CHARRED
‘Think of a piece of wood that has been exposed to the flames. You may think of it as damaged – and it’s true it has been burnt and blackened – but it is still resilient, and much stronger after going through this process. Think of me, Andreena Leeanne as a piece of charred wood.’

Self-Care is NOT Selfish
Self-Care is the practice of taking action to preserve or improve ones own health. It is anything YOU do to take care of YOURSELF so you can stay physically, mentally, and emotionally well. Its benefits are better physical, mental, and emotional health and wellbeing.
Write Your Truth
It is important to share your perspective, tell your story and open up about your experience as we have all been through different challenges. Speaking and writing your truth can set you free and is a major part of your healing journey.
Reversing Negative Self-Talk
Negative self talk is any inner dialogue that you have with yourself that may be limiting your ability to believe in yourself.
For example: 'I am going to fail and embarrass myself'
Reversed - 'I am proud of myself for trying, this is what courage looks like'
A series of wellbeing cards coming soon - 2025
'The journey to wellbeing begins with self-care
and the journey to authenticity includes vulnerability.'
