Alright team!

It's been a while..

There have been some quiet nudges from people in the DMs 💃

Lets be honest - I've lost some of my spark over the past couple of years.

Matrescence is DESIGNED to shift and change us irrevocably.

And shift me it has.

It's not about bounce back.

It is actually impossible as I am forever changed on allll levels.

And yet I can notice those parts that I had forgotten.

Or even exiled for a time.

Those parts that haven't had the energy, time or space to thrive.

So here's me reclaiming those lost parts of self.

For a time I thought maybe this version of me was only available in my MAIDEN season.

But that Maiden part - the joyful, playful, excitable part is just that - another part that will always exist within me.

When Im ready to access her again.

So if you need a reminder to reclaim any lost parts of self (or simply need a pick me up for your mood!) here's your gentle reminder.

Pick a song.

(Or better yet press shuffle)

And let the music move you.

If you choose.

Of course.

Should make a comeback?! Let me know in the comments! 👇

Check in point.

Pause if you choose.

Hows your window of tolerance going today?

Are you ok with where you're at?

If not, I invite you to consider a micro moment or action that could support you to move more towards comfort right now.

Perhaps an exhale, some sunshine, a drink of water, a roll of the shoulders, inviting a slight curl of the lips into a smile.

The curiosity to notice what - if anything - begins to shift for you.

And then continue to make supportive choices.

One at a time.

Let the momentum of change build from there.

Let me know what micro support you are choosing today! 👇

(I'm choosing an exhale and some movement just for me)

Whilst being away was such a nice pause button 🛳🏝🍹❤️ it also highlighted

The tiredness
The low energy
The push
Dare I say, burnout symptoms

And this is the beauty of pause right? We get to be curious and notice.

Really notice.

And get radically honest with ourself.

So here's what I'm doing to cultivate a more easeful, restorative walk towards the end of 2025.

✨️More self-care scheduled in
✨️Asking for and leaning on more supports around me, both personally and professionally
✨️Assessing what in my life can be automated, delegated or deleted
✨️Focus on the basics - sunshine, nourishment, hydration and movement

I wonder, what can you shift in these next couple of months to support a more easeful end to 2025?

And if you would like to schedule in an upcoming space just for you, our next afternoon Seasonal Women's Retreat is coming up on Saturday 13th Dec. I'd love for you to join us.

✨ Just over here reparenting my younger self ✨

Sometimes the most healing thing we can do is show up and be curious about the parts of us that once felt unseen, unheard, dismissed, minimised, or even, unloved.

Not trying to change them. But truly seeing them.💛

You see, reparenting is not about fixing who we were — it’s about offering compassion, presence, and safety to the younger parts within us that maybe didn't always feel like they could truly be themselves (and no she doesn't trust immediately - it takes time!).

Some ways I have been connecting with mini me lately;

🌻 a gentle check in each day asking how she is doing? Sometimes she wants to engage. Other days she is content being as she is.

🌻 Dancing and singing

🌻Big, wide expressions and making noise with my toddler (she loves the silliness of it all!)

🌻Reading

🌻Letting her make mess!

🌻Imagining cuddles, words of reassurance and explanations from the adult part of me if she feels dysregulated, uncertain or scared. She's slowly learning I can safely lead and hold her in life's challenges.

👉 Have you ever connected with your younger self in this way? What other ways do you connect with your younger self?

(and yes I did have a play with AI trying to create a visual of my adult and younger self together)

There’s something powerful about women gathering. 🌿

In a world that keeps us rushing, pausing together becomes medicine.

It’s a reminder that you don’t have to do it all alone — and in fact, you were never meant to. 💫

On Saturday 4th October, I’ll be guiding the first Spring Seasonal Women’s Circle in Sutherland.
A gentle afternoon of trauma-sensitive yoga, meditation, journaling, grounding, rest and community.

🕐 1–4pm | 💫 7 spots remain

✨ If your body is craving rest and renewal, this space may be just what you need.

And if you can’t make the first circle (school holidays/long weekend, I see you 😅), you can still join the journey — use code 20OFF! when booking the Full Seasonal Journey to reserve your place for the next three circles 🧘‍♀️

A reminder that once spots are gone, they’re gone.

👉 Head to https://app.moonclerk.com/pay/3rhkrkp451xe to claim your spot

This weekend I went to a yoga day retreat (so needed!).

During a self-care workshop, someone asked the teacher:

“How do we stop reacting in the moment when it feels so automatic?”

The teacher’s response was: “Just observe your thoughts, acknowledge them, and pause.”

Sounds good in theory, right? But here’s the thing…

When we’re stressed or overwhelmed, the logical, thinking part of our brain goes offline. Our nervous system takes over. In those moments, “just pausing” can feel impossible.

And when we can’t do it, what often follows? Guilt. Shame. The sense that we’ve failed.

But you haven’t failed. It’s biology. It’s your nervous system doing its job to keep you safe. 🌿

The work isn’t about suddenly becoming perfectly calm in the heat of the moment. The work is about supporting your nervous system beforehand — so you have more space and capacity when the hard moments come.

This can look like;

🌻 Breath that brings you back into your body
🌻 Gentle movement
🌻 Allowing real rest
🌻 Setting boundaries that feel safe and kind

These daily, nervous-system tending practices aren’t small. They’re what allow us to eventually have that pause the teacher spoke of — not through force, but through capacity.

So if you’ve ever tried to “just pause” and couldn’t, please know: you’re not broken, you’re human. And your system might just be asking for care first.

And, as always, if you would like further support with this - I am here! Head to ww.mindfullycurious.org to see all my offerings including booking 1:1 sessions via the Psychology page ✨️
