Saw this pop up in my feed the other day and thought it was a beautiful reminder for our Wednesday. We can give so much of ourselves to our work, our partners, children, friends, family… often falling into the habit of outsourcing our sense of accomplishment and worth in things that exist outside of us.

So, my invitation for you is to turn your attention inward this week - be your own muse, love your own skin, validate your own existence.

What does it feel like to focus on you first for a bit? What does it feel like to be your first and foremost supporter? How differently would you view your actions if it was only your validation and approval that mattered?

Hello lovely I wanted to pop in here in these final weeks leading up to Christmas to say have a really nice break if it’s possible for you during this time. Really allow yourself time to do what feeds your soul (even if it’s for an hour at the end of a work shift, or half a day here and there).

It’s easy to get swept up in everybody else’s activities during this time, or to fall into patterns that come easy to you, because you haven’t given yourself the time or space to consider what else it could look like.

👉 So that’s my invitation for you – what do you want to experience these holidays? Where do you want to direct your time and energy heading into Christmas? What would feel good for you?

When you sit with these questions, what feelings come up for? Really let them land.

Now get a little more curious, what would it look like to honour these feelings – even just 5%?

For me, what feels good is making food to share with people. playing with fun recipes makes me feel warm and really centred during this time. To honour this (just 5%), I carve out time the day before Christmas, where I put on Christmas tunes, make myself a festive beverage, and spend time in my kitchen. It’s bliss and it feeds my soul.

Over to you - what does your 5% look like?

All my love,
Sarah x

Lovely musing for your Wednesday morning.

If you’ve been finding yourself resisting a change recently, or feeling the prickly fear that creeps in when facing something new - what could be possible if you relaxed and surrendered your energy a bit here? What opportunities could lie waiting for you that you haven't yet considered? 🤍

If your body was your child, how differently would you treat it?

This is a question I pose to my clients, because it’s so easy to take your body for granted. It’s easy to simply expect it to ‘work’ for you, to keep showing up and pulling you through, to keep loving you, regardless of what you think about it or do to it.

Would you push your child to the point of exhaustion every day when they’re already tired?

Would you….
Poke and squeeze them?
Say horrible, self-degrading things to them?
Allow them to sit all day without any form of movement?
Fill them up on foods that aren’t nutritious and ‘healthy’?
Tell them off for outgrowing their clothes as they grow older?
Find them unlovable because they look different to their peers?

Thinking of my body as someone I’m in a loving relationship with, and that I care for, helped me so much in shifting my perspective around accepting my body and creating the habits that truly serve me.

💛 So that’s my invitation for you – if you were to think of your body like your own child, how would you show up for it? What would you do differently?

Praise the woman…

I love this poem, as it reminds me of what’s possible when women are open to accepting one another, to hearing each other’s stories, to getting behind each other’s journeys, and holding more space for each of us to be fully seen in our own version of power.

Because I’ve been on both ends of the equation where the need to feel seen as worthy, capable, or enough meant one woman was pitched against the other. It didn’t feel good. I find women tend to be hardest on each other because as Joy Sullivan highlights – it’s just love knocked off balance. We tend to look for our (and others) sense of safety, love, and connection by using criticism, comparison, and competition…but what could be possible if we transformed this fierce criticism and competition against each other, into fierce camaraderie? What would that look like in our day-day lives?

👉 So, that’s my invitation for you this week:

- How can you praise the women in your life more? What would it look like to lift them up and support them?
- What difference do you feel this would make in your life, and the life of the women around you?
