At the weekend I birthed my shamanic drum, something I've wanted to do for a very long time.
Bit of a story time and vulnerable share here. Grab a cuppa. 🍵
I was gifted this by my ex partner as a Christmas present. We'd ended our relationship just before Christmas, but because it ended so amicably and with so much love, we still exchanged the presents we'd bought for each other. I was absolutely over the moon with this gift.
After our split, I went to Morocco to figure out what was next. It became really clear that even though I'm not from the Cotswolds, I've built a beautiful community here and I'm the only Kundalini Yoga teacher in the area. Even if I headed back to Manchester, where I'm from, I'd be starting from scratch again.
So I'm currently housesitting in the Cotswolds and have completely landed on my feet. I'm staying in a beautiful house with two amazing dogs while the owner travels a lot for work. It's working out brilliantly for both of us.
Over the last few months, Si and I had a couple of disagreements and nothing was really getting resolved. I knew I needed to wait until that had cleared before making the drum because I didn't want any unresolved energy going into the process.
Luckily, we saw each other at a festival recently and were able to clear the air, resolve our differences and enjoy the weekend together. It's funny really, because we met at a festival, so it felt like a beautiful full circle moment to find that resolution at a festival too, out in nature.
There's a bit of a backstory here that feels important to the whole process because what I thought would be a creative workshop became something much deeper. Of course!!!
The whole process felt symbolic of a new chapter - letting go of what no longer fits, trusting the process. Creating something with intention and bringing something new into the world.
When we first journeyed and connected with the deer hide, the word "Guide" came through.
Later, Tracey, who was leading the workshop, explained how drum making is connected to death and rebirth. As she spoke, I felt this overwhelming surge of emotion.
I realised this drum was exactly that for me.
A guide back to love.
Not necessarily romantic love, but self love, self trust, a love of life, and a return to wholeness.
At the same time, I've been getting crystal clear on who I help and how I help them.
I'm about to finalise my signature offer and refine my focus - which has felt a long time coming.
My heart is with women 40+ who know they're meant for more but have been avoiding a life changing decision for months, or even years. Women who have outgrown a career, relationship, identity, or way of living, and are ready to finally trust themselves and move forward.

I've reinvented myself so many times and I don't plan on stopping here!
All my focus is on myself and my business now so I'm making a commitment to show up more fully here.
This community is important to me and I'd love to make sure you're getting what you need from it.
