Somewhere today a woman is expressing milk in a toilet cubicle and pouring it down the sink, while her baby is given a bottle at nursery. She is doing it to protect her supply, to avoid mastitis, and because the alternative is stopping months before she wants to.

I felt very lucky. I was allowed to work from home while colleagues came in three days a week. I could feed my baby every time she needed me. But that was not luck. It was simply a decision, made by a person with the authority to make it, in my favour.

I wish that decision did not depend on who your manager happens to be.

I wish a woman asked to travel five months postpartum could say no without it costing her something.

I wish the room for expressing milk was a room, with a lock and a fridge, and never a toilet.

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, then continued breastfeeding to two years or beyond. Most workplaces are built as though none of that counts.

If you manage people, most of this is fixable within a week. Think a lockable room that is not a bathroom. A fridge. Time in the calendar that nobody books over. Travel that can be declined without a negative mark against her name. None of it requires a policy change or a budget line.

My wish is that I’m not the lucky one who got permission. My wish is for this to be ordinary.

[I may be late for but this holds every week of the year.]

At one point in my career I left engineering. Everyone thought I was mad for pursuing yoga and coaching - after everything it took to get there. A PhD, the years of studying, the proving of myself. I left.
I never felt like I failed. I left because I had lost touch with who I was underneath all of that.

What I found on the other side changed how I work, lead, and live. The full story is on the High Capacity podcast, now live. Link in bio.

8/8. Everyone is writing intentions today, hoping to manifest their dreams. Almost no one will be able to hold the room those intentions put them in.

First, the astronomy, because I work in space for a living and precision is a habit.

You will read that Sirius aligns with the sun today. In fact the two share the same ecliptic longitude in early July, and this year that fell on the 6th. They are also never close together in the sky. Sirius sits roughly 40 degrees south of the sun, so there is no alignment to observe on any date. What does happen in August is the heliacal rising, the first morning the star becomes visible again before dawn, and that depends on your latitude. The date has also been drifting for five thousand years. In ancient Egypt the rising fell near the summer solstice.

And intention was never your shortage. What happens is quieter than that. You name what you want, your body reads it as unfamiliar territory, which it is, and it steers you back toward the version of you it has already survived.

So here’s the process I use and recommend when setting an intention / wanting to “manifest” something, in this order.

Anchor. Feet down, exhale longer than the inhale.
Attune. Say it out loud and notice what your body does.
Acknowledge. Name every sensation, without shrinking any of it.
Accept. Stop negotiating with what you find.
Allow. Let it be there, and act anyway.

Nothing is added to you here. You do not perform a version of you who has not arrived yet. Layers come off, and what is underneath was always going to be enough.

Not more. Less. Simpler. Truer.

Comment RETURN and I will send you the practice I do to come home to my true Self.

With love, Rita 🤍

How did I land a job at the European Space Agency? I get asked all the time and the answer is definitely not what you would imagine!
I thought my interview was BY FAR the worst I’d ever done. I answered with “I don’t know” so many times, to the point I was sure I didn’t get the job.

They called me the next day to offer me the position.

The full story (+ my story from aerospace engineering to coaching and back to engineering, a full conversation on self-leadership, nervous system regulation as a leadership tool, motherhood, and so much more) is now live on the .podcast - Episode 474, link in bio.

Being fully yourself isn’t acceptable-it is
your
sacred
responsibility
to yourself, and to everyone whose life you touch.

When you give yourself permission to be authentic, honest, fully-expressed, whole you give everyone around you permission to do the same.

That is your Divine assignment: to just be you.

With love,
Rita 🤍✨
