Hey
Reader,
On my 30th birthday I gave myself 30 dares and one of them was "a day of silence"...
On Tuesday I finished a 7 day silent retreat, with 5 full days of SILENCE!!!
I love pushing myself out of my comfort zone, its when we EXPAND!
My reflections
- It reminded me how FAR I've come!!! 5 years ago I was struggling with a BUSY mind full of to-do lists, putting pressure on myself, trying to be perfect, trying to DO everything, I had health anxiety BAD (always worrying about my physical health) and I was crying most days. I never took a moment to myself, I struggled to rest and if I was honest I didn't really know what I wanted, what I was supposed to be doing and I never spent time reflecting or learning about myself. Yeah there were some challenging parts (I go into ALL the details in my newest podcast episode!) but I've made my mind (and life) a very positive place to be
- What I did realise: although my mindset is positive, it can still be BUSY - planning, thinking about business, new ideas, fantasying - something that I want to shift! There is a time and space for planning, it doesn't need to be a constant!
- The power of community!!!! You're supposed to have the village, your tribe, your community. Its wild how you can feel connected and supported by people without even speaking. You will meet aligned people when you go to the events that interest you... I met so many interesting people and we've spoken about collaborating on projects and retreats already!
- DISCIPLINE - we can waste so much time. Its time to act with intention, stop getting distracted, take action on the things that truly matter and that move the needle - not the things that keep you where you are. This was like a weeks gym for my mind. Seeds have been planted that I know will grow and flourish!
- Everything is impermanent, what you are going through right now will pass
- You get to choose to make your mind PARADISE - its not your external reality that brings you happiness, its your internal reality (which then attracts your external reality 😜)
- Laughter is the best medicine!!!! Life doesn't have to be so serious!!!! LAUGH EVERYDAY
You can receive ALL of my reflections in this weeks podcast episode!
If you know its time to expand your comfort zone, create a positive mindset and build a deeper connection with yourself, work with me! SO much more is possible for you - more JOY, peace, love, laughter, friendships, travel and less work, stress and overthinking.
New episodes on the pod 🎙️
I’m joined by my friend Trish – counsellor, intuitive sister and lover of women’s circles, chatting about psychic gifts, losing herself in motherhood and how women's circles and counselling changed her life!
This episode with Lucy, Embodiment Coach & all round spicy soul, is filled with real talk and WILD stories — we chat about whats possible when you stop being the “good girl”, release perfectionism and start being unapologetically YOU!!! Lucy shares her stories about getting pregnant whilst on the pill and physical health struggles after a reaction to the injection AND how it guided her to the MAGIC life she's living now!
Lets celebrate!
Obviously I'm celebrating completing a 7 day silent retreat!!!
I'm celebrating being the QUEEN of manifesting - what I was NOT expecting this summer was to attract a boyfriend ;) but also, I'm not surprised, because when you are being your authentic self, living your purpose and doing what you love, you attract the right people to you with ease!
This week I've also manifested the DREAM house to live for the next 6 months, with a dreamy house mate, a cat and a beautiful space to host women's circles, day retreats and community events. And the house fell straight into my lap - no long search, it was EASY. This is what happens when you live in alignment, you are MAGNETIC to what you want and you receive it with ease.
Here's whats waiting for you!!
Whilst I was on the retreat my clients were climbing Kilimanjaro, preparing to move into the new house they've manifested (within a matter of weeks), receiving confirmation their company will move them to London (where they want to live!)
My clients are doing BIG things. They know what they want and they're making it HAPPEN. They are co-creating with the universe. Ticking off the things on their bucket list. Because life is for LIVING. Your life gets to be MAGIC!
What are you celebrating? What have you received this week?
This weeks oracle reading is from Sophie Bashford's Goddesses, Gods & Guardians deck:
What you are trying to hide needs to be seen and accepted. Your trauma, your fears, the parts of yourself you don't like, that you've rejected, you feel shame about. Without working through these they will keep you stuck and self-sabotaging. Its time to let go of the judgement and spend time in safe spaces to speak your secrets. Its time for transformation!!!!
This is a big part of the work I do, providing a safe space for women to share how they really feel, let go of the judgement and love yourself for exactly who you are. We are all human, we aren't meant to be perfect. When we accept all parts of ourselves, life feels 100x times better and thats when you become a MAGNET for what you really want.
Sending you so much love,
