If there’s one message that keeps coming back to me again and again and again that I want to share again and again and again, it’s this…

To slow down. To pay more attention to your body, your mind, your soul, your surroundings, your environment, your tasks. Whatever is going on in your day, slowing down, being gentle, giving yourself space between things. All of this really helps to regulate our nervous system and reminds us we don’t need to be rushing around as if we’re always in a panic and a rush, and we’re late, and we’ve got too much to do!

And I know that those days happen. And I know that everyone’s lives are different. A different amount of busyness, a different amount of responsibilities. I get that. And I’m not saying that some days I don’t notice that I’m rushing around and I’ve crammed too much in and I’ve got too much on. But I’m talking about a gentle way of leading your life.

So yeah, there are times when you’re going to be late and you’re rushing, or you’re stuck in traffic, and you’re stressed because you’re going to be late for work and the kids are playing up and you’re rushing around the house. All of that stuff is life, right? That’s life.

Get curious about what it would be like if the most present part of us knew that it was safe to slow down. To really enjoy that cup of coffee in the morning, to really enjoy the food we are eating, to really enjoy that walk that we’re going to go on, to really enjoy spending time with our kids, our friends, our partners, not to take anything for granted, but to savour all the moments we can really. To prioritise our rest. We’re not here to be constantly productive, doing, and busy. We’re also here to be present, to connect to our intuition, to be in tune with the rhythm of nature and our own nature and natural rhythm.

If you’re ready to invite some slowness and awareness into your days, comment MIDLIFE and I’ll send you my free Midlife Compass Guide. I think you’ll be glad you did!

Repeat after me until you believe this…

I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic, I am the magic. ✨

Where are all the fellow tarot reader learners? If you know one, or you are one, I’d love to connect! I’ve been interested in tarot for ages. Got myself some cards, but they didn’t feel right. I didn’t feel drawn to pick them up regularly and begin. But eventually. I got round to getting a set that I absolutely adore and love. And that’s made such a difference. Even if it’s just once a day or a couple of times a week, I make sure I connect with my cards. But there’s a lot to learn, isn’t there? There’s a lot to learn. And it all makes sense, so I’m just taking my time with it. I’m just having fun! 🤩 It’s good to learn new things, especially for a midlife, brain-fogged woman who’s doing what she can 🤣

Her image is so iconic. And I do grapple with wondering how she would feel if she were still alive today, knowing how her images are continuing to be such a well-known part of our Western culture. That her career did not die with her, but her legacy continues. And that all these decades after her passing, people are still going to galleries to see her captured in moments in time, in various states of beauty. She didn’t have the best start in life, and she also had confidence and self-knowledge of her skills and capacity. How she held herself behind the camera. Every single time. She was a natural; she was gifted. And this post is my way of honouring her. And remembering that powerful women have existed and continue to exist. Thanks to
for such a thoughtful and beautiful exhibition of her.

Live for the moment, folks!

The more present you can be, the more beauty and abundance you can experience.

Keep your head up, breathe well and appreciate everything you can.

Even on your crappy days and in tough times, do what you can.

Life isn’t perfect. Life isn’t a practice run. Life is super precious.

Live in the now, for that is all we truly ever have.

The past is memories. The future is imagination.

So what does your good girl manual say?

Mine says. Don’t rock the boat. Stay quiet. Stay small. Be conflict-avoidant. Prioritise everybody else and their needs above your own. Feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions.

And I’m really tired of feeling like this is the only way to exist. Because it’s not. And the way I began to change this, to rip this manual up, and rewrite my own, for me, and my life, was about... waking up, becoming aware, seeing these patterns, and internalised ways of being, this conditioning that gets quietly handed down to us. We’re young when it happens. We don’t have a clue. It’s passed down through generations.

Midlife is a time when we’ve done a lot of adulting; we’ve made mistakes, we’ve failed, we’ve got things wrong. We’ve lived, we’ve learnt stuff. We’ve become ready now. To slow down. To notice.

So when you begin to see your good girl conditioning, when you begin to start reading what your good girl manual says, you can’t unsee it. You can’t unread it.

My invitation to you is to simply be aware. Go about your day, thinking about the words you use, the language, things people say to you, the behaviours that you have; just start to gently get curious about how it’s showing up in your life, because only then can you begin to rewrite your manual, so that you’re living your life so much more authentically.

You can still be kind; you can still be awesome and brilliant.

But no one lives an authentic, abundant, extraordinary life by playing it small and playing by those crappy rules that were given to you in the good girl manual.

Go forth, my love. Ripping up the pages of your manual one by one. We’re in this together.

Several years ago now, and for a long time, I felt like I was running after a helium balloon that was always just out of reach.

I was trying so hard to grab onto it. Hoping things could be different.

Then I hit the darkest days of my life, when things beyond my control just took over. Infertility. Cancer treatment. Divorce.

But somehow, inner strength and courage found me when I needed them most. I believe those qualities exist in all of us, even when we can’t feel them.

My progress through that chapter was slow, and definitely not a straight line. In amongst all the chaos, I had what I’ll call a spiritual awakening. My mindset shifted, my beliefs shifted, and slowly I grew new roots to help me build a different life.

If you’re in the middle of your own unravelling right now, that messy midlife, I want you to know the awakening can come from suffering. From grief. It sounds a bit woo-woo, maybe it is, but it’s my truth. And it could be yours too.

So the story goes…

You need another course, training, system, program…

Another way to become a better version of yourself. To find a ‘solution’ as though you’re broken, failing, and need fixing somehow.

And so it goes on…

But what if, in searching, you’re always searching and striving for something outside of yourself?

As though you’ve forgotten your own healing powers and strength. That’s reclaiming the story. Reclaiming the parts of yourself that’ve been hidden underneath the years of conditioning and living in patriarchal systems.

My love, what if you’ve simply spent so many years caring for everyone else that you’ve lost sight of yourself?

My work isn’t about giving women more.

It’s about creating shifts that help them remember who they’ve always been.

You might think people pleasing is just about... being nice. And obviously, the very term says you want to please others. Okay, got that.

But look more closely at people pleasing, it might be seen as trying to manage others into bypassing difficult emotions.

You don’t want to upset them, anger them, let them down, or disappoint them. Sometimes for fear of what might happen.

And when you were little, when you didn’t have a voice or the choices, as you do as an adult, people-pleasing became a way of surviving, of coping. You might have gotten really good at needing to do that.

You had to take on a the impossible responsibility of managing the emotions of others.

But to step into the power of being the badass woman that you are on this planet to be, you need to know, to trust yourself, that it’s okay. If not everybody likes us, it’s okay. If we disappoint someone, it’s okay.

It’s not on us to manage someone else’s emotions.

It’s on us to be responsible, to be honest, to be kind.

People-pleasing might feel safe and familiar, but the true cost is you, it’s yourself.

It’s saying yes when you mean no.

It’s saying okay when something isn’t.

It’s the tension between what you truly want and need and somebody else’s wants and needs.

The cost of people-pleasing day in, day out, week in, week out, year in, year out, is exhausting.

You’re not being you. You’re being a version of yourself that you think you need to be to keep everyone else happy.

My love, you are not put on this earth to keep everyone else happy.

Nothing changes. Unless something changes.

So, how about, within the next day, you look for one time, an opportunity, where you can say something differently. Where you can word something differently. Something that leans towards supporting and caring and saying yes to yourself instead.

Learning to trust it’s ok to have dreams and goals and a life that’s yours. Comment Midlife for a 7-day reset to realign your compass to your north star.
