Kindness On Purpose has now concluding its program delivery in 2026.
Thank you to the many schools and communities who were part of this work.
As parents, educators, leaders and just people, we all feel fear. We know that the greatest gift we can give our relationships is to be vulnerable. Being able to talk about fears is a key step to being open and authentically connected. Talking about our own vulnerabilities is a direct invitation to the other person to share their own fears. Whether it is a parent /child, educator/ student, executive / staff relationship; when you talk about your fear you are creating an opportunity to take your relationship to a place where real engagement, connection, safety, learning and wellbeing occurs.
Motherhood can be a place of such extremes. The joy and the wonder that I feel as I simply watch my girls just breathing, the detail of their eye lashes, the way they say their words is just exquisite. Watching them learn, discover and flourish is something that I will never tire of.
The sadness that comes when I perceive myself as having failed them in some way can be quite immense. And the roar of the inner lioness when I am protecting them surprises even me sometimes.
In my clinical practice I talk to so many mothers. Mothers who have won and mothers who have lost.
