Woman’s Mentor ~ Sunday Private Letters ~ sunscribe via Rest2Flow website

26/02/2026

I want to share something I wrote yesterday, because I think many of you will recognise this.

Nobody tells you that coming back to yourself looks a lot like falling apart first.

Yep..
The laundry that’s been sitting there for three days… the tears you didn’t see coming… the friend you love but couldn’t call back… the meal you didn’t make, so you just didn’t eat… the moment you couldn’t hold it all together the way you used to, and you’re left with the feeling of embarrassment, or even shame, and then the confusion of not knowing what any of it means yet, just this fog you’re standing in, and no map for it.

And this is what integration actually looks like… not anything perfect, nor composed, but real, because the body’s finally releasing what it carried for far too long, finally feeling the grief, finally accessing the pain, the confusion of it all, and yes, even the numbing and the withdrawing. …Because that’s part of it too, that’s the body’s way of surviving what was too much to feel all at once.

Therefore, it’s not that you’re falling apart. It’s that falling apart is part of coming back together.

So if your life looks a little messy right now, if the edges are soft and the ground feels uncertain, and you don’t quite recognise the woman standing in front of the mirror, then maybe, just maybe, you are not lost. Maybe you are exactly where you need to be, in between one version of yourself and the next, in the place that has no name yet, because you haven’t arrived there yet.

This is the butterfly’s chrysalis. And inside the chrysalis, before anything new can form, everything first has to dissolve. And not just a little. Completely. The caterpillar does not gently transform, it becomes liquid, nothing recognisable, and only then does something new begin to take shape.

So can you let it be messy? Can you let it be unfinished, and uncertain, and not yet anything you can explain to anyone, including yourself?

Bless the mess. It means you are in the middle of becoming.

And if you find yourself in this space and you want to go a little deeper, to feel a little more held, I write a private letter every Sunday, a quiet piece of wisdom that arrives in your inbox like a cup of tea on a slow morning.

This one came from the heart today

24/02/2026

I grew up in the 80s and you rest when you die was not a joke, it was a value system. Tiredness was weakness and pushing through was strength, and the less you needed the more impressive you were.

My mother said it too, simply as truth, because that was the air she had been given to breathe.

I became very good at not resting and I was proud of how much I could carry and how little I required. When older women told me to take care of myself- well I genuinely didn’t understand what they meant. I thought I was fine and I thought I was strong.

Recently I recognised something familiar in a younger woman and what struck me was the speed and the brightness and the constant outward movement, and suddenly I felt tired just watching her, because I remember the cost of living like that for too long.

The body keeps its own record and it doesn’t care about pride or productivity or how capable you appear, and one day it simply stops negotiating.

What looks like fatigue can be intelligence.., and what looks like slowing down can be a refusal to abandon yourself again.

Some lessons arrive quietly and some arrive through the body. Either way, they arrive.

If this is speaking to you and you’re finding yourself in that phase where the body’s no longer negotiating, we’ll be working with this at the next MoonLodge on 19 March. The event is linked above.

At the threshold with you dear

My rituals are small, and they live in the moment… listening to what my body already knows.
Today it was water poured slowly, flowers cut and placed, tea held with both hands, and feet on the ground. On days that carry weight, I don’t reach for more, but I return to what is already here, and I do it more tenderly than usual.
The body doesn’t need ceremony to know what is sacred. It finds it in the ordinary, if we let it.
If you’re in Amsterdam this Sunday, come and be still with me. Yin and Somatic Wisdom at De Roos (14:15) and Soul Sunday Restorative at Yoga Circle (18:15). Book via the venues or ClassPass and OneFit.

I have been tending women’s lodges for nearly a decade, and what I’ve come to understand is that women don’t lack insight.

They don’t need another framework.

What they often carry instead is the quiet habit of leaving themselves in order to keep everything else intact.

Last night, self-abandonment was spoken.

Simple and truthfully.

And when something that has lived in silence is allowed to be seen, without being corrected or rushed, the body begins to reorganise.

At first there is relief.

Then there’s softness.

And then something steadier emerges… not some grandiose power… but safety.

Safety to feel what was once too much, to admit what has been exhausting and safety to return to oneself without apology.

I am continually humbled by what happens when women allow themselves to be witnessed without performance.

The lodge doesn’t fix anyone, but offers a field in which the body can remember what compassion feels like in real time.

