I thought this would feel easy.

Just me, a van, no plans… space.

But it actually took a while to unwind.

I could feel how used I am to thinking about everyone else… what needs doing, what’s next, who needs what.

Even being on my own, making every decision just for me… felt unfamiliar at first.

And that’s when it really hit me.

How “on” we are as women… all the time.

Not just busy… but mentally carrying everything.

It took time… but eventually my body started to soften.

And that feeling… is what so many women are missing.

Not a break.

A genuine switch off ✨

I’m curious, can you relate to this ? 👇

Something I love to do is go to things on my own. I get to choose what I want.

The nelson yoga festival was perfect for this. Following what my body wanted, pivoting when a few classes were too full for me to join, the quiet in my mind to observe my thoughts more. Bliss 🩵

As a busy woman - mum, solo mum half the time, business owner, I know the juggle is real.
Sometimes doing things solo, it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself.

You’re not just tired… you’re overstimulated 🤍

For so many women, life has become constant noise, constant demands, and no real space to reset.

Even a small moment of calm like this can make a difference.

And if getting away isn’t always possible…
that’s exactly why I created Calm Within the Chaos.

Simple tools to help you reset your nervous system in real life.

Over the next week we will proudly introduce our 2026 PechaKucha presenters.

Our first introduction is for Noreen Macdonald. Noreen is a clinical hypnotherapist and health coach whose passion is helping people navigate life and realise they have the ability to create it in a way that truly feels right for them. She’s always been deeply curious about people and about life itself — what it means to live fully, to question things, and to explore beyond the obvious.

You can find Noreen at her business, the Natural Living Studio. Noreen also features in the latest issue of the Nelson Magazine (link in comments). Thanks for taking the stage Noreen!

If you’re feeling more exhausted after the school holidays than before… you’re not alone 🤍

The constant noise
The planning
The juggling
The mental load of everyone else

It adds up.

So many women I see aren’t just “tired”…
their nervous system hasn’t had a moment to properly reset.

That feeling of overwhelm isn’t a failure — it’s a signal.

As school goes back, this is your chance to come back to yourself too.

If you’re needing support with that, my Calm Within the Chaos course is there for you 🤍

Simple, practical tools you can actually use in real life.

The key is, capturing the worrying thought and stopping it in its tracks instead of it leading you down a pathway of rumination that can go on for a long time !

You could choose to see a stop sign in your mind and then replace the thought or ask a question like what else is possible ?

This reset’s the search bar in your mind and it also says to the universe that you are open to something else ✨

Rolled my ankle yesterday while having a beautiful tramp.
Actually thought I may have broken it as I heard something and then felt like I was going to throw up and started crying.

That was the shock part.

It’s not broken thankfully and this is what I’ve been doing for it over the last 24 hours:

RICE - rest, ice, compression, elevation.
🩵Arnica - homeopathic for bruising, swelling and shock.
Day 2 - Rhus Tox homeopathic for ligaments.
🩵Rescue Remedy - shock
🩵Traumeel (homeopathic) cream
🩵Deep Blue essential oil cream
🩵Painkillers to sleep last night
🩵Epsom salt and lavender bath to help whole body soreness from the fall.
🩵Supplements - joint support (turmeric, glucosamine, condroiten, Boswellia), EP/DHA and GLA for inflammation, magnesium for muscles, collagen .

it was surprising the amount of vulnerability I felt this morning so I allowed myself to hold myself and cry to some beautiful music and release the stress and shock of it all.

Asking for help and receiving it !

I’ve also used my Bioresonance machine for it and done a lot of Reiki and talking to my body !
