  • Shingles, Guilt and Shame
    Aug 29 2024

    We apologise for the long absence. After a series of health issues, life got in the way these last 12 months … mostly work. If only we have the means to make this our full-time job, that would be ideal.

    In this episode, Kris updates Karen on her search for a job and finally … an outcome. Having said that, somehow, guilt and shame have reared their ugly heads out. How does one deal with shame and the guilt that goes with it?

  • Self-Care for the Mind, Body and Soul
    Sep 20 2023

    We are back and apologies for the huge gap between episodes!

    While Karen has been back for some time, Kris had been under the weather for weeks. After discussing Self-Compassion as foundation for Self-Care, Karen and Kris share the activities they do as part of their self-care. There is no one-size-fits-all so remember, what works for them, may not necessarily work for you.

    How about you, what are the self-care practices that work for you? Tell us via email or on our socials!
