Weekly reflections on life, conversations, and the small moments that matter.

Growth In Stepping Back

Over the past week, a few conversations have stayed with me. Alongside them, I’ve found myself navigating new ground with my own children, remembering how parenting shifts as they grow, and learning again what it means to step back, trust, and allow space.

You see, there comes a point in life when we realise that our role in another person’s journey is not to shield them from the world, but to trust them enough to meet it in their own way.

Loving someone is giving them the space to grow, to stumble, to explore, and to learn, just as we once did, whilst still having the ability to be there if and when we might be needed.

Loving someone doesn’t always mean holding on tightly out of fear, worry, or concern. Often, that comes from a deep desire to protect them, but sometimes love asks us to step back a little, even when doing so feels deeply uncomfortable.

Growth can often come wrapped in uncertainty, mistakes or setbacks, it comes from facing challenges and obstacles. None of these are something we need to fear or protect someone from, because they are an essential part of personal growth and life’s teaching. It’s in the moments of independence, that resilience, character, and quiet strength are all built.

They also teach us patience and problem-solving, and they leave us with the stories, insight, and empathy that we can then offer others in the years ahead. The marks they leave are not signs of weakness or failure, but evidence of learning and growth.

When we step back and allow others the space to make mistakes, we are actually giving them the very opportunities that we once had and needed, the chance to discover, reflect, overcome and grow.

For parents especially, this can be one of the most challenging things to navigate. The instinct to protect the ones we love runs incredibly deep, and in today’s world that instinct is constantly heightened. Times have changed, and the freedom we once experienced isn’t always available or as simple now, and the world can feel uncertain, louder, faster, and a lot less forgiving than previously.

Holding the balance between loosening the reins and keeping a watchful, loving eye requires immense trust, not only in our children, but in ourselves too. It asks us to accept that protection doesn’t always mean prevention, and that guidance doesn’t always require control.

Our own life experiences have equipped us to guide others, not to control them or their experiences! True guidance comes from empathy and lived experience, not instruction alone. The lessons we have learned through falling and rising time and again, can, and often do become the very bridges that connect us deeply with others.

We can share, advise, and support, because through living not avoiding, we have gathered the wisdom and insight to do so, we can relate because we understand, we can have empathy because we’ve lived through similar experiences.

And it is through granting others that same freedom, and space, that love becomes expansive rather than restrictive. In stepping back, we create space for growth, for them, for us, and for life to unfold naturally.

So maybe today, take a moment to pause, and ask yourself if there is anywhere you might be able to, or need to, loosen your grip just a little. Sometimes stepping back isn’t a loss, it’s an act of faith, in growth, in life, and in the quiet strength of those we love.

Reclaiming You!

I have been noticing recently that there seems to be a strong theme unfolding this year, both collectively and within the people around me. I keep seeing it, keep hearing it, and keep finding myself in conversations with those who are standing on the brink of forward movement, or a turning point. So many seem to be in the process of recognising, embracing, or gently taking back their inner power.

There appears to be a real shift happening, not loud, not dramatic, but steady, undeniable, and inspiring. For some of you, it’s showing up in moments of clarity, sudden urges to move forward, heal, and progress, in boundaries being set or reconsidered, or in questions like, “Why have I been giving so much of myself away, while neglecting my own needs?” or “What would it feel like, what would change, if I actually chose myself right now?” For some, this is the first time they’ve realised just how disconnected they have become, from themselves, and their own inner power.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post where I shared that in numerology, 2026 is a Universal 1 year. It’s a year that brings the energy of new beginnings, transformation, independence and encouraging us to step into something new. A year that asks us to initiate change, rather than wait for it. To lead, rather than just follow what has always been done before.

Astrologically, this year also carries some powerful and influential alignments, placing a strong emphasis on coming back to ourselves, living our truth, and long-term change. Old structures, both internal and external, are being gently but firmly challenged. What was previously built on fear, obligation, or self-abandonment is no longer sustainable, and people seem to be recognising this in abundance right now.

This combination of universal energy, along with the gentle shifts happening in our personal and collective energy, is helping to create those moments where we suddenly realise that our power was never truly lost, maybe just misplaced, handed over through conditioning, survival, people-pleasing, or the quiet belief that we had to be smaller and unheard to be safe. What we start this year will lay the foundations for the future. It’s time to really consider what changes you wish to create internally and externally.

