Reflecting on the passing of a truly beautiful human being.

A woman whose kindness touched so many hearts.

Whose compassion seemed unending
Whose wisdom was generous
Whose grace was simply part of who she was.

I feel incredibly grateful to have crossed paths with her and to have experienced some of that kindness and wisdom for myself.

She has now earned her angel wings🕊️

My heart is with those closest to her.
For those who are now left with an enormous sense of loss.
That feeling of "How do I navigate life now that she is no longer here?"

There are no easy answers to that.

And perhaps, for those who loved her, there is simply the need to allow whatever comes.

The sadness
The emptiness
The anger
The memories
The love.

Because when someone has touched our lives so deeply, the emotions that come with their absence are part of the connection too.

Perhaps we honour them by giving those feelings space
By allowing ourselves to feel the depth of what they meant to us.

Because . . . sometimes, feeling the grief is simply another expression of love.

Fly high, beautiful soul 🪽

Thank you for the kindness, wisdom, and grace you shared with the world.

You touched more hearts than you will ever know.

You can read everyone else in the room . . . before they've said a word . . . and still have no idea what's happening inside you.

You notice when someone's mood shifts.
You know when your partner / child / work colleague is annoyed before they say anything
You're the one people come to because you "get them"

Ask how you are, though . . . and "fine" comes out automatically . . . and you genuinely don't know if it's true.

You can walk into a room calm and walk out anxious . . . and you have no idea it was never even yours to begin with.
You over-explain in conflict
You avoid confrontation like it's a physical threat
You've been called "too sensitive" by people who have no idea they're the source.

Here's what's actually going on . . . in Human Design, this often points to an open Solar Plexus centre . . . a system so tune to the room that it reads everyone else's emotional weather fluently, while its own internal world quietly becomes background noise.

You're not emotionally unstable
You're a mirror with no filter
The question was never "what is everyone else feeling" . . . but "are these emotions mine . . . or someone else's emotions?" . . . and that takes practice.

Emotions are not in your head.
And no . . . I don't mean metaphorically.

For centuries, Western science has treated the mind and body as separate.
The mind thinks
The body reacts. . . and emotions?
Well . . . they've largely been treated as something happening in the brain.

I recently learned about Dr Candace Pert . . . a molecular biologist and neuroscientist, not a therapist . . . and her research explains much of what I see in my business.

Her research challenged how we understand the relationship between the brain, the body and emotions.

In the 1970s, she identified the op**te receptor . . . a major discovery in how the nervous system processes signals like pain and pleasure. From there, she went on to study neuropeptides . . . the chemical messengers that travel throughout the body . . . and the receptors they communicate with.

Here's what gets interesting . . . those receptors weren't confined to the brain . . . they were found throughout the entire body . . . . glands, organs, immune cells. Dr Candace Pert called these neuropeptides "molecules of emotion"

Sit with that for a moment.

So . . . maybe emotion isn't something that happens in your head and then gets sent down to your body.
Maybe your brain and your body are having the same conversation, at the same time.

What fascinates me . . . is this idea is not new.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda have viewed emotional and physical states as interconnected for thousands of years.
🧘‍♀️ Different language
🧘‍♀️ Different framework
The same underlying premise . . . the emotional and physical were never fully separate.
Centuries later, science is catching up.

Maybe we're not discovering the mind-body connection . . . maybe we're rediscovering it.

Think about your own experiences.
You know when you're safe . . . yet still feel your chest tighten
You understand something happened years ago . . . yet still feel your stomach respond the moment you're reminded of it
You tell yourself "I'm fine"
. . . and have your body telling you something else entirely.

Pert put it simply: "Your body is your subconscious mind. It cannot be fooled."

To be clear . . . this doesn't mean anxiety is literally stored in your stomach, or grief literally lives in your heart. It means something much more interesting:

Your emotional experiences involve your whole body.

The thing is . . . we still tend to separate them.

We analyse our thoughts
We try to understand what happened
We look for the reason we're reacting the way we do.
And . . . sometimes that information is useful

But . . . knowing why you feel something doesn't always change how it feels.

Maybe that's why you can talk yourself out of a feeling . . . and still feel it anyway.

You never know how you feel about something in the moment.
You know days . . . or even months later.

Quick, on-the-spot decisions are not your jam. Choosing to give yourself time is key for you . . . your design was never built for “now”.

Can we talk about something for a second?

A lot of us grew up learning that showing our emotions wasn't safe. Maybe home was tense, maybe it was unpredictable . . . so you got very good at hiding / squashing those emotions.

Then life just . . . kept confirming it.
School taught you to sit still and keep it together.
Work taught you that "professional" means composed, unbothered . . . fine . . . always "fine".

As a result . . . a whole lot of us are walking around having never been taught how to notice what we feel, let alone name it or let it move through us.

Today . . . here's a reminder to:
Notice the emotion(s)
Name the emotion(s)
Allow the emotion(s)
Listen to the emotion(s)

That's it . . . the whole practice.

If "fine" is your default setting . . . you don't have to do it alone.

This is literally the work I do . . . through Timeline Therapy, we go back and release the excess emotions that have been stored for years. . . and paired with everything else I do . . . you will walk away having the ability to recognise emotions, name them, feel them and listen to what they're telling you.

What does growth look like to you?

Not sure whether you've watched Ted Lasso, are currently watching it . . . or have somehow managed to avoid it altogether . . . (to tell the truth, I avoided it for a couple of years . . . but I'm really glad I made the choice to start watching the show).

Watching one of the main characters, Roy Kent grow . . . has me thinking about what growth actually looks like.

Real growth isn't becoming a different person.
It's more about becoming aware of yourself.

Understanding your patterns
Recognising what drives your reactions
Creating a little space between what you feel and what you do.

You can still be grumpy
Still get frustrated
Still have big feelings

You're still you.
Just with more awareness, more choice and a little less of the old conditioning running the show.

Honestly . . . this is where the magic happens.
