this is a good place to begin...
hey
If you’ve landed here feeling overwhelmed, confused, horrified, consumed with an aching sadness that feels like it’s eating your heart, or you feel like you’re unravelling….
or the world is unravelling….
…something around here sure is unravelling…
Hi, I know how that feels. You are not alone. There are others. We’re here.
I’m Siobhán and you can see what I’m about here and ways to connect are here ….but if you just want to lurk, dwell and shuffle around for a bit, read on.
A good place to start is:
…which is the multi-part companion that I am co-creating with people like you, and it’s still in progress.

🤔 “I want support, or to connect with others… I think”
Head here for that.
🫥 “I don’t know what I want”
…but you think you want something, but you’re not sure it’s something from me.…and you don’t even know why you’re reading this anyway, you’re just waiting for your phone to ping with something exciting or maybe you just keep peeking out the window, expecting an explosion and a mushroom cloud because WTAF is happening in our world, and, and, and…..
for you, I suggest heading outside if you can…. leaving your screen,…letting your body touch the earth (even if that’s a finger tip on a pavement weed) and breathing in deeply… holding for a moment… and exhaling as slowly as you can… right until the end of that breath.
No, really.
The power of an exhale will exceed anything you’ll find here. All this will still be here after a few breaths and touching the pavement weed (or whatever life is nearby).
