Bits and pieces, thoughts that I carry with me from my holiday.

While I was away, a few ideas kept circling in my mind. One of them was freedom, what is freedom, and how does it truly live inside me?

I realised I experienced a certain kind of freedom I hadn’t felt in a very long time. What surprised me was that I didn’t feel unfree before. But when I felt this new expansion of freedom, it struck me deeply.

So often, when we introduce ourselves, we lead with the work we do or the titles we hold. We become the “human doing.” In daily life, we wear our uniforms, carry our titles, and fit into boxes, roles we serve for the people around us.

During my holiday, I started letting go of those roles, slowly shedding the layers… even wrestling with releasing my “image.” And in doing so, I became free to be just Saara, and that was enough. Just Saara: the soul inside this human body, living the human experience.

Living as “just Saara” for a few weeks allowed me to truly be in the present moment, to connect authentically without purpose or role, just simply being.
It challenged me to live more through my body and less in my mind. That wasn’t always easy. Oh, how my old patterns and blueprints tried to creep back in. But that was the real practice: to keep following my heart and staying with the purity of the moment.

Welcoming this freedom into my life has only opened and expanded my heart even more. Now, I’m excited to explore how I can keep inviting that same freedom into my everyday life, even in the middle of the daily grind.

I want to share something personal.

A few years ago, I had my heart broken. That breakup became one of the greatest turning points of my life. It marked the beginning of a journey back to myself.

At first, I held tightly to the story of being the victim in that relationship. I focused on how he had wronged me, how he was the villain in the story. But eventually, something shifted. I’m not here to justify his behavior, but to take responsibility for my own. It takes two to tango, and I see that now.

I used to wonder why I always got attached to emotionally avoidant people. What I’ve come to realize is that I was only capable of loving and connecting in ways that mirrored my own emotional patterns. I was abandoning myself. In doing so, I attracted intimacy that validated that inner experience. I was emotionally avoidant with both myself and others.

My nervous system didn’t know how to handle safe, nurturing love. It felt more at home in unsafe connections, because being on alert all the time was what I knew. So stay with me here: What if it was never really about him? What if he came into my life to show me the places where I was abandoning myself? Where I was avoiding true emotional connection?

It’s easy to look outside ourselves for answers, to slip into the role of the victim. The real challenge is to take responsibility for ourselves, our lives, and our happiness. To see our experiences as mirrors, and to remain open to growth.

I hope you don’t have to go through a painful heartbreak to learn these lessons. But years after mine, I can honestly say I’m grateful for him, the relationship, the heartbreak, and even the pain.

Because all of it gave me the spark I needed to begin the journey back to my own heart. To see where I had been shutting myself off from true connection, and to begin breaking down the walls I’d built around it.

Many of us have learned to survive by fighting, running, or hiding. Vulnerability and connection can feel terrifying when your nervous system isn’t used to them. But it’s worth it, to pause, take a deep breath, and let people in.

We’re here to love, to connect, and to enjoy life together.

Rejection hurts, but it’s not the end, it’s a redirection🌻

Whether it’s someone not returning your feelings, a job you didn’t get, an apartment that went to someone else, or a relationship that didn’t work out. Rejection stings. It can feel like your heart sinks, your hopes deflate, and you question your worth.

Feel the sadness. Let yourself grieve what didn’t happen. But then, gently remind yourself: Rejection is redirection.

A “no” creates space for a better “yes.”
That job you didn’t get? Maybe there’s something even more aligned on its way. That person who didn’t choose you? It clears the path for someone who will meet you fully.

When we become fixated on a specific outcome: the dream apartment, the perfect job, the relationship, we sometimes forget to let life flow. We try to control instead of trust.

Manifesting and dreaming are powerful. But the real magic happens when we let go of control and surrender to life. When we trust life.

You think you know what’s best for you… but life might just have something even better in store.

