5 years of Empowered 💜

Today marks 5 years in business, a milestone I’m incredibly proud of and one that feels both wild and wonderful.

I’m so grateful for the trust, the support, and the beautiful community that has formed around this little space of mine. Thank you for being here through every season, every shift, and every step.

Now I’m off to a concert to celebrate 🤘🏻✨

🌿BE LIGHTER🌿

Be Lighter is your invitation to pause, exhale, and gently let go of what no longer serves you, so you can move into the holiday season feeling calm, clear, and re-energised.

In our last workshop of the year, Be Lighter weaves together reflection, relaxation, and mindful movement to help you shed the heaviness of the year and reconnect with your inner light. Through journalling, guided meditation, and uplifting practices, you’ll rediscover your spark and create space for what’s next.

What We’ll Explore
🌿 Gentle reflection to release the emotional load of the year
🌿 A symbolic letting go ritual
🌿 Movement & mindfulness techniques to lighten your energy
🌿 Guided visualisation to step into the new year with clarity & calm
🌿 Gratitude & grounding practices to anchor that sense of lightness

Sunday 30th November
3pm - 4:30pm

✨ Feeling overwhelmed? Start small.

Supporting your emotional wellbeing doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with the basics, the little things that add up.

These are your building blocks: simple, practical, and totally doable.

💡 Save this post for when you feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start.

✨Grateful✨

A big thank you to everyone who joined me for last night’s Be Empowered workshop. I’m so grateful for the honesty, the connection, and the conversations we shared around boundaries and protecting your peace.

It couldn’t have been more timely as we move into a season that can feel emotionally and energetically demanding for so many of us.

My final workshop for the year is coming up on Sunday 30th November – Be Lighter.

Be Lighter is your invitation to pause, exhale, and gently release the things that no longer serve you, so you can step into the end of the season feeling calm, clear, and re-energised.

I’d love to hold space for you one last time this year.

✨ Sam

🌿 Embracing Change🌿

Change can feel uncomfortable, even when it’s leading us somewhere better.

It challenges our sense of safety, our routines, and sometimes even our identity. But it’s also where growth lives.

Maybe you’re in a season of transition: work, relationships, health, or simply the way you view yourself.

Remember:
✨ It’s okay to feel uncertain.
✨ It’s okay to grieve what once was.
✨ And it’s okay to take small steps instead of giant leaps.

Growth rarely feels graceful in the moment.

It’s messy and emotional. But it’s also where we uncover our strength, our resilience, and our ability to adapt.

Take a deep breath, soften your shoulders, and trust that every shift, no matter how small, is shaping you into the person you’re meant to be.

🌿 Breathe Out 2025 🌿

If your mind’s been busy, your body’s running on autopilot, and you’re craving a little peace before the year wraps up, this one’s for you.

Our final Meditation Block for 2025 begins tomorrow, Monday 3rd November, and runs through to Wednesday 10th December ✨

A 6 week series designed for the everyday person managing stress, juggling life, and wanting to slow down before the Christmas chaos begins.

🧘‍♀️ Class Times:
• Mondays at 8:15pm
• Wednesdays at 7:00pm

Come to one or both each week, whatever fits your schedule.

💰 Investment: $80 for the full 6 weeks (up to 12 sessions total)
📍 Location: Empowered Holistic Counselling & Wellness, Appin

These sessions are for both men and women, combining grounding, breath awareness, and guided meditation to help calm a busy brain, release tension, and reconnect with yourself.

This will be my last meditation series for the year, and a beautiful way to finish feeling more centered, grounded, and calm.

Let go, reset, and finish the year grounded.

✨ 8 Weeks Left of 2025 ✨

It’s wild to think there are only 8 weeks left in 2025.

8 weeks of opportunity.
8 weeks to realign, refocus, and remind yourself that you still have time to make this year feel complete.

Instead of waiting for January to “start fresh,” what if you used these next 8 weeks to finish calm, grounded, and proud of the fact you chose you?

Because in 8 weeks, you can absolutely:
💫 Learn to regulate your nervous system through breathwork, mindfulness, or meditation.
💫 Reduce stress and burnout by setting boundaries and saying “no” when you need to.
💫 Improve your sleep and energy by prioritising rest and evening wind down rituals.
💫 Build awareness around emotional eating and start nourishing your body with balance.
💫 Create consistency with your movement routine, even if it’s just a few mindful walks each week.
💫 Start feeling more confident, clearer, and calmer heading into 2026.

You don’t need to overhaul your life, just begin where you are and take small, consistent steps each week.

Eight weeks is enough time to make meaningful change. 💛

If you’re ready to take action, my final meditation block start this Monday 3rd Nov through to 10th Dec to close out the year.
