I remember the exact moment I realised I hadn’t finished a cup of tea hot in so long.
I was standing in the kitchen, reheating the same drink for the third time that morning, when my son asked me to find his sports kit, my partner needed to know what we were eating for dinner, and my phone was ringing with a call I couldn’t ignore.
And I just… stopped.
Because I couldn’t remember the last time someone had asked me what I needed. Including myself.
That weekend, I went away. Just 2 nights. No cooking, no planning, no finding anyone’s anything!
I slept. I ate beautiful plant-based food someone else had made. And I didn’t solve a single problem - bliss!
And when I came home, I wasn’t just rested. I was different. Clearer. Calmer. More myself.
If you’re the woman everyone turns to, but you can’t remember the last time you felt held… this is for you.
Comment ‘RETREAT and I’ll send you the details of my Late-Summer Reset weekend 18-20 September, Wickerwood Farm, near Heathfield, East Sussex. It’s designed for women who give so much, and need a place where they can simply receive.
You deserve a weekend when nobody can ask anything of you.
