    What are you ready to reclaim? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Hi lovely,It feels like ages since I’ve been on here. Since my last post a couple weeks ago, I’ve settled into a new home, hosted a yoga retreat in the English countryside, and had a few days off in Ibiza with my husband. The back-to-school energy is alive, but I’m trying to ease into the new season slowly. <a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!hfa9!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fp

    Getting Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Wednesdays are my Substack days. I usually set a theme a week prior, marinate on it, and then when Wednesday rolls around I sit down and write. Theme? Check! Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable. (Not the most exciting theme, I know). Marinated? Not so much. It’s been a big week. We moved into a new flat yesterday, and as we crawled into bed last night we realized “oh shit, we don’t have any curtains or blinds!” Meanwhile I’m a black-out-blinds kinda girl. Our bedroom’s near a main road,

    Reclaiming Your Energy, Boundaries & Intuition (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Two years ago I was stuck in what I call “my visa hell.”I was back in my family home in Florida, processing my UK visa. I’d just married my husband, who was patiently waiting for me across the pond. Between him, my yoga studio and my bulldog, I was itching to get back so I bit the bullet and paid a pretty penny for priority processing (that’s a lot of p’s!).Three months later (!) I was still in Florida. I was fully expecting it to take less than 2 weeks. Unlike Uber Eats, there was no way to tra

    10 Mental Reframes to Get Unstuck (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    I’m not proud to admit that I’ve always liked a shortcut. For those who know human design, I’m a projector. Projectors are said to have the least amount of energy of all the types so they know how to work really efficiently. Apparently we can get a full day of work done in 2-3 hours! I can’t say I’ve cracked that one yet but something to look forward to. The projector / energy saver in me loves a mental reframe. They seem like such an easy hack when I’m feeling stuck or when I can’t see the bigg

    Excerpt · Positive tone

    Read excerpt

    Hi friends,I hope you had a gorgeous weekend.In preparation for tomorrow’s new moon in Cancer (happening on Tuesday, July 14th) I’ve recorded a meditation for you to connect back to yourself, tend to your emotions and plant seeds for this new cycle.This 10-minute practice is a way to step out of the thinking mind and drop into the body and the heart. I hesitate to say too much about this meditation because it’s really something to be experienced rather than to intellectualize. There’s no right o
