++ Life Design Studio ++ Coaching//Mentoring + Outrageously simple SELF practices :: Back yourself & feel alive again [without] blowing up your nervous system

03/04/2026

I’ve not been showing up the way I’d like lately. As in the past twelve+ months have been rocky in relation to my output, fragments of my old self scattered amongst the bare minimum I’ve been able to achieve.

I’d be lying if I said there weren’t moments of ‘maybe I’m not meant to be doing this’ as another week goes by without me sending that love note to my VIPs (shout out to last weeks mail though) or posting on here (god forbid my follower count goes down 😉).

But my inner leader knows better.
She knows that we have negativity bias and tend to focus on what’s NOT working, what we’re NOT doing, where we’re “falling short”, rather than all the epic things we ARE doing.

She reminds me of all the ways I AM showing up.
She reminds me this is a season, not a sentence.
She reminds me of the ways I am practicing what I preach and embodying the wisdom I’ve spent years gathering and integrating.
She reminds me of all the invisible steps I’m taking to build the future I want (offline), steps that while exciting, are a-lot amongst full time employment, working in my business part time and navigating one of the most intense identity shifts of my life — perimenopause.

She reminds me of the power and potential of these quiet introspective seasons and of the purpose they serve in the bigger picture.

Because when I zoom out, I see I’m exactly where I’m meant to be (albeit I’d love to be there without my new friend hot flushes).

I see all the dots joining like the most spectacular watercolour, the offerings being clarified, the focus refining, readying itself for me to dive in when the time is right.

So I keep trusting.
I forgive myself for my current capacity and I gift myself the love and compassion I so readily offer to others. I am doing my best and that’s enough.

If you too feel like you’re not showing up as you usually would right now, may this be your reminder too — just because your progress doesn’t look like it used to, it doesn’t mean you’re not moving forward.

Sometimes the most important “work” you do is invisible.

Expand your expectations, shift your perspective, listen and be patient.

It IS happening.

Witness mode has well and truly been activated lately. I learnt a long time ago that embodying my inner leader also meant allowing. Not rushing to fix, force or clean up, but allowing myself to be present in my experience *while lovingly moving myself through it.

It feels so counterintuitive somedays and I’m sure you’ve felt it, the urgency to “feel better” and put these uncomfortable emotions behind you. And while you definitely don’t want to marinade in their heady broth for too long, rushing yourself out of the process can leave you feeling underdone.

We often confuse patience with complacency.
But there’s a big difference between bending over and taking it with conscious participation in the integration process.

Witnessing rather than resisting
Listen rather than retaliating
Holding rather than pushing
Receiving rather than running

Sometimes not trying to heal is the healing because you can finally trust you know how to lead yourself through the discomfort without making it mean something about who you are as a person.

And that, is where true transformation happens…

It saddens me that we often believe that it’s the big bold moves that change our lives. That the tiny micro actions we take don’t count or matter enough to celebrate our devotion to them.

I know from personal experience though and from the intimate work I do with my clients that these seemingly insignificant rituals and actions can be the very medicine that put the shine back on life.

The simple act of lighting a candle as you come home from work, or as you sit waking in the morning light, the soul nourishing act of slowing eating a guilt free treat that not only satisfies you palette but sweetens life itself (note plum and pistachio cheesecake), the subtle shift in presence that comes from witnessing our loved ones in a moment of joy and really taking a moment to savour it like the exhale it is, the slow stirring of your morning coffee as you notice the patterns of today’s crema.

To some these may seem boring, to me they are the life blood that keeps life feeling anchored and mine.

These photos themselves aren’t “good” content, but by not feeling ok to share them I simply buy into the narrative that has us believing they’re not enough. So here they are.

Some of the boring rituals that are everything to me right now.

Not pictured: my morning meditations before rising. They are 🤌🏽

What’s your favourite boring ritual? I’d truly love to know. X

Want to start flexing your self leadership muscle more? Start HERE.

Break up with apologising
for nothing
for simply speaking
for saying how you really feel
for resting
for changing your mind
for choosing different
for saying no
for saying yes.

For listening to your gut when it tells you ‘this isn’t okay’.

I know.
It’s isn’t that easy.

Because like me, if you’re a recovering people pleaser who’s developed an A-grade safety net of buffering any potential disturbance with ‘sorry’ — then yep, this stuff takes practice.

