I’ve been pretty quiet on here for the last three weeks.
And honestly… I needed it.
I spend so much of my life online, thinking, posting, supporting, replying, planning… and Christmas felt like the perfect time to step back, detox a bit, and actually be present with myself and my family.
I always tell teachers and clients to slow down, protect their nervous system, create boundaries, and not just “push through”.
So it would have been pretty hypocritical of me to ignore my own advice.
2025 was my best year since leaving teaching.
But it was also tough.
I worked incredibly hard.
In many ways, harder than when I was actually in school.
And even when it’s meaningful work, it still takes a toll.
So this year I’m being honest with myself.
I’m looking for more balance.
Less constant noise.
Less pressure to always be “on”.
More intentional content, and more systems to support me behind the scenes rather than me carrying everything.
One thing I am incredibly grateful for is my clients.
Last year they made huge progress — calmer nervous systems, stronger boundaries, clearer direction, rediscovering who they are beyond the job. Watching them thrive has been humbling and reminds me every day why I do this.
If anything, the last few weeks have reinforced something important for me:
You can care deeply about the work you do
You can love helping people
You can be passionate about your mission
… and still need space, rest and a nervous system that feels safe.
I’m back.
Grounded.
Refreshed.
And excited for what’s ahead 💛
