Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

I started karate at 41 to help me face my fears that were mainly being around men & feeling out of control and to ground myself
Fears, phobias & anxieties started after being gang raped at 13. Karate focused me
This morning, 9 years late, I did my 2nd Dan grading

My 2nd #TEDxtalk was called “Why I’m shaming shame”
After being gang raped at 13 my shame was so crippling. It lied to me for years making me feel it was my fault
I know now that 💯 of all rapes are caused by rapists and was never my fault
