A year where I didnāt crave a holiday⦠and why
I realised recently that I havenāt pined for a holiday away this year. At first, I assumed it was purely about finances, and yes, thatās a thread in the tapestry, but it isnāt the whole story.
Due to the nature of my work as a trauma specialist, I usually feel the need to escape away from the UK, albeit for a couple of days to renew my energy, recalibrate, and for some intentional selfcare.
On reflection, something far more beautiful has been happening. Iāve built a business that fits the contours of my actual life. A business that lets me be present for my daughter through pregnancy and postpartum, spend spacious time with my son, and play fullāon PA for one of my bestieās sonsā wedding- a whole week of singing, dancing, outfits, joy, and laughter.
Iāve poured love into transforming my back room into a full treatment space- deeply therapeutic & exciting.
Woven through all of this has been the magic of . Filling my diary and my cup in equal measure.
Take today- wildāflower picking (turns out it was bug hunting) with my BizBestie Corinna .
There was the Saltburn adventures with some incredible women Joanne , Angela & Pilar
to name butt a few, while Kate captured moments.
Elevate with .liveweddingartist and so many more wonderful women.
Thermomix events with , .apparel , and .
A lunch date with Helen .
Group content creation with and using her iconic bike as a prop and inspiration.
And quite honestly, so much more with so many more incredible women
My cup hasnāt just been full, itās been overflowing.
And when your everyday life is this rich, this connected, this joyful⦠you donāt find yourself desperately needing a break away. Alhamdulillah š
Tell meā¦How are you filling your cup?
What joyful things are sitting in your diary that youāre looking forward to?
