When describing intuition, many people refer to gut feelings that seem to arise as the soul whispering advice. However, psychologists recognize intuition as a non-analytical thought process that often occurs outside our conscious awareness. Intuition is an innate ability to piece together snippets of information and emotional impressions to form a “gut feeling” about something or someone. It’s the process of reaching a conclusion without realizing how you got there.

How many times has your intuition been correct? I’m guessing it’s often, if not always. It’s strange how we can accurately sense things without having much conscious information. For example, we might walk into a room and instantly pick up on someone’s hostility or lack of honesty during a conversation.

Perhaps we’re reading subtle cues like body language or receiving clarity through our perception of someone’s overall energy. Our intuition can serve us well by keeping us aligned with our goals, protecting us from harm, and indicating whether someone is a good match for the direction we want to take. Additionally, our gut can often reveal what our values and boundaries look like, providing much-needed clarity.

Ignoring your intuition is a subtle act of self-betrayal, while honoring it is self-care. However, it’s essential to know whether it’s truly your intuition speaking or old wounds. When your nervous system is relatively regulated, intuition tends to be clearer and more accurate because you’re not filtering everything through fear, hypervigilance, or old conditioning. You can find more information on this in my second book, ‘Healing Is the New High.’

The law of polarity helps us understand two ends of the same spectrum through contrast. Duality is a feature of the physical, linear world, and it helps us navigate life. Although we might not be able to pinpoint where “hot” begins or ends, we understand it because we’ve experienced “cold.” In the same way, by knowing authenticity, loyalty, and light, we’re also able to recognize their opposites. When those signals arise, it’s OK to step away to protect your time, energy, and well-being.

✍️ Finding Peace in What We Cannot Control - Everything in life unfolds in ways we cannot predict. We wake each morning not knowing what the day will bring, what emotions will surface, or what circumstances will shift without warning.

Even our own happiness can feel elusive—arriving and vanishing like weather we cannot command. Our emotions rise and fall like tides, often defying our wish to feel differently than we do. If guiding our own hearts feels this difficult, how much more futile is it to try to control others? To demand they think or feel exactly as we wish?

The truth is both humbling and freeing: everything happens in its own way, following rhythms we did not write.

But here is what we can do: We can be at peace when things happen. We can meet whatever arises—joy or sorrow, gain or loss—with a steady mind and an open heart.

• If something can be changed: We do not need to worry—we simply take action with clear intention.

• If something cannot be changed: We also do not need to worry—we accept what is and save our energy for what we can actually influence.

This doesn't mean we stop caring. It means we stop adding unnecessary suffering to our lives. We stop exhausting ourselves trying to control the uncontrollable and focus on the one thing we can genuinely influence: our own response.

We do this through mindfulness. By returning to our breath, we anchor ourselves in the present. We notice when we are reacting unconsciously and choose to respond with understanding instead.

This is how we bring peace back to our inner landscape. We cannot control the storms that come, but we can learn to remain peaceful within them. We cannot dictate how others behave, but we can always choose how we respond.

May you and all beings be well, happy and at peace. 🙏

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with the MUMS Group at the Rangiora Health Hub. And something amazing happened!!

It was a privilege to spend some time with these mamas and their beautiful bubs, teaching breathing techniques & gentle movement to help bring a little more emotional balance as we step into this busy time of the year, and what is going to be the first Christmas as a mum for most wahine in the group … life is very different from this time last year!

So what happened that was so amazing??
I didn’t know it was amazing until Megan pointed out that it wasn’t the norm … within a few minutes of settling into the practice, all, yes ALL!! of the babies went quiet … no more crying, wriggling, squirming! Just 12 content, calm, quiet bubbas looking up at their mamas 💕

How magical is that … emotionally regulated mums = emotionally regulated babies!! I know it’s not really breaking news, deep down we all know it, but to see it in action was so powerful and so darn beautiful to witness

I love this mahi and every single moment like this makes it even more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. So much gratitude for the opportunity and to Megan Waddington for facilitating this beautiful container

The MUMS Group is on Fridays at 10.30am at the Rangiora Health Hub 💛

This coming weekend is Red Tent North Canterbury's last Radical Self-Care circle of the year! What better time for nourishing our soul, pampering our body, and to find your inner balance before we get right into the busy season.

Are you joining us on this journey of truly caring for yourself?

Radical self-care is about being present in your own care ‒ being intentional in how you care for and nurture yourself.

The level of care we give ourselves affects us not just physically but is also felt in our emotional, mental and energetic body. Perhaps for you this involves healing your heart and soul and repairing your body in order to keep going. Perhaps it’s adding a little more sparkle to your crown

This is a space to support and be supported, to be nurtured, to connect and to be your whole self. When was the last time you intentionally took care of you?

🌹 What will we do there:

Each gathering offers space to slow down and reconnect—with yourself, your community, and the wisdom we share as women. Come to enjoy laughter, love, support, and deep conversation among like-minded friends. You may feel called to share openly or prefer to simply soak in the sanctuary of the space, you are welcomed exactly as you are.

Whether you’re looking for connection, to share knowledge or find sanctuary, this is your invitation. Red Tent is a living, evolving community of women supporting women. It’s about connection, healing and the simple but powerful act of showing up – together and for each other.

As we explore a whole new level of self-care, there will be the invitation to take part in breathwork, meditation and yoga. The focus is on nurturing not just our mental health and wellbeing, but also our physical body – a deep nourishing of the magnificent human that is you ❤️
