Letting the Magic Flow
My Sorceress has been hard at play this week. You know how sometimes things just seem to flow easily; you notice little coincidences, little bits of good fortune, things seem to happen at just the right time. That’s when your Sorceress energy is flowing…. “that part...

My Perimenopause – the start of my journey
I’m no stranger to anxiety; it has been there at various points throughout my life, and over the years I have learned to recognise it, manage it and not let it dominate me or what I am doing. I have learned to lean into it a little, to let go of it and enjoy life in...
Hormone Stories
When I was a girl, I learnt something about hormones. Some were okay – it was fine to talk about things like adrenaline and testosterone. There was even some grudging respect for ‘adrenaline junkies’, and men with a lot of testosterone were viewed with a level of...

Motivation – how’s yours doing?
I’m lucky. I really like exercise. I (mostly) feel motivated to get out and exercise. Once I’m out, I love the feeling of moving my body; I like feeling strong and healthy; I like knowing what my body is capable of. I like being able to walk up hills, run for a bus,...
