Love it 🥰

In the mid-1990s, Sarah McLachlan was repeatedly told by radio programmers and concert promoters that audiences would not accept two women in a row. Despite selling millions of albums, she was informed that female artists had to be spaced out to remain “profitable.

Rather than accept those limits, McLachlan organized Lilith Fair, a traveling festival featuring only women. From 1997 to 1999, it toured the United States and Canada, filling massive venues and introducing audiences to artists ranging from global stars to newcomers just beginning their careers.

In its first year alone, Lilith Fair became the highest-grossing touring festival in North America, outperforming major mixed-gender festivals and drawing millions of attendees. Over three summers, it generated tens of millions of dollars and permanently disproved the belief that women could not sell tickets together.

Though criticized, mocked, and eventually exhausted by its own success, Lilith Fair reshaped how the music industry viewed female-led tours and left behind a record that could not be dismissed.

Wednesday I begin my shamanic journeying down in Inman Valley and tonight I’m feeling really emotional- I’m tired. Heart, soul and spirit I am exhausted.

I am also angry.

I’m angry at a degenerate system that deemed me “bipolar” at age 22 when I was expressing trauma that had been blocked in my unconscious.

That didn’t allow me to vent my fears.

That didn’t validate my experiences or normalise what was happening.

I’m angry that the mental health industry is a money making scheme that keeps people entrenched, locked up, invalidated and sedated.

I’m angry that what was was coming out of my mouth wasn’t recognised as trauma.

I’m angry that consequently over the years I’ve devalued my own self worth and put up with less than exemplary behaviour from men that have used and abused me.

I’m angry that I’ve been so hard on myself that I didn’t see myself clearly and allowed others to trespass against my good and kind soul.

I’m angry that I wasn’t told as a child just how loved and adored I was so that instead I tried super hard to be “perfect” and eventually burnt out around age 16.

I’m angry that one single man eroded the heart of a caregiver so much so that they succumbed to a dark and disabling depression (that as child I believed was all my fault).

I’m angry that men EVERYWHERE are destroying the spirits of beautiful women and they we have to adhere to their story, their power and their HISstory.

I’m angry that a man from my youth convinced me to take lithium instead of do therapy and because he had such a strangle hold over my little soul I followed him aimlessly believing he was my “saviour” rather than an evil c**t that thrived on power and control.

I am worthy and I’m angry that it’s taken 40 years to realise this.

I’m deeply empathic, psychic and spiritual and it is high time I began the path I was always meant to go down.

So it begins- healing and eventual tapering slowly to save my poor body from the corrosion than is lithium and seroquel combined.

The power of the universe via the power of a genuine, compassionate conduit I know is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Just wanted to put these numbers out there. Including Yarn for any aboriginal followers.

It’s not easy to allow yourself the ability to connect with someone. But there are people out there to connect with.

I spent 4 years on the phones for Lifeline over 10 years ago and it was the most incredible opportunity.

To hear people and hold space for someone that’s struggling and directly connect into the feelings behind the words is a powerful gift.

I know that if you’re following With Wings you are looking for connection and healing & I want that for you.

Don’t let that rock in your stomach or chest take over. Reach out.

I’m proud of you if you do so. As an ex lifeline TC I know earnestly that there are amazing people out there picking up the phones. It may not be the first person you get but you will connect to the right person. Don’t give up xx

I called Lifeline tonight to bleed my spleen. Which likely freaked them out, saying I’m gonna heal with the help of a shaman. I really value the people that take the calls- just kindly volunteers that do want to support people. Although, the woman I got sounded like she’d just come off a heavy call and was exhausted.

I’m feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension about completing my first shamanic journey hopefully this coming Wednesday. But I have to go coz I’m so fed up. My trauma has been medicated rather than heard. I’m so over medicated now.

This shaman was healed of motor neurone through shananism. Like actual fu***ng motor neurone and isn’t on meds anymore! Surely I can heal my brain? Coz I would like my executive functioning to return. Then I too would like to become a shaman. That’s the aim.

Thank you shamanism 🙏

This blessing speaks to the way the soul can scatter when life becomes too heavy to hold, and how each part deserves to return in its own rhythm. It affirms that wholeness is not forced but welcomed, and that the Earth itself can steady the one who is calling herself home. At its heart, it reminds the person that even in fragmentation, she was never abandoned by her deeper self.

🍃 Shamanic Journey Invitation:
“When I stand in the center of my being and call my scattered pieces home, what part of my soul is ready to return and show me how it wishes to be welcomed.”

This journey invites the person to meet the soul part that is closest to returning and to learn what it needs in order to come home with ease.

Text on Image: “Blessing to Call My Soul Pieces Home: I call back the parts of me that wandered when life was too much to hold, and I welcome them with tenderness. I gather my spirit from every place it scattered, letting each piece return in its own time and its own way. I stand in the center of my being, rooted in the Earth, ready to be whole again. And I bless my returning self with patience, protection, and the remembering that I was never truly lost.”

Sheena Rae - Mess and Mercy

16/04/2026

This is the present reality of living on a concoction of medication- the distinct inability to function in every day reality because my dopamine receptors are currently being blocked.

I fear this as a permanent thing and can’t possibly fathom spending the rest of my life feeling incapable of ordering my room!

It’s a mess and I can’t bring myself to photograph anything else.

It dulls my ability to think and react. So much so that moving house (again 😫) just fills me with dread.

Which is partially the reason why I’m pursuing the world I have faith in. The world of alternative healing ✨

My room is currently in such a state and I’m here writing about it as a means of a: acknowledging that I have a medication induced type of ADHD and b: procrastinating to the high hilt!

To anyone else that’s been through the world of psychiatric intervention and found the side effects to be horrendous I care. I see you too & as I aim to slowly awaken fully and evolve beyond medication I hope to take these practices into my work and heal you also.

Coz man made junk may have it’s place in our lives for a time I truly believe to heal the root cause- traumas etc- there lies forgiveness, strength and eventually true freedom ♥️

Today I’m meeting with an amazing shaman I’ve had recommended to me from a woman that spent her whole life dealing with chronic panic attacks. Just like me- I remember clearly having such bad anxiety as a 10 year old I’d stay awake all night expecting the whole house to burn down and me to be the one to rescue the whole family and menagerie of pets.

I kinda told myself that first and foremost to be a healer I wanted to be healed myself. Of my trauma, of depression and of the other side as well. The damaging highs of bipolar. But the mental health system in this country only seems to know how to keep people “stable” and not healed. Which is why I’m looking into alternatives with the knowing that healing isn’t linear or equal for all people. It’s subjective.

There’s such a stigma around mental health and being that I work in mental health recovery I see it constantly. There’s a huge part of me that’s said, “How can I do such amazing light filled, energy healings when I myself am grounded and a little screwed up?” But as the amazing poet Rumi suggested “the wound is where the light comes in” perhaps my own wounding makes for greater light?

This process of coming home to myself will be documented on my With Wings page as a learning journey I choose to experience and share. Because I know that when this process is complete I’m destined to be a bloody good healer.
