A Weekend Whisper for the part of you that doesn’t always have words…

The world feels heavy. That isn’t an exaggeration — it’s an honest observation.

We are exposed to more suffering, more uncertainty, more noise than any nervous system was designed to process. It’s natural to feel tired. It’s natural to feel guarded.

Keeping our hearts open in a heavy world is not about constant compassion or relentless positivity. It is about discernment.

It is knowing what is ours to carry — and what is not.
It is allowing ourselves to care without collapsing under the weight of everything.
It is choosing engagement without self-abandonment.

An open heart is not an unprotected one.
It has boundaries.
It rests.
It turns off the noise.
It returns to what is tangible and within reach.

We might say that love is not fragile — but attention is.
Where we place our attention shapes the condition of our hearts.

So when the world feels overwhelming, we need to try to come back to what we can influence:
our breath, oyr thoughts, our home, our words, our small acts of steadiness.

Staying open does not mean staying exposed.
It means remaining aligned with our values, even when the world feels misaligned.

And that is a quiet kind of strength.

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

A Weekend Whisper for the part of you that doesn’t always have words…

Loving is one of the bravest things we will ever do.

Today the world celebrates love —
but it rarely speaks about the courage it requires.

To love is to soften.
To open your chest without guarantees.
To care deeply in a world where nothing is permanent.

Every time we love —
a partner, a child, a friend, a soul animal —
we accept the quiet risk that one day,
we may have to grieve.

And still… we love.

That is courage.

Love asks us to be present.
To show up fully.
To let ourselves be changed by connection.

It is easier to stay guarded.
It is safer to detach.
But to love anyway — knowing it makes us vulnerable —
that is strength in its purest form.

If you have loved deeply,
if you have felt joy because of it,
if you have felt ache because of it —
you have lived bravely.

Today isn’t just about romance.
It’s about honouring the quiet warriors of the heart
who choose openness over armour.

And that choice, again and again,
is extraordinary.

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

Beyond the Biology: The Spiritual Shift of Menopause ✨🔮
We spend so much time talking about the hormones and the hot flashes (and rightly so!), but there is another side to this transition that often goes unspoken in our modern world: the metaphysical shift.

In many ancient cultures, menopause wasn't seen as a "decline." Instead, it was celebrated as a sacred rite of passage—a time when a woman moves from the "Mother" phase into the "Crone" or Wise Woman phase. 🌙
The "Second Spring"

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, menopause is referred to as the "Second Spring." It’s believed that the energy previously used for the reproductive cycle is now "recycled" and directed inward to nourish the woman’s own spirit and wisdom. It’s a rebirth of the self.

Reclaiming Your Energy
Spiritually, this transition is about unlearning the need to constantly pour into others and relearning how to stand in your own power.
* The Internal Compass: Many women find that their "people-pleasing" filter disappears. This isn't just "crankiness"—it’s a metaphysical sharpening of your boundaries. 🛡️
* Intuition Amplified: As the noise of the reproductive years quiets down, the inner voice often gets louder. It’s a time for deep introspection and creative "birthing" of new ideas, projects, or ways of being.

The Wise Woman Rising
It is so incredibly heartening to see more female experts today shifting the focus back to women’s bodies as a whole. We are finally moving away from viewing menopause through a purely medical lens and returning to the idea that our bodies are wise.

We are the first generation to openly navigate this "Second Spring" with both modern science and ancient soul. We aren't disappearing; we are becoming distilled. L

Do you feel a spiritual shift happening alongside the physical one? Is your "inner compass" pointing you in a new direction? Let’s share our experiences below. 👇

Yes, it's a little late...
Sometimes life happens.
Beautifully. Unexpectedly.
And the words have to wait.

This weekend, time softened, stood still, rushed by, moved in slow motion.
For me, it was my sweet baby girl's birthday, yes I still call her that, even though she's a strong, confident, independent an amazing woman — a moment that felt both magical and impossible to hold.

There are days when time stands still,
and yet somehow moves faster than we can comprehend.
We look at the person in front of us and see the child they were,
the woman they are,
and all the invisible moments in between.

Life is like that.
A collection of ordinary days that suddenly reveal the tapestry of magical moments.
Laughter around a table.
Stories retold.
A shared glance that says remember this.

These are the moments that don’t ask to be documented or explained.
They ask to be felt.
To be lived fully, even as they slip through our fingers.

