[Content note: This post discusses su***de and personal loss. Please take care of yourself as you read. It is okay to skip.]

My husband Roger took his own life.

Divine Soul Sacred Body: From Su***de to Sovereignty was written from the inside of that experience and my own struggles with the thought of ending my own life 27 years ago.

That is where this book begins.
In grief.
In the years of asking questions no one seemed able to answer.

I wrote it for my catharsis, but also to share the solution I created to help my counselling clients, as well as counsellors and counselling students in mind.

Because the tools in this book are real.

This week, ahead of World Su***de Prevention Day, I am giving Chapter Four away for free. It contains a real counselling session, a real tool, and a question that can change the conversation.

Life has a rhythm.

A pulse.

And most of us spend years reacting to it — bracing, catching up, stumbling through moments we could have moved through with grace.

What shifts when you learn to respond instead?

What happens when we flow and bend so that we don't break?

The R.E.S.I.L.I.E.N.C.E. WORKSHOP:

From Reacting to Responding — a two-hour workshop at CF61.
📅 Wednesday 16th September | 🕖 7–9pm | 💷 £36

Over one focused evening, we'll explore what it means to stop being swept along by the dance floor of living — and start moving through it as a more conscious, more intentional presence in your own life.

A framework and a formula:
Real tools
Real shifts
One evening, in a contained and safe environment.

Highly suitable and recommended for young people.

📚 A little invitation for parents, grandparents, teachers & caregivers

Do you have a child in your life aged 10–13 who is preparing for, or going through, the transition from primary to secondary school?

This is such a significant chapter in a young person’s life — new surroundings, new expectations, new friendships, new challenges and often a whole new emotional landscape.

A Book About Us – Celebrating Diversity was created to help young people pause, reflect and begin exploring their own stories, emotions, relationships and experiences as they navigate change.

It isn't simply a book to read. It is an invitation to talk, reflect, ask questions and write your own story.

So, if you are a parent, grandparent, teacher or caregiver, and you have a young person between 10 and 13 in your life, perhaps this book could become a meaningful companion during this important transition.

💛 If this resonates, I would love you to support my work by purchasing a copy.

👉 The link to the book is in the comments.

Sometimes, helping a young person develop self-awareness and emotional literacy begins with something as simple as opening a book and starting a conversation.

🌱 Sometimes Starting Again Is the Beginning of Becoming
2003–2010 | I Came Back With a Suitcase — And Rebuilt My Life From Scratch

In 2003, I made another difficult decision.

I returned to Wales so my son could have an in-person relationship with his father.

It was the right decision.

It was also one of the hardest decisions I had ever made.

I had spent the previous couple of years rebuilding a life in Brazil. I had a home, work, family, friends, my little language school and, most importantly, my son was thriving.

And now I was leaving it all behind.

Again.

I said goodbye to my family.
I said goodbye to my beautiful cat, Max, who I had taken to Brazil believing we would stay there forever.
I sold what I could.
And I returned to Wales with a suitcase and very little else.

I didn't have a home.

For a while, my son and I stayed with a dear friend. Then we moved into a tiny one-bedroom studio converted from an old stable.

We shared a bed.

And somehow, from that little space, I began rebuilding my life.

But this time, something different was happening.

I knew I needed to understand myself.

I wanted to understand depression.
I wanted to understand trauma.
I wanted to understand human suffering.
And I wanted to understand how people find their way through life's darkest chapters.

While doing my Access course at Bridgend College, I engaged in counselling for the first time as part of the support available through the college.

I continued counselling while completing my counselling qualifications, and when I eventually went to university, the course itself involved a significant amount of personal development.

For the first time, I began consciously processing what I had carried for years:

the loss of Roger,
the trauma of his su***de,
the upheaval of leaving Brazil,
the losses and upheavals of moving between countries,
the trauma of a difficult relationship,
the emotional abuse,
the years of trying simply to keep going.

I wasn't just studying counselling.

I was learning how to meet myself.

And slowly, something began to shift.

I started asking different questions.

Not “Why has this happened to me?”

But:

“What can I learn from this?”
“What do I need to heal?”
“Who am I becoming?”

So I kept going.

I secured a grant, completed my studies, worked as a learning support assistant in schools and as a support worker, raised my son and eventually went on to study counselling at the University of Glamorgan.

In 2010, I completed my degree with a high 2:1 — just 2% short of a First.

And I was immensely proud.

Not simply because of the qualifications.

But because I knew what it had taken to get there.

English wasn't my first language.
Life hadn't exactly given me a smooth runway.

But I kept showing up.

Looking back now, I can see that those years were not simply about rebuilding my circumstances.

They were about rebuilding ME.

And perhaps this is one of the greatest lessons my journey has taught me:

Sometimes starting again isn't going backwards.
Sometimes starting again is the beginning of becoming.

