Christmas Eve🎄

It’s funny how Christmas changes as you and your life evolve. For my family, there’s no more excitement for Santa and listening out for reindeer. Instead, there’s a sense of playfulness and a joy at being all together as the kids come home.

There’s a poignant nostalgia to our rituals that’s comforting and feels deeper than before. It’s also the first Christmas without my Mum, so there’s moments of sadness and a soft background grief.

Tomorrow, in the middle of it all, try this:

The Spotlight: Choose one thing to focus on. Your breath. The sensations in your feet. Just for a moment, come back to right now.

That's the gift you can give yourself this Christmas - presence. The chance to actually be here for the moments that matter.

Research shows that 48% of the time, our mind isn't where our body is. And it makes us unhappy.. Presence really is the best present of them all.

No matter what your version of Christmas looks like, I hope you find peace, calm, and joy. You deserve it.

Wishing you a magical Christmas Eve 💛

As I write the caption for this video, there’s a little robin sat outside my window. I’d like to think that’s my Mum come to say hello.

Today’s run was hard! My mind was having a good old strop about it. But I know it’s so powerful to go to this edge and get through. Yesterday I didn’t have it in me to run at all so I delayed it for a day.

When I thought about what I needed to do yesterday (including that run), I had suddenly become aware of grief that was keeping me numb. So yesterday was about making space to feel some of that. It wasn’t dramatic but it showed in my external world as me being unable to get things done.

Today, after making space for that, I woke up with more to give. I feel sad that my Mum was never able to love her body and care for it. When I want to quit, I remember her and her final years. I’ll do it for her when I struggle to find it for myself.

If grief has a place at your table this Christmas, can you open your arms and allow it? In the word of the Sufi mystic poet Rumi:

“This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.”

Much love to you on this Christmas Eve Eve!

The antidote to Christmas perfection? Mindfulness. 💫

When my kids were tiny, I told them fairies decorated our tree because I couldn't bear the wonky, lopsided mess they created. I wanted it to look perfect.

Now? I miss those imperfect trees.

The pressure to make Christmas "perfect" sucks all the joy from it. The delightful table setting, ideal gifts, outstanding food... suddenly it's all hard work and impossible to achieve.

Here's what actually creates joy… 💛

Swipe through for 4 ways to shift from chasing perfection to being truly present this festive season.

This year, give yourself permission to let go of perfect and embrace the beautifully messy, imperfect moments that make Christmas real. 🎄

What's one way you're letting go of perfection this Christmas?

Amidst the hedgehog rescuing and Christmas preparations, I’m endeavouring to find time to check in with myself/ the whirlwind of thi time of year makes it tricky to pause. It feels like there’s not time..:but the power of the pause is not in how long it is. The very act of checking in is shown to shift your nervous system state. Will it be a game changer in the moment? Probably not. But cumulatively? Those mini check ins make a big difference to your total stress load and how well you can recover.

So quick check in now…how’s your breath?

You're running on empty. Peak holiday stress. Everyone needs something from you. 💫

Here's what nobody tells you: Your worth is not measured by your output.

I know you feel guilty even thinking about rest. Like if you stop, everything will fall apart. But rest isn't something you have to earn.

Someone offers to help and you say "Oh no, I'm fine!" even though you're not fine. Why do we do this?

You have full permission to rest and receive the good things already here.

Save this for when you need the reminder that receiving isn't selfish.

What's one small moment of joy you're prioritising this week? 👇

You're running on empty, aren't you?

Peak holiday stress. The final countdown. Everyone needs something from you and you're giving, giving, giving until there's nothing left.

Here's what nobody tells you: Your worth is not measured by your output.

I know you feel guilty even thinking about rest. Like if you stop, everything will fall apart. Like rest is something you have to earn after you've done enough.

But enough is a moving target that you'll never reach. There's always one more thing.

Last week someone offered to help me and my instant response was "Oh no, I'm fine!" Even though I wasn't fine. Even though I desperately needed help. Why do we do this to ourselves?

You have full permission to rest and receive the good things already here.

Rest isn't weakness. Receiving isn't selfish. You don't have to reciprocate immediately. You don't have to prove you deserve care.

This week's affirmation: "I prioritise rest, and I deserve to receive."

When was the last time you truly received help without immediately trying to give back? 👇

Something special is here waiting for you... ✨

Alongside my therapy and coaching work, did you know I also offer Angelic Reiki - powerful energy healing to support your transformation at the deepest level.

Available as in-person sessions (and distance healing too)

In my own journey, I've always combined deep inner work with supportive healing practices. Sometimes the experiences we carry need more than new thinking and processes. We need to physically move them through our body and have support to truly heal and let go.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, and what we need changes over time. Healing always happens when it's ready - and in many different forms.

This beautiful modality helps you move beyond your beliefs and access healing that goes deeper than words.

Be. Members receive a special discounted rate 💛

70 minute session just £75 with detailed follow up notes in the Be.with Laura app in your private portal. Also included supportive follow up meditations.
be Members receive a discount so a session is just £60

This might be just what you need this festive season. Gift yourself this time to feel truly ready and present.

You're performing so hard. The perfect host. The tireless shopper. The one who makes it all happen. 🎄

But in all that doing, when did you last actually stop and notice what's really happening?

The magic isn't waiting at the finish line. It's in the messy middle - the spontaneous giggles, the smell of cinnamon, the way the lights look when you finally sit down.

What if being present was more important than being perfect?

Save this and come back when you need the reminder that this moment - right now - is actually the gift.

What simple moment of beauty did you notice today? 👇

Sometimes in the build up to Christmas it can all feel overwhelming.

Partly that's the desire to create the perfect experience. A sense that I need to make everyone else happy. I've got better at noticing that tendency and I try to embrace imperfectly perfect.

It's also from the pressure of trying to fit in "fun" - the social merry-go-round of parties, gatherings, and endless commitments that leave you exhausted rather than joyful.

The magic isn't in doing it all. It's in choosing quality over quantity.

The intimate moments. The real conversations. The traditions that actually matter to you, not the ones you think you "should" do.

What do you do to create special Christmas moments?

Can you just breathe and know that the good times don't have to be perfect to be precious?🎄
