Have you ever pressed "publish" — or opened your heart to someone — and immediately felt a wave of did I say too much?

That knot in your stomach. The second-guessing. The quiet fear of being too much, or not enough.
I wrote about this. About the vulnerability hangover no one talks about. About the difference between oversharing and conscious sharing. And about the gentle ways I've learned to tend to myself after I've been deeply seen.

Because how we care for ourselves after vulnerability matters just as much as the act of sharing itself. 🤍

There was a time I used to stand at the edge of the dance floor and freeze.

I wanted to move. I could feel something in me that wanted to let go, like I used to in the past, in my childhood, in my early twenties — but another part of me would step in and shut it down.

“This is silly. This is unnecessary. You can’t do this here.”

So I’d hold myself back. Armour on. Identity intact.
I didn’t realise how much of myself I was holding hostage.

Then something shifted. Inside my Prana Vinyasa yoga training, where free flowing dance was an integral part of the experience, surrounded by women who were also letting go, I felt something I hadn’t felt in a long time — safety. Safety to be free. Safety to move without performing.

And I found myself dancing.

Not politely. Not carefully. Really dancing — in front of a big group — for the first time in years.

I remember saying out loud: “I haven’t danced like that in so long.”

And I meant it down to my bones.

That was the beginning of something. Water running back into a dry riverbed.

Now I dance with my kids. I dance before and after yoga classes — sometimes during. I lead groups into free movement and watch the same thing happen to them that happened to me.

The water is running in my blood again. I feel the pull of the tide. The phases of the moon. The sacred rhythm of my own body.

And my life — honestly — is richer than it had been in a long while.

Because I had forgotten those pieces of myself.

Water didn’t just free my body. It freed my mind — from rigid thoughts, from shoulds, from perfectionism, from the beliefs that were quietly keeping me small.

It has been a life changer.

If you too feel stuck — in your body, your creativity, your joy, your sense of aliveness — I want to invite you to something.

The Water Retreat — May 16th — Allambee Sanctuary, Brisbane

A one-day immersive retreat for women ready to stop holding it all together so tight — to soften the tightness of the body and the mind, let themselves move, feel, and flow back into the creative, sensual, joyful truth of who they are.

Sunday was something I will carry for a long time.

To every woman who said yes to the Earth Retreat — thank you. Thank you for showing up, for planting your feet on the ground, for letting your body shake and your voice out, for sitting in stillness and letting the gong move through you.

What you gave the day by simply being there — fully, openly — was everything.

And the shifts are already rippling. One woman shared how profoundly something had moved in her by the end of the day. That is why I do this work. That is everything.

If you felt something stir in you yesterday — or if you’ve been feeling the call for a while — the Water Retreat is coming. May 16th. Early bird is open now.

With so much love, Dorothee 🤍

Thank you and 💖🙏🏼💖

Hi beautiful women 💚

I have a question for all of you.

When did you last do something that was entirely, unapologetically for you?

Not for your clients. Not for your children. Not for your business or your household or the endless list of people who need something from you.

Just for you.

I ask because I feel this too. I have felt it deeply.

The exhaustion that lives underneath the capability. The longing to just breathe — really breathe — without someone needing something the moment you do. The quiet guilt that rises the instant you even consider taking a day for yourself instead of your family, your business, your responsibilities.

That guilt is so familiar. And so undeserved.

Because here is what I know:

That guilt? That instinct to put yourself last and call it love or dedication or responsibility?

That is exactly why you need this day.

I’m Dorothee — a women’s empowerment coach, yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, mum, and former corporate leader of 20 years.

For most of my career — and for a long time as a mother — I was the resource. For everyone. Endlessly.

I was available, capable, reliable. I gave and gave and held it all together.

And I was slowly, quietly, disappearing.

What brought me back was not a strategy or a system.

It was the earth. Literally.

Planting my feet on the ground. Breathing slowly. Letting my nervous system remember that it was safe to stop.

And everything changed — how I felt, how I showed up for my children, how I led, how I ran my business.

A woman who is genuinely replenished gives differently. Leads differently. Mothers differently.

She is not depleted. She is not performing. She is present.

That is what I now create for other women.

This Sunday, March 29th, I am holding space for a small circle of women to do exactly that.

