      <image:caption>Fourteen months in, progress often feels slower than we’d like. But as we celebrated our successes at our Christmas party, reflecting, for instance, on the money our Tweens have helped raise to redecorate their space, we realised just how much has actually happened. It’s clear that we are making meaningful headway, even when it doesn’t always feel that way.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Do We Need to Consider Inclusivity When It Comes to Partnerships? - With inclusivity as our ongoing theme this month, I’ve been reflecting on what it really means, not just in workplaces, communities, or society at large, but in our closest relationships too. Especially long-term partnerships: marriages, co-parenting, the shared lives we build behind closed doors.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Do We Need to Consider Inclusivity When It Comes to Partnerships? - Rarely do we ask what inclusivity looks like at home. Yet some of the most quietly pressing questions arise not in public, but in the everyday routines of personal life. Especially when children are involved and the demands of daily life stretch us in all directions, the never-ending to-do lists, broken sleep, and juggling countless tasks. Even when both partners try their best, it’s easy to start missing each other emotionally. In a relationship, is there truly space for both partners’ needs, dreams, stresses, and identities to coexist fully? Or does one person’s reality shrink to make room for the other’s? What happens when both feel unseen, not ignored, but transformed by their shifting identities? When we become “mum” or “dad,” “husband” or “wife,” do we lose sight of who we are beyond those roles? It’s more common than we admit, especially in intense phases of life, for each partner to feel like they’re carrying the lion’s share. One might run the home, manage the school run, and coordinate meals and activities. The other might bear pressure at work and the financial load. Yet both feel unseen. Over time, that lack of recognition can leave even the strongest relationships feeling lonely.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Are We EVER Enough? - We cannot change the past—but in letting go of a limiting belief we are able to move forward with optimism and new found strength. That in itself is a wonderful, powerful thing and should never be dismissed.  I have found myself however reflecting back on that exercise and on the intensity of the emotions I experienced, a deep regret, of lost happiness for that vulnerable 5 year old child. These reflections led me to think about how early we start internalising these beliefs—and how they’re already shaping the next generation. As a mother, I know how it feels to want to shield my children from the big bad world! I want to protect them. I want to make them realise that it doesn’t matter what the world thinks of them. But the truth is… they will care. Of course they will. Just like we all did.</image:title>

