Rules for being human…

10/02/2022

I like to think that astrology, and astrological concepts, are the language of god.

What I mean by that is, the planets do not determine our destiny. We are not at the mercy of planetary movement.

They merely reflect the greater story of the ENERGY and PATTERN that is happening in the universe.

And since we are part of the universe, they tell the story of OUR energy, and how it will unfold... And all in glorious detail: our karma, our talents, our life lessons, our relationship dynamics, etc.

Cos much like DNA, astrology represents the intricate pattern of life. The interplay of energy.

God, source, created the cosmos. It carries a divine signature, an inherent pattern, sacred geometry.

The day we are born, we enter a relationship with the stars.

We CHOSE when we are born so we can express the energy of the universe at that moment in time. We carry it with us, like a fingerprint, an inherent frequency, a vibratory point of attraction.

We are destined, in that sense, to echo the energy of the stars on that very moment we are born.

That’s why we can look to astrology to understand the recesses of our psyche, our deepest yearnings, blocks and overall life trajectory.

It’s all there.

The pattern is there.

Astrology there for us to learn, so we can understand ourselves better and our place in the universe.

A recent testimonial I received... and my reviews tab is finally working if I’ve done a reading or healing for you and you’d like to leave some feedback too :)

It’s safe to relax.

Read that again.

IT’S SAFE TO RELAX.

Are you relaxed into THIS very moment, or are you holding tension, feeling impatient or pushed onto the next task or thing that grabs your attention?

What if you could run your business (and live your life) from a place of relaxation?

True relaxation.

There is an unconscious narrative (and belief) that it’s unsafe to relax... unsafe to trust life... and unsafe to trust in your intuition.

We’re told if you “snooze you lose”, if you’re not constantly creating and productive, you’ll fall behind, if you don’t buy this course (or this program, or this system) you won’t “succeed”.

So. Much. Fear.

So much mind-activity. The heart’s voice cannot be heard amid all the fear.

This is why we’re so tense.

We are always on our guard, never feeling enough, never truly trusting life or our own path, ideas or flow.

It’s exhausting.

Relaxation is our birthright.

It is our divine calling.

Everything else is an illusion (reinforced by trauma and conditioning).

Find your way to relaxation and you find the way into your heart, voice, and inner direction.

You don’t need to hustle, you don’t need someone else’s template, strategy, or marketing plan.

Relax. And see where that energy takes you.

I ran a Brand Storytelling Workshop on Saturday. My heart is left wide open. Here's feedback I received from a participant:

"The workshop was better than anything I could have expected. With each exercise, I felt missing pieces falling into place.

In a matter of a three hours, something so hidden has started to resurface - I suddenly feel like part of me has come alive that I didn’t realise was asleep. The workshop was went deep into my soul.

When you look at those raw and real stories, part of you becomes stronger and more excepting of who you are. You realise your own strength.

For me, the magic continued after the workshop.

Whilst running the next morning, suddenly I was filled with so many memories I’d forgotten. They came flooding in, like a movie inside my head. Stories that make me, ME.
I remembered many things that were a blur – and now I feel like I’ve stepped back in to that bold, feisty “nothing’s-going-to-stop-me-now” person.

Thank you so much, the workshop was truly amazing.

You helped me discover there’s no “wrong” story. Everything written with a specific goal is a good story if there’s a ‘why’ and ‘how’ it relates back to the business.

When the structure of storytelling becomes second nature, every story will have value and inspire people. Being able to test out our stories and give and receive feedback was so helpful. I loved the whole workshop"

𝘼 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙚...

I prefer pubs to fancy restaurants.

Nature instead of cities.

Deep conversations over small talk.

I’m into period dramas, magic and time-travel ( )

I eat mostly plants and chocolate.

I’m a playful and kind ENFP, but it takes a while to really get to know me.

Maybe because I have a lot of layers, or maybe because I can be quite shy with my tenderest parts (there, I said it).

I do my best to write and share the truth, but struggle with true intimacy.

I cherish friendships where I can be fully myself.

But have sadly lost many of those friendships to time and distance.

I cry watching documentaries (or movies or sunsets)

(Have you seen a Blue Whale comfort its calf? Or coral ripple along the ocean floor? I witness God in those moments).