Every chapter was teaching me something.

Every challenge was strengthening a muscle.

And eventually, those lessons became part of the foundations of the work I do today — helping people develop self-awareness, emotional literacy and resilience, so they can stop living on autopilot and begin consciously participating in the life they are creating.

This is why my Resilience Workshop isn't something I created simply from theory.

It has grown from lived experience, deep personal work, professional learning and years of consciously putting the pieces together.

My signature R.E.S.I.L.I.E.N.C.E. FRAMEWORK and Emotions Formula are practical tools born from that journey — designed to help you understand yourself, navigate your emotions and strengthen your resilience muscle.

🌱 If you're ready to stop simply surviving and start consciously shaping your life, this may be your next step.

It is a muscle.
And you can strengthen it.

🌎 2001–2003 | WHEN YOUR INNER KNOWING SAYS GO… DO YOU LISTEN?

There are moments in life when the logical mind says one thing…

…but something deeper says, "You know what you have to do."

In October 2001, I listened.

After everything I had been through, I knew I needed to take my son home to Brazil.

Not for a holiday.

Not for an adventure.

To heal. To be supported. To survive.

On 21 October 2001, my son and I left Wales with our belongings, my cat Max, and a one-way ticket to Brazil.

Before leaving, I posted letters to the local authority, my solicitor and my son's father's solicitors, telling them exactly what I had done. I knew there could be consequences. I accepted responsibility for my decision.

I had no permission to take my son.

But I also knew, deep within me, that I had to go.

We flew from Cardiff to Amsterdam and then onwards to São Paulo.

And the following day was my mother's 70th birthday.

I walked into the church with my son and surprised her with flowers during the special Mass celebrated by my cousin, Devair, who was a priest.

That moment remains etched in my heart.

I had come home.

And something began to shift.

Within six months, I was living in a beautiful three-bedroom house in Cambuquira, Minas Gerais, surrounded by family, friends and nature.

And in the garden was an outhouse.

So I turned it into something I had dreamed about for years:

my own language school.

I called it Baby Talks.

I created my own approach to teaching English based on something I had been fascinated by for years—the natural way human beings acquire language.

I taught children, young people and adults.

I also began teaching at CCAA, the Brazilian language-school network whose name officially stands for Centro de Cultura Anglo-Americana, and later at a Waldorf school inspired by the educational philosophy of Rudolf Steiner.

But I wasn't only rebuilding my career.

I was rebuilding myself.

Reiki entered my life. I trained as a practitioner. I explored energy work, spirituality, alternative approaches to wellbeing and, most importantly, I began consciously exploring the relationship between my mind, emotions and life experiences.

And my son?

He was thriving.

He went fishing.

He swam.

He explored lakes and farms.

He climbed trees.

He experienced freedom.

He was having the kind of childhood I desperately wanted for him.

And I was healing.

Then came another moment that changed everything.

At Christmas 2002, I invited my son's father to Brazil so he could spend time with his son.

He came.

He saw how well our son was doing.

And there was harmony.

The following year, my son and I returned to Wales for the summer.

I remember standing at Bridgend railway station and seeing my son running towards his father…

…and his father running towards him.

They embraced.

And something inside me became absolutely still.

There was no argument in my head.

No pros and cons.

No spreadsheet.

No logical calculation.

Just a very clear inner knowing:

"It's time to come home, Eliana."

I knew my son deserved the opportunity to grow up knowing and loving his father.

And I was now strong enough to make that possible.

So, despite having built a beautiful life in Brazil…

I chose to return to Wales.

My family thought I was completely crazy.

And honestly?

Part of me wondered if they were right.

But I had learned something during those difficult years:

Sometimes resilience isn't about holding on.

Sometimes resilience is knowing when to let go, trust yourself and take the next step.

And that is one of the foundations of the work I teach today.

I'm not sharing these chapters to revisit my pain.

I'm sharing them because every chapter became part of the framework that now helps others find their way back to themselves.

My R.E.S.I.L.I.E.N.C.E. Framework and Emotions Formula were not created from theory alone.

They were forged through lived experience, reflection, healing, learning and decades of discovering what it means to navigate life consciously.

And that's why I've created my Resilience Workshop.

🌱 A safe and nurturing space
🧠 To understand yourself and your emotions
💛 To step out of autopilot
💪 To strengthen your resilience muscle
✨ To reconnect with your own power

Timeline 1999–2001

‼️ When surviving on autopilot became dangerous ‼️

⚠️ A gentle note: This is one of the most personal chapters of my story. If you've experienced depression, trauma or emotional abuse, please read with kindness towards yourself.

I'm not sharing my past to revisit the pain. I'm sharing it because every chapter became part of the framework that now helps others find their way back to themselves.

