Self care can take many forms, its not just bubble baths and face masks. It's doing the things that benefit your life, even if they arent glamorous.

After a full week of running workshops and Friday's back to back reiki sessions, I was wiped out. I had given my all to the people who put their trust in me, to teach them and to help them. I love what I do and it is a huge privilege I dont take for granted.

Ways I practised self care last night and this morning:

- I ate my favourite food for dinner. Pancakes,yum.
- I went to bed at 7.30pm with my dogs and slept until 5.30am. Yay for oxytocin, serotonin and dopamine.
- I got up and tidied the kitchen so I have a clean space to exist in this weekend.
- I put my trainers on and went for a run in the frost and sunshine. I said good morning to the dogs and the birds. Heaven.

What ways can you practise self care? Actual self care?

Sleep, eat, move, connect and find glimmers.

Strength does not have to mean powering through, keeping calm and carrying on. It can mean being vulnerable and asking for help.

Today I felt like the worst person in the world, like I had let everyone down. People that I am supposed to protect. My mission in life is to empower others and make them feel like they matter. So today felt like a huge blow. I cried the whole journey home.

I called the husband on the way back and told him I needed to go for a walk with him and the girls. We went out, got fresh air, watched the girls splash around and came home. The funk was not shifting.

I decided to share with Anth how sad I was feeling. Not just regular sadness but to my core sadness. He was so sweet reminding me that I am not a bad person and the fact I felt awful about something out of my control showed that I am not a bad person.

He then asked me what I was going to do about it? What small thing could I do to change things? He gave me the space to wallow but then gave me the ladder to pull myself out of it.

Tomorrow, I am going to get back on my mission of making others feel like they matter. But tonight, Im going to allow someone to look after me, just for a bit longer.

Things that made me happy this week 😍

1. Flowers, all the beautiful flowers
2. The cuddles from my dogs were much needed this week
3. Family - I got to spend time with the humans I love
4. Celebrating one of the most important people in my life. Happy Birthday Owen!
5. Plants that I haven't killed!
6. Remembering that I am an adult and can make cookies whenever I want. Especially exciting ph***ic shaped ones
7. Spending time with the husband - it's rare we actually get to see to see each other atm with opposite work shifts. Every moment is precious.

Can you feel it in the air?

The whisper of Spring and the promise of lighter days.

This is your time to start to dream. What do you want? What do you really want? Not what the kids want or the husband or your boss or your parents or whoever. YOU. Yes you. WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I give you permission to dream big, small, sideways, upside down, back to front. However you want to dream. Just dream.

Spend a little time this weekend day dreaming. Fall into the land of endless possibilities. How can you make it a reality if you don't know what it is that YOU actually want.

Enjoy ❤️

❤

BTS - One of my happy places, my office.

I genuinely love what I do and I think my space reflects that. Always interesting to see people's desks, says a lot about a person (Im so nosy).

Ive noticed my plants are thriving this year and it feels more settled.

Genuinely cant believe sometimes that this is what I get to do with my life. Thank you to those that trust me with being able to see their lives. Its a privilege.

If life gets too much, remember, floor time is not just for babies.

We cannot be 100% productive all the time and why would we want to? Sometimes, you just need some time on the floor, in a blanket, reading a book, with a snoring puppy curled up on your belly.

Balance is key.

Nie and Madhu completed their Reiki Level 1 this weekend. Was an absolute pleasure to witness their first steps on this incredible journey. They are already such compassionate, insightful healers and this is only the beginning.

Well done guys, welcome to the family ❤️

What's one book that made you cry, smile, laugh, scream, punch the air, want to burn the patriarchy?

You know those pages turners, where you have to take a minute after finishing, and figure out how life is going to go on now the book is over.

Share them below, I need inspiration!!

What does healing really mean to you?
Is it fixing what’s broken… or remembering who you truly are?

In this new episode I got to sit down with Micky Watkins, Celestial Reiki Practitioner and for her sins, one of my soul sisters. This is easily one of the most fun and interesting episodes I've done as Micky is just fascinating.

We dive into:

• Energy healing & how it actually works
• Taking responsibility for your own healing
• Psychic mediumship & intuitive guidance
• Learning to trust yourself again
• Reclaiming your autonomy & personal power

This conversation goes deeper than surface level spirituality.

If you’re on a healing journey, exploring spirituality, or awakening to your intuition, this conversation will expand your perspective in ways you didn’t expect.

They say bad luck comes in 3's.

I've already had mine today. One involved a printer, the others a little more serious but on the same level of AHHHHHHHH.

Instead of getting stressed, angry and writing the day off, which would be pretty easy right now... Ive decided to sit in the sunniest spot in the office, like a cat, and readjust my attitude.

Its also pancake day, my 2nd favourite day of the year so thats a win right?

Catching up with my version of the news - the dawn chorus.

For 10 minutes this morning, I shut out the world and listened to what mattered to me the most.

There isn't much I can control right now and it feels like my body is purging hard. I've spent the last few days hermitting and will continue to do so until Monday.

I listened to the birds, enjoyed the sunshine (have not seen that in the sky for a while) and then got my hands muddy, tidying up some dead leaves and old twigs.

I actually feel a little better for it. Who knew nature was so healing?!
