I'm dedicated to helping women in particular develop their spiritual path in life. I'm focused heavily on Brigid in Ireland, although not all my followers are! I teach, speak, coach and mentor people to help them along their own individual path, based on what lore we have, but also allowing for each individual path to develop as it needs to.
😲I didn't mean to let it go this long!

Life has been busy but I honestly did not intend to leave it this long without emailing ye! So, in the last month: 💔I've lost two members of my team in work 💔Al has had to change meds causing a lot of upsets 👏I've started going to a Menopausal Women's exercise group which has been fantastic 👏I've gone low/ no carb and my digestive system is miles better 👏I've re-started my journaling habit 👏I've re-started my productivity habits Places I'm slipping on thought are: ⏳getting my blog posts out on time ⏳getting any emails written at all ⏳drinking water ⏳getting my steps in ⏳allowing time for rest and recuperation ⏳insomnia has hit again, several times a week ⏳stress levels rising So, life is tough. And, yes, it's at times like this I lean on Brigid. There have been candles lit. Incense burnt. Prayers said. All the things. And I also need to come back to my basics: 🍽️ food 🫗 water 🛌sleep 🏋️♀️ movement (And yes, I am using emojis to help myself feel better!!) I'm not looking for advice, but just letting ye know how things are going. Lots of ideas on how to improve next year though!! Bríd libh Órlagh Check out the links below: Website |

Yes, I'm still on about energy and things starting to grow today! I can't help it, I can feel the energy moving and shifting and it's fun! Plus, you know, it's that time of year when I get geared up for talking about Brigid non-stop, for 2 full months. (I know, you lot are used to listening to me all the time, but other people aren't!) Anyway, it's a quick email today, because I'm working on something very exciting. I'm putting together an Imbolc retreat. I did this last year, it was 6 hours,...
Today's blog post is about ascending into Imbolc. Now, I know - we don't usually think about ascending to Imbolc. We might consider descending around Samhain, but if there's a sense of descent into the earth for the winter, we really should counteract that with a period of ascent as well. And given Imbolc is about that period where we're looking at nature, new growth, rising energy in the world in general... it makes sense to me to link it to ascent. (It's also a great time to check out your...
Yes, I'm getting back into some sort of sensible routine now! Although I spent the entire weekend and my two days off last week on the couch, struggling with a cold. Or possibly flu and the vaccine was doing its job. (Yes, this is a pro-vaccine space, in case you were in any doubt!) But I've been having loads of conversations over the last few weeks over the guilt people feel around Christmas, and women in their 40's/ 50's in particular. So, that's what today's blog post is about. Guilt,...
