Last month I ran From Restriction to Freedom for the first time. The response genuinely moved me. People said it helped them find their spiritual north. That it felt like a safe space to explore without anyone telling them the right way to do it. One person wrote to me afterwards - go raibh maith agat - and said it had played an important part in this phase of their life. I'm running it again this Tuesday. And if you missed it the first time, I'd love for you to be there. From Restriction to...

Ye may have noticed that it's Tuesday when I'm sending this and not Monday. Ye may also have noticed a distinct lack of an email last week. I'm sorry. Basically, my stress levels are extremely high right now. It's affecting food, sleep, cognitive ability, patience, everything. Which is why I'm in work before 7am on less than 3 hours sleep. I recognise this feeling. I'm getting closer and closer to burnout by the day. But - in a fine example of learning by the 4th or 5th time something happens...

Over the past few days, I’ve been sitting with what unfolded on Saturday - and also with the quiet messages many of you have sent since. There is a theme emerging. When a woman stops running from her spiritual past…when she stops performing obedience…and when she stops rejecting everything she once held dear… A new question rises: “If I am free - what do I choose now?” This place is not dramatic.It’s not a crisis.It’s not a collapse of faith. It’s a return to sovereignty. And the moment a...

On Saturday, inside Restriction to Freedom, something became unmistakable. When women are given space - real space - they do not actually want to run away from their spiritual past. They are trying to understand it. Again and again, what surfaced was not rebellion — but a desire for clarity. 🔍Clarity about what still feels alive. 🔍Clarity about what no longer nourishes. 🔍Clarity about what was inherited… and what is actually chosen. Many of the women spoke about how rarely they had been...

I want to ask you a genuine, slightly uncomfortable question today: When was the last time you consciously, intentionally sat down and explored your values - and how you actually embody them in your life? Not the values you inherited. Not the values you were told a good woman or a good believer should hold. Not the values you think you’re supposed to claim. I mean the values that you, in your adult, sovereign, fully‑alive self, truly hold now. Most women I work with realise: They haven’t...

This Saturday, I'm holding a clarity workshop. So often, women come to me and they know they're running away from something, but they're not 100% sure what they're headed towards. And this workshop aims to walk you through this. I'm looking to help you answer such questions as: ✔️What do I actually want from my spiritual life now? ✔️What did I value? What did I resent? ✔️And how do I create a meaningful spiritual path that nourishes—without recreating the rigidity I left behind? It's two...

I know, two emails in one day - a plethora of talk from me! But it's the time of year when my brain is kinda active in this area. Blame Brigid. Over the past few months, so many women in this community have shared a similar feeling with me: “I know what I’m leaving behind… but I’m not fully sure what I’m moving towards.” If you were shaped by rigid religion or restrictive spiritual rules, it makes complete sense. We were taught what to believe, how to behave, what counted as “holy,” "proper",...
