✨💕🪩 July - photo dump of my birthday month that made me happy 💕

In no particular order:
🎶 Started the month with the legendary Alanis Morissette & ended the month at
Latitude Festival
🎈Various birthday celebrations- from pastries in the garden, to trying oysters 🦪 at Fish Cottage and lunch at The Starr
💕 Sisterhood Circle outside with cake
🚐 Time away in Phoebe - the RV which involved fire pits, toasting marshmallows & playing games 🃏
🍫 Also, had Tim Tams for the first time- how have I never had them before???
New favourite chocolate treat 😋
🗿Found a stone with a smiley face 🙂
🐶 The Bailey side eye 👀
🍆 & me as a c**k 🐓 😆

I’ve absolutely loved my birthday month especially as I’d decided to reclaim my 40th.

A new chapter, a new era is coming….

29/07/2026

🍀 I’m not going to lie…

I woke today feeling exhausted and not lucky at all.

I’m still exhausted from the 72k steps covering 28 miles at Latitude festival 🫠

I woke up thinking sh*t…. I don’t feel lucky at all today & what does that mean on ‘The Luckiest Day’ of the year 🫣

Thankfully I’d blocked my diary out for the whole morning to spend time connecting to this energy. 🧙‍♀️

I used the framework from Kairos and the practical tools from my 20 years specialising in emotional resilience to anchor, focus on awakening, to rewriting the future I want to create and worked on my sustainable business plan for the reemergence of my next chapter.

Swipe through the slides to see what I did….

Let me know, have you done anything special for this day or full moon 🌕

🍀 The Lucky Experiment, week two. 🍀

So, let’s check in properly.

🍀What went well?
🍀 What were your lucky moments?
🍀 What was challenging?
🍀 Did you notice any limiting beliefs or lack mindset creeping in?
🍀 Is there anything you’d do differently moving into this week?

A few of you were honest with me that last week was genuinely hard.
From tough weeks to tough days, nothing that felt particularly “lucky” on the surface.

However, here’s the bit that mattered.
You also told me it made you more conscious of what you already had.
Even on the rough days, you were looking for the good, and that awareness helped you reset quicker than you normally would’ve.

That’s not the experiment failing.
That’s it working exactly as it should. Noticing isn’t about everything going right. It’s about training your brain to find the good even when things are hard.

This week, the sky’s playing along too. The Barbault Basket - the rare planetary alignment I mentioned last week, and this time it’s personal.

In my Kairos framework, this is a Re-emerging moment: not starting from scratch, but carrying forward everything you’ve already anchored, awakened and rewritten.

So if you’ve been doing this with me ✨ let’s go a little deeper this week.

And if you’re only just seeing this 🫶🏻welcome.

Honestly, the timing couldn’t be better.

Drop a 🍀 below and tell me: how did week one go for you?

🍀🧠 Let’s explore the neuroscience behind why The Lucky Experiment works…

As you know, I love getting geeky about neuroscience and how it supports soulful approaches.
Over the next few slides I’m merely scratching the surface of how neuroscience supports mindset work and The Lucky Experiment.

We’re going to look how the Reticular Activating System (RAS), Value Tagging coined by Doctor Tara and Confirmation Bias supports our little experiment.

Let me know your thoughts 🍀💭🍀

🧠 Reticular Activating System > RAS

This is the network of neurons that govern arousal and filtering network, therefore crucial for mindset work. E.g. The Lucky Experiment.

Our senses receives 11million bits of information and the brain filters it down to only 40 per second!

Your senses receives more information than it can handle to process, therefore is prioritising what you’ve flagged as relevant, threatening or emotionally important.

So, here’s where The Lucky Experiment works as its mindset work.
You are priming your brain towards luck and gratitude, which will prime your brain to pay attention to the good things, aka the lucky opportunities and synchronicities in life.

🧠 Value Tagging

Is a term popularised by Dr Tara Swart and she talks about the process of where your brain assigns information to every piece of information it is exposed to.

