Grief doesn’t always look how we expect it to. It’s not just about death, it can show up after a big life change, a shift in identity, a diagnosis, or the end of something important.
•
Often, grief is stored in the body: as a tight chest, a heavy gut, or chronic tension.
•
In my latest article, I explore how sound, ritual, and embodied practices can support the integration of grief, when words can't do it.

Not all grief comes with condolence cards. Sometimes, it’s just you quietly mourning who you used to be.

Illness, burnout, redundancy, injury; these moments can shatter our sense of identity. You’re still here, but your spark feels dimmed.

This is non-death grief, and we don’t talk about it enough.

I’ve written a new piece on this: "Grieving who you used to be: How to cope with sudden identity loss after illness, injury or burnout”

And I’ve created a free journalling tool to go with it:
What’s the weather in your internal sky today?
- A 7-day grief check-in for your emotional and somatic wellbeing.

You’re not alone.

Have you ever felt like a part of you has died, even though you're still breathing? There’s a quiet kind of grief that doesn’t come with funeral flowers or condolences. It’s the grief of losing yourself, a loss so invisible, so profound, it can leave you feeling alone.Navigating the invisible ...

Retirement is supposed to feel like freedom.
But often it feels like something’s missing.
•
It’s not just the job you leave behind, it’s the rhythm, the routine, the reason to get up each day.
•
This post is for anyone navigating that quiet, confusing space after the job ends, when you're left wondering who you are without it.
•
I’ve written about how this next chapter can become purposeful, grounded, and even healing, if approached with intention.
•
You can read the article here: soundconsciousness.com/post/silent-shock-of-retirement

And, I'm running a workshop on navigating retirement with intention, it’s for those who wish to explore what comes next, you’re warmly invited to join. DM or email me to register. If group dynamics are not your thing, you might enjoy a one-on-one Living Legacy storytelling session with me, more info on that here: soundconsciousness.com/living-legacy

Landline mode is trending.

According to Google insights, search interest in:
• “landline mode” in the past month is at an all-time high
• “social media cleanse” rose +130% in the past month
• “social media detox” hit an all-time high in 2025
• “nokia brick phone” spiked +190% in the past month, and
• “how to break my phone addiction” was a breakout search

Could we finally be ready to disconnect?

Additionally, Harvard Business Review published an article titled "Do You Have a Phone Addiction?" (2024) where it discusses the impact of smartphone overuse on mental well-being, professional performance, and personal relationships. It also highlights the importance of recognising and addressing phone addiction to reclaim meaningful human experiences. More recently, Google searches for “landline mode,” “social media detox,” and “how to break my phone addiction” are all at all-time highs.

People aren’t just tired of their screens, they’re tired of how much their lives now revolve around them. What’s showing up is a deeper kind of fatigue, one that comes from being constantly reachable but rarely present.

Often, individuals don't recognise their dependency until it begins to impact their health, work, or relationships. Studies have linked excessive smartphone use to increased anxiety and depression. A survey by Sonder in 2024 found that 49% of Australian and New Zealand employees were experiencing feelings of burnout, exhaustion and diminished motivation. In relationships, burnout can manifest as emotional distance, frequent conflicts, and a decline in both physical and emotional intimacy.

In my work, where people are invited to slow down, sit with big questions, even confront the reality of death, I’ve noticed a shift. Burnout is no longer just a workplace issue, it’s become a soul issue. People are longing to reconnect with what lies beneath the noise. Often, sound becomes the way in, pausing to tune-in to a steady tone, a specific vibration, or the sound of a gentle hum. It’s not about fixing or striving or staying visible online, it’s about being. Letting go of the need to post, perform, prove something, and face the fear of what might happen if you simply stop.

For many, this becomes the beginning of a spiritual return, not to dogma, but to something honest within themselves. By pausing and listening deeply within, I see a shift in how people relate not only with themselves, but also to their loved ones and colleagues. It’s fascinating that when someone shifts internally, how their external reality begins to shift as well.

So perhaps switching to a dumb phone isn’t just a trend, but a warning sign. A sign that the constant drip-feed of information and digital distraction we live with, is wearing thin. And beneath it lies a desperate hunger for something deeper, quieter, slower, and more real.

In our digital age, smartphones have become a double-edged sword, offering boundless information at our fingertips while silently ensnaring us in a web of overdependence. Unchecked phone use can erode our mental well-being, dull our professional edge, and disrupt our most cherished relationships. Ye...

Sound therapy isn’t just for yoga studios. It’s now being recognised by some of the world’s top-performing companies as a way to support mental clarity, creativity, and real recovery.

Companies like , , and continue to set the standard as forward-thinking pioneers in corporate wellbeing, embracing innovative practices that prioritise employee health, creativity, and resilience.

A recent Forbes article reports that these companies are offering sound sessions to help reduce stress, support creativity, and enhance recovery.

These practices help shift the brain out of overdrive (high Beta) and into more restful, focused states like Alpha, Theta, and Delta, where true mental reset happens.

Your legacy isn’t what you leave behind, it’s what you choose to live now.

We often imagine legacy as a kind of obituary, a summary of who we were after we’re gone. But a real, Living Legacy is something deeper. It’s how we show up, who we choose to be, and what we’re willing to look at.

This post draws on key reflections from my recent article, Redefining Legacy, where I explore the idea that legacy isn’t fixed or final, it’s dynamic and evolves as we do. It’s in the way you listen deeply. The wisdom you choose to pass on. The truths you speak, even when it’s hard. And the moments you stop, reflect, and choose again.

Your life is already writing your legacy, so the question becomes: are you writing it with intention?

Swipe through for 5 ways to live your legacy more consciously.
Which one of these resonates most for you right now? Which one do you feel called to shift into more fully?

Drop your thoughts in the comments, or tag someone whose life reflects a powerful, Living Legacy.

What unfolded between Alcaraz and Sinner wasn’t just great tennis. It was a reminder of what’s possible when we stay present, keep adapting, and move through the unknown.
For those of us who find meaning in great sporting moments like these, this one’s for you:

Some call sport a waste of time, a frivolous pastime. I see it differently. Sport, especially tennis, offers something rare: a front-row seat to the full stretch of human potential, mind and body working as one, and a reminder that people from all walks of life can feel something together.Alcaraz’...

Not everything can be fixed or moved on from.

But everything can be witnessed.

When life changes, through death, loss, or the unravelling of identity, there’s something within you still listening.

I help you hear it.

Come home to what remains.

Send me a DM to work together.
