Regulate & Rise

I spent years believing that being strong was my only option.

A few years ago, I got a Wonder Woman tattoo.

Not because I thought I was Wonder Woman, but because I needed a constant reminder to stay strong. At the time, I genuinely believed that was the only way I was going to keep going.

Keep showing up. Keep smiling. Keep working. Keep looking after everyone and everything else.

Whatever was happening on the inside, I just had to keep going.

Yesterday I wrote about how we track everything in our lives except how we're actually feeling.

For a long time, I knew exactly how I was feeling. I just didn't think I had the luxury of doing anything about it. I got really good at functioning while not actually feeling okay. Looking back, I realise how much pressure I put on myself to be strong all the time.

I thought strength meant holding everything together, not letting things get to me and finding a way to push through, no matter what but I've since learnt that strength can look very different.

Sometimes it's admitting you're struggling. Sometimes it's asking for help. Sometimes it's allowing yourself to feel something you've spent years trying not to.

You can be strong and still need support.
You can be capable and still feel overwhelmed.
You can be the person everyone relies on and still need someone in your corner.

I still love my Wonder Woman tattoo. But these days, it reminds me that I don't have to be Wonder Woman every day. Neither do you 💙

We track our steps, our sleep, our calories, our weight, our bank balance and even how many days until Christmas. But how often do we stop and ask ourselves how we're actually feeling?

We know when we haven't slept enough, spent too much money or when the scales aren't moving in the direction we'd like but what about the things we can't measure?

The stress we're carrying. The thoughts that won't switch off. The emotions we've pushed aside because there's simply too much going on.

Do we actually take the time to feel what we're feeling? Or are we so busy getting through life that we've stopped paying attention?

Maybe we've become numb to it. Maybe we're too busy to admit how we're really feeling. Maybe we've been pushing things aside for so long that we don't even know anymore (or maybe that was just me??)

For a long time, I was so busy looking after everyone and everything else that I stopped paying attention to what was happening inside me. I just kept going.

We tell ourselves we're fine. We're just busy. We're just tired. Things will settle down when life gets a little quieter but sometimes life doesn't get quieter, and we become so used to feeling a certain way that we forget it doesn't have to be our normal.

Looking after yourself isn't just about what you eat, how much you move or how well you sleep. It's also about how you're coping with life.

One of the things I love most about 9D Breathwork is giving people the opportunity to stop, reconnect with themselves and recognise what they've been carrying, sometimes without even realising it.

We're all carrying different things, and we don't all need the same experience.

So here's a little reminder to check in with yourself today.

Not your watch. Not your phone. Not your fitness tracker.

YOU!! How are you actually feeling?

If you're feeling like it's time to do something for yourself, reach out. I'd love to have a chat about where you're at and whether a group class or a private 1:1 breathwork experience would be better suited to you.

Fear has a way of keeping us comfortable in places we’ve already outgrown. Sometimes the biggest risk isn’t what might happen if we try, but what we’ll miss if we never do.
Get uncomfortable 💪🏻

No matter how old they get, they’ll always be my baby girls 💕

They’re grown women now, living their own lives, with their own partners, plans and priorities. I don’t always know where they are, what they’re doing or when I’ll see them next. I’m no longer responsible for their day-to-day lives, and that’s exactly how it should be but when we get together, they’re still my little girls.

Two years ago, when I hit rock bottom and made the decision to leave my marriage, I also walked away from our family home. That meant leaving these two behind.

I’d stayed in my marriage for years longer than I otherwise might have, because keeping our family together was important to me. I don’t regret that decision. It was what I needed to do at that time in my life but eventually, I reached a point where I knew I couldn’t continue living the life I was living.

My girls were old enough to understand why I needed to leave, but that didn’t make it any easier.

I wasn’t just ending a marriage. I was changing the only family structure they’d ever known, and that was by far the hardest part of my decision.

There was guilt, sadness and plenty of tears. I knew I was making the right decision for myself, but I also knew it would affect the people I loved most.

Two years on, our family looks different. My girls are building their own lives, finding their own way and becoming women I’m incredibly proud of.

I’ve learnt that families can change without the love between us changing.

These days, I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like. They’re busy living their lives, just as they should be but moments like this mean absolutely everything to me.

For a little while, I get to have both my baby girls wrapped around me again & there’s nowhere else I’d rather be 🫶🏻

How many times have you swallowed your feelings just to keep the peace?

Said yes when you wanted to say no? Put everyone else’s needs before your own? Pretended something didn’t hurt when it really did?

Maybe you’ve spent years trying to keep everyone happy, questioning your worth or feeling like you’re never quite good enough.

But what if these aren’t personality traits? What if they’re patterns shaped by what you’ve experienced?

This November, we’re exploring 5 PRIMARY TRAUMA IMPRINTS, one of our most powerful 9D Breathwork journeys & a personal fav of mine!

An opportunity to explore old patterns, express emotions you’ve been holding onto and reconnect with yourself.

For every time you wanted to scream but stayed silent. Every time you wanted to cry but held it together.

Maybe it’s time to stop putting yourself last 💙
