So we’re on DAY 8 of my SACRED AF retreat and truth be told… it was SACRED AF. It was MAGICAL AF. It was more than I can even put into words in just one post, and I know I need to actually go and PROCESS AND INTEGRATE it properly, because right now I’m also feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally DRAINED. And I’ve said it a few times, I really struggle to show up in here when I’m in this state. And within that, yeah, there have been waves of guilt, waves of fear about letting things go, waves of “should I be doing more” and all of that stuff that creeps in. But I just want to say that you are ALWAYS in my mind. MYM, the BACKROOM, my clients. Always. I paused all of my clients for one week, and for the next few days I’m heading to the beach to really ground myself, because this is actually my FIRST HOLIDAY IN TWO AND A HALF YEARS, and I need that space to come back into my body and back to… back to reality again. I’m totes really excited to be fully immersed back into these beautiful spaces towards the end of the week, with fresh energy and a clearer head. Let’s have a GORGEOUS WEEK. Lots of love. Thank you so much for your patience. Thank you for your support. And I’ll be sharing the full SACRED AF BALI stories very soon. And yes… the next retreat is in OCTOBER. 💛

SO HERE’S THE THING So I know I’ve already shared that I can’t be as present as I normally am, which I have been feeling a little bit of pressure about, but I’m not gonna keep harping on about that because HELLO, life is lifing. Instead I thought… what would be a really good way for me to still keep presence in this space without forcing myself to be everywhere all at once. So here I am, just telling you what’s actually going on, very much as it is, from the jungle, here in BALI. CONTEXT BECAUSE IT MATTERS DUH Yesterday, 13 beautiful ladies arrived on the SACRED AF retreat, which I’m running with my friend Lucy here in Bali, and honestly… oof. There has been a LOT of last-minute organising, and last week was hectic trying to run this online business, which I FUCKING LOVE, while also stepping into in-person retreats again after a long time. The venue is absolutely LUSH AF, tucked away in the jungle in Ubud, Bali, and when the women arrived, something just shifted straight away. CURRENTLY IN THE JUNGLE, FYI They all arrived, said their hellos, checked into their rooms, got welcome coconuts, we gave out personalised branded gift bags with water bottles and journals, and then we did a beautiful ceremony to make offerings to the Balinese gods. AND THIS PART FEELS TOTES IMPORTANT It was a brand new experience for most of them, and instantly the whole place felt grounded, safe, calm, and very held. There was a little bit of tiredness for me and Lucy, because hosting is A LOT, your eyes and ears are always on, you’re answering questions, holding space, running sessions, being present at all times, but me and Lucy have such a good balance working together, which honestly makes everything so much easier. FUNNY STORY TIME And here’s the funny bit. I met Lucy maybe six months ago here in Bali through a friend. We literally went for a beer together, and within TEN MINUTES we were like… “should we do a retreat?” And here we are. Actual real life. ANYWAY… BACK TO IT We did a few more bits last night, then the heavens opened, the rain poured, everyone was tired, and we all went to bed early.

when you are eating breakfast, for example, and yes, life is good, grateful all that stuff? But those uncontrollable tears just pop up out of nowhere, and you are like wtf is this (yes, I am having one of those ones)

Why am I posting this pic? Well, more, this little play on words, because it kept me awake all fricken night. I could not stop playing with words all night, so there you are, resting beach face. Init. (its out now, phew) That’s all.

I did say I would post in this experiment with the same content on my socials... well here we GO - this may pee some people off... Courtesy of ChatGPT = Fireworks impact on the planet (the unsexy bits no one puts on Instagram): • Air pollution Fireworks release fine particulate matter (PM2.5), heavy metals, and toxic gases. Air quality can spike dramatically for hours or days after major displays. • Heavy metals in the air Those pretty colours? Barium, strontium, copper, aluminium. They don’t vanish. They settle into soil, water, and lungs. • Water contamination Firework debris falls into rivers, lakes, oceans. Residue leaches into water systems and affects aquatic life. • Wildlife stress & harm Animals don’t understand “celebration.” Birds abandon nests. Pets panic. Wildlife gets disoriented, injured, or killed. • Microplastic fallout Casings, coatings, and fallout add to plastic pollution. Tiny bits. Everywhere. • Carbon footprint Manufacturing, transporting, and detonating fireworks = emissions for vibes. • Noise pollution Disrupts ecosystems, migratory patterns, and animal behaviour long after the boom stops. The uncomfortable truth bit: Fireworks aren’t the biggest environmental problem. But they’re one of the most unnecessary ones.
