Imagine being the main character in your life.

What would it feel like to write chapters worth reading where you have the courage to go after what you want, take risks, make mistakes and create a life that is meaningful to you.

This episode dives into spotting when you’ve outgrown your current story.

We talk about how the inherited roles (the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the family caretaker), outdated beliefs, and old identity scripts continue to run the show in the background and shape your choices.

And why changing your story can bring back a sense of freedom, joy and aliveness.

If you catch yourself saying “I should be happy,” “This is just who I am,” or “It’s too late to change,” this episode will challenge those beliefs and invite you to start rewriting your life from the inside out.

This isn't about burning your life down, it’s about helping you to release the roles that drain you, remember who you really are beneath the stories, and take back the role of author in your life.

This episodes is perfect for anyone navigating midlife, switching careers, going through a spiritual shift, or just ready to live life in way that nourishes you.

My offerings are designed to support you in re-orienting to your path and finding direction in times of change, transition and profound growth in life and/or business.

There are moments in life where you are being asked to grow and evolve, and there is no going back to the way things were. Some thresholds you chose and others are chosen for you.

When these initiatory moments are honored and witnessed they have the power to reshape you. It become much more than healing, it’s a portal to reclaiming your power, soul, and sovereignty.

They bring you deeper into communion with who you are and what matters most to you. You are asked to lay down patterns and identities you have held close; redefine your values, priorities and desires; and get clear on the foundations on which you build you life.

Imagine what could emerge from beneath all the conditioning, the ancestral burdens, the roles you were told to play and the stories you’ve outgrown.

What’s waiting for you to claim it…your voice, your confidence, your creativity, your souls expression?

If you’re ready to navigate the deep seasons of life and not bypass them, my offerings are here to hold you.

I offer 1:1 support and group programs, shamanic ceremonies, bespoke rites of becoming, retreats and nature-based experiences for women navigating life transformations.

A balance of inner alchemy with grounded, structured support so you’re not just processing, but actually moving forward in life.

If you’ve ever felt tied to an old identity even when it no longer fits, you’re not alone. This is your permission slip to rewrite the script.

The stories that carried you through your 20s and 30s, the ones built around proving yourself, keeping the peace, achieving more, or pleasing others often start to feel hollow in your 40s.

There comes a point when they no longer fit.

When you feel that pinch, that’s your invitation to evolve, shift and redefine who you are and what you want from life.

I know the feeling…

In 2008, I was living someone else’s story. I had the ‘good’ job…an accountant, a pensionable path, a secure future.

But I was drained, disconnected and going through the motions. I was living my own personal groundhog day. I remember thinking ‘there has to be more to life than this’.

I was doing what was expected of me, not what nourished me.

It wasn’t until I gave myself permission to become the main character in my life that things changed. That leap led to the beginning of the Thirsty Soul.

You don’t need to burn your whole life down. But you do need to stop letting outdated stories decide who you’re allowed to be.

What’s the story you’re telling yourself… the one you don’t realise is running the whole show?

It’s time to challenge and change it.

You have the power to rewrite your story, to break free from the constraints of the past and choose who you are becoming.

Imagine living a story that feels like you, that is aligned to your values and desires.

This is the invitation held within Reweaving Your Stories.

A one-day shamanic ceremony of ritual, soul-led inquiry, and shamanic practices for women ready to stop living by old roles, outdated expectations, or inherited stories and begin living life from your heart and soul.

Guided by our plant ally Blue Lotus, the energy of Snake and the Spirit of Fire we’ll move through a sacred journey of release, renewal, and reimagining of your stories.

📅 Sat 26th July
⏲️ 10.00am - 1.00pm
📍Ballygortagh, Summerhill, Co. Meath A83 RC65 (35 mins from Dublin)

If you’re ready to stop living by someone else’s script, join us.

Ever had a strong reaction to something… before you even knew why?

During our Solstice ‘Burn Bright’ ceremony there were many beautiful reflections and a-ha moments.

