#DecolonisingWellbeing 👨‍👦Thank you, dad. 👨‍👨‍👦‍👦Feminism and liberation for all genders is not just for gender marginalised people. When we divest from gender-based violence and norms, we not only free those who are directly oppressed by these issues, but also free those who might not realise they are oppressed by harmful patriarchal norms while benefiting from them, such as fathers. For example, fathers might feel the pressure to be the sole ‘breadwinners’ of their fa

💔Expecting communities to be entirely free of conflict, disagreements, arguments, fights, and misalignments is unrealistic and counter to our human tendencies. Especially in a world we are trying to decolonise in tangible ways, we should not only face these human challenges, but anticipate them. We must remember that the end goal of our movements is liberation  for all our intersectional causes, and a world where all can embrace our differences together. We will never get th

🫂 Though our ancestral rage and sadness must be felt and validated, sometimes we need to humble ourselves - especially when it comes to our own blood. We deserve to hold our predecessors accountable for the harms towards us that they were responsible for, and traumas they passed down onto us, in order to mitigate further suffering and heal ourselves. At the same time, reserving some grace and forgiveness for those who sincerely did their best with the tools they had at the t

😡 Let’s get this straight, first and foremost: arguments and conflict are going to be part of life, no matter what. It’s part of being a child, parent, sibling, decision-maker, changemaker, visionary, coworker, friend, romantic partner, and human. As discussed in last week’s post on Generational Trauma , there can be so many barriers to healing. If we value diversity, a bit of human conflict once in a while should be anticipated, as part of our human balance. Thus, instead o

Does history really ‘repeat itself?’ What if we were able to change its course by breaking the status quo through radical healing? When we honour and let go of our past, and take responsibility for our present, we realise our power to shape a better future. Generational trauma, as the name suggests, develops over time with every generation. If trauma wounds remain unhealed by the previous generation, it gets passed down. It might go as follows… …individuals/communities inheri

🧠‘Wellbeing’ is not only about ‘going to therapy’ and participating in Western psychological interventions. Though these interventions work for some, they are not necessarily appropriate for all contexts. For example, while verbally expressing your feelings to a therapist using frameworks like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a respectable care practice, not everyone feels comfortable expressing their emotions in formal therapy settings. 🌏Humans have been using so man

👩‍💻It’s #CybersecurityMonth which means we’ve been thinking a lot about #DigitalHygiene and #Wellbeing. Though staying informed about the world around us is just as important as ever, we must always remember that wellbeing is all about #Balance.  ⏰ One way to do this is by setting digital boundaries, such as by setting #ScreenTime limitations and taking breaks. 😰We can also make conscious efforts to try to use device-free self-soothing and stress management techniques, ins
