Can you believe I made it happen!

We spend so long looking for things to make us feel better; a glass of wine, a new life hack, productivity strategy, diet, another cup of coffee, self-help book etc - all of it, when waiting for you just outside your front door is THE most regulating thing you can ever imagine. Nature - being outside! FREE.
And what I mean by ‘regulating’ is bringing about the body’s natural, automatic ability to shift into a state of calm and recovery, so you can feel more emotionally stable, clear-headed, present in your life, in control and with a sense of inner peace. Lovely! That feeling we are all searching for when we are trying out ‘all the things’.
Outdoors. Nature. That’s where it’s at.
So, get out there and soak up all the sunshine (if you’ve got it!). Even if it’s cold, get your coat on, get outside. If walking is difficult, just sit somewhere, breathe in that fresh air, fill your lungs with that fresh newness and feel yourself being part of nature.
And no, I’m not being all woo woo, far from it. What I’m being is a human being living on this earth, not a robot confined to four walls and a mobile phone. We’re not designed for that. We are designed to be outside in nature. So get out there and enjoy it!
Now… Speaking of getting out into the sunshine, something incredibly exciting has happened this week. And when I say incredibly exciting, I really, really mean it.
If you’ve been in our world for a while, you may have heard me mention a three-night immersive break away in Sorrento that I had planned for my clients and friends? Well, guess what? It’s really happening! Three nights, beginning on the 19th of September 2025. Dates are booked, the brochure is in production, plans are 100% afoot and nearly firmed up, we are excited beyond belief over here, and very soon I get to tell you all about it.
But this isn’t me selling to you. I won’t need to, if it’s right for you, you’ll want to come anyway.
And while I can’t wait to tell you more, what really stands out to me most is why this matters so much.
In July last year, when I first stepped out of that plane into Naples and travelled to Sorrento, I was met with a feeling inside me that moved me so deeply, the first thing I thought was I need to share this feeling. People need to experience this alive feeling.
And I just knew there and then that an experiential break away was something I wanted to and would organise.
And that’s why I’m so excited, because between me and my wonderful team, we’ve actually made it happen.
(A caveat here - without my wonderful team, I have no idea if it would ever have got out of my head and into the world. And I never will know, because I do have my team, and I’m so incredibly grateful.)
I will tell you more about it very soon, but for now, I want you to really hear the lesson I take from this. If something moves you deeply, if it is speaking to you in that way, that is your thing. That movement, that feeling of deep grounding, of knowing it’s right for you, is your intuition. It’s your guide.
From here, you get to choose whether to live your life including more of this feeling or not. However you might go on to create it.
I told somebody recently about my plans for Sorrento, their response was, "I’d be absolutely terrified doing something like that."
Not for me, but for the person who said it, I could almost feel the metaphorical lid go back on the box, a dream not dared to be pursued, the box ready to be put back up on a shelf to collect dust.
I don’t want anything that fills me with such excitement to ever be put in a box collecting dust.
I made a promise to myself in 2020, to live the fullest life possible for me. To live my fullest expression, and take others with me on their own journey doing the same.
I made that commitment, and I’m seeing it through, and I could not feel more proud.
And there’s nothing that makes me prouder than seeing and hearing you do the same, and I know you do because I receive messages, emails and texts every single day telling me so. And wow, what an absolute privilege. Thank you!
So, I think this might be my record for keeping to the smallest word count yet on my weekly emails - wahoo…! But I’m off now to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It was a few days ago, but she’s like The Queen - we like to have a few! So I’m off for cake and celebrations with family, and shall very much enjoy that too.
Have an absolutely gorgeous week ahead.