Taking back inner power doesn’t mean becoming hard, guarded, or forceful. Often, it looks much more gentle and internal than that. It can be as simple as listening to your body and trusting your own intuition. Saying no without feeling the need to over-explain or justify. Allowing yourself to change and move forward, without needing anyone else’s permission or approval. Choosing rest instead of pushing on, living by your own truth, accepting help instead of struggling, and choosing yourself again and again.

Once you remember who you are beneath the roles, the expectations and the stories, the path forward begins to reveal itself, quietly, steadily, and with a deep integrity.

Inner power is not something we have to create, it is something we remember. And when we do, everything begins to shift from the inside out.

Let me know your thoughts, have you felt or noticed this energy too?

With warmth, love and light

Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone (With Determination)

Most of us have a “comfort zone” and mine is amazing, it knows my routines. It doesn’t ask too much of me. It doesn’t demand bold decisions before 9am! and it doesn’t invite unnecessary discomfort into my day-to-day life, it simply exists. And for a long time, that felt fine.

However, that sense of comfort has a quiet way of turning into something else. Not suddenly, not dramatically, but just slowly enough that you might not even notice it at first, and it can become quite restrictive, maybe even a little destructive.

Then one day, a sense of restlessness can creep in. A feeling that staying where you are is no longer as comfortable as it once was, and that feeling has been with me for a while now.

You see staying in your comfort zone isn’t always about not wanting to do something, and stepping out of it can take more strength and determination than others might realise. Sometimes it’s about wanting to do something, while also hearing the inner voice that seems to have a way of preventing you from doing so!

This week, I’ve experienced the need to step out of my comfort zone, along with a sense of determination, and a large sprinkling of self-doubt. Not quite enough self-doubt to prevent me, but enough to make me question if I could, that inner voice wondering if I’d get it wrong, feel out of place, or struggle more than I expected, or could even cope at all.

But the decision itself was already made, and never really in doubt! What really remained was the need for me to steady myself and to move forward anyway.

There was an event this week that meant so much to someone I love very much, my daughter. This wasn’t just an event in the diary, this was a day to celebrate her, and everything she has worked so incredibly hard to achieve.

So, showing up was never in question, and certainly wasn’t about me, or pushing myself for the sake of it. It was about being present for her, even if that meant stepping beyond what felt familiar or easy for me. Any nerves or self-doubt quickly became secondary to the pride that I felt by simply being there and watching her.

And somewhere between emotions and deep pride, I was also reminded that sometimes we can find or rediscover our own strength, not by focusing on ourselves, but by simply choosing to show up for the people we love and care about.

And as I watched her, I felt a deep sense of admiration, remembering the times she has faced her own challenges, the moments she’s stepped beyond her comfort zone, despite that familiar inner voice of self-doubt that we can all experience. Her desire to succeed and follow her dreams has required sheer determination and strength from her, time and time again.

Alongside that admiration, there was a sense gratitude, for having reached a place where I could simply be there with her, present and open, on a day that meant so much. And in many ways, that too, was because of her!

And in the days that have followed, I have also noticed something else, that by stepping beyond what’s comfortable, as well as helping to create memories, it can also show you what you’re capable of, and it can gently help to reshape how you see yourself.

So, here’s a little reminder from someone who’s literally just done it, it’s okay to feel nervous, it’s okay to hear that inner voice of doubt. But sometimes it’s also necessary to carry some determination right alongside it.

Because when you do, the reward isn’t just in the moment itself, it’s in the memories, the growth, and the quiet satisfaction that will stay with you long after.

And yes, your comfort zone will still be there when you get back! But maybe, just maybe, stepping out for a little while will remind you that you’re stronger than you realised, and that sometimes, the best views can be found when we allow ourselves to gently step outside of our comfort zone.

HALFWAY THERE

I thought I would share with you something that I’ve been thinking about recently, mostly because I keep catching myself doing it.

Have you ever noticed that there are certain activities that give off a really strong “I’m being productive” energy, without ever actually producing very much at all?

Some of them may even involve lists, plans or reorganising, which all really help to sell the illusion of productivity.

Take rewriting that to-do list, for instance,
Not updating it, not crossing things off, just rewriting it “Neatly”, onto a fresh piece of paper, maybe rearranging it so it feels more achievable, even though it contains the exact same tasks as before.

We’ve all done it, right? I bet you’re even having a little chuckle to yourself right now at the memory of doing exactly this, and feeling oddly pleased about it at the time.

Nothing had changed, except the handwriting, and somehow, that still felt like progress.

Then there’s the weekly meal plan,
Carefully thought out, balanced, realistic and affordable.

