Beyond Your Walls - tips to break down emotional barriers.

Thu, 13 Nov 2025 07:54:25 GMT

Have you ever felt your heart physically hurt? Like someone is squeezing the life out of you?

It might be a lost love, a work break-up, a friendship that ends, a traumatic upbringing, infidelity, or even something someone said, which crushed your confidence. An automatic response in situations like these, is to push your feelings down and build walls around your heart. Protective mechanisms, which you hope will dim your pain and keep you from experiencing similar pain again.

From your guarded fortress, you may become less trusting (this is understandable) and sceptical. You might stay busy, help everyone else, isolate yourself or work extra hard to prove that you’re fine. You’ll most-likely find all the evidence you need, to confirm that you have to protect yourself; that if you don’t, it will happen again.

You probably know that your mind can tell real doozy’s. You can have arguments in your head, assume things about people without even knowing them, pull up old stories about situations that are similar and justify why you’re acting the way you do.

The mind is fascinating and can be a powerful tool that can support you in the most beautiful ways. It’s also a bloody good liar; especially when you want to step outside your comfort zone or lean into relationships or opportunities, where there’s a possibility you could get hurt again.

Here’s the thing, placing walls around your heart, makes it really hard to decipher what is fact and what’s fiction.

In Louise Hay’s book, You Can Heal Your Life, Louise refers to the stomach as, holding nourishment and digesting food and ideas. I would add, it also digests our experiences, thoughts and feelings. So what happens, when we don’t digest what we experience?

She goes on to explain that our heart doesn’t only pump blood through our body. The Heart is the centre of love and security. What are we stopping ourselves from experiencing, when our heart is guarded while we’re hiding in our fortress?

I clearly remember a time when I went into protection mode after being hurt. I stated very clearly that ‘I would never let anyone hurt me again.’ When I voiced this declaration, I instantly built walls around myself and stayed attached to life being painful and unsafe. This had its problems too. While I kept my guard up, I wasn’t cultivating more trust in myself and others, I was hiding from past hurts and unknown fears. I also wasn't fully connected to the joy that I now feel on a regular basis and when I look back, I wanted to feel loved, but I pushed it away and came across quite ungrateful.

Our stomach and heart are deeply connected to our senses, including our intuition. When we shut down these powerfully intuitive, intrinsically connected areas of our body, it’s hard to make decisions and open up to different experiences.

Ever experienced a gut feeling that you can’t deny and you have to honour it? Smelt food that makes your mouth water? Notice how excited you get when your loved one comes home? Felt absolute gratitude within your body, for a simple moment of pleasure, like a sunset, a smile from a baby, or a hug that feels delicious?

These are our feelings and sensations which send you messages.

These senses also help you…

Decipher the feeling in a room when you enter.
The undertone, beneath conversations.
The aura of a person, when you first meet them.
Whether a house or job feels right.
When you’re out of alignment, with your values.
The difference between green and red flags.
Whether certain foods are good or bad for you.
Which road to take when you're lost.

To shut down these incredibly, intuitive aspects of yourself, is to drive down a winding road, wearing the wrong type of prescription glasses and everything seems blurry. You don’t get a clear perspective and so confusion occurs and old stories take over.

So how do you reawaken the parts of yourself, that have been shut down?

Quite often when I ask someone how they feel about a situation, they often mention what they think. When I bring their awareness to this, they often say ‘I don’t know how I feel.’

Noticing how you feel and your sensations in different situations, is a great way to start reawakening your inner wisdom.

Observe how being in nature makes you feel, how putting your feet in the moana/ocean feels. Notice how you feel around your loved ones or the atrocities which are unfolding in the world. How do you feel when you’re around people who trigger you? Observe how you feel when you keep quiet when you have something to say, or when you allow your authenticity out to play. Notice how you feel when you dance, win, lose, begin and then finish a yoga class, eat a delicious meal, embrace your loved ones or think about the heartbreak you’ve experienced.

Begin to...

Notice what you're feeling.
Acknowledge your feelings.
Observe how your body responds to your feelings. (heart racing, energised, tight tummy, sweaty palms, relaxed or tense...).
Breathe slowly, inhaling right down into your belly and then slowly exhaling.

Do your feelings ramp up or do you become more settled, once you’ve acknowledged them.

Notice when you try and hold back your tears and then how you feel after you’ve let them flow.

Observe the difference when you avoid your anger and then allow it to be felt.

Notice when you feel anxious and how you begin to react.

