Music has an incredible ability to transport us.

A song can come on and suddenly we’re right back there — like a time portal. How we felt, our frame of mind, the environment around us and what was happening mentally, physically and emotionally.

‘Freedom’ by Wim and Tahir came on Spotify and took me straight back to Spain — the first expedition I supported him on.

It was just over a year since we’d suddenly lost Dave.

I’d qualified as a Wim Hof Method instructor only a month before the accident. I thought I was learning the power of the breath, cold and mindset so I could share these tools with others.

I had no idea how much I was going to need them myself.

Hearing Freedom again reminded me of where I was then. Who I was and who I was becoming. How critical these simple tools became, and how grateful I am that they were already part of my life when I needed them most.

When our world feels completely out of control, we may not be able to change what is happening around us.

But we can take five minutes.

We can stop. Breathe consciously. Calm our nervous system and create a sense of internal calm, even if only for a brief moment.

For me, that was — and still is — coming back to centre.

Sometimes five minutes is enough to give us what we need to face the next five minutes.

Do you have a song 🎵 that transports you?

Returning to my morning pages today.

As I opened my notebook, I found a reminder I’d written to myself months ago. I’d completely forgotten it was there.

“Tell me a story. Make me care.”
— Anne Lamott

A simple sentence, but exactly what I needed to read.

It’s also a reminder of why we write things down. Sometimes we’re not writing for the person we are today. We’re writing for the version of ourselves who will need those words months, or even years, later.

I wonder if our subconscious is often one step ahead. It whispers to us to capture a thought, knowing that one day we’ll return to it when we’re ready to hear it.

As I continue writing the first draft of The Three Pillars of Hope Through Grief, this will remain my compass.

To share my story in a way that helps someone feel seen, understood and leaves them with hope, especially on the days when life feels unbearably heavy.

Sometimes all we need is someone who’s walked a little further ahead to remind us that we’re not alone, that what we’re feeling is part of being human, and that this too shall pass.

If you’d like to follow along as I write The Three Pillars of Hope Through Grief, I’m sharing the process, reflections and lessons I’m learning along the way on my Substack, together with a companion podcast.

Possibly one of the most stunning locations I’ve ever had the privilege of leading Breathwork ⛰️

Proud to be supporting the life-changing 999 Reset charity alongside , delivering morning breathwork sessions to help prepare body and mind for the day ahead.

Three unforgettable days.

Over 60 km of hiking through Norway’s breathtaking landscapes 🇳🇴

More than 80 incredible people, sharing the challenge, the laughter, the connection and the adventure.

A reminder that some of the most powerful things in life are also the simplest: disconnecting from our phones, reconnecting with ourselves, immersing ourselves in nature, and strengthening our connection with one another ♾️
A powerful few days with an incredible community

Next years plans already in the making by more to follow….

Ps
Of course with some stunning dips along the way 🥰💫
