I was hoping to share my finished energy space today

Instead, life threw me a curve ball in the shape of a huge, completely unexpected problem with the carpet

So, excitement & anticipation has turned to disappointment & delay (to put it mildly)

So the room isn't ready yet
The plans I've made might be on the back-burner whilst I decide what next
But I've not come this far to give in now

Building a calm space takes time
Sometimes the lesson is about patience

All this time, I've been trying to build a business that's based on real nervous system experience

Well thanks very much, universe, for keeping it real & reminding me to be careful what I wish for! 😂

To all the incredible women I know
And those I'm yet to encounter

Remember
Today, on International Women's Day
And
Every
Single
Day

You are literally made of stars
Allow yourself to shine bright

I honestly hadn't realised how dysregulating the "you must do all this to build a business" noise had become

It creeps in quietly
We don't notice

Then it gets louder
Then louder

Until it drowns everything else out & we feel exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck

And now I've heard it

I don't want it

So I'm practising what I preach

Less noise
More nervous system support

Regulation first leads to progress later

04/03/2026

Most of us aren't exhausted

We're overstimulated & under-supported

What "holding space" looks like...

Slowing down
Soft voice
Guided breath
Permission to soften

No fixing
No performance

Just a little time & space
To land
To return
To just be

Does your brain like to wander off the beaten track & then go on strike when you're now juggling more plates than you intended? - Mine does

I've sat with how I've been feeling

I've realised I drifted a bit (a lot)

In trying to create a business, my brain's been screaming at me

You need to learn the business-y stuff
Funnels
Buyer journeys
Algorithms
Blah blah blah...

That is not my world & in thinking I needed to live in that world, I lost sight of the actual work

My world is energy
This is where I belong

The work is simple

It's slowing down
It's regulation
It's creating space where the body can settle

This is my world & I'm staying here

I've never run my own business before & I'm ridiculously introverted

You're not going to get flashy content here

You're going to get me
Learning
Practising
Refining

And most importantly,
Supporting
Caring
Holding

If you're here for steady support rather than shiny performance, this just might be the perfect place for you

#1 Energy tip you won't find in a textbook or on a retreat...

These are the cards I received from my daughters last week for my birthday

Both professional, adult women
Degrees. Careers. Responsibilities

We built natural idiocy into our parenting methods on purpose & it's the best long term investment we ever made

Joy doesn't have to be sophisticated to be powerful

Fun is not childish
It is medicine

When was the last time you had a really good belly-laugh?

Prioritise the giggle- it recalibrates more than you realise

25/02/2026

It turns out I'm not the only one feeling the weight of the world right now & is it really a surprise?

- Grey days
- Financial pressures
- Heavy headlines
- Constant outrage

It all seeps in, takes its toll on our nervous system

But

We are not designed to carry 24 hour, wall-to-wall crises in our pockets (or our hearts)

Remember the Serenity Prayer a couple of posts back?

You can't change what you can't change

It's not avoidance
It's regulation

You don't need to fix the whole world

Just tend your little corner of it & see what grows

23/02/2026

I'm feeling quite out of sorts at the moment & I know I'm not the only one

I decided to pull a card to point me back in the right direction & tell me what I need to know right now

This is a Reboot Your Soul oracle card, created by Hassall & beautifully illustrated by Maggie Goleniak

And if this is what you need to hear right now, let this be your reminder too...

💖 You may have forgotten, but you are literally a living miracle of the universe

Instead of dwelling on feelings of lack of error, it's time to see yourself in the light & acknowledge just how far you've come

You've achieved so much more than you give yourself credit for so stop looking back & start moving forward

What are your next steps going to be?

Do you know about the Serenity Prayer?
A little energy awareness goes a long way...

18/02/2026

Last week, the car was at the garage for work done. We were about to take the dog out when we realised...
• The lead was in the car
It was pouring with rain...
• His coat was with his lead
We borrowed a lead & set off...
• We forgot poo bags & had to turn back
We set off again then realised we'd forgotten gloves...

Have you noticed how when something goes wrong it can quickly be followed by more & more...
One thing after another, until you find yourself angry, frustrated, upset, or all of the above

This is why becoming aware of your energy can be really helpful-

The next time you realise your energy dominoes are starting to gather up pace, check in with your energy, stop them in their tracks & redirect them in your favour

If you're not sure how to do this, drop me a comment/ DM, or keep popping back to this page to learn how to empower yourself by becoming energy-aware 💖

Tuesday 17th February 2026 is, energetically speaking, definitely a day to watch out for!
Read to the end to see what this could mean for you

February 17th 2026 marks-

The start of the Chinese Lunar New Year
The year of the fire horse
Holds these energies-
Intensity
Momentum
Transformation
Breaking free
Pushing forward
Enthusiasm & embodied action...

New moon-
Holds these energies:
New beginnings
New opportunities, possibilities
Growth & progress
Setting goals & intentions...

Solar eclipse-
Holds these energies:
Awareness (self, others, or situations)
Wake up calls/ breakthroughs
Amplification of the new moon energies
New beginnings
Making firm plans for the future...

And it's my birthday
- Because keeping myself alive for another year is no easy task & worth celebrating! 🥳

Anyway, joking aside, my point is this...

The fact that all these already highly energetic events are all happening on the same day (birthday notwithstanding) means-

• The energies they each carry are even more powerful

• This is a great time to tune in to whichever of these energies really appeal to you right now (& there's plenty to choose from!)

So my message to you today (in no particular order)...

• Anyone can work with energy (even if you're not sure you believe in it) & see the changes

• You don't have to know about all the things or do all the things & you don't have to look, or even think a certain way

• You can pick & choose where to spend your own energy

• You can (& I wholeheartedly recommend this) see what element(s) makes sense to you & work with that, in your own way

💖 Are there any energies/ suggestions mentioned above that really appeal to you right now?

💖 Are you inspired to take action in relation to any of these areas I've mentioned or research more about any of these energetic events?

I'm setting my intention to harness the expansion energy of the fire horse to break free from overthinking & really set my wheels in forward motion, what about you?

(Spoiler alert- you don't have to wait for a "special days" to work with your energy, just take the action that resonates with you when it feels right for you)

13/02/2026

• What are you grateful for today?
• What are you going to celebrate today?
• What's one thing you're going to do just for you today?

I'm celebrating the fact that all 3 coats are now on the ceiling. I'm really pleased with how it looks AND my arms & neck still work! 🥳
Would I choose a ceiling colour that needs 3 coats again? - NO WAY! Lesson learned 😂

I decided to treat myself to an early birthday present this week- my first piece of art for my soon to be finished energy space 💝

My beautiful print has arrived & it's even more stunning in real life. I can't tag her in for some reason, but go check out Maggie's art at
maggiegoleniak.com 💖

So, beautiful people, today I challenge you to find something to celebrate in your life- no matter how big or small... & be sure to notice how that makes you feel inside 😘
