Life doesn’t always give us permission to pause in-the-between. It usually demands that we figure it all out (fast) and that we move onto the next thing (also very fast).

There’s rarely time to sit with and process things at your own pace. 

But when you’ve moved through so much, it’s totally normal to ask yourself: “who the f am I right now?”

You’re not quite where you used to be and not quite sure where you’re going next.

There’s a very specific kind of disorientation that comes with being in between. A move, a shift in identity, a career pivot, or simply that quiet feeling of just feeling unsettled in this season of your life.

I don’t have all the answers but I wanted to do something and so I created a gentle, virtual space for anyone currently sitting in and with this. 

A free, monthly online gathering to steady ourselves in the uncertainty together, instead of being alone.

It’s one hour on Zoom. We ground ourselves and we write to a few gentle prompts. No cameras required. PJs welcome. 

We start on Thursday 17th September at 7 pm (BST) / 11 am (PDT), then meet on the third Thursday of every month.

I decided to make this a recurring, monthly space because real integration takes time. It’s never rushed and rarely happens in a single hour. It often comes from having a steady rhythm to return to. 

My hope is to create a soft, familiar group where you can show up repeatedly, recognise each other over time, and support one another through different seasons, no matter where you are in the world.

If this resonates with you, come take a sit with us. The link to save your spot is in my bio.

One month back in London, and if I’m honest, it’s been pretty tough settling back in.

London has been my home for nearly 12 years, and my brain still knows exactly how to navigate it. I haven’t forgotten that the Central Line is boiling in the summer, or exactly where to stand on the platform so the doors open right in front of the stairs. But while my body is physically here, my heart and mind are still trying to catch up. They’re half here, and half back in Seattle.

Closing a chapter isn’t as easy as shipping your boxes across an ocean. I am not the same person who left in 2023. I’ve been trying to play catch-up while adjusting to an old life that doesn’t quite fit the current me.

My time in Seattle was a bittersweet whirlwind. Out of the 3 years I spent there, I was only able to work for 1 because a visa change meant I lost my work permit. Facing something so massive that was entirely out of my control threw me into depression. Leaving felt rushed and full of unfinished business. It left me wondering what my career could have been there if I had the chance.

I lost my confidence more times than I can count. It was hard to get out of the funk and difficult to explain why doing more wasn’t an option when existing was already enough. On the outside I looked fine and functioning; on the inside it was a different story.

Noticing was what kept me going. Not the “grand, happy moments” but the small things. A squirrel burying nuts in our small yard, the local barista telling me Nitro and I belong together, eating croissants on the beach, and running downhill to my favourite tune. All those not-so-tiny moments meant so much to me. They reminded me that I was still there.

Not in a toxic-positivity way. In a way where you give yourself permission to simply notice, without doing anything else. To stay curious. To call it a day and start fresh tomorrow.

If you’re navigating a big transition, feeling caught between two worlds, or trying to figure out who this new version of you is: be patient with yourself while you find your feet. They are more than enough🪻

“…But if our pride is hard
to get hold of. As fickle
as wind and so tight round
your shoulders
you have to dig deep to keep
motion, I love you. For
all your complexity.

All your sore edges.
All your torn corners.
All the long nights when you
poured forth, split the dull granite
to raw quartz. Sure as the
morning but floored by the
same old ache that came
crawling. No judgement. Just
movement. Keep walking
towards it. You’re doing
it right. I’m all for you.”

Celebrating another year around the sun with these great words by Kae Tempest 🎂🎈🎉

Here’s to the difficult and courageous act of becoming more more ourselves in a complex world full of uncertainties and boxes to fit into.

To the road less travelled and all the beauty that’s still out there waiting for you 💜🪻

Repeat after me: you don’t need fixing. You just need a moment to pause and breathe, and scream, and cry and reflect and and and.

You need a moment to be just who you are in a world that constantly tells you that who you are isn’t good enough. Spoiler alert: IT IS!

I’m hosting ‘Design Your 2026’ with the wonderful Kim from and in partnership with because your 2026 doesn’t need more unsustainable goals and a new you (unless you want to, of course).

So, we’re ditching all the ‘new year, new me’ BS and creating a space for you to look back at 2025 with honesty and plan ahead with a powerful sense of direction.

Swipe through to see what we’re carrying forward together.

See you there 💜

“may the tide
that is entering even now
the lip of our understanding
carry you out
beyond the face of fear
may you kiss
the wind then turn from it
certain that it will
love your back
may you open your eyes
to water
water waving forever
and may you in your innocence
sail through this to that”
Blessing the Boats by Lucille Clifton

Here’s to a year that moves you gently, keeps your heart soft and your mind open. One that surprises you in small, beautiful ways and brings connection and comfort when you need them most 💜

You know the feeling. You finally get into bed after a long day and your brain suddenly lights up:

🌙 Replaying that awkward conversation
🌙 Listing everything you forgot to do
🌙 Questioning every life decision you’ve ever made

That’s exactly why I created a Bedtime Journaling series with .

