In this episode, I share a raw honest conversation about my experience with miscarriage. It has been reported that 1 in 4 women, will experience miscarriage and sadly this is not something that I was aware of.

Happy New Year! As a new year begins, I invite you to meditate with me for a few minutes- hold off a moment before you race and rush with setting goals and adding more.  See this as a period of transition, a chance to catch your breath and take stock of your feelings.  Sitting with our feelings can be one of the most challenging things we can do, as often it gives a space for things to arise that...

Today, I’m recording this episode on the beach at sunrise, on what would have been my dad’s 56th birthday. Birthdays can be a bittersweet reminder of those we’ve lost, but I’ve come to see them as a chance to celebrate and honour our loved ones.  Grief doesn't have a rulebook and birthdays can bring up so many emotions. In this chat I reflect on why these days still matter and how small ritua...