So, as we know from the RAS we only process 40 pieces of information from the 11 million.
The How: Then our unconscious brain (limbic & thalamic) then ‘value tags’ that information and its heavily influenced by reward, emotion and dopamine.

This is the WHY the Lucky Experiment works - as we’re saying well done to our brain for value tagging the information!

🧠 Confirmation Bias

This can work in our favour.
If we believe, ‘good things can happen’ our brain will notice, seek, interpret and remember that information.

If we tell our brain, ‘bad things always happen to me’ then it’ll use the same exact process to confirm that reality.
Same mechanism but unhelpful and limiting beliefs.

🧠 Neuroscience Conclusion:

Believes the frequency of the world hasn’t changed, just your internal filter.
You are deliberately priming

🌀 I’m going to be honest with you…

Sunday we had a late night watching the World Cup final and woke up early.

I was tired, irritated, snapping at my husband.

Feeling negative not exactly the energy of someone running a ‘Lucky Experiment’

But this is the bit that matters: knowing I was doing the Lucky Experiment made me pause and shift my focus.

But having a nap 😴
Helped massively.

This is Anchoring in real life.
Not a nice idea on socials

An actual moment of stopping, meeting the need, letting my nervous system catch up before I asked anything else of it.

You can’t Awaken, Rewrite, or Re-emerge from a place of exhaustion.

⚓️ You have to anchor first.

So if today or yesterday wasn’t your best “lucky” day…
Maybe you snapped, you felt flat, you couldn’t find the gratitude for feeling lucky.

That’s not failure. That’s data.

Regulation and basic needs being met are essential. Always.

Remember today is a new day ☀️

🍀 How did you get on yesterday? 🍀

🍀 Starting a little experiment… do you want in? 🍀

I’ve been thinking about the filter we see life through, and how much our thoughts genuinely shape our reality…

It’s something I’ve studied & worked with over the years
The soul side and the science side.

When something difficult or heartbreaking happens, it’s easy to start filtering all of reality through that one lens.

There’s a belief that you attract more of the energy you resonate with.

Neuroscience says something similar, that our brains “value tag” whatever info we tell them to look for.

Two languages, same truth.

So, here’s the experiment:
🍀 Every morning, tell yourself how lucky you are
🍀 List what you’re grateful for & feel lucky to have
🍀 Every time something lucky happens, acknowledge it & thank the Universe
🍀 End the day counting your blessings

The timing felt right too as we’re in the middle of the Barbault Basket, a rare planetary alignment said to mark the moment old patterns crack and something new takes root.

Kairos. The right moment, not just any moment.

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing the theories behind why this works from science, psychology, soul, and how my Kairos framework (Anchoring, Awakening, Rewriting, Re-emerging) fits in.

This isn’t about ignoring the hard stuff or forcing positivity.

It’s about training your brain to notice more of the good that’s already there.

The Lucky Experiment starts now. Soul + science, side by side. 🍀✨

✨ The Invitation of Sitting in the Liminal

Kairos began as a small, intimate, transformative one day experience.

Then I sat with it. Embodied it. Held it as 1:1 offering.

And I realised.
It's becoming something bigger than I anticipated.
Expansive.
Evolving.
Still unfolding.
Unfurling.

I don't have all the answers of what it's going to be just yet.
And I'm okay with that. 🕊️

I'm not rushing the process.
I'm using this summer to let it evolve organically, in its own time, at its own pace.

Right now, I'm sitting at the threshold myself.
In the liminal space.

Asking myself: who am I becoming?

Kairos is for anyone at a threshold.
At a crossroads.
Who wants something different.
Something more.

A slow, sustainable, present way of being. That rides the waves of life instead of fighting them. 🌊

It's a decision to choose yourself over everything else.

To choose you. To choose a life aligned with your heart and soul.

There's news coming soon.
But for now, I'm enjoying the not-knowing.
The becoming.

If you're at your own threshold right now, I see you.
You're not alone in the in-between.
Just know, this is where the magic happens.

Drop a 🌙 below if you're in your own liminal space, or DM me if you want to come on this journey with me.
