✨ A Little Reminder About Authenticity (and Why It’s So Uncomfortable Sometimes) ✨

So, let’s talk about authenticity for a minute…

We all LOVE the idea of being “authentic” don’t we?
Like yes.... show up as your real self, live your truth, be raw, be vulnerable, be a beacon of empowerment…

…but also…
not when my eye is sore and I look like I’ve just lost a fight with a pollen factory. 😭

Honestly this week I’ve felt weirdly vulnerable about putting real pictures of myself on social media.
I’ve been staring at the camera like:

📸 “Is this… my face? In public? For free??”

And going live? Absolutely not.
I haven’t wanted to do it because I feel like my face is doing that thing where it’s technically still my face…
…but also slightly giving “local pirate recovering from a rough night at sea.” 🏴‍☠️

And while we’re being authentic…

Over Christmas I fell off the wagon with my hypnotic audios.
Just stopped listening.
Like I had a whole routine going and then suddenly it was Christmas and my brain went:

🎄 “We’re busy now. We’re eating. We’re resting. We’re pretending January is a myth.”

So I’ve basically plateaued on my weight reduction journey.

And because I haven’t been feeling 100%… I’ve been tucking into some delicious things that are probably not that good for me.
Like little bits of toxic joy wrapped in pastry. 😌

Am I aware I’m bringing a bit of toxicity into my world?
Yes.
Will I suffer for it long term?
Also yes.
Do I care currently?
Not even a little bit. 💅

So in a moment of vulnerability (and sheer laziness), I decided to outsource my confidence.

I asked ChatGPT to make me slimmer and sort out my facial hair…

…and this is what happened. 😂

Let’s just say…
It’s giving “me, but after a dramatic personal rebrand...

So yeah… here’s your reminder:

💛 Being authentic is powerful.
💛 Being vulnerable is brave.
💛 And sometimes, being yourself means showing up even when you don’t feel like the polished version of you.

And sometimes it means posting the AI version and saying....

“I’ll definitely be back on the hypnotic audios Monday.” 🤣

✨ Ready to stop fighting your body and start caring for it? ✨

So many “diet plans” begin with rules, restriction, and willpower… but real, lasting change starts somewhere else: with safety, comfort, and compassion. 💛

In my latest blog, I share the powerful first step of The Metta Diet — “Get Ready and Set” — and why creating a calm space and consistent routine can help you shift from stressful, reactive dieting into a more peaceful, mindful way of eating and living. 🌿🧘‍♀️

If you’ve ever felt stuck in emotional eating, all-or-nothing thinking, or body frustration… this is the reset your mind has been craving.

💛 Free Meditation Class This Thursday (6:30–7:30pm) 💛

This month’s theme is Opening the Heart, and in this week’s session, we’ll be exploring how shifting into a more positive emotional state can change how we feel, think, and even carry ourselves.

✨ This week’s guided practice includes a Gratitude Meditation designed to help you get used to sitting in a genuine state of gratitude. When we practise noticing what’s already good in our lives, rather than focusing on what’s missing, it can create powerful shifts in mood, perspective, and wellbeing.

🌿 We’ll include:
• Gentle stretch
• Heart-opening meditation
• Gratitude practice
• Space to share + questions

🗓 Thursday
⏰ 6:30pm – 7:30pm
💻 On Zoom
💛 Free to join