Because I wanted to give you a simple way to clear your head before bed. No overthinking. No pressure. No complicated extra long bedtime routine.

This is gentle journaling that helps you unwind and sleep easier. And switch off. For real.

You don’t need to be a pro at journaling to make this work for you. 

Just grab a notebook and a pen, press play, follow my voice and let it all go.

Give your mind, body and heart some space to breathe. You’ve done enough for the day.

Start your bedtime journaling tonight and let’s gently close the day together.

One thought, one breath and one page at a time 💜

I’ve been working on something special with Kim since last year and I’m very excited to say that the Digital Wellbeing Library is finally live and yours to try!

This beautiful new space offers tools like hypnotherapy, breathwork, tapping, meditations, journaling and so much more without the overwhelm of subscribing to yet another app.

Once you download the Digital Wellbeing Library, you can try every session once for FREE and only buy what actually supports you.

The best part? Once you buy a session, it’s yours forever and is stored in your library to use whenever you need it.

Think of this as your personal wellbeing toolkit not just for the tough times but for when you want to feel good and enjoy life to the fullest.

I’ve created a series of bedtime journaling audios to help you switch off and sleep more peacefully.

This isn’t another thing to add to your to-do list but an opportunity to check-in with yourself before the day ends.

No pressure. No performance. No overthinking.

Each session is a gentle invitation to reflect, soften the load and make space for rest.

As a launch gift, the first 20 people to use the code WELCOMEFIVER will get £5 off any session.

I had so much fun creating these audios and I really hope that bedtime journaling can become one of your nighttime rituals too so you can wake up the next day feeling calmer, clearer and re-energised 💜

We often say we’re going for a walk, but more often than not, we carry our minds with us.

We’re caught up in thoughts, stories and never ending to-do lists.

Our walks become something we do not something we experience.

But what if, just for today, you chose to be fully present with each step?

I’ve shared 7 gentle prompts to help you practice mindful walking. If it feels accessible, try it out today.

No need to go far or stay out too long. Even a few minutes of intentional presence outdoors can be surprisingly grounding and nourishing.

Happy walking 🪻💜

“Whatcha gonna do with your precious life?”

I wanna be the one to walk in the sun and in all the different weathers and seasons.

I wanna be the one to talk less about what I’ve accomplished and what I haven’t done yet and more about what feels good for the heart.

I wanna be the one to see all the beauty that nature offers in the midst of so much pain.

I wanna be the one to hear closely to all my thoughts and feelings and never ignore what they tell me.

I wanna be the one to smell the freshly cut grass, the salty water, my pets’s fur, my loved one’s scents.

I wanna be the one to eat the whole pizza - and your crust too - and never regret it and still have space for dessert.

I wanna be the one to feel deeply all that there’s to feel and keep figuring things out as I go.

I wanna keep my eyes open and pay attention to the small things that make this life precious.

I wanna be more present for myself and for others. More connected and grounded but in quiet and gentle way. Less on social and more in real life.

I wanna breathe all the air there is to breathe. I wanna keep telling stories and stop standing in my way too much.

I really don’t know what I wanna do with the next 36 years of my life but I wanna keep being me and living. Always in the here and now 💜🎂🪻

“…If grief is love with nowhere to go, then
Oh, I’ve loved so immensely.
That summer, everything I touched
Was green. All bruises will fade
From green and blue to skin.
Let me grow through this green
And not drown in it.
Let me be lawless and beloved,
Ungovernable and unafraid.
Let me be brave enough to live here.
Let me be precise in my actions.
Let me feel hurt.
I know I can heal.
Let me try again - again and again.”
 
I’ve been doing some work on grief recently, on a personal and professional level, and this morning I came across ‘Greensickness’ by Laurel Chen and I had to share this excerpt - the whole poem is beautiful so go check it out.
 
In times of need, poetry always comes to the rescue. Reminding us of our humanity, stepping in as if to say: “you may not have the words for it, but I do.”
 
There’s someone out there who can say it for us, often better. How amazing is it to feel so seen? Words that resonate so deeply that can somehow bring unexpected closure.
 
Grief is complex, multi layered and non-linear. It doesn’t move seamlessly from one stage to the other, often it’s all mixed up. It never really goes away but it does change with time. And the way you’re able to deal with it changes too.
 
For many it feels like a wave - feelings coming out of nowhere. Sometimes you drown in them and sometimes you’re able to let them wash over you.
 
It’s universal yet so personal and it unfolds differently for each of us. It can feel uncertain, draining, overwhelming, terrifying and also, at times, comforting, grounding and heartening. Like when you find an old note at the very end of a drawer and you can’t help but smile. 

I keep reminding myself that I learn the theories and then I often have to throw them out of the window because it’s humans I’m dealing with and their stories and lived experiences are what matters to me the most.
 
What does feel true, meaningful and helpful to you and not what’s logical and by the book?
 
Your own timeline and your own way through 💜
