Speaking out of turn

Date 15 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
If we're going to speak out, say what we feel, we must say it loud enough for others to hear, to express an opinion on the things that matter to us, on the things we care about. It’s perfectly acceptable to say something and that’s different to speaking out of…

Correcting attitudes

Date 14 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
The uncertainty of what’s currently going on in the UK, in the States and in the wider world, forces us to rethink our mood, our lives, our families and makes what we get to deal with even more uncertain. Where things could change things and us be supportive, that’s clearly…

Our secret lives

Date 11 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Our secret lives are just that, secret. Our secrets are based on information that we know about but we don’t talk about. And although that’s not always bad and it may sometimes be necessary, it very much depends on the secret and whether the secret we’re keeping is going to…

Parents of convenience

Date 8 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
When parents do things at their own convenience, they're being a parent when it's convenient. They will distance themselves emotionally.

I've got your back

Date 3 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle

Learning to listen

Date 28 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
We listen on our own terms. We listen, not to understand or to hear, but to jump at the opportunity for us to speak again, whether that means agreeing to what’s being said, or by putting in our penny’s worth. We take conversations the way we want them to go.…

Date 20 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle

The right thing to do

Date 14 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
If we’re given information that could go on to change a person’s life, we must put that person’s needs first before our own, even if it meant our own scenario were to change. That is what the universe would expect us to do. And even though it may bring uncertainty,…
