Soul Balance - Fertility and Embodied Movement

Reflecting back, that was always the answer.

🫶 When faced with infertility, I needed to give myself some grace - I started meditating for calm.
🫶 With IVF, we prioritised the little moments of kindness and connection - grabbing coffee dates together after consultations.
🫶 When facing huge challenge and conflict at work - I leant into talking therapy with friendship support.
🫶 When facing physical challenges like the marathons - I took up yoga, stretching, and refocused on the mindset.
🫶 When facing personal challenges, I sought community for understanding and empathy.
🫶 When unsure of my work and feeling like I had asked too much of myself, I sought coaching and mentorship.

Each time I have faced a challenging path, there has been moments of gentleness to help me through them. Has it always been easy? Absolutely not. Did I feel like it was all too much at some points? Absolutely yes. And it's only in the looking back now I can see that pattern - gentleness, self love, and self kindness helped me through. And that's why I'm so passionate about what I do now - helping people to gain that connection with themselves, so they too can support themselves through the challenges ahead.

Save this for when you need a reminder that it's ok to pause and be kind with yourself. 🫶

Our judgements of others are often a mirror on ourselves.

The thing is, we may not know where these judgements have come into our subconscious. And there they are, shaping our belief, our action, and our identity. Until one day you think, hold on a minute....that's not what I actually believe, why is that there? In this scenario - if 'loving yourself' is deemed as 'bad'/ too much, then reflect that back on you....where have you held yourself back from showing yourself pride/ love/ gratitude/ celebration/ appreciation for who you are? Have you kept yourself small so you don't get 'seen' as 'too egotistical' or 'she thinks too much of herself'. Notice honestly, beyond the head voice. How does that make you feel?

And we're not talking here about ignoring the feelings of others....simply noticing how often you've put yourself to the very bottom of the pile.

Coaching helps with this, to unpick and explore those beliefs that might be holding you back, or those underlying assumptions and collections of other voices and opinions that you have begun to realise aren't your own, or aren't wanted as your own.

If you'd like to explore this for you, for whatever path you find yourself on, DM me and let's get on a free call to explore your options.

Why am I not relaxed though...I've tried so hard!

Oh I've so been there with this, deeply felt it, until I started listening to my body more.

Do you recognise your subtle body signals? Or notice them when you've already reached burnout, anger out maybe overwhelm?

Sometimes those negative head voices are so loud aren't they?

Sometimes they become so engrained in our life, our mindset, that until we pause and reflect, until we call them out, they can just become stuck there. So...

Stop here. Now.

Offer yourself some kind words. You are a beautiful, unique expression of life and love. There is only one of you in the whole world. Show yourself some compassion.

We can't silence negative thoughts, but we can learn to see them for what they are and counter them with kindness. 🫶