The Earth Retreat · Allambee Sanctuary, Brisbane · 9am – 5pm

Prana Vinyasa yoga · Sound healing · Drumming · Meditation by the water · Sharing circle · Nourishing plant-based food

One day to stop being the resource — and let yourself be replenished.

I would not have believed this was me ten years ago.

I was the woman with the women in suit. The skincare routine. The deep aversion to anything involving insects, mud, or the absence of climate control.

And here I am. Barefoot. In a forest. Dancing.

Not performing joy. Actually feeling it.

There is something that happens when your feet touch the earth — really touch it, without shoes, without hurry, without an agenda — that no boardroom, no achievement, no supplement has ever replicated for me.

Your nervous system exhales.
Your thoughts slow down.
Your body remembers it belongs somewhere.

This is not spiritual bypassing. This is physiology.
This is a woman who spent twenty years living from the neck up — finally, slowly, coming all the way down.

I am still learning this. Some days I forget entirely.
But I keep coming back. Because this — this aliveness — is what I was missing in all those years of achieving.

—

If something in you recognises this woman — or longs to — I want you to know this is the last day to book the Earth Retreat this Sunday, March 29th.

One day. Allambee Sanctuary. Barefoot on the earth, held by nature and a circle of women.

There is a moment many high-performing women know but rarely name.

You’re in a meeting. Or at your desk. Or lying awake at 2am.
And somewhere beneath the to-do list and the deadlines and the relentless forward motion — a quieter voice asks:

Is this it?

Not because your life isn’t good. But because you can’t actually feel it anymore.

You’ve been so long in your head — strategic, efficient, always one step ahead — that the rest of you has gone somewhere you can’t quite reach.

I spent twenty years in that place. I was excellent at it. And I was profoundly, quietly lost.

What brought me back wasn’t a new strategy or a better morning routine.

It was the earth. Literally.
Feet on soil. Body on ground. Nervous system finally, slowly, coming home.

And everything changed — my clarity, my decisions, my presence, my aliveness.

—

This Sunday, March 29th, I am hosting the Earth Retreat at Allambee Sanctuary — a one-day immersive experience for professional women ready to step off the hamster wheel and plant their feet on actual ground.

Yoga. Sound healing. Drumming. Meditation by the water. Nourishing food. A genuine circle of women.

Not a day off. A recalibration.

The kind your nervous system has been asking for — probably for longer than you’d like to admit.

Allambee Sanctuary, Brisbane · 9am – 5pm
Spaces are limited and bookings close in 24h.

The boardroom will still be there on Monday.
The question is — which version of you will show up to it?

For most of my adult life, I treated my emotions as a liability. My need to rest as a weakness. My moon cycle as an inconvenience.

I had been raised in a world — and built a career in a world — that valued the masculine: logic, strategy, endurance, productivity. Push through. Show up. Deliver.
The feminine qualities — sensitivity, cyclical energy, intuition, the need for deep nourishment — were, I had quietly learned, inferior. Embarrassing. To be managed, not honoured.

I was not just disconnected from my body. I was at war with the parts of it that were most essentially, most powerfully, mine.

I called my emotions 'being too much'.
I called my rest needs 'being lazy'.
I called my cyclical energy — the ebbing and flowing that is the actual, biological intelligence of a woman's body — 'being inconsistent'.

I had internalised, so deeply I could not even see it, the belief that a woman's worth was measured by how closely she could approximate a man in a system not designed for her.
And I had been very, very good at it.
And it had cost me enormously.

The deconditiong — I'll be honest — was not pretty. It involved grief. It involved rage. It involved sitting with the enormity of what I had given away in exchange for acceptance in spaces that would never fully receive me anyway.

But on the other side of that grief — and I am still walking through it, some days — I have found something I had never known existed: the actual power of being a woman. Not in spite of my sensitivity. Because of it.

Emotions are intelligence. Cycles are wisdom. Rest is not laziness — it is the mechanism of renewal that makes everything else possible.
I do not perform calm anymore.
I inhabit it. From the ground up.


Earth Retreat is built from this understanding. It honours the cyclical, the embodied, the feminine — not as a theme but as a way of being held for an entire day. If you are ready to stop performing and start inhabiting — this day is for you. March 29. Link in bio.

When I first started to feel that something was missing, I did what I had always done. I got busy.

I signed up for more things. I optimised my mornings. I read the books. I tried the practices. I added and added and added — convinced that somewhere in the accumulation, fullness would appear.
It did not.

