For deep feelers and sensitives ready to declutter with gratitude and create space for what matters. Here, we embrace the power of letting go - not just of our physical things, but of the emotional and energetic weight we quietly carry.

Sensitive Stories - Tidying Up and Letting Go of Overwhelm

🎧 This convo helped someone declutter with joy - maybe you too?

"Outer order contributes to inner calm." - Gretchen Rubin Hi Friend! I recently had the most nourishing chat on the Sensitive Stories podcast created by April Snow of Sensitive Strengths - and I’m so happy to share it with you 💛 In this episode, we dive into something close to my heart: the deeper impacts of clutter, and how tidying up can be a truly healing, transformative process - especially for sensitive souls. We also explored: 🌿 How clutter affects our emotional, mental & physical...

🎉 It’s my birthday - but the gift is for you 💝

“The best gift you can give is your presence.” – Thich Nhat Hanh ✨ I know I usually just pop into your inbox once a month — but today is a special one-off birthday note (with a little gift inside) 💛 Hi friends! 🎉 It’s my birthday today - and I began the morning with an ancestral meditation, giving thanks for those who came before me. Their strength, their love, their quiet resilience - I’m so grateful to be where I am now in my healing journey. To be alive. To treasure each day. One message...

✨ Circle of Joy has moved – come join us, if the time feels right ✨

If you’ve been part of the Circle of Joy community - whether actively or quietly - I wanted to let you know that we’ve now moved over to Substack, where our monthly themes, reflections, and live sessions come together in one grounded space. Each month, we explore a theme to help you gently declutter - not just your home, but your mind, your time,...

💌 a love letter to letting go 💌

“The ache for home lives in all of us — the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.” - Maya Angelou Hi Friend, I'm softly resurfacing with something close to my heart - my very first reflection on Substack is now live. 🌿 It’s called “Coming Home to Myself Through Clutter” - a personal story about sensitivity, early motherhood, and how the simple act of letting go became a doorway to healing. As I slowly move away from other social media platforms - this space is where I’ll...

✨ We begin tomorrow – 7 days to a little more clarity

"Clarity comes from letting go of what no longer serves you."

How beautifully you are learning the art of surrender. The courage to let  go, in the wild of your unknowns. - Morgan Harper Nichols

When Plans Change: A Lesson in Letting Go

"Surrender to what is. Let go of what was. Have faith in what will be" - Sonia Ricotti Dear Friend, Right now, as I type this, I was supposed to be somewhere else. Tomorrow, my family and I were meant to be boarding a plane, crossing the ocean to visit loved ones in Hong Kong, followed by a long-awaited trip to Japan. I could almost feel the excitement of landing, the warmth of familiar hugs, and the joy of showing my children the places that shaped our family’s story. But that trip is not...

Let’s Begin Again: A Gentle Reset for the Year 🌿

"And suddenly you know: It’s time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings." - Meister Eckhart Dear friend, As we march into the Spring Equinox, we’re stepping into a season of renewal.

Creating Space for Love: A Lesson from My 17-Year-Old Self 💞

"You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free." - Thích Nhất Hạnh Hi Reader, Love has been on my mind lately. Over the weekend, my husband and I celebrated 21 years since we first met - on Valentine’s Day, no less! The irony isn’t lost on me, considering we don’t celebrate commercial holidays 😅 We’ve both been stretched thin this past month, so I planned a last-minute staycation in our beautiful city, Edinburgh (note to self: never book Valentine’s weekend last-minute!) It...

Feeling stretched thin? Let’s reset together 💞

"Action is the antidote to overwhelm." - Marie Forleo Hi Reader, I’ll be honest - I’ve had a wobbly start to February. I’ve been feeling stretched between solo parenting, hosting guests, new work schedules, kids’ term break, and anticipatory grief. It’s been a heady mix, and not gonna lie - my well-intended habits have taken a backseat. Device creep has been sneaking into my sanctuary, and as they say, it only takes two days to fall out of a habit...! Even my self-practice for yoga has...
