Navigating Change and Uncertainty When we face change or uncertainty, distinguishing between fear and intuition can be challenging. Both emotions can feel overwhelming, but they originate from very different places. This morning, I encountered a reel from Dr. Gabor Maté that resonated with me deeply, especially as I navigate a potential significant change in my life. The key difference to note is the charge behind our fears. It's easy to get caught in a fear state, looping t

Navigating Difficult Communication Without Absorbing It I'm sure we can all think of a time where we walked away from a conversation...

Anger is a powerful and often misunderstood emotion. Far from being a simple or solely negative reaction, anger is frequently a complex response to deeper feelings such as grief, sadness, disappointment, or a sense of being let down. Recognizing this connection is crucial in addressing anger constructively and preventing its escalation into destructive forms. The Roots of Anger Anger is commonly perceived as a direct and aggressive response to external provocations. However,

I woke early this morning and spent some time in my journal asking what I could contribute to the world today that was free and would be of value and use. What came to me was something I often have to remind myself of and when I look back over my growth over the past decade, I can see this rings true. Change occurs through regular tiny actions. When we are on a growth journey, and I find this especially true for those of us who had fractured relationships with caregivers, we

No one ever told me that by having kids that I would go through a re-parenting of myself. It's not really something spoken about at least not when I had my first over a decade ago. I think one of the biggest challenges of parenting is learning how to be the parent we want to be whilst working out how to re-program our default settings from our childhood. There's a beautiful quote from Esther Perel "tell me how you were loved, and I'll tell you how you love". I find these word

Bear mode. When you can't be f'd doing much at all. When tiredness hits you like a ton of bricks and you just want peace and quiet. About 18 months ago at a women's circle I saw this young woman who said she was in sparkle mode. "What on earth is she talking about?" I said to myself. I was so intrigued by her energy and I knew there was a calling towards her. Thank you to social media I was able to stumble upon this amazing woman and her creation, soul modes. Carlie Maree ent

As a child I never understood why my older brother was the favourite. I saw his connection and ease with my parents as unfair and a sign he was more liked than me. But as a parent myself I can see how the connection with each child differs. I can see where you have similar values it becomes easier to play and connect. My husband is a lover of video games so that is a deep bond he and our son share. One I can never really get into. I can however connect to my girls who love to

Hearing the quick headlines today about our coronavirus numbers in Victoria it is really disheartening. Talk about a test of faith! To be in this second lockdown and have our biggest numbers yet is a real mind f*@k. I can choose to be pulled into the doom and gloom or I can choose to feel the shitty feelings then dust myself off and get going again. The fact I have 3 young kids means the doom and gloom attitude is not an option. So what has gone so wrong in Victoria? Why have

Wow what a month March is turning out to be and what a year for people like me in Australia. First the bush fires now the crazy corona! What a test it is right now! Some may be excited for home school (I'm not there yet myself) and there are lots of positives to think about but boy has the universe dropped the mother of all bombs on the entire world. Was it all meant to shake us up and wake us up to the damage our planet has suffered? Possibly. Whatever the purpose it doesn't

There is often a lot of talks floating around about unconditional love which is a beautiful thing but I want to touch on the polarity of where love needs conditions. It's a hard topic for me but one I feel I have waited many years and it is time to share. I grew up with an emotionally and physically violent father who never really processed some huge traumas in his life. As a strong willed young girl we clashed. My mother was beautiful and gentle and often too afraid to voice

Whatever is happening in our bodies physically is an expression of what is also happening on a mental, emotional and spiritual level. It's not new information that stress causes illness in the body yet we still seem to wait until we are in dire straits to seek balance. Why is it that most of us wait until we are sick to get healthy? Is this a pattern we picked up from our own parents? Possibly. I know as a child I never heard the words self-care or self-love or even "me" time

It is no shock to hear that money is the cause of a vast majority of relationship break downs. It has countries at war, families divided, and it can be easy to slip into the mainstream view that there is just not enough for you. Why is it that something so fundamental just like water or food or the air we breathe creates so much more stress and a lack mentality? When you talk about money how does your body react? Do you tighten? Does your pulse change? These will be key signa

Our minds are both the tool that can enable us to achieve the seemingly impossible, and the very tool to shut us down and keep us feeling stuck! I am always interested to see what stories our minds are playing to us and how we can re-program the show reel when we are feeling triggered. This week I felt pulled into healing my story of "no one ever invites me out". It is a theme that comes up every now and then and you'll notice with your own stories that if you track them ther

I shared this quote by Michael Beckwith on my insta page today because I am a living testament to the fact that it is true. When we leap and trust the universe, amazing things happen. I should add that the leaps feel right. You know that deep feeling inside when you just know to do something? So, I have 2 main stories about this to share. I’ll go with the earliest one first. When I was 18, I had been studying full time dance and musical theatre which was my absolute passion.

Welcome! I am Julia and I am the founder of Feel it to heal it. As you can see by my photo below I have 3 crazy kids and a husband of 11 years. Life is hectic and it has taken me quite sometime to get this website up but I am super proud of what I have achieved (I am definitely not tech savvy anymore!). The past few years I've been knuckling down with study and now that is over I do admit I had romanticised about how much more time I would have! It sounds ridiculious now as
