about

Big love to everyone during these weird times. With the amount of stress going around, I wanted to share a little story with you:

I'm a teacher but have suffered with anxiety in the past, the idea of public speaking, even though I've hosted and performed at so many nights, was a serious challenge to me and starting my job 2 years ago. I learnt slowly but surely it was about my mind set and how to channel that anxiety into energy that could help me teach/present to anyone. A big part of the philosophy of best patient care is considering 'What's important to you?' to inidividualise what we do for everyone we care for, because we're all different and important.

In my teaching now I use a lot of my poetry and perform a piece about what was important to me when I had anxiety about presenting to some of the leaders in our Trust. It was a pair of socks that got me through it, sounds odd, but they felt like they gave me power! I hope you're all staying well and can find goodness/power in people and random things like I did, during these challenging times ❤

lyrics

I wore my multi-coloured African print socks today
To help my anxiety
I put them on and my feet felt clarity
Power socks did their job
Toes aligned for greatness
Brain more capable to endure my looming presentation
Public speaking
Fuelled by secret ankle, heel and toe support
Fiery, celebratory and bright
Almost luminous
I survived and my socks kicked ass
Anxiety ass kicked
By my socks
Christmas present win, cheers Mum
