Wild & Free with Christalee

03/05/2026

I keep seeing mother’s day trends, and while they are filled with love, they also bring up reflections for me. I’ll always have the utmost respect for mothers, truly the most powerful humans to walk this earth.

But it takes me back to when I first found out I was pregnant. It wasn’t exciting, it was terrifying!

I said “f**k” more times than I could count, and thought, followed with: how can I do this? How can I raise a child in this world, in this situation, with this person? When I found out it was a girl, my fear grew. I never wanted her to grow up and think that the way I was treated was normal or that this is what love looks like. Absolutely not.

I didn’t get any congratulations or people happy for me. There was no celebration. Just the question, do you really want to have a child with this person? Could I handle doing it on my own because thats what will eventually happen.. to which i had already felt prior to falling pregnant.

The whole pregnancy was isolating and filled with fear, from health scares to being monitored every week, to preeclampsia, to giving birth during lockdown without the support I wanted. It was tough and not my ideal situation, but it also showed me how much I could handle on my own, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

It was a wild experience, one that shook me to my core, but it taught me something so so powerful:

I could literally do anything in this world with the right mindset and breath & that is something I carry with me every day!

Because I can do hard things & I love being a mum and was meant to be a mother!

Making the most of a slowing down and relaxing as much as I can at home before a busy, productive and active week ahead 😍🥰

6 days until Goodness Me Festival 🫶🏻🎉

Goodness Me, is a day to slow down and soak in the outdoors, celebration of life, immersing in activations, good music, delicious food (that I don’t have to cook, yes please!), and I’m always drawn to a good food truck!

It’s a chance to try things you are feeling called to, whether that’s new experiences or new flavours or new depths and lessons.

It’s about having a picnic with friends, or even a stranger, enjoying sunset amongst those trees !

& letting nature work its magic

Deep conversations, laughter, and maybe even a few tears, it’s all part of the experience

It is not a space for judgement but for creativity, flow and embrace

So often, we find ourselves rushing, trying to do everything in one day. But remember, this event is an offering to yourself. A gift of life, love, and connection with yourself and with others, because that is where the real magic happens

So please take your time, slow down and relax

Whatever way you spend your day, just make sure to slow down, breathe deep, and fully embrace the time, whether that’s for yourself or shared with others 🫶🏻✨

Ice baths 🥶 there’s something powerful about reconnecting with your body through the cold & how I have missed it!

Within the first minute, you can feel your body start to shift. The initial shock gives way to calm as you focus on your breath and tune into your body’s sensations. It’s wild how quickly your mind can move from fear to empowerment like, “I’m a boss, I can handle this!” (And, honestly, same 😆) often telling myself I’ve given birth I can do anything (has got me through the hardest uncomfortable ice baths lol)

I won’t lie, there’s almost always some resistance before getting in, especially if it’s not a super hot day. I’m never jumping in thinking “Yesss, let’s freeze!” But once I’m submerged, everything slows down. The body goes into a meditative state, and I can breathe my way through it. The cold shifts my energy.

The science behind it: cold exposure can reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and activate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s rest-and-digest mode). After I finish, I feel calmer, more energised, and less inflamed. That’s why I love it !

But here’s the thing, ice baths aren’t for everyone. Some people can’t handle the intensity, and that’s okay. If you are thinking about trying one, make sure you have done your research. Be aware of how your body and breath can react

When you are in, focus on your breath: inhale slowly through the nose, and exhale gently through the mouth as your body adjusts. Over time, your breath naturally becomes more regulated, and your body will begin to adapt (best part)

Stay present, focus on your experience, not the distractions around you. And if you can, have support (highly recommend) It makes a difference!

For me, cold showers are an alternative, but they don’t compare to full submersion. It’s the deep freeze that really gives me that reset.

If you are feeling called to try it, educate yourself, listen to your body, and breathe through the challenge 💙

Summer Solstice Reflection ✨

As the sun reached its highest point, we gathered in nature to pause, breathe, and remember what truly matters.

The light of the sun does not erase the shadow, it reveals it, so it can be seen, honoured, and integrated.

The longest day of the year reminded us that light is not something we chase… it’s something we allow.

We breathed together.
We moved gently.
We offered gratitude to the earth and released what no longer needed to be carried into the next season.

In community, in stillness, in presence - something softened.
Intentions were planted.
Energy shifted.
Hearts opened.

May the light we honoured on this sacred day continue to guide us through the months ahead.

May we carry the warmth of connection, the wisdom of nature, and the remembering that we are never separate from the cycles of the earth. 🌿✨

Create a life you love, not the one you were taught to settle for.
If it brings joy, lights you up, or gives you freedom… choose it & do it ✨

As the light grows, so do we, expanding gently, shining brightly, rooted in grace ✨
