I'm so happy I got to return to WellFest this year.

Last year I was there pregnant, and this year I was there with a five-month-old baby, marking my return to work after maternity leave. It felt incredibly special.

The crowd was so lovely. So engaged. So open. I had so many people come up to speak to me afterwards, sharing kind words and saying they felt truly seen by the collective message they received.

Some people stumbled across the talk, others came because they knew me, but I really believe everyone there heard exactly what they needed to hear.

I’m so happy and proud to have been part of such a wonderful event, celebrating WellFest’s 10-year anniversary. The atmosphere was magical and electric, and I hope I get to do it all over again soon.

I love hosting talks. I love seeing the moment the realisation lands. The nods of recognition. The tears brimming in people’s eyes. The feeling of people remembering something within themselves.

I really love what I do, and I’m so grateful to have been part of such a special line-up of Ireland’s incredible wellness talent.

You’re comparing your chapter two to somebody else’s chapter twelve.

They’re further along, they have more resources, more support, they’re in a completely different position to you. And all of a sudden, you feel like you should be operating at that level too.

But you’re not there yet.

And that doesn’t mean you’re failing. It just means you’re in a different part of your journey.

I catch myself on this sometimes. That feeling of comparison, of envy, of thinking I should be further ahead. But when you actually sit with it, that feeling is usually showing you something deeper. It’s pointing you towards what you want, not what you’re lacking.

You don’t need to rush to get there. You don’t need to skip steps. Everything you’re building right now is laying the foundation for where you’re going.

There are so many people who feel like this but don’t talk about it.

If this resonates, we go deeper into this conversation in my latest podcast episode with Hannah O’Neill, where we talk about self-trust, comparison, building a business, and navigating the reality of stepping into your path.

It’s so important to support small businesses. To support local. To support women who are building something from nothing 🙏

I put a comment box up recently... "what would you do if fear was not an option?". So many women messaged about studying, starting a business, changing career, speaking on stage, bringing ideas to life.

Every business you admire, every female-led brand you see doing well now… it started small. In a bedroom, a box room, late nights after work. Packing orders alone. Figuring things out as they went. Taking a chance on an idea that maybe felt uncertain at the time.

Everyone starts at the beginning. Everyone starts at the bottom.

And I see so many women who want to start… but feel scared. Scared to tell their partner. Worried what their friends might think. Unsure if they’ll be accepted for doing something different, or choosing a path that isn’t what’s expected of them.

That’s why support matters so much.

It doesn’t have to be big. It can be buying from them, even as a gift. Sharing their work. Showing up to their event. Listening to their podcast. Recommending them. Encouraging them.

Because behind every small business is a person backing themselves, taking a risk, and putting their heart into it.

And we need more of that. More support. More encouragement.

I’m so excited to be part of this year’s lineup for the 10th anniversary of WellFest, Europe’s largest outdoor wellness festival 🤍

I feel genuinely honoured to be speaking on the WellMind stage alongside such incredible voices, with .ie speaking before me and straight after. It’s an amazing lineup to be part of, so I better bring my A-Game 🤭

Being back this year feels really special. Last year was such a beautiful experience for me.
I was pregnant at the time and hadn’t shared it yet, so standing on that stage with my little boy in my belly is a moment I’ll always hold onto.

And now this year… I’m returning as a new mum! Coming back from maternity leave, stepping back onto the stage, and back into what I love. It feels like such a full-circle moment.

I’m really, really grateful to be part of it again 🎪

Cannot wait to meet everyone and soak up the collective magic 🥹 Thank you to the amazing team who work ridiculously hard to bring this amazing weekend to us yearly.

I have first-hand experience of big event projects, and I know how much effort goes in behind the scenes. You are all wonderful!

Limited number of Day Tickets left. Do not miss this, or you will have serious FOMO.

There are moments in life where everything looks fine on the outside, but something inside you just feels off.

You might call it confusion, feeling lost, or even a midlife crisis. But a lot of the time, it is something much deeper than that.

It is your soul trying to get your attention.

It is that quiet voice within you asking for more. More alignment. More truth. More of what actually feels right for you.

And it does not always come in a big, dramatic way. Sometimes it is just a small moment. A thought in the middle of an ordinary day. A feeling that you cannot ignore anymore.

The life you built might no longer feel like it fits, and that can be uncomfortable to admit, especially when you have worked so hard to get there.

But it is okay to change. It is okay to want something different. It is okay to realise that what you once thought you wanted is no longer aligned with who you are becoming.

Your purpose is not always about your career. Sometimes it is about how you live, how you feel, what brings you joy, and what you are being called towards in this season of your life.

You are not behind. You are not lost. You are being redirected.

And sometimes all it takes is one moment of honesty with yourself to change everything.

Everyone thinks confidence means not being nervous.

But the truth is, the nerves never really go away. You just learn how to see them differently.

What Hannah says here is so important. The nerves aren’t a sign to stop. They’re a sign that something matters to you.

We put so much pressure on ourselves to get everything right, to be perfect, to say the right thing, to look a certain way.

But that pressure is what holds so many people back.

When you strip it all back, it’s not about being perfect. It’s about showing up, being human, and allowing yourself to enjoy the process.

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start.

Becoming a parent, or even just growing into yourself, has a way of bringing everything back to the surface.

The parts of you that felt safe and the parts of you that didn’t. The thoughts you didn’t question before and the patterns you thought you had already healed.

And suddenly you notice it.

The way you speak to yourself. The fears that still sit quietly underneath. The part of you that is still bracing for something to go wrong.

Not because you’re broken, but because a part of you learned to feel that way a long time ago.

Healing isn’t somewhere you arrive and stay. It’s something you meet yourself in, over and over again.

Gently, honestly, and without judgment.

And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is simply notice it and choose differently.

That is where the shift begins. Listen now on ALIGNED | The Path to Purpose Podcast.

Not all trauma looks the way you think it does.

It is not always the big, obvious moments. Sometimes it is the quiet, subtle experiences that stay with you without you even realising it.

A comment that lingered. Feeling left out. Being compared to someone else. Feeling like you had to be a certain version of yourself to be loved or accepted.

And then you grow up, and those moments are still there, shaping the way you think, feel and show up in your life.

They can influence your relationships, your self-worth, your reactions and the way you see yourself, even when you cannot quite understand why.

This is what we mean when we talk about the smaller, less obvious forms of trauma. They might seem insignificant at the time, but they can leave a lasting imprint.

The moment you begin to understand where these patterns come from is the moment things can start to shift.

This is where awareness begins, and where real change becomes possible.

This is how cycles are broken.

Weekly Book Chat 📖

This week’s listen was The Universe Has Your Back by Gabrielle Bernstein and it felt like a gentle pep talk I didn’t know I needed.

I listened to this one during walks, feeds, and quiet moments and it kept reminding me that fear usually just shows up when we forget we’re supported. Not because something’s gone wrong. Just because we’ve slipped out of trust for a minute.

What I loved most was how simple it felt. You don’t need everything figured out. You don’t need proof before you trust. Sometimes it’s just about softening, taking the pressure off, and choosing love again in really ordinary moments.

It felt grounding, reassuring, and very “you’re doing better than you think.”

If life feels a bit uncertain or you’re in a slower chapter, this one’s a lovely listen 🤍
