Thereās a particular moment in the summer, somewhere after the solstice in June, when the sunās power feels both restorative and relentless. Its light nourishes, yes, but it also reveals the ways in which we might be running too hot, spinning too fast, circling too many suns at once.

Hello,
Grief doesn't always arrive loudly.
Sometimes it walks beside us quietly, unspoken, unrecognised, even unnamed.
It may look like the death of someone we love.
The conversations we never got to have.
But it may also live in the loss of a role that once defined us.
The version of ourselves t...
Hello,
I love this poem because it calls us back, it reminds us that grief is not only sorrow; it is testimony. It marks that something mattered. That someone mattered.
Grief is not a single event. It ripples. One loss stirs up others, personal, ancestral, communal. It sends tremors through the b...
Hello,
This week, I had planned to share our Finding Resilience Coaching Short with you, but before I do, I want to speak to what has been most alive in me these past few days: the quiet, sacred act of being witnessed.
I have found unexpected healing in allowing myself to be deeply h...
Hello,
I realise that I still need to give space to the topic of last week's letter and to be with my Eloise. I notice the pressure I feel to write this week, to share something new and insightful, and yet I can't summon anything else forth, until I have given this grief, however old, its rightfu...
Hello,
This week I have been in mourning, more so than I had anticipated after all this time, and yet it is fitting, given the topic of grief, which we will gather around next month in our second Coaching Short. After nearly 15 years of speaking relatively little about this immense experience, I ...
Hello,
I had the pleasure of speaking with Matthew Green on Resonant World recently, and I'm so grateful for the space that we shared.
Among many things, we explored the topic of ancestry, something that feels especially alive for me as it was the focus of our first Coaching Short, Finding Resili...
Hello,
Wow! This is our inaugural cohort who gathered for our first live session to examine resilience through a regenerative and ancestral lens. These are some of the 44 women who that heard that call. I've included a few testimonials below...
Ā I was blown away by the deep sharing and incredibl...
Ā Hello,
Just over a decade ago, my mother died two months before my daughter was born. It was a profound threshold. I was grieving in the late stages of pregnancy and of course, despite trying to move on for my new baby, this continued while nursing a newborn. Everyday I walked the tightrope of u...
Hello,
I have checked and I have full permission to share this moment with you. A dear friend of mine's daughter turned 13 this week. Izzy, her mother had asked her adult female friends who have known her daughter for much of her life, to write a prayer, wise words or wishes, which she would add ...
Hello,
I wasn't intending to write this letter to you all, but there are moments in any journey of creation when doubt creeps in and whispers that perhaps we've gone too far, reached too high, or exposed too much of ourselves.Ā This week, I found myself in exactly such a moment with the Isumataq ...
Hello,
I am in awe of women. In awe of their stories, their courage, their beauty and their vulnerability and the dance they have to do to allow these gifts to inform how they lead in all walks of their lives, without feeling exposed or criticised for celebrating and integrating their wholeness.