By 1999, I had reached a place I never imagined possible.

The years before had been filled with loss, grief, emotional abuse, single motherhood, a traumatic childbirth and the painful end of my relationship with my son's father.

Outwardly, I kept going.

Inside, I was falling apart.

Without realising it, I began numbing the pain with alcohol. What had once been an occasional glass of w**e gradually became a bottle after my little boy had gone to sleep.

I wasn't celebrating.

I was surviving.

Eventually, the weight of everything I had carried became too much.

One day, I reached the point where I simply couldn't see a future. I remember crying out to God—to Life—to whatever loving intelligence exists beyond us—and asking for it all to end.

Then I heard my son's voice.

In that instant something shifted.

I realised that although I had lost hope for myself, I could not abandon this little human who depended on me.

That became the first spark of my return.

I gathered the courage to ask for professional help. I poured my heart out to a GP, hoping someone would help me understand what was happening inside me.

Instead, I left with a prescription and the feeling that my deeper pain had not been heard.

That experience became another turning point.

I decided that alongside any support available, I wanted to understand the roots of my suffering rather than simply silence it.

So began the journey that continues to this day.

I discovered kinesiology.

I found Reiki.

I immersed myself in personal development, psychology, spirituality, emotional awareness and holistic wellbeing.

Not because I wanted another qualification...
..but because I was trying to save my own life.

During this period another painful chapter unfolded.

After moving to a rented house in Llandow so my son could attend a better school, I rented out my own home. My tenant stopped paying rent, and despite every effort, I couldn't regain possession for a long time.

Eventually I lost the house I had worked so hard to buy.

It felt as though life was stripping away everything I had built.

Then came September 11th, 2001.

Watching the world change overnight while carrying my own emotional collapse finally convinced me that I needed to return to Brazil.

I wasn't running away.

I was running towards healing.

I asked my solicitor to help me return home with my son, who asked for the impossible...

I contacted the Brazilian Consulate, which said: Go!

I packed our lives into suitcases and flew back to my family.

Looking back now, I truly believe that decision saved my life.

Today I understand something I couldn't see then:

Resilience isn't about never falling apart.

It's about finding one reason—just one—to keep taking the next step until you find yourself again.

Have you ever reached a point where life felt too heavy to carry?

What helped you take the very first step back towards yourself?

💛 If this chapter resonates with you, perhaps you're ready to stop living on autopilot and begin understanding your emotions instead of simply surviving them.

My Resilience Workshop is a safe, nurturing space where I'll share the tools that helped me rebuild my life—including my R.E.S.I.L.I.E.N.C.E. Framework and Emotions Formula.

✨ If you're ready to strengthen your resilience muscle and reclaim your inner power, I'd love to welcome you. The booking link is in the comments.

🌻 Welcome, August! ☀️

August has arrived... my birthday month.

This month, I celebrate 64 trips around the Sun.

Not 64 years of perfection.
Not 64 years of constant happiness.
Not even 64 "wonderful" years.

They've been 64 years filled with adventures and challenges... moments of deep love and heartbreaking loss... dreams fulfilled and dreams rewritten... times when I felt strong, and times when I wondered how I would ever find my feet again.

Yet here I am.

Still standing.
Still learning.
Still growing.
Still dancing.
Still believing that, no matter what life brings, we always have a choice in how we respond.

Over the years, I've come to realise that joy isn't something we wait for until life finally becomes perfect. Joy is something we create, nurture and share—even through life's storms.

So, as August begins, I choose to show up once again with an open heart, doing my best to spread a little more kindness, a little more hope, a little more music and a little more joy wherever I can.

For many of us across the UK, Europe and North America, August is a month of sunshine, school holidays and making memories.

🌞 Long, warm days
🏖️ Seaside adventures
✈️ Holidays and new discoveries
🏕️ Camping under the stars
🍦 Ice creams and lazy afternoons
🎶 Festivals and music
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Families spending precious time together
💛 Grandparents creating special memories while the children are off school
🌅 Beautiful sunsets that remind us to slow down and appreciate life's simple gifts

Meanwhile, friends in the Southern Hemisphere are embracing the quieter rhythms of winter, while those living closer to the Equator may experience August not through summer or winter, but through the changing patterns of rain and sunshine.

Wherever you are in the world, a new month is always an invitation to begin again.

My wish for you this August is simple:

May you find moments of peace in the busy days.

May you discover beauty in unexpected places.

May you laugh often.

May you love deeply.

May you have the courage to keep going, even when the road isn't easy.

And may you never underestimate the difference your presence can make in someone else's life.

Thank you for being part of my journey.

Here's to another month of living, learning, loving... and making the most of every precious day.

Happy August, everyone! 🌻💛

With awareness,
Eliana Regina 🌻