And later, when the quiet returns,
we realise they have woven themselves into us —
reminding us that even in heavy seasons,
beauty still finds its way in.

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

Hopelessness doesn’t always arrive as despair.
Sometimes it’s quieter than that.
A heaviness in the chest.
A sense that the future has gone dim.
The feeling that everything takes more effort than it should.

When hope feels far away, it doesn’t mean we’ve failed at being positive.
It means we’re tired.
It means we’ve been carrying more than our share — personally, collectively, quietly.

We don’t have to search for hope right now.
We don’t have to believe things will be better.
Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is stop demanding light from a season that is asking for rest.

Hopelessness is not the absence of strength.
It is a signal that something in you needs gentleness, not motivation.

So today, let hope be small.
Let it look like breathing.
Like putting one foot on the ground.
Like staying.

Even when we can’t feel it, life is still moving through us.
That counts.

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

My Secret Weapon for Bone Health: The Vibration Plate ⚡️🦴
While HRT and heavy lifting are my foundations, I’ve added a "not-so-secret" tool to my daily routine that is a total game-changer: Whole Body Vibration (WBV).
If you’ve seen these plates and wondered if they actually do anything—the answer is a resounding yes.

Lymphatic Health!
One of the biggest wins is something we don't always talk about: Lymphatic Drainage. Clinical research in endocrinology shows that WBV is an amazing tool for reducing swelling and pain. By improving blood and lymphatic flow, it helps clear out the "stagnation" that can lead to menopause bloating, bloating in general and inflammation. It’s like a deep-tissue massage for your internal systems!

Finding Your Frequency:
* Low Intensity (Recovery): Perfect for lymphatic drainage. It gently moves fluid through the body, reducing heaviness in the legs and helping with overall detoxification.
* Medium Intensity (Balance): This level strengthens the stabiliser muscles that are key for balance—crucial as our proprioception (body awareness) can shift in midlife.
* High Intensity (Bone Density): This level mimics the stress of weight-bearing exercise. It’s the sweet spot for improving bone mineral density and metabolic health.

Don’t Just Stand There!
To maximize the benefits, I perform active moves on the plate to recruit more muscle fibres:
* Squats: Forces your glutes and quads to work double-time.
* Planks: Engages the core in a way a flat floor just can't match.
* Push-ups: Excellent for upper-body bone density and moving lymph through the chest and underarms.
The result? Better circulation, less puffiness, and an extra layer of protection for my bones.

Have you ever tried a vibration plate? Or are you curious about how to beat the "menopause bloat"? Let’s chat below! 👇

30 Minutes to Strong: My Heavy Lifting Shift

I used to think more was better—more reps, more time, more cardio. But as my hormones shifted, my body stopped responding. I needed a new strategy.

The Strategy: Heavy & Fast. Inspired by Dr. Vonda Wright and Dr. Aviva Romm, I’ve traded endless light reps for a "quality over quantity" approach.
The 4x4 Method:
* 4 Sets | 4 Reps
* Weight: As heavy as I can safely manage.
* Duration: 30 minutes total. That’s it.

Mind Over Matter
It was intimidating at first. My brain said "too heavy," but my body needed the challenge. The biggest change wasn't my muscle—it was my mindset. I moved from "I can't" to "I am." It’s pure mind over matter.

The Balance
Following Dr. Aviva Romm’s philosophy, I keep it to 30 minutes to avoid the cortisol spikes that lead to burnout. It’s about sending a loud signal to my bones and metabolism without taxing my nervous system.
The result? I feel powerful, not depleted. Conquering the heavy weights helped me silence the doubt.

Could you commit to just 30 minutes of heavy lifting? Let’s talk in the comments! 👇

