💫 We finally celebrated our marriage this weekend – only 5 years later!

💫 We were lucky to get married in a tiny window between lockdowns during COVID, but like many, we couldn’t celebrate with friends and family.

💫 After putting it off again and again, we finally decided: why not? Sequins and all!

💫 So often in life we downplay milestones, moving quickly on to the next thing.

💫 But to me at least, celebrating matters — it brings people together, creates connection, joy and laughter.

💫 And I think we could all use a good dose of that right now!

💫 What are you celebrating this week? I’d love to hear!

🌿 What makes you feel most self-conscious?

🌿 For me, it has always been sharing my unique skills. The skills that come naturally to each of us.

🌿 Not the generic ones. Not the ones we are often taught in a tough, pressurised environment.

🌿 The ones that come from each of our hearts - if we have the courage to share them.

🌿 This podcast is the first time I have spoken about how I have gently but intentionally begun to focus on what I do best, and share in a way which hopefully benefits the environment I am in.

🌿 Weaving together mindfulness, human-centered change, and AI has been an incredible experience, and I feel extremely fortunate to be putting these skills into practice day to day.

🌿 Hearted and motivated by the perspective of Aneesh Raman from Linkedin, joined by Jane Barrett at our recent TR Learning Day; who reinforced the need to build our human skills (the 5 Cs — creativity, communication, courage, compassion and curiosity)

🌿 The world is re-thinking how we do almost everything, the time is now to step into your unique capabilities, own them and live them every day!

✨ 3 Lessons from the Mountain ✨

🌀 Let go of schedules (when you can)
Instead of filling every free moment with to-dos, ask yourself: What do I need right now? Follow energy, not time.

🌀 Slow down to see the signs
Look up. Notice the trees, the colours, the birdsong. When we pause, the subtle signs within and around us become clearer.

🌀 Indulge your curiosity
That class, group, or new skill you’ve been drawn to? Try it. Curiosity opens the door to fresh perspectives.

🌿 It’s truly hard to explain the magic that happens on this beautiful mountain .cocoon

💫 The transformation, the healing, the joy, the laughter, the dancing, the creativity, the love..

🌈 The entire spectrum of the rainbow of humanity is felt and seen in this very special place

🙏🏼 When women come together to share, to open, to listen, to hold space for each other.

🙏🏼 It is the true essence of ‘living your yoga’ - not by schedule and time, but by being in flow of what is meant to happen each day, each moment

🌿 It is hard of course to live like that in our lives away from the mountain

🌿 But by experiencing it, tasting it, embodying it for a few days - somehow it opens up your perspective to try and keep the mountain within.

To try and bring in what is possible to our day to day..

🦋 That is what the mountain teaches us, that we can connect to our own flow, that we can decide to live in a way that makes us feel alive

🦋 Because we are alive, right now in this moment.

🙏🏼 We don’t know what is to come next, but we can be here, present, now.

🧡 With an overflowing heart, I thank .cocoon for creating this magical space on the mountain.

🙏🏼 It was a great honour and privilege to be part of creating something so special, here’s to whatever will unfold next.

🍃 Join me and our wonderful community as we transition through the seasons together

🍃 I am really excited about the variety of spaces we are creating

🍃 Through my experience, I’ve learned that we all need different spaces at different times, to support us through the shifts

🍃 Sometimes we need stillness, sometimes we need movement, sometimes we need community, nature, creativity

🍃 The one constant is: space

🍃 My on-going mission is to create a sanctuary of space, for everyone caught in the relentless pace of life today

🍃 Join me to slow down, and settle into calm intentional spaces to tune in and connect more deeply with yourself.

If you feel pulled to any of these spaces, message me directly here or below with SPACE 🙏🏼🍃

🍃 We have been exploring different ways to support teams with AI adoption, one of which we took outside to make the most of the recently renovated settings in CW, thank you project

🍃 A group of us gathered to explore how using mindfulness and tuning into somatic intelligence, could help guide teams with more clarity and compassion in an AI-integrated world.

🍃 We used the simple FROM / TO method to evaluate how the group felt before, and after the session.

🍃 These were some of the key words that came out:

Shifting FROM: busy, tired, unfocused, rushed

TO: calmer, inspired, curious, connected

🍃 Not withstanding the typical British weather (rain, wind and sun!!) - being outside was a catalyst for reflection, clarity, and rethinking how we lead and learn.

🍃 In a time of rapid transformation, slowing down can be a radical act of leadership.

🍃 Let’s keep reimagining how we work!

🍃 Nature on my side, a Microsoft WorkLab podcast on the other as I cycle into the office!

That is how life has been lately.

🍃 Trying to juggle the pressure of ‘keeping up’ with the calming essence of nature, which encourages us all to slow down.

It is quite the paradox.

🍃 I am determined to be more present, and not mix and match things in the way I have started doing.

🍃 Finding time to slow down feels more impossible than ever - but there are always moments of opportunity if we look for them.

🍃 Whether it is on your bike ride home, on your commute or a few moments of quiet before your day starts - try taking a few slower deeper breaths and just ask yourself:

🌀 What is true for me right now?
🌀 How do I feel emotionally, physically?

🍃Notice what comes up, and how it feels in your body to connect more intentionally.

17/08/2025

🌀 Through a breath, a mindset shift or a strategic roadmap, my mission is the same:

☀️ To help you move forward feeling empowered and energised by your unique strengths and capabilities 🙌🏻

🍃 Personally and professionally, I have been compassionately challenging myself to think differently, outside of the familiarity of frameworks and systems, and more towards:

☀️ Deeper connection
☀️Intentional collaboration
☀️ Deeper listening & understanding

Reimagining takes space for reflection.

Putting reflections into action, takes courage.

To me, having courage means to feel deeply connected to who we are, what we believe in, trusting in how we show up for ourselves and amongst our friends and colleagues.

🌀 Through workshops, coaching and intentional collaboration:

I create space for reflection and practical steps to move forward with courage, deeply rooted in our human strengths.

🌀If you or your organisation have been grappling with how to approach the pace of technological change, and want to approach it from a uniquely human perspective:

🍃After re-reading Megan Reitz’s Permission to Pause report (https://lnkd.in/en4tucqD), this quote keeps jumping out at me:

“Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it.” ~ Winnie the Pooh

🍃 There must be another way.

This has been a key point of reference as I work with teams to facilitate moments of reflection:

🌀 To reflect on their own journey
🌀 Their own human experiences and capabilities
🌀 Their unique skills

🍃 With so much immersion and information around AI, our ability to adapt is often compared to the pace of technology, instead of a human pace.

🍃 And not only the pace, but to embrace and include in our adaption all the capabilities only humans have - integrity, compassion, connection.

🍃 This requires moments to pause, to remember who we are, what skills we have and what skills we want to learn, and ultimately how we want to show up in this world.

🍃 Not because we feel we should keep bumping along, but because we feel empowered enough to stop for a moment and explore our own way.