And when that happens, something is restored.

We gather again on March 19th.

If you feel the quiet pull, the details are in the events

In the turning,

I used to decide very quickly, and it felt very strong and so mature, and I believed I was being responsible.

That was the surface.

When I began to look deeper, especially in this season of perimenopause where the body refuses old strategies, I started to see what was actually moving underneath.

Most of those decisions were made under pressure.

I didn’t want to disappoint anyone, nor did I want to look unsure, and I certainly did not want to lose control. As for uncertainty, it felt threatening, therefore deciding fast felt safer.

Speed gave me relief, whereas space asks me to feel.

Lately I’ve been practicing something entirely new: not deciding yet.

When I don’t rush, my body settles, urgency drops. And when urgency drops, the fog begins to lift, and beneath it something quieter and far more truthful becomes available.

What I once would have called avoidance is, in fact, regulation from the body upward.

Pressure creates urgency. Safety creates clarity.

Before you answer, before you explain, before you commit, allow yourself one moment of not deciding.

What would happen if you did not answer yet?

From the slow lane,
Wen-Wei

You can’t do the thing you used to be able to do.

Not the way you once did it and not with the same force, certainty, or endurance.

For many women, this moment is terrifying and it can feel like something has gone wrong. It’s as if motivation has vanished, discipline has slipped, or our capacity has failed.

However, im seeing something else…

There’s a very specific place we arrive at when an old way of living no longer fits, and the new way has not yet revealed itself, which is - the place in between.

From the outside it can look like stalling, complete indecision, or getting stuck.
And from within, it feels far more intense, like holding your breath underwater, and waiting for the right moment to surface.

It can look like stillness, yet it’s far from calm

It’s a tense, contained restlessness…. Awake. … Listening and on edge.

Going back to the safe thing really feels like dying.
Yet moving forward toward what is true feels impossible.

And here it is - you can’t stop reaching in either direction.

This is what I mean by being caught between two abandonments.

If you go back, you abandon yourself, and if you reach forward, you touch the grief of all the years you couldn’t have what you wanted. For me, the years I had to choose safety, survival, or approval instead.

Your body knows both directions are dangerous, therefore it does the only intelligent thing it can do.

It refuses to let you settle.

I don’t believe this space is a mistake, but it’s deeply uncomfortable, yes. And I also think it’s where honesty begins…the old performances fall away and something more true starts to make itself felt.

Nothing here asks you to decide or for you to rush…
Only to notice where you are standing.

MoonLodge is where we meet this threshold together. Not to fix it, force it, or push through it, but to stay with it together -
accompanied, witnessed, and held.

February 17 is full.
We gather again on March 19.

In the turning,

Yesterday I shared what self-abandonment looks like for me
the creative practice I don’t touch, the longing I turn away from. The guitar that waits. The art supplies gathering dust.

Several of you messaged asking: “But why? Why do we do this to ourselves?”
Here’s what I’m learning through my own journey and through holding space for women in transition:
We’re not actually avoiding the guitar. We’re avoiding what touching the guitar might open in us.

The grief of all the years we didn’t play. The risk of discovering who we actually are underneath all the roles we’ve learned to perform like: the good mother, the reliable professional, the one who holds it together.
And perhaps most terrifyingly: the possibility that even our soul work, the thing we most long for, might not be “good enough.” That we might try and still fail. And that our deepest creative expression might be met with indifference or worse.

So, we procrastinate. You know it- We scroll. We reorganize. We suddenly remember urgent emails that need answering.

You know what?

This is intelligent protection.

Your nervous system learned long ago that reaching for what you truly want can be dangerous, it might expose you to criticism, disappointment, or the painful confirmation that you’re not worthy of your own desires.

Procrastination is a survival strategy. And it kept you safe once.

But here’s the cost that accumulates quietly over time: every moment we turn away from what we long for, we practice abandoning ourselves.
We reinforce the belief that our desires don’t matte, or we’re not trustworthy stewards of our own creative life and that safety is more important than aliveness.

This is the deeper wound beneath the surface behavior.

So the question I’m sitting with - and inviting you to sit with - isn’t “How do I stop procrastinating?” or “How do I get more disciplined?”

The question is: “What am I protecting by not touching the thing I long for? What old story is still running? And what would it mean to stay present with my longing, even if I don’t act on it yet?”