One that really landed out was someone sharing ‘I realise I need to pause when I have a strong reaction to something and ask why.. what’s going on here?'

We were working with archetypes, and it was so interesting to witness how quickly we project onto them... deciding we don’t ‘like’ a certain energy before we even get to know it.

Instead of meeting it with fresh eyes, we judge it based on our past experiences… the wounds and stories we unconsciously carry.

We place expectations, definitions, limitations on the archetype before it can reveal what it’s really here to offer…

Before it can show us the resources and medicine it carries for where we are on our path.

But when we meet the archetype with curiousity and lay aside our assumptions, even for a moment… a shift can happen.

It moves from ‘I don’t like it.'

To ‘what's the invitation in this energy?’

Then finally if we’re willing to drop into it… it can become ‘ah, I feel it’s inviting me to be more playful, joyful, open… to leap.'

That’s the beauty of this work. It moves from ‘thinking’ to ‘feeling’.. into embodiment.

The medicine isn’t always comfortable at first. It’s not always what we want to see or hear.

But if we stay curious and open, something unexpected often wants to come through.

Not what the 'ego' thinks we need but what the soul truly needs to move forward.

So what have you been resisting lately and what invitation might be hidden inside?

If you’re ready to honor your journey, celebrate your gifts and anchor into gratitude…comment ‘LUNASA’ and I’ll send you the details for our next ceremony.

You say you want expansion, aliveness, more vitality and sovereign power… but are you actually afraid of what that might ask of you?

The Summer Solstice is a mirror that shows you where you're still holding back, afraid to be seen, hesitant to step into your power.

In this week’s episode of The Thirsty Soul podcast, I explore:
- Why expansion brings fear, resistance, and inner conflict
- How the Solstice highlights the gap between what you say you want and what you’re actually doing
-The difference between Summer rest and Winter rest and why you need both
- What it really means to reclaim your power without waiting to feel “ready”

The energies of Summer Solstice are here to support you into becoming more fully alive so you’re not just going through the motions.

Are you ready to honour the growth you’ve already lived, and trust the light within you.

Perfect for anyone who desires to move from beyond insight into aligned, embodied change with the guidance of the Summer Solstice.

Are you ready to cross that threshold?

06/06/2025

I remember the Summer Solstice of 2018, thinking ‘This is what it feels to be in full bloom’.

To be fully alive, aligned, and enjoying the life I had worked so hard to build. Everything felt expansive.

And at the same time a little voice within whispered: “This won’t last forever.”

I didn’t listen because let’s be honest expansion is intoxicating.

I thought I was in pure flow but I wasn’t just burning bright… I was burning out.

I see this in so many women who I work with. They share that life looks “good” on the outside but inside, something feels off. They’re spinning all the plates, holding it all together, whilst losing their sense of self…

They're not only exhausted but their light is dimmed, their inner knowing on pause and their desires are sitting in the back seat.

The Summer Solstice isn’t just about light, celebration, and growth.

It’s about illumination… what the light reveals.

And sometimes it shows you:
- the exhaustion craving for support
- the pain behind the constant busyness
- the truth you’ve been too busy to hear
- the parts of yourself you’ve hidden

This Summer Solstice threshold isn’t not about growth for the sake of growth. It’s about seeing where you’ve been overlooking your own soul needs and desires.

Are you ready to Burn Bright without burning out?

If your soul’s been whispering… If you know you’re burning out from being the ‘strong’ and ‘capable’ one, this is your permission to stop, soften, and reconnect to the fire that truly feeds you....Your soul light.

This is your invitation. Join us for Burn Bright, a Summer Solstice Ceremony for clarity, reconnection, and soul alignment.

“I don’t polish,” he said.

It was back in my accountancy days, I had booked a massage because my body felt tight and heavy…like it was holding feelings I hadn’t found words for yet.

When he said “I don’t polish”, I laughed as I wasn’t looking for a pampering.

