Right.
I have been sitting in an airport (for way too long), reflecting on the last six days.
All emotional. In departures. As you do... erm, as I do.
What a ride. What an absolutely bonkers, beautiful, wild ride it has been.
Because this time last year?
My whole life was built on things that weren’t real: lies, deceit, things so out of alignment with who I am. My body knew it long before my eyes let me see it. The most painful revelation of my life.
I woke up braced every single day. Uncertainty was just the weather. Eight months ago I was unrecognisable to myself.
And then March happened.
My glorious friend Emily and I both turned 50. So obviously we did the sensible, measured thing and went to IBIZA and danced for FOUR DAYS STRAIGHT. Until my feet were screaming and my face hurt from laughing.
I was the class clown. First on the dance floor, every time, zero shame. And I smiled, Properly. From somewhere deep where my sparkle lives, somewhere I hadn’t reached in far too long.
And I did the whole thing next to my daughter. My absolute legend. The forgiveness this girl carries makes me want to be better every day. We came here to break some serious cycles, and we are BREAKING them.
So many people said how “alive” I seemed. I nearly cried every time, because there was a stretch where I couldn’t feel it at all. But apparently my sparkle never left.
Nobody can steal it. Not now, not ever.
So here I am. Stronger than ever. Done tolerating rubbish from anyone who calls it love.
Obsessed with my business and the incredible women I get to watch come home to themselves.
Am i Fully healed, floating on a cloud? God no. The pain still gatecrashes some mornings. I still think about my dogs every day. But right now, in this plastic airport chair, I’m in pure gratitude. Because I smiled from my HEART this time.
So my love, if you’re smiling in the photos and bracing on the inside. This is your slightly mad 50-year-old fairy godmother telling you, hand on heart, it comes back.
Do the work. Reconnect to that essence that makes you uniquely awesome. It’s still in there. ALWAYS.
I see you. Come and find me. My magic just got an upgrade. x
