✨ A little Beltane magic from Sunday evening's yoga class! 🌸🕯️

We celebrated the energy of spring with yoga, oracle cards and reflections on growth, renewal and blossoming into new possibilities. 🌿

I love weaving a little magic and inspiration into my yoga classes!

Looking forward to being back on the mat tonight for our 6:15 pm Flow class. There's still room to join us! 🧘‍♀️✨

✨ When a setback becomes a wake-up call... 🔮

Yesterday, I experienced a little disappointment in my day job as a legal transcriptionist. Nothing catastrophic, but enough to make me stop and reconsider where I'm directing my time and energy.

So today, I decided to consult my tarot cards about my career and what the future might hold.

And the very first card I drew?

⚖️ JUSTICE! ⚖️

Well, considering I spend a good portion of my working week transcribing the courts, I had to laugh! 😂 Talk about a card with a sense of humour!

But Justice also speaks of fairness, balance and recognising our worth.

Next came:

⚔️ Ace of Swords — Clarity, fresh perspectives and making conscious decisions.

📯 Judgement — A wake-up call! Time to reassess what really matters and where I'm directing my energy.

Then I asked another question:

What might happen if I truly commit to making the most of my work and opportunities?

And out came...

☀️ THE SUN! ☀️

One of the most joyful and positive cards in the tarot!

And it got me thinking...

Perhaps this setback isn't just something to feel disappointed about. Perhaps it's a cosmic kick up the bum to reconsider how I'm spending my time and energy! 😂

I still need my day job, and I'm grateful for the flexibility it gives me. But if I'm going to spend a good portion of my week doing it, I want to make those hours count.

That means working with greater focus and intention, but also recognising when it's time to call it a day rather than pushing through exhaustion or unproductive hours.

I'm not a machine, and I don't have to sacrifice my wellbeing to be successful.

And perhaps the biggest wake-up call?

It's time to put more energy into the work I truly want to grow!

Alongside transcription, I wear quite a few hats — Soul Coach, yoga teacher and children's party entertainer! 🧚‍♀️✨

These are the things that bring me joy, creativity and a sense of purpose. And they absolutely deserve a little more of my sunshine, too. ☀️

I have practical goals I'm working towards, and money certainly matters. But I don't want to lose sight of the bigger picture while chasing someone else's definition of productivity.

Perhaps real success is finding a way to honour both my financial needs and the life I actually want to create. ❤️

Sometimes the cards don't necessarily tell us what's going to happen. They help us see our circumstances from a different perspective.

And sometimes that's exactly the clarity we need.

💜 Have you ever experienced a setback that unexpectedly inspired you to make a positive change?

🔥 The Beautiful Absurdity of Being Alive ❤️

What a strange, wonderful and occasionally ridiculous few weeks!

I'm currently taking myself through the 28-day Soul Coaching® program, a journey of self-discovery through the four elements of Air, Water, Fire and Earth. It's a beautiful process that I'm looking forward to guiding others through in the future.

After undergoing a medical procedure three weeks ago and navigating some rather challenging court transcription work, I entered Fire Week of my Soul Coaching® journey.

This week's themes? Courage, aliveness, facing our fears and embracing our shadow — including the parts of ourselves we sometimes judge or reject.

Our teacher, Denise Linn, mentioned that unexpected events might happen during Fire Week.

Well, she wasn't wrong! 🤣

On Tuesday night, I found myself teaching a yoga class while experiencing what appeared to be an allergic reaction to a kiwifruit I'd eaten earlier. It was quite frightening, and I ended up at an after-hours medical clinic. Thankfully, everything settled, and I was okay. ❤️

But amongst the challenges, there have also been some beautiful and wonderfully unexpected moments.

A curious currawong visited four days in a row! One day, it perched on a garden chair nearby. On other days, it flew to the clothesline, apparently trying to strike up a conversation!

Two ravens appeared to be enjoying a sophisticated afternoon tea, and I spent a glorious afternoon swinging through the forest like an overexcited child.

And then, a gentle somatic stretching session somehow unleashed an extraordinary fit of uncontrollable giggles! 😂 who knew?!

