I think one of the hardest things about finding yourself is realising how easily you can still lose yourself trying to be accepted.

Even now, I catch myself wondering if I’m too much? If I should tone it down, soften the edges, keep certain parts of myself quiet so I’m a little easier to understand, a little easier to love…

And honestly, I’m fu***ng tired of questioning the parts of me that make me who I am.

I know what it feels like to slowly disappear inside a life that looks *perfectly fine* from the outside. To be so busy being understanding, being “good”, being what’s needed, that you stop asking yourself whether you’re actually happy.

You don’t always notice it happening. Sometimes you only realise how far you’ve drifted from yourself when you finally get a taste of what it feels like to be free again.

And once you’ve felt that, something changes.

You start to understand that peace isn’t keeping everyone else happy. It’s being able to live with yourself, knowing you haven’t betrayed who you are - just to be accepted.

I still have those moments where the old doubts creep in. Where I catch myself overthinking, questioning, wondering if being fully myself will be too much for someone.

But I know what it costs me to keep making myself smaller, and I’m no longer willing to pay that price!

I want to feel deeply, love fiercely, laugh loudly, speak honestly and follow the things that light me all the way up! I want to be soft without shrinking, independent without apology and open hearted without losing myself in the process.

Will everyone understand me? Probably not.
Will I get it wrong sometimes? Absolutely.

But I would rather be messy, misunderstood and completely myself than spend another fu***ng day editing my existence to make it more comfortable for everyone else.

I’ve fought too hard to find my way back to myself to leave her behind now.

I want all of it! The depth, the joy, the absolute chaos, the freedom, the love, the life I haven’t even lived yet!

And I’m done asking myself whether I’m allowed to want it…

Because I fu***ng am.

And so are you! ❤️‍🔥

✨ AWAKEN WITHIN ✨

with Max Rooke & Shannon Patching

9D Breathwork × Spinal Energetics × Sound

Saturday, 17 October | 10am–12pm
SANA RECOVERY | SAUNA | ICEBATH | WELLNESS — Mt Duneed

Optional ice bath + sauna recovery session afterwards.

What happens when you stop trying to think your way through everything - and finally give yourself permission to just be?

Awaken Within is an immersive two hour experience created by Max and Shannon, bringing together two different worlds of body, breath, energy and sound.

Max’s work draws from almost two decades in elite AFL, breathwork, mindfulness and cold exposure. As a certified Wim Hof Method instructor, he combines conscious breathing with immersive 9D Breathwork journeys, sound, binaural beats, frequencies and guided inner exploration.

Shannon brings the energetic side of the experience through Soul Mediumship, Spinal Energetics, intuitive energy work, trauma informed Aaruka Therapy and crystal sound bowls - creating space for the body to soften, release and reconnect with its own inner wisdom.

And this is where the two worlds meet.

For two hours, there is nothing you need to solve, achieve, understand or perform.

No rushing.
No outside noise.
No need to have the right words.

Just time to close your eyes, breathe, listen, feel and come back to yourself.

You don’t need any previous experience with breathwork, energy work or Spinal Energetics.

Just come as you are.

Give yourself two hours to stop doing and simply be.

Spaces are intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate and deeply immersive.

Looking forward to it,
Max & Shannon

I’ve been a little quiet on here lately because, honestly, I’ve been too busy LIVING and LOVING this little life of mine ☀️💃🦋

One thing I learnt when I completely stepped away from social media for 5 months last year was just how free I feel when I’m actually living it! Doing the ordinary things. Being present. Going places, making memories, laughing, working on my own wellbeing, soaking up the sunshine, spending time with people I love… all the stuff that actually makes life feel like life. 😇

Social media has become way too serious, and as you all know… that’s just not my vibe lol. 😂

Anyway, I’ve opened up some extra availability this week for both in person and online sessions with me.

Tuesday • Wednesday • Thursday • Friday

If you’ve been wanting to book in, I’d absolutely love to see you. 🫶

And in the meantime, go do something a little special for yourself today. Grab a coffee, pick up the book you have been putting off, sit in on the grass, and just romanticise the ordinary stuff. 😘

Have the best day!

This is what grief looks like too…

Losing a child is so unbelievably cruel! Some days I still wonder how I’m going to survive another moment without Jude’s physical touch. Another day without his tiny little self snuggled into mine. And to be clear, there are days where the reality of it feels impossible to comprehend!

But I don’t let myself stay there.

Not because the grief isn’t real. It’s fu***ng enormous! But I don’t want to be completely drowned by something I have no power to change.

I want Jude’s life to mean something!!

Losing him has given my own life a meaning I didn’t understand before. It’s changed the way I mother my other boys too. My patience and understanding is more than just empathy now. I know how quickly everything can change, and what a privilege it is to have them here, their arms wrapped around me, watching them grow into themselves... Things I can only dream about now for Jude.

It changed me spiritually too. I’ve always been incredibly sensitive and connected to spirit, but losing Jude took my mediumship somewhere much deeper than I could have imagined, ever! I know from my own experiences that he hasn’t simply ceased to exist because I can no longer touch him.

I still experience him!

And I think that’s why I’ve become more willing to stretch myself out of my comfort zones constantly, say yes when I feel it, and actually experience this life as fully as I can!

I don’t want Jude’s story to end with the day he died…

I want his life to keep changing mine - how I mother, how I love, how I see people and how I understand the universe and all the unseen.

I can’t change what happened to Jude, so I choose what I do with the life his existence gave me.

