Soulfull Living Academy: Training & Retreats

Where are you overriding yourself?

Maybe you say yes when you really want to say no?

You second-guess a choice that initially felt right.

You automatically put someone else’s needs ahead of your own.

Or you look outside yourself for reassurance instead of trusting what you already know.

These can seem like tiny, everyday moments.

But when they happen often enough, it can become harder to hear your own needs, trust your choices and stay connected to your own inner strength.

So I’ve created a new free live online experience:

💜 Reclaim Your Inner Strength
📅 Wednesday 23 September
⏰ 7pm
✨ Around 50 minutes

Through guided reflection, journalling and meditative drumming, I’ll help you pause, turn your attention back towards yourself and reconnect with what feels true and right for you.

You don’t need a drum or any previous experience.

It’s simply 50 minutes to stop, listen inwardly and give some attention back to you.

It’s free - you’ll find the registration link in the comments below 👇
or in my link in bio page :)

Are you joining me?

There will be a recording if you can't join me live - just register and I'll send it out to you.

p.s - can't join me live? no problem, there will be a recording sent to everyone who has registered

Who else was awake for the eclipse at 3:30am? 🌕😂

I dragged myself out to have a look and I’m glad I did.

It was pretty cloudy here but I manage to catch the first slither of the eclipse starting, though my phone wouldn’t pick it up 😂

There’s something special about seeing these things for yourself rather than just reading about them afterwards.

Sitting in the dark, soaking up the moonlight 😍

Did you manage to see it where you are?

Share pics of you did 🙏

“I know what helps me. I’m just not doing it.”

I hear versions of this so often, and say it myself!

We read the books, do the courses, learn the practices, know we need more rest, more space, better boundaries, more time outside, more time to ourselves…

And then everyday life gets in the way.

So rather than giving you something else to learn, I created Come Back to Yourself.

It’s a free 20-minute guided drumming experience designed to give you a little space to pause, listen inwardly and notice what might be asking for your attention.

You don’t need a drum. You don’t need to be “good” at meditation.

You just need somewhere comfortable and 20 minutes for yourself.

✅ It’s free. Tap the button below to get access ⬇️

I’d love to know what you notice. 💜🥁

A lovely tribute to Dolly Parton 💔

When a Light Leaves the Circle

My relatives…

Today, the world lost Dolly Parton.

Many will remember the rhinestones.

The unmistakable voice.

The laughter.

And the songs that somehow became part of our own lives.

But I find myself thinking about something quieter.

A woman born into poverty
who never became ashamed of where she came from.

A woman who reached some of the highest places in this world
and still remembered the children
who had very little.

She understood that a song could accompany someone through sorrow.

That laughter could soften a difficult day.

And that placing a book into the hands of a child
could open a door long after she was gone.

Dolly Parton became famous because the world saw her.

But she remained beloved
because she never stopped seeing the world.

She saw working people.

Struggling families.

Children with dreams larger than their circumstances.

She saw those who felt different
and somehow made room for them without demanding
that everyone become the same.

In a time when so many people build their names
by dividing others…

Dolly built hers by bringing people together.

Not through arguments.

Not through anger.

But through warmth.

Humor.

Music.

And kindness.

She once said that her songs would be her legacy.

And perhaps they will be.

But legacy is not only what carries our name.

It is what continues working
after we are no longer here.

It is every child who opened a book
because she believed imagination mattered.

Every person who found comfort in one of her songs.

Every woman who saw that she could be intelligent, strong, generous, and entirely herself.

Every human being who was reminded
that humility does not require us to make ourselves small.

The measure of Dolly Parton’s life
was not simply how brightly she shone.

It was how much of that light
she chose to give away.

Tonight, one voice has grown quiet.

But the songs remain.

The stories remain.

The laughter remains.

And somewhere tonight…

a child will open a book
that arrived because Dolly Parton remembered
what it was like to begin with very little.

That, my relatives…

is how a person becomes an ancestor.

Not by refusing to leave.

But by placing something loving into this world
that continues walking after them.

Journey well, Dolly.

May you find Carl waiting for you.

And may the love you gave so freely
now surround you.

Êkwa.

Walk gently.
