About Me

Eilidh Horder and Suki the cat on shoulder B&W

Hi! I'm Eilidh, a recovering perfectionist and people pleaser, lucky enough to spend lots of time with my two children (who, incidentally, have superpowers), two cats and Fido the Romanian rescue dog.

The aim of this emotional and mental health blog is to share my experiences and reach out to others who might relate - a little reminder that we are not alone 🥰

Let’s talk about finding deeper meaning, peace, acceptance and self-knowledge. Love is all!

Turn down the white noise and find your own song!
