Love a throwback- 2016 – the year that changed everything!

I had to jump on the bandwagon, because after looking back I realised how this year was truly pivotal for me.

I started 2016 in a very toxic and abusive relationship.
One that would take a long time to recover from!

And yes… the duck face game was strong back then 😅

After the breakup, I went to Prague with my mam. Looking back at those photos now actually makes me sad. I can see it so clearly- the anxiety, the fear, the heaviness. My eyes look sad and I found it really hard looking back at those pics!

But then… I was free.

And I embraced that freedom with everything I had.
So many trips to Tunbridge Wells to see one of my best friends, dancing the nights away and slowly remembering who I was again.

I got to see my teenage favourite band Busted live in London after they reunited and I cried through the entire thing (Zero shame, hello Charlie😂)

I did a photoshoot just for me 📸 Hair, makeup, the whole lot. I still have the photos somewhere and I’m so glad I did it. That was the real beginning of me taking my power back after being controlled for so long.

I drank a lot of pear cider 🍐And found a new kind partner who helped regain my trust in relationships again.

My drink was spiked in a very famous club in London. I couldn’t talk or walk, but I could sense everything. Like being trapped inside a glass box, unable to do anything. A homeless man actually helped us get me an ambulance as the police said I was “just drunk”. My mam flew over the very next day & was was never so happy to see her!

I flew back and forth to Ireland constantly, as I was living in England at the time. Having been there nearly three years by then! My heart was always in the Emerald Isle 🇮🇪

And then there was Dingle…
A trip with my best friend where I started to realise maybe he was more than just my friend. Nothing happened, but something shifted.

I should have trusted that shift even though I admit the timing wasn’t right. Because that same boy is now the main man in my life and the father of my baby 💚

2016 broke me…
but it also rebuilt me.

Not usually one for a trend but this one got me!

✨Animals as Messengers ✨

A pair of swans crossed my path on my stroll at the beach yesterday and it was a quiet moment that stayed with me 🦢 🦢

When they appear as a pair, they’re often seen as a symbol of soul connection, balance and partnership 💚 A reminder of love, loyalty and moving in harmony with another or within yourself.

Swans are also linked to transformation, encouraging us to trust our own rhythm and honour the truth of who we are, even as life shifts around us.

When an animal appears repeatedly or catches your attention in a moment of stillness, it’s worth pausing and noticing what’s being stirred within you.

✨ Pay attention to the animals that present themselves to you.
They may be offering guidance, reassurance or a powerful sign just when you may need it.

Comment what animals have been making themselves known to you recently and I’ll do a post on the most common ones and what they mean 🦋

🎄 Nollaig na mBan- Women’s Little Christmas 🎄

On the 6th January Nollaig na mBan is an Irish tradition that marks the end of the Christmas season. Its origins lie in a time when women carried the weight of the festive period- cooking, the hosting, the caring (often without rest or recognition). This day was set aside for women to finally pause 🌬️

Traditionally women gathered together, free from household duties while the men took over the work of the home. It was a day of rest, conversation, laughter, and quiet celebration 🎉 It was a small but meaningful acknowledgment of women’s work and importance within the community.

But Nollaig na mBan is more than a historical custom. It carries a deeper, enduring message!

It reminds us how vital it is to honour the circle of women around us- the friends, sisters, mothers, aunties, daughters, mentors and chosen family who hold us up. The women who remind us who we are when we feel lost. Who witness our becoming. Who offer truth, tenderness, humour and strength in equal measure 💚

In a world that often asks women to give endlessly, Nollaig na mBan invites us instead to receive rest, recognition and connection.

To gather. To celebrate one another.
To say: I see you. I value you. I couldn’t do this without you.

So today I invite you to send a message of love to the women who steady us, challenge us and walk beside us ✨

Watching everyone reflect on 2025 and what they’re carrying into 2026… here are my biggest lessons from 2025:

• The value of my circle. My support network is my village. Without them I couldn’t do it all. And I don’t want to anymore.

• Listening to my body before it screams. Two endo flare ups, months apart, unable to walk, unable to lift my own daughter. I ignored my intuition out of fear of failure and my body kept the score until I was forced to listen.

• Investing in my physical health. Moving my body not as punishment, but as stress management, prevention and rehabilitation. Post partum doesn’t end after a year or three and we don’t talk about that enough.

• Balance. Too much of anything isn’t healthy. Too much spiritualising. Too much intellectualising. Growth happens when we live in all the realms rather than escaping to the one that feels safest.

• Burnout being praised. It’s insidious. It always catches up. We weren’t meant to do it all. Surrender and asking for help has been one of my biggest lessons.

• Not everyone shares my morals or beliefs and that’s okay. Values matter. Alignment matters.

• Energy never lies. Trust your intuition. If something feels off it usually is. A devil dressed as an angel is still a devil.

What I’m leaving in 2025:

• Comparison
• Working too much & having loose work boundaries
• The urge to prove myself especially to myself and choosing self acceptance instead
• Being so serious. More fun in 2026
• Judgment and my inner critic especially around motherhood. I have never doubted myself more and I’m done letting that voice shout at me!

So here’s to welcoming in a year of less proving, more being and living in a way that feels true to me 🙏🏼

24/12/2025

Nollaig Shona daoibh 🎅 ~ Happy Christmas to ye all 🌲

Sending you Blessings, Love and Abundance for 2026.

Ending the year with a heart full of appreciation for all your support this year!