I’m a recovering potty mouth ( )

I've done my fair share of psychedelics.

I’m sensitive, unconventional, philosophical.

I never say no to an adventure.

I’m a Pisces sun, Ta**us moon, Cancer rising. With a strong scorpio streak.

I have a big heart that wants to keep giving.

I try to uphold a level of integrity with my words and actions. But can be brash and impatient.

I always want to help.

I guarantee I like you already.

I’m a good listener.

I work on my shadow and admit when I’m wrong.

I regret every time I’ve ever been an as***le. Discourtesy is always unnecessary.

Eckhart Tolle is my go-to. I’m so far from enlightened - until I’m not.

According to human design, I’m a Projector.

I’m wired to be a coach and to guide people’s energy. I know that to my core.

People have told me I’ve changed their life, but I still have a habit of undervaluing myself. It’s a ghost I’m trying to rid of.

I love working 1-on-1. Mostly because I can read people’s energy and it’s where I do my best work.

So. yeah, I coach.

I do soul-readings (ask me about it).

I help people start and grow businesses. I shape stories and lend my words.

I’m a provoker of change. A shaper of culture. A healer of wounds. An inspirer of big ideas. A strategist behind movements.

The word “branding” has its limits.

I’m still trying to find a word that fits.

Came across this photo of my old writing nook (in Singapore).

It was taken 3 years ago and so much has changed since then:

* I moved country
* My long-term relationship ended
* A new one started
* I had a baby!
* Restarted my business in the UK
* Global unrest
* A pandemic

If you told me then what the next few years would hold, I’d be like DUDE, you’ve entered the wrong time machine. There’s no way.

My life seemed so solid, so predictable.

Life is slow and repetitive until disruption turns your life inside out.

The beautiful thing about disruption though, is that something new always follows.

Glennon Doyle says, “First the pain, then the rising”.

Disruption is chaotic, confusing, and leaves our brain clawing for answers and comfort... but it’s necessary. It’s life’s way of reorganising itself.

They say people don't change unless theirs pain involved. Life has to apply the pressure.

We can try to fight it, or we can surrender to it gracefully. What new destination is our soul calling us to?

Globally, we are all headed to a new destination. We can’t predict what that future will look like, but it’s there waiting for us.

The stones will land where they’re gonna land. It’s this delicate dance between freewill and the cosmos.

There is so much we are not in control of, but I like to look at what IS within our power:

* What do we do we want our life to look like?
* What do we need to do for that to happen?
* What’s our focus on for the next 3 months?
* What’s our focus TODAY?
* How do we want the world to look collectively?
* What’s something we can do to contribute to that?

And perhaps more importantly...
* How do we want to feel?
* What can we do to feel that way TODAY?

22/03/2021

Please share your story.

Even when you are hesitant. Even when you have no idea how it will land.

Brene Brown said the definition of courage is to “tell the story of who you are with your whole heart”

And that vulnerability is the first thing we want to see in someone, but the thing we are least willing to give.

We seek sincerity in the face of others, but when we are challenged to be our most authentic, we hide.

It’s easier to stick to the script. The logo. The pitch. The strategy. The formula.

But what if your most important work and message was there waiting, behind layers and layers of fear?

What if finding and telling your story was your first step to liberation? To alignment? And true generosity?

I write, give talks, and share my stories ... but it’s not easy.

There is always a vulnerability, a panic. A fear of exposure.

But I forge on (not always, but mostly), knowing that’s what my favourite storytellers gave to me.

The Maya Angelous, Glennon Doyles, Brene Browns... and my favourite entrepreneurs I keep as a list on my pin-board.

When you share your stories, your share your authenticity and give other’s the permission to do the same.

And from there, you will find your own inner voice, guiding you.

Telling you want it needs and wants next.

And in my opinion, that’s the most potent place to build your business, creativity and soul connection.

…

If you’d like explore storytelling with me (and a group of likeminded people), I have an online brand storytelling April 10th (12pm-3pm UK time).

We’ll explore the role stories play in your business, your inner guidance system, and how you can use storytelling to build a business and grow a brand with alignment. Link to book in comments...
