Shall we try and overthink all the good little things this year?

Life lives in the micro. In the mundane. In the often overlooked, everyday moments 🌱

I'm in my soft era🪶

The landscape of my morning ritual:
i. micro meditation at my altar
ii. Sip with presence
iii. Free writing and gratitude

My kind of rituals are the ones where there are no ‘rules’. The skeleton structure stays the same – the showing up each morning – but the tissues, cells, organs, and skin of the ritual emerge each time I sit.

i. How I arrive and settle each morning is different – sometimes it’s breath, sometimes it’s through movement, sometimes it’s with words.

ii. I choose to sip cacao – but each time I sip it’s different. Sometimes the cacao is bitter, others it’s softer and fruitier. And I love ‘reading’ the residue in my mug after I’ve sipped – it’s wild what can show up (have you ever tried it?).

iii. Integration is such a key part to the ritual – and I do this through writing. Some mornings it’s anchoring in gratitude – even just a few lines of what I’m grateful for – reorienting my brain to notice what is good. Others it can stretch to 30 minutes or more of free writing – allowing whatever is uppermost to come through. Some mornings, I need more structure, and it’s more inquiry based – question and answer.

For me my morning ritual is an opportunity to slow down enough to relearn who I really am – without everyone else’s stories. Noise. Projections. It doesn’t have to look a certain way or be a specific length of time. I don’t need to dress ‘spiritual’. There is no right or wrong to it.

It's necessary.

What’s the shape of your morning?

I’m slowly landing into 2026 and tending to all things Woven for Wellness. Thank you to everyone who continues to support Woven - I genuinely love gathering your orders and noticing what each of you is reaching for this season.

As I’ve moved through and rearranged the shelves, I’ve collated a few of my favourites that are made-to-be-used-soon, but still with time to hold, sip, or rest with.

They’re now reduced so they can move into use rather than sit on a shelf. Link in bio if you’re wanting to explore.

I’d also love to hear how 2026 is landing for you so far – what’s been uppermost?

Moments that have shaped me this year.

From the liminal space that is one year ending and a new one beginning, I can't yet find the words that speak to what 2025 was — other than it was a year that invited me to say yes to Woven; and to finding a ground of resilience and grace, again and again.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Woven's unfolding — this community has been exactly what I needed this year 🌿

A little bit of fire coming through today.

As some of you may have read here, I recently had a hysterectomy. And I’ve found it really curious as to how people have responded.

There’s been the contrast between my husband talking about his appendectomy (people leaned in, concerned); and my surgery (people leaned away, averted, seemed unsure what to say). Women’s health can still be so ‘taboo’.

And – social media. It is a landscape of well-intentioned people sharing from their own lived experience - in their own bodies, with their own unique histories. And there is power in sharing our stories.

I am a story-teller and it can cultivate real, needed connections. Sometimes, though – that lived experience becomes the qualification that positions someone as a guide for advising (and shaming) what other people should also do (and not do).

I’ve had it suggested that choosing a hysterectomy is a failure. That it is a result of me not having done the ‘deep, inner work’. That I didn’t ‘listen’ to my own body.

I don’t share this to argue - but instead to offer:

Woven is an invitation for you to reconnect to your own innate authority. To choose what feels right for you.

I won’t prescribe.
I won’t speak over what your body is telling you.
I won’t judge or shame you for how you choose to take care of yourself.

I will ask: How can I support you? What are you feeling drawn to, or curious about right now?

Woven is not a space that exists to try and ‘fix you’.

It’s a place for slow practices and quiet rituals that help us remember we are already enough - exactly as we are.

Often that looks like doing less. Softening. Letting go. Sometimes, maybe even letting go of an organ.

All of it belongs.
All of you belongs.

the soft power of rituals

In its simplest form, ritual is an action or word repeated regularly.

Ritual is about bringing the sacred into the everyday.
Making the invisible, visible through attention.

There doesn't need to be an intention.
The action or word doesn't need to be intentional — for me that idea can hold the connotation of willing a particular outcome. Of ritual being conditional in some way.

The soft power of rituals is in showing up to everyday occurrences with full presence.
Attention is what gives them shape.

Noticing the scent of the hair oil - how it lands in you, maybe with a nostalgia or a newness.
Feeling the texture and warmth of the oil as you move it between your palms.

Offering touch to your scalp as you gently massage the oil into the roots of your hair - feeling how that touch maybe offers a softening down your neck, across your shoulders, through your spine.
How your face exhales a little.

This is how the invisible becomes visible.
Not as an idea, but as sensation.

Plaiting your hair - the ritual of braiding.
The steady crossing of strands.
A quiet way attention becomes visible.

Nothing asked for.
Nothing willed.
Just presence, repeated -
until it is felt.

Sometimes slowing down can be the hardest thing to gift ourselves. I love these products as little tools or anchors that make pausing, even for a moment, feel possible.

Our senses ground us into the moment of now, and the gifts below are deeply sensorial.

Gifts to slow down with the senses:
1. Kiss the Earth Blue Lotus meditation oil — anoint your pulse points, or wear as a daily scent

2. Potter Bee Chawan — earthen bowls made for slow sipping

3. HINU hair growth oil — a slow ritual that strengthens and nourishes through touch

4. Spellbones smoke bundle — hand-crafted herbs to cleanse spaces, self, or items

5. Salty chocolate caramels — once you’ve tasted these, you’ll understand

6. Ande Floating Paper Wish Kit — a home for intentions and letting go, and a visual delight

7. Seleno Health ceremonial cacao — a gratitude ritual you can taste

All available through Woven online 🌿

I’ve been quieter on here - not because I don’t want to show up, but because I’ve felt kind of paralysed by trying to figure out how I’m ‘meant’ to.

I don’t have the aesthetic house.
I don’t have a ‘wellness-influencer’ body.
My hair is greying, my face wears lines, I choose not to wear makeup, and I live somewhere on the spectrum between anxiety and feeling low on any given day - because I’m human.
And this has made me feel like I don’t have permission to be visible in what feels like a very curated online world.

So in 2026, this is the Woven you’ll get:
Me – as I am.
Words not written by AI.
Photos taken on a cracked iPhone 12.
A real life shaped around ritualising slowness, not performing wellness.

This is the pace.
This is the presence.
This is the offering.

Thank you for being here with me as I keep learning and becoming, in real time.

Sometimes I find myself lost in lists - moving too fast from one thing to the next.
Cleaning. Cooking. Showing up for everyone… and then not creating space to show up for myself.

It can be easy to forget - this is it. This is living. And there can be an art to it.

I’ve loved Liv’s offerings from , and I’m so happy her Art of Living deck now has a home at Woven 🌿

52 cards. Each one with a question, quote, and affirmation designed to slow you down, spark reflection, and invite intention into your everyday. Pull one each week, place it somewhere you’ll see it, and let it meet you exactly where you are.

It’s not about perfection or constant positivity. It’s about showing up for your real, messy, human life. Laughing, resting, noticing, feeling.

I’ve chosen this deck for Woven because it helps create space to show up fully - for yourself, for others, and for the moments that matter most.

Available online now - this would make a thoughtful Christmas gift for someone you love (or even a gift to self) 🌿

I’ve needed this reminder myself lately - that wellness isn’t something we have to earn.

It isn’t always about doing more or being perfect.
It can exist in the messy, as-it-is-ness of where you are right now.

Sometimes it just asks for slow… and a little kindness.

Wellness is already here. Waiting to be remembered.
