Feeling cynical about something? Take a closer look.

Cynicism is one of the main symptoms for the criteria of burnout.

To be in a body is a very brave thing. Though healthcare likes to sell certainty, the truth is that bodies are always a little mysterious. They’re always in motion, adapting and compensating in ways we cannot always predict. There are certain times in our life- like puberty, perimenopause, illness, or aging- where we must reckon with this unstable ground. It can feel like the floor giving way beneath us, having to reckon with building a new body, and with it a new sense of self, while still navigating shifting sands.

I’m inspired every day by my clients, who make the brave choice to stay compassionately in and with their bodies as they navigate deep transformation. It’s a brave choice, you know, to choose to feel what you really feel, tending to the reality of your experience, as multi-faceted and misunderstood as it may be.

Being honest with yourself doesn’t always come easy, and it doesn’t always cost nothing, ‘cos you can’t unsee truth once you see it. Let’s be honest, sometimes the truth is a pain in the arse! Yet the profound thing about choosing to be honest with yourself is that, in doing so, you also unlock capacities you didn’t know you had. In making the compassionate choice to choose yourself, you’re already developing many of the skills to be able to handle whatever arises next.

To be in a body is a brave thing. You are brave, braver than you may think. One step at a time. I believe in you.

Poetry has taught me many things. It’s taught me how to hold ambiguity, complexity, and contradiction, and do so via an intentional praxis of care, nuance, and softness. If you’re moving too quickly you’ll miss it: poetry asks you to slow down and pay attention. In this way, language is a bridge and also a world: through grappling with words, we face the tensions between idea and experience, meaning and meaninglessness, form and chaos. This exercise in and of itself is fruitful.

I wouldn’t be the coach I am today without a poetry practice. It’s taught me so many skills for navigating my own life, as well as for helping others on their way. While it feels vulnerable to share some of my artistic practice here, it also feels important.

In this episode of the podcast, I read a poem to myself titled, “One Day I’ll Love You, Mickey Bourne” (Mickey Bourne is my artist name). It’s inspired by Ocean Vuong. I don’t want to say too much about the poem’s meaning, as when I wrote it I was a different person, but what I can say is what it means to me today: that it’s an exercise in turning towards myself with love, compassion, and openness, learning to hold the contradictions and multiplicities that live within me. I hope you enjoy it.

Getting political over here this week (which health has always been, ps). WHY are you doing Chaturanga, or biceps curls, or working on your ‘core’? These movements all have political histories.

I was in there like, “Oh sheet, I never been here before
I’ve never even seen this part of Pancake Town before”
It’s like you got this sheet reupholstered or some sheet
What the frock happened?
Who, who the frock got your pancake all reupholstered?
(*Regular practice, time, commitment, and effort* reupholstered my pancake)
Well, I gotta thank *regular practice, time, commitment and effort* then.

Today let’s talk ANATOMY.

I wrote this article a few years ago and I still get people reading it and reaching out to me. I recently shared it with a client who was having this issue so thought I’d share it again here. Read via my newsletter (link in bio- scroll back a bit though as it’s a bit old now).

Any questions I’m here for you.

For over 5 years I’ve been working with the gut microbiome, both in private practice and then managing clinical trials for a med tech company working at the intersection of the gut microbiome and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s. I’ve published articles on the topic, and in 2025 will be going to the Amazon, Brazil, as a selected artist-in-residence working at the intersection of art, the gut microbiome, and climate change. Needless to say, it’s a huge a passion of mine, scientifically, artistically, and politically.

At Cor Moves Healthcare, we offer advanced at-home gut microbiome testing, analysed by one of our international laboratory partners, for people in Australia, Europe and UK, to give you clear, science-backed insights into the state of your gut microbiome and what we can do to improve it.

If you’re dealing, or have dealt with burnout, you may be interested in this free webinar I’m hosting in a couple of days! It’ll be on Thursday April 10th at 2pm WEST/GMT time (for the Aussies and others who can’t make it, still sign-up, as the recording will be sent out afterwards to all registered attendees).

We’ll deep dive into functional medicine strategies to address burnout, and I’ll share how I work with my clients around burnout.

It’s important to recognise that burnout is both a physical and a mental health condition, and there’s no one-size-fits-all recovery process. It requires creating personalised strategies that fit your unique set of symptoms and needs.

Burnout recovery is the responsibility of the individual, the employer, and society at large. It’s our body’s way of trying to communicate to us that something isn’t working. While it may not seem like it while you’re in it, burnout can be a profound, life-changing opportunity to get clear on what you want, and move towards a greater vision for yourself.

Sign up via the link in my bio or reach out with any questions!

A recording will be sent out to all registered attendees afterwards.
