Dear woman,

I know how easily you can find compassion for everyone else.

You can see their hurt beneath the anger. Understand why they’ve withdrawn. Sit beside them while they fall apart.

But when it’s you, the words are different.

You should know better.
You’re too much.
What is wrong with you?

Sometimes that voice is so familiar you don’t even hear how harsh she’s become. She speaks before you’ve had a chance to understand what hurts.

And sometimes that harshness spills onto the people you love. Seeing it can be painful, especially when you’ve tried so hard to do things differently.

You can own that. Apologise. Listen to how it felt for them. Learn another way.

And you can ask what was happening inside you, too.

What had you swallowed?
Where did you need help?
What were you afraid would happen if you said, “I can’t hold this”?

The parts of you that have been outside your awareness need your attention. You’re allowed to approach them with curiosity, even when what you find is uncomfortable.

You don’t have to call yourself a terrible woman every time you discover something that needs to change.

You deserve some of the patience you give so freely.

Some of the understanding.
Some of the softness.
Some of the love. 🤍

F*ck ordinary. ❤️‍🔥

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you are allowed to want a life that feels so wildly, ridiculously, breathtakingly beautiful that it almost seems too good to be true.

And you’re allowed to actually HAVE it.

The love that feels like the stars and galaxies aligned just for you.

The friendships that feel like you’ve found your people across a thousand lifetimes.

The work that sets your soul on fire.

The home filled with laughter, chaos, tenderness and the freedom to be exactly who you are.

The adventures. The abundance. The slow mornings. The spontaneous decisions. The moments that make you stop and think, holy f*ck, this is my life.

But here’s the thing…

You have to be willing to stop negotiating with the life you no longer want.

Stop shrinking your desires to fit what feels reasonable.

Stop waiting for permission to change your mind.

Stop convincing yourself that wanting more means you’re ungrateful for what you already have.

You can be deeply grateful for your life AND wildly excited about everything you haven’t experienced yet.

You weren’t born just to manage your way through existence.

You came here to LIVE.

To love outrageously. To create boldly. To experience deeply. To feel it all.

And no, you don’t have to know exactly how it’s all going to unfold.

But you do have to be willing to believe that something different is possible, and start making choices that honour it.

So consider this your invitation to stop waiting for a life that sets your soul on fire and start creating one.

Because beautiful things don’t only happen to other people, babe.

They get to happen to you, too. 🌙✨

A little over three years ago, I was setting up for my very first women’s circle… in my cake studio of all places. 🫢😂

Looking back now, I think a part of me always knew there was something more waiting for me, even if I had absolutely no idea what that would look like.

At the time, I was still building my cake business, completely unaware of just how much my life was going to change.

The women I would meet. The friendships I would form. The parts of myself I would rediscover. The things I would create. And the woman I would become along the way.

I think that’s what I love most about looking back. Sometimes the little things we’re drawn to are quietly laying the foundations for a life we haven’t even imagined yet.

And goodness, if that version of me could see my life today. 🥹❤️

She’d be so bloody proud.

And a little thank you to .elizabeth for capturing this moment all those years ago. 🥹 I don’t think either of us could have realised just how significant this little piece of footage would become to me. What felt like an ordinary moment then feels like such a beautiful reminder of where it all began. ❤️

So here’s your reminder to look back every now and then. Not just at how far you’ve come, but at all those little moments when you were unknowingly planting the seeds for the life you’re living now.

Sometimes we’re already becoming who we’re meant to be, long before we realise it. 🌸

One of the hardest parts of my own healing has been realising that it wasn’t just about acknowledging what happened to me. It was about being willing to look at how those experiences had shaped the way I moved through the world.

How I loved. How I protected myself. How I reacted when I felt unsafe. How I tried to control things when life felt uncertain. And perhaps the hardest part of all, how those patterns had sometimes affected the people I love most.

