I have written this as a reflection of what happened in my local community yesterday. 🙏💕

Yesterday’s attack at the Hunakaeah event at Bondi Beach shaken our local community deeply.

This is our local beach — where our children play, where families gather, where friends meet, where the community comes together to relax, laugh and simply be. To know that fear briefly entered a place that represents freedom, joy and connection is confronting for all of us.

And yet… what has stood out even more strongly is this truth:

Love and light always triumph over darkness. 💕

We cannot allow the actions of a couple of individuals to redefine who we are, how we live, or the way we come together. Bondi — and communities like ours — are built on connection, kindness, diversity and care. That foundation is far stronger than fear.

In moments like this, we are reminded of the importance of standing together. Of checking in on one another. Of holding our children a little closer, supporting our neighbours, and choosing compassion over division. When we come together, darkness loses its power.

Let this be a moment that strengthens us rather than fractures us. A reminder that community is our greatest protection, and love is our greatest force.

Sending love to everyone affected, and gratitude for the helpers, first responders, and everyday people who showed courage, care and humanity.

Bondi is — and will remain — a place of light 🤍🌊

🌿 What Does Wellbeing Mean to You?

Is it feeling good in your body every day?

Is it choosing foods that nourish and energise you?

Is it doing the things that light up your soul—creating, connecting, laughing, or simply being?

Is it your daily walk in nature where you reconnect with yourself?

Is it the peaceful pause of your meditation practice?

Or gently catching those spiralling thoughts before they carry you to places that haven’t even happened?

💭 Wellbeing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal. It’s layered. It changes.
Sometimes it’s thriving, and sometimes it’s simply surviving with care and compassion for yourself.

Here are a few gentle prompts to consider today:

✨ What’s one thing that supports your wellbeing right now?

✨ What’s one thing that might need to shift?

✨ Who could you reach out to if you need extra support?

Wellbeing starts with awareness. And sometimes, all it takes is a small step to bring things back into balance.

💚 If you’re feeling out of alignment, overwhelmed or unsure—know that you’re not alone. There are people who care and want to walk with you, not ahead or behind, but beside you.

Feel free to reach out, reflect, or share what wellbeing looks like for you today. Your version matters.

🌿 Well-being Wednesday Check-In 🌿

Let’s pause and have an honest conversation with ourselves…

Your well-being isn’t just about green smoothies and meditation (though we love those too!) — it’s about balance across every area of your life.

Take a moment to reflect on these core areas:

🏡 Home – Is it a sanctuary or a stress zone?
💼 Work – Is it fulfilling or all-consuming?
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family – Do you feel present and connected, or stretched too thin?
❤️ Partner – Are you nurturing your relationship, or just passing each other by?
💸 Money – Is financial stress holding you back from the life you want to live?
🎉 Social Life – Do your friendships lift you up or leave you drained?
🧠 Other – Health, spirituality, personal growth… what else is craving your attention?

Now ask yourself:
✨ Which areas are giving you energy?
⚡ Which are draining you or feeling out of alignment?

Maybe your job leaves no time for your loved ones.
Maybe finances are keeping you from doing things that nourish your soul.
Maybe you’re so busy doing that you’ve forgotten how to just be.

This week, choose one area to realign.
Set one small intention.
Because when one part of your life shifts, the rest begins to flow too.

💬 Which area of your life needs more love right now? Drop a comment below or DM me — you’re not alone in this journey.

This is your gentle nudge to pause and really feel gratitude today. Big or small — a warm cup of tea, a kind word, a moment of calm — there is always something to be thankful for.

🌿 Well-Being Wednesday Reminder 🌿

Most of us spend so much time running around, taking care of everyone else, that we forget to check in with ourselves.

✨ Please don’t ignore symptoms by brushing them off as “just age” or “I’m tired because I’m busy.” Your body speaks to you—listen.

Make that appointment. Get your blood work done. It doesn’t mean you have to commit to one style of care. You can still choose a natural, holistic path—or a traditional one. It’s your health, and your choice.

⚠️ It’s not normal to be in constant pain.
⚠️ It’s not normal to feel exhausted all the time.
⚠️ It’s not normal to feel down or emotionally flat more often than not.

You deserve to feel well—mind, body, and spirit.

🌸 Find a practitioner who sees you as a whole person.
🌸 Book that massage.
🌸 Take time to stretch, do yoga or Pilates, go for a walk, swim, or hit the gym.
🌸 Nourish yourself with healthy food—and don’t be afraid to supplement if needed. Even the best diets can fall short.

💛 You matter too. Today, and every day, take a moment to prioritise you.

🌬️ Feeling anxious or scattered? Try the 4-7-8 breath.

Here’s how:
• Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds
• Hold your breath for 7 seconds
• Exhale slowly through your mouth for 8 seconds

Repeat 3–4 rounds. This activates your parasympathetic nervous system (your calm response) and can help lower anxiety in just minutes.