Next time you face rejection, take a breath, feel the feels and then remind yourself:

Rejection is redirection. Something better is already on its way. 🌷

Summer solstice marks the longest day of the year, the time of light. In Finland, like in other Nordic and Baltic countries, this season is celebrated with connection to nature, tradition, and something ancient in us all.

This time of year holds a certain kind of magic. A symbolism of stepping fully into the light, just before we slowly begin turning back toward the darker half of the year. It reminds us of the cycle of life, light and dark, beginning and end, expansion and rest.

Lately, one thing has been showing up for me: the reminder that I am not a project.

It’s so easy to jump on the healing train and keep chasing the next breakthrough, the next thing to “fix” in ourselves. Always working on what we think is wrong, always in pursuit of being better, more whole, more healed.

But the truth is , you are not broken. You are already whole.

We all have our patterns, our wounds, our history, but that doesn’t mean we are in need of constant repair. It means we’re human. And evolving.

So, this summer, I want to be more present. To experience what’s here now. To laugh and to connect. To remember that the life is happening right here, in this moment.

Wherever you are on your journey, I hope you take a breath and remember: you’re already whole. You’re already enough. And you’re already worthy of joy, connection, and rest. ♥️

Have you ever felt like you’re coming undone? Like the version of you that once fit so well suddenly feels distant, like your passions have dulled, your body feels unfamiliar, and life weighs heavier than it used to?

This spring has felt like that for me, a kind of cocoon phase. A quiet, confusing in-between. I’ve found myself sitting in the dark, questioning everything, doubting where I am and where I’m going.

It hasn’t been easy. This space has stirred up old fears and deep discomfort. But it’s also brought clarity, a soft whisper inviting change. It’s calling me into the unknown, asking me to be brave. And when I say brave, I don’t mean fearless. I mean terrified, but still choosing to move forward.

Because something beautiful lives on the other side of fear. Something real. When we allow ourselves to unravel, when we stop trying to hold it all together, we make space for transformation.

That sense of “not feeling like yourself”? It’s not failure. It’s growth. It’s the sacred mess before the metamorphosis. The cocoon before you become the butterfly.

You’re not breaking down. You’re breaking open.
We’re not meant to stay the same. Sometimes we need to let go of the identities, roles, and routines that once kept us safe, but now keep us stuck. It might feel chaotic, but what’s actually happening is alignment taking root.

Hardship isn’t punishment. It’s a call to pause, to reflect, and to make space for something new, something truer. It asks you to trust in the dark. To surrender your grip on what was, and allow what’s meant for you to unfold.

Yes, it’s uncomfortable. But the only way out is through.

And on the other side? Is the version of you you’ve been becoming all along.

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

Once I searched for the ‘perfect angle’ to hide what I didn’t love. Now, I realize the perfect angle is the one where I’m just… me. Some time ago, I wouldn’t have posted these photos. I would’ve zoomed in on my stomach rolls, the scars on my thighs, my broken skin and told myself I wasn’t beautiful. That I needed to hide those parts in order to be loved and accepted.

Why do I share them now?

Because I’m tired of shrinking myself. I’m tired of the quiet war so many women fight with their own bodies. The way we stand in front of mirrors, picking ourselves apart. The way we delete photos that aren’t “flattering.” The way we quietly sit out on life, skip the beach, avoid the dress, don’t take the picture, because we’re caught up in how we think we “should” look.

But your body is not a problem to solve. She’s your home. She’s been with you through every event of your life. Even when you’ve spoken to her with unkind words, she’s still shown up for you, every single day.

You came here to “live”. To dance and experience. To eat something delicious and let yourself enjoy it fully. To laugh so hard your belly aches.

So this summer, I’m choosing joy. I’m choosing real, messy, beautiful life. I’m choosing to show up in this body, EXACTLY as she is. I’m choosing to celebrate her.

And I hope you do too.

Imagine how much more energy we’d have if we stopped obsessing over how our bodies look, and started honoring how they feel. What if we moved, ate, and dressed from a place of joy instead of judgment?

