Maybe you don’t need to hold everything on your own. 🤍

Tomorrow morning we’re gathering for our August Sunday Sanctuary Learning to Lean.

A 90-minute space to step out of doing, fixing, organising and carrying… and explore what it might feel like to let yourself be supported.

We’ll move.
We’ll breathe.
We’ll reflect.
We’ll rest.

And perhaps begin to notice where we’ve become so used to being the strong one that we’ve forgotten how to lean.

If life has felt a little too full lately, come exactly as you are. No need to have your s**t together first. In fact, that’s rather the point. 😂

Sunday 9th August | 9:30am UK time
✨ Learning to Lean
✨ Live online
✨ Replay available

Come and spend Sunday morning with us. 🤍

A woman messaged me recently and said something that really stayed with me.

She’d love to join the membership, but right now her life is too busy and her mind feels too chaotic.

And I thought… that’s exactly when we struggle to choose ourselves.

When life feels overwhelming, stillness can almost feel uncomfortable. There’s always something else that needs doing, someone who needs us, another problem to solve or another box to tick before we give ourselves permission to stop.

So we tell ourselves we’ll look after ourselves when things calm down.

But what if they don’t?

I’m beginning to realise that so much of wellbeing isn’t about finding more discipline, creating the perfect morning routine or adding another bloody thing to the list.

Sometimes it’s simply about feeling safe enough to stop.

Safe enough to leave something unfinished.

Safe enough to take twenty minutes that achieves absolutely nothing.

Safe enough to choose yourself before you’ve earned it.

And perhaps we don’t need to overhaul our lives at all. Perhaps we start with one tiny pocket of stillness and slowly teach ourselves that the world doesn’t fall apart when we step out of firefighting mode.

That’s where we begin.

Not with doing more.

With making enough space to come back to ourselves. 🤍

You don’t need to earn your rest. And you don’t have to wait until life is calm to choose yourself.

❤️

Today we have come back to the place where it all happened… and this time, together. 🤍

Firstly, we were both completely blown away by the response to the original video. The messages, the comments and particularly the number of women checking that Annie was okay genuinely meant so much to us both.

But I didn’t really want this conversation to be about the two women anymore. I wanted it to be about how Annie chose to handle it.

We ended up having a really interesting conversation about jealousy too. Not because we know what motivated anyone that day, we don’t, but because jealousy is something every one of us will probably experience at some point.

And actually, I don’t think jealousy has to be this horrible emotion we’re ashamed of.

Used well, it can be an incredible signpost.

What is it about that person that’s stirring something in me? Is there something they have, do or represent that perhaps I want for myself?

It can become inspiration.

The problem comes when that uncomfortable feeling gets projected onto the person who triggered it. When instead of looking inward, we try to make them smaller so that we can feel bigger.

And THAT is something I really want us to talk about.

Because we can’t control what other people think of us. We can’t stop people judging us, misunderstanding us or occasionally being unkind.

But we can decide what kind of person we’re going to be in response.

Watching Annie talk about how she handled that day, and then hearing the advice she had for other young women who might find themselves in the same position, made me incredibly proud.

Not because she didn’t fight back or because she stayed quiet.

But because she didn’t allow somebody else’s behaviour to dictate her own.

And perhaps that’s one of the greatest things we can teach our daughters:

Another woman’s beauty doesn’t diminish yours.
Another woman’s success doesn’t threaten yours.
And someone else’s behaviour never has to determine the woman you choose to be.

Proud of you, Annie. ❤️

Yesterday’s video opened a conversation I don’t think any of us were expecting.

I spent hours reading your comments. Women sharing stories of being judged, bullied, excluded and made to feel “less than” by other women. Different ages. Different places. The same feeling.

It made me realise something.

This has never just been about yoga.

Or grief.

Or the nervous system.

It’s about the kind of humans we choose to be.

I’ve spent much of my life in industries where comparison was normal. Where we were encouraged to measure ourselves against one another. But comparison doesn’t stay in the fashion world. It follows us into schools, workplaces, gyms, friendships… and sometimes even to a quiet afternoon by a swimming pool.

I don’t want to build a community based on perfection.

I want to build one where women genuinely celebrate each other.

Where kindness is courageous.

Where compassion becomes contagious.

Where another woman’s light doesn’t make yours any dimmer.

Imagine if every time we walked away from someone, they felt just a little safer, a little more seen and a little more valued because we’d crossed their path.

That’s the world I want to be part of.

If that resonates with you, then maybe this little corner of the internet is your home too. 🤍

Let’s become the minority that chooses compassion over comparison.

❤️

Yesterday, Annie went to one of her favourite places. She goes there because she feels safe sitting on her own with a book and a bit of peace.

When there weren’t any sunbeds left, the staff kindly found her somewhere else to sit. From that moment on, two women began making snide comments about her. They moved closer to her in the pool and carried on until she eventually picked up her things and left.

