A woman with a voice is, by definition, a strong woman
Melinda GatesWelcome to The She Room!
I invite you to come in, kick off your shoes and make yourself comfortable.
A quick background story. The She Room initially began a few years ago as a more feminine shaped blog for women. More recently, as I reflected on the nature of my work with my clients – both male and female – as well as what captures my attention and influences my writing, I realised that what was being offered in The She Room was not just ‘women’s business’.
It has become time to open the door to the men and invite them to join us as we explore the struggle and challenges of being human and in relationship with each other. So, if you are a man and have found your way here, please stay and have a look around. The furnishings may still look a little feminine but hopefully the conversation will feel inclusive. If anything doesn’t particularly resonate, consider it a window into a woman’s experience and use it to enrich the relationships with the females in your life.
So welcome everyone! My aim, as always, is to provide you with freedom and space; room to allow yourself to contemplate, explore and think about what it is like to be you in your world. A place for us to find our freedom in who we are, to recognise our inherent value and worth. A place in which to uncover what has shaped us, what has helped us, what has held us back, what has hurt us.
The She Room is about community; it’s about gathering together, being curious together, learning together, getting stronger together. I hope you enjoy your time here.

Curiosity killed the cat – really?

Comparison

Silence
Silence - the beauty or the beast? Beautiful silence - an experience of peace, stillness, rest. The space in which to permit oneself the luxury to just be, to breathe. This silence does not demand of you, it simply allows. It creates room to stretch and luxuriate in...
