Becoming Radiant and Brave in Midlife
TO BE RADIANT IS TO SHINE FROM WITHIN
To be radiant is to send out light from the inside, to glow brightly with an energy that can be felt by others too. The word radiare in Latin means to emit rays. This means that radiance is not something we chase—it is something we become. It is not a surface beauty. It is the kind of light that doesn’t just illuminate—it invites, opens, and draws others in. ...
Your Pelvic Floor and Menopause
Being aware of your pelvic floor—both in terms of understanding your anatomy and feeling connected to this part of your body—is key to feminine embodiment, health, and radiance. It’s an empowering practice for every woman, including you!
As you move through the menopause transition (i.e., perimenopause), your pelvic floor and all that it encompasses will naturally change. Once you reach menopause...
I was embarrassed to be a woman
Feeling immensely grateful today for the magnificent women in my life. Do you have GREAT women in your life?
I am literally surrounded by a community of women that show me, day after day, through many tiny little things, that I BELONG, that I am WELCOME, that I MATTER, that I am LOVED, even when I'm not perfect!

Mama Gaia is pregnant with life. At Imbolc - 1-2 February - our Celtic ancestors celebrated this fertility of the lands and called for the support and protection of the Goddess Brigid for their flocks and fields to bring abundance. They made Brigid dolls and laid her with the magic wand, a symbol of Dagda, the good god of masculine fertility.
It’s symbolic of our inner creativity and potential too....

Afraid to go beyond your comfort zone? Don’t steal someone else’s shoes
As I woke from a dream this morning, I felt unsettled by the clarity of the message.
“Don’t try to wear other people’s shoes that are too big for you.”
In my dream I felt immense disappointment realizing the shoes were too big. I had imagined them fitting like a glove, embracing my feet for the onward journey.
I felt deep shame too, trying to fit into and even taking someone else’s shoes. ...
When it all feels TOO MUCH
Re-Sourcing. Womb to Womb. Heart to Heart. Face to Face. With myself. With the Earth. In order to rise again, more deeply rooted, with my aching heart, open to listen and to learn to love. ⠀
