I have a pretty big family but most are living in sunny Jamaica, Canada or Birmingham (I’m a London girl) so I really cherish the family bonds with the ones that are close to me.

Those shared cups of tea, impromptu Sunday roasts, and late-night phone calls have become my lifeline—especially during those grey London winters when everything feels a bit heavy!

It’s made me realise just how much family shapes our well-being.

“Family bonds can help us to make sense of, live though, and ultimately overcome the challenges of the distressing events.” – Dr Blerina Kellezi, Associate Professor at Nottingham Trent University

But even the closest families navigate rough patches, miscommunications, and those moments when everyone’s nerves are just a bit frayed.

That’s where family affirmations come in!

When practised consistently, they help foster the warmth, understanding, and unconditional love we all crave from our family connections.
