Sharing uncomplicated truths to encourage and educate women to embrace their healing power.
A personal update - my life has changed🙏🏼

Hi, Reader, I want to share a little about what's been happening behind the scenes for me. Some of you already know, and I have talked about it in my private FB Group. I recently found myself at a decision conundrum. The outcome of my decision would have a drastic effect on things for me and hubby, and also for a colleague. Big emotions, big conversations, big self-advocacy, and big fear. I have felt something in me shift since returning from my beautiful holiday with my bestie. And I felt a further deeply felt something that is hard to describe, when my friend Katy passed. There's been big energies at play here. After living such a reckless life through my late teens and early 20's, I then focused on making 'safe' choices. Choices that felt 'secure'. In this situation, I had to meet my nervous system where it threw fear at me. Even though every fibre of my being was screaming YES within me, I still needed to work through the logic. As a result, I have dropped hours in my 'job' that I enjoy, considerably. My job that is safe. It’s time to focus on me, and what I want. I've support our family for a long time, and it feels uncomfortable to let go of a significant drop in income, but the desire for change is stronger. My client healing and therapy work has grown, and me with it. I’m stepping out and up. I now have more capacity to create, and serve. I am getting serious about how to support more people while protecting my own energy. Inspiration and excitement are flowing. You might be hearing from me more as I ditch the shouldn't, couldn't, and wouldn't that has held me back. I am creating a new private community as we speak, and I will be sharing that with you very soon. I know your inbox is full - and so is mine. But I hope you will stick around, and I hope my messages are valuable. I'm always open to you asking questions, giving me feedback, and if you feel it's time for you to say goodbye, please know there's no hard feelings. I don't want people to feel they have to stay around because they know me personally, if they are ready to move on. My hope is that my teachings and experiences can offer you some reflection in your own life, and help you heal. Either way, love you! 🥰 Ali x |

Grief snuck up on me this week, Reader. I was just starting my day as normal, blow drying my hair, when it hit me 💔 I miss my beautiful friend, Katy, so much.I didn’t get to say goodbye. But I also know I didn’t need to… she would have hated the thought of her devastated loved ones filing through for one last embrace. I hear her laugh, and her voice. She's loving it up there. She had a wicked, dark sense of humour, and we laughed a lot through the big things of sharing the cancer experience....
There's one thing that every single one of us does, Reader, that creates huge amounts of angst. We expect. What does this have to do with Beckham? I'll get to him in a sec, hang in there with me! There are two types of expectation, both linked to believing we’ll gain something. ✨ The first type is when we expect from ourselves. We take steps, put in the work, and expect to succeed. This is healthy. It motivates us, drives us forward, and builds resilience. ✨ The second type is when we expect...
I've got a skeleton in my closet, Reader😥 A family secret that has been passed down through two generations. And I'm curious. To the point of investigation. My dad, my beautiful superman, is now 93. He is one of four with three sisters, and is the second eldest. The eldest is 95. Their two youngest sisters sadly have passed. My sister and I are the youngest of 13 cousins who are all married and have children of their own. You can imagine our get-togethers! Last time we had a family reunion,...
