Welcome to the Blog: Finding Light in a VUCA World

Hello and welcome!
 
If you’re anything like me, you might sometimes look around and feel overwhelmed by just how unpredictable, chaotic, and fast-changing the world feels. That’s because, whether we like it or not, we live in what’s often called a VUCA world—a world that is Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, and Ambiguous. This term originally came from the military (Bennis & Nanus, 1985), but it’s now used to describe the emotional and psychological landscape we’re all trying to navigate.

Living in a VUCA world can be deeply unsettling. At times, it can feel frightening or disorienting. But I’ve also found it to be full of possibility—a place where growth, insight, and meaning can emerge from even the most confusing experiences.

As a psycho-spiritual therapist, I draw strength from a perspective that blends psychology with spirituality. This isn’t about religion—it’s about the deeper layers of our human experience. Psychosynthesis, developed by Roberto Assagioli (1965), invites us to see ourselves not just as bundles of thoughts or behaviours, but as whole beings—body, mind, heart, and soul—trying to make sense of life.

This blog is my little corner of the internet to share that perspective with you. It’s a space where I’ll be offering reflections, tools, and ideas that I hope will support you in moving from a place of fear or confusion toward something more grounded, more compassionate, and ultimately more flourishing.

Psychosynthesis teaches us that we all have an inner compass, even when the outer world feels like it’s spinning. And I believe that when we learn to listen to that inner guidance, we start to live with more intention, creativity, and connection.

So whether you’re here out of curiosity, a hunger for meaning, or just a need to feel less alone—welcome. I hope these posts feel like a cup of tea with a thoughtful friend: warm, honest, and gently encouraging.
