Relationships take work, all relationships, even the healthy ones. Being as “easy as breathing” is unrealistic and equally, if it’s constant conflict, you need to notice that. More specifically if you don’t see behaviour change or improvement in your conflicts, then it might be a sign you are incompatible.

I’m curious, what was your first conflict with your last partner (or current one!)?

For me, it will be no shock if you read The Joy Of Being Selfish, it was around timing and how this is one of my strongest boundaries and the first conflict and it came on our fifth date.

There’s very few behaviours that happen for “no reason”. It’s the fact it’s happening unconsciously and as the saying goes, if you don’t make the unconscious conscious, it will dictate your behaviour and you will call it fate

Time to start a new chapter!

In case you haven’t noticed, I have changed my username. I have wanted to do this for a while and as much as I am feeling happiness, I won’t lie, it’s also sad to close this chapter.

I will always be endlessly proud of my Scarred Not Scared campaign. I believe we were part of the change to get scars represented in the body positive conversation and increasing the visibility and acceptance for those who live with scars like mine.

It got to a point though where it felt like talking about my trauma everyday was holding me back. The irony is that I was saying “we are more than a body” and then I was constantly treated as if I was just a body. I would be told on photoshoots that my scars needed to be on show, otherwise no. The only time I was interviewed was if I wanted to share the worst time in my life. When I pitched books, I was told, you are an expert in body positivity, not a life coach. Except I was… a five board accredited one who has eight years worth of experience and a psychology degree.

Ultimately I was very lucky. I went viral across the world for an image when those with scars were looking to be seen and heard, and I was just in the right place at the right time for my message to resonate. I will always be grateful because look what it’s given me 8 years later but now it’s time to pass that torch to someone else.

Meanwhile on here, I am going to go back to my first and true love, life coaching. I didn’t choose my brain tumour, punctured intestine, obstructed bowels or cyst in my brain. I chose to be a life coach. And now I finally feel more than a body. I’m ME, get it? 😂 Nice to meet you, I’m Michelle Elman ☺️
