⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇧🇷 What a special day!

I’ve proudly called Scotland home for the last 25 years, and seeing Scotland playing in the World Cup fills my heart with so much pride. 💙

At the same time, Brazil will always be part of who I am. 🇧🇷 My heart truly belongs to both countries. Half Scottish, half Brazilian, and so grateful to experience moments like this.

My children were born and bred in Scotland, and watching them grow up loving football and being part of this incredible country makes today even more meaningful.

No matter who wins, today football is the winner! What an amazing atmosphere and what a privilege to celebrate two countries that mean so much to me.

Come on Scotland! Vamos Brasil! 🎉⚽❤️

Hey lovely 🤍

I went once again to see the team for another MRI because I’m still dealing with ongoing pain from my accident.

And honestly… I’m so grateful I did, because the scans explain a lot.

In my wrist alone, there are four separate injuries.

I have a TFCC central disc tear, which affects stability and rotation.
A sprain of the scapholunate ligament, which connects key wrist bones.
A cartilage injury at the lunate, meaning joint surface damage.
And an ECU subsheath injury with mild tendon inflammation, which causes instability and pain with movement.

So this isn’t “just wrist pain.”
There are multiple structural injuries.

And my lower back scan also confirmed significant findings.

I have degenerative disc disease between L4 and S1, with disc dehydration and loss of height.
There are annular tears — which are small tears in the outer part of the disc.
And disc herniations that are pressing forward and contributing to nerve-related symptoms.

That explains the ongoing lower back pain and the radiating symptoms into my legs.

What I appreciate so much about Unirad is that they don’t dismiss pain.

They investigate thoroughly.
They explain everything clearly.
And they treat you with respect and care.

If you’re struggling with ongoing pain and considering self-referral imaging — this is genuinely the place I recommend.

Don’t ignore your body.
Don’t let anyone minimise your symptoms.

Get answers.

Highly recommended by me 🤍

Domestic abuse is not only emotional or physical harm.
It is prolonged stress on the nervous system.

When someone lives in constant fear, tension, criticism, or unpredictability, the body stays in survival mode — fight, flight, or freeze.

Over time, this keeps stress hormones like cortisol elevated. Chronic stress increases inflammation, weakens the immune system, disrupts hormones, affects digestion, sleep, and muscle function.

Science now shows that long-term trauma can literally rewire the brain and dysregulate the nervous system.

This is why many survivors develop conditions such as:
• Chronic fatigue
• Autoimmune disorders
• Fibromyalgia-type pain
• Migraines
• Anxiety disorders
• Hormonal imbalance
• Digestive issues

The body is not “failing.”
It adapted to survive.

Chronic illness in many survivors is not weakness — it is the biological impact of living in prolonged threat.

Healing must include safety, nervous system regulation, emotional support, and trauma-informed care.

No one should suffer in silence.
Support exists. Recovery is possible. 🤍

I don’t believe people learn to live with pain.
I believe they learn to stop talking about it.

But today, I choose honesty over silence.
I choose strength with softness.
I choose to show up — even on the days my body hurts and my soul feels tired.

Pain doesn’t define me, but it has shaped my compassion, my resilience, and my purpose.
If you’re reading this and quietly carrying more than you show… you are not weak. You are brave. 🤍

One day at a time. One breath at a time.”

Brain Fog 🧠 So… as you can see… I completely forgot to make a video about brain fog 😂
Which is actually very on brand.

Quick question —
have you ever walked into a room and just stopped…
like…
Why am I here?
Who called me?
What was the plan?

Or you grab your phone, unlock it, stare at it…
lock it again…
and still have no idea why you picked it up.

Yep.
That’s brain fog.

Brain fog is when your brain is awake,
but it’s moving like it’s stuck in traffic.

It’s forgetting words mid-sentence,
reading the same message over and over,
saying ‘sorry, what?’ even though you WERE listening,
and putting things in places that make absolutely no sense.

Some days my brain has:
low battery,
no signal,
twenty open tabs,
and one random song playing for no reason.

And let me say this clearly —
you’re not lazy,
you’re not dumb,
and you’re not losing your mind.

Brain fog happens with stress, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, hormones, poor sleep, burnout…
basically when life is doing too much.

Your brain just says,
‘Nope. We’re slowing down today.’

It can be frustrating.
Sometimes embarrassing.
Sometimes funny.
Sometimes all three at once.

But the good news?
Small things help.

Rest — without feeling bad.
Drink water.
Move gently.
Lower the pressure.
Be nicer to yourself.

Because being angry at your brain doesn’t make it work better.
I checked 😅

So if today you forgot what you were saying,
lost your train of thought,
or walked into a room and forgot why…

Congratulations —
you’re human.

If this sounds like you, comment ‘brain fog’ or drop a 🧠😂
Tag someone who forgets why they opened the fridge.

You’re not alone.
We’re all just out here…
buffering together.”
