“The Ghosts We Carry”

Some ghosts don’t haunt houses. They live in us. 👻

Last Thursday, I hosted a small gathering called The Ghosts We Carry.

We explored something many of us don’t even realise we’re holding on to.

Old hurts.
Fears we can’t quite explain.
Beliefs about ourselves that we’ve carried for years.
Patterns we keep repeating, even when we know they’re not helping us.

What I loved most about the evening was seeing how simply looking at something differently can change so much.

We don’t always need to fix ourselves.

Sometimes, we just need to understand why we feel, think or react the way we do.

The lovely messages I received afterwards meant so much. ❤️

They reminded me why I love doing this work.

Because sometimes, the things weighing us down aren’t what’s happening in our lives today.

They’re things we’ve been carrying for years without even realising it.

And once we begin to see them, we have a choice about whether we want to keep carrying them.

Have you ever reacted to something and later wondered, “Why did that affect me so much?”

There might be more to that reaction than you think.

What are we really holding on to?

Sometimes it’s not the situation that’s exhausting us. It’s what we’re hoping to get from it.

We want someone to understand us.
To appreciate what we do.
To behave differently.
To reassure us that everything will be okay.

And when that doesn’t happen, we feel hurt, anxious or frustrated.

I’ve noticed that beneath so much of this is a need to feel loved, valued or safe.

Perhaps you learnt early on that love had to be earned. Or that staying in control was the only way to feel secure.

And without realising it, you’re still living by those old rules.

I see this in my work, and I recognise it in myself too.

We spend so much energy trying to change what’s happening around us, hoping it will make us feel better inside.

But sometimes the more useful question isn’t “Why won’t things change?”

It’s “What am I so afraid of not getting?”

Love? Approval? Reassurance? A sense of being enough?

It’s worth sitting with that question.

Because sometimes understanding why we’re holding on is the beginning of being able to let go.

Are You Living the Life You Want? How much of the life we’re living is actually the life we want?

I’ve been reading the ‘Convenience Store Woman’ by Sayaka Murata.

It’s about a 36-year-old woman who’s worked in the same convenience store for 18 years.

She likes her job, enjoys her routine and isn’t particularly interested in marriage or chasing a bigger career.

But everyone around her thinks there’s something wrong with that.

What struck me was that she seemed quite content. It was everyone else who had a problem with her choices.

It made me think about how early we learn what makes us acceptable.

As children, we learn what makes our parents proud, what gets us approval and what disappoints people.

And without realising it, we start shaping ourselves around those expectations.

We carry this into adulthood.

We chase success, try to be good partners, parents and professionals, and sometimes forget to ask ourselves whether any of it is what we actually want.

I see this so often in my work with women.

Women who’ve done everything they thought they should, yet still feel something isn’t quite right.

Sometimes it’s not that anything is missing.

It’s that we’ve spent so long meeting expectations, we’ve forgotten to question whose they were in the first place.

If nobody expected anything of you, would you still choose the life you’re living?

The stories we tell ourselves can become so familiar that we stop questioning them.

I’m not good enough.
I always get things wrong.
I need to keep everyone happy.
If I stop making the effort, people will leave.
I should be doing more.

Sound familiar?

We carry these beliefs for years, often without realising how much they influence our choices.

We say yes when we want to say no. We stay silent to avoid upsetting someone. We look for approval and feel guilty when we put ourselves first.

And somewhere along the way, we start believing this is just who we are.

But what if it isn’t?

What if these are simply stories we picked up along the way? Stories that once helped us feel safe, loved or accepted.

Perhaps they served a purpose then.

But do they still?

The interesting thing is, once we begin to recognise these patterns, we also begin to realise we have a choice.

Just because you’ve always believed something about yourself doesn’t mean it’s true.

And just because you’ve always been a certain way doesn’t mean that’s who you have to remain.

Sometimes the biggest change begins when we question a story we’ve believed our entire lives.

What if the questions you ask yourself are keeping you stuck?

Think about how often we ask ourselves-

Why does this always happen to me?
Why am I not good enough?
What if I fail?
Why can’t I get things right?

And without realising it, we start looking for evidence to support those thoughts.

Tony Robbins talks about the power of changing the questions we ask ourselves.

Instead of “Why does this always happen to me?”
Try “What can I learn from this?”

Instead of “What if I fail?”
Try “What might happen if I succeed?”

And one question I particularly love:

What am I willing to stop doing?

We’re so used to believing that change requires us to do more.

But sometimes it’s about doing less.

Less people-pleasing.
Less self-criticism.
Less questioning our worth.
Less holding on to beliefs that no longer serve us.

Of course, these patterns don’t disappear overnight. Many have been with us for years, quietly influencing how we think, feel and behave.