Then Monday arrives, and for reasons that feel completely justified at the time, you end up cooking something entirely different. That’s it, the plan goes out the window. Tuesday dinner relied on Monday’s leftovers, and well, Wednesday was already a stretch, so by Thursday, the meal plan only exists as a faint memory pinned to the fridge.

And yet, while you were planning and writing it, it felt very organised, very capable, almost like this was the week it would all finally come together.

Another favourite of mine, much to my family’s annoyance, is reorganising things, like the cupboard you opened yesterday knowing exactly what was inside, or the drawer that has never once failed you when you needed something.

But still, something compels you to reorganise it, maybe even label it or creating sections. And as you do, you tell yourself, “This will definitely make life easier!”

You’re smiling now, aren’t you? Because you know full well that your future self totally ignored this new system, and either put things back wherever they landed, or spent ages searching for the thing you once knew exactly where to find.

Then there’s good old Google… Something most of us do at some point,
Looking up local gyms, reading reviews, comparing prices, Checking timetables.

You now know exactly which gym you “would” go to.
You’re not actually going to go, BUT if you did, then perfect you’ve already decided which one.

Most of us have done these things, and the research, and the intent, somehow feels energetic enough to count as effort, right?

The same applies to reading those endless articles you don’t act on like
“How to be more organised.”
“Easy ways to save money.”
“Simple routines for busy people.”

You read them thoughtfully, you find yourself nodding along, you may even bookmark one or share it, And there’s a quiet sense of achievement as you close that tab, as though just absorbing that information alone, deserves some kind of acknowledgement.

There’s also the planning things in great detail that may never actually happen, like those morning routines designed for a version of yourself who wakes up early, moves effortlessly throughout the day, and never forgets why they actually walked into the room.

That version of yourself is impressive! Damn, you’ve really got it together. But realistically, for most of us, it’s fictional.

Jokes aside, none of this feels like wasting time when we’re actually doing it. It feels intentional, sensible, responsible and productive. But maybe these things aren’t really about productivity at all?

Maybe rewriting that list, planning those meals, researching the gym and reading those articles is a way to stand close to change without fully stepping into it. A way of feeling prepared. A way of feeling like we’re trying, even on the days when energy, confidence or motivation might be in short supply.

Sometimes however, these things really are productive. There are moments when rewriting that list brings clarity, when planning those meals genuinely eases the mental load, when researching or reorganising can create a sense of safety, direction, or readiness. In those moments, these quieter tasks aren’t a waste of time, they’re groundwork. They help us to gather ourselves, reduce overwhelm, and gently prepare for the action that will come later.

Not everything productive looks like ticking something off or moving forward in visible ways. Some progress happens beneath the surface, quietly aligning things so that when the time is right, we’re not starting from nothing.

So, if you’ve ever felt oddly accomplished after a day where nothing measurable seems to have actually happened, you might have achieved more than you think.

We’re all busy, just maybe not always in the ways we think!

I would really love to hear about the things you do that feel productive, but may never quite lead anywhere?
Meal plans? Lists? Endless research? Reorganising the same space for the fifth time?

With warmth, love and light, Liz Xx💜

Still Learning, Still Growing

This is a post for those of us who’ve lived, learned, healed, at least to a degree, and still find some days surprisingly hard.

Apparently, this is the part where I’m meant to have it all figured out, or at least, that’s what I’d told myself!

The lived experience.
The lessons learned the hard way.
The holistic knowledge I’ve worked so hard to gain about health, healing, and myself.
The ability to support others calmly, thoughtfully, with perspective, and without judgement.

All of that is supposed to add up to a chapter where things finally feel settled, certain and clearer,... right?

And yet, here I am!…

Still having days where my energy seems to disappear for no obvious reason.
Still feeling unsure of myself and my place in the world at times.
Still needing more rest than I think I should.
Still pausing mid-thought and realising I don’t actually have the answer, or even the words, that I would usually offer someone else.

I’ve experienced quite a lot.
I’ve known trauma, illness, recovery, and the slow, quiet work of rebuilding everything. I’ve learned how to listen to symptoms, the signals, the subtle or sometimes forceful ways we’re asked to slow down and pay attention. I’m often the person others can come to for assistance, reassurance, perspective, or just a steady presence.

And still, sometimes I can struggle myself.

Not dramatically.
Not in a “everything-is-falling-apart” way.
But in a quiet, ordinary, very human way.

For a long time, I thought this must mean I’d missed something, or that I was doing something wrong. That I should be past this by now and have everything figured out!
What I’m learning though, is that this isn’t how growth-or life works.

