Refuses to admit she’s got too big for radiator naps.. 🤍

I have been wanting to write this post for a long time but these words don't seem to come easy.

I still have little idea of what I am trying to accomplish with sharing how much I am struggling but if one person reads this and realises they aren't alone then great.

On paper 2021 looked as though it was an amazing year, I mean myself and my husband started two successful business' during a global fu***ng pandemic.. It was probably the biggest year of growth for us to date.

So why do I feel as though everything isn't real? Why do I feel as though I am living in a simulation that's about to crash? Why am I disassociating and why do I feel numb to the things that used to bring me joy?

Now firstly the fact I recognise these behaviours and patterns within myself reminds me of how much work I have done to overcome the traumas and grief of my past, there have definitely been darker days and the fact I see myself as separate to these thoughts reminds me that this is bigger than 'just me'.

Recently I have spoken to a few friends and students and I am not alone, as a collective we are exhausted and completely burnt out, and honestly, I don't think our nervous systems can take anymore. The damage of the past two years has fractured our society, it has suppressed our capacity to love and feel compassion towards not only others but ourselves. We are collectively living in a shadow state of fear and if you are a 'feeler' of the world that can be crippling.

Despite all of this I am inspired by the resilience of my friends, family and strangers I meet on a daily basis (two of the biggest inspo’s pictured above), inspired by people who remind me not to 'let it go' but to sit with these feelings, give them space to be seen, know that they are not defining, they are evolving and with acceptance will help me grow.

We may be tired but I feel a shared desire to heal. If we start by forgiving the circumstances that got us here, to stop living in fear of the past two years our subconscious might have the chance to recover.

A few words inspired by the women who joined myself and for our retreat at 🤍

‘When she trusts in the fire of her soul she ignites the world around her..
When she leans into her softness she allows stillness to befriend her..
When she surrenders to the power of her intuition the questions that haunt her fade..
When she realises her potential she dances amongst possibilities that were always hers..
When she steps into her full power she holds space for those around her to follow’.

So much love for and the people it attracts, I feel so honoured to have stood beside my sisters holding space for the absolute power houses that joined us.

I wish I could communicate with her to explain how she’s saved my mental health, how my days are filled with laughter and how my heart finally feels as though it’s healing.

She came home on the 4 year anniversary of my best friends death and maybe that’s why she isn’t ‘just a cat’, maybe that’s why I love her a little more than I think I should. I am certain her soul has met his in a previous life, she isn’t him, but she’s known him, she loves me like he used too.

I don’t think people can ever understand (and I pray they never do) the grief you feel on a daily basis from a loss so great, and as I sit here on this ‘mental health awareness day’ I know I still have a long way to go but I also know I’ve come a fu***ng long way.

To anyone struggling, no matter what you are struggling with, you are seen, you are loved and you are aloud to heal in your own time.

I miss you Anf, but I thank you for sending her.

ABOUT ME

My granddad used to torment me for spending the majority of my time upside down while I was a kid, fast forward 20 years and nothing has changed. I am a complete movement enthusiast, I cannot start my day without a headstand.

In all seriousness from the age of three movement has been the biggest most influential aspect of my life. My love of movement started with gymnastics, I practised nearly everyday for nine years. I was almost at my physical peak when I obtained a back injury that would put me out of action for a few years. Absolutely devastated but even more determined I started weekly Ballet classes. Maybe I have an obsessive personality because this quickly became my only interest. I then started at a centre for advanced training and fell completely in love with contemporary dance, the expressive nature of this art form allowed me to move in new ways.

I was hooked, nothing gave me greater joy. I decided to audition for Trinity Laban, a leading contemporary dance conservatoire, 8 months later I was moving to London to start the biggest adventure of my life. Three years of unimaginable training, a broken ankle (cue my new obsession with injuries) and lifelong friends I left with first class BA honours in Contemporary Dance, specialising in Dance Science.

At this point in my life I had a huge decision to make, perform professionally or travel. I loved nothing more than dancing but something was calling me to move to Australia (turns out it was my now husband). So off I went to travel the world.
