🌜Learning to Soften, Not Strive- 🌛
Living with OCD…
Last weekend, under the full moon, I felt the shifts in my body and mind deeply.
I love following the lunar cycles, but if I’m honest, sometimes it’s hard to stay connected when it feels like there’s an angel and a devil in my brain both shouting different things. That’s what living with OCD can feel like — constant noise, constant negotiation with myself. Some days, I flow. Others, I freeze. And I’m finally learning… that’s okay. 💛
For a long time, I believed struggling meant I wasn’t trying hard enough. I’d push myself into strict routines, add more “healthy habits,” and pile pressure on top of pressure. But over time, I’ve realised that when my OCD is the loudest, it’s usually my body saying: you’re burnt out, you need rest.
When I first started exploring natural healing and hormone health, I wanted to do everything perfectly. I changed so much at once, but I lost myself in the process. Learning about toxins, food, and routines made me hyperaware, and honestly… scared. Things that motivate other people would sometimes trigger me — pushing me into analysis paralysis, looping thoughts, and self-doubt.
But I’ve been teaching myself to soften.
To take the reins off.
To let go of needing everything to be “pure” or “perfect.”
That’s looked like loosening my grip on only buying non-toxic brands, allowing myself balance and choice,connecting with nature when I can’t connect with my true self, spending time with family, where I don’t have to mask, moving my body & connecting with my breath, and reminding myself that I’m in control — not my OCD.
None of it is perfect. And that’s the point. 🌙
I’ve given myself permission to:
✨ Sit with discomfort instead of controlling it
✨ Let intrusive thoughts pass without defining me
✨ Enjoy imperfect moments without guilt
✨ Move my body, rest my mind, and create space for stillness
And this is exactly why I create my bespoke healing plans. Because I know how overwhelming it can feel to figure all of this out alone. Healing isn’t about being “fixed” or following strict routines that make you feel trapped. It’s about understanding yourself — your triggers, your sensitivities, and your cycles — and working with your body and mind instead of against them.
I design each plan to be as individual as the person I’m working with. It’s about gentle, sustainable steps, meeting you where you are right now, and giving you the tools to create more calm — without the pressure to do it all at once.
If you’re living with OCD, intrusive thoughts, or feeling stuck in cycles that feel hard to break, you are not failing. You are learning. You are adapting. And you deserve compassion, understanding, and space to breathe. 🌿
