As a recovering people pleaser and someone who spent a lot of time unsettled in her body, I spent the good part of the last 20yrs making myself a safe space.

I worked on feeling comfortable being seen, heard, expressed, my quirky style finally embraced, my squishy heart and allergy to small talk no longer making me feel like I don’t “fit”.

Somewhere along the line it stops being about increasing comfort of taking up space & doing your own thing and it becomes increasing your capacity to do things *while* in wobbly discomfort.

This is the work we do together.

We build your capacity to show up in your full flavour even with butterflies fluttering in your belly, to say what you really think and feel even at the risk of being misunderstood or rocking the boat.

Instead of focusing on how life and people recieve you.
We focus on how you receive them.

Together we expand your capacity to move *while* in the discomfort of :
— maybe getting it wrong
— being a learner
— not having all the answers
— saying yes, even though it doesn’t follow the “rules” or make sense to others
— showing up imperfect, raw, real, unapologetic
— being honest about what you think and feel without first running it through your ‘will this cause conflict?’ filter
— doing life, work, business your way, your rhythm, your timelines

This is how my clients leave having embodied their inner leader, feeling more themselves, more capable, more in relationship with life and their creativity.

They expand their capacity to do-the-thing while actually doing-the-thing.

You feel me.

It’s embodiment in action.
No one size fits all formulas.
No waiting till you feel 100% ready (impossible).

Just self leadership on high beam.

I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately.
This season of life’s excavated deep threaded introspection of my mortality, the kind of death I want and the importance of me to live a life free of un-foretold wishes.

More than anything I want to feel deeply satisfied. I don’t want to look back and wish I could have a ‘do-over’.

My dad’s death 25yrs ago woke this kind of living in me. Made the need to wear my heart on my sleeve feel urgent, like breath. Never missing an opportunity to tell someone ‘I love you’, or ‘you matter’.

Lately though it’s been laced with the fragility of my life. The first time I’ve felt any kind of clock ticking other than when I made the decision to not have children.

So when this first question fluttered through my mind yesterday I wasn’t surprised, because as morbid as it is, we take our health for granted. We take our bodies for granted. Until we don’t. Until we’re forced to reconcile ‘sh*t, I really need you’.

Health is my number one value and I still forget to put it first sometimes. Life gets busy, good intentions slide, and I’m not just talking about exercise, because that’s just one notch on the wellbeing belt. I’m talking about the ways in which we tend to our energy, our mental and emotional states, the unseen parts unmet in the mirror, yet sustain us beyond what we can comprehend.

If we don’t care for these parts of us now, when?

These questions, as confronting as they initially were spoke eons to me, they reinforced the vision I have for the way I live and made the dreams I’m bringing to life feel even more aligned (and crucial).

Now is all we have.
Let us not wait.
If your bodies speaking to you, listen.
If your dreams keep tapping you on the shoulder, turn and embrace them.
Make today the day.

I love you. Bye.

‘You’re failing!’
Words my inner critic pokes me in the ribs with.

‘Whoa, there…’ my inner leader retorts, swatting away the pesky jab for the 3rd time this week.

I’d set the intention to move my body *before work this year. Something I used to do with ease.

Since perimenopause has entered the picture though, this kind of output is laughable, inconsistency my bosom buddy, unpredictability a devoted pen pal, writing permission slips of slowness, softness & soul nourishing subtlety.

The more I try to hold same-ness, the quicker it slips through my fingers.

The more I fight to show up “like I used to”, the sh*ttier I feel about myself.

I could believe my inner critic.
I mean I’ve not been doing what I set out to do. Some would call that failure.

Luckily I don’t.
I’ve set myself up for success.

I’ve embraced the season I’m in and I’m prioritising standards of being, doing & living that have space to breathe.

Right now this looks like taking my mornings slow & moving later in the day. Mission accomplished. Success achieved, albeit, not what was “planned”.

So as I swat away my inner critic with its old school taunting of failure and rigidity, I remind myself that the more I move *with* my seasonal needs instead of fight against them, the more success I’ll have.

Instead of trying to force myself to show up like my 35 year old self (even my 45 yr old self!) I’m giving myself the compassion & grace to shift gears, play with routines, modify timelines, expand expectations.

I’m working WITH my energy.

We often fear if we loosen our grip, we’ll “let ourselves go”, never get back to where we were, or be giving up.

Truth is, leaving space for trial n error isn’t lowering your standards at all, it’s expanding them.

It’s widening the breadth of potentiality to meet yourself in the season you’re in.

To listen to your body & sustain your energy, momentum + self belief, instead of pushing yourself into a corner crowded with dusty old routines & schedules that no longer support you.

Just because your output looks different now, doesn’t mean it’ll be like this forever.

Embrace your season.
Expand your success.
This is the work.

I stopped measuring success by how hard I was pushing and started noticing how safe I felt in my body.

More spacious days.
Less self-abandoning yeses.
Decisions that didn’t need explaining (or second guessing).

There was no big brass band announcing the shift. From the outside looking in, you wouldn’t even know.

But I knew.

Everything shifted on the inside.

Seeping into my work, creativity, and confidence from the inside out, like my DNA had been recalibrated.

Yep it’s as delish as it sounds.

Because success isn’t always loud.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Wholesome.
Nourishing, like a warm loaf of banana bread straight from the oven, slathered in salted organic butter.

Here’s the truth about self-leadership..

It’s less about what you achieve & more about who you are.

It’s less about what you do & more about how you do it.

It’s about replacing self abandonment with self sovereignty.

Embodied soul-led self-leadership is about welcoming ALL of who you are to the table and optimising the wisdom of your body, intuition & multidimensionality to expand your potential, power *and* peace.

Yep, you *can* achieve great things while simultaneously bypassing those soft, subtle, often uncomfortable parts of you..but what is the cost?