Give it a try and let me know how you feel 🧘‍♀️

✨ Declutter for Better Chi & Clarity ✨

Ever noticed how you feel when you walk into a space that’s clean, clear, and calm? The energy flows freely. Your mind relaxes. Your body softens. You breathe deeper.

Now compare that to a cluttered, messy space—chaotic, heavy, overwhelming. Your energy contracts. Your mind races. You feel stuck.

🌿 Decluttering isn’t just about tidying up—it’s about making space for fresh chi (life force energy) to flow into your environment and your life. When you clear physical clutter, you also clear mental clutter. It becomes easier to think clearly, feel grounded, and access new ideas and inspiration.

✨ A clear space invites calm.
✨ A calm space invites clarity.
✨ Clarity opens the door to manifestation.

Let go of what no longer serves you and make room for what wants to come in. Decluttering is an energetic signal to the universe: “I’m ready for more. I’m ready for better.”

🌸 What could you let go of today—physically or energetically—to make space for your next-level life?

🌿 Well-being Wednesday 🌿

How are you really feeling today?

Take a moment to pause and check in with your body, your thoughts, and your energy. 🧘‍♀️💭

Stress doesn’t just live in our minds — it shows up in our bodies too. Headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, poor sleep, and even digestive issues can all be signs that stress is silently taking its toll.

✨ That’s why regularly checking in on your stress levels is essential to your overall well-being.✨

Ask yourself:
🔹 Am I holding tension anywhere in my body?
🔹 Have I taken a moment to breathe deeply today?
🔹 What’s been weighing on my mind this week?

If you’re feeling a little off, here are a few simple ways to reduce stress and bring yourself back into balance:

🌿 Take a walk in nature
📝 Journal your thoughts and feelings
💧 Stay hydrated and nourish your body
🎧 Listen to calming music or a meditation
💆‍♀️ Do a quick round of EFT tapping
💤 Prioritize rest and quality sleep

Your well-being deserves your attention — not just when you’re burned out, but every day. 💖

✨ Today, give yourself permission to slow down, reflect, and reset. ✨

🌸 Thoughtful Tuesday 🌸

Today is a gentle reminder to slow down and be thoughtful—with your words, your actions, and especially with yourself.

Being thoughtful means being present, truly listening, and acting with kindness and intention. It’s the small, mindful choices we make that can bring the biggest shifts in our day—and in someone else’s too. 💫

✨ Whether it’s sending a kind message, making time to breathe, or simply noticing how you’re feeling—every act of thoughtfulness adds a little more light to the world.

💖 Journal Prompt:
How can I bring more thoughtfulness into my day today?
Reflect on how you can show kindness to yourself and to someone else—big or small.

Let’s make this Tuesday meaningful, one mindful moment at a time.
With love,
Rachael 💕

✨ How to Relax, Recharge & Renew in a Busy Life ✨

Let’s be honest—life is full.

You’re a mum, wife, grandmother, taxi driver, cleaner, chef, house organiser, maybe working full-time or part-time… the list goes on.
It’s a delicate balancing act—and it’s a lot.

But here’s the gentle reminder:
👉 You can’t pour from an empty cup.
Taking time for yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. 🌿

Here are just a few ways to refill your cup and reconnect with YOU:

💫 Yoga or meditation
💫 Walking, gym or aqua aerobics
💫 Reading, learning, or listening to music
💫 Watching your favourite team or joining a choir
💫 Lunch with friends or a solo dinner
💫 Sitting in the sunshine or soaking in a bath
💫 Saying “yes” to what feels good—and “no” without guilt

You don’t need hours—just a few intentional moments each week can change everything.

✨ What’s one thing you’ll do just for you this week? Let me know below 👇

Have a beautiful day everyone and ensure you do at least one thing for yourself today even if it is a quick 5 minute meditation 🧘‍♀️🙏💕💫

🌿 A Grateful Mindset 🌿

Life isn’t always perfect — and truthfully, it’s not meant to be. We’re human, and that means we’ll face challenges, emotions, and days that don’t go as planned. But here’s the beautiful part: even when things around us feel out of control, we always have the power to choose our mindset. 💭

Gratitude and positivity aren’t about pretending everything is perfect — they’re about choosing where we place our focus.

We can’t control other people’s behaviour, their moods, or the unexpected twists of life. But we can control:

✨ Our thoughts
✨ Our energy
✨ Who we spend our time with
✨ The way we speak to ourselves
✨ What we choose to notice and appreciate

Spend more time with people who uplift you. Give yourself permission to create space from those who don’t. Protect your peace like it’s sacred — because it is.

Gratitude starts with small, intentional moments:
🌼 Noticing what’s good
🌼 Being present for what’s working
🌼 Saying “thank you” even when things aren’t perfect

It’s not about denying the hard stuff — it’s about remembering that even in the middle of it, there’s still something to be thankful for. And that mindset can change everything.

💛 What’s one thing you’re grateful for today? I’d love to hear it below 👇
