Hey
Reader,
I'm writing to you after spending the morning naked in a women's sauna with one of my girlfriends. Anyone that knows me knows that I've always LOVED being naked, its is our natural state after all!
How do you feel about being naked? On your own? In front of your friends? A partner? Other people?
I know not everyone feels comfortable - I believe a few reasons are because women's bodies have been sexualised, they've been shamed, with so much pressure to look a certain way in the media. Some people who would love to be more naked might fear others think they are attention seeking, and in reality, we can be judged. (those that judge do so because they would judge themselves). When really its just our natural state. I believe the more we normalise it - the better.
I'm so grateful to have gone to an all girls secondary school where we all got changed in front of each other, showered together and it was so normal. I've taken this comfortability with me throughout my life and I've helped many women become comfortable in their bodies over my life so far - from simply being comfortable in mine.
YOU being your authentic self creates a ripple effect. You heal things within other people without even realising. And the more you heal the parts of yourself that don't feel great... not only do you feel 10 x better but you are contributing to the healing of humanity.
It always starts with YOU
Lets become aware of the MAGIC you are already contributing to the world. And then lets take responsibility for the ways that we are falling short - because although it may not be your *fault*, it is your responsibility to create the changes you want to see. Plus, life will feel so much better when you do 👏🏼
What ways are you shining your light in this world? Where do you see or feel the ripple effect of you being YOU?
Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Resistance? Where or what do you know you would benefit from healing?
🌹You came here with gifts to give this world
🌹You came here to GROW, to learn and to love yourself
🌹You came here to make impact in the world
🌹You came here to live a life of passion
🌹You came here to leave a legacy
🌹You came here to live your purpose and step into your power
Your purpose is to be authentically YOU
Lets celebrate!
This week a previous client of mine shared how PROUD she is of herself!!! She was in a dark place when we started working together, going through tough times in her personal life, she didn't feel she had the time, energy or support to make changes she knew she wanted and she was feeling mentally DRAINED.
Within 4 months she manifested almost EVERYTHING in her vision. She's started a new job, she's been training for a new career that she's SO passionate about, she's spent time travelling, tapped into her inner power, she's connected to what she really wants and she's excited for life!!!
I'm celebrating getting back into running and LOVING IT. I don't run far, but that doesn't matter!!! I've shifted my identity to being a runner and I get excited to go! Yesterday I did my first 24 hour juice cleanse / fast in a few months and I feel excited to fast more regularly!
What are you celebrating? (No matter how small!!!!!)

Last weeks episode was with my mum, Liz!
Liz shares her journey with insomnia and the lessons she’s learned over the last 8 years. We explore burnout, over-doing, listening to your body, taking responsibility, holistic healing and shifting focus from the problem to the solution. She highlights the power of meditation, yoga, presence and the magic of books! Plus the importance of moving forward, not backward. If you’ve ever faced sleep issues, over-doing or burnout, this one’s for you!
This weeks oracle reading is from Alana Fairchild's Sacred Rebels deck:
"Sometimes it is through uncomfortable learning that we find our treasure"
Let go of shame, guilt, judgement or criticism. Take the weight off of your shoulders. Do not punish yourself!!! We are all imperfect humans. You are always learning through experience. Step into acceptance. Know that there is HOPE, peace and reassurance. You will find the light!!! You have so much beauty, talent and ability within you - how can you share this?
Sending you so much love,
