Late autumn reflections on exhaustion, support, recalibration, and learning not to override yourself.

24/04/2026

We expect ourselves to keep going…

to keep showing up
to keep doing the things we know would help

even when something in us is asking for a different kind of attention

I’ve been reminded this week how quickly capacity shifts

how much is quietly held beneath the surface
and how important it is to notice when something needs to be tended to… before anything else

Not pushed through
not worked around

but properly tended

It’s not always comfortable to pause like that

but it changes the quality of what we’re able to hold… and how we show up within it

Where in your life might something be asking to be tended to right now?

You’re welcome to share, or reach out, if that feels easier 🌿

There are moments when life asks more of you than usual…

when things feel uncertain
or in transition
and your energy is being pulled in different directions

And it’s in those moments that the things we know would support us
are often the first to slip

Not because they don’t matter

But because we’re already holding a lot

This is where having the right kind of support makes all the difference

Not more pressure
not more to do

But something steady to come back to
when everything else feels a little unsettled 🌿

Some things feel like shifting sand here at the moment…

One of my older horses is nearing the end of his life and I’ve been spending time with him… tending, watching, honouring what is changing.

There’s a heaviness to it…
a sense of not quite being able to hold onto anything steady.

And at the same time…
a deep gratitude for the years, the bond, the lessons.

It’s a kind of in-between space…
where each next step needs to be felt into carefully to serve the highest good of all.

Alongside this, another horse has a wound that is tricky to treat because he’s a sensitive guy with a history of trust issues
and is needing slow, patient work.

I’m aware too of how these moments stretch the capacity of the herd… and of me.
And what it takes to hold space well, with the steadiness and presence this work asks for.

And so, honouring that…

I’m pressing pause on our equine facilitated sessions for a few weeks to give space for care, for tending, and for things to settle.

This work has always been about more than sessions.

It’s about presence, care and meeting what is here, as it is 🌿.

This is something I see come up again and again…

women who genuinely want things to change
who are trying
who care

but keep finding themselves back in the same patterns

Not because they’re not capable

but because they’re doing it alone
in the same environment
with the same pressures around them

And willpower only carries you so far

At some point, something needs to hold you steady
while things begin to shift

That’s usually where real change starts 🌿

There’s a particular kind of frustration that comes from knowing exactly what would help you…

and still not doing it

Not because you don’t care
Not because you’re lazy

But because something keeps pulling you back
into the same patterns

I wrote about this in my newsletter yesterday… and someone reached out to say:

“I needed this. I’d really like some support.”

That’s the thing.

Sometimes it’s not more information we need
it’s support to actually stay with what we already know

If this feels like you…

you’re welcome to reach out

No dramatic announcement.
No outrage.

Just this.

A few days ago, on my birthday, someone broke off and took our sign from this frame.

Then later in the week, I missed the race pack collection for the Surfers Challenge 10km in East London — a race I had been really excited to finally participate in.

Neither the birthday disappointment nor the missed race pack collection became a qualifying statement on my worth.

I stood here and looked at the empty frame. I felt the sting of it. And then I felt something else too — a steadiness that didn’t need the sign to validate what it represents.

Not everything that is taken from us requires a reaction. Sometimes it simply asks us to notice what remains.

That quiet steadiness became this week’s Calm Connection Newsletter reflection — about clearing without collapsing, about the reserves we build, about the difference between reacting and remaining.

If you’re curious about your own pattern when things don’t go to plan, I created a short reflective quiz that might help you see yourself more clearly.

Full moon reflections go out at 10am.

Next weekend’s retreat with moms and teen daughters reminds me of something powerful:
We don’t just need connection with each other - we need reconnection with ourselves. 🌿 The moments with the horses, the laughter, the quiet reflection…they all show how healing it is to slow down and listen inwardly. You don’t need a full retreat to start that process - sometimes it begins with a single gentle step. Take The Self-Priority Compass Quiz - it’s a quick way to see what’s really draining your energy and how to refill your cup again. 💛Link in Bio.
