Founder's Journal | "Sometimes, the smallest things remind us why we started.”

There are moments in this journey of building Papilio when I get so caught up in the work that I forget to stop and reflect on the bigger picture.🦋

Recently, I received a thank-you note from one of the students I supervise. It was one of those moments that made me pause.🌱

I thought about the time, effort, and energy that go into supervision. The hours spent marking, giving feedback, and trying to make sure that I am doing my part in preparing the next generation of social workers. And I thought about how easy it is to become consumed by the demands of something you care deeply about.✨️

I believe that when we are passionate about what we do, we sometimes carry the responsibility of wanting to get it right so seriously that we forget to acknowledge the small moments that make the journey worthwhile.💫

This note was one of those moments for me.
It reminded me that not every meaningful moment in this journey will come with a big announcement or a milestone to celebrate. Sometimes, it is a quiet moment that reminds you why you said yes in the first place.🌿

I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of someone else's journey of becoming. There is something special about knowing that the knowledge and experience we gather throughout our own careers can be shared with others who are finding their feet in the profession.🌈

And perhaps that is one of the things I want to keep reminding myself of as I continue building Papilio and growing in the different roles I carry: to make room for the moments worth celebrating, even in the middle of the busy seasons.🌸

Today, this is one of those moments.
And I am choosing to be grateful for it.🙌

To our matriculants ❤️

I know this season comes with a lot of pressure, long hours, tired minds and moments when you might even doubt yourself. But I want you to remember that you have come this far for a reason.💫

Take it one day at a time. Do what you can, take breaks when you need to, breathe when things feel overwhelming, and don't be too hard on yourself. You are allowed to feel tired, nervous and uncertain. It doesn't mean you are not capable.✨️

Your matric results are important, but they do not define your worth or determine everything your future holds. You are so much more than a mark on a report.🦋

I pray that God gives you strength when you feel tired, peace when you feel anxious, and wisdom as you prepare for each exam. Trust Him, but also remember to trust the effort you have put in.🙏

We are proud of you, and we are rooting for you! 🌸

You've got this, one paper at a time. ❤️

This World Mental Health Day, let's make space for the mental health of our children, too. 💚

Not every struggle is visible. Sometimes, the child who is laughing the loudest is the one who doesn't know how to express what they are feeling.❤️‍🩹

Children need adults who are willing to listen, look beyond their behaviour and create a safe space for their emotions.💫

They don't always have the words, but that doesn't mean they don't have something to say.✨️

Let's give our children permission to feel, the safety to speak and the support they need to know they are not alone.🦋

Behind every testimonial is a story of trust, growth and change. 🤍

These words from clients remind me why I do what I do, creating a safe space, listening beyond the behaviour, meeting people where they are, and using therapeutic interventions that are intentional and meaningful.

From children finding their voice through play, to parents gaining a deeper understanding of their child, to adults working through their own challenges, therapy is not about having all the answers. It’s about walking alongside you while change takes place.

I’m grateful to every client who has trusted me with a part of their story. 🌿

Professional knowledge. Therapeutic experience. A heart for people.

Creating opportunities for our children to discover their gifts, build confidence, learn responsibility and believe that they can do something with what’s been placed inside of them. 💫

My own little entrepreneur exhibiting her sweet treats at the BBC Kids Bazaar.😋

Thank you Kenny for investing in the next generation. 🙌

From the therapy room to the marketplace… we’re creating spaces where children can learn, grow and spread their wings. 🦋

Tiny toys. Big feelings. Safe spaces.
The magic of play therapy is letting little ones speak in the language they know best: Play😉

🖤 ALL BLACK FOR WOMEN 🖤

Today, we stopped. We listened. We remembered.

Our fourth-year social work student read a poem that brought a moment of reflection and silence.

Candles was lit, each flame representing a life, a story, and a reminder of the women, children and families affected by violence.

May we never become comfortable with violence.
May we keep speaking.
May we keep listening.
May we keep choosing safety, respect and dignity.

Our Fourth Year Social Work student, together with a guest speaker from Goeie Hoop Psychological Services, facilitated a mental health awareness programme with Grade 7 learners.

We focused on mental health, cyberbullying and the impact of social media, creating a safe space for learners to talk, listen and learn.

Their feelings matter. Their voices matter. They matter. 💚

Today, my business baby turns 4. 🎂🙏

When I look at her now, I don't just see a business.💫🌱

I see answered prayers.🙏
I see perseverance.🙌
I see God's grace.⚓️

I see four years of learning, stretching, falling, getting back up and continuing.🦋⚓️

So if you're in the beginning stages of something right now, a business, a dream, a calling, a new chapter, keep on believing in your dream, in your abilities and trust the process. But most importantly keep the faith.

Four years later, I am still learning. Still growing. Still trusting. Still building.🌿🌷

And just like a child at four… we are only getting started.😎😉

Happy 4th birthday, Papilio Play Therapy Services!🌈🙌
