Low Self Esteem and Shadenfreude
To quote the brilliant Arthur Schopenhauer - “To feel envy is human, to savour schadenfreude is devilish” “Schadenfreude” is a German word that translates as “harm-joy”.

Teaching Kids How to Play.
When I was young, I NEVER, EVER thought I would be the type of parent I am now. I would have absolutely insisted that I would be a very cool and laid back, fun mum who didn’t care about rules, never gave lectures and was always understanding, easy going, and of course, best friends with her kids.

Ride the Rollercoaster
I’ve been reading about “the time of the millennial” lately. And I’ve come to the conclusion that we have already squeezed the last drops of any benefit from this new way of living.

Boredom and Creativity
When I was a teenager, we didn’t have iPhones or even internet. If I wanted to talk to friends, I had to spend time with them, in person.

Listen to Understand, not to Reply
I always hear and read about how “repressing” our emotions is very unhealthy. Emotions like anger, fear, sadness and shame could hurt or offend others, and we don’t want to do that. We don’t want to be judged for these negative (but normal) feelings.

Maybe You aren’t the Crazy one ?

Mental Health and Labels.
Have you ever wondered if you had a Mental Health Disorder? Have you ever been prescribed anti-depressant medication because something felt off and you were desperate to “be normal”?

Find Your Inner Rebel
Were you ever called a “rebellious” teenager? Were you a good kid, who stood up for yourself and for others against power tripping adults and corrupt authority?

Healing the Inspeakable - The Mother Wound
I think it’s pretty common for mothers and daughters to have strained relationships. But, just because something is common, doesn’t mean it’s good or that it should be ignored or accepted as normal.

Treat them Mean, Keep them Keen.
Every women knows this worked like a charm on men. (Back before we had kids, of course!) But, I realize this also works very well on children!

Man vs Woman
I often think that I should have been a man. I’m smarter than most men. More capable than most men. I’m even physically stronger than some men!

You Say You Want LOVE, but is that really the Truth?
Many people say that all they really want is to “find love”. There are also many who deny true love even exists. But my suspicion is, regardless of which group you belong to, you don’t actually want “real love” at all.
