And now I'm pondering why it feels somehow ✨️audacious✨️ to say "I am plenty" or "I am great" .. maybe part of why "I am enough" is such a popular affirmation is -because- it allows us to be more positive while still being 'humble'... So, maybe be audacious anyway, take up space, and let yourself know that you are more than enough. You're plenty 😊💛

Our calendar has tricked us into thinking January is some kind of Grand Beginning. But if we look to nature, in the Northern hemisphere at least, it tells a very different story.

January marks the depths of winter. Everything around us is resting, shedding leaves, preserving energy. Our animal bodies are craving rest, sleep, and warming comfort foods. Yet we somehow convinced ourselves that a season that is made for hibernation, is the perfect time to start Couch to 5K.

This time of year, if we listen closely, is asking us to go inward. To prioritise rest. Warmth. Ease. A much slower pace. Our wonderful inner goal-setters are working not just against the parts of us who want other things, but against our very nature and biology. No wonder we get so burnt out.

What if followed nature’s lead and let January be a time to conserve our energy? To reflect on the year past, and to begin dreaming instead of doing.

Take the time now to slow down, reflect, and plant little seeds. By the time Spring arrives, with its burst of new energy and sunlight, those dreams will begin shooting up through the earth, ready to grow and bloom. It’s then that you will start to see the results of the wintering you allowed yourself to enjoy in the months before.

If you’ve read this far, you might be wondering but what does this look like? What do I actually do? Which is a great, and valid question, especially if this concept feels new or unfamiliar.

You can find out how by reading the rest of my blog where I share ideas and practices to help you, or you can join me this Saturday at 10am GMT on Zoom, where I'll be guiding you through the entire process. I'd love to see you there 💛✨️

If you're craving a gentler start to the year, while still wanting to enjoy and make the most of the New Year energy- this post is for you ❄️🩵

I used to be someone who set New Year’s Resolutions religiously. When the bell tolled midnight I’d be excited, convinced that this would be the year my life changed. I’d have a shiny new journal at the ready, and all my goals mapped out, ready to begin My Best Year Yet. Starting with a 30-day ...

How we set our goals matters SO much. Not just for how likely we are to achieve them but for how the act of working towards them will feel. Focusing on our values, our "why", rather than just the physical result we want to see... that changes things.

I'm all fired up and excited to share this magic with you in January. If youd like a space to reflect, to get clear on what you ACTUALLY want (not just what you think you should do) come and join me on Saturday 18th January. We'll sprinkle some magic on those goals of yours and make sure they feel truly aligned, so you can build a 2026 that doesnt just look good on the outside, but feels good on the inside.

Did you set any goals for 2025? Did you achieve them? How are you feeling about it all? 💛

Learning to accept and even embrace the fact I'm a sensitive person has been (and continues to be!) quite the journey. Tuning in to the times that being sensitive feels good and really savouring those moments is such a gift to my nervous system. If you struggle with sensory overwhelm too I'd love to know is there anything that has made you grateful for your sensitivity lately? And if not could you find something? 💛

If you've been labelled as socially anxious, oversensitive, a people pleaser, a perfectionist, or a control freak... If you find yourself feeling like you have to "perform" in social settings and rehearse what you're going to say or spend hours going over it all afterwards... If you've spent your life feeling weird and out of place... If you struggle with burnout and exhaustion even when others seem to be coping just fine with the same demands... annnnd if you've been in and out of therapy wondering "what's wrong with me" and despite working SO hard and doing all the "right" things, you're still struggling...

Well, firstly it makes sense that you're here because that's most of the women who choose to work with me... so welcome 💛 and also, have you ever considered that you could be neurodivergent? Why or why not? Whether it's never crossed your mind, you've been wondering about it, or you're 'officially' or self diagnosed, I'd to hear your thoughts and answer your questions ✍️✨️

Lately I've been slowing down, listening to the inner pull to essentially hibernate, and spending more time resting (and going for walks looking at pretty lights!)

So I’ve not written a blog this month, and I haven't been posting much either. But I do want to tell you about what's coming up in January.

I'll be holding a beautiful workshop for anyone who loves setting goals, all that excitement and possibility of ‘new year new me!’ but who hates the inevitable feeling of failure that sets in when you don’t quite measure up, or you fall off the wagon (again). It sucks doesn't it?

What if we could do January differently this year? What if we could find a way to set intentions that actually feel good, so you can stick to them AND enjoy the process?

If this speaks to you, I'd love for you to come and join me on Saturday 17th January at 10am. We’ll spend 90 minutes together exploring why our usual ways of setting goals don’t work, and how to approach goal setting in a way that feels good AND gets you results. We'll set ourselves up for a 2026 that doesn't just look good on the outside, but feels good on the inside.

Feeling overwhelmed? Slow your scroll for a sec. Take a breath. Businesses everywhere are trying to convince you it is all urgent, that you just HAVE to take advantage of this ONE TIME ONLY OFFER. On top of christmas shopping and food prep and sending cards and seeing friends and family and booking the panto and decorating the house and don't forget it all needs to be organic and homemade and ethical and don't forget to be grateful and to practice self care and and and and.. It's a lot. But none of this is an emergency. Remind your body you're safe, it's ok to slow down, and breathe. Turn down the noise where you can.

Oh the irony of still spending 20 seconds talking about being cold 🙈

My point was that this time of year is really hard. Our bodies want to be slowing down, staying warm, sleeping and resting more... but in reality we're busier than ever.

We are expected to keep working and performing at the same rate we do in the summer, possibly without seeing sunlight for days on end.

So if you're feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or just finding this time of year hard, that makes so much sense. We're literally meant to be hibernating.

So may this be a reminder to take some vitamin D, rest where you can, cut yourself some slack, and be incredibly, wildly, unreasonably* kind to yourself.
