Breaking News 📣 📰! I am so excited to share that The Worry Wizard is working in partnership with Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust to create and deliver a brand-new, special programme designed to support children to begin the move from Worries to Wellbeing ✨. For months, I have been imagining and writing and creating with our incredible Chief Doodler, Chay Hawes, and we are nearly set to go 💥. The Worry Wizard's Therapeutic Team are gathering on Saturday to deliver our bra

Kind words delivered inside our homes 💛🏡. This Christmas I was struck by the moments people chose to use their platform to share kind words 🤗. I finished 2022, possibly like many of you, a little bit overfull of horrid news stories, or acts of unkindness I heard about in the wider world or experienced in my own smaller world. It felt like my world needed to become really small to make it kind again. But there were a number of moments over the festive season that helped me

I met ‘a lighthouse’ in a school I visited recently 💡. We are being funded to visit primary schools in Tameside and Glossop to run Worry Wizard sessions 🏫. We are having lots of fun 🤩. After one session, a student came up to me. “Can I say something to you, miss?” she said. “Of course,” I replied. “I just want to say that when I grow up, I want to be just like you. I know I am not grown up yet so I’m going to just try to be a little like you for now.” ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💝 My h

Have you heard of The Worry Wizard Worldwide Wellbeing Postal Service 🌎 💌 💫? We’re on a mission to send Wellbeing shine around the world 🌎. And today, we’d love you to celebrate with us as we send Wellbeing shine further than we’ve ever sent it before, over 5655 kms all the way to Maryland, USA 🇺🇸! This Christmas, I watched one of my favourite Christmas films 🎥🍿(again!), ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Clarence’s questioning over why he needs to go to Earth to help George B

I wonder if you have Wellbeing Tools ready to use in 2022✨? I’d like to introduce you to my Wellbeing Tool and Guide for 2022 – Buster🐾. He makes my Wellbeing shine…brightly✨. At 5 months old, he has taught me so much already: 1) Nature is magical 🌿🪄. When the door to outside is open, spring out and inhale. Take it all in. Rain, leaves, mud, a passing squirrel – it’s all there for you to enjoy💚. 2) Loved ones are precious 😍. Let them know. Greet them as though it’

Last year I sat with so many children who struggled to know any reason why they could love themselves 💙. Here at The Worry Wizard we are all set for 2022 ✨. We've got big plans and most of them centre around supporting children and young people to discover their magic and love themselves more 🪄.⁣ ⁣ We would love you to join us .

I’ve been reading a lot about pandemic fatigue this past week. Recognising the signs of it in my own world, this beautiful illustration by @sketchymuma lifted my spirits 🆙 🤍. Thank you to @thepsychologymum whose brilliant writing helps to explain what so many of us are experiencing right now, “There’s growing evidence that the pandemic may be causing increased fatigue…people have started to use the term pandemic fatigue to describe the exhaustion or mental exhaustion you m

This description of home leapt off the page whilst I was reading a magazine 📖 earlier in the summer 🌞. I wonder what you think of it 💭? It made me feel a confusing mixture of warmth ☀️ and sadness 😔. The warmth ☀️ - for me, it beautifully describes what home can be. The sadness 😔 - I’m aware many children don’t live these words 💙. This sadness often leaves me feeling powerless and unsure of what I can do. But I hold tight to the inspiring and hope filled words of @kier

I spend a lot of time with children and young people questioning: 1: There is only one path in life, the straight path to happiness 📏❓⁉️🤨 (e.g. GCSEs then ‘A’ levels then a degree then a job you work to be promoted in and so on). I enjoy sharing the idea: 1: There is a wibbly wobbly path in life 🏞, a non-straight path, a path that takes many twists and turns but one on which you may discover lots of happy along the way 🌈. Today marks a lovely twist and turn on my wibbly

I have been thinking about the need to look after your energy, to continually recharge your battery, in the mayhem that is the return to school and clubs and all the things that land at this time of year. I notice my littlest has his own methods for ensuring his favourite toys have fully charged batteries; he lines them up next to my bed and waits for the batteries to magically recharge. Sometimes his wait is longer than at other times; the battery fairy isn’t almost the mo
