We live in a world that moves too fast — chasing goals, measuring success, and pushing at a pace that often forgets to breathe.

For so long, I tried to keep up. To meet expectations, to prove my worth, to achieve more. But somewhere along the way, I realised I’d stopped listening to myself.

So lately, I’ve been asking — what would it feel like to move at my own pace?

To slow down. To listen. To trust my inner rhythm.
It feels like freedom. Like permission. Like coming home to myself.

That’s what I want Giddy Garden to be — a place where we can step off the treadmill, reconnect, and remember there’s another way to live. One that flows with who we are, not who we’re told to be. 🌿✨

From my own experience of getting up on stage and sharing deeply vulnerable stories, I know how terrifying it can feel. Stories laced with so much shame that I never thought I would speak them aloud, stories I feared might cost me love, connection, or belonging if people saw the flawed, messy, wounded parts of me.

Shame is such a driver for secrecy. It festers under the masks we wear, gaining more power the more we push it away. And yet, shame is part of being human. Most of us have done things we’re not proud of. What I discovered, through speaking those stories again and again as I rehearsed, wrote, and read them aloud, was that each time the ickiness inside grew softer. Eventually, it quieted down. I began to see myself with more compassion, even to understand the protective mechanisms that had led to some of my shameful actions.

By the time I stepped onto the stage, I wasn’t trying to be perfect anymore. I was tired of hiding behind who I thought others wanted me to be. And what I found was that showing these parts of myself wasn’t just healing for me, it was a gift to others. Because we all carry shame. We all have moments where our inner children rear up, stressed or unskilled, and we do things we wish we hadn’t.

The same has been true with grief. Our culture has pushed grief into silence, hidden behind closed doors, when it used to be witnessed and supported in community. Sharing my grief in a raw and unfiltered way on stage was one of the most healing experiences of my life. Each rehearsal, my body shook, tears streaming. But I kept going, because I could feel how much this process was moving me through.

When wounds are spoken, whether in friendship, in community, or on the OUTSPOKEN stage, they loosen their grip. They soften. They become easier to hold. OUTSPOKEN has been such a powerful container for this, not just for me but for so many others. Healing ripples through the room, for the one speaking, and for those listening who quietly whisper, “me too.”

It’s so common to hear avoidant, anxious, or disorganised attachment talked about as if one is “better” than the others, demonising particular insecure attachment styles that might challenge you or differ from your own. I've been there! But let's re-frame this. These are not flaws. They’re coping and protective strategies we learned in childhood. They are ways we adapted to the dynamics of our families or other relationships to feel safe.

Now as adults, those same strategies play out in our relationships. That doesn’t make us villains. It makes us human.

The real shift happens when we stop pointing fingers at our partners and start taking accountability for our own part. When we notice our patterns, bring awareness to them, and choose to update the ones that no longer serve us. That’s how we build self-trust, and eventually, more secure and connected relationships.

Blame and shame only make us more defensive and closed (and our partners more defensive and closed). Curiosity and compassion open the door to understanding each other’s perspectives and ourselves. None of us asked for these attachment strategies, but it is our responsibility to bring awareness to and change them if we want to create healthier, thriving connections.

We are not here to repeat the old stories of silence, suppression, and “don’t feel.” We are here to do it differently, to meet ourselves and each other with care, and grow together. 🌱

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the difference between boundaries and walls.

For much of my life, I’ve had walls up. They were protective mechanisms, armour built from past hurts and conditioning. And they did their job, they kept me safe. But they also kept me stuck. Because while those walls kept pain out, they also kept love and connection out.

That’s the paradox of walls: the part of me that craves closeness and trust ends up creating more disconnection by shutting people out. The scared, untrusting part wants to avoid being taken advantage of… but it ends up isolating me instead.

I’ve learned that boundaries are completely different. Boundaries don’t shut people out, they show them the way in. They let people know this is what I need to feel safe, respected, and cared for.

And when we express boundaries with clarity, kindness, and self-respect, people often respond well. Boundaries honour both sides, because they invite real consent, not obligation, keeping us in integrity.

You can feel the difference in the energy of boundaries vs walls:
✨ Boundaries are open, rooted in trust.
✨ Walls are closed, wrapped in fear.

Boundaries invite connection while protecting your heart. Walls protect too, but at the cost of intimacy.

I’m learning that boundaries are love and trust, for myself, and for the people I want to be in real relationship with.

There’s something magical about the weird parts of you that don’t quite fit the mould.
The quirky ideas, the offbeat sense of humour, the way your mind works in spirals instead of straight lines.
Maybe you’ve spent years trying to smooth out your edges, blend in, or be a little more “normal” but what if the very things that make you weird are also your greatest gifts?

Your uniqueness isn’t a flaw to fix. It’s a spark that shows what lights you up.
It’s the part of you that’s naturally creative, naturally curious, naturally you.
What makes you different from everyone else is often what makes you shine.
Your weirdness can be the thing that draws your people in, that inspires someone else to feel brave enough to be themselves too.

At Giddy Garden, we believe in celebrating what makes you you and letting it thrive.
Because the world doesn’t need more of the same, it needs people who are unapologetically themselves.
Whether it’s your wild ideas, your unconventional ways of connecting, your ability to turn everyday moments into adventures, or the way you can transform a room just by being present... lean into it.
Whatever makes you weird is also what makes you wonderful.
We love weird!
And we think weird is worth celebrating.

So next time you feel the urge to tone it down or fit in, remember: Your weirdness is what makes you unforgettable. 🌱✨

"Creativity is intelligence having fun."
— Albert Einstein

Creative intelligence lives inside all of us. You just have to find what yours looks like.
When we allow ourselves to create playfully, without judgment, without rigid outcomes, we access a deeper wisdom.... a spark.

Every workshop, performance, and gathering we design is a playground for this kind of creative intelligence: a space where imagination leads the way, curiosity is celebrated, and experimentation is welcomed. Expect some weird and whacky creative events that come from the quirky minds of our team.
