Start small

A lovely morning at Southside Women’s Shed 💛

I recently had the pleasure of introducing the group to EFT (Tapping) and showing them just how simple tapping can be.

We kept it light, practical and easy to follow — exploring how tapping can be a useful tool when stress, overwhelm or those “my mind is going 100 miles an hour” moments show up.

What I loved most was seeing everyone get involved and give it a go. Sometimes the simplest tools are the ones we’re most likely to actually use.

Thank you to the wonderful women at Southside Women’s Shed for such a warm welcome and for being so open to trying something new.

And a little reminder from me: you don’t have to wait until you’re completely overwhelmed before you pause, breathe and check in with yourself. 💛

“Do not take that gift of hope lightly. It has the power to conquer despair in the midst of sorrow, to light the darkness in the valleys of life, to whisper “One more time” in the face of failure. Hope is what gives life to dreams, making the fairy tale the reality.”

Thank you to all who attended our Athlacca Community Wellness morning today in aid of the Athlacca Walkway. We really appreciate your generous donations and time!
Roisin Keating and I really enjoyed meeting you all and supporting you on your wellness path.

Have you ever felt guilty for resting? As though your worth depends on how much you achieve, produce, or accomplish?

Well, you’re not alone. In fact, I think we’ve been conditioned by a capitalist society to believe that our worth comes from what we do, rather than who we are.
⁣
Your purpose is not productivity. You weren't born to spend your life chasing promotions, pay rises, applause, or approval. You’re here to feel, grow, connect, and be. And to truly be is to reconnect with your essential nature.

Life is about remembering the divinity within you, not through constant hustle, but through presence. You return to yourself in moments of creativity, stillness, connection, and wonder. In the way you love, rest, write, dance, build, and breathe.

You were never meant to measure your life by your output. You were meant to experience it.
⁣
Yes, work hard when you need to and honor your responsibilities. But please don’t mistake survival for a substitute for aliveness. Don’t let “getting there” rob you of “being here.”⁣⁣
⁣
Prioritize the small joys. The sacred pauses. The unmeasurable moments that remind you you’re not only a functioning human being, but one with feelings.⁣ Because one day, when the dust settles, and the goal is met, you’ll look back and realize what mattered most wasn’t just where you were headed, it was who you were, and how present you allowed yourself to be, along the way.⁣

If you’re ready to stop performing for your worth and reclaim your life, I wrote You Can’t Please Everyone for you.
