Kind Time Studio with Sarah

Practical intuition for me doesn’t look mystical or perfectly curated. It looks like paying attention.

Some mornings that means easing into the day instead of forcing productivity. It means moving tasks around to match my energy rather than pushing through and ending up overwhelmed later. A walk with the dog. Fresh air. Letting my nervous system catch up with me.

Later in the afternoon, it looked like 20 minutes of meditation before heading back into the rest of the day. And apparently it also looked like sitting outside afterwards having a full scratch-and-pat fest with the dog until I’m absolutely covered in wet fur.

I’m learning that intuition is often less about huge life-changing moments and more about the quiet practical choices that help me feel grounded, regulated, and connected to myself. The more I stop and listening, the more I trust those small whispers. 🐾✨

The first sound healing that I got to experience blew my mind. I had been searching for an answer to why I felt so overwhelmed all the time. I’d seen the specialists, read, watched, listened to every bit of information I could but I was still wrung out. I felt completely defeated. Each day I was coming home from work and was so drained that when I was asked if I’d like a cup of tea, I’d just shrug my shoulders. I didn’t cry, I didn’t get angry. I was just done.

I ended up at a 3 day retreat, in a state of desperation and wandered into the sound healing session without much thought. It was exactly what I needed. It reminded me of my authentic self and that I could still connect to my body. Some people cried. I felt a sense of autonomy.

Maybe you have been feeling this way too. But you don’t have to sign up for a whole retreat, come along to my sound healing journey on the last sunday of the month and feel for yourself.

There comes a point in the month where everything can feel a little full. Not overwhelming in a loud way, but quietly heavy. The kind of feeling that sits in your body and asks for space.

This is a gentle invitation to pause.

You’ll be guided into rest through sound, stillness, and simple awareness. You don’t need to know how to switch off or arrive in a certain way. You can come exactly as you are and move at your own pace.

It’s a space to lie down, be held, and let your nervous system soften without needing to do anything at all.

If you’ve been feeling tired and you’re not quite sure why, or if you’ve been holding a lot beneath the surface, this is a place to land.

I’d love to welcome you in.

Details are on the final slide.

“No thank you” is enough. I don’t need to explain why I need to rest or justify my limits. Learning to leave things there has made so much more space for me to actually take care of myself.

Friendships take time. The ones that are right don’t need me to overextend or be anything other than who I am. When I look after my own needs, the right people seem to find their way in, often in places I didn’t expect.

There’s something I didn’t understand about myself back then that explains so much of this… I’ll share it next.

I have actively managed my mental health diagnosis since I hit puberty. Luckily I had a supportive family, money to access health care and early intervention. In saying that I have come close to losing the battle with my beautiful brain more than once. I wanted to give something back to the community to celebrate my birthday in June. This cause, 20hoursfor20talk met all my criteria and I hope you feel the same. Link in bio

Reaching goals takes time. Not just for me, for everyone. I used to push myself until I felt completely overwhelmed, like I had to keep going just to keep up. Things started to feel different when I let it unfold more gently. It turns out I didn’t need to rush to get where I was going.

Not every relationship is meant to be held onto. Some just aren’t healthy, and staying in them only takes more from you over time. Walking away can feel hard, but it can also be a quiet way of choosing yourself.

There’s more I’m still learning about energy, rest, and what I allow myself to say no to… I’ll share that next.

There’s a quiet kind of strength in choosing softness, especially in a world that often asks for urgency. Lately, I’ve been leaning into slower mornings, letting my body wake in its own time, stepping outside for mindful walks, and noticing the way warm light settles across the day. It hasn’t been about doing more, but about meeting each moment with a little more care, a little more presence.

This is what my heart has been asking for. Less pushing, more listening. Less noise, more noticing. And in that space, something gentle and steady begins to return.

How is your heart today? 🌅🧘🏼‍♀️💛