When I arrived later and she told me what had happened, every instinct in me wanted to walk straight over. But what broke my heart wasn’t what those women had said. It was Annie quietly saying, “Don’t worry Mum… I get this all the time.”

That sentence has stayed with me ever since.

As women, we speak so often about empowerment, kindness and lifting each other up. But those things aren’t just words we put on social media. They’re choices we make every single day, especially when we’re around women we don’t know.

The woman sitting quietly on her own.
The woman reading a book.
The woman who looks like she’s got it all together.

We never really know what someone is carrying.

My hope is simply that this makes us all pause for a moment before we judge, before we whisper, before we decide another woman is ours to tear down.

Because the smallest acts of kindness can stay with someone for years…

…but so can the smallest acts of cruelty.

I think we’ve overcomplicated wellness.

We convince ourselves that Monday will be different.

We’ll wake up at 5am.
Meditate.
Journal.
Exercise.
Meal prep.
Drink two litres of water.
Read ten pages.
Take supplements.
Get eight hours sleep.

And by Tuesday we’re exhausted before we’ve even started.

I’ve realised something over the last few months…

The problem isn’t that we lack discipline.

The problem is that we’re trying to build a new life from a nervous system that doesn’t yet feel safe.

Healing doesn’t begin with doing more.

It begins with choosing yourself in one small moment.

A ten-minute walk.

Five deep breaths.

A cup of coffee without your phone.

A proper lunch.

A bedtime routine.

Then another.

Then another.

Those little moments become habits.
Those habits become a way of living.

Your wellbeing isn’t hiding at the end of a perfect routine.

It’s found in the small moments where you quietly remind yourself…

“I matter too.”

Comfort zones feel safe… until they become the place where life stops happening.

If you'd told me five months ago that I'd be walking into a day club in Bali surrounded by people I didn't know, I'd have laughed.

The truth is, I nearly didn't go.

Social anxiety has been one of grief's unexpected companions. After losing Olly, my world became very small. Home felt safe. Familiar people felt safe. Anything outside of that often felt overwhelming.

But what I am learning is this.

Courage rarely arrives before you do.

Sometimes it arrives after you've said yes.

Looking at this photo, I don't just see three women smiling. I see three women living completely different lives, each of us carrying our own story, each of us having, in our own way, blown up the life we once knew.

Not because it was easy or because we had all the answers. But because something inside us whispered...

"What if there's more life waiting for you?"

Yesterday reminded me that there are beautiful people everywhere if we're willing to step outside the comfort zone that's quietly become our prison.

I'm still anxious sometimes.

I still overthink.

But I'm learning that life isn't found by waiting until you feel fearless.

It's found by taking one small step anyway.

Have you become so used to holding everything together that asking for help feels uncomfortable?

So many of us wear being "the strong one" like a badge of honour.

We keep going.
We keep giving.
We carry everyone else.

Until one day we realise we're exhausted... and we've forgotten how to lean.

This August, our Sunday Sanctuary is called Learning to Lean.

A gentle morning of yoga, breathwork, meditation and reflection exploring why asking for help can feel so difficult... and how connection helps us heal.

🌿 Sunday 9th August
🕤 9:30am (UK)
💻 Live on Zoom
🎥 Replay included
💚 £10 (Free for Kula Springs Members)

Come exactly as you are.

Pyjamas are absolutely welcome.

I'd love to see you there.

Love,
Beck xx

Grief didn’t just make me sad.

It changed the way I walked into the world.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped assuming people would like me and started assuming I’d probably said or done something wrong.

If you’ve ever found yourself cancelling plans, overthinking conversations, or feeling safer at home than out in the world after loss… you’re not alone.

I’m not “over” my grief.

I still wake up some mornings with anxiety sitting heavily on my chest.

But I’m discovering something important:

Courage isn’t the absence of fear.

Sometimes courage is simply putting your shoes on, walking out of the front door, and letting life surprise you.

If this resonates, I’d love to know… has grief changed the way you relate to other people?

Yesterday, I was on a call talking about my mission…

Halfway through, I started crying.

Not because I was talking about losing my husband.

Not because I was talking about grief.

But because, for the first time, I heard myself say out loud what I’ve actually been learning over the last few months.

Every time life feels overwhelming, my instinct is to start firefighting.

I get busy.
I solve problems.
I tick things off.
I tell myself I’ll slow down when everything is done.

Except… everything is never done.

And somewhere along the way, I lose myself.

What I’m slowly learning is that I don’t need more discipline.

I need to create enough safety within myself that choosing rest, rituals and self-care no longer feels selfish… it feels necessary.

Maybe that’s what this next chapter is really about.

Helping overwhelmed women stop living in survival mode and start feeling safe enough to choose themselves again.

If that resonates with you, I’d love to know… ❤️