Menopause & Insulin Resistance: The Hidden Connection!
Ever feel like you’re doing everything "right" but the scale won't budge, or your energy is at an all-time low? It’s not just "getting older"—it’s likely Insulin Resistance.
According to experts like Dr. Ben Bikman and Dr. Eric Berg, menopause isn't just a shift in s*x hormones; it's a massive metabolic pivot. When our estrogen levels drop, our bodies naturally become more resistant to insulin.
🧠 The Science (Dr. Bikman's Insight)
Dr. Bikman explains that estradiol (the main form of estrogen) is a powerful insulin sensitizer. It tells your body to store fat in "healthy" places (like hips and thighs) and keeps your cells responsive to insulin.
* The Shift: As estrogen plummets, that protection vanishes. Your body starts storing fat around your midsection (visceral fat) to "protect" itself, and your insulin levels begin to climb.
* The Cycle: High insulin locks your fat cells. When insulin is high, your body physically cannot burn stored fat for fuel. You become "metabolically brittle."
🥑 The Solution (Dr. Berg's Strategy)
Dr. Berg emphasizes that you can't just "eat less and move more" if your insulin is high. You have to fix the hormone before the weight will follow.
* Resistance Training: Muscle is your primary "glucose sink." Dr. Berg recommends whole-body resistance training to force your muscles to soak up sugar without needing massive spikes of insulin.
* Intermittent Fasting: Giving your body long windows without food allows insulin levels to finally drop, signaling your body that it’s safe to start burning fat again.
* Prioritize Protein & Healthy Fats: Stop the glucose roller coaster. Dr. Bikman suggests focusing on protein and fats to keep insulin "silent" so your metabolism can find its rhythm again.
Why This Matters Now
If you’re struggling with brain fog, fatigue, or that stubborn "meno-pot," it’s often a sign that your body is struggling to manage blood sugar. The good news? Unlike the natural drop in estrogen, insulin sensitivity is something you can control through lifestyle.

Some losses don’t just break your heart — they rearrange your soul.

When a soul animal leaves, the grief is different. It’s not only the absence of paws on the floor or a body in their favourite spot. It’s the loss of a presence that anchored you in ways you didn’t fully see until the space became quiet.

Their love weaves itself into your nervous system.
Into mornings and evenings.
Into the way you come home.
Into the silence between moments.

And when they’re gone, the grief can feel confusing — even isolating.
Because it’s deep, and real, and all-consuming…yet often unseen by the world around you.

So many carry this kind of loss quietly. They keep moving, keep showing up, while their heart is still reaching for a soul that once answered without words.

There is nothing wrong with the depth of your grief. It speaks to the depth of your bond. A love that pure does not disappear — it changes form, living now in memory, energy, and the invisible thread that remains.

If you’ve loved and lost a soul animal, you are not alone here. You’re welcome to share their name or a memory of them 🤍

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

The world feels heavy right now.
You can sense it in conversations, in the way people move, in the quiet fatigue sitting behind so many eyes.

There is so much happening, so much uncertainty, so much we carry that isn’t even ours alone.
And the nervous system doesn’t always know the difference between what is near and what is far — it just knows weight.

If you’ve been feeling more tired, more emotional, more tender than usual… you’re not imagining it.
You’re responding to being human in a human world.

When everything feels big, come back to something small.
Your breath.
Your feet on the ground.
The warmth of a drink in your hands.
A voice you trust.
A patch of sky.

This isn’t about ignoring the pain or pretending things are fine.
It’s about remembering that even in heavy times, light still exists in quiet places.

A moment of stillness.
A kind word.
A small beauty you almost missed.

Silver linings aren’t denial.
They are anchors.

And sometimes, grounding yourself is the most healing thing you can do for the world around you, too.

Wherever this meets you, may you feel held in Love and Light 🤍

The Midnight Dance-Off 💃🛌
Remember when sleep just happened? Me neither. My old nightly ritual? Staring at the ceiling like it was a gripping Netflix finale. 🍿

The Turning Point: HRT
That was me months ago—exhausted and desperate. Then came Progesterone. Often called "nature’s va**um," it replaced the "calm" I lost during menopause. It was like finally being tucked in by a professional. 😴

The "Whole Thing" Overhaul:
Hormones were the key, but I had to clean up my side of the street too:
* The Caffeine Cut: Goodbye, late-afternoon lattes. ☕🚫
* The Wine Trap: Trading red wine for deep REM sleep. No more 3 AM night sweats! 🍷❌
* The Temperature Tango: Comforter on, comforter off, leg out, leg in. Repeat until sunrise. 🔥❄️

From "Ceiling Starer" to "Sound Sleeper," the combination of medical support and lifestyle shifts changed everything. If you're doing the "one leg out" dance right now, hang in there—there’s a way back to rest!

Are you a "ceiling starer" or have you found your sleep solution? Let’s swap survival stories below! 👇