Yes, embracing those quirky, weird, sensitive, quiet, slower parts of you may make you feel like you’re swimming against the current some days, but they’re also the things that are going to sustain you and expand your capacity to create (and hold) the life you want.

All too often though, we get caught in the riptide of progress, speed and excess and start swimming *against* the current of WHO WE ARE in favour of fitting in, getting “there” quickly, following the formula, and proving we’ve got what it takes.

If this feels like you right now, know it’s not your fault.

Life is moving faster than our evolution and it’s so easy to get swept up by its ferocity.

It is your responsibility to choose differently.

I had this exact choice to make recently.
Do I keep going *even though* my body is screaming ‘enough!’ OR do I listen? Do I throw myself a life jacket?

I chose to come up for air.
To tend to my body. To recalibrate my nervous system. To re-evaluate what was driving me and reconnect with my creativity and desires.

What initially felt like a step back was the hugest step forward.

Not only am I in the drivers seat again, I’m clearer than ever before on what I want AND how I’m going to get it, I’m also showing up for myself more because I’m working with my energy rather than against it.

This is what we do in SOLSTATE— we put you back in the drivers seat and bring you back into rhythm with your energy, your rhythm, your life so showing up for yourself feels easy again.

Ever thought to yourself ‘I know I can do this — I *want* to do this..I’m ready!!..

So why can’t I just DO IT?’

I definitely have. I still do sometimes.

I used to think it was a belief or confidence issue, that maybe I just need to “believe in myself more”, or work on my “enoughness” stuff again.

I was wrong.

Belief and confidence wasn’t the issue — safety was.

Because when it comes to creating the life you want and turning that heart fluttering idea into reality, it’s less about — ‘can I do it?’ and more about — ‘do I feel safe enough to do it?’.

Do I feel safe enough to step out of my comfort zone and give this a go?

Do I trust I’ll be ok if it doesn’t work out?
Do I trust I can hold it if it does!?

Believing you can do something is very different to feeling safe enough to actually do it.

Belief and confidence build ideas.
They plan, they organise, they prepare.
Safety and trust act.
They move. They create.

This is how you finally press play on that book idea that’s been simmering in your notes APP for five years, how you finally launch that group program you’ve been overthinking about since 2024, and how you sign up (and go!) to that pole dancing class you’ve secretly coveted since you saw classes start down the street.

You build safety.

You deepen self trust.

Softly and sustainably.

Great news is — it’s not that hard to do and things get unstuck pretty quickly once you begin moving with these as your focus instead of trying to fix something that ain’t actually broke.

This is the work I do.

vision bored?
maybe, you’ve worked out that holding the vision isn’t your issue.

You know you want to move closer to the water.
You know you want to get your health back on track.
You know you want to feel more energised and have more fcks left in the tank at 3pm.
You know you want to spend more time bringing that new group program to life this year.

Holding the vision is easy.

The thing that isn’t so easy is holding onto the courage, belief and audacity it takes to bring it to life.

The real issue — your inner leader getting hi-jacked.

The noise of the external world (SM, family, friends, colleagues, peers) keeps drowning out your power and potential and you get distracted — say ‘HI!’ to overthinking, comparison, doubt and that A-hole voice in your head saying ‘you’re not smart enough, good enough, hot enough, driven enough… insert your version [here]’.

This year instead of doing a vision board, I’ve done a POWER BOARD (see pic).

It’s slathered in all my superpowers. Jam packed with reminders of who I am, how I navigate the world, the things that feed my energy V drain it.

Because it’s this! It’s these things that make bringing those dreams to life possible.

YOU in your full energy.
Anchored to your inner leader.
Devoted to flipping that pesky inner critic the bird when it tries to sabotage your momentum with — ‘who the f**k do you think you are?’

Your ability to hold the vision isn’t the problem.
Your energy getting hijacked is.

This is why I created SOLSTATE.
To be your living, breathing power board.
A life line helping you stay steady on those days it feels easier to just give up, when you’ve forgotten how epic you are, when fear sizzles in your belly because you’ve stepped out of your comfort zone and risked being misunderstood or seen as “too much”.

Here I hold you solid on the days you’re tired of holding it all on your own.

My work isn’t about giving you a blueprint, it’s about helping you remember, trust, and lead from the truth that already lives within you.

Ready to return to the most trustworthy guide you have — yourself?
I’m here when you are.

Soft-powered ambition isn’t lazy.
It’s precise.
Less about volume, more about value.

You know what burnout feels like and you’re no longer willing to sacrifice your wellbeing to get anywhere or anything.

Nor do you need to.

When people come to work with me they usually come wanting to show up more, ironically they generally leave doing less..

Less of the things that felt forced because they “should”, that’s what the experts say or what everyone else is doing.

Less of the things that no longer feel good, they’ve outgrown or simply don’t have the ‘f**ks to give’…

Discipline is never the issue.

It’s not lack of discipline that has you hitting the snooze button every morning.
It’s not lack of discipline making it hard to get to that HITT class.
It’s not lack of discipline that’s got your to-do list piling up like a basket of dirty laundry.
It’s not lack of discipline holding you back from pressing play on that juicy business idea.

It’s not about trying harder, being more consistent or toughening up.

The key is to showing up for yourself more is recalibrating life (and your expectations) to *meet you* in the energetic season you’re in.

To find a rhythm, speed and capacity that matches who and where you are right now so you start working *with* your energy instead of fighting against it.

To bring YOU back to the centre of your life and have it work *for* you.

If you’re ready to say ‘oh hi there’ to lighter (more aligned) to-do lists, way less overthinking + doubt and more time, space and energy to show up and enjoy the life you’re creating — drop me a 🌞 and I’ll send you the details for SOLSTATE.
