I know these pictures seem super random but I think of this experience a lot and it reminds me of something I'm working through in my life right now... Showing up for people authentically and unconditionally.

We were on holiday and I know we were led to this cow pasture by something greater than us. We noticed that one of the cows was laying on its back and giving off an unsettling moan. We quickly realised she was stuck and wasn't able to get back up by herself.

At this point, there were a few cows grazing near her and one of the youngest ones came right up to the fence and looked at us as if to say "so you're not going to do anything?" (frame 2).

My heart sank and so many stories came flooding into my mind "what if we jump the fence?" "can we even push a cow back over?" "what if we get into trouble?" "what if, what if, what if!!!". The question paralysed us to the point where we just stood hopelessly watching the cow pass.

Moments before she took her last breath, all the cows slowly moved closer to her (frame 3). They stayed with her for a bit and when she let out her last moan, they all went back to grazing.

There are many lessons in this story...
- Surrendering to the flow of life = the cows moving with the knowingness that death is near
- Understanding the impermanence of life = the cows being able to go straight back to grazing after experiencing a death

The one lesson that resonates with me is 'doing the thing you know to do even when the mind makes up so many stories.'

My mind stops me from showing up for people in a vulnerable way because what if I look silly or what if it's not what they want.

All these 'what if's' are stopping me from deepening my connection with people because WHAT IF I JUST DO IT!

WHAT IF, that moment of vulnerability helps someone else feel seen in their experience...
Or helps someone not feel so alone
Or helps someone smile and feel joy for the first time that day

As best I can, I'm choosing to drop the story, saying 1,2,3, and just doing it! Knowing that this mindset shift is not for me, it's for the person on the receiving end!

If youā€™ve ever been curious but hesitant, this oneā€™s for you.

Coming into a space like this, especially if youā€™re not used to sharing, takes courage.

Itā€™s not always easy to speak out loud about whatā€™s on your heart. But something shifts when we do.

You donā€™t have to say anything. You can simply sit, listen, feel. This space is here to hold you without pressure or judgment.

We show up as we are, and thatā€™s more than enough.

Swipe through to get a feel for what itā€™s really like. And if it calls to you, come sit with us.

Stepping into a space of sharing offerings with the world has been challenging.

The minute I stepped in, I felt as if I needed to put on this 'entrepreneurial' hat and find out how the system of 'being successful in the wellness space' worked. And that's when I started feeling more confused and frustrated with 'not doing it right,' when 'doing it right' just means being authentic.

This is a quote from one of my posts in 2023
"My goal is to be real, raw and vulnerable and no script or schedule will allow me to do that so screw the algorithm and the SEO and all the other digital marketing lingo, I'm just flowing and I want to invite you to flow with me as we create this beautiful space of healing and growth"

This is what I'm coming home to.

No rules.
No schedule.
No pushing of marketing.
No specific amount of payment.

Just me.

There is no specific amount of payment for our offerings.

In the beginning I was convinced by the system that I had to put a value on myself and my offering in monetary terms even though it didn't feel good to me, so I did.

And then I thought back to Kirsten 3 years ago. She didn't have much disposable income yet she was still willing to show up because she was curious to learn more about herself and different practices.

These practices have transformed my life so much and I want to offer them to you as a gift of thanks to the Higher Power for answering my heart's call to be of service to others.

Please accept my gift and if after the session you do feel called to give as a form of thanks then you're most welcome to. This could be in the form of a cash donation or a service exchange - whichever feels good to your heart.

Again, there are no expectations and no right of showing up.

Just my heart meeting yours.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

The Woman I Am Becoming Is One Born From Remembering.

There was a time when I didnā€™t know how to sit with myself.
Actually, I didnā€™t want to.
It was painful to have my thoughts rise to the surface and admit they were mine.
So I kept doing more, distracting myself because that felt easier than facing the truth.

My worth was tightly tangled in how others saw meā€¦
In how much I gave and how little I thought I needed in return.
I poured from an empty cup, not realising that love and peace are seeds planted within.

Itā€™s taking years to unravel the conditioning.
The belief that 'keeping the peace' means silencing my own truth.
Healing has taught me how to breathe again, intentionally.
How to listen, not just outwardly, but inwardly.
How to tend to the garden of my inner world with love and grace.

Healing arrives in waves, in relapses, in breakthroughs.
In breakups, in makeups, in quiet moments and loud realisations.
But through it all, Iā€™ve learned the most important thing:
Keep showing up for yourself.
Keep using your voice.

I encourage you to sit.
To reconnect.
To remember.
To rebuild a relationship with yourself that is rooted in love, not fear.

If youā€™ve ever felt like you were too much, or not enoughā€¦
If youā€™ve ever felt disconnected from your own heartā€¦
Youā€™re not alone.
And remember thereā€™s always a way back home to yourself.

You are worthy of a life that feels safe enough for your most authentic self to be.
And that safety starts within.

The more I look at this picture, the more parallels I draw between the physical experience of this moment and the healing work Iā€™m currently doingšŸ•Æļø

Physically, I walked into this dark cave - one that now, interestingly, resembles a va**na - which feels even more symbolic, as my healing right now is centered around remembering the woman I was before labels and conditioning distorted my sense of self šŸ’†

I wasnā€™t scared walking in. I was curious, excited, and a little uncertain about what Iā€™d find, which honestly made it even more thrilling. Thatā€™s exactly how I feel stepping into the depths of feminine healing. I wouldnā€™t say I fear the darknessā€”I want to know whatā€™s there. I want to learn how to coexist with it, just as I would if there were bats or snakes in the cave. Itā€™s about learning to be in the space together, just like leaning into the dark feminine wisdom that exists within us all šŸ§˜ā€ā™€ļø

At one point, the cave narrowed, and I instinctively looked back and asked, ā€œAre you still behind me?ā€ That moment - where I felt most alive while also knowing I was supported - allowed me to expand even further, to step deeper into discovery šŸ‘£

Yes, I could have gone into that cave alone. And yes, healing can be done alone. But would I have ventured as deep without knowing I had support? Who knows? šŸ¤·

What I do know is that next time, I probably will be able to go alone. And thatā€™s the beauty of this work. At first, we may need a hand to hold - but in time, we find the strength to rise on our own! šŸŖ·šŸ’›

Whenever I bleed I feel the call to run to the forest

I see it as Gaia's way of telling me "Come my child, it's time for your to rest now"Ā 

For so long I've bullied myself with conditioning into believing that it makes me 'tough' to just keep doing life as if my body is not literally sounding all it's alarm systems to slow down and go withinĀ 

Meeting myself with compassion has to be one of the most beautiful journeys so farĀ 

Thank you Gaia for your call, I hear you šŸ’š

I was a Mature Child, now I'm a Childlike Woman! šŸ’ƒ

Playing and dancing my way through each day

Laughing and crying some times too

It's time to grow back down to our childlike essence

Wear shoes less, express yourself more

Be messy and loud and wear whatever clothes you want

Look at everything with wonder and awe

Finding the beauty in every magical moment šŸ„°