Wisdom doesn’t mean being finished, healing doesn’t mean immunity, and learning doesn’t stop just because we’ve already learned a lot.

If anything, it asks for us to adapt, to gain a different kind of understanding, it doesn’t undo what I’ve learned or cancel out the growth I’ve made, but it does bring a gentle reminder that learning and growth never stops, and that the compassion I offer so easily to others needs to include me too. And that, in itself, is growth, it’s something I never used to recognise.

Some days that might look like resting earlier than planned.
Some days it looks like not pushing on or searching for clarity.
Some days it’s simply noticing the old familiar urge to be hard on myself… and choosing not to be!

There’s no big revelation here guys, there’s no epiphany or neat ending.

Just a growing understanding from me, one that I hope you can relate to as well, that healing doesn’t make us immune to being tired, experiencing uncertainty, or exclude us from the need for compassion or gentleness.

And if you find yourself here too, if you’re someone who’s done a lot of inner work, someone who shows up so often for others, and wonders why it can still feel so hard sometimes, I want you to know there’s nothing wrong with you.

You’re not behind.
You’re not failing.
And you’re certainly not alone!

Take A Moment

At the start of a new year, there’s often a lot of focus on what’s next. We think about who we are, who we want to become, and what the months ahead might hold for us. But alongside that forward-looking energy, I’ve found myself reflecting on something else too… how much growth can happen before we might even realise it.

I’ve noticed this not only in myself, but in my children as well. Small moments of confidence. A willingness to give something one more try. A positivity where there once was hesitation. And it’s reminded me that growth doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it shows up quietly, in the everyday moments that we almost overlook.

So often, we can find ourselves focused on the goals, the dreams, the things still needing to be done, the endless mental to-do list that never seems to get any smaller! Yet it’s just as important for us to pause once in a while, to take a breath, and really see how far we’ve already come.

So why not take a moment today to reconnect and think about the days gone by, the ones that felt impossibly heavy, when just getting through the day felt like an achievement. We all experience them from time to time. The times when things didn’t turn out as you had hoped they would. Those moments when you weren’t sure you could manage… but you did anyway. Maybe not gracefully, maybe not always with a smile or a sense of joy, but you showed up, you kept going, and you chose growth, even when it might have felt easier to give up or walk away.

It’s in these moments of reflection that you begin to notice something important… you notice that you are already a version of yourself that you once hoped you’d be. The wiser one. The stronger one. The healthier one. The calmer one. The one who knows when to rest, when to keep going and try again, and when enough really is enough.

So today, I’d like to encourage you to pause and reflect, even if only for a moment, and allow yourself a sense of pride and recognition. It doesn’t have to be loud, and you don’t need to shout it from the rooftops (unless you want to). It just needs to be a moment that says, “I see you. I know what you’ve experienced, what you’ve overcome, how much you’ve grown. And I’m proud of you!”

Then allow that sense of pride to carry you forward over the coming months. Let it gently spur you on, safe in the knowledge that one day, these months ahead will hold the same quiet power too.

You Are The Sign!

As my first blog post of 2026, I wanted to share something I hope you can relate to and carry with you through the weeks and months ahead.

So often, we look outward for signs, for reassurance that we’re on the right path, that we’re enough, that we’re doing okay.
We wait for something or someone else to confirm that what we’re feeling inside is right.

And while those outward signs can hold meaning, offer comfort, and sometimes gently guide us, they are not meant to replace our own inner knowing.

What if the most important sign you need actually comes from within?
What if that feeling inside is actually your biggest sign of all?

If something feels right, not rushed or pressured but calmly aligned, allow yourself to take a step towards it.
If it brings a sense of unease, sit with it for a while and allow things to unfold gently.

One thing I said to my daughter the other day when she was in this position is this…
We are all amazing at talking ourselves out of things we want to do or achieve, the things that matter to us, the things that help us grow, but we are not always as good at talking ourselves into them.

We allow doubts to creep in, we overthink, we put unnecessary obstacles in the way, or we place our value into the hands of others.

What if we could all start this year with a little more confidence and self-belief?
What if we began paying closer attention to the signs within?

These are not things you need to search for or prove.
They already live inside you, alongside your quiet strength, your courage, and your willingness to keep going, even on the days that feel hard, and when motivation feels like it forgot to show up.

So today, and in the weeks and months ahead, gently remind yourself
you don’t need to search for signs or reassurance.
You simply need to believe in and trust in yourself, and who you are.

Carry that knowing with you.
Let it guide you, steady you, and soften the moments when doubt creeps in.

With warmth, love, and light,
Liz xx💜
