Juggling so much in my head right now it actually feels like smoke might come out my ears 🤯💨

🧠 Uni assignment is nearly done (just 200 more words and one more bloody research survey to complete and we’re golden 💪🏼) if you know, you know!
💻 100 tabs open on my laptop, none of which are helping the situation.
📓 Workbook creation and facilitator training content is flowing beautifully…🙂.
📄 IPHM accreditation application for The Graceful Alignment Method™ is underway (cue the excited squeals and a little imposter wobble too!😂)
👧 and we finally have an adhd medication appointment for Scarlett tomorrow after 3 years 🤦🏼‍♀️ but still not quite 100% about that atm but we see how that goes!!

But if I’m totally honest underneath all that, I’m bloody tired.

I’m a little frazzled 😳.

It’s not nice when you know your nervous system needs to just be. It makes everything feel heavier than it needs to be. I’ve reached a point where even the tiniest thing sets me off, and I’m not proud of how short my fuse is lately either!!!

But I’m also done pretending.

So tonight:
🌿 Magnesium + Epsom salt bath ✔️
📔 Journal is getting absolutely battered ✔️
💜 Grounding, breathing, and giving myself permission to not have all the answers today ✔️
✨ reiki self healing in bed ✔️

I know tomorrow is a new day, I’ll meet it with better boundaries, clearer intentions, and a little more grace for myself 😁 because I’m absolutely done with today.

What I’m learning from this is…
💜 I get to put me first again, I’m allowed to do that.
💜 I get to feel angry or frustrated and still choose healing.
💜 I get to reset my energy one breath, one choice at a time.

So, if you’re feeling it too just know you’re not alone. Not every day is graceful. Not every day is perfect and healing certainly isn’t nice and pretty!! Far from it!! But every day gives us a chance to realign with our truth!!

Remember WE ARE NOT PERFECT 👌🏼 so don’t pretend to be!! We are all human!

Let me know in the comments…
What’s one thing you’re learning from the messy middle of healing right now? 👇🏼

Now this is just amazing to see 🥰 it gave me all the feels today 🫶🏻

This is exactly why I created the Energy Anchor Reset to help you come back home to yourself. Your mind, your body, your soul… and most importantly, your truth 💪🏼💜.

To read words like this, knowing someone felt safe, supported, and empowered through the journey… honestly, it means the world.

I can’t believe how many of you have already downloaded it in just two weeks 😭💜

If you’ve grabbed it, don’t forget to join the Graceful Healing in Alignment community over on Facebook and share how you’re getting on, your journey will inspire others more than you realise.

Not got yours yet? It’s free, powerful, and ready when you are.
You can grab it in my bio or comment the word “ALIGN” and I’ll send it over to you 🥰.

You don’t have to feel stuck, disconnected, or out of sync anymore.

Let this be the start of your alignment journey 💜

Yesterday I finally got my hands on my little sister Jess 😂 not literally but magically 🤣 🙌🏼 ✨
I guided her through a graceful alignment session, (a healing modality I have created) and it was beautiful it was gentle but profound and empowering 😍 we even had fun tapping and boogying, and my neice amelia even did it with us 🥰.

I’m currently doing my reiki masters and I used a master symbol and my god it was so powerful 💜 can’t even explain this but she felt it all, the healing, the energy, everything 🫶🏻

She needed this so much and I’m so happy she allowed me to hold space for her 🫶🏻

If you are in a place where you know the mindset work is helping a little, doing other things too but there is still something missing, you feel stuck, imbalanced almost, you maybe find yourself feeling fearful of the future or just numb and not sure why then join us on Monday 18th August at 10am for my free workshop and let me show you just how the graceful alignment method works 💜
Just say “alignment” in the comments and I’ll send it over to you or head over to my bio 🫶🏻

This is what she had to say 👇🏻 🥰

You are allowed to change. 💜

You’re allowed to wake up one day and decide:
“This version of me no longer fits who I’m becoming.”

You’re allowed to let go of old patterns, toxic coping mechanisms and toxic people,

You’re allowed to make different choices, and rewrite the story, even if others are still clinging to the pages they loved throwing in your face and gossiping about!!

Yes, I used to drink.
Yes I used to take drugs.
Yes, I’ve made mistakes.
Yes, I’ve raised my kids all while navigating my own pain and learning the hard way.

And I’m still here, age 44, doing the inner work, breaking cycles, healing wounds, and choosing better, for me, for my children and my granddaughter 🥰.

And that takes strength.

It’s never ever too late 💪🏼 and don’t let someone’s opinions make you doubt that!!

If someone needs to gossip or throw my past around like it defines me, that’s on them.
The thing is that people who are deeply unhappy often try to project their pain by mocking someone else’s progress, or just mocking and judging others in general, and I know this because I used to do this too many moons ago, I was a pro at it 😂🤦🏼‍♀️.

