Shining a light on some new things…
Hey lovely Reader For the past few weeks, I’ve been working quietly on some new offerings. You might have heard me touch on this in the podcast - including thinking I was ready to emerge… and then returning myself to the imaginal cells in the goo of the creative chrysalis. Change is like this at times, of course. We begin, we retreat, we begin again. Well, I’m finally ready to begin to share.It’s exciting and a little scary, as these things so often are. Holding ourselves lightly All of these...

A Single Breath: Reflections After the Pause Hey lovely Reader As we step into September, I wanted to connect with a gentle check-in, and to ask how you're doing? With the hope that August has been kind to you and those you love. This week’s bonus episode of the podcast is a reflection on what it’s been like to step away for my August break. I speak about how it felt to quiet some of my digital habits (not always successfully), what it really means (for me) to rest, and what I found in the...

Rest, Reset, Recalibrate: Digital Dopamine Detox Hey lovely Reader This is the final episode of Season 17, and as I step into my August break - a practice I’ve been honouring for several years now - I find myself reflecting on something that's been nudging at my attention: dopamine. Or more precisely: where do we get our dopamine hits when we stop? Because the truth is, it’s easy to romanticise taking a time of rest. But many of us (myself very much included) rely on subtle, often...

It Is as It Is: Flow, Trust & Abundance Hey lovely Reader It feels fitting that we’re talking about abundance at this time of year. Nature is in full generosity right now – the hedgerows heavy, the days long and lush, everything stretching into its full space. And yet, for many of us, abundance can feel like a complicated word. Over the last few weeks, guiding Finding the More Abundant Way group work, we’ve been exploring what it really means to live with an abundant mindset – and how tender...

The Skills We Forget We Have Hey lovely Reader I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of cross-skilling this week – how we carry strengths from one part of our life into another, often without realising. Sometimes we believe we can’t do something simply because we’ve never done it in that context. We tell ourselves we’re 'no good with conflict', 'terrible at practical details', or 'just an overthinker' – yet there may be other moments in our life where we manage these things with ease. The...

Hey lovely Reader As I was gathering the threads of thought and inspiration that led to this weekend's message, I came across this quote: It is indeed a radical act of love just to sit down and be quiet a time by yourself. Jon Kabat-Zinn I love its simplicity - and its radical compassion, as Tara Brach might say. It speaks so strongly to something I've been feeling for a while. Maybe it speaks to something in you too? There is so much calling for our attention. So much that feels hard to hold...

Hey lovely Reader I was feeling a tiny bit giddy when I recorded this week's episode. It's joyful, slightly rambling, full-hearted. I'm emerging from several weeks of creating, doubting, re-creating, finalising and tweaking and (eventually) sharing my three new offerings: LoveWords - the modern oracle cards I mentioned last week (if you've already ordered yours - THANK YOU!) Immerse - my year-long group coaching programme... if you're curious, message me. And... A piece of quiet - my new...
