Who was the bright spark that decided that self regulation had to be from a chronic state of depletion?

In fact looking back, a part of me believed my whole business model required burnout to even function.

That being busy, maxed out, and operating at total capacity was just what it took to be survive this crazy world of self employment.

And for the first couple of years I didn’t even question the grind. I genuinely didn’t think I had a choice.

Capping my days? Setting firm boundaries? God forbid, taking a *regular* full day off just to recoup?

It wasn’t even on my radar.

What do you mean that to have a sustainable business you must protect the nervous system behind it??

Thankfully, it did dawn on me that I had a choice!

That it’s not sustainable to support other peoples nervous system (or my own) from a state of chronic depletion.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been bravely going against the grain. I say bravely, because honestly, It has been really tough at times.

“Do I really deserve this break?”

“I need to be on top of absolutely everything.”

Unlearning the hustle mentality is uncomfortable work.

But on the other side of that discomfort, my whole energy has shifted. What I know for certain now is that when I give myself permission to go slow, that grounded energy ripples. Through my body to yours, and from work to home.

It has changed how I show up, how I teach, and how I hold space for my clients long before I even say a word.

Where have you forgotten that you have choice??

Perhaps this is the week where you start to take your power back 🤍💪🏽

Now go and be brave!

Looking back on June. My English skills were really put to the test 😂

This month was really special. I’m sitting here feeling so grateful for everyone who stepped out of the cold and came to rest with me over the last few weeks for The Monthly Luxe.

To ground into the season I added a twist to the sessions! We still had our familiar comforts - the grounding restorative yoga flow, the same steamy hot cacao and we ate brie and GF crackers like nothing else!

But this month we anchored our sessions to a single word. And everyone chose their own 💫 (cue the spelling bee)

It is amazing how much weight and comfort a single word can hold when you actually give yourself the space to feel it.

Watching the room soften each week really showed me a few things:

🧠 Our minds just need a place to land. SPACE. None of us get enough of it. June can bring that winter fatigue, and our thoughts love to spin. With space, with safety and with the right environment, the plates stop spinning. The mind rests.

A softer place to rest. Where you can remember your breath. Again. Again. And again.

🧘🏽‍♀️We hear our bodies more than we know. We just don’t truly LISTEN!

The world expects us to have high, summery energy all year round, which is exhausting. These sessions almost felt like a quiet rebellion. We looked at the winter weather hibernating outside and decided to match it on the mat.

🧦 The ripple effect is HUGE! One evening of nurture is more than just one evening of being scooped up. It’s a feeling that stays with you!

The best part about restorative yoga is that the safety you feel under those warm blankets… it doesn’t disappear when you leave. Your nervous system remembers what it feels like to truly let go.

To everyone who shared space with me this June, thank you for your presence and your trust.

If things get hectic or stressful this coming week, close your eyes for a moment, take a deep breath, and remember your June anchor ⚓️

Your body knows exactly what to do.

Do you have a word of the season that pops into your mind when you read this? Or a feeling? Or a colour?

I’d love to hear it!

These aren’t homework, assignments or another item on your to do list.

And you aren’t failing if you don’t do them.

These are more like a self care menu. Simple, low pressure tools for when life feels loud and don’t want to repeat old patterns to numb it out.

A gentle nudge back to centre.

Swipe through for a few ‘prescriptions’ that popped up in this week’s reports.

Feel free to save this post so you can come back to them when you need.

Is there one that your body is asking for this week?

Nervous system talk is everywhere!

That and protein.

But this isn’t just a trend. It’s the science of your body’s operating systems.

It’s your brains control tower, (sorry, it’s the old flight attendant coming out) that directs all ‘traffic’ (signals) coming in and out so nothing crashes.

It tells your eyes to blink, your mouth to smile and your brain to learn new things.

Yin yoga is basically the night shift or the quiet skies for your body!

We spend a lot of time in day shift… the tower is frantic. Radio buzzing, loud alerts and too many planes (input) trying to land at once!

This is where yin yoga comes in and clears the runways!

We switch on DND ☮️

The planes can circle slowly, land and turn off their engines.

Each pose turns down the static.

Our body stats to recognise safety. No emergencies.

We enter the maintenance window!

The result… the control tower in the brain feels organised once again.

The screens are clear, the noise is quiet and you’re ready to gently rise again.

I’d love to have you join me and reduce those system overload feels!