But it’s not the truth, that’s a reflection of their own unhealed mess. what they need to do is take responsibility for their own unhappiness, and take a look in the mirror 🪞 and focus on themselves instead of shaming other people.

Here’s what I know:
🖤 I’m proud of my sobriety (565 days today!)
🖤 I’m proud of the mum I am because I keep showing up.
🖤 I’m proud of my kids, qualified engineer, newly graduated teacher and my girl Scarlett who will absolutely smash life and she is still progressing through childhood. (Proud of them all).
🖤 I’m a proud uni student, business owner and creator of an incredible healing modality.
🖤 And I’m proud of anyone who chooses healing, even when it’s messy, lonely, and full of judgement from people who wouldn’t survive a day in your shoes.

So if you’re reading this and wondering if it’s too late to change, it’s absolutely not.

Your past does not get to write the rest of your story and your future!!
You do. ✍🏼✨

✨ Feeling off but can’t quite explain why?
It might be your energy.

When your Energy centres are out of sync, it can show up as:

– Constant overthinking
– Random mood swings
– Tight chest or shallow breath
– Feeling disconnected or foggy
– That low-level ‘meh’ that won’t shift

No matter how much “mindset” work I did, it just wasn’t enough!!!! This past 2 years I realised a lot about the energy in our bodies!!! I have done so much research, my own inner work and guiding others on their healing journeys to realise just working with the subconscious mind isn’t enough, their needs to be a balance of mind, body and soul work to have that alignment 👌🏼✨ and when you find that it’s a wonderful feeling 😁.

I created a free 7-day Energy Anchor Reset™ to help you start the process of bringing balance back to your mind, body and soul, because you deserve to feel like you again.

I originally shared this as a post during the a week or so ago and the DMs I got were unreal, because this is what people are afraid to say out loud.

So here it is again as a reminder 🫶🏻

You’re not “doing it wrong” if you still cry, if you still ache, if you still cry often, if you still haven’t “moved on.”

💜 In my world, we honour grief.
We hold space for it.
We learn to live with it and not erase it.

If that’s something you need, you know where I am.

There was a time I felt completely broken.
Grief had its grip on me.
I’d lost my dad, then Grace, and then friends 😢
Each loss chipped away at me, my identity, my confidence, my spark. Life felt dull!!

I looked fine on the outside, still showing up for my family, still running a business, still doing all the things. Smiling, laughing!
inside, I was exhausted.
I was holding it all together with emotional masking tape.
Telling myself I had to be strong for everyone else.

What nearly broke me wasn’t just the loss.
It was feeling like I had to do it alone.

But the truth is, that pain became the reason I turned inward and did the real healing work.
I stopped numbing. I stopped the toxic coping mechanisms. I stopped pretending.
I started choosing me, through breath work, Belief Coding®, sound healing, inner child work, nervous system support, and lots of bloody tears and uncomfortable growth.

I realised I didn’t need fixing, I just needed space to feel what was real. I just needed space to be!

That shift changed everything.

Now? 🥰
My healing, my calm, my boundaries come first!! 💪🏼 around me and my family though I’ve created programmes, retreats, 1-1 sessions in a safe space for others to do the same as I have.
Not because I’ve got it all figured out, but because I’ve walked through it, and I know the way. I know how it feels to be overwhelmed and a little lost!!

But it It’s starts with you 💪🏼💜

💜 If you’re in that place right now where it all feels heavy just know that you’re not too far gone. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

What did it teach me?
That grief and growth can live in the same breath.
That even when you’re cracked wide open, you can still rise with softness and fire.

What’s something you thought might break you… but didn’t?
👇 I’d love to hold space for you too

🔥 Unpopular opinion 👇🏻

➡️ Grief doesn’t need fixing.

It’s not a problem to be solved or a phase to just “get over.”
It doesn’t come with a timeline.
It’s not neat or easy.
And it doesn’t magically disappear with a few positive affirmations or a good cry.

Grief is love that has nowhere physical to go.
It’s messy, not straight forward and it’s a bundle of emotions all smashed into one.
And it deserves to be acknowledged, felt, processed and not silenced.

If someone tells you to “just stay positive” “you will get over it soon” or “you’ll feel better soon,” that’s not support 🤦🏼‍♀️ that’s discomfort disguised as encouragement.

Here’s what I know from experience 👇🏻
💜 You can still grieve years later and be doing an incredible job in the process.
💜 You can feel joy, happiness and pain at the same time.
💜 You’re allowed to smile again, laugh again, and still miss them with your whole heart.

In my world, we don’t fix grief, we learn to live with it, we allow it to walk alongside us.
We carry it with grace, instead of guilt.

