Currently studying psychology, running a full time business, mum to 5 kids - life is incredibly full at the moment.  Juggling everything can be a challenge but hey you only get one life right?

I am currently studying the psychology of trauma and to balance that subject, positive psychology.  Positive psych is a fascinating subject that looks at what makes people thrive, how to get it and keep you there.  It is a fairly new branch of psych.

Some of the really interesting things I have been looking at is the relationship between money and happiness.  Apparently, more money does NOT make you happy (beyond a certain point).   Certainly true in my case.  Before I began running my own business, I was certainly in the top wage bracket, which was great except I never had the time to spend it on my family or spend time with the people I loved.

Anyway I look forward to blogging some more of my discoveries as I move forward in my study of life, family and the exploration of what makes people thrive.


Psychology is not just the study of weakness and damage; it is also the study of strength and virtue. Treatment is not just fixing what is broken; it is nurturing what is best within us.
