Practices to prevent + recover from burnout 🔥

On a mission to prove that success ≠ burnout.

I was reflecting lately about why I love thermal circuits so much and I landed on the following:

1. Time away from technology
2. Reconnection with my body through intense physical sensation
3. A feeling of aliveness
4. Time slowing down
5. Presence
6. Connection, if you go with friends
7. Time in nature, if you go somewhere like Mist Thermal Sanctuary
8. The scent of cedar/fire 🔥 I imagine there is something deeply resonant about our ancestral connection to fire. Scent is a powerful reminder.

I could list all the scientific facts about the practice, but like most ancient rituals, there’s something much deeper going on here. Saunas, cold plunges, and fires are not new. The more I do it, the more it feels like a spiritual practice than a physical one. 🙏

A few days to step away from the noise. 🍂

To slow down, get into nature, move gently, eat nourishing food, sleep deeply and reconnect to the things that make you feel alive.

The Slow Burn Retreat is an intentional pause — a space to release what you’ve been carrying, restore your energy and return to joy.

November 4–6 Nectar Yoga Retreat Centre on Bowen Island. 🌲

One cabin left. ✨

Come retreat with me. 🤎

It was a nice summer. ☀️

Mostly spent away from posting here.

Was it a slow summer? Absolutely not. 😂

There was a lot of effort.
A lot of focus.
And significantly less lying on a beach doing nothing than I would have preferred.

But there were also these little moments of stillness and beauty. A settling that’s hard to put into words.

A feeling of landing somewhere true.

Not perfectly balanced. Not particularly slow. But a life that feels like mine.

And lately, I’ve been realizing that might be a better measure of a good life than getting the balance exactly right. ✨

Lately, I’ve been hearing the same thing from a lot of people.

A sense that something is shifting.

That the old way of doing things isn’t quite working anymore.

That they’re being called toward something new, but aren’t entirely sure what that is yet.

As someone who studies Tarot, I find it fascinating that we’re in a Wheel of Fortune year—a year associated with change, turning points, breaking cycles, and unexpected opportunities.

The thing about growth is that it often feels uncomfortable before it feels exciting.

We’re asked to let go of old identities, beliefs, habits, and ways of being before the next chapter can fully emerge.

This is one of the reasons I love Tarot.

Not because it predicts the future, but because it gives us a chance to pause.

To reflect.

To listen.

To reconnect with the wise part of ourselves that often knows more than we realize.

If you’ve been craving clarity, perspective, or a deeper connection with yourself, I’m offering special Mid-Year Tarot Readings throughout June.

A lot of high achieving people spend decades trying to earn a feeling they could never earn because it wasn’t actually for sale.

‘Enough’ isn’t something you earn.

It’s something you learn.

For a long time, I thought the patterns I couldn’t change meant something was wrong with me.

Now I understand it differently.

Your brain isn’t sabotaging you. It’s protecting you.

Every pattern you carry made sense once. It was a reasonable response to your environment, your experiences, your relationships, your survival.

The problem isn’t that your brain learned the pattern. The problem is that it doesn’t always realize you’ve outgrown it.

And something important to remember:

Changing patterns is not equally hard for everyone.

Our ability to step into discomfort is shaped by our history, our families, our nervous systems, and the culture we were raised inside of.

Blaming yourself for inherited patterns keeps you stuck. Understanding them is what begins to set you free.

The goal isn’t shame. It’s awareness.

Because awareness creates choice. And choice is where change begins.

The full article is linked in my bio. 🌿

And if you want to go deeper: this week’s Substack includes a full Pattern Audit for mind, body, heart, and spirit — designed to help you recognize the patterns you’ve been living inside of, and gently decide which ones you’re ready to keep… and which ones you’re ready to release.

What’s one pattern you’ve been circling for years?