Somewhere amongst the fear, frustration, joy, wonder and sheer absurdity, I've been reflecting on what it means to embrace ALL of ourselves.

Not just the joyful, confident and inspired parts, but the vulnerable, frightened, messy and wonderfully ridiculous parts too.

Spiritual growth doesn't mean feeling peaceful or enlightened all the time.

Sometimes life is beautiful. Sometimes it's challenging. And sometimes it's just plain bizarre!

Maybe awakening isn't about transcending our humanity. Maybe it's about embracing more of it. ❤️🔥

Here's to being gloriously, imperfectly human!

(Although I think I'll be leaving kiwifruit out of my next smoothie! 🥝🤣)

I loved watching everyone’s completely different journeys and visions unfold — with plenty of creativity, reflection, connection and, of course, snacks. 💕

I left feeling tired, happy and very grateful. ❤️

Thank you to the beautiful women who joined me today and trusted me to guide the experience. 🌈

🌱 What would you love to create next?

Spring feels like the perfect time to pause, reconnect and give a little space to what’s calling you.

A vision doesn’t always have to be a huge goal. Sometimes it can simply be a North Star — a reminder of what matters to you, how you want to feel, and the direction you’d love your life to move in.

And sometimes, those little threads can lead you somewhere you never imagined. ✨

Seed Your Visions is a four-hour mini-retreat combining gentle slow flow yoga, a guided Soul Journey meditation, oracle cards and vision board creation — an afternoon to slow down, listen inward and dream a little.

🌿 Saturday 19 September | 11am–3pm
Tea + treats provided. BYO lunch

📍 432 Yoga, Rowville
✨ $77 | Anyone 16+ welcome
Bookings via 432 Yoga.

Come give your vision some space. 💜

🌱✨ What would you love to create next?

Sometimes we need to step away from everyday life for a few hours, slow down, reconnect with ourselves and give our dreams a little space to emerge.

At Seed Your Visions next Saturday, you'll have four hours just for you — with grounding yoga, a guided Soul Journey, oracle cards, reflection and plenty of time to create your own vision board.

You don't need to arrive with a huge goal or have your future figured out. The afternoon is about listening inward, getting curious about what you'd love more of in your life, and allowing your vision to emerge. 🌈

I've been creating vision boards for years, and the board pictured here with CREATE, MAGIC and FUN is actually three years old. It still inspires me today.

One of my biggest dreams unfolded in a way I never could have predicted when I had the opportunity to train with my teacher, Denise Linn, and travel to California for a retreat with her. ❤️

When I created that board, I didn't have that particular experience in mind — but looking back, I can see so many of the threads were already there: travel, nature, creativity, connection, intuition, adventure and joy.

During our Red Lotus Mystery School training, we also spent an afternoon creating vision boards and learning how to facilitate vision board workshops — some of those photos are included here, along with beautiful boards from my workshop last year & the happy women who created them! ✨

That's one of the things I love most about vision boarding:
You don't have to know exactly where your vision will lead. Sometimes you just need space to breathe, pause, dream & enjoy the creative process. 🌱

🌑✨ Happy New Moon! 🌙 🌚

No matter which hemisphere you're in, New Moons offer us a beautiful opportunity to slow down, pause, turn inward and create a little space for miracles and magic in our lives.

Today I pulled Miracles from Denise Linn's Sacred Destiny Oracle. 🌈

"The storms of the past are passing and your dreams are coming true! No matter what has happened in the past, your future holds abounding miracles. Good fortune, celestial beauty, and inner divinity are expanding within you. Believe that your life is guided. Trust in the goodness of the universe."

And if you're in Melbourne and you're feeling ready to slow down and intentionally plant some seeds for your own next chapter, I'm hosting Seed Your Visions next Saturday at 432 Yoga in Rowville. 🌱✨

It's a nourishing, creative afternoon of slow-flow yoga, a deep Soul Journey meditation and two hours of hands-on vision-board creation — with all materials supplied.

No pressure to have your whole life figured out. Just bring yourself, your curiosity, and a willingness to make a little room for what wants to emerge. 💫

I'll pop the link here 💜