Reassure yourself… it’s ok, I’ve got you, you are safe…

I learned the other day that most feelings only last for about 90 seconds. The thing that intensifies them, is often the stories we attach to our feelings.

Take time to focus on your stomach and heart. Place your hands on these areas regularly. Send them love and gratitude. Begin to listen to the subtle and sometimes strong messages they give you.

The more you tune in and honour your intuitive centres, the more you’ll become aware of the guidance they’re providing.

Remember your mind isn’t all bad. When you can make decisions using all three of these areas; mind, heart, stomach, you’ll have a highly intuitive tool that guides you throughout your life.

They’ll be no need to keep your walls up, because you’ll trust yourself to make decisions which support you. From here you’ll experience more joy, creativity, fulfilling connections and opportunities, that can only be found, outside the walls you once built around yourself.

Check in with yourself right now, what are you feeling?

Running, it isn't always healthy.

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 03:44:48 GMT

I went for a run, for about five minutes and then I realised...

I was running away from my feelings. Sadness about losing Zeus, worrying about a friend who’s struggling, frustration about how I reacted to a situation, impatience that things aren’t moving faster, feelings of distrust and also fear for the future… there were quite a few emotions, racing around in this head of mine.

I stopped running. Ok, I didn’t just stop because I realised I was running away from my feelings, my knees didn’t particularly like running either. My awareness about my feelings however, was important. I knew I needed to be present to my internal storm, rather than try to avoid it.

So, I walked; first I bumped into a couple who live in my neighbourhood. They have two dogs and I gratefully enjoyed snuggles with their Rottweiler. It felt so good to feel his fur, hear his panting and look into his big brown eyes. They also shared some beautiful thoughts around losing our furry friends that gave me comfort…

‘don’t grieve for me, you gave me the best life’

I continued on and began to notice the bird life, the old puriri trees, the soft breeze and the sun breaking through the canopy. Beauty began to bring lightness into my uneasiness. Almost untangling my pent-up emotions and constricted ways of thinking, so they were easier to assimilate. I continued to follow the track out to the beach. As I arrived, I noticed the tide was at its lowest. The sand rippled, like I imagine the unseen vibrations we send into the Universe, through our thoughts, words and actions.

I continued on and came to the cliffs, where pohutukawa trees cling precariously above, their red flowers beginning to appear, just like every other summer. Rocks and debris which were unable to hold on, lay shattered below. The different layers of earth, create patterns on the cliff face, a timeline and a reminder of the depth of our beautiful Papatūānuku (Māmā Earth).

A kōtare (kingfisher) swoops down and lands on a rock, 30 or so metres in front of me. We greet each other, well I say hello. It stays put, as I walk closer and then it opens its gorgeous blue wings and flies to a branch on the side of the cliff. It looks at me, then towards the top of the cliff. It repeats this action a couple of times, like it wants me to look up there too. I do so, taking in the view of the steep rock face and the vibrant blue sky above.

I continued on, finding a spot to practice my morning rituals and then once I’m done, I wonder to the entrance of the ngahere (forest). I take a moment before climbing the steep stairs, making my way through the native flora.

I hear and then see a kererū (wood pigeon) just before I enter a part of the ngahere that is extra quiet. The peace I feel, urges me to walk gentler upon the whenua (land), slower and more conscious. I sense the mauri (life force) in this area more so and feel myself become more connected; a part of the ngahere. I honour the trees and then walk on to a look out, soaking up the splendid view. I continue down the stairs, and onto the beach, where the ripples from the waves are still imprinted upon the sand.

I returned to the track and wonder home. My thoughts are no longer in turmoil and my emotions don’t resemble a tangled ball of twine anymore. There is a peace that now settles upon me and I can see life more clearly. I notice an empty can of iced tea, tossed aside, laying empty upon the whenua. I pick it up, put it in the rubbish bin and make my way home.

So many tohu (signs)

People reminding me of the good life Zeus had.

The rottweiler, who pushed at me for snuggles, like Zeus used to.

Ripples upon the sand, like my thoughts and language spreading across the land.

Pohutukawa flowers, reminding me that seasons change and to trust the process.

Shattered rocks, a symbolism to let go, that not every burden is mine to carry.

Kererū and kōtare reminding me to look up and that I’m supported on the physical and spiritual planes.

The quiet ngahere, pulling me into the present moment - more conscious, becoming one with my surroundings.

The taiao (nature) has helped change how I feel within and returned me to my natural state. It’s helped hold my grief, replenish my thoughts, soothe my fears, awaken my compassion and brought more peace to my wairua (spirit).

