Claim Your Femininity, Without Apology

Popular culture has deliberately suppressed and stripped the feminine of its potency. We have subconsciously succumbed to the lies that it is wrong to be truly, fully, unapologetically feminine. We each need to awaken to the fact that, as women, we are powerful because we are women. We aren't meant to have the flat bellies that healthy men naturally do. We are meant to have curves, yet we have been taught to diet them away or strap them in with garments that have nothing to do with celebrating our natural female form. Hollywood has embedded the image of a[...]

Self Love is Not What You Think It Is

Self love. So much talk about it, yet few seem to truly understand what it means. Self love is not an action to be taken. Self love is an innate knowing that we are enough, we are sovereign and we are connected to the innate. Self love is not about adoring our physical from the ego. Self love is about appreciating our body and its functions, its shape, and all the while knowing we are each unique in our physical expression. Self love is nothing to do with the social programming tied to the overused words of "self love". Self love is deep, all-knowing an[...]

Allowing Forgiveness

How willing are you to forgive yourself? To release the energy of self-blame and victimhood? How willing are you to say, I am human, therefore I am perfectly imperfect? How willing are you to let go of the same stories that repeat in your head? How willing are you to say, regardless of any self-judgement, I am human, therefore I am perfectly imperfect? How willing are you to send the self-perceived wrongs to the light in order to invite in new, more supportive experiences? As we enter into the final month of the year, this is the perfect time to let go. To[...]

JOURNEY WITHIN, Out Soon

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) was one of my crucifixions. Yet, it was also one of my resurrections. It was my pain, but also my blessing. My devastation, but also my hope. Most of all, it was the catalyst to coming to know my authentic self—the real me behind the social masks—and to know and understand my needs: of mind, body and soul.

Be Brave, Not Popular

It takes courage to step into authenticity and speak your truth. It takes strength to say what others may be too afraid to. It takes an unwavering belief in something bigger than the status quo to openly march to a different beat. It is easy to be popular, to agree with what most believe to be true. Yet, popularity is not a badge of honour. Shining your authentic light, regardless of what others may think, now THAT is honourable. Do not waver in the deep knowing of your innate truths. Do not succumb to ridicule of those who believe differently to you.[...]

A Prayer for Our Children

We come together, a collective of women, mothers of all, to pray for our children. May our words be heard and actioned from the realms of all possibility, as a prayer of the highest order. We pray, from the depths of our souls, that our babies, our little ones, from whomever wombs they were birthed, be wrapped in God’s infinite blanket of love and protection. May Divine Light infuse our children’s cells and surroundings, regardless of where their physical may reside. May every single child be given the gift of remembrance of their true Divine selves,[...]

Overcoming Anxiety: Return to Rhythm

One of the most effective ways to overcome anxiety is to reconnect to Mother Nature

What is anxiety and how do we overcome it? The answer may be more simple that most realise, embedded in an unlearning of what we were told was the way. With the emergence of Earth’s awakened energies, there is a calling to return to her rhythms—a relearning of what we already innately know but have chosen to forget. In our preoccupation with complicating so much, there is actually a simplicity to be found in the return of the way it was always meant to be. Live in accordance with her laws and we may find we intuitively tap into our own rhythms more eas[...]

Symbolism & Why to Choose Mindfully

The seemingly benign and mundane can be powerful symbols of ancient origin. To follow the crowd without thought and contemplation of the action taken can be an an act of symbolic consent that we are completely unaware of. It has been the human condition to seek approval of others by following what others do, even if we ourselves don’t fully understand the consequences of what it is we are actually doing. Always choose symbols of the higher realms, with an intention to match. It is the light that transforms and transmutes. It is the light that teaches th[...]
