If I had to choose one thing that causes more overwhelm than any big ‘WT!’ event, it’s all of the teeny loops you’ve got open in that gorgeous head of yours.

If you’ve worked with me you’ll know I rabbit on about “loop closing” all-the-time, so much so in fact I’ve had comments like ‘you were in my head… close the loop!!’.

And while these comments make my insides squeal with delight, the more important thing is — once you get a taste of the difference it makes closing them, you’ll want to keep doing it, and regularly.

Loops are thoughts that keep circling through your head, draining your energy and cluttering your brain waves with to-do list space junk.

And while they may seem as insignificant as saying ‘I must clean this drawer out’ every-time you open it or that [Pap smear] reminder you keep snoozing on your phone, these tiny energy leaks compound into some pretty significant real estate over time.

If I had to call out a true blue superpower, spotting loops and closing them is 100% mine and it can also become yours — you just have to do, the thing (I know, annoying right).

Now you might be thinking to yourself I’m too busy to be cleaning out my wardrobe or go to that appointment and I hear you, these things do take time…however…

They’re *already taking up time, space and energy — you’re just not conscious of it.

Closing loops give you back your clarity, creativity and focus (think Marie Condo-ing your mind).

Feeling overwhelmed?

Choose THE EASIEST, QUICKEST and LEAST EFFORT loop (outstanding task) you can and, close it. Stat.

And remember just because it may not feel “productive” or urgent I guarantee you, you’ll feel blooming amazing ticking it off that invisible list in your head.

P.s in full transparency I’m also moving soon and I tell you there’s nothing like a move to turn you into a loop closing ninja.

Unpopular opinion right now?
The actual concept of simply being okay with what we’ve got and making that delicious AF instead of constantly hurtling ourselves towards more, better, bigger.

There’s a thread wrapping itself round our legs making so many of us trip over ourselves in the rush to build, optimise and not waste time and it’s making us forget that the real flex is — having the capacity to hold what you already have, well.

A life that holds you and meets you where you’re at is built on sustainability.

I know, it’s not sexy, it’s a lil dry and no where near as exciting as the next bright, shiny thing, but if you want to quit worrying about your ability to hold your dreams and the life you’re creating for yourself, then you need to — build this capacity, first.

It’s okay to take your time and let your nervous system catch up.
It’s okay to move on your timelines.
It’s okay to slow down while you figure things out.
It’s okay, to be okay with enough.

In a world that screams progress it’s your responsibility to remind yourself that you get to CHOOSE your rhythms and timelines.

Because if you don’t, someone else will choose them for you.

You can work on building your capacity to >hold more until the cows come home, but if you’re already feeling at capacity with what you have right now > you need to start there first.

Ask:
- What small changes can I make that will release the pressure today?
- Where am I trying to show up in ways that don’t match my energy and current resources?
- When am I rushing and pushing instead of allowing and listening?

Ask:
Is this really a capacity issue or is it an alignment issue?
Is this what I really want, or is it just what I’ve been taught is, the way?

This is the work.

It used to bother me when people mistook my light, quiet, down-to-earth, empathetic, nature as weakness. Like my easy-going personality was going to be easy prey. A manipulators dream. Not gritty enough. Tough enough. Shallow.

In truth, on paper by traditional (+outdated) IQ metrics I do likely fall short and there was a time I questioned my legitimacy because of it.

These days I know better.
These days I know my street smarts, emotional fortitude, ability to see people and read the room outweigh any number on a page.

Underestimate me to your detriment.

I see and feel e v e r y thing.
A gift that’s immeasurable by any 5 page Questionaire.

It’s so easy to get caught up, gauging your worth off societies trademarks of success and superiority, and while change is coming it’s still up to us as individuals to affirm ourselves and our place at the table as the potent and deliciously unique humans we are.

We must champion different. Together.

These days I love it when people underestimate me. My insides literally chuckle…‘you’ll see…’ they whisper with glee.

The difference now though is - I don’t actually care if they don’t.

Let your difference be your superpower.
Lean into the parts of you that are intangible and impossible to quantify.
Let it be enough.
That’s where your dreams, success and sovereignty lie, in the parts of you that are invisible to the people who, at the end of the day don’t really matter.

Fun news! M and I are moving!
For the first time in about 25years we’re changing states and moving South to be near our 3rd love (after each other and 🐾), the ocean. It’s also only a days drive to family so win-win.

I’m not going to lie, it’s thrown my nervous system for six. It’s been all encompassing. The extra logistics to consider, the paperwork, the readiness, the scheduling. I’m feeling good now, but stress hits different in this stage of life so I’ve been unapologetically attentive to this one area, with my business playing second fiddle while I also work full time (there’s a podcast ep on this in link with if you want to listen).

