Journal

Welcome!

This collection of posts reflects my deep appreciation for the natural world, as well as my thinking about garden design and plants. Some were written in the earlier days of Growthfully, when I focused on bringing together garden planning with women’s wellbeing, before I turned my professional attention to therapeutic coaching and women’s circles. They lead into my more recent writings about women’s empowerment. I hope you find them inspiring.

Happy reading!

On stoicism, anger and women

Stoicism is not a virtue - so said a wise woman recently and I felt something inside me chime.

So many of us live, often unconsciously, by an outdated, patriarchal, and plain unhelpful (if not dangerous), edict that there is merit in our keeping quiet, not ‘making a fuss’ and being stoical; that we should be ‘sweetness and light’ and get on with life without creating a disturbance; that women are supposed to be ‘ladylike’ and that it’s unattractive to be angry.

Well stuff that!