How can you live more fully today?

I’ve been thinking about the Geelong Ladies Social Evening and what I actually wanted to create…

Which is simply a night for women to come together, have fun and show up as themselves. For deeper conversations and genuine connections to happen naturally along the way.

I wanted women to have a really good night!!

I wanted them to get dressed up and feel good in what they were wearing. To eat beautiful food, have a cocktail or two, laugh, dance, talk, and meet women they probably never would have crossed paths with otherwise.

I wanted it to feel pretty. Warm. Safe. A little bit sexy and a lot more special. Like you had stepped out of your normal life for a few hours.

Because I think we can lose that part of ourselves…

The part that wants to get dressed up just because! The part that wants to go somewhere beautiful and stay out a little too late. The part that isn’t thinking about the kids, the house, work, everyone else’s needs or what needs to be done tomorrow.

One gorgeous lady told me she couldn’t remember the last time she’d gotten dressed up and gone out like that. She was so nervous about coming that she almost didn’t walk in!

And honestly, that is why I did this!!

Sometimes we forget that healing doesn’t always have to be so serious!

Sometimes looking after yourself can be as simple as remembering that you’re still allowed to have fun. 💃

You’re allowed to feel beautiful!

You’re allowed to eat good food and drink cocktails and laugh with women you met five minutes ago!!

You’re allowed to have a life that isn’t just about the roles you carry.

And when I looked around that room and saw all of that happening, I knew the little idea I’d had in my head for so long had actually become real!

So to every brave woman who said yes to my vision, got dressed up, walked through that door and trusted me with a night that didn’t even exist yet… thank you! 🥹

Especially those who came alone, nervous and almost talked themselves out of it. (Nearly all of you!)

And to everyone who watched my story Friday night and thought, “Ohhh… I should’ve come.”

Yes. Yes you should have!! 😂

Next one.😉

SOLD OUT!! 👏🥂🌹

All 25 seats for our Geelong Ladies Social Dinner at Ooh Baby are officially TAKEN!

Honestly, how bloody exciting is that?! 🥹🥳

I had an idea for a night where women of Geelong could come together, meet some new people, eat, drink, laugh, dance and just have a really good time… and now 25 of you are coming along to do exactly that!!

I’m SO excited for this one!

And judging by the amount of messages I’ve had from women who missed out… I’m thinking this probably shouldn’t be the last one 👀

Geelong ladies… should we do another? 💃🥂✨

Good morning, you fiery little jalapeño 🌶️

Today, I want you to care significantly less about whether you’re doing it “right” and significantly more about whether you’re actually enjoying your life!!

Say the thing.
Change your mind.
Wear the sexy outfit.
Take the photo.
Dance in the kitchen.
Have courage to say NO.

Go be gloriously yourself today and have the BEST f**king day!

Love Shan xx

In another life, you are waking up today with your family beside you, celebrating your special day and watching you open your gifts.

In another life, I know what you look like at six years old. I know the sound of your voice, the things that make you laugh, the music you love and the things you would be asking for on your birthday. I know what you are like when you wake up excited, what you would choose for breakfast and how you would spend your special day. ♌️

In another life, I get to watch you grow. I get to see your little personality continue to unfold, to watch you become more and more of the person you were always meant to be, and to celebrate every birthday alongside you.

But in this life, I am sending balloons, bubbles and your favourite music to Heaven instead, hoping somehow they find their way to you and remind you just how deeply you are loved. 🙏🤍

You are so very missed today, JuJu, and every other moment of all the days since you went away. I wonder about you constantly. About who you would be, what you would love, what you would say and all the beautiful little pieces of you that I never got the chance to know.

You should be here. We should be celebrating your 6th birthday together! I should be watching you open your presents, hearing your laughter and reminding you just how loved you are. 😭

Happy heavenly 6th birthday, my brave little Leo ♌️🤍

I hope you know that you are loved in this life, in every life and in every moment in between.

Loving you always and forever,

Mumma xx

This was me, pregnant with Jude, six years ago today. 🤍

His birthday is this Friday.

Grief has felt beyond heavy this week. I’m still showing up, still moving through my days. Still doing the things that need to be done.

But there is a very heavy, dull ache sitting right there beneath it all. Always present like a shadow that you can’t escape.

I can smile. I can laugh. I can have meaningful conversations and hold space for others. I can go about my day… and still be carrying something incredibly heavy inside me without anyone noticing.

And I think this is why I feel so passionately about grief, grieving and healing.

Because you truly never know what someone is carrying inside their heart.

The person smiling at you in the supermarket might have just received heartbreaking news. The person who seems distracted might be missing someone they love more than words could ever explain. The person sitting beside you might be carrying a grief you know nothing about.

So please… be gentle.

Offer the smile to a complete stranger. Let someone merge in traffic and give them a wave. Say thank you and hold their gaze for an extra second so they know you meant it. Be patient for an extra moment. Speak kindly, even when you’re frustrated.!

You truly never know what is happening in someone’s world.

And sometimes, the smallest gesture can make the biggest difference 🤍

A simple act of kindness.

You may never know the impact you had on someone that day.

But I promise you… sometimes, when someone is carrying something so heavy, those little moments of kindness can be the very thing that helps them keep moving forward. 🤍

This week, I am carrying my grief for Jude very heavily.

And I am also carrying so much love.

Six years ago, I was carrying him.
Today, I carry him in a different way. 💔🤍
