The Tidal 50, Englefield Green (2025)

Why do we forget this? We get so caught up and at times, sabotage someone’s effort caring for us. How about you?
Women are spinning plates and we’re often the ones we drop.
Miss a meal, shorten sleep, self care out the window.
What are your reasons? Can you rejig your day? So that everyone gets the best of you because you didn’t leave yourself threadbare and frazzled?

Love to you from The Tidal 50

Hi - the website is off air momentarily so if you want to book in a chat about what The Tidal 50 can be for you and your pregnancy, ping me an email so we can link up for an informal but informative natter - my training has been full throttle in my other profession so I’ve been quiet here besides chopping my hair off ready for the summer heat and resting from social media but let’s get those summer courses underway!
Love to you x

The Art & Science of Looking Up showed how one of the most basic things to do has profound effects on our cognitive, creative, productive and relationship developments. Our sense of identity and belonging is enhanced. Our view of the world and our connectedness.
When we are trying to attain life goals like having good relationships and babies etc - the difficulty reaching them can mean deep sadness and grief, making you look down and in. Chin up girlie.

We have to look out for each other and give each other a leg up x

I don’t mean let apathy creep in. But maybe I do - a little where it should. The old serenity prayer, a good starting point, courage to change the things you can, accepting what you can’t and the wisdom to know the difference.

I get so tired of hearing how half the planets population get told they over-think it, are over-sensitive, too emotional etc etc.
We have to pick our battles. And turn our backs occasionally so we don’t implode or explode or let people/situations ruin carefully laid plans for the week and beyond.

Good luck for the remainder of yours x

Anyone else go through loner times? Not lonely - not discontented but disconnected.
Disconnected from here - social media distractions, from unnecessary connections with people and jobs.
A peaceful moment to throw open the windows

Watching the world go by….

What have you learned?
What do you really want?

The emotions after feeling levels of disloyalty-by a girlfriend or partner-range from loneliness/confusion/shame/insecurity/disgust/fear/sadness/anger to simply surprise. How do you think it over? Or are you told you’re over-thinking it?

When you feel you had a joint vision and plan but then they throw you under the bus for laughs or disowning that vision/plan - it’s hard to put them fully back on their pedestal. How to DEAL with those feelings?
Only you know in your gut. The disconnect are their words and actions. You know what’s right for you. Maybe it wasn’t the time and place yet…

Have you been keeping up the slower life of the past two years? Or has your world sped back up? The centrifugal force pins you, the one thing holding you up is the glimpse of the goodness around you.
The pace of our lives and all that we want - a better shot at things, better relationships, perhaps a family of our own and YET the pace can be the thing that blurs and blots the chances. Let’s try and hold what’s true and enjoy the gentle shifts to appreciate the big changes ###

There’s so much to be said for the female gaze. There are podcasts, magazines and whole other aspects of our culture geared to understanding, feeding, marketing to and entertaining it.
Maybe the eye of the beholder directs their likes/loves/dislikes to their gut though? Isn’t THAT where you KNOW? You savour? You follow on from?

How we project ourselves, the level of vanity from 0-10, the clothes we order or buy thrift, what we surround ourselves with and where and with whom.

Are we consciously growing or drifting? I saw recently posted about this, how we always should be growing, in all ways, shape shifting, getting light in through the cracks and surging towards it.
What do you see? Do you like it? What needs to change in your space?

It’s been a week since I lost a friend who was one of my most favourite people I’d ever met. He lived life like it was a party. He made an effort with everyone. He’d cheer you up and bring you along and he had the best flippant phrases. I’ve always tried to live that same way - light and with plenty of laughter.
Hard to laugh right now. But let’s not delay the things we haven’t managed another minute. Let’s live life to the brim.

Taking a back seat in your own life.
We have to put on the oxygen mask before helping others - to BE ABLE to help others. We need wishes to come true to help others have the same.
And get help to avoid suffering. Easier said than done isn’t it.

Infertility is the silent monthly nightmare for so many couples and women get the brunt of the insensitive prodding questions, testing and keyhole surgeries.
“Unexplained” is one of the worst diagnoses - I had this, plus underlying issues and so I understand the helplessness. The flip side of people asking their rude, annoying questions is sometimes you find kindred spirits and help. AND you end up educating people…

For you and all the others who found it ‘trip over easy’ - for your first or perhaps feeling like you want to know better second time round, I have the best informal course for you. This can be solo and personalised (the private introverts preferred way!) classes or Zoom to suit any location worldwide. The Hypnobirthing element is taken care of separately in this last method of teaching.

The main word I dallied with adding to the post is “happily”. Unwanted, surprises can be distressing and not just to you. It’s anguish with a capital a.
So I hope we all have a lot of fun this New Years and 2022 generally and the surprises we want in life!
Here’s to your health, wealth and happiness!

❤️

This is not my normal way at all, big over-share - but someone who helped me become myself in so many ways from the age of 19years old, passed away yesterday in an ICU. He was an extraordinary man married to another and was one of my husband and I’s best friends. We shared many adventures, kindnesses and the biggest laughs with him. I’ve stolen many quips/sayings and expressions and he’ll live forever in my heart.
Part of The Tidal 50 is down to him - I never would have embarked on becoming an antenatal teacher if he hadn’t persuaded me to be a trainer/teacher many years ago in another capacity. He put belief in me, and gave me a shove out the shy door with a feather in my cap. He was big-hearted and a legend.
So I want to toast the men and women who make you a better person and leave this world after a triumphant life that inspires the rest of ours.
What a boy…he passed his 53rd birthday in hospital but thank goodness for the many many other days we shared.

Khalil Gibran for times like these.

How true is this?! How much we project our admiration based on our hopes, anticipations, dreams, and so much is not reality. It’s our brain chemistry and love (or not) for another. We get gifts based on that! Magnifying someone in our higher estimation. Given and received.
Hope you are having a wonderful time with family and friends 🙏❤️

Merry Christmas! Love Siobhan on my 24th Christmas with this boyo x

Merry Christmas to all you Women -
Hope you get a moment or a gift that you give yourself - something that lights you up, whether it’s reading or lighting a candle and watching Hallmark movies or hearing the sound of the ocean in your heart and breath with a good book taking you on an adventure. Peace to you

For those making plans or forming dreams for the year ahead, if it includes a baby, and you want a full and enjoyable course on what to expect - DM me anytime.
For the rest of you, let’s stand shoulder to shoulder and support each other through a beautiful holiday that might be throwing up tough times. I know of a new mother and an older guy - in hospital and it’s touch and go, and so tough on those who can’t see them through visitor restrictions etc. love to everyone - MERRY CHRISTMAS
Love Siobhan x

The rhythms us Women live by, are deeply biologically programmed and celestial.
They wait for no man or a man’s way of life despite how hard we try-we should follow our bodies as best we can and this winters solstice.
Take comfort in our sisterhood, in our instincts and ways of old wiser women. We are Mother Earth and without this wisdom and instinctual way of life, we have problems with womb health, fertility, mental wellness, sleep patterns, healing, diet and more.
We need to stop and listen to our vibrant beat of our heart and mind, follow the good sense it offers.
Follow our quieter winter season and get cosy with our friends. Good laughs, nourishing conversations, sitting for a moment and feeling that love and companionship. Making friends with our own bodies - we are all The Tidal 50

How to feel better. Small things for big feelings to change for the better.
