What if some of the things that keep showing up in your life are simply blocks you havenโ€™t moved through yet?

In this conversation, Gemma shares how she sees PSYCH-Kยฎ as a way of working through those blocks, one at a time.

And this really got me thinking.

Sometimes when you start shifting ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐ , something else comes up. Or you realise that another issue has resolved because it was connected to that bigger thing all along.

It becomes about ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ง and checking in with yourself.

Whatโ€™s showing up for me now?

What feels different?

Whatโ€™s making me uncomfortable?

And is there something here that Iโ€™m ready to work through?

In this weekโ€™s ๐๐ข๐  ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐๐จ๐๐œ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ episode, Gemma and I talk about:

โ€ข How PSYCH-Kยฎ is used to work with subconscious beliefs
โ€ข What Gemma describes as the โ€œblocks in the roadโ€
โ€ข Why shifting one thing may bring something else to the surface
โ€ข The importance of tuning in and noticing what is showing up for you
โ€ข How PSYCH-Kยฎ sessions can be used to continue exploring those patterns as they arise

Sometimes itโ€™s not about changing ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง๐  at once.

Itโ€™s about noticing the next thing thatโ€™s asking for your attention. ๐Ÿ’›

๐Ÿ’ญ Whatโ€™s something that keeps showing up for you that youโ€™d love to move through?

Sound familiar? ๐Ÿ’›

For so many Family Day Care educators, ๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ง๐๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ can come with an enormous amount of guilt.

It might be setting boundaries with families, having a difficult conversation, saying no to something you donโ€™t want to provide, discussing fees, or even setting boundaries with the children in your care.

And sometimes, itโ€™s not the boundary itself thatโ€™s difficult. Itโ€™s ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ฐ๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ž๐ฅ ๐š๐›๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ข๐ญ.

In this weekโ€™s episode of the ๐๐ข๐  ๐‡๐ž๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐ž๐ ๐๐จ๐๐œ๐š๐ฌ๐ญ, Iโ€™m joined by PSYCH-Kยฎ facilitator Gemma Honeyball to explore the subconscious beliefs and patterns that may be sitting underneath feelings like guilt and people-pleasing.

Weโ€™re talking about:
โ€ข Why setting boundaries can bring up so much guilt
โ€ข The pressure educators can feel to keep families happy
โ€ข How our beliefs can influence the way we approach difficult conversations
โ€ข How PSYCH-Kยฎ may help us explore our relationship with guilt and boundaries

Because imagine being able to say ๐ง๐จ without carrying the guilt afterwards.

Imagine setting a boundary and feeling ๐œ๐จ๐ง๐Ÿ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐ญ in it.

Imagine having those difficult conversations without feeling like youโ€™re letting your families down.

๐Ÿ’ญ Do you ever struggle with guilt when setting boundaries in your Family Day Care service? Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Children can only thrive when the adults around them are supported too, and that's exactly what happened at Dream Lead Play 2026.

A room full of Family Day Care leaders and educators, showing up for each other, sharing things they'd never normally say out loud, and walking away with people they can genuinely call on.

This is why I do this work.
Dream Lead Play 2027 is already in the calendar for the first week of June. Come and feel it for yourself.

Big love,
Victoria

This is why I do what I do!

This is part of my Rainbow Bridge Family Day Care team.
This conference was birthed to primarily support then, but somehow became so much bigger.

I honestly believe this is the best team around!

Day two of Dream Lead Play 2026 and my heart is still so full. ๐Ÿ’›

Every speaker on Educators Day was chosen so intentionally, for exactly what they could add to a Family Day Care business.

The gorgeous Emma Rattenbury took us through programming and documentation, and how to reframe it into something that actually works for you.

Nicole gave us the most incredible examples, videos and real scenarios on play, and how educators can deeply connect with children by letting them lead, rather than leading them.

Maree showed us how to tell families what they need to hear, in a way that stays true to your own values and strengths, so you attract families who are genuinely aligned with you, with a documented process to back it up.

And Sammi Jaeger reminded every single one of us how important it is to fuel your own tank first, and took us on that journey of rediscovering ourselves.

Each speaker touched on something unique, and it spoke so beautifully to every educator in that room.

Honestly, the energy was electric. Watching people who'd only ever known each other online finally meet and connect in person was one of my favourite parts of the whole day. And don't even get me started on the food. Absolutely outstanding.

Here's a little glimpse of how day two went!

Day one of Dream Lead Play 2026 was every bit as incredible as I hoped it would be. ๐ŸŒŸ
We had four absolutely wonderful speakers share their stories with our Leaders Day group, and every single one of them was so relevant to service providers and leaders in Family Day Care.

Because it was such an intimate group, so much was shared that probably wouldn't have come out in a bigger, more anonymous room. The honesty in that room was next level.

Everyone who attended walked away with incredible takeaways, but more than that, they walked away as friends. As colleagues. As people they can now call on when things get tough, so they never have to feel alone in this profession again.

Here's just a little snippet of how day one went!

I really hope you'll put next year in your calendar. Dream Lead Play 2027 is happening in the first week of June 2027, and I cannot wait to see you there.
