Healing is about allowing yourself to feel, understand and release what is within you.

Because what you process can teach you.
What you suppress will often repeat itself, play out infront of you, through different people, situations and formats until it is finally acknowledged by you.

Feel it.
Process it.
Learn from it.
Let your emotions become wisdom, not patterns.🙌

August 31st....at last. What a month it has been energetically. No leaf or layer unturned or unravelled this month!!! Anyone else agree??? Roll on September🙌🍂✨️

August, you brought it all - the eclipse portals that tore through veils and masks, revealing the truth; the deep inner work that asked us to face what we had buried, set fire to what no longer aligned and meet ourselves more honestly.

You didn’t come gently.
You came to awaken, unravel and transform.

Fu***ng Notions

I believe that having a few fu***ng notions might be one of the best secrets to living a full life. It gets a mention every so often in the Women's Circle and in my sessions in Lámh Síoda Holistic Studio.

The notion that you can start again.
That you can change direction.
That you can fall in love.
That you can make something of yourself.
That you can do something that completely frightens the life out of you , but your heart tells you to keep going.

The notion that life doesn’t have to look like everyone else’s. We don't have to follow the crowd who let's face it....may not even know where the f**k they are going!

People will always tell you to be realistic.
To know your place.
To be sensible.
To stop dreaming.....this is their fear yes...but they may also be mirroring yours and you are being energetically asked if you will persevere regardless.

At the end of the day it is your own self that matters and your choice to fully embody this journey. In the later stage...when we have sieved through many layers, stripped bare, taken accountability and are at the stage of fully embracing life as this new version of you,the dreams, our family, our marriage, our hard earned luxuries....there can be a moment of questioning....am I actually worthy of it all?
The answer is yes!!!!!!

Sprinkle on the fu***ng notions.

Dream too big. Want too much. Take the chance. Make a fool of yourself. Go somewhere new. Become someone you never thought you could be. Embrace your new self and let her fu***ng shine.
You are worthy of it!!!!

Because what if the life you want is actually possible?

And if people think you’re mad for believing it well their opinion of you is none of your business.

So have the Fu***ng Notions.
Live the life.
Shine your light.
You are fu***ng worthy of it all.
You only get one.

I dedicate this post to an amazing woman who has been a client for many years. I chatted with her today during an Alignment Call about the realness of this moment.....Am I worthy? We processed what was coming up.
I wish you a lorry load of Fu***ng Notions

Revisiting a pattern doesn’t mean that you are back at the beginning.
Life may bring you back to the same lesson, but you are not the same person anymore. You have more awareness, more experience and a better understanding of yourself.

This time, you can see what you couldn’t see before. You can choose differently. You can respond instead of react.

Growth isn’t about never repeating a pattern. It is about recognising it sooner and meeting it with a wiser version of you.
That’s not starting over.
That’s growth.

There’s a strange, tender space in between -where the old version of us no longer fits, but the new one hasn’t fully arrived.

That in-between velcro energy can feel sticky: pulling us back toward what’s familiar while something deeper is asking us to move forward.

Becoming isn’t always a clean leap.
Sometimes it's being carried gently out of what we’ve outgrown.
The view scares some.
The height scares others.
The surrender holds the medicine.
Trust the shift.
You're Becoming.

You might feel raw right now, feel exhausted, feel like you’ve been dragged back into a pattern or situation you were certain you had already ploughed through. Not just sieved. You thought you had dug it out by the fu***ng roots.

And yet
here you are.
Again.

But this August feels different.

There is something about this energy that is peeling s**t back layer by layer. Stripping the wallpaper off the walls. Pulling the masks down. Taking the stories we’ve used to survive and ripping them the f**k apart.

It’s not asking you to become someone new.
It’s exposing everything that you are not.

The coping mechanisms.
The attachments.
The old identities.
The fu***ng ego.
The need to control.
The need to know.

Just know you’re not falling apart.
You might just be being stripped of everything you can no longer fu***ng carry.

And that process is not always beautiful.
Sometimes it’s ugly.
Sometimes it’s furious.
Sometimes it’s grief.
Sometimes it’s rage.
Sometimes it’s sitting on the floor wondering what the actual f**k is happening to you.

But maybe the point isn’t to keep putting yourself back together exactly as you were.

Maybe August is here to burn through the layers until there is nothing left to perform.
Nothing left to prove.
Nothing left to pretend.
Just you.
Fu***ng bare.

And finally, fu***ng real.

You can be it all at once you know....

The bloom of life flowing green, vibrant and seen, standing tall, facing the sky, the rebirth that sits in the open spores beneath the leaves.

The fading away of the old, an amber warning of the change that's needed and what's to come. Withdrawing and stepping back as preservation takes place , pulling the lessons and knowledge deep to the root.

The crisp brown death, no return.
No longer to form in that exact shape or pattern on this earth, but a definite return guaranteed in the new.

You can be all at once you know....such is the paradox of life.
