Inclusive Spirits Tribe

Inclusive Spirits Tribe 🌿 Welcome to Inclusive Spirits Tribe 🌿 A movement, not a brand. Born from lived experience with mental health, neurodivergence & disability.

A space for awareness, empowerment & celebrating every mind and body. You are seen, valued, and never alone 💚 I have started this shop because I am very passionate about raising awareness for mental health conditions, disabilities and disorders whilst trying to break the stigma attached to it all and encourage inclusiveness, compassion and support to anyone going through it. I myself have Autism,

ADHD, C-PTSD, Agoraphobia, Panic disorder and a whole list of other fun and exciting things 🤣 Plus physical conditions with my back and spine. I also have children with ASD and ADHD and I lost my own father and other people who were very close to me through suicide. I want anyone living with a disability, disorder or mental health condition to feel seen, heard and to know that they are absolutely perfect just the way they are. Thank you for stopping by my shop and I hope that what I am doing can make even the smallest difference in someone's life

I feel like these beautiful lyrics are quite fitting for me at present. I have been quiet on the page for a little bit as I was not doing ok, and well, life got a little overwhelming after losing two of my beautiful fur babies 4 days apart 🥺

I have been going through the natural motions of grieving them, while also focusing on my own mental and physical health and healing. I am going to try to make it on here a little bit more (🤞), so that I can keep showing up to hopefully help some people with my thoughts, experiences, and the ramblings of my noisy mind haha

I hope everyone who see's this has been well. Stay kind to yourselves 💚

🌿Beautiful song lyrics from:

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
Life has been a bit heavy lately as it can sometimes be, but I wanted to jump on today to stay connected to you all as I take this space very seriously and I hold my passion for helping others very close to my heart.

When things are confronting and full of a mixture of intense emotions, I like to bunker down and get into my own space to face, feel and embrace all of the feelings that need to be felt. I do not ignore or run from them, but sometimes I need to process them in my own way. Some of the ways I do this is:
🍃Painting
🍃Drawing
🍃Rewatching movies or tv series
🍃Listening to music
🍃Reading
🍃Being in my garden.
While doing any of these things, I will cry, I will laugh, I will feel good, I will feel horrible. But whatever the waves bring I feel into them and thank them for the lessons and messages.

I want to send a gentle reminder that however one works through their struggles is their right. As long as someone is processing, feeling, and experiencing what they are facing/going through, then the way they do it is up to them (as long as it isn't destructive for their soul or others).

If you are struggling through anything at the moment, try to go for a walk, get into nature, do something you use to love that you may have not done for a while. Find something that breaks the present moment. It does not magically make whatever the battle is go away, but it can definitely create a small welcomed shift in your emotions, thoughts or physical sensations, which ultimately helps you swim through the waves.

Sending love and light and so much gratitude to you all for being here. 💚
I hope my little cartoon picture of me with my crab friend brings a smile to your face 🫶

Hello 🤗
I am hoping that you are all good and travelling along well. I will try to get back into regular posting soon, but we are just going through the motions at the moment of mourning our fur baby.
I am using this time to get into my creative mind and finish decorating my son's bedside table. I like to paint characters and scenes from our favourite games or movies. He has chosen Kratos and Atreus from God of War, and a scene from a specific level as the background.
So, seeing as I have already finished Kratos and Atreus I am now going to begin doing the background. Sometimes grieving calls for you to turn to someone you love to express the emotions to stop them from being overwhelming.
This could be going to the gym, painting, writing, drawing, colouring in, blasting your music, making music, walking on the beach or in nature, or even booking in a coffee date with a friend. Whatever sparks your creativity, tune into that and let the emotions come out in that form.
Some people find it very hard or uncomfortable to cope with emotions in their natural form so having an outlet where it transforms them into something you love while also letting you feel and express them is a great way to work through them in a healthy way.

I will do my best to stay present here and use my passion for helping others as a way to process through my emotions too. Alongside the arty stuff and gardening lol. Take care of yourselves, be kind to yourselves, and remember wherever you are in your journey is where you are suppose to be.

Today I want to talk about grief.

Not the neat, quiet version people are comfortable with, but the real and messy one. The one that twists and turns and refuses to move in a straight line.

Yesterday my day started one way... I found out I had completed and passed my university degree that I had worked incredibly hard for.

And then, within hours, I had to very unexpectedly say goodbye to my 11 year old Fur baby (our beautiful dog).

The same day held one of the proudest moments of my life and one of the most heart breaking. That is the thing about grief. It does not wait for a convenient time, it does not care if the day was meant to be joyful, it arrives when it arrives.

Grief is strange like that. One moment you might be ok, and the next you turn a corner in your house and see their favourite spot, hear a song, smell a familiar smell, and suddenly a memory hits you like a wave crashing into shore.

Grief isn't linear, it rises and it falls. It sneaks up on you. It softens, and then it stings again. And grief does not only belong to the loss of a human life.

🍃We grieve animals who were family.
🍃We grieve relationships and friendships that ended.
🍃We grieve the version of life we thought we would have.
🍃We grieve lost health, lost abilities, lost opportunities.
🍃We grieve people who are still alive but no longer part of our lives.

Grief is the echo of something that once meant everything.
There is no correct way to carry it. No timeline, no rulebook. Some days are heavy, some are quiet, and some days you can laugh and cry in the same breath.

If you are walking through grief right now in any form, please know this:
🍃You do not need to explain it.
🍃You do not need to minimise it.
🍃You do not need to apologise for it.
🍃Your grief is valid in our space in whatever stage and form it is. You are allowed to feel exactly what you feel.

