Just half an hour. That’s all it takes sometimes to feel the shift.

Tonight’s co-regulation session was such a gentle reminder that showing up, together, makes all the difference. This month we focused on female health and simple lymphatic self-massage… and wow, what a difference in our bodies and energy after just one practice.

Thank you to everyone who came. 💛

These moments matter. We’re not meant to do this alone.

These are free monthly drop-in sessions that happen online every second Tuesday of the month at 7.30pm.

If you’d like to join us, send me a comment/DM.

Enjoy your summer everyone. Until August 🦋😎

We carry guilt like armour.We wear shame like a second skin. And the more we try to push through, the heavier it all becomes.

In this deep and vulnerable episode, I’m joined again by the brilliant Jackie and Laura as we unpack the complex emotions of guilt, shame, and self-worth — especially as mothers, business owners, healers, and women trying to do it all.

Together we explore:

💛The difference between guilt and shame (and why it matters)

💛How mum guilt, overperformance, and “good girl” programming drain your energy

💛Why we often feel shame over decisions we made in survival mode

💛Real stories of loss, regret, motherhood, money blocks, and healing

💛Practical tools to move from emotional overload to somatic self-forgiveness

This is a powerful conversation about what it really takes to stop self-blame and return to self-trust — through truth, compassion, and your values.

Thank you to Jackie and Laura for being with us.

💛 This one will land deep.

Inside this short session, you’ll learn:

Why your nervous system might be screaming for expansion, not rest

The surprising truth about why “doing nothing” can feel worse than “doing the scary thing”

A personal story of how I moved from fear to self-trust (and the unexpected calm that followed)

🎧 Feeling overwhelmed by your dreams?

You’re not broken or alone - your nervous system is overloaded.

In this episode, we explore why high-achieving, heart-led women often get trapped in shiny object syndrome, procrastination, and self-doubt, despite having big goals and a clear calling. This isn’t just about mindset. It’s about overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, and hidden fear of failure or success.

You’ll learn:

🦋 Why your brilliant creativity becomes chaotic under pressure

🦋 How fear of failure, visibility, and not being good enough keeps you stuck

🦋 The 3-step process to go from doubt and confusion to clarity and action

🦋 How to move from passion to purpose (without burnout)

🦋 The truth about why DIY healing and binge-watching self-help content doesn’t work

✨ You don’t need more information—you need clarity, embodiment, and support.

🌿 Anxiety Isn’t Just in Your Mind, It’s in Your Body 🌿

Let’s talk about something you may not realise: Anxiety isn’t just a “mindset problem.” It’s your body’s survival system going into overdrive.

Anxiety is a future-focused fear. Your mind races with “what if” scenarios, your body tightens, your heart rate spikes, all because your nervous system is preparing you to fight, flee, or freeze against a perceived threat. But here’s the twist:

🧠 Your nervous system doesn’t know the difference between a real danger and an imagined one.
Whether it’s a tiger in the jungle or an uncomfortable email you’re avoiding, your body responds the same way, adrenaline, cortisol, a flood of stress chemicals.

But here’s what you might not know…

👉 The fastest way to calm your anxiety is to bring your body back to the present moment.
Because the present is where your power is.

And that’s where the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Technique comes in.

🚀 5-4-3-2-1: A Somatic Science-Backed Reset

🔹 5 Things You Can See: This immediately shifts your focus from your racing thoughts to your environment. It tells your nervous system, “I’m here. I’m safe.”

🔹 4 Things You Can Touch: The sense of touch is one of the fastest ways to anchor your body in the now. Cold water, a textured object, your clothing—all become evidence that you are safe.

🔹 3 Things You Can Hear: Sound has a direct line to your nervous system. Whether it’s the hum of a fan, the rustle of leaves, or the sound of your own breath, it pulls you out of your head.

🔹 2 Things You Can Smell: Scent is directly linked to the limbic system (your brain’s emotional center). A calming essential oil, your morning coffee, even the scent of fresh air can signal safety.

🔹 1 Thing You Can Taste: A sip of water, a mint, or just the sensation of your own tongue in your mouth. Grounding is all about bringing you back to the now.

💡 Why This Works (The Science):

When you use your senses, you’re engaging your prefrontal cortex…the rational part of your brain, pulling you out of the survival mode of your amygdala (the fear center). It’s like telling your body, “We’re okay. We’re here. We’re safe.”

⚡ Because here’s the truth:

Anxiety is your body stuck in a “future threat” loop. But grounding reminds it that there is no threat, only this moment.

This isn’t just “mindset work.”
It’s Nervous System Regulation.

And it’s the missing piece most self-help advice forgets.
