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 mean, I know this is a consequence of getting older, but this is getting old. I had two days off the day job last week and I spent it clearing out my wardrobe. And worse, considered this a valuable use of time off work. What the hell? I have another two days off this week (got time I need to use or lose) and I'm planning on a deep clean of the bathroom and I'm really looking forward to it. Add this to my recent digestive issues, leading to a change in dietary habits, and I'm getting very concerned. I will say though, that the required changes to my food intake (see below), are working hard with the topic of today's blog post. I felt genuinely guilty at the weekend, because Ma did a special meal for me when I visited, so I wouldn't be sick afterwards. Menopause is a bitch, people! But what it means for me, for now at least, is that I'm trying gluten free and some carb-free stuff. I say some carb-free stuff, cos porridge is a problem for me right now. And oats are gluten free... inconsiderate, this stomach of mine. Also, milk appears to be an issue, so I'm trialling some lactose free stuff. Nothing definite and nothing doctor ordered, more just "this stuff appears to be causing me problems, let's see if I can live without it and if it makes a difference..." But it means taking up space - even in my own life. It means I have to make time for meal prep. And I really struggle with that. It means I have to ask for alternatives and can't just go and eat whatever is put in front of me. It means I have to pay attention to my body and work with it. It means taking up space in more ways than I ever imagined! It's also a recurring theme right now in my coaching clients: how to take up the space we need and deserve and want in this world. Even for ourselves. There's a few of us struggling right now with taking the space we need to do things that support us and help us thrive. So, if you feel like the whole idea of taking up space is difficult - don't worry, you're not alone! And unfortunately, as yet, no signs of me turning into my mother physically. It's all mental and emotional... BrÃd libh Órlagh P. S. Don't forget to check out the Brigid Sessions if you're interested in short term coaching options.

Hi, I'm Orlagh, of Brigid's Forge
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!

Or leads to people diving away from me. (OK that's enough with the sports stuff!) Part of the reason is that I've been getting a lot of queries about the Brigid Sessions, so I've put together a product page for them. If you'd like to try me out, just click on this link and you can buy the sessions. I'll follow up with sending you a link to book the first session and we'll go from there. $227.00 The Brigid Sessions 🌿 The Brigid Sessions A 3-part coaching program to help you define how you work...
I know. I'm writing an email a mere day after the last one. This is most un-Orlagh like behaviour, but bear with me, ok? I started getting some menopause-type symptoms a few years ago, but it was bearable. An increase in hair on my face. Spots for a week a month. A bit more tired than normal. But, y'know, dealable with. It was ok. And I was kinda thinking of ways to make this work for me - treating it as puberty again, but this time, paying respect to myself, my body, my spirit, my needs. And...
First off, I had a huge response to my email on Friday and I appreciate your concerns. So here are some of the answers to the most asked questions I've been asked: ✅All the courses have download links against the videos, audios and pdf files. If you come across one that doesn't, let me know and I'll figure out why it doesn't. ✅You have at least a month before the school changes over. ✅I will be enrolling you in the new platform so you won't lose anything long term. But I know how annoying it...
