“It’s a privilege to feel…”

I just ran the last in my four-event series of Permission to Pause retreat days. This time, we explored the theme of trusting ourselves.

These events weren't just about resting, finding calm and acting zen. They were about exploring how our relationship with ourselves changes when we allow ourselves to pause and really pay deeper attention to our human experience. And how it becomes so much easier to FEEL when we do that.

I’ve really noticed in 2026 that more people than ever seem to be finding out about somatic therapy, as an alternative to traditional talk therapy. Find out more about the 1:1 sessions I offer as a trauma-informed somatic practitioner.

Two years ago, I spoke onstage about pregnancy loss to 150 people at an International Women’s day event.

It’s so hard, so exposing, to put yourself out there in the most vulnerable way imaginable. But I knew in my gut I wanted to speak in front of that audience, and that I wouldn’t regret it.

Oh the joy of looking back at everything that’s happened this year, for me and The Loud Quiet ❤️ I loved creating this roundup video and remembering everything I’ve created, experienced, and all the wonderful people I’ve met.

I loved running my Come to Life course over October and November. We met three times a week over six weeks, for morning and evening sessions (and a bonus session in week 7). You can imagine that there was such a beautiful group energy that developed between us in that time.

This week, I was talking to a lovely breathwork class attendee about ADHD.

She’s been to numerous events of mine, and said she only realised from a recent social media post that I have ADHD, like her. She was surprised as I always seem so calm.

At one time, I would have felt like a fraud for this. Because inside, I would not have matched up with the front I was trying to put on for the world.