For a long time, I carried so much shame around those parts of myself that I couldn’t fully sit with them. And when we are drowning in shame, it can be incredibly difficult to see beyond our own pain.

But something has shifted in me.

I’m learning that I can have enormous compassion for the little girl who learned to survive, the maiden who was still searching for safety, and the wounded mother who was doing the best she could with what she knew.

While also taking responsibility for the woman who has carried those patterns into adulthood.

I can acknowledge that I was hurt without making that hurt my entire identity.

I can acknowledge where I’ve caused hurt without believing that makes me a bad person.

And I can sit with the impact of my experiences without allowing shame to swallow me whole.

Because awareness is only part of the process. We also have to be willing to understand what our patterns have been protecting, and what they may have cost us and those around us.

I think that’s where some of the deepest healing begins.

Not in blaming ourselves for what we didn’t know.

But in becoming willing to see what we couldn’t see before.

And choosing, with love and compassion, to do something different. 🤍

There comes a point where you realise that control was never really about having everything figured out.

It was about feeling safe.

About trying to predict the unpredictable, manage the unknown and protect yourself from things you never wanted to experience again.

And somewhere along the way, what once helped you feel safe began keeping you from fully experiencing life.

I’m learning that surrender isn’t about giving up my power.

It’s about recognising where my power actually lives.

In my choices. My boundaries. My responses. My willingness to trust myself, even when I don’t know what’s coming next.

Like the ocean, I’m learning that I don’t have to hold everything in place to be held.

Finding flow where once there was control. 🌊

Awareness is beautiful, but awareness alone doesn’t create change.
You can spend years recognising your patterns, noticing your triggers and becoming incredibly self-aware, yet still find yourself repeating the very behaviours you’re trying to move beyond.
Because somewhere along the way, those patterns served a purpose.
Perhaps they kept you safe.
Perhaps they helped you feel loved.
Perhaps they taught you how to belong, avoid rejection or maintain some sense of control in an environment where you had very little.
And this is the part I find so fascinating about the nervous system.
What looks like self-sabotage in adulthood may have once been an incredibly intelligent form of self-protection.
The work isn’t about shaming yourself for having these patterns. It’s about becoming curious enough to understand what they were protecting, recognising when they’re no longer needed, and gently creating the safety to choose differently.
Because you cannot shame yourself into the safety you were searching for when those patterns first developed.
And sometimes the greatest shift happens when you stop asking, “Why do I keep doing this?” and start asking, “What did this once do for me?”
That’s where compassion meets awareness. And where change becomes possible. 🤎

Here’s something I’ve come to understand through my own healing journey…

Sometimes we become so good at identifying our patterns that we forget to actually question why they’re there.

We know we people-please.
We know we struggle to surrender control.
We know we shut down, overthink, withdraw, or feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions.

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself what those behaviours were trying to protect you from?

Because these patterns didn’t just appear out of nowhere.

Somewhere along the way, your nervous system learned that certain behaviours helped you navigate your environment, maintain connection, avoid conflict or feel safe.

And what I find so fascinating is that we can carry these patterns into adulthood without ever being aware of them. But even when we become aware, we can spend years recognising the same patterns without actually changing them.

Because awareness is only one part of the process.

You can recognise that you people-please, but do you understand why disappointing someone feels so unsafe?

You can recognise that you need control, but do you understand what happened in your life that made uncertainty feel threatening?

You can recognise that you shut down during conflict, but do you understand why your body learned that silence was safer than expressing yourself?

And this is where I believe the deeper work begins.

Not in judging the behaviour, but in understanding the part of you that developed it.

Because you cannot change the past, but you can begin to recognise when an old protective response is still making decisions for the woman you are today.

And you can learn that you no longer need to respond to every situation from the same place you once needed to survive.

Healing isn’t just becoming aware of your patterns. It’s understanding why they exist, what they protected, and giving yourself the opportunity to choose differently. 🤍