I didn’t want to leave looking refreshed and shiny but still feeling tense.

I wanted something that worked deeper, that could move what I couldn’t name…that would help me feel more spacious and clear.

I wasn’t looking for relief that was surface level.

There are times when we need a polish and times we need something else. One is not better than the other..knowing what you need… that’s the key.

And that’s the core of the work I offer now... Not a quick polish that fades after a few hours but a deep energetic shift… that is done gently and at a pace that doesn’t overwhelm your nervous system.

Theses sessions clear the unseen and unnamed weight that often restricts our vitality but also reconnects you to your Soul and to your path forward.

Shamanic clearing are for those times when:
-you’re tired of holding energy that isn’t yours,
- you feel like you're going around in a loop
- you want your inner and outer to match
- you can’t name what’s in your way but you can feel it stifling you

This is the medicine that shifts things at the root.

As we step through the threshold of Bealtaine, this episode invites you to explore what it means to blossom.

To allow yourself open to and with life.

To let yourself meet life with pleasure and your desire with courage.

Together, we walk through these fertile energies of Bealtaine and ask:
🦊What gets in the way of your joy.
🦊What stories still whisper that your desires are too much?
🦊Whose voice taught you to shrink, dim, or wait.

We speak to the fear of letting the light in. Where the urge to stay small, to stay safe or to not step forward into what your soul is ready for.

And we remember that blossoming is never about being in the “right season” but allowing yourself to receive life exactly as you are.

This episode is a fiery call home to the body, to joy, to the aliveness that has been waiting for you to claim it.

May it awaken something in you and may you risk reaching out towards the sun in your growth.

I'd love to know what land and the area of life where you’re ready to take a risk and experience growth.

Oh sweet Bealtaine, you are a welcome balm as we cross the threshold into the brighter half of the year.

Let your senses lead the way.

Drink in the sun on your skin and warm your being into life. Let it replenish the parts of you that are weary.

Indulge in the sweet pleasures of nature and find the magic in everyday moments from the touch of your feet on the earth, to the soft scent of the blossoming flowers.

Taste life, take in all in. Dance with the growing light. Dig your fingers into the earth. Listen to the rhythmic bird song. Let your wild self be fed.

'Come out. Come out. Come out and blossom' whispers nature. 'Take a risk, a leap of faith, stretch your arms out towards life.'

Between now and Summer Solstice consider what you wish to make manifest and take the action. Without the action, it will only ever be a dream.

Many blessings on Bealtaine. 🔥

24/04/2025

One of my clients wanted to reclaim her fire - passion, desire, joy, creativity. The aliveness and vibrancy that was dormant within her.

She knew she could no longer ignore it as she moved deeper through midlife. The call was getting louder.

These energies were no longer content to stay buried, they were calling to be embodied.

She shared ‘These are adult qualities and they’re hard to live’

I smiled and let the words sit there. Then reflected back to her ‘what if passion, creativity, joy, desire and pleasure are the realm of the inner child?’

Our inner child knows how to whittle hours away following her excitement, to dance without care, to follow what lights up her heart, to get lost in play, creativity and delight.

Our inner child naturally follows it’s inner fire of passion, joy, pleasure and creativity without guilt or shame.

But often, overtime the child within learns to dampen the fire, suppress it or make it palatable.

She learns that joy must be earned, that pleasure is indulgent and play… well play is childish. She learns to be ‘practical’ and take things seriously.

By the time midlife arrives the anger and rage that have kept the fire embers from glowing becomes too much to hold in.

The fire wants to rise… the joy child wants to be reclaimed.

What are the gifts your inner joy child wants to share with you?

Join my Bealtaine shamanic ceremony to reunite with your inner joy child. Journey with the medicine of Hawthorn to reclaim the part that knows how to live with aliveness, joy, passion and creativity. Who knows how to bring magic into everyday moments.

Your joy child is waiting.... Will you answer?