Because here’s the paradox: you don’t have to pick up the guitar today. You don’t have to make the art and you certainly don’t have to force yourself into action.

The work isn’t in the doing. Nope, the work is in the staying. In not abandoning yourself when the longing rises. Moreover, In learning to be present with your own desire without needing to fix it, justify it, or make it productive.

Just notice where you turn away. Notice what thoughts arise when you get close to the thing you want. Pay attention to what your body does - the tension, the impulse to flee, the sudden urgency to do something else.

And ask yourself, with as much tenderness as you can find: what am I protecting?

That’s where the real work begins not through forcing but in understanding what’s been holding you back.

This is the work we do together in MoonLodge

creating space to stay present with ourselves without fixing, without performing, without needing to be anywhere other than where we are. We practice being with our longing, our grief, our joy, our complexity.

If this resonates and you feel the call to practice this kind of staying in sacred community, MoonLodge returns February 17th. One week left to register. Link in comments.

What if procrastination is not the problem at all.

Most of us were taught to treat procrastination as something to fix, and as a flaw… or, a lack of discipline, motivation, or willpower. However, for many women, especially those who are competent, responsible, and used to holding a lot, procrastination is not about laziness or time management.

Procrastination often looks like scrolling instead of starting, suddenly doing useful things that were not urgent, or telling yourself you will feel more ready later.

But procrastination is rarely about time, and it’s not lack of discipline, nor a lack of willpower.

Procrastination is the behaviour.
Self-abandonment is what is happening underneath.

Scrolling doesn’t mean you do not care.
It is often a way of stepping away when a moment feels hard to meet.

Doing something useful can look productive,
but sometimes it’s a way of staying busy instead of staying present with yourself…
Sometimes it lets you stay capable instead of feeling unsure.

Many women learned early to cope, adapt, and stay functional, and that intelligence kept them going. However, over time, though, the cost is subtle but builds. You’re still doing your life, but a part of you is no longer fully inside it.

If this touched something in you, you are not alone.
I write more like this in my Sunday Letters, where there is more space to stay with what is tender and unresolved, without needing to fix it.

Behind the glass…

Where life continues on as it does
however, you experience it from a distance.

Many women arrive at this moment
without knowing how it happened…

This is the terrain I’m holding in the MoonLodge, if you want to take step closer, you’ll find the details below

Many of us learned to belong by adapting.

We learned how to cope, how to become capable, acceptable, reliable.
And we learned how to say we were fine, even when something inside us had already gone quiet, tense, or numb.

This adaptation wasn’t wrong.
Quite the opposite…
It was intelligent. Often ingenious.
It helped us survive families, systems, and expectations that could not meet us where we were, or attune to what we actually needed.

But over time, belonging that is earned through adaptation carries a cost.

Not the loss of our lives, but the loss of our aliveness within them.

It shows up subtly , as the feeling of watching yourself live, rather than living from the inside of your own experience.
As managing your days instead of inhabiting them, being present, but not fully at home.

It is recognition moment, this.

And recognition is enough, because it’s the moment when something else becomes possible.

This is the kind of work I hold in MoonLodge.
A space for coming back into belonging without performance, adaptation nor without leaving yourself behind.

February 17, Amsterdam
The doors are open.

Helping You Rise...

Welcome sisters and brothers....I am devoted to walking with you and guiding you to your heart and a life that is authentic, fulfilled and free. One that you lead with true purpose, in right relationship with yourself, each other, and also Mother Earth. We were all meant to live in the pure joy and magic of being alive and feeling the wonderment of nature and our existance... In sacredness and honour...

So when feeling lost in unrest and chaos, which we all face, I walk with you and guide you into reconnection with your true-self, your vital life-force, wholeness - to the frredom of being who you were meant to be- your soul-purpose and in true ownership and leadership of your journey here.

I also work closely with women to delve deeper into the ancient mysteries of womanhood and womb-wisdom. I am a passionate facilitator of sacred women's circles, rites of passage into the different phases of woman, womb-awakening training, incorporating lunar mysteries, shamanic and ritual practices, goddes wisdom and archetypes, yin yoga, trance-dance and ta***ic lore.

I lead women and men to thier truth- by acknowleding your inner self - which is the realm of the Sacred Feminine- the soul self which unites like the Yin and Yang with the Sacred Masuline to create true harmony.
