Signs

June 19, 2020

A feather and a butterfly. Pretty generic signs - but that never makes them any less meaningful to me.

This may sound very strange and a little unexpected from a spiritual and female empowerment platform, but this is still a one-woman-show, and this woman had to bury her favourite chicken the other day. 
When I moved back in with my parents a few months ago (bye Bali, hello pandemic!), I took up some chores around their countryside home, including taking care of our family dog and the chickens.


Long story short – my favourite one got pretty sick over a week ago and after a stressful week trying to take care of her (which isn’t very easy considering they are not necessarily pets – even though I like to treat them as such), she passed away on Monday. I’m glad she’s not in pain anymore, of course, but I did get really emotional. In various ways the caring, the concerns and the letting go brought up quite a few triggers. 



But I also smiled. I smiled straight after patting the grass and soil back on the little carved out hole. I smiled because as I turned around to face the farmlands, I stumbled over a black feather. A large one, stuck straight into the soil about a meter away from my precious feathery friend. I picked it up and stuck it next to the stone securing the loose soil in place. 


As I made my way back to our garden fence, I spotted a white butterfly on the side of the greenhouse, sitting there patiently. Waiting for me. It fluttered around me for a little while as I walked back to the house, until I started to smile. It was like the butterfly thought, ‘mission accomplished, off I go’. 

For many years now I have a deal with the Universe. Whenever I need it, wherever I go, if there’s a butterfly around, I know I’m being supported. Lately, the feather-thing has symbolised a somewhat similar sign- that I’m on the right path. I went from 2 to 20 feathers in the last three months. 



I recently read the beautiful work ‘Signs’ by Laura Lynne Jackson, about our connection to ‘the Other side’, or to energies / spirits / guides [depending if and how you feel into this topic]. The book is a collection of stories of people’s experiences with family members and friends who have crossed, as well as useful tools to tap into this ability to connect ourselves. Laura Lynne also makes an appearance on the series Goop Lab on Netflix. 


Feeling into her work made me realise I’m not ‘crazy’. That everything and anything around us is interconnected and there’s so much more to this life than we can perceive on a physical level. A rush of wind when you think of a loved one, a butterfly fluttering past when you feel heavy, a feather in the middle of the road when you’re unsure of a decision… I choose to believe it’s not coincidence or a stroke of luck. I choose to believe in the magic of this Universe. 



I choose to believe my little chicken is running happily again somewhere else. I choose to believe there’s more – and it’s bringing a lot of relief, joy and peace into my life. 


Do you have a sign? If so – in what way does it bring you comfort? If not – what’s one of the first things that come to mind (can be specific or generic) that you’d like to see as a means of a little bit of support?

I didn't know life could feel like this... ⁠
⁠
In the past few months, an internal shift has taken place. ⁠
✨ I feel abundant, regardless of how much money is in the bank. ⁠
✨ I feel spacious, even though I literally moved into a tiny house together with my partner. ⁠
✨ I feel connected to our community, even though all the offerings inside my heart aren't out into the world yet (coming soon!) and I've been more offline than ever. ⁠
⁠
Somethings clicked into place, and I thank all the inner work of the past 6+ years for it. ⁠
⁠
It's not so much the external changes that have provided this shift. I could still be knee deep into self doubt or scarcity, no matter the situation. It's not that. ⁠
⁠
It's that I'm finally embodying where my mindset was - or wanted to be -  all along. My nervous system can relax within all the change and open-mindedness of my current work & life situation. I feel confident about where I'm headed. I feel safe, secure and loved from within. ⁠
⁠
Whew, I am so grateful for that. ⁠
And I wish the exact same for you. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Is your heart craving this embodied and empowered change this year? Is 2023 the year you're going to put yourself first, dive deep into your inner world and come out the other side trusting your intuition, feeling happy and confident? ⁠
⁠
Allow me to support you on this journey. Check the link in bio or my stories for the link to book your 30 minute discovery call - I'm opening up two spaces to work with me 1:1 for the next 6 or 12 months. So, if the idea of having an intuitive mentor cheering you on and supporting you through the highs and lows of your journey, get yourself a discovery call with me *no strings attached* and let's see how I can support you this year! ⁠
⁠
It would be an honour to hold space for you x 🧡⁠

2022 - you've been so good to me! 🧡⁠
⁠
With the first ever retreat, the move to the tiny house, and all of its lessons and blessings in between, I've absolutely loved this year. ⁠
⁠
And I can feel that it's time to integrate these experiences even deeper in the time to come. ⁠
I'll be taking a bit of a break in posting regularly and creating, because I feel like there is so much that wants to be shared and offered that I need to sit with that first. ⁠
⁠
From January onwards you can check out all the details for the July retreat I'll be hosting with @drsarahcoxon & when I'll be back it'll be with an incredible community-based virtual experience too. I can feel it brewing. It just needs beautiful, luscious and indulgent time, patience and tending. ⁠
⁠
I'll see you very soon & for now, have a wonderful end to 2022 and a magical start to 2023. ✨ So much love for you, sister x

A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. ⁠
⁠
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! ⁠
⁠
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? ⁠
⁠
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. ⁠
⁠
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. ⁠
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! ⁠
⁠
Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! ⁠
⁠
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)

Let's make a self care list together...! 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. ⁠
⁠
Gah... can't we all relate?! 😞⁠
⁠
During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. ⁠
We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. 👏🏼⁠
⁠
This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. 🧡⁠
It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. 🔥⁠
⁠
If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart! And if you'd like to receive tools and space to release the pressure around your self care and empowerment journey, maybe 1:1 mentorship is the one for you. DM me for more details ! x
