What do you think about this?

Whether or not you subscribe to the idea that our energy is dictated by the moon, on Sunday 10th March there is a new moon. This is how you might be feeling:

like you just need to let that s*** go (that's how I feel) - via a big bath and a cry (that's me), a dance in the kitchen, a run, a massive journalling session...

It's also absolutely true that whilst the following patterns or observations will feel familiar to many women, others won't relate to these themes at these times. What is true for everyone, however, is that the more consistently you track (and the more you choose to value this process) the huge amount you, your body and your business will thrive. 

How are you feeling now that we’re well into the second month of the year? Have those new year’s resolutions faded, or are you thriving? Whatever your current situation, I'd like you to remember three things:

- you're not "ill-disciplined" if today/ this week you need to slowly, gently ease back into your work

”So let me understand this correctly. Now we have kids our priorities have changed and you are working in this new way. And you want clients. To get clients you need time. You also need your own coach which costs money. But in order to get money you need to work. But then if you’re working you don’t have the time to get the clients.

How does anyone get their side hustle to become their main source of income?!?!?!”

To which I answered:

”I think they have to hustle a bit, my love.”

Sometimes you just have to decide to decide. 

Let me expand: have you ever ummed and ahhed over a decision, pondering away until - ooh - it's the weekend, you'll think about it again on Monday?

Perhaps you've done copious research, you've listened to all the advice, you've read all the reviews, you've watched all the videos. 

But actually - you sometimes just need to decide to make a choice.

If you're struggling to find your purpose, working can feel so tough. When you realise that the business you're nurturing is so much more than just an income (though earning money through your own work is pretty awesome) feels so wonderful. It's a beautiful representation of your values and the way you want to show up in this season of your life.

6 things I wanted to share with you…

I was writing some thoughts down earlier, and wanted to share them with you, albeit it in a more beautiful way than I'd originally scrawled, so here’s a love letter from me to you:

I am #busybeingabrilliantmum, creating a wonderful life for my children, keeping them alive (!), dreaming of a fabulous future for my family that I am making. I am helping my clients realise their dreams. I am making music with teenagers and helping them get excited about learning. I am learning every day. I am doing my best. I am more than enough.

I am totally confident in my choices – I still have to regularly assess what confidence means to me, and if I’m on the right path for me and my family, but that comes from a place of excitement and love, not fear and negativity. I know when I work with my clients that I help them get to that point, it’s why I love my job and love working with amazing women. Confidence in all that – it’s there in abundance.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our own heads that we forget to simply be in the moment. But here's the deal: life is like a crazy, beautiful, messy painting, and if we're always stuck in our heads, we'll miss out on all those amazing brushstrokes.

In the hushed corners of our minds, the quiet voice beckons, urging us to dare, dream, and act upon our most profound desires. It reminds us that within our whispers of doubt, there are echoes of untapped potential and uncharted paths. Embracing this inner guidance is a journey towards self-discovery and a life lived authentically. So, dear reader, let the subtle notes of your inner voice be your compass, and may you embark on adventures that unfold the stories only you can write, for it is in listening to this hushed melody that we often find the courage to transform dreams into reality.

Mindset can also be referred to as working on your attitude, your general psyche, your energy, your approach, your beliefs...

I always think it’s a bit like hypnobirthing - our brain associates certain words or phrases with certain physical or emotional responses. Training our brain to surround itself with a set of words, approaches and attitudes that are inherently associated with positive outcomes can, in turn, generate more positive outcomes.

In a world that often demands more from us than we can give, self-care has emerged as an essential lifeline. It's not just a trendy catchphrase; it's a lifeline to inner peace and resilience. By focusing on the trio of mind, body, and soul, we unlock the potential for transformative change in our lives.

Remember, self-care should be accessible, self-reflective, and rejuvenating. It's about finding solace in the simple and the sacred, in the quiet moments and the joyful movements. It's about nurturing your mind when it races, celebrating your body for all it does, and feeding your soul with the joys that make your heart sing.

Embrace the power of self-care as a daily ritual, and watch as it transforms your life one mindful, nurturing, and joyful moment at a time. Your well-being deserves nothing less.

One of the hardest things we face when we are trying to work out important decisions, whether it’s about how we're meant to parent a vulnerable human, how we're meant to develop our business, or why we're doing what we're doing, is the endless presence of ALL THE NOISE.

But heres the thing - whether or not you’ve chosen to, having more than one way of making money, and more specifically still - if you need a job to support your income alongside your business - is far from cheating. It is perfectly normal.
