A little late to the conversation, but never too late to spread awareness. 🎀

I know we're already a week into October and this post is arriving a little later than planned. But some messages are simply too important not to share.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honour the fighters, celebrate the survivors, remember those we've lost and stand beside everyone currently facing this journey.

To every woman fighting a battle we may know nothing about, your courage deserves recognition. To every survivor, your strength inspires us.

And to every family walking this road alongside someone they love, your support matters more than words can express.

Let's continue encouraging awareness, regular check-ups and conversations that could save lives.

Because awareness doesn't have an expiry date and showing support is never too late.

With love and support, Jeanné

Do you actually know who can see what you post on Facebook?

That little icon next to your post is more important than you might think.

Facebook gives you several audience options and each one determines exactly who gets access to the content you share. Whether you’re posting a personal photo, sharing something with a select group or publishing content you want the world to see, choosing the correct privacy setting matters.

🌍 Public – Anyone can see your post, including people who aren’t your Facebook friends.

👥 Friends – Only people you’re friends with on Facebook can see it.

➖ Friends except… – Share with your friends while excluding specific people you don’t want seeing that particular post.

👤 Specific friends – Choose exactly which friends are allowed to see your content.

🔒 Only me – Completely private. You’re the only person who can see it.

⚙️ Custom – Gives you more control over exactly who can and cannot see your content.

Understanding these settings is especially important when you use Facebook for both your personal life and your business.

Not everything needs to be public.
Not everything needs to be private.
The important part is knowing who you’re talking to before you hit POST.

Social media works better when you understand the tools behind it.

Attachment and Bonding: How a Baby Learns to Feel Safe in the World

Long before babies can speak, they are already learning something incredibly important: Is the world a safe place and can I trust the people around me?

This learning begins through attachment — the emotional bond that develops between a baby and their caregiver.

During infancy, babies depend entirely on others for comfort, protection and care.

Each time a caregiver responds to crying, offers reassurance, makes eye contact, speaks gently, cuddles or simply remains emotionally present, the baby receives an important message: “I am not alone. Someone is here for me.”

Over time, these repeated experiences can help build a sense of security.

As babies develop, attachment may become visible in different ways. They may recognise familiar faces and voices, smile when a caregiver approaches, reach towards someone they trust or look towards their caregiver when they encounter something unfamiliar.

Later, babies may experience stranger anxiety or separation anxiety. Although this can be challenging for parents, these behaviours can occur as babies become increasingly aware of familiar people and begin understanding when someone important has moved away or disappeared from view.

Secure attachment does not mean a baby will never cry, become anxious or struggle when separated from a parent. It also does not require perfect parenting.

No caregiver can respond perfectly every moment of every day.

What matters is the overall pattern of warmth, responsiveness and reconnection. When a parent occasionally misunderstands a baby's needs or becomes frustrated, reconnecting afterwards remains meaningful.

Relationships are built through thousands of small interactions rather than one perfect response.

Attachment can also support exploration.

When babies begin crawling, walking and discovering their surroundings, they often move away from their caregiver and then look back for reassurance.

A trusted caregiver can become what attachment theory describes as a secure base — somewhere safe to return to while exploring an increasingly exciting world.

These early relationships can contribute to the foundations of emotional regulation, trust and later social relationships. They do not determine a person's entire future, but they form an important part of early emotional development.

Perhaps one of the most powerful things to remember is that attachment begins before a child can explain what they need.

Long before a child can say “I need you,” they are learning whether comfort will come, whether connection feels safe and whether they can trust someone to be there.

Sometimes, simply being there is one of the most important things we can give a child.
