The Invitation. A gentle call to return home to yourself
There are moments in life when something stirs within us, a whisper from deep inside that says, slow down, soften, listen. Last night, as I sat in circle with the women of my Consciously Female Club, I felt that whisper move through the room like a sacred breeze. These women, each of whom I’ve journeyed alongside for years, are not chasing careers or crafting business plans. They are not striving to “become” anything other than what their souls are quietly, insistently callin

Yesterday felt like a homecoming.
After almost seven weeks of a horrible virus that forced me inward, the fog finally lifted four days ago and with it, something inside me began to reawaken. I stepped out of my everyday rhythm and into a wonderland woven with friendship, presence, beauty and quiet sacredness. I met my friend Janis at the Edinburgh Botanics, a soul-friendship of thirteen years, born on the 5Rhythms dance floor. Through movement, breath, and long walks in nature, we have grown together, witness

The feminine principles of expansion, presence and soul lead living. It's a practice!
Last night at my CF Women's Circle, we explored 12 Divine Feminine Principles, the living, breathing practices that shape the way a woman moves with ease through her everyday life. As the women spoke, I found myself reflecting on my own life and how profoundly life changes when we stop living from a place of pressure, expectation and obligation and instead we begin living from our inner fullness, the voice of our intuition and a practice of self-honour.

Stepping Into Your True Self in 2026 A Re-Set
As we step into 2026, we do so at the close of the Year of the Snake, a year that has asked us to shed skins we have quietly outgrown. 2025 was a year where we were asked to review identity, habits, relationships, roles, and emotional strategies that once worked for us, but now feel too tight and uncomfortable to live inside. The habits we formed throughout our life may no longer be what allows us to truly thrive now. And this is where the life Re-Set begins. Not as a resolut

The Moon and Me
I’ve often wondered why I am drawn so intensely to the moon. Not in a casual, admiring way but in a way that feels magnetic, bodily, undeniable. Tonight the pull feels stronger than usual. I catch myself stopping, looking up, pausing mid-thought as if something inside me is responding before I’ve had time to ask why. Why this light? Why this quiet presence in the sky? Why does it move me in a way so few things do? The pull is so powerful. As I stand under it tonight, I realis

When Loving to Give Isn't the Problem but the Lack of Boundaries Is
There was a period in my life when I had no boundaries at all. Not because I was weak, not because I was unaware but because I genuinely loved helping people and making them happy. This is who I am. It brings me purpose, connection, fulfilment and meaning. If someone was in pain, I wanted to be there. If someone was struggling, I wanted to support them. If someone needed guidance, I opened my heart and offered everything I had. I don’t regret a minute of that chapter. I loved