      <image:caption>And the problem isn’t just “out there.” It extends to the parents—many of whom are quietly battling their own unresolved issues around weight, appearance, and self-worth. How can we expect to model body confidence when we, too, are still unlearning harmful beliefs? When we flinch at our reflection, skip meals, or joke about being "bad" for eating a slice of cake, our children absorb those messages. Even in silence, they learn.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Are We EVER Enough? - It seems so obvious. And yet, we still struggle. We continue to wrestle with self-worth, chasing toxic dreams. So, what are we really voting for when we buy into beauty norms? In NLP, your attention is a vote. Every time we follow content that promotes fake perfection—skinny girls, muscly men, AI-generated faces—we’re reinforcing a cultural message of not being enough. We’re casting votes for a system that thrives on our insecurity. And we’re setting ourselves up for failure. We can’t be as perfect as the airbrushed models on the screen. We certainly can’t compete with AI.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Loss: The Weight We All Must Endure - Losing our family dog after more than a decade together really shook me. When a pet has been around that long, they're woven into your everyday life. It’s the little things that hit the hardest after they’re gone. Coming downstairs in the morning, half expecting the usual chaos and a wagging tail… only to find silence and an empty spot where the bed used to be. Or catching yourself glancing in the rear-view mirror, thinking they’ll be there in the back of the car like always. Those small moments—they stay with you. Sometimes for longer than you’d expect.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Loss: The Weight We All Must Endure - Disorientation, Emotional Complexity &amp; Healing</image:title>
      <image:caption>The phrase “to feel at a loss” captures the emotional experience of feeling confused, or unsure about what to do next, often in the wake of a difficult or painful situation. When we lose someone dear, we are left disoriented, uncertain of how to move forward. We may feel hopeless, blocked, exhausted, insecure, or untethered. Everything can feel unstable and raw. This disorientation may lead to depression, despair, or a profound sense of brokenness. We might feel angry, incomplete, or as though a vital piece of ourselves has been torn away. But loss doesn’t have to involve death to leave a mark—it can come from change, distance, or the quiet ending of something meaningful. As Dawn Ford shares, “it’s an end of, or a change in, a familiar pattern” that throws us. Sometimes it’s a friendship that unravels unexpectedly. A relationship that drifts apart or ends abruptly. It can even be watching someone you love grow distant, emotionally, even when they’re still physically present. Loss can shake our sense of stability and pull us out of our comfort zones, often prompting deep reflection. The death of a parent might stir a sudden awareness of becoming the next generation. A breakup or the end of a romantic relationship may lead to uncertainty—can I risk being vulnerable again? Estrangement from someone once close might bring questions about our own role, or uncover truths we hadn’t been ready to face. These are just some of the many thoughts and emotions that can surface when we’re navigating the weight of loss—there’s no single way to feel, and no right way to process it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Loss: The Weight We All Must Endure - Grieving Chronic Pain and Identity</image:title>
      <image:caption>For those living with chronic illness, the grief is quieter but no less significant. It’s not a loss marked by a single event, but by the gradual erosion of the life they once knew—the slow fading of what once felt normal. And for those facing a terminal diagnosis, the future can feel like it’s slipping through their fingers—a deeply personal and painful process of coming to terms with the inevitable goodbye that looms ahead. For me, chronic pain forced a reckoning. My doctors advised me to slow down, to reduce my output—to give up on driving the Ferrari and accept the Ford Mondeo. I was used to running marathons, working out, living life in the fast lane. Then, suddenly, overnight I was pulled away from the life I knew. It felt like I’d been flung into a deep abyss, robbed of my essence. I lost all sense of self. I fell into a depression. Honestly, there were moments I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. So much of my joy and love for life had evaporated. Each day was marked by pain, and I felt wretched.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Loss: The Weight We All Must Endure - Many people often say that their greatest clarity and sense of purpose emerged during the toughest times in their lives. That unimaginable loss can be the very spark that ignites transformation, propelling us forward in ways we never thought possible. In those dark moments, we might experience a complete shift, realising that we’ve been wasting time or not fully embracing our potential. Loss can push us to take responsibility for our own lives, forcing us to accept that change is inevitable and transition is necessary. This very loss can become our driving force, even transforming into our life's purpose. It may push us to step outside our comfort zones, make bold moves like relocating, changing careers, pursuing new studies, or even embracing the unexpected—taking on a risky hobby, reinventing our image, or turning our passions into our life's work.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Are Teenagers Lost in the Void? - A Glimmer of Hope I It’s definitely not all doom and gloom. A recent study of 4,509 adolescents aged 10 to 24 in the US revealed that 50% are optimistic about their future and feel their life has meaning, even if they are facing mental health challenges.¹⁷ An overwhelming 95% reported having someone in their life who deeply cares about them. Those who feel a sense of belonging are 1.5 times more likely to believe their life is meaningful and 1.7 times more likely to report being happy. In the US, substance abuse—particularly smoking and alcohol consumption—continues to decline,¹⁸ although this positive trend is of course not universal.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Digitalisation Is Unstoppable: The Driving Force Behind the Informed Perspective - The Informed Perspective: A Balanced Approach The more we reflected on these realities, the clearer our mission became. While issues like banning smartphones in schools and protecting children from harmful content online are crucial, the reality is that digitalisation isn’t going anywhere. We are too deeply entrenched in it. The challenge now is not to resist or avoid digitalisation, but to become informed about what these tools are, how we use them and their impact on our health. At The Informed Perspective, we don’t claim to have all the answers—there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Rather, we aim to encourage thoughtfulness. Our mission is to promote balance: while digitalisation offers many benefits, we believe that it’s essential to ensure that we’re also nurturing offline, real-world connections. By increasing these opportunities for in-person interaction, we hope to reduce the overwhelming pull of digital devices. This doesn't mean demonising digitalisation. It has undoubtedly brought many advancements and conveniences into our lives. However, we must continue improving its regulation and make sure that everyone is aware of its potential harms.   Freedom of choice only holds value if we understand the choices we’re making. This concern extends to META’s recent decision regarding fact-checking. If people are not fully informed, they may act out of necessity, coercion, or ignorance, rather than choice—a dangerous situation.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Why are Children so Stressed? Is it our Fault?</image:title>
      <image:caption>A Cultural Shift: Embracing Independence As children grow, we need to give them increasing freedom to explore the world independently, this is reiterated by Abigail Shrier in her book, Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren’t Growing Up. She stressed that we need to give our children privacy and allow them to make their own decisions—within reason. By trusting them with increasing responsibility, we empower them to navigate their world with less anxiety and with greater self-assurance and connection. Overprotective parenting could unintentionally stifle their growth, leaving them anxious and unable to navigate the world on their own. By granting our children more freedom—while setting clear expectations—we can help them develop the skills they need to manage their stress and thrive.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - Are you REALLY Listening? - Jeremy Indika</image:title>
      <image:caption>is a speaker, podcast host, and founder of Something to Say. He shares his personal story of childhood abuse and the decades of silence that followed to highlight the importance of open and honest communication between teenagers and parents. After beginning his career as a design engineer at McLaren, Jeremy chose a very different path — dedicating himself to breaking down the barriers that stop families from talking openly. Today, he works with schools, parents, and communities across the UK and beyond, guiding teenagers and parents to listen with openness, strengthen trust, and create supportive homes where conversations flourish. At this event, Jeremy will share his lived experience and lead workshops designed to show how listening differently can change family life — helping both parents and teenagers keep the door to communication open. jeremyindika.com</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events - Exploring the Role of Doulas in Community Support! - As part of our January focus on SUPPORT, we’re excited to bring you a special webinar featuring two doulas who hold a unique and impactful role within their communities. Doulas are much more than birth professionals—they are compassionate guides, offering essential support during life’s most significant transitions. Their influence extends far beyond childbirth, playing a crucial role in building stronger, healthier families and communities.</image:title>

      <image:title>Events - Exploring the Role of Doulas in Community Support! - Debbie Mitchell…</image:title>
      <image:caption>is an international doula based at the crossroads of France, Germany, and Switzerland. Drawing on her personal experiences of raising children in different countries, she brings a unique perspective to her work. Becoming a parent is an extraordinary, yet often challenging journey, and raising children abroad—where everything is unfamiliar—adds an extra layer of complexity. However, international communities can be some of the most supportive, as they understand the struggles, unite, and help one another. As a doula, she sees her role as a way to help new parents tap into that supportive network, guiding them to find their own footing and their own path to parenthood. www.sherpabirths.eu</image:caption>

In addition to her doula work, she is a certified Homeopath and Flower Essences Practitioner, as well as a trained DreamBirth practitioner. She is currently studying Sapphire Imagery at the School of Images in New York. As the head of the MY DOULA Association and its training program, she trains doulas in Slovenia and is an active birth advocate, childbirth educator, and connector of doulas.
