Postcard people

I had such a refreshing conversation last week with a woman about honesty. We agreed that we –as women, need to be more honest with each other about what’s REALLY going on in our lives. That way we don’t compare ourselves to the person who we are talking to who has this effortlessly “flawless” life, even though it’s rarely the case.

I call them “postcard people”. On the back of the postcard with the blue sky, turquoise water and white sand there’s a message that reads “Weathers been great, loving the food, its paradise”. Even though the prawns they had last night gave them food poisoning, their wallet got stolen and they haven’t stopped fighting with their partner.


Perhaps your husband bought you flowers BUT we had an argument about him not pulling his weight around the house. Or yes your job is fantastic BUT your boss is being an absolute nightmare which is causing you to lose sleep.


And there is nothing wrong with any of those things! It’s called LIFE! Nobody is perfect.


Let’s create a trusting and nonjudgmental environment to open up to each other and be supported. Competitiveness is SO high school.


Today I felt a bit overwhelmed and exhausted, but then I went for a walk in the sunshine with my good friend and now feel really uplifted. Now you try... xx
