaching clients to claim their complexity and empower them to take ownership of their lives.

Let’s not forget the unseen and often undervalued work that parents do raising the next generation. For something so important and essential for our humanity it is given so little acknowledgment, recognition and support.

Mums - we see your hard work balancing life, work and children!