Nature has a way of doing this. When we step outside, without the EarPods, podcasts, music and simply allow ourselves to be immersed in the beauty.

Are you a nature lover too?

If you had to choose between the ngahere, maunga (mountain) or moana (ocean)/awa (rivers), which would you choose?

I’m asking, but I’m not sure I can choose between the moana and ngahere!

If you think people would enjoy my musings, I’d love you to share them x

Love Letters To...

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 05:43:10 GMT

Have You Ever Received A Love Letter?

Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like, if we wrote love letters to ourselves each morning...

If an internal greeting of affection and reflection, was our very first connection.

If we wrote words of love, encouragement and hope, instead of never-ending to-do lists.

And we tended to our fears and frustrations, by pouring them onto the pages.
Would we no-longer project them onto our loved ones, colleagues or even a stranger?

Imagine if we acknowledged our resentment, guilt and the unhelpful stories, which swirl within our mind.

Would we feel less anxious and our mind more creative?

Would our body become less tense and might we have more time?

Would we begin to see ourselves differently and would this change of perspective, change how we see others?

Imagine if the people that trigger us, became our biggest teachers, and our relationships deepened.

Imagine releasing our negative beliefs upon the pages...

I'm alone.

It's my fault.

I'm a failure.

I'm unloveable.

I'm not good enough.

Would we begin to see ourselves as whole?

Would love blossom and compassion grow?

Imagine if our self-talk became kinder and our affirmations, a breeze to speak out loud.

I'm worthy.

I'm supported.

I forgive myself.

I'm loveable as I am.

I am good enough and always have been.

Imagine how our love letters would change over time...

Getting easier to write and more believable to feel...

Would we begin to fully acknowledge our strengths and sacred gifts.

Express promises, that encourage and uplift?

Imagine owning our uniqueness, embracing both, our darkness and our light.

Giving ourselves full permission, to step into what feels right.

Imagine all the knowledge that we've gained, transforming into knowing.

Our intuition guiding us, to where we're born to be.

Imagine speaking our truth, even when we're scared.

And going after our dreams, because they're no longer just thoughts in our heads.

Our love letters would change overtime, because we wouldn't be the same.

Our clarity and confidence would have grown and our worthiness reclaimed,

Imagine as we wrote, we gained awareness of all our stages.

And wildflowers began to sprout upon our well-used pages.

Come sit down, pull out your journal and allow your words to flow.

Let your love letters guide you. There is no rush. You’re simply returning home.

Cultivating more self-love can be a vulnerable space to explore.

Yet this is what I know for sure...

Self-love is a healer, a connector and a miracle worker.

It's also a doorway, to so much of what you crave within your life.

Would you like to get started and would like some support?
I'm here and I'd love to support you x

Try these four things to improve your relationship.

Thu, 18 Jul 2024 03:31:00 GMT

Often when you heal your wounds or at least become aware of them, the things that used to trigger you, can have less of an impact over time. This makes for a more loving and connected relationship.

There’s a mutual attraction.

Something draws you together.

You seem to share similar values.

Laugh at the same jokes.

Your friends think you make an amazing couple.

You’re both on cloud nine.

Over time situations occur which slightly deflate your love bubble.

You begin to struggle with the way your partner…

Reacts to situations.
Doesn’t listen and becomes defensive.
Walks out when you get into challenging conversations.
Is different, than when you first started seeing one another.

Situations become more challenging and finally your love bubble bursts.

You’re hurt. You begin to pull away or hold on tighter and you try everything in your power to make things better. Your relationship improves for a while and then, once again you’re back in the same loop. It’s good and then it’s not and you have no idea what to do.

You start to think, ‘it’s just not meant to be. Maybe I missed the signs at the beginning. Why does it have to be so hard?’

Your confidence feels crushed.

You don’t know how to fix things.

Everything begins to point to your relationship coming to an end.

Relationships can be so challenging. They’re often where your unhealed wounds will arise.

• The rejection you felt as a child.
• The hurt you experienced from a bully.
• The humiliation you suffered at school.
• The fear you felt, from the conflict you grew up within.

There are so many experiences that you may have felt in your younger years, which lay dormant until the perfect person comes along and reawakens them. That perfect person is often your number one. The person who made you feel so good at the beginning of your relationship.

Now they trigger the rejection, humiliation, hurt or fear that you felt as a child. Your unhealed wounds are opened wide and you’re left scampering, trying to ‘fix’ what you see as the problem. Which you often think is your partner. This is understandable, you haven’t felt your uncomfortable feelings for a long time and the link to them resurfacing, is your partner. Of course, this is where you have to place your focus.

