There’s something about moving house that stirs up so much more than boxes.
As winter comes to an end and spring begins, I’m closing the door on a chapter that has shaped me in ways I never expected.
That apartment wasn’t just where I lived. It was the first home I ever bought on my own, long before I became a mum or found my partner. It was the last home I shared with my beautiful Lily, and the place where Blissful Palms was born during the uncertainty of COVID.
It holds so many memories, milestones, versions of myself and, of course, so many of you who trusted me with your bodies, your stories and your healing.
Leaving it behind has brought up emotions I didn’t quite anticipate. Gratitude. Pride. Sadness. Excitement. Relief. Grief. Hope.
The funny thing about change is that even when it’s something we’ve chosen, our bodies don’t always know the difference. New beginnings can sit alongside endings. Joy can exist alongside exhaustion. Excitement can arrive hand in hand with uncertainty.
And moving house is a perfect reminder of just how much big life changes can take out of us — physically, mentally and emotionally.
As I step into this next chapter, I’m feeling incredibly excited for what’s ahead, while also reminding myself to slow down, breathe and give my body time to catch up with everything that’s changing.
Because we often remember to look after ourselves when we’re struggling, but perhaps we need it most when life is changing around us.
As spring brings new growth and fresh beginnings, take a moment to check in with yourself too. What are you carrying that you’re ready to let go of? What might you need to make space for?
Sometimes caring for ourselves is simply giving our body permission to exhale.
That’s always been at the heart of Blissful Palms for me — creating a space to slow down, release what we’ve been holding, reconnect with our bodies and leave feeling a little lighter.
Here’s to endings that make space for beginnings, honouring the chapters that brought us here, and stepping into what’s next with a little more softness. 🌿
