Most people think their anxiety is random.
But it’s not.
It’s a pattern.

A predictable loop your system runs when it feels unsafe.
Often driven by an archetype:
the People Pleaser, the Saboteur, the Empath, the Caregiver, the Control Freak…

When you can name the archetype, the anxiety loses its power.
You understand what your system is trying to do for you.

This is the work of Steady Steps — a gentle 5-week 1:1 journey to help you understand your patterns, regulate your body, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

If you’re ready for your next step — steady, not overwhelming — it’s here.

Found myself thinking about leadership this weekend.

Folks proclaiming to be a leaders really makes me feel a bit nauseous 🥴. A bit like hey, I’m a guru (what ever you say….).

We can only lead when others want to follow. And whether we want to follow someone depends on what they’re offering, sharing and whether it aligns with our desires, beliefs, and values.

I’ve noticed some self proclaimed leaders are actually governing. Their energy is about ruling, having folks follow their rules and dictating what the rules are.

The energy is very different. And I wanted to speak to this when we think about self-leadership and what it means to own our truth and act in alignment with that and our values.

When we lead ourselves, we take inspired action and have a willingness to be open to change through learning. We lead with curiosity, courage and compassion.

When we slip into the role of Governor, we can easily slide into shadow behaviour - applying rigid rules to ourselves and thought processes, which can lead to shame spirals and black and white thinking - because we try to adhere to the structure we’ve created.

Sometimes we need to be both leader and governor - but most of all we need self awareness. A willingness to keep checking in, listening to others and reevaluating our behaviour and beliefs is a sign of true leadership IMO.

The era of the people pleaser is over 💥

Neptune is leaving the emotional waters of Pisces and stepping into the fire of Aries, and the collective energy is changing with it.

No more shapeshifting to keep the peace.
No more softening yourself to make others comfortable.
No more spiritual martyrdom disguised as compassion.

We’re entering a cycle of clarity, courage and initiation.

But here’s an uncomfortable truth:
If you don’t understand your archetypal patterns, this shift can push you into shadow behaviour that look like:
impulsive decisions, blurred intuition, saviour energy or self-doubt wrapped in fire.

These are some of the things you’ll learn to detect and navigate in Archetypal Alchemy certification training.

A practitioner-level training that teaches you to:
🔥 move from people-pleaser to aligned warrior
🔥 recognise your shadow before it hijacks you
🔥 lead from clarity, not emotional fusion
🔥 trust your intuition without collapsing into chaos
🔥 hold your fire with grounded, embodied presence

AND - know how to help your clients do the same.

The world doesn’t need more harmony-keepers.
It needs clear, compassionate, conscious leadership. It starts with you and ripples out to your clients.

If you’re ready to step into the new era with power and purpose,
Archetypal Alchemy is where that transformation begins.

There’s a kind of self-care that isn’t bubble baths or routines…
it’s space.

It’s letting your nervous system unclench.
It’s allowing yourself to be held by community instead of carrying everything alone.

When you arrive in Bali you feel the way that wisdom is lived so naturally.
The togetherness.
The tenderness.
The devotion to ritual and reciprocity.
The way presence is a daily practice, not an ideal.

When you join us for Rise, you’ll experience this same wisdom, a remembering of who you truly are.

You’ll enjoy a week of spaciousness, cultural learning, shared circle, and a gentle homecoming to yourself.

And for the next few hours, you can join us with a $150 flash-sale saving.

If your heart is craving rest, community, and the kind of care that actually fills you…
this might be your moment.

If you’re craving change but keep circling the same thoughts… this is the moment to move.

Because choosing to stay the same costs more than any amount of self care ever will.

I can be very opinionated.

I often speak (unconsciously) with authority (Mercury in Capricorn), but most of the time I’m not aware of this and doubt myself a lot!

Sometimes I say things that feel true, or right, or that I believe are correct, only for me to discover later that I’ve been a right plonker, I have delivered incorrect information and I was talking absolute drivel.

And here’s what’s true for me - I’m ok with that.

I’m ok with getting things wrong and making mistakes because I’m not perfect. I’m human.

I’m ok with trying things that fail and redoing them differently - because that’s how I learn.

More than this, I am not afraid to own my s**t and say sorry when I hurt someone or when I make mistakes.

We can all double down when we feel threatened - mostly when we can’t own our shadow, but I really try to see other perspectives that aren’t my own. It doesn’t mean I always change my mind, but it helps me be less of know-it-all (which clearly I am not).

One of my greatest teachers always said that owning your s**t, being able to apologise and change your stance, are the biggest signs of growth. And I believe that.

Understanding why you feel anxious, how to navigate it and how to hold it - is specific to you and the part or archetype that gets activated.

We can all self soothe with distraction and we can all use generic techniques to help our nervous system regulate.

But being able to sit with discomfort, without tipping into overwhelm requires a different approach for every one of you - because your triggers and activated parts/patterns are all different too!

Everyone welcome (especially white western witches I😜)
