    I had a wig fitting today in preparation for my stem cell transplant. What do you think? You'd never know 😉 #Cancer #myeloma #preparation

    When I find out the name of the school sanctioning a child in care who fought back after being bullied by removing access to a hot meal I shall make a lot of noise!Withdrawing food as a 'punishment' from ANY child, let alone a child in care, is abuse! We must never tolerate this

    For anyone is 'underwhelmed' by the @JohnLewisRetail ad as I've read on a LinkedIn post...

    We need a national conversation about the mental health epidemic facing our children and young people. Guess what? The answer does not lie in CAMHS. The answer does not lie in pathologising our CYP. The answers for most children lie in focusing on supporting good MH and wellbeing

    I took a complimentary copy of my book round to my mother's. I said "are you inviting me in for a tea?" Much mumbling about being busy followed and that was that. Complicated relationships remain so. Emotional unavailability remains so. Even at 51, I sometimes still feel it.

    There is something inherently misogynistic about being told by a male GP that you need a blood test to prove you're in the menopause. Nobody told me I'd have have to deal with such nonsense. Why are we are not talking about this???

    If I hear of another setting saying they've 'done' trauma training I think I shall combust! 1. It's never done. It is a constant reflection and inquiry. 2. It is not a tick box exercise. It is a way of being that requires deep exploration 3. Your trainer needs to make this clear

    A 'trauma' lens invites us to look at structural inequalities, inequity and social structures. A 'mental health' lens locates the problem within the individual as something that sits inside them, that the individual has. This narrative is everywhere I look. This must be resisted.

    5. I have, however, been asked to remove my tweet. I will not. I am not here to blame. I am highlighting a practice that needs calling out and must not be ignored. It is an employees market. Refuse to engage in this practice. You are not easily replaced! Take a stand!

    People often ask me is it worth it? (Doing a #PhD in my 50s). It has sharpened me in every way; my work, my thinking, my knowledge base, my approaches, my absolute dedication to why I do what I do and have been committed to for over 3 decades. Yes, I reply, very bloody worth it!

    When arriving to a hotel breakfast, I'm invariably asked "is it just you"? I've taken to responding "no my lovely. It is me. All of me." This is received with jubilation by women and utter confusion by men. Be fabulous today. Whatever that looks like for you ❤️
