Today feels a little lighter... although still heavy, and the darkness isn’t far away.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone, near and far, who has reached out, sent messages, checked in, or simply let me know you’re thinking of me. It really does mean the world. ❤️

And that’s after setting off at 6am this morning for a whirlwind trip to Liverpool to sort an emergency passport for Lili, booking a new flight, dropping her at Manchester Airport, and making the journey home again.

Since then it’s been:
✔️ 2 loads of washing
✔️ Tea made
✔️ Ironing done

Not exactly glamorous, but today I’m taking the win. It’s been a tough one, but I’m feeling accomplished.

Then, completely out of the blue, an amazing work opportunity landed in my inbox. Proof that this is what happens when women talk about each other in rooms we’re not in. Women supporting women is a powerful thing, and I’m incredibly grateful.

So now, Lili is on her way to Ibiza, and living her best life 😂, and I’m sitting here with a cup of tea, bra off (iykyk), ready to read a few pages before bed.

One day at a time 🩷

Today, I don’t feel like myself, in fact I feel like s**t!
Recently I’ve pulled away from people. Cancelled plans. Told myself I was fine and tried to push through.

But I know when I start feeling mentally and emotionally unwell, that’s exactly when I need to do the opposite and use the wellness tools, which is fu***ng hard when you’ve no motivation.

And it’s not because they’re a magic fix, because they aren’t, but they do help keep me well and they help stop a difficult day becoming a difficult week.

So today, I’m trying one of the basics, and if I’m honest that’s probably going to be a tall order:
✨ Getting outside for fresh air
✨ Moving my body
✨ Reaching out instead of retreating

I’m sharing this because vulnerability isn’t always easy for me. My instinct is often to cut myself off and deal with things alone.

But connection is part of healing.

If you’re having one of those days too, consider this your reminder that you don’t have to wait until you’re completely burnt out to look after yourself. The small things matter. The foundations matter.

And sometimes the bravest thing we can do is admit we’re struggling and ask for support.

Much love ❤️

Well… that accidental little break from social media turned into a full-on “WTF is going on with my life?” moment 😅

While I’ve been away trying to figure out why things have felt a bit s**t and not quite aligned, here’s what’s been happening behind the scenes…

✨ I’ve developed hay fever. Actual hay fever.
I mean I could do with a weekly newsletter explaining my bodies latest plot twist.

✨ My menopause symptoms are actually ok-ish right now…
(whispering this quietly because I do NOT want to anger the menopause goddess and have her strike me down with rage, insomnia and anxiety 😂)
Other than the hot flushes… we move.

✨ It’s also been recognised that ADHD is one of my superpowers.
And yes, I say superpower because “diagnosis” doesn’t sit right with me.
More on that another time because WOW… suddenly a lot of my life makes sense.

✨ Oh… and somewhere along the way I fell headfirst into all things woo woo🔮🌙
Turns out healing, intuition, energy, cycles and reconnecting with yourself is kind of my thing now.
Honestly? Some of it would have made old me raise an eyebrow… and now I’m over here pulling oracle cards and talking about alignment like it’s perfectly normal 😂

But if I’m really honest?

The hardest part has actually been feeling hurt and disappointed by people I genuinely thought were friends.

And for a little while, I forgot myself.
I forgot who I was.
I forgot my strength.
I forgot my magic.

But then something shifted.

I remembered who I am.

And boom… I’m back ✨

I knew I needed to come back to social media… but for a while, it just wasn’t flowing.
Nothing felt right, and I didn’t want to show up just for the sake of showing up.

Then, tucked inside my diary, I found a little sticky note from a fabulous woman full of colour, energy, and encouragement.
It made me stop for a moment.

So I picked up the planner I’d bought from her months ago… the one I’d never really opened properly.
That led me back to revisiting the incredible pack my mentor had created for me — full of reminders of who I am, what I love, and why I started this journey in the first place

And somehow… here I am again 💛

This time, I’m not coming back trying to fit into what social media “should” look like.
I’m coming back more honestly, more openly, and much more in my own way.

I’m really looking forward to sharing this space with you again ✨

Here’s the thing………..

I’ve paid to sit in rooms where I was belittled.

I’ve been told I don’t have a business — just a hobby.

I’ve thought I’d found my people, only to realise not everyone lives by the same values.

But here’s what I do know…

There are good people out there, and people who need my help 🤍

Therefore, I will always support other. It’s who I am — a walking, talking public service announcement for lifting others up.

But from now on, I’m choosing differently and I’m m doing it my way, one swear word at a time.

I’m surrounding myself with people who fill me up — not for what they can offer, but for how they show up.

No more shrinking. No more proving. No more fitting into spaces that were never built for me.

So move on over…

The procession is just getting started 🥁🥁

Love you all loads and I’ve missed you - it’s great to be back - are you ready for me ???

📚 Happy World Book Day!

Thank fully I no longer have the stress of getting the kids ready for world book day but I have always loved getting lost in a good book. Whether it’s something that helps me learn, grow, escape for a while, or see the world from a different perspective — I’m always reading something.

I’m naturally curious and love learning as much as I can, so my bookshelf is a real mix of topics and stories.

What about you? What do you love to read? 📖✨