A lot of my work is about recognising these patterns and understanding where they began.

So perhaps today, pay attention to the questions you keep asking yourself.

Are they helping you grow, or keeping you in the same familiar story?

Are you giving because you want to, or because you find it hard to say no?

Something I’ve noticed with many of my clients is how easily they put everyone else’s needs before their own.

They’re always available. Always helping. Always making sure everyone else is okay.

And often, they don’t think twice about it.

Until they’re exhausted, frustrated or quietly resentful.

What I find interesting is that many of these people are confident and capable in other areas of their lives. They can make difficult decisions at work, but saying no to a friend or family member brings up so much guilt.

Sometimes, this goes back to what we learnt growing up.

Maybe we were praised for being the good child, the helpful one, the one who never caused trouble.

Maybe keeping everyone happy was how we kept the peace.

And somewhere along the way, we learnt to put ourselves last.

There’s nothing wrong with being generous or caring for others.

But there’s a difference between giving because you genuinely want to and giving because you’re afraid of disappointing someone.

You can care deeply about others without constantly putting yourself last.

Something to think about.

How often do you say yes when you really want to say no?

And what are you afraid might happen if you don’t?

I’ve realised there’s a difference between:

“I can do it myself.”
and
“I only feel safe when I do it myself.”

For so many of us, receiving can actually feel harder than giving.

Receiving help without feeling guilty.
Receiving a compliment without brushing it away.
Letting someone else take care of something.
Saying I need you without feeling weak.
Resting without having to earn it first.

When you’ve spent years being capable and self-sufficient, being supported can feel strangely vulnerable.

I’ve had to notice this in myself too.

The answer isn’t becoming less independent. I love that part of me.

It’s learning that I don’t always have to prove my strength by carrying everything.

Sometimes growth isn’t about doing more.

Sometimes it’s allowing yourself to receive.

What’s harder for you- Asking for help or actually receiving it when it comes?

05/10/2026

There are parts of myself I’ve worked really hard to change.

I’ve understood them. Talked about them. Challenged the beliefs underneath them.

And yet sometimes… the same old reaction still shows up.

I used to think that meant I hadn’t done enough work.

I don’t anymore.

Because not everything we carry started with us.

Long before we’re old enough to question anything, we’re learning.

What gets us love.
What gets us approval.
Whether it’s safe to take up space.
Whether rest needs to be earned.
Whether our worth comes from simply being… or from what we do for everyone else.

And sometimes those beliefs didn’t even begin with our parents. They were handed to them too.

Lately I’ve been sitting with a different question.

Instead of “Why am I still like this?”

I’m asking:

“Where did I learn that I had to be?”

That small shift has changed something for me.

Because we don’t only inherit the difficult stuff.

We inherit strength. Humour. Courage. Resilience. Love. The parts of our families that survived and kept going.

Maybe the work isn’t about rejecting where we came from.

Maybe it’s about choosing.

What do I want to keep?

And what am I finally ready to put down?

This is so much of the work we explore at SixthSense. 🤍

Maybe you’re not ‘just stressed’

We use the word “stressed” for almost everything.

I know I do.

But I’ve started noticing that what I call stress isn’t always stress.

Sometimes it’s anxiety- I don’t know what’s going to happen.

Sometimes it’s stress - too much is being asked of me and I don’t feel like I have enough capacity.

Sometimes it’s pressure - something important is at stake and I feel like the outcome depends on me.

Sometimes it’s fear - something feels unsafe.

And sometimes it’s overwhelm - I’m simply full. Too many thoughts, feelings and demands at once.

They can all feel similar in the body.

But they don’t need the same thing.

Anxiety may need reassurance or a greater tolerance for uncertainty.

Stress may need fewer demands or more support.

Pressure may need us to loosen our grip on the outcome.

Fear may need safety.

Overwhelm may simply need space.

This is something I come back to often in my work.

Before trying to fix what you’re feeling, get curious about what it actually is.

Because the more accurately we can name what’s happening inside us, the better we can understand what our nervous system is asking for.

So instead of:

“Why am I so stressed?”

Try:

“What am I actually feeling right now, and what might I need?”

Sometimes that tiny distinction changes everything.

28/09/2026

We’re not exhausted because we’re doing too much.

We’re exhausted because we’re watering everyone else’s garden,
and wondering why ours feels so dry.

We show up.
We help.
We listen.
We fix.
We make sure everyone else is okay.

And somewhere along the way, we quietly move ourselves to the bottom of the list.

The answer isn’t to stop caring about other people.

It’s to stop abandoning yourself while you do it.

Maybe today, before you pour into someone else, ask:

What needs watering in me?

You might be surprised by the answer. 🌱
