We’re so glad you’re here. Truly. Thank you for sharing a little of your story already — it takes courage to step into a new space, especially one rooted in growth, healing, and self-kindness. This Lounge is a place for real life. Messy seasons. Fresh starts. Tiny wins. And the kind of conversations that remind us we’re not doing this alone. Ladies — feel free to keep sharing, jump into a thread that resonates, or simply settle in and explore. There’s no right way to be here. Shine Lounge sisters, let’s give them some love below 💛👇 @Rachael Bermingham - You can read Rachael's intro post here @Lydia Cox - You can read Lydia's intro post here And @Lucy Murphy, I know you dropped into Friday self-time, but we would love to know a little more about you. Tea or Coffee, Bubble-baths or Pedicures. Welcome everyone, you're seat on the Lounge is ready

There is a version of you that only comes out when nothing is being asked. She shows up when the room feels calm. When the plants are nearby. When your body knows it does not have to brace.

Hey all, wanted to update you all, my ankle is not broken, just severely sprained about a mnth in moon boot and physio

Hey gorgeous soul 💛 Let’s keep this one light and doable. Before the week revs up, let’s pick one small self-care move that makes life feel a little easier — not perfect, just smoother. For me? 🥣 Meal prep = overnight oat cups that last the week. Easy breakfast = easier mornings = calmer start to the day. Nothing fancy. Just supportive. 💬 Your turn: What’s one tiny thing you can set up this weekend to make next week feel kinder? Meals? Clothes ready? A walk booked? An earlier bedtime? Saying no to one thing? Drop it below — simple counts, small wins matter, and someone else might borrow your idea 💛

Hey Gorgeous Souls, Last week I shared a raw, unfiltered moment from my car — no polish, no prep, just me talking it out as I was. And this week, after witnessing such a brave, vulnerable share from one of our sisters… it felt like the perfect time to make Fridays about real self-time ⏰ Shout out to the beautiful @Jacky Lombard So here’s the gentle invitation 🌿 📸 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗽 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 No filters. No posing. No pressure. It might be: *work-you *early-morning, half-awake you *end-of-day, “I survived” you *comfy, cosy, curled-up you There is no right version. 💬 𝗦𝗻𝗮𝗽 𝗮 𝗽𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆 Take a moment to comment on at least one other sister’s photo. Not about appearance in a critical way, but about what you notice: ✨ warmth ✨ strength ✨ softness ✨ presence ✨ honesty This isn’t about fixing, shrinking, or improving ourselves. It’s about seeing ourselves — and each other — with kinder eyes. I’ll go first in the comments 💛 Add yours 📸 P.S. - New Category added 'Selfie-Timrle | This Is Me