So no, I’m not here to help you “move on or get over it”.

Absolutely not!!!

I’m here to help you move forward with love, truth, and presence in your heart.

💜 If you’re still grieving, even after years you’re not broken.
You’re human.
And that’s ok.

When you decide that today, for the first time ever…
you’re not walking the dogs…
because today is lifing HARD, and she knows 😳😂🐶 👀

I’ve got my grief programme clients tonight 💛
A uni assignment to finish by midday 🧠
Physio appointment at 10.30am 💪🏼
Cleaning, cooking, and a 1-1 session to prep for…
So I made the executive decision to skip the dog walk this morning, as much as I enjoy them!!

And this is the face I’m getting 😅👇🏻
Absolute side-eye of judgement.
She knows. I know she knows.
And now the guilt has settled in like a weighted blanket 🤣

But sometimes, you’ve gotta make peace with the fact that you’re one human, and you can’t do everything all at once. The dogs are still loved. The cuddles are plenty. The walk will come later 🐾 and we have a huge garden filled with birds to chase and sunshine to sunbathe in 🤷🏼‍♀️🤣 🐶

Here’s your permission slip to do what you can today and be okay with what you can’t do 💫🫶🏻🥰

You say you’re stuck… but what if you’re just scared of who you’ll become when you stop playing small? Scared of what healing can do for you?

The version of you who actually feels calm.
Clear.
Worthy.
Loved by you. 🥰

🌀 You’re overwhelmed before the day even begins.
🌀 Your chest feels tight, your mind’s racing, and you’re carrying tension in your body you didn’t even realise was there.
🌀 You’re saying yes when you want to scream no.
🌀 You’re giving to everyone else, but running on empty.
🌀 You’re pretending it’s fine because being the strong one is what you do.
🌀 you very rarely put you first and selfcare is none existent.

What my retreat day can do for you:
🌿 You leave feeling softer, stronger, clearer.
🌿 You’ve met parts of yourself that were waiting to be seen and heard.
🌿 You start to rewrite the beliefs that have held you back for years.
🌿 You feel safe enough to rest… and powerful enough to rise.
🌿 You remember who the f*ck you are.

My self love reset retreat is deep. Real. Empowering.
It’s not about becoming someone else, it’s about coming back home to yourself.

It’s all happening Sunday 13th July in Otley Leeds 10am - 3pm 💜

If this landed in your body, there’s probably a reason 💫

Just say “ME” in the comments or message me privately if you have any questions, 🫶🏻 it would be amazing to have you with us 💜

If you can’t make it I’d love you to share this post I’d very much appreciate it 🥰

Grief doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes it looks like burnout, people-pleasing, or feeling stuck. 😩

3 Things You Didn’t Know Might Be Signs of Unprocessed Grief (That Aren’t Crying in a Corner) 👇
1. 😵‍♀️ You feel constantly overwhelmed or exhausted, even though you’re “keeping it together.”
Grief lives in the nervous system. It drains your energy because you’re carrying emotional weight you’re not even aware of.
2. 🤐 You people-please or avoid conflict like the plague because somewhere deep down, you’ve linked being loved or accepted with being “easy to be around.” That’s not peace 🙄 that’s survival mode.
3. 🧱 You feel stuck, numb or flat… and don’t know why. Grief isn’t just about losing someone, it’s also about losing parts of you, your identity, your confidence, your dreams.

I see these patterns all the time in the women I support.
And once we name it, we can heal it.

Because here’s the truth:
💥 You don’t have to “get over it” to move forward.
You just need the right support to carry it with love and grace.

💍✨Happy Anniversary to Us✨💍
14 years 💜 🥇 we deserve medals 😂

When we first met, we were both a little broken, just two people carrying the weight of past hurts, drained and doubtful. But somehow, the universe aligned and brought us together… and I’m thankful for that every single day. 🫶🏻

Im grateful as he has held me up quite a bit over the years, especially in grief.
As individuals we have both changed since we said the famous words “I DO” But through every wave he has held me up. He has never once let go of my hand. He loves fiercely, passionately, and with his whole heart.

Every couple goes through tough times and we have had our fair share, but I fall asleep with you and wake up with you every single day loving you.John ‘Ibbo’ Ibbotson
A lot of people didn’t think we’d make it. Some even tried to break us. But guess what?

We won. Every. Time.
Because love always wins. 💪🏼 💜

Thank you for loving me John , through my storms even when I’m a bit of a challenge (I know I’m hard work sometimes 😂 even I struggle with me some days 😂🤦🏼‍♀️).

I love you more than the whole universe.
Thank you for choosing me again and again.
Happy anniversary, my love 💜

❤️ ❤️
