2025 - thank you for your lessons 🐍
Looking back, I can’t quite believe everything fit into 365 days. This was the year that taught me what presence really is, and what it means to let go 🍂
Within the hard lessons came a deeper teaching: when things are uncomfortable or painful, you don’t have to break - you can shed. Expectations, identities, roles, relationships, and values that no longer fit are left behind. In that way, 2025 felt true to the energy of the Year of the Snake - shedding skins not as loss, but as renewal and growth 🌙
Morning sickness, moving house, unexpected people stepping forward and becoming anchors in my life, leaving my treatment space and pausing 1–1s as my belly grew and my back ached. Two surgeries, two recoveries, to watching our little Eris grow and learn - and feeling myself initiated into motherhood, with all its nuance, tenderness, and responsibility. A role that now weaves itself into every decision I make 🌺
From hosting my last circle before giving birth, to finding my way back to hosting them afterwards (cold dips squeezed in too), despite worrying about losing momentum or clients. A reminder that when you show up for what you love and what feels aligned, the right people tend to find you along the way 🪷
This year asked me to release old versions of who I thought I needed to be, and to meet life as it is - not as I planned it. To show up for myself gently, even when I didn’t think I deserved it. And to remember that while it’s often easier to offer grace and patience to others, the same acknowledgement and compassion is something I need to keep practising with myself 🕊️
So here’s to letting go, and moving forward and whatever comes next! 🌊