Here’s the thing, getting your partner to change will pacify your triggers for a certain amount of time. Sooner or later though, your partner won’t be able to live up to your expectations and you’ll be triggered right back into the feelings you’ve tried to avoid.

Making your partner fully responsible for the way you feel within your relationships, will be a short-term fix. This dynamic can’t last forever and overtime the pressure becomes too much for the both of you and the relationship often crumbles.

This is when couples choose to go their own way. This decision can be for the best. They’re no longer at the mercy of wild emotions, hurtful outbursts and a toxic environment.

Some couples will see a small light at the end of the tunnel and decide to persevere. Nothing really changes though, yet it’s not bad enough to leave and so they struggle on.

Then there are couples that choose to ride the waves together, overcoming the storms and discovering a deeper, more satisfying connection through the process.

Here’s 4 things that these couples do differently…

They understand that relationships aren’t perfect, that sometimes they’re actually messy and this doesn’t mean they’re not worth working on.
They self-reflect, enabling them to see when their old feelings have been triggered and are driving their reactions.
They acknowledge and self-regulate, enabling them to respond, rather than react to the situation at hand.
They have individual interests and understand that this is healthy for their own well-being and the well-being of their relationship.

By doing these 4 things…

They’re more present.
They’re open to feedback.
They cultivate connection.
They practice vulnerability.
They don’t have to be right.
They know they’re not perfect.
They own their part in the problem.
They don’t blame their partner for how they feel.
They choose to respond as much as possible, rather than react.
Sometimes they forget all of the above, yet they reconnect as soon as possible.

Think about your own childhood for a moment. There would have been situations where your needs weren’t met, you didn’t receive the words you longed for or the comfort or safety you craved.

Often when you’re triggered in your relationship, you’re unconsciously trying to 1. Avoid similar feelings to when you were growing up 2. Trying to get your old unmet needs, met.

Without the awareness you can think it’s your partner that’s the problem and so you try fix what you feel is wrong so you no longer feel triggered.

A more empowering way to overcome the challenges in your relationship, is to acknowledge the feelings that are whirling within you and give yourself what you needed growing up.

It could be…

Words of affirmations.
Safety and security.
Stronger boundaries.
More self-care.
To be believed in.

By leaning into your internal world and making it a safe and comforting space, you have the ability to heal your wounds and in doing so, show up differently in your relationship.

Often when you heal your wounds or at least become aware of them, the things that used to trigger you, have less of an impact. This makes for a more loving and connected relationship.

Sometimes this can take a lot of perseverance and you may need extra support. Giving yourself what you needed growing up, can be a great place to start and can make a huge difference.

Here’s some questions that might help…

What wound might your partner be triggering within you?
Can you see a connection between your triggered feelings and how you felt as a child?
What did you need when you felt this way as a child?
How could you give this to yourself now?

Take some time to journal about these questions and go easy on yourself, healing takes time, yet in the long run it’s so, so worth it.

(It’s not only your intimate relationship that can trigger your childhood wounds. It could be a colleague, boss, child, parent or friend. All relationships have the ability to trigger our wounds and help us to heal.)

Right now, that person might be your biggest trigger, but as you do your inner work, they could become your biggest teacher and help transform your relationship to a whole new level of satisfaction.

What’s one thing you could do to support your relationship right now?

The benefits of owning your unique qualities.

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 23:56:00 GMT

Sometimes we get so comfy in our natural qualities, that as we move into different areas of our life, we continue to show up this way. These qualities may have been helpful in one area, like work, yet can hinder our experiences and relationships in others.

We draw on many different qualities during our day, some come naturally to us, like the highly driven woman who is focused, assertive, disciplined and capable, or the creative spirit, who finds is easy to be spontaneous, adaptable, tender and trusting.

Let’s take the highly driven woman, who has left work for the day. She arrives home, still embracing the qualities which supported her to get shit done through her day. She’s completed loads of tasks, organised her team and their upcoming projects and sat through a meeting, holding her space, where the ratio of women in the room, was far less than her male counterparts. She’s been on the go all day!

The qualities which have supported her throughout the day, are far from what she needs to now embody with her partner, yet she’s in these environments regularly and these qualities work for her. So as the evening unfolds, she finds herself staying within the confines of being focused, assertive, disciplined and capable. Her partner wants to help with dinner, she pushes him aside and is on a mission. He then tries to hug her; she’s focused on tidying up, she eats her dinner fast and effectively just like she works and when she finally hops into bed, sex is the last thing on her mind and any intimacy is dismissed.

