This Week’s Wonders: VIP House Tours, Trauma Therapy and TikTok Tips
📺 Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Cribs - The Ultimate VIP House Tour!
I love a good nosy into other people’s houses, so when I saw a new program on ITV, Abbey Clancy: Celebrity Homes, I thought I would give that a go. I'm already a fan of Abbey as I listen to her hilarious podcast, The Therapy Crouch, with her footballer husband Peter.
You can't not love Abbey. She's funny, down to earth and bloody gorgeous! In this program, she takes us into the beautiful homes of celebrities such as Heidi Range from Sugababes, Model Jodie Kidd and Love Island favourite Olivia Bowen, who shares my lifelong dream of having a kitchen island.
If, like me, you appreciate a beautiful home or you just like a nosy into other people’s houses, give it a watch.
📖 It's Never Too Late to Untangle Life's Knots
If you read my Sunday posts, you will know that I have been in therapy for some time and am a huge advocate for it. So when I read Why it’s Never Too Late for Trauma Therapy from Victoria Stokes in The Midst newsletter, I knew I had to share it.
Victoria reminds us, “Trauma can refer to events that are life-threatening, and encompass physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. However, it can also refer to any event that is extremely distressing and causes you to experience emotional problems for a period of time”
Over the years, I have dismissed my own experiences because I was gaslit to within an inch of my life in a past relationship, but thanks to therapy, I am learning how to untangle those beliefs.
👂🏻 A Prescription for Performance Panic
Anxiety is more common than it would have us believe, so if, like many of us, you stress out about speaking up in meetings or even outside of work, I would recommend giving this episode of the Meadow DeVor podcast On Performance Anxiety and Self-Consciousness a listen.
📱 A TikTok-Inspired Self-Care Revival
With everything that’s been going on over the last few months, my self-care has taken a bit of a nose dive. This TikTok post was a great reminder of those things I need to put back in place.
💰 Follow the Savings Star
Rather than a discount code this week, I thought I would share one of my fave money-saving Instagram accounts, Gemma Bird. Her page has some fabulous ideas on how to save, as well as some of the latest bargains.
🤔 Menopause Mixtape: Hints, Hacks, and Handy Tools
I have sooooo many Menopause resources to share with you all, but I don’t want to bombard you all at once, so here is an article about Perimenopause and its symptoms, a TikTok post on The Impact of Personality and Mood and mySysters, the fabulous symptom tracker app that I use, it has all those weird obscure ones that the other apps don’t seem to have.
