After an extremely busy time I’m catching up on sharing this lovely event. I’ve been curating group dinners for a little while, slowly getting more creative with themes and it has been wonderful to watch women from completely different circles begin to meet in ways that I hope feel natural and meaningful. What seems to connect us all is a shared interest in self-expression, wellbeing and personal development – a recognition that growth happens not only in solitude, but also in the company we choose.

My intention has always been to create an environment that feels beautiful, thoughtful and inspiring to step into. A setting that encourages people to slow down, feel at ease, and let conversations unfold without rush or expectation. And who doesn’t like being surrounded by stunning women, flowers and some creativity by

What I hope for these evenings is simple: that women arrive and feel both inspired and entirely themselves. That they meet new faces without effort, reconnect with familiar ones with ease, and sense that this is a space shaped with care rather than performance.

And perhaps what feels most important to me is that all of this is happening without alcohol. Not as a statement, not as a rule – but as a quiet offering. In a city, and a world, that tells us we need a drink in our hand to have a “good night out”, I want to gently challenge that assumption. These dinners have shown me that fun, depth, laughter and the beginnings of meaningful collaborations can unfold naturally when people are fully present.

Curating these evenings has become a way of exploring what community can look like when it is thoughtful, beautiful and unhurried. A reminder that connection does not need to be loud to be powerful, and that the right environment can draw the best out of people without asking them to be anything other than who they already are.

And I am excited to see where this develops- bring on the next one in the springtime

This came up on convo. I’m comfortable with being in recovery & being open about it- after all, it’s my work- but there are still parts of that experience I find challenging. The chapters that want to hide in the shadows

Whether the hardship is mental health, addiction, or anything else… For many of us who’ve been through dark times, either personally or through loved ones, those chapters are full of things we’d rather leave in the past. They’re moments, experiences, & truths we try to forget or keep hidden. But in reality, those chapters shape us. They’re the parts of our story that often make us feel vulnerable, ashamed, or afraid of judgment. But they’re also the chapters that prove we are capable of transformation.

When I look back, I think about the version of myself caught in cycles of self-destruction. There are things I never imagined I’d accept. They were my chapters, the ones I didn’t read out loud.

But getting through it teaches us something important: hiding parts of our story doesn’t make them go away. In fact, it only gives them power over us. Over time, I learned that the process of healing isn’t about forgetting; it’s about owning & finding peace with who we were, what happened, so we can truly become who we’re meant to be.

The journey isn’t linear. It’s taken years to really look back, but doing so clears the pipes & helps you integrate our full selves- something you can never escape.

Today, I don’t shy away from my past. I know it’s part of my story, just like the triumphs & moments of clarity. I don’t need to hide the rough chapters or pretend they don’t exist. They’re what made me resilient. They taught me compassion- for myself & for others.

If you’re reading this & you have your own chapters that you don’t read aloud, know that you’re not alone. We all have them. But we also have the power to heal & get comfortable with our whole selves-not with shame, but with acceptance. As they say, “Recovery isn’t about perfection-it’s about progress.” It’s about showing up for ourselves, even with the parts we’d rather keep hidden or forgotten & very often, we find that our integration helps inspire others who may still be struggling.

My favourite part of these evenings is that quiet moment when I sit back for a second and watch everyone completely immersed in conversation. And, of course, the moment I get to tell them all that I adore them.

When the partnership is right, it becomes a doorway.

Not just an entrance into something new, but a quiet shift in how you move through the world.

The partnerships we choose – in business, in marriage, in friendship – have an architecture of their own. They shape the rooms we grow in, the thresholds we cross, and at times, the doors we gently close behind us. Some partnerships steady us. Some stretch us. And the rare few create space where possibility becomes less effort and more continuity.

I’ve come to see that the real measure of a partnership is not how loudly it announces itself, but how naturally it expands your landscape. The right partnership doesn’t push you forward; it aligns with you so fully that the next doorway appears almost intuitively.

The right partnership doesn’t just open doors – it changes the way you walk through them.

Thoughts to muse over after colllecting someone special this morning

Finding ease, even in the chaos.

With the curated dinner only days away, I had a complete moment of panic this week. My special delivery – the one thing I couldn’t replace – looked as though it had been sent back to the UK. A weird call re printed pictures…. Then No updates, no answers, no solution… and the clock ticking loudly. Then a returned to sender notice on tracking.

After an evening stressing trying to find a replacement - I just thought f it. There was genuinely nothing left for me to do, so I just let it be other more pressing things needed attending to.

This morning I went out for my usual practice – running into the quiet of the desert, listening to affirmations recalibration post a hectic week for myself and my co-director. These moments save me. They shift my state, they soften the grip, they remind me that I can always make choices that support my wellbeing. I move, I breathe, I reflect, heck I even plan my days here and somehow everything feels clearer.

And of course… I came home to find the package sitting at my door. Delivered. Intact. Only the more controversial images removed. The timing almost poetic – a week of silence from Amazon and Aramex, and suddenly on a Sunday morning it resolves itself.

The moral?
 When you relax into what’s happening – when you find ease in your system instead of forcing a solution – things often unfold better than expected.

