Spending time with my lovely family & friends!
I used to struggle with feeling present, even when surrounded by those I love. It feels good to be on the other side of it!

Morning dog walks without headphones.
In a time when we are constantly being told to habit stack and make every single second ~productive~ having quiet time makes space for ideas and clarity.

Lighting a candle before I work
A simple ritual that shifts me out of default thinking and intentionally creating a container to set intentions for work

Collecting shells
When I was in the Maldives, I found comfort in collecting shells. They’re literally nature’s jewellery hello!! They remind me to celebrate and find beauty in the ordinary.

I love buying vintage Christmas baubles! Dre doesn’t LOVE them... yet 👀

Asking myself “to what end?”
This question really helps ground me and stops me entertaining thoughts that steal my peace.

Birdwatching
I’ve learnt so much from watching birds... like patience and that I’m part of something so much bigger.

What’s one tiny thing that makes your life feel rich? Share it in the comments. I’d love to know! ❤️

We carry so much guilt because we are taught our anger isn’t allowed.

You’re expected to “be the bigger person” as if stuffing your rage down and smiling through it makes you a better person.

All it really does is lead to bitterness, resentment and frustration.

But anger is actually one step CLOSER to coming home to yourself!
The fact you’re feeling it means that there’s something that your body, soul, heart is saying is NOT OKAY. your body is ready to acknowledge something has been taken..

It’s begging for you to choose yourself.

In my book, Homecoming Meditations, there’s a whole chapter about your boundaries and how to enforce them to break free from this cycle so that you have more time and energy to pour into what YOU want to do.

If the guilt hangover after setting a boundary literally makes you never want to speak up for yourself again, then it’s likely that your nervous system is trying to keep up with the huge (but important!!) change of putting yourself first.

When we think of boundaries, we often think of these intimidating huge announcements, but the reality is that it doesn’t always have to be like that.

I’ll be diving into this and lots more in my boundaries masterclass that’s today at 7pm BST with a replay available too!

DM me “Boundaries” for the link!

Can’t wait to meet you there.

In my soon-to-be-released book Homecoming Meditations, one thread that runs throughout is simple: have whatever you want in your inner and outer home, just check in with yourself that you’re the one choosing it. There’s a whole chapter in the Hallway that goes into this (and yes, omg it’s only 18 days until the book is in the world).

Our homes are often crowded with things that aren’t really us. Beliefs that belong to other people, emotions we’ve inherited, objects we keep “just in case.” And that’s before we even get to the cultural pressure to live in beige, tradwife aesthetics and TikTok-approved minimalist Christmas trees. Shame has crept into taste, because when it’s in the water, it’ll get into everything. People are terrified of liking what they like in case it’s “wrong,” in case it’s ugly. My sister teases me about my Pierre Santos sculpture every time she comes over, she thinks it’s ugly, tbh I think it’s ugly, but I bloody LOVE it! Would I hide it? Hell no, do I think it’s amazing, absolutely. Stand on business. Own the things you love, and own it with chest. Love the ugly, the unsensible, the too-much. Including yourself LOL just kidding, I’m in a silly mood.

Art isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. It cracks open the edges, it breaks the shame and invites in your humanity and your awesomeness.

Here are some of my favourite pieces at home:
Haitian beaded art of Mami Wata I had commissioned
A gift a client had commissioned of me by Holly Gorne
A drawing my granny did of a mystical snake
This is the New Order by Irkus Zeberio
A painting from Stephen Wright’s House of Dreams Studio
A sculpture by Pierre Santos
A sculpture by Pigmalion
Another piece by my granny, which I call “the haunted boy”
My Trash Box by Marria Pratts (I must show you this one)
A visit to Wilfrid Wood’s studio in 2018, one of several times he did me dirty lol
More from Stephen Wright’s Studio
My pal Solana inside the House of Dreams back when I worked there in 2018

Do you view art as a necessity too?

Connecting with yourself often looks like doing what your 8-year-old self loved, but felt they had to stop

For me, it’s birds. Nothing calms me like birdsong. No sound I find more beautiful, it melts me. Birds are magic, they are our closest connection to dinosaurs. To me they are tiny gods. Spotting one reminds me that heaven is everywhere.

Childhood Trauma gave me the gift of hypervigilance; I’ll always notice the details others miss. Birdwatching lets that part of me feel useful, even accomplished. On every level it’s good for my heart.

It also takes me back to my granny. She was where this love started. When I stayed at hers, she’d wake me at 4am, all excited. She’d pour herself a brandy and a bowl of clotted cream for her breakfast, and we’d sit in her warm bed under the glow of her tasselled lamp, highlighting the Radio Times and watching the feeders through her binoculars.

Maybe reconnection isn’t about reinvention, but remembering the parts of yourself you once found shameful and now make you feel fully at home.

What did you love as a kid that still makes you feel like you?

I left my phone behind on the way to Paris. At first it felt like a small disaster, but slowly it turned into freedom. At Disney, instead of checking maps or snapping photos, I had to trust Dre, make old-school plans like we did in the nineties, actually say out loud where we’d meet if we got lost. Without a screen in my hand I wasn’t half-there, I was all-in: screaming on rollercoasters, noticing the tiny details, laughing until my face hurt. I didn’t feel less connected without my phone. I felt more alive, and more in love.

Emotions are clever. They shape-shift.
They show up as guilt, duty, logic, even ambition.
But when you learn to call them by their true names—everything changes.

What once controlled you becomes something you can choose.
And that’s where your power begins.

This is the work we do inside Homecoming—learning the language of your emotions so you can finally feel like yourself again.

🕯️ You don’t need more control. You need clarity. Let’s begin.
