Well… today I’ve been glued to the couch, full of cold, loading up on vitamin C 🤧🍊

Then a friend asked if I could tune into a horse from a photo… so I did.

I loved it so much, I asked a few more people to send pics of their pets… and honestly, my day took a turn 😂

Today, while feeling pretty rubbish, I’ve had conversations with:
– a VERY judgmental French bulldog
– a pony who feels like she’s being bullied
– a cat on a mission to help old people
– and a Labrador who listed all the dogs she doesn’t like (no filter whatsoever)

Fascinating. Hilarious. Actually really heart-opening too.

I think this might need to become a regular thing…

Thank you for trusting me with your fur family 🤍

When we grow,
life doesn’t always get better straight away.

Sometimes it feels empty.
Lonely, even.

It makes sense…
we want to fall back into what we know,
what used to comfort us,
what used to feel good.

But that’s the tipping point.

It’s easy to return to what once worked —
but growth asks us to move toward what’s calling us next.

And that usually means stepping into the unknown.
The uncomfortable.
The scary.

But look again…
you have space now.

What felt like loss
has actually made room
for what’s ready to begin.

You’ve heard people say,
“it all fell apart like dominos.”

Maybe it was meant to.
Maybe that timeline had to run its course,
so you could finally see clearly
and not stay stuck.

So sit with the void.
Let your own thoughts replace
the conversations you miss.

And instead of fearing what’s next be excited for it x

Original raver ❤️

Went to a very expensive drum & bass / jungle night this weekend… and it was unreal.
From the minute I walked in till I left — dancing.
Tunes remembered through my whole being.

Close my eyes and I could’ve been back in the 90s…
Derelict warehouse. Pure freedom.
Proper f**k the system energy.

But then… reality.

Phones up.
People not dancing.
Not even really listening.
Front row on FaceTime.

And I thought… where’s the community?

Then I’d spot someone my age — head down, old raver stomp — and I’d smile.
Because we know.
We come from the best era of the scene… before phones.

Later I saw a young girl, not much older than my daughter.
She was in a bad way.

I asked if she needed help — she said yes… then was sick on my Air Max 😅

Got her outside, got her water, found her friends.

She looked at me and asked, “why did you help?”

And I said…
Because this is what the original ravers did.

It was never just about the music.
It was community.
Looking after each other mattered just as much as the tunes.

I told her friends —
We always knew where our people were.
And we always left together.

That’s the part they don’t talk about.
But that’s the part that stays with you for life ❤️

What’s in view…

Physically, first.
Today — a boat.
The ocean.
Sand beneath me.

As I name what I can see,
my heart rate slows.

Safety returns.
Reassurance softens everything
as Reiki fills my heart space.

Fear.
Rage.
Fuelled by love…
transformed into strength not distruction
Energy is energy

You choose. ❤️

Healing is for the worthy… and that includes you.

Self-sacrificing people often carry a quiet belief: I am not worthy of healing.

It comes from a lifetime of having their pain minimised… or worse, denied.

After sessions, I often hear disclosures that have never been spoken out loud before.
When I gently ask, “Why haven’t you told anyone?” the answer is almost always the same:

“They’ve got their own stuff.”
“I’ll manage.”
“I don’t want to worry anyone.”

So they carry it.
And carry it.
And carry it… until they can’t anymore.

Then one day, the “strong one” breaks —
and everyone says, “I had no idea they were struggling.”

This is why, when I teach Reiki at the most basic level, I start here:
Acknowledge your own feelings.

Because when you know yourself,
you can truly see others.
And from that place… you can guide them safely back to themselves.

That heaviness you feel?
It’s not weakness.
It’s the weight of carrying more than you were ever meant to hold alone.

So release it.

Talk — even if it’s just to yourself in the car park.
Move — until you feel that heavy energy shift in your body.

And remember this:

The world is full of everyday healers.
Not just practitioners.

They might be:
• The mum at the school gate
• The dog walker on the beach
• The person who simply listens without fixing

You are not a burden.
You are human.
And you are far more supported than you realise.

International Women’s Day

I’m not proud of being strong.

I’m proud of being soft.

Strength is easy for me.
Fight is my reflex.
It’s what survival taught me.

Softness is different.

When I’m soft, I’m no longer in survival.
I can see beyond the pain and fear.
I can soothe myself when emotions rise instead of fighting everything around me.

When I’m struggling emotionally, I have almost superhuman physical energy.
So lately I’ve been training again.

I wake up at 4:30am, drive out of my area, and work out until my body has nothing left.
Today I nearly threw up. Stars filled my eyes.

