Love this! Not taking yourself too flipping seriously can really lighten up your life. Try to catch yourself when you do, and then just giggle, pat your hand and say “there there, are you taking yourself way too seriously again?! Just take a breath and see the humour.”

With less than two weeks to go until our 2026 debut performance, we’re so excited to welcome members of our Valley community, including our valued hotel and BnB owners, managers, and staff to a special FREE concert next Wednesday.

Clarity returns when you breathe slowly. Your sympathetic nervous system relaxes, the oxygen levels reduce (more oxygen equals more unsettled energy) and your brain can come back online. It’s science.

Flip through the people, circumstances, common occurrences, physical sensations, emotional states and negative internal dialogue in your life currently….what/who do you not want for yourself anymore?

So many clients ask me “how do I make new friends?” Either because they lost old friendships, moved away or they shifted in themselves and realized who they thought were friends were actually not. I had asked my coach the same question and she said “do what you love and you will find your tribe”. It took a while to figure out what I loved, I tried different things. But then I joined a and started meeting people. The running group I ended up joining has zero ego, is all about including everyone no matter what level (from walker to speedy gonzales) and is social to the level you’re comfortable with. No pressure. I now have a tribe who provide accountability, joy and structure in my week. It didn’t happen overnight. In the beginning I just showed up on my own, feeling spare. But I was very quickly absorbed into this group of amazing, wholehearted people. Connection is the key to feeling whole. If you’re feeling disconnected, why not invest in finding your tribe? Make the effort. Deal with the discomfort. It’s SO worth it.

Changing your state means you are in control of how you feel, not the outside world, not what that person said or did, not what happened… you.

It’s almost 2026! Before you hit midnight, think of the one word that is the tip of the arrow you are shooting into 2026. Mine is “surrender”… what’s yours?

Whether you are celebrating Christmas or just enjoying a few days off (hopefully), I wish you a restorative festive season with plenty of time to pick up that book you’ve been wanting to read, put your weary feet up and exhale. Whether you thrived or barely just made it through this year, you did it. 🙌

No matter how hard you try to do things right, be a good person, look after others and your own needs, be responsible and reasonable, life will always throw you a curve ball. Sometimes life is just a burnt marshmallow 😆
