The week that was 🌞💙🌿🥰

A reminder that it does not need to be over complicated.

Reducing the mental and physical load where we can.

Returning to the wisdom of nature.

To engage with fresh air, sunlight, water.

To reset.

Reconnect.

Renew.

Did this image catch your attention? How? What did you sense in your body?

Hang on though.. let's back up a bit for context.

You see, there is a moment in autumn when the trees stop trying to hold on. 🍂

Leaves loosen.
The air shifts.
What has been clung to all summer quietly falls away.

Nature reminds us that letting go is not failure.
It is part of the cycle.

And yet many of us were never taught how to release what we carry.

The tension.
The anger.
The exhaustion of always being the strong one.
Never letting our guard down.

At our Autumn Seasonal Women’s Circle Retreat this Saturday, we’ll explore gentle ways to shake, shift and reset — allowing the body to release what it no longer needs to hold.

Together we will move, breathe, journal, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within us, including the part that knows how to set boundaries, speak truth, and reclaim space.

The part some call the Wild Woman.

Not wild as in chaotic — wild as instinctive, honest, embodied and deeply alive.

She has so much wisdom for us if we are willing to be curious and listen.

If something inside you feels the quiet pull of this season, I would love for you to join us.

Sometimes the most powerful work isn’t learning a new strategy or breathing technique.

It’s learning to listen.

So many of us have been taught to override our bodies — to push through discomfort, doubt our instincts, or look outside ourselves for the “right” answer.

I talk to women all the time who are so used to outsourcing their knowledge and power, looking for the right professional or coach to "fix" their problem.

But nervous system work gently reminds us of something different.

It reminds us that;

🌿Your body carries wisdom.
🌿Your responses make sense in context.
🌿And when given safety, space, and curiosity… your system naturally moves toward balance.

Not by force.
But by unfolding.

This is the work I witness again and again with the women I support and it is why I find such value in somatic therapeutic modalities such as;

🔸Parts Therapy
🔸Mindfulness-based therapies
🔸Trauma Sensitive Yoga
🔸Inner Relationship Focusing
🔸Somatic Experiencing.and many more.

Your system isn’t broken.
It’s intelligent.

And we need to go gently as we learn and remember it's language.

If you are interested in this type of work, you might like to head to the link in my bio or my website www.mindfullycurious.org to explore which offerings could support you.

And a reminder that the next Seasonal Women's Circle/Retreatis coming up on Saturday 21st March focusing on the theme of Autumn 🍂 3 spots remaining.

I look forward to connecting soon.

Last week I went on a little adventure with my son and friends.

I drove a bit further than usual.
Unfamiliar roads.
A new place.
Free activities.
Chasing waterfalls.
Spotting different animals.

Nothing extravagant.
But different.

And different matters.

When we do something novel — even small — our brain lights up. 🌿

New environments stimulate dopamine (the motivation and curiosity chemical).

We build confidence simply by navigating the unfamiliar.

Our nervous system learns: I can handle new things 🙌💃

We create new memories that aren’t just “work, home, repeat.”

For many of the women I work with, life can feel chaotic, busy and yet.. mandane (sometimes without realising it but cue irritability and fatigue, t9 name a few).

Same routes.
Same routines.
Same mental loops.

And whilst routine can feel regulating (and sometimes it is), too much sameness can quietly dull us.

Novelty — in safe, supported doses — expands our window of tolerance. 🌻

It builds resilience.
It brings play back online.
It reminds us we are capable.

It doesn’t have to be dramatic or expensive.

A new walking track.
A different café.
A class you’ve never tried.
A conversation you’ve been avoiding.

Small adventures count.

And sometimes doing something different is even more powerful when you’re held in community.

If you’re craving something new — something nourishing, grounding and expansive — our next Seasonal Women’s Retreat is coming up on Saturday March 21, 1pm -4pm at Sutherland 🧘‍♀️🍂

An afternoon to step out of your usual rhythm.

To reconnect with your mind and body.

To gently expand.

To be supported.

Consider this your invitation to do something different 🌿😊😁

There are just 3 spots left to claim— book via the link below 👇♥️

Over the weekend I went to float therapy.

Float therapy is often marketed as "calm", "relaxing", "effortless surrender" or dare I say, "bliss".

There is also more research building about it's support with reducing stress, anxiety, depression and PTSD symptoms and even helping those with chronic pain.

Instead though… I felt overstimulated.

The silence felt loud.
The weightlessness felt unfamiliar.
My body didn’t melt — it braced.

And here’s what I want to say, especially to the women I work with:

This is not failure.
This is a nervous system doing its job.

When something feels unfamiliar or uncontained (particularly if there has been a cumulation of stressors beforehand), even if it’s meant to be “relaxing,” our system can interpret it as unsafe.

In that moment floating, for me, felt too boundary-less at first. Too close to dissociation for my liking.

Cue: window of tolerance awareness (unsure what that is, head to my pinned post 📌)

So instead of forcing myself to relax, I made some different choices.

🌿I chose a combination of music and silence for my treatment
🌿 I pressed my hands and feet into the corners of the bath.
🌿 I created edges by sitting rather than laying down
🌿 I stretched gently
🌿 I slowed my exhale

I gave my body containment before asking it to surrender to weightlessness.

And in the final 10 minutes… something shifted.

Not because I overrode myself.

But because I built safety first.

This is the work.

We don’t command calm.

We create the conditions for it.

So if you’ve ever tried to meditate, rest, float, or “just relax” and found yourself more activated — please know:

You may not need more discipline.
You may need more containment.

Safety before surrender.
Edges before expansion. 🌻

Your nervous system isn’t a problem to fix.
It’s a relationship to build 🌿

This is the work I am SO passionate about here at MC - the intersection between nervous system support, relational dynamics and identity development.

Welcome, welcome to the New Year! We made it and yet if it is still feeling foggy, unclear or you are still finding your feet that is more than ok.

Dare I say, necessary even.

As I was visioning for MC yesterday, I pulled a card for the MC collective asking what is important for us to know or consider this year.

Perhaps it speaks to you..

If not (as always) let it go.

And, of course, if you would like some Psychology support this year to find your courage, to have a witness to your self honesty, I am here 🌿😊

Online and in person sessions available and I am accepting new referrals.

Link in bio or head to www.mindfullycurious.org/psychology for all the info.

I look forward to connecting soon!