It also requires you to trust that you’re not going to magically flip into some she-devil who eats everyone in her path.
(Even though it may feel like that’s the risk at the start)

Trust yourself.
Trust your integrity.
Trust your intentions.

You ARE
a good person.

And you’re a good person EVEN when you prioritise your needs, your peace, your wellbeing first.

This conditioning runs deep.
Break the cycle.
Tune into your inner leader and ask — what would my unapologetic self do?

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Reclaim your right to be a priority.

And save your sorry’s for when they actually matter.

My grief and uncertainty has had me thinking a lot about my self leadership journey lately.

Gratitude’s been my constant companion.

I feel so blessed to be able to support myself in the ways that I do and I know for sure that the moments of growth and confidence that have shaped the quality of how I show up for myself have come when I’ve felt deeply supported.

Doing the inner work is life changing.

Being supported to grow and bring those changes to life by someone who gets it, who can hold, guide and celebrate you in real time? That’s transcendent.

There’s a sweet spot that mentorship hits that other avenues of self development often don’t access (especially if you’re experiencing them solo like I was a lot of the time).

Is it the devoted 1:1 support and guidance while simultaneously showing up in the ways that stretch you? Maybe.

Is it the intimate, unbiased reflection and help seeing the forest through the trees? Maybe.

Or is it simply the gift of being SEEN, HEARD and EXPRESSED in ways that often seem impossible in daily life?

I think it’s all of it.

One of the resounding things I hear from my clients is that they feel so seen, heard and understood.

It’s not that their other intimate relationships aren’t rich and supportive, it’s that support and perspective filtered from an outside lens just lands different (it can also be A LOT easier to express yourself openly when there’s no fear of bias, hidden agendas or hurt feelings)

On the back of International Women’s day it feels appropriate to say that now more than ever we need more {{ well supported women }} in the world.

Whether through mentorship, friendship, partnership or leadership, may we each extend a hand to lift each other up in which ever way possible.

Truth is, stepping into your fully expressed ‘this is how I really feel’ self is likely to cause some friction in your close relationships. Especially if you’re the one who’s always been the peace-keeper, the quiet one, the one who people can rely on to always say ‘yes’.

It can be tempting to loosen your freshly set boundaries, to zip it 🤐 because last time the conversation got heated, to say yes again even though you’re spent and you just want some solo time to recharge and get your mojo back.

I’ve got intimate experience with this myself and it’s something that I support my clients with all the time as they unsubscribe from the stories telling them self sacrifice is the sign of a good, worthy, successful, loveable person.

Uncomfortable as it is though, this friction isn’t “bad”. It’s actually a very natural (and needed) piece of your evolutionary puzzle, one that offers the most delicious opportunities to deepen and enrich your relationships with honesty, trust and energetic equality (aka you receiving and no longer *over* giving)

Can I get a hell yes!

Wanting to feel seen, heard, supported and validated isn’t selfish, egotistical or some shameful desire, it’s a normal (healthy) part of being human.

And once you say sayonara to the old belief telling you otherwise, the confidence, clarity and freedom that comes from showing up and saying yes to yourself (minus the micro managing) goes from something you just dream about, to reality.

Ready to put all that inner work you’ve done into lived action?

It blows my mind.
The correlation between how well I champion myself and how tired I am is (annoyingly) real.

Beck grumpy or not her usual self? (Aka negative, impatient, indecisive) You can pretty much bank that I’m sleep, rest or solitude deprived and I’ve been like it my entire life (just ask my mum).

Truth is, you probably feel it too because the reality is, is really damn hard to show up as your best self when you’re engine lights on and you feel like you’re running round with three flat tires. Oomph, I feel exhausted just thinking about it.

It’s really hard to say yes to yourself, to trust your instincts, to show up in your full capacity (and integrity) the way you expect your highest self would when all your energy is going towards just putting one foot in front of the other.

If you think about it, you could say it’s kind of a public service us being fully rested. I mean highly sensitive souls bobbling round on edge and under-charged? Yikes, talk about nerve endings over exposed and raw to the touch. Engage at your own risk. 😭🤬🫥

No, rest isn’t something we earn.
It’s not some guilt pleasure that we sneak in between tasks.

It’s our root system.
Feeding every single action, interaction, decision and thought we have.

It’s self leadership at its finest.

So next time that A-hole voice in your head tries to make you feels s**t about it, flip it the bird by treating yourself like the blossoming flower you are and go water your beautiful soul with a big juicy dose of ‘go F yourself’ in the form of a lil guilt-free time out.