I left the house as a grouch (not related to this just tired and grumpy I already decided this was already a done deal) and came home inspired and then everything had ironed itself out. A small reminder that flow finds you when you stop gripping so tightly.

As you know I love bringing people together and making it lovely and after feeling somewhat frustrated this week’s gathering suddenly feels even more special- let’s hope above mood board comes to life just as planned. ✨

Nestled somewhere in this little carousel, a trip that was seriously cool and diverse a few months back is a discovery – The Marina Abramović Method. I came across it thanks to a very cool woman I met there. This kind of method introduces you to things that shift your inner landscape a bit.

If you know Marina’s work, you’ll know it’s all about presence, discipline, and attention – stripping everything back until you meet yourself without distraction. In a strange way, it sits perfectly alongside the way we work at Liberta: slow the noise, strengthen the internal muscles, and create enough space & structure to recognise what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

I was planning to share this with a small group of very special people at one of my gatherings next week… except the decks are currently being positively interrogated in customs because it contains a touch of artistic nudity - holy sh*t and to be honest I didn’t even realise!

So, Houston, we may have a problem.

Either way, the intention remains the same: more presence, more connection, and more conversations that wake something up inside you.

“Health is not found in a single act, but in the quiet rhythm of daily choices.”
Which is lucky… because I definitely had some chocolate delivered that have since all disappeared.

Over the past few years, I’ve realised that life moves in very real seasons – not just weather, but energy.

Summer is for roaming.
Winter is for working.

And recently, these last month or so have been a deeply focused, grounded “winter” season for me… the kind that quietly bears fruit behind the scenes.

But here’s the part that feels most useful to share:
we are not meant to hold the same pace all year.

Your wellbeing shifts.
Your focus shifts.
Your capacity shifts.
Often we look different.
And that is not only normal, it is healthy.

Living in this region has made that rhythm even clearer – the highs and lows of heat, the natural pull to take breaks in summer and rebuild in the cooler months. When you honour those shifts instead of fighting them, life becomes calmer, more sustainable, and strangely more productive. I remember the anxiety it used to induce in me spending so much time away not ‘working’ in a traditional sense.

So if your own season right now looks different from a few months ago, you’re not behind – you’re adapting.

Working with your seasons rather than against them is one of the quietest forms of self-care.

And yes… the photos from the summer season are definitely cuter, but that all I’ve right now for now- unless you’d like scrub, dogs, or in the ‘office’ hahah

I saw this on and loved it so reposting ….. Beauty is not just about looking a certain way. It is about how caring for your body and environment supports your mental, emotional, and physical health.
True wellness includes beauty because the practices behind it often enhance well-being. Beauty is wellness when it is intentional, nourishing, and reflective of your authentic self. It is not about trends, comparison, or performance. It is about practices that support your mind, body, and environment.
Skin health as a window to internal health: Skin health reflects your internal state. Hydration, nutrition, stress levels, sleep, and hormones all show up in your skin.
Consistent skincare is not vanity. It protects against oxidative stress, supports barrier function, and can even improve mood when you see and feel healthy skin.

Self-presentation and confidence: Taking care of your appearance can influence how your brain perceives yourself. Research shows that self-grooming and dressing in ways that align with your values can boost self-esteem, reduce stress, and improve social confidence. Confidence itself has physiological benefits, lowering cortisol and supporting resilience.

Environment and beauty rituals: Creating a beautiful, tidy, and inspiring space impacts your nervous system.
Pleasant environments reduce stress, encourage mindfulness, and make self-care practices feel more nourishing.

Rituals as mindfulness in motion: Beauty routines like cleansing, moisturizing, or styling can be slow, deliberate rituals that anchor you in the present. These rituals act as micro-meditation, lowering sympathetic nervous system activity and improving mental clarity.
Alignment with values and expression: Beauty can also be a form of self-expression that communicates your identity and aligns with your personal values. When it is intentional, it contributes to purpose and meaning,

When you experiment with colour on the grid plan and run out of time before something collaborative is being posted…. lol

So proud of you, my love, on your recent very special trip - and forever thankful for your calm wisdom and articulate way with words, helping your dyslexic wife keep the adulting ship afloat from afar!

Yesterday, I had the absolute pleasure of co-hosting a truly in-depth consultation alongside the wonderful Bridget Hancock , the author ‘Live Like a Lobster.’ Bridget is not only a dear friend but an incredible holistic practitioner. Watching her guide a tricky client through a complex, full-spectrum health journey- covering everything from physical health issues to emotional and family dynamics- was absolutely inspiring. Her expertise in functional medicine and holistic care is truly extraordinary and most importantly how to draw from each of the influencing factor to create a comprehensive informed treatment route. I’m so grateful she’s part of my professional network, and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for that kind of comprehensive support.

I couldn’t help adding some more issues of her uber chic book in some gorgeous locations

After a full day buried in the less than glamorous back office work (vital, but rarely photogenic – I mean, who wants to see photos of me doing data protection, service agreements, and bookkeeping? lol), I’m offsetting it with something easier on the eyes and a little scroll down the Instagram hole… basically delaying the inevitable effort required to look cute for filming tomorrow.
