I've been off my game this week! Usually, I'm up at 5am, but this week, I've struggled to get up by 6am, and I've been in a right old daze!

(I haven't been sleeping well lately....so thank all the pantheons for my deep rest practice!)

Case in point....went for my morning swim this morning and realised my towel was still wet from yesterday!!!! Then I mindlessly stripped off my cosi before having a shower, so I had to put it back on sopping wet!! Anyone who's done these things will know it ain't pleasant. Major school girl errors!!🤪

I need to stoke my inner fire! All this rain ain't helping!

However......synchronously...thank you universe...the theme of my class this evening for The Homecoming Method as we move towards summer solstice is FIRE....🔥

Inner powerhouse, spark, motivation, energy, spirit, mojo, vavavoom...

Let's be fireballs!

Bring it on!!

A different kind of musing on my sunrise walk! Inspired by the recent hilarious post from

It's time to shine our weird and wonderful lights into the world, to take off the masks and stop hiding in fear of judgement. Well, it certainly is for me!

I'm very proud of myself for stepping out into the world again after a very long time hiding. I'm delighted to be offering my medicine and to be an active part of my local community...a burgeoning blossoming community of cool and creative folk.

The more we each claim our sovereignty and own our freek, the more we give others permission and space to do the same.

To keep building the momentum for the paradigm shift, we need to live our true essence, my lovelies!

Happy sunny long weekend, everyone.

Yesterday was my daughter's 14th birthday. I'm so proud of the kind, gentle, sensitive, wise, considerate, hilarious, diligent, fierce, loyal and gifted young person she has blossomed into, especially given the traumatic beginnings we both experienced.

Her birthday brings difficult memories and triggers for me, as well as joy and gratitude for being blessed with such a beautiful soul as my Indie.

She doesn't like a public fuss, so while I'm celebrating my wonderful daughter, this post is mainly about some wisdom that arose that I'd like to share.

We're taking the whole weekend to celebrate with different people in our lives, and yesterday was family time. Yep, core script trigger central!

Thanks to my inner work, and forgiveness, and compassion, I'm now able to enjoy spending time with family. However, I realised I was STILL trying to please everyone and keep the peace, instead of zooming in on my daughter's needs and my needs.

This morning, I had the self-critiscim hangover of "I didn't get it right," "I didn't meet my daughter's needs," "I must do better," etc.

Ok. And breathe. Inhale 2. Exhale 4.

I'm not cake. I can not please everyone, and I'm doing the absolute best I can given my inner and outer resources.

The same applies to you.

We forget that we're not responsible for other people's behaviour, choices, or reactions. We say yes when we want to say no. We sacrifice ourselves. Then resentment can arise.

Saying no to another obligation is saying yes to yourself.

We need to protect our peace and our energy.

We need to carve out time to breathe and to take care of ourselves.

It's not a piece of cake, but it's necessary!

The Homecoming Method. Thursdays 18.15-19.45

Breathe. Move. Rest.

I love this piece of wisdom. Thank you to the ancient Chinese for this richly layered metaphor.

1. We need to rest. Never mind sleeping like a log, we need the deep time stillness of mountains.

2. When we arise from such deep rest, we are capable of great things. We are, anyway, but usually that means juggling and carrying a million things, and we burn ourselves out and become ill in the process of being all things to all people.

3. So we need to rest like the deep time rest of the mountains.

I haven't posted for a couple of days because I've been feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. May / Beltane season is loaded for me for many tricky reasons. This year feels less heavy in terms of my personal inner stuff, but now I am also carrying grief because my beloved friend died recently.

Last week, I walked up Kinder and felt the deep peace and wisdom that mountains can offer us. Even the Downfall was still that day! This morning, I felt called to share that message.

In my weekly offering, The Homecoming Method, we will rest deeply. Every week, we will dedicate space to the pillar of delicious unapologetic rest.

Rest. Breathe. Move.

Sunrise musings!

Ok, so a theme is developing here!

As I set out on my walk this morning, I was musing on how vital and non-negotiable my morning routine is for me, no matter the weather conditions. I get up, throw on some clothes, sort Dilly's litter tray and breakfast, make a coffee, get my boots on, and off I go. With an unwashed face and unbrushed hair.

Sarting the day deeply connected to nature and the elements aligns my being.

Actually, the word connection is a misnomer, as we already are nature. It's the rewilding we need.

My CEO has created this time for my Siren to feel, revel, and be wild, so my Slayer can take aligned action later. This is the phenomenal framework offered by on the Holy Trinity programme. It's a game changer in all areas of life!

So this lead to my recognition of how the earth supports me, and even though, as I've shared, I've not had the healthy conscious masculine in my life, I am supported. Modron (Mother Earth) holds me with unconditional love and feeds my body and spirit in all ways.

The sun is part of my Relational Medicine, and so I have a sunrise ritual that I thought I'd share (in addition to sun salutes on my yoga mat).

I'm enjoying posting organically. I realise that spending 20 mins or so sharing my morning musings with my second coffee is more aligned for me than trying to schedule posts in advance, which feels like a daunting effort!

This way also supports my growth edge in sharing myself, taking up space, and being seen!

Sunrise walk & tapping musings!

I wrote yesterday about writing a new chapter, and this morning's insights are about shifting the narrative on 'enoughness', interrupting the old patterns in the brain, creating a new groove.

(Image from The Tapping Solution guidance cards)

My core / wounded script of "I'm wrong, not important, it's not safe to be me" created (amongst other strategies) the Perfectionist. So I've always strived for perfection, not just in the big areas of life but in every moment, every thought, every choice. It's been exhausting.

I've learned that perfection is impossible to achieve, and inevitably falling short of my expectations reinforces the 'not enoughness'.

And it's not just 'too little', it's also 'too much'...e.g. too fat = not thin enough, too noisy = not quiet enough...and so on.

I am now able to reframe my experiences and expectations.

Instead of trying to be perfect all the time, I ask myself, "How is this experience perfect for me?" especially the ones that could be perceived as 'wrong'.

For example, this morning, I'd planned to walk a certain way. I was out an hour later than usual as I'd not slept well. So more people around, more cars. I dithered but my feet (body) just took me in an unplanned (mind) direction and I began to think I'd gone the 'wrong' way as it was too noisy for me, but just then a beautiful black rabbit ran alongside me in the field (first time ive ever seen a black one) and two grey rabbits appeared playing in front of me!

I also now reframe 'wrong'. For example, I bought bin liners that did not fit my bin. My brain tried to default to "I bought the wrong bin liners" = opening the door to self-flaggelation.

But I caught the thought just in time, thanked it and exclaimed, "I bought a different size, but it's OK, they'll do" = peace.

See how powerful these reframes are?