She wants more connection, to be playful and spontaneous, yet the qualities she’s embodying lean towards a different outcome..

Now let’s take the creative spirit, she moves through life with an air of playfulness, shiny, sparkling things catch her attention often. She’s loving and supportive, able to adapt easily and people love the way she can bring ease and flow to stressful situations. She has big beautiful dreams that she would love to achieve, yet she never stays focused long enough to see them come to fruition. She wonders if success is for her and doubts her ability.

She wishes she was more focused and disciplined and could just be committed to fulfilling her wildest dreams, yet her behaviours and the qualities she’s so comfortable in, are sabotaging her success.

Both of these examples, show two different women who have incredible qualities. We can see how they complement their uniqueness and support them throughout their life. Yet other qualities which don’t come as naturally could support them even further.

Imagine the highly driven woman arriving home to her husband, and drawing on qualities like spontaneity, ease, flow or tenderness. She may experience more connection, laughter and intimacy within her relationship from this space.

Or the creative spirit, drawing on qualities like discipline, focus, boundaries and courage which could empower her to commit to a goal and see it to fruition.

We can be unaware that we’re not allowing more of what we want into our lives due to the way we’re being. We can think our partner is being dismissive or we haven’t found the right dream yet, when actually if we tweaked some of our behaviours, we’d get to create more of what we desire.

Sometimes we get so comfy in our natural qualities, that as we move into different areas of our life, we continue to show up this way. These qualities may have been helpful in one area, like work, yet can hinder our experiences and relationships in others.

She wants more connection, to be playful and spontaneous, yet the qualities she’s embodying lean towards a different outcome.

She wishes she was more focused and disciplined and could just be committed to fulfilling her wildest dreams, yet her behaviours and the qualities she’s so comfortable in, are sabotaging her success.

If you want to own your unique qualities more, Tracy’s article about mindfulness, self-care and daily rituals featured in The House of Wellness magazine and Stuff, is a great place to start!

Think of an area of your life you’d love to improve.

What qualities do you have that sabotage or hinder this area?
What qualities could you embrace more, which could improve this area?
Explore you and your qualities, which ones have you simmered down or outright rejected and why?
Which ones do you need to simmer down, so you can embrace others?
Is there a quality you would love to let go of and one you’d like to own more of?

You are unique and so, so incredible, have a play with this and notice what unfolds, and if you’re keen to explore this topic further then please get in touch! I’d love to support you!

The benefits Of Being Creative

Sat, 11 Jun 2022 09:38:00 GMT

For years I didn’t believe that I was creative. I saw so many people around me creating beauty with their hands, a paint brush, clay, a pencil, in their kitchen, and through their businesses. I saw creativity everywhere. I wished, longed for and dreamed of being creative, yet nothing ever seemed to unfold as I imagined.

There was however, one place where time stood still and I could lose myself. It often happened early in the morning or late at night. Then I found it happening after I’d worked with a client or overcome a challenge. This place was in the pages of my journals. Often my pen could not keep up with the steam of thoughts that flowed from my mind, down my arm, into my hand and finally upon the pages. At times I’d read the words I’d written and wonder where they came from.

But then like a sunset slowly disappearing beneath the horizon, the connection between my inner world and my pen would disappear. And once again, I would find myself wishing, longing and dreaming of being fully immersed in a world of creative words.

I’ve found that allowing my words to flow freely, has given me the freedom to forgive, heal and grow. It’s not that I have spoken these words to my rivals and given them the gift of forgiveness. I have simply written about what occurred and in doing so, uncovered the truth of why I have found myself in these situations. It is awareness that has allowed me to forgive, myself. And as I let go of the shame, the pain and the sorrow, I heal and I grow too.

Sometimes when I’m upset or triggered, I grab my pen and journal. As my thoughts pour out, the pages I fill, become damp with tears of frustration. The more I write, the less I cry and everything becomes clearer. It’s as if with each word written, my mind and body is emptied and then replenished with newfound awareness and optimism.

I’ve found that writing about my hopes and dreams, allows me to imagine so much more than if I kept my wishes locked within my mind. As my pen flows across the page, excitement bubbles up within my belly, rises and unlocks my heart and from this space my mind is wide open, to so many possibilities.

Yes maybe there is a chance that creativity hasn’t bypassed me, because to believe that I am not creative, is to dismiss, the awareness, the healing and the growth, which has unfolded, as I’ve honoured the words that rise up to be heard.