Trying to heal exhaustion with more doing is like trying to fill a well with more buckets. The well doesn't need filling. It needs to be allowed to replenish itself — from the underground spring that was always there.

The underground spring, I eventually understood, was not a strategy.
It was presence. Embodiment. Permission.
It was the moment I stopped treating my rest as something to get through in order to perform again.
And started treating it as the thing itself.

This was not comfortable to learn.
I had built my entire identity on capability. On output. On being the woman who could handle it.
Slowing down felt like failure.

What actually happened when I stopped adding and started subtracting — releasing the identities, the need for achievements, the need to justify my rest — was something I hadn't anticipated.
I found myself.
Not the self I had constructed. The one beneath it.
Quieter. Wiser. More honest.
Somehow, impossibly, more capable — but from a different place.

There is a version of you that doesn't need to earn her aliveness. She is waiting for you to stop being so busy. That's all.
Earth Retreat is not another thing to add to your list. It is one day to take everything off it — and remember what you feel like underneath. March 29. Allambee Sanctuary. Link in bio.

For twenty years, I was very good at becoming what other people needed me to be.

I was efficient. Reliable. Strategic. I delivered results and I earned respect and I collected titles.

I was also, underneath all of it, slowly disappearing.

The corporate world is not designed for women's wholeness. It is designed for productivity. And I was very productive. And I was very lost.

I learned, over two decades, to distrust my emotions — they were 'too much'. To manage my energy cycles — they were 'inconvenient'. To perform steadiness when I felt uncertain. To smile when I was depleted.

I learned to lead from the neck up. To make decisions from logic alone. To treat my body as a vehicle — something to fuel and maintain enough to keep producing.

I was good at this. That was the trap.

The better you become at performing, the longer it takes to notice you've stopped feeling.

I stopped crying at things that should have moved me — and called it resilience.
I stopped resting properly — and called it dedication.
I stopped following my instincts — and called it professionalism.
I stopped taking up space with my needs — and called it being a team player.
I stopped listening to my body — and called it discipline.

None of it was strength. It was survival. There is a difference.

—

The reconnection — to my body, to the feminine, to nature, to something older and wiser than any boardroom — did not happen overnight. It happened slowly. Through yoga. Through grief. Through sitting in circles with other women. Through putting my feet on actual earth and letting myself feel held by something that had no agenda.

I had to unlearn almost everything I had been taught about what success looked like. What strength looked like. What I looked like.

I am still learning. That's the honest truth.

But I no longer mistake performance for aliveness.
And I no longer believe that rest is something you earn.

—

If any of this landed — Earth Retreat was designed for you.

One day to remember what you feel like when you're not performing.

I want to tell you something that still makes me laugh — and also shows me exactly how far I have come.

I used to hate camping.
The bugs. The heat. The sleeping on the floor. The absence of a proper shower and toilet.
I had bed comfort standards. I had a skincare routine. I had temperature control needs.

Nature was something I appreciated from a safe aesthetic distance in my twenties. A nice walk. A view.

My journey didn't start with me being spiritual or earthy or naturally drawn to the land. It began with grief, and loss, and a body so depleted it started refusing to perform.

And somewhere in that falling apart — I started falling into something else.

Into the earth, literally.
First tentatively. Then hungrily.

Now —

I have slept on the ground and felt held by it. I have put my feet on wet soil and felt something in my nervous system release that no supplement, no meditation app, had ever touched.

I tune into my moon cycle. I notice what each season asks of me.

I have felt more at home in nature than I ever did in any boardroom.

The earth does not ask you to perform. It does not care about your title or your makeup. It does not have a meeting after this. It simply holds you. Unconditionally.

And for a woman who spent decades earning her right to rest — that is everything.

What I am learning is simply to remember that I, too, am made of earth. That all of us are. And that we have been trained to forget it.

I am not telling you that you need to become someone who loves camping.

I am telling you that the woman you think you are — polished, controlled, allergic to discomfort — may not be the whole truth of you.
There may be a wilder, more rooted, more ancient woman underneath.
And she has been very patiently waiting for you to remember her.

—

Earth Retreat at Allambee Sanctuary is not camping. It is a beautifully held day in nature — an invitation to feel the earth beneath you, and to be surprised by what that does to your body, your nervous system, and your sense of who you are.