When I finally lay down to stretch, it felt like my spirit thanking me for finding a safe place for my rage.

Strong women hold the world together.
But mums make the world softer.

Our emotions matter.
They’re not hysteria.
They’re often the first cry for help.

They should be listened to — not mocked, dismissed, or labelled as illness.

Logic alone won’t solve emotional pain.

Support will.
Action will.

And sometimes the best thing you can do when your heart feels threatened is move your body.

Let your energy move through you.
Let it feed your instincts.

And trust that your soul will eventually find the way forward.

Emotionally safe.

What that looks like:
You trust your own decisions.
You can stand up for yourself.
You’re not constantly worried about what others think of you.

It’s actually very difficult to stay emotionally healthy in a digital world where expectations are constantly bombarded at us —
how we should look,
how much money we should have,
and making sure everyone likes us.

It’s too much.

In trying to reach these unreasonable expectations, we can lose sight of who we really are — and most importantly, what we’re here for.

Emotionally healthy people are kind to themselves with discipline.
They choose an early night over a networking dinner.
They check in with how they feel rather than what’s expected.

And the real hack?

They often end up with more success anyway.
More energy.
More clarity.
Better decisions.

Reiki is emotional nutrition. ✨

Being empathetic
just means you’re not a psycho.
It’s not a gift.

And honestly, it worries me a bit when people loudly describe themselves as empaths.

Maybe I’m old and cynical,
but when someone announces it, it can feel a little… performative.

Opening a door.
Letting someone go ahead in line.
Giving to charity.

Isn’t that just morality?

Helping because it feels good
and because small kindnesses change the world.

But something I’ve noticed lately…
when people have a list of how good they are,
how empathetic they are—

that’s a bit of a red flag.

Because truly good people
don’t keep score.

IAcknowledgement.

When we can acknowledge we have been hurt — just that starts a process.

What I have found over the years, and helping many beautiful souls, is this:

We deflect our pain.“Oh there are others worse off than me.”“I can’t complain.”“No use crying about it.”

Those statements tell the world:I don’t need anything.

But on an energy level, you are also saying to yourself — to your inner child —

How I feel isn’t important.I am not as important as others.

This is bad energy hygiene.

Think of it like brushing your teeth. Miss it once or twice, you get away with it. Keep doing it and your teeth will rot and cause pain.

With some, this denial of feeling hurt makes us numb to what feels good — because all is energy.

Emotional intelligence is the ability to self-soothe, and beyond that, to help others too.

It’s not strength to say you don’t care.

And it matters — on all levels, physically and emotionally — to acknowledge it.

Can I be lost
And belong
To the other lost ones 👽

Because when I’m gone
Missing home
I feel like an alien
With nowhere to go.

But wait —
That’s my power.

An alien alone
Will find the other lost ones
And say hey alien you belong.

And we build a little sanctuary
One by one.

Anyone can be an alien.
You didn’t do anything wrong.

You are lost
But definitely belong ✨

Not sure who this is for but you are welcome x

You can’t buy a vibe.

You grow it.
And then you protect it.

Your vibe isn’t “good” or “bad.”
It’s personal.
It’s adaptable.
It’s earned.

If you’ve had mixed reviews about the type of person you are… good.

Because if everyone likes you?
I’d bet you’re exhausted.
Overextending.
Saying yes when you mean no.
Living on other people’s terms.

It’s okay not to engage with people who don’t align.
It’s especially okay not to engage with people who’ve hurt you.

“Being polite doesn’t cost anything.”
(We’ve all heard that one.)

But my loves… it does.

It costs energy.
It costs nervous system regulation.
It costs self-respect when you’ve been wronged.

It is not selfish to protect your peace.
It is not cold to choose alignment.

Use your beautiful, hard-earned vibe
on the people who matter.
The ones who grow with you. 🤍

Have a happy day
You don’t have to be nice , if you don’t want to be x

You Fell Too

You fell too,
but quietly,
so no one knew.

You stood tall,
deliberately balanced
on a broken foot.

Declined politely
food you couldn’t afford.
Said someone missed you
with no one to call.

That’s the difference between them and you.

They cry loud,
pretend to be small,
deliberately hold a hand
for someone to fill.

Declined, they take charity.
You pay for the meal.
Say they are a victim
on every hill.

It’s in the unknown
where humanity grows.
A house burning down —
a chance to build a home.

You are not like them.
You’re okay alone.

It’s not a skill,
but something grown
from all of the letdowns
that nobody knows.

Was supposed to writing for my book but this poem was born instead . So though I would put it here
