What do you have to be grateful for today?

The things we take for granted the most, are the things that give us our foundations. How about starting with those?

Don’t get me wrong… I absolutely love the signs of spring. 🌼
It’s my favourite time of year. The light returning, the birdsong, the first flowers bravely pushing through the soil.

But here’s the truth…

My body isn’t quite ready yet.

It’s still craving winter ā„ļø

It’s craving slow mornings, dark evenings, being wrapped up warm, long walks in crisp cold air, and the deep kind of rest that you don’t realise you need until you finally allow yourself to stop.

And honestly… that has really surprised me.

Because for most of my life, winter was the season I dreaded.
Especially here in England - long, grey, damp days that felt heavy and never-ending.

For the past few years, my life has looked pretty magical from the outside.
Travelling between the UK and New Zealand, spending months at a time in the sunshine, soaking up time with family, living what many people would call ā€œthe dreamā€ āœˆļøšŸŒžšŸ˜Ž

But what I hadn’t bargained for…
was how deeply my body would start to crave something I had spent years trying to escape.

After losing my mum last year, I gave myself permission to stop travelling for a while.
To stay.
To rest.
To experience a proper winter again.

And my body has loved every single minute of it.

It’s still asking for more.

And that has taught me something powerful.

There really is a time for every season.

Not just in nature - but in our lives.

We live in a world that constantly tells us to keep going...
To be productive.
To stay busy.
To push through.

And when we don’t… we often shame ourselves for it.

But our bodies aren’t designed to live in permanent summer.

They need recovery after the busyness.
They need space after the giving.
They need quiet after the noise.

If we ignore that need for long enough, our bodies don’t just cope…
they quietly (and sometimes loudly) begin to fall apart.

Rest isn’t a luxury.
It’s essential.

The ancient ones understood this.
We’re just need to remember it again.

And what’s even more beautiful is that after years of missing spring altogether, I’m finally here to witness it again.
The daffodils.
The crocuses.
The blossom.
The sound of life returning 🐦

I’m loving it deeply…
while still honouring that one winter wasn’t enough to make up for all the winters my body missed.

The real lesson for me?

We must learn to soften.
To slow down.
To tune in.
To really listen.
To nourish instead of push.
To trust the quiet wisdom of the body.

Because your body already knows what you need. šŸ’›

You feel so tired but you can't switch off.

You are surrounded by people but still feel invisible.

You miss having meaningful connection but there’s nowhere you can just be without having to explain yourself.

You want support but you don't want to be judged or told what to do
I see you.

I’ve been there too - and that’s why I created something gentle, sacred, and truly supportive.

Sister Circle is a monthly gathering for women like you.

Women who are craving calm. Connection. A safe place to land.

No pressure. No judgement.

Just a beautiful healing tent, candlelight, herbal tea, space to journal, reflect, and breathe again.

Come as you are - whole or unravelled.

Speak, or sit in silence.

All of you is welcome here šŸ’œ

If your heart whispered ā€œthis is for meā€... Then book your space now.

You don’t have to do this alone anymore. I’ve got you.

There is so much magic when women come together in community, harmony, compassion and love. That’s what happens in sister circle. There’s no judgement, no fixing, just the freedom to speak your truth and to be seen, heard and validated.

I want to share with you the theme we explored this week, which was ā€œworthinessā€.

For so many of us, when we’re hurting, we keep piling on the pain until we’re spiralling down into the darkness.

One thing happens that upsets us and we make it mean so much more than it is, we remember all the other hurts and the old, familiar beliefs come to the surface and we pile those on too…

…until we end up in a quagmire of self-pity, victimhood & self loathing.

When we make a choice, when we decide that we are going to start loving ourselves and removing the ugly, hurtful, untrue words from our vocabulary… then we can start to have a much better quality of life.

When we learn to love ourselves, we open ourselves up to so much more - joy, peace, empowerment, purpose, motivation.

We set firm, loving boundaries to protect our energy, our space and our integrity. We start trusting and listening to our intuition And we start saying yes only when it feels truly aligned and no when it doesn’t.

It’s not about who we were and what we did - that’s all in the past - it’s about who we are becoming.

We read a beautiful poem by Donna Ashworth, attached.

The journaling prompts we used were -

ā€œWhen I’m hurting, do I seek more darkness to hurt myself more?ā€

And

ā€œHow can I allow myself to feel the love?ā€

Feel free to journal on these too. Light a candle & maybe some incense, set some music on to play, pull an oracle card (if you have a deck) and gift yourself the space to explore this theme.

How and where are you hiding/denying your worth?

ā­•If you’d like to explore this and other deep subjects in a loving and compassionate space, my next Serenity Sister Circle is on Tuesday 10th March at Market Weston Village Hall.

🌿If you want to consider the option of going deeper by working 1:1 with me then book yourself a free freedom call and we can explore the options together.

🧔I’m super excited about my upcoming online group course called Birth of A Beautiful Woman for which I've opened a waitlist.

It breaks my heart to see someone stuck in a story that’s holding them back from the life they deserve.

We’ve all had those moments where the same self-doubts play on repeat.

It’s painful watching someone trapped in a cycle of limiting beliefs, unable to move toward the life they’re truly capable of having. šŸ’”

But the good news?

You do have the ability to break free, reshape your mindset, and create a new story - one that empowers you instead of holding you back.

