We are not separate from this world. Not a single one of us, no matter where on any spectrum of any politics, religion, race, you may happen to land. And I think a lot of us know that. But knowing it and actually doing something about it are two very different things.

There is a sorting happening right now in the world, and no, I do not mean some kind of second coming. I mean something that began gradually and now is more apparent with the rise of the cost of living. Some businesses did not s...

We are trained from an early age to believe that “too much” is bad. It is communicated to us in all sorts of subtle ways that having too much of anything is a problem.

But what does too much actually mean? It doesn’t necessarily mean that you are greedy if you want too much, or that you are inappropriate or overwhelming if you are told that you are being too much, or if you feel like your energy is too much for people.

That said, not all “too much” energy is the same, and the difference matt...

There’s an important distinction that I keep seeing being blurred over and over again, and while this is not new, it matters more now than it ever has.

It’s the difference between having no capacity and choosing not to use the capacity you have.

When we say things like, I don’t watch the news because it’s too depressing or anxiety-inducing, or I only get my information from certain places, that is often framed as self-care or discernment. And up to a point it is, but we also need to be e...

Here in Ireland, we approach the Winter Solstice of 2025. Whether you are in the northern or southern hemisphere, the Solstice marks a turning, the day when the light pauses, either a longest day or longest night, and then begins to change direction.

But the Solstice is a pause point. My ancestors celebrated this as a returning of longer days, a celebration of return of the sunshine and the promise of a new and perhaps easier year. But the Solstice is the pause, and there is no hurrying the new...

We’ve all been changed by 2025. Our world has changed. A lot of people have been propelled into profoundly life-altering circumstances, and even those who’ve emerged relatively unscathed aren’t untouched. Our collective nervous systems are carrying more stress than even the Covid years, and so far 2026 doesn’t exactly present itself as a year of ease.

And yet, you’ve navigated this year with more discernment than you probably realise.

When I sat down to write this, I wanted to talk about how t...

 The sacred pause is something I’ve been exploring deeply in the last twelve months. It might sound like a lovely, restful process, but it has in fact been one of the hardest ever aspects to move through.

The sacred pause asks us to shed everything that has been moving us on a certain trajectory.
