self development

a word from ALICIA aka Leesha

in my reflection

I know that my younger joyful, carefree and self assured self would not believe that this would be my reality.

I started ‘Escaping the blah’ in 2023 as a call to action/nod to the Most High for helping me get a grip on my life position and feelings. Having got to a point of loss of purpose, desperation, confusion and most scarily a denial of sadness accompanied by being fed up of being fed up.

The heart wrenching loss of my son and many other loved family members, compounded with my grandmother’s ongoing declining health due to, Dementia/Alzheimers, and a multitude of other things that life brings, made me shift from living to simply existing.


Through it all, I’ve never been a ‘Why me’ type of person, and as I continually search within as well as above to find reason and learning why God ‘WOULD’ choose me to go through these things, including losing my little boy, I experienced an internal shift and told my partner that I felt ready to try therapy again and asked him to resend me a directory of UK therapist/counsellors that he had previously sent my way. After successful sessions, purchasing/reading several new books, multiple self-help courses and a load of journal writing, I felt uplifted in my spirit and amped up to maintain this new journey whilst being inspired to share my processes with others who may need guidance to escape their own version of the blah!

While searching the internet, I discovered a young lady who started a successful blog in college to support her fellow students as well as earn herself some more money. This was the answer that I needed to help others, express myself, share my gifts and knowledge with whomever cared enough to pay attention and so, Escaping the blah! was born.

I’m feeling liberated and excited about what the future brings.

Thank you in advance for walking with me.