Now is the time to take control, shift your mindset, and step into the life that’s truly yours. 🌟

If I had to start again, here’s what I’d do differently…

I used to be exhausted, burnt out, and chasing everyone’s approval.

Always doing. Always proving. Always trying to be ā€œenough.ā€

Today, I live from a place of peace, purpose, and true power.

But if I had to start again, here’s what I’d do differently:

🌺I’d listen to my body the first time it whispered, instead of waiting for it to scream.
🌺 I’d prioritise emotional healing as much as physical wellness.
🌺 I’d set boundaries early - and keep them without guilt.
🌺 I’d choose rest, softness, and self-compassion over hustle and perfection.
🌺 I’d let myself grieve the old stories before rushing to write new ones.
🌺 I’d reconnect with the part of me that always knew I was worthy.
🌺 And I’d find mentors and healers who saw me - not just my symptoms.

If you’re somewhere in this journey, I see you.

If this resonates for you then my upcoming group online course Birth of a Beautiful Woman may be just what you need to move beyond your current reality to become the beautiful, empowered woman you were always meant to be.

Do you want to hear something crazy? You.are.amazing. I mean it.

We get so lost in the stories we tell ourselves and listening to the voices in our heads that we lose sight of the truth.

And the truth is that you are amazing - in ways you're not even aware of.

So stop listening to the lies you're telling yourself and start believing that you were born perfect and you are still perfect just the way you are.

Start treating yourself like you are your own best friend.

You deserve to be your own best friend.

We often forget to tell ourselves the things we need to hear the most.

But the truth is, you deserve all the love and kindness you give to others.

The relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for everything in your life.

So today, celebrate the incredible person you are - and give yourself the appreciation you truly deserve.

If this resonates for you or you'd like some guidance or support then book a free Freedom Call with me https://smpl.is/ah23u

What happens when you finally put yourself first ā¬‡ļø

You stop feeling resentful.

You start healing for real this time.

You start healing for real this time.

The exhaustion begins to lift.

Your body starts to feel safe again.

You remember who you were before life asked you to be everything for everyone else.

And you realise... you were never meant to come last.

Imagine a weekend where you can put yourself first… and just be.

No masks. No demands. Just you, your breath, and a circle of kindred women.

But, you don't need to imagine... you can experience all of this and more at my retreats.

The secret power of gathering in Circle

You might be surprised by what awakens in you.
Something happens when women come together in Circle.
Something quiet.
Something ancient.
Something powerful.

We don’t compete, we don’t compare...
We listen, we hold space, we witness...
And in that witnessing, healing begins - not just for the woman speaking, but for all of us.

This is the medicine that has been missing for so many of us:

Being in community without expectation.
Being held without needing to perform.
Every Circle is different, but every Circle is sacred.

If you’ve been feeling the pull - even if it feels unfamiliar...follow it.

You might be surprised by what awakens in you.

Going from People-Pleasing to Self-trust in less than 2 minutes.

Take a deep breath, place your hand on your heart, and repeat these lines with intention ā¬‡ļø

šŸ’› I honour my own needs and trust my inner wisdom.
šŸ’› My voice matters, and I am safe to express it.
šŸ’› Saying ā€œnoā€ is an act of self-love, and I embrace it with confidence.
šŸ’› My worth is not defined by the approval of others.
šŸ’› I am free to set boundaries that protect my peace.
šŸ’› I give myself permission to choose what truly feels right for me.
šŸ’› The more I trust myself, the more my life aligns with my truth.
šŸ’› I stand in my power, knowing that I am whole and complete as I am.

Follow me for more gentle guidance and loving support

Real growth happens in the moments when you want to give up but choose to keep
going.

Every challenge you face is shaping the strongest, most authentic version of you.

Keep trusting the process. You’re closer than you think.

The Sister Circle isn’t for everyone.

It’s not a place for small talk, surface-level advice, or quick fixes.

It's a place for someone who holds it all together - for her family, her work, her community - but is quietly falling apart on the inside.

It’s for the woman who is tired of being strong and pushing her needs aside.

If that’s you, this is your invitation.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» To sit in a candlelit healing space, surrounded by women who get it.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» To be welcomed into a calm, softly lit space with cushions, warmth, herbal teas and a peaceful vibe.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» We begin every Circle by agreeing to a few key principles:

Confidentiality. No advice giving. No fixing. Just deep, respectful presence.

Then something powerful begins…

šŸ‘‰šŸ» You’ll be guided through a grounding meditation .

šŸ‘‰šŸ» You’ll draw a card for guidance.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» And then, through gentle journaling prompts, you’ll begin to see yourself and your patterns more clearly.

Not as you think you should be, but as you truly are.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» There’s also space for movement, music, even laughter.

šŸ‘‰šŸ» We’ll share poetry, close with reflection, and you’ll leave feeling lighter.

This isn’t therapy.

It’s a felt experience, one that softens you from the inside out. You have to be there to feel its power.

You won’t leave the same as you arrived.

✨ Women who’ve attended say:

"it’s the only place I feel truly seen."

and

"I didn’t realise how much I needed this until now."

This space could help you feel grounded, safe, and connected to yourself again.

This month’s in-person Sister Circle is on Wednesday 10th December at Market Weston Village Hall, Suffolk (UK) from 7–9pm or online on Sunday 7th December 7pm-8.30pm.

You are so welcome here. Exactly as you are. šŸ’œ