It’s all as it’s meant to be.
I’ve paused launches.
I’ve near stopped my Sunday love notes to VIP’s.
I’ve still been supporting glorious clients, but very limited and intentional.
I’ve made peace with this season of our lives and am practicing what I preach by trusting the timing and putting my health and wellbeing first. I never waver because I can’t. I know all of it’s worth nothing if I’m not well enough to sustain it.

Big change requires patience.

Change like this makes you put life under a microscope. What do I really want, and not just surface stuff, I’m talking what do I want my days to look and feel like and what choices can I make now to make sure that becomes my reality.

More and more I am being called to slow down.
To savour.
To be IN life and relationships in a way that blurs the edges of anything that has no lasting consequence.

So I’m making space for it.
I’m taking my time where possible.
And I’m letting myself be okay with not having it all worked out right now.
That’s my job. My responsibility.
What an absolute gift it is.

This is the part no one really talks about.

It’s not about doing more, fixing yourself, or becoming some hyper-productive version of you.

If anything, it’s the opposite.

It’s for the moment you realise, you already know.

You’ve done the inner work.
You’ve built the awareness.
You can feel what’s true for you…

…but actually living it?
Still feels sticky.

Still feels like you’re the one holding everything. Managing everything.
Second guessing what you already know.

That’s the edge.
And that’s where mentorship meets you.

Not to give you answers, but to help you stop overriding them.

Because something shifts the moment you say yes to yourself in a real, anchored way.

Not mentally. Not “I should probably…”
But embodied. Decided.

And suddenly, you move, you speak.
You choose differently.

I see it all the time — “I don’t know what happened, I just did the thing.”

You didn’t become someone new.
You stopped abandoning yourself.

That’s the work.

Having someone in your corner who can hold you there, in the discomfort, the honesty, the expansion, *without letting you slip back into old patterns…

That’s where self-leadership becomes lived.

So yep, mentorship might change what you do, but more than that, it changes how you show up inside your own life.

If you felt this, you’re probably there.

And you don’t have to keep doing that part alone.

Done all the worthiness work but can’t work out why you still find receiving help hard?

Letting people help you can be a super vulnerable experience if you’ve been the one holding it all for years.

Thing is, when this is the case, it can be easy to blame those around us for not stepping up when the truth may be that there’s not been any space for them to actually do so.

This showed up in my own relationship.

As a people pleaser I’d become an A-grade organiser. In an attempt to keep the peace, reduce conflict or rejection I fine tuned my skills like a samurai.

Chasing control felt safe.

I was exhausted from trying to keep all the ducks in a row, my digestion was shot, my nervous system, cooked and I was becoming super resentful of feeling like I was doing it all on my own.

Real issue was, I kept focusing on what he wasn’t doing, instead of also looking at what I was.

M wasn’t showing up the way I needed because I wasn’t letting him.

It wasn’t until we looked at our relationship dynamic as a whole that things changed.

Communication was key.
Starting small, crucial.

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust M to do the thing, it was that I didn’t trust feeling out of control.

The only way I was going to build trust and safety in receiving support, was to actually receive it.

You teach people how to treat you.

Fast forward to today and M and my relationship feels like a true partnership (sans resentment).

The only control you truly have is how you choose to lead yourself through the discomfort of uncertainty and letting go.

If you’re tired of doing it all on your own, you have to stop actually doing it all on your own.

Give your people the opportunity to meet you where you’re at.

Start small. Be patient. And start building a new kind of safety net — one that allows you to be truly held, deeply.

It’s may feel unsexy and not overly sacred, but for me nothings made decision making feel easier, quicker^ or more aligned in life or my business than getting super intimate with my own definition of success.

(^especially when your energy’s in your toes and you’ve got minimal F’s to give).

One of the biggest mistakes we make is believing we can have a set-n-forget kind of relationship with our value system. Yes, some values may stay the same throughout life, (example: my # 1 is health and that will never change), but just as you grow and evolve, your values do too, especially once you start leading yourself through a more holistic and sovereign lens.

I created a Future Self Guidebook a while back, it’s a free PDF packed with journal prompts and reflection exercises to help you clarify your vision for success, connect with your future self and grow with intention and confidence and she’s about to go into retirement.

If you’ve just entered a fresh season of life, want some clarity around what’s next, what’s feeling alive and important for you *right now* OR just want some fresh AF journal prompts, grab yourself a copy before she disappears at the end of the month.