Today I am both proud and broken at the same time. and maybe that is part of being human, learning that joy and grief can exist in the same breath.
If you are carrying grief today, you are not alone.
Our tribe is here 💚

Happy 1st of March, everyone.

Today a brand new month begins, and here where I am it is the first day of Autumn as well 🍂. A change of season, A gentle reminder that change is natural. Letting go is natural. Slowing down is natural.

As the leaves begin to turn, I am reminded that we too are allowed to shift. We are allowed to shed what is heavy, allowed to rest, and we are allowed to begin again as many times as we need.

To every single one who reads this post, no matter what you are battling, facing, or struggling with, I want to wish you a March filled with:
🍂Softer days
🍂Manageable moments
🍂Small wins worth celebrating
🍂Support that feels safe
🍂And compassion, especially for yourself.

This space at Inclusive Spirits Tribe that we are building together is for ALL OF IT.
The good days. The flare-ups. The anxious days. The exhausted days. The "I am just surviving days". The days filled with laughter and joy. The day where you almost forget you have struggles. All of it.

You never have to mask or pretend here. You never have to minimise what you are carrying. And you never have to explain why today looks different from yesterday.

As the season shifts, may this month bring gentle change where you need it most, and steady strength where you don't. We are building a safe space here where everyone can be exactly who they are, and be wherever they are in their journey.

Wishing you a compassionate and kind March 💚

If you are comfortable to share, I would love to hear from you:

🍃How has today been for you in one word?🫶
🍃What is something you wish people understood about your experience?
🍃What helps you feel supported on hard days?

Whether you are living with something visible or invisible.
Whether today feels strong or impossibly heavy.
Whether your diagnosis has a name or is still a question mark.
💚You are welcome here💚

This is a soft space to land in. A place where you don't have to explain your pain to be believed. A place where fatigue isn't laziness and brain fog isn't failure. Where flare-ups, shutdowns, meltdowns, anxiety, grief, anger, hope are ALL allowed and supported.

If this space has ever made you feel seen, I gently invite you to like, share, or tag someone who might need a reminder that they too are not alone.

We rise by holding space for each other. And I am so grateful that you are here 💚

There are so many myths surrounding mental health conditions, invisible disabilities, autoimmune disorders, chronic illness and chronic pain. And the problem with myths?

>They create stigma.
>They create shame.
>They create silence.

Not all illnesses are visible. Not all disabilities come with mobility aids. Not all pain can be seen on scans. Not all battles are obvious.

Many people are fighting private battles while still showing up to work, school, parenting, relationships and daily responsibilities. Instead of questioning someone's experience, we can choose compassion. Instead of offering quick fixes, we can choose to listen. Instead of assuming, we can choose to learn.

To anyone living with any of these conditions:

🍃Your experience is valid.
🍃Your pain is real.
🍃You deserve support, not scepticism.

💚Let's keep breaking the stigma together💚

There is something powerful about knowing you are held.
🍃Held in understanding
🍃Held in compassion
🍃Held in a space where you don't have to explain
every part of your story just to be accepted.

Every person here carries something. Some battles are invisible.
Some are visible. Some are physical, some are mental, some are both. None of them define the fullness of who we are. We are more than:
🍃appointments and diagnoses
🍃symptoms and flare days
🍃labels placed on us by systems and people that don't always see the whole picture.

We all move through light and dark seasons. Some days feel bright and expansive while others feel heavy and quiet. All are a part of being human and are valid.

Inclusive Spirits Tribe was created so no one has to walk those seasons alone. Here, you are allowed and encouraged to live in a way that is right for you. On your own terms and at your own pace. No guilt for resting and no shame for needing support. And there will be no pressure to push through when your body or mind says different.

For today, instead of focusing on the struggles, let's focus on the life that exists alongside them.
🍃The laughter in between appointments
🍃The small wins that no one else sees
🍃The moments of peace you carve out for yourself
🍃The strength that shows up quietly....Again..... and Again.

You are becoming, you are resilient and you are worthy of joy exactly as you are.

Being a part of our little tribe means knowing you are seen here. And that whatever today or any day looks like for you, I hope you find one small moment that feels like yours 💚

Every step I take looks different than it used to, and looks different than others expect. But it still counts💚

There are days when growth is quiet, and days when survival itself is the victory.
I am learning to honour my limits, to listen to my body instead of fight it, and to measure strength not by speed, but by persistence.

And that is enough!

Hello everyone 🤗
Today has been one of those hard burnout days for me that followed on from a very challenging night 😣So, I MADE myself spend the day resting and recharging and giving myself nothing but self-care in the forms I need it in (which is extremely hard for me to do). because of this I thought it appropriate to share with you all this little reminder.....

🍃Some days survival is strength, and some days rest is strength.
🍃Some days smiling through the pain is strength, and some days crying is strength.

If today has felt heavy, you are not weak for feeling it.
If today has felt light, you are not wrong for enjoying it.

You are allowed:
🍃Joy
🍃Softness
🍃Hope (even in small quiet pieces).

Progress is not always loud. Sometimes it looks like:
🍃Taking your medication
🍃Drinking water
🍃Taking a shower
🍃Reading a book
And sometimes it looks like simply staying.

I am proud of you and celebrate you for fighting battles that are seen and unseen. For carrying around what most people would not even notice. And for still being here, showing up everyday and facing your challenges.

The world is a brighter place with you in it 💚
May something gentle have found its way to you all today 💚