I hope you look in the mirror and say, I love you. I hope you buy the damn bikini. Wear the bold dress. Go to the party. Go to the beach. Take the photo and see the light in your eyes instead of flaws on your skin.

Your body was never meant to be fixed or changed. She was meant to be lived in. Loved. Celebrated.

Let’s stop waiting. Let’s start living.

Happy Strawberry Full Moon 🌕🍓

A little life update: I’ve been intentionally quiet on here. While I usually love spring, being a Ta**us girl and all. This year felt different. It was deeply challenging. My energy was low, and I found myself moving through some heavy emotional waves that needed space. I even cried through most of my birthday, which was not the best.

But these tough moments come with invitations: be present with what arises. The only way out is through. Sometimes that means slowing down, taking space, asking for help from loved ones, and gently asking yourself “what is this trying to teach me and guide me?”

The end of spring brought a mix of so much: celebrating love and friendship, traveling, being kissed by the sun and ocean air, spending precious time with my whole family, and grieving the loss of our beloved family dog. It was also filled with beautiful new connections and the joy of watching my besties get married in Spain.

So much fit into this one season. As much as there was love and joy there was also grief and heaviness. And now, under this full moon, I feel the energy of release.

This spring has been teaching me to let go, to realign with what’s true, to return to myself, to look in the mirror and connect with my authentic being.

Sometimes we hold onto people, situations, or habits just because they feel familiar and safe, even if they no longer align with who we’re becoming. But real freedom begins when we dare to let go of the familiar and step into the unknown.

To sum it up, this spring felt like going through a portal, a wild roller coaster (the scary kind) that shook me to my core. But it also stripped away illusions and brought me face to face with what’s real. 

To truly grow, we sometimes need to energetically die in order to be reborn into a new version of ourselves.

What I mean by that is learning to let go of old versions of us to create space for who we’re becoming. You can look back with love and gratitude, but still allow yourself to move forward.

It’s about to get real, and by real, I mean beautifully messy, weird, and whimsical 🧚‍♀️

What she really needed… was a hug.

What do all these photos have in common — aside from the deep backbend yoga poses?

At first glance, you might just see flexibility and strength. But when I look at them now, I see something else entirely.

I see the pain behind the poses.
I see a woman pushing herself — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally.
I see someone trying so hard to be enough.

Those photos captured more than just movement; they held a story of survival.
Of forcing.
Of believing that if I just did more, pushed harder, trained longer… maybe then I’d be worthy of love.
Worthy of rest.
Worthy of simply being.

My practice back then wasn’t rooted in love. It was a way to escape — from emotions I didn’t want to feel, from a body I hadn’t yet made peace with, from a self I hadn’t fully accepted.

Looking back, I see someone exhausted. In pain. Hiding behind “doing,” terrified of what might surface in the stillness of simply being.

But now, I move differently.
Age, injury, and life have slowed me down — and what a gift that’s been.
I no longer have the energy to run from myself. And in that slowing, I’ve started to feel. To soften. To allow.

It’s a lifelong practice — to show up vulnerably, to be seen not for what I accomplish, but simply for who I am.

I’m grateful for every injury, every breakdown, every pause I was forced to take.
Because they taught me the most important thing: to stop running and start feeling.

Life isn’t a race.
It’s here.
Now.
In presence.

And as I look at these photos with new eyes, I don’t judge her anymore.
I wrap her in the hug she always needed.
And I whisper: You are enough. You can stop running.

🪩 Going out dancing on the first day of my bleed isn’t usually my style—but when a bestie (disco queen ) is throwing a Dirty Disco birthday party, there’s no choice but to get glam and hit the dance floor.

🪩 The good news? That first-day-of-bleed energy has a special kind of diva magic. I tapped into my inner disco diva while staying present with my body, embracing the rhythm without pushing past my limits.

💃🏼 More on how I navigated the night without overextending myself or crossing my boundaries—coming soon.
