Argh - Berlin is cool and rainy today - not what I signed up for after a flea market on Saturday at 35 degrees 😂

Actually the perfect day to finally get my slides done for the Projector Masterclass next Monday..... 😅

But my defined Root centre has other plans 😂

Look at my lovely stall - obviously photographed by me whilst Neil is holding the fort.

We even sold stuff 🤩
Quite a bit ... but still negligible compared to what the vaults of this tiny flat still hold.

And for those here reading my post that actually are Projectors - you can still sign up for the Masterclass.

I promise you it will be a good one - and what's almost more important - it will be all Projectors in the room, which is a blissful energy to experience.

No exhaustion - but nurture instead.

So I'll shut up and let them speak. 😏

2 Brand Photography spaces left for 2026.

If one of them has your name on it, come and claim it. 🔥

She knew what she got herself into.
We worked together 3 years ago.

And yet, the result left her speechless.

I rather like that 🥰

I have two brand shoot dates remaining for 2026.
September
October

Two slots for 2027 are already pre-booked (Corfu and Malta … how cool is that?)

Both September and October 2026 are prime spaces.

Are you postponing the things that would nourish you?
Because you're too busy NOT doing the things you think you should do?

Stop earning your joy.

Go to the park.
Read the book.
Sit in the sunshine.
Drink the coffee.
Work on what excites you.
Walk by the sea.
Watch the birds.

You might even return with more energy and more clarity.

Watch out for the shoulds.

If a sentence starts with "I should..."
You probably “shouldn't”...

You don't need to earn your joy.
You don't need to earn your freedom.
You don't need to earn doing something you love.

Putting those things at the end of your list... is the perfect way to make sure you never get to them.

Put your joy first.

You might be surprised how many other things suddenly become possible.

For years I thought I had to explain why everything I do belongs together.
The truth is, deep inside, I was the one who needed convincing.

Brand Photography.
Human Design.
Mentoring.
Energy work.
Quantum Healing.

I thought I had to make it make sense.

Then I realised something.

I didn't need to become congruent.

I needed to trust the congruence that was always there.

This idea arrived this morning...
(Thank you, Spleen 😅)

Exciting!

But before I disappear into creating it .....

If you're a Projector...

Would you love an invitation? 💚

Today has been the third day in a row that I spent the afternoon in the park.
Enjoying the sun that finally arrived in Scotland.

And I am doing that without guilt or shame.
Do I have a mile-long to-do list?
Of course I do (Who doesn’t?)

But I refuse to delay freedom until my diary gives me permission.

Life is here to live in the now.
To enjoy the good when it is offered - not “earned”.

For years I denied myself that freedom.
There was always something that came first.

Another email. Another edit.
Another task (like writing a bloody social media post …. 😂)

Freedom always came last.

That's how deeply it was conditioned in me.

Freedom is what we are here to claim in the now - it is not for later.

Later never comes.

Procrastination …..
Or procrastafaffing - how I also like to call it!!!

I am an absolute master at this ….

I am possibly expected to share my approved and guaranteed working hacks to overcome procrastination …..
But - the truth is - I do not have any!

I battle procrastination pretty much every day … sometimes more sometimes less.

I am able to procrastinate pretty much anything.

Stuff I love doing.
Stuff I hate doing.
Stuff that's scary.
Stuff that’s fun.
Stuff that has one single gruesome step to move it into flow area (this is culling a brand shoot btw!)

I procrastinate getting up in the morning at least as badly as getting to bed at night.
(Did you know that bed time procrastination is an actual term?)

I can even procrastinate rest … that is one of the worst ones as a projector - when it’s time to rest this is what my body asks me … but I still find ways to hang in a bit longer …..
WHY????

Last weekend - starting on Friday, I think - I reached my lifelong procrastination peak.

I was unsuperwised 🤣 because BF is in Rio for 3 weeks.

I am not kidding you but I binge watched possibly every season under the sun of The Voice.
Bloody Youtube sucked me in and I was hooked.

I don’t even want to think about how many hours that was ….
Stretched over 3 days plus a bit ….

Twice I went to bed in bright daylight 🙈

Thank god I have seen pretty much everything now.
And - I actually enjoyed it.
Great music, loads of emotions and some fun.

The only productive procrastafaffing I did was cleaning my make up brushes …. YAY.

But do you know what? I am not beating myself up for it.
It actually did enrich my life in some way and now I am focussed like crazy, tunnel vision switched on to finalise the edits of Jo’s Brand Shoot.

Yes, the gruesome culling is over … everything that comes after it takes time but is fun and rewarding.

So since I have told you all the truth - tell me what was your worst Procrastination event ever?
I think I hit the peak last week.

But for now hit me with your truth 😎
🜂

PS. PS. If you've been procrastafaffing your brand shoot for months (years)... I see you. 👀

2 days ago I shared a quite painful experience 7 years back.

Disappointment
Hurt
Grief
Disbelief

Caused by Corporate refusing to see the person, the intent, the loyalty + the heartblood they put into their work.

Revisiting that was interesting.
It showed me how deeply value driven I always was - without even knowing it.

It showed me that seeing people is something I have always done - I have always cherished - I have always put emphasis on.

My corporate success was built on that.
My ability to connect with clients on a deeper level, on a human level.

My success was never because of what I knew, my expertise, my sales technique.
It was because I was interested in the person in front of me - the real person.

I built connection and relationship far beyond what people would call “a professional level”

My Projector gifts were always operating - without me knowing.
Without me having a clue about HD.

I created my business around this very thing - without even trying:

Seeing people for who they are.
Seeing who they are becoming.

This is the true essence of my photography. And no I do not just look at their HD chart and rock up to the shoot (as one of my coaches once suggested ….)

I build the connection, depth and trust in the time leading up to the shoot.
I am at their side, creating the vision ….. and a detailed plan they have on hand to prep.
I go through their wardrobe with them - literally.
I hold their hand - literally - when they are nervous.
I do not push - I create the flow they will need to be confident and themselves.

It also is the essence of everything else I do.

My mentoring.
My healing work.
My Akashic work.

Everyone is met as who they are and where they are at.
Are seen and recognised.

This magic ingredient is what creates movement and progress.

It opens them up to seeing themselves, builds courage and momentum to move forward to where they are meant to be.

There are photographers who work a lot faster than me.
There are mentors who push you harder.

For me what’s important is that you build your power in your time.
Because what we build with intention and belief will become embodied.

Embodiment is the true + only way to your power.
