Inviting Change
October 10 2025
Change. It’s a word that can bring both excitement and dread, often in equal measure. For some of us, change feels like a natural step. There’s a clear knowing deep within that something in our life no longer aligns with who we truly are, so we step forward, confident in the decision. But for some of us, myself included, change doesn’t ask for permission, it comes knocking even when it wasn’t …

Becoming Wise

There comes a time in life where you may find yourself questioning it all. How did I get here? Why do I feel the way that I do? Will this ever end? Is this what life is? There came a point in my life where everything began to change uncontrollably. I used to call that part of my life ‘everything falling apart’. I now see it as ‘everything coming together’. And that doesn’t mean I now live a life …
There comes a time in life where you may find yourself questioning it all. How did I get here? Why do I feel the way that I do? Will this ever end? Is this what life is? There came a point in my life where everything began to change uncontrollably. I used to call that part of my life ‘everything falling apart’. I now see it as ‘everything coming together’. And that doesn’t mean I now live a life free from worry! Not at all, I too still face many challenges.

As a psychologist, I’ve spent years working with incredible people, listening to their stories, and learning from their experiences. My own journey has been equally transformative. As I’ve walked - and continue to walk - the path of healing, I’ve discovered firsthand that growth isn’t linear. Healing is messy, unpredictable and it’s deeply personal. It’s a series of steps forward, often followed by a few steps back. But it’s through this very process that I’ve come to understand myself more deeply. And it’s this understanding, this shared experience of growth and healing, that inspired me to create WYSEbymonique.
