25.01.2022 ‘Be both soft and wild. Just like the moon. Or the storm. Or the sea’. - Victoria Erickson. #flow with the #phases of #life #wild #moon... #flow with the #phases of #life #wild #moon

24.01.2022 Life is a lot like riding a bike. It’s exhilarating. Breath taking, as momentum pulls you further down the hill, faster and faster. But. These moments, these feelings of freedom and joy, first mean we need to ride up the hill... Every. Hill. Hurts. Every thought tells me to stop. My heart beat is thundering. But, we can’t experience the thrill that’s waiting for us on the other side of the hill if we’re too afraid to climb. So when my daughter is riding next to me, and the pain is almost too much. When our legs burn like fire and there is almost no breath left at all, I remind her, ‘we can do hard things, baby’. Then, the pain lifts. And, the air floods back into our lungs, only to be taken away again as we hurtle down the hill. This is why we are alive! We think we want life to be easy. To be comfortable. To be steady. But that is not exhilarating. Our hills challenge us to grow. To experience, to expand, to transform. Hills are hard. Hills will take your breath away and buckle your knees. But baby, we can do hard things. . . . #bike #life #challenges #transformation

21.01.2022 I feel a beautiful sadness within me. As one life ends, I can’t help but to feel more alive than ever before. More in awe of this magnificent, albeit short life.... More grateful for each and every moment. Even those moments where the pain is buckling your knees from beneath. We came here to experience. Love, heartache and everything in-between. Every emotion is a blessing. Every moment is a gift. There is beauty in all of life, if you just allow yourself to feel it all. Today, I am grateful for the beautiful #sadness within.

21.01.2022 What to eat? What not to eat? When to eat? How much to eat? Why is nutrition so damn complicated?!?! We all want to know the answers to those fundamental questions. And, I wish I could give you the correct answer.... But, the truth is. We’re all so wildly different. What works for one, won’t necessarily work for another. So whilst there are many great experts out there who can guide you on your journey of health, the trick is, to uncover the secret for yourself. Health is not a fad diet or a food plan. Health is an unending path of self-discovery, transformation and transcendence. We each must discover what our body needs. Our food should not only nourish our body, but also our mind and our spirit. Food should energise us. It should connect us. Food should be the fuel in which we accomplish great things. But amidst all of the overwhelming and conflicting advice, where do we even begin to start? I want to share with you, 4 core concepts that helped me to navigate my relationship with food. 1. One hour after eating, you should feel ENERGISED. 2. One hour after eating, you should feel FOCUSED. 3. One hour after eating, you should feel SATIATED. 4. One hour after eating, you should feel COMFORTABLE in your body. How do you feel after eating?... No one but you can answer this question. If you’re not feeling energised, focused, satiated and comfortable after eating, the food you’re consuming might not be working for YOU! I encourage you, play with your food. Experiment. Open your mind. Try new things. Be prepared for setbacks. And most importantly, begin to trust your own guidance. No one else knows your body as you do. Tune in, cultivate awareness and discover who you are.

19.01.2022 The art of surrender . . . #surrender

19.01.2022 In 2014, when Aaron I separated, I started seeing a psychotherapist. I remember one session in particular. She was trying (miserably) to convince me, that despite my biggest, most spectacular efforts, I couldn’t fix what was happening around me. Most specifically, I couldn’t fix Aaron. (Pfft. She obviously underestimated my capabilities). Watch me, fool! As we started to dig, just below the surface, we uncovered my innate tendency and need to always fix the ‘broken’ things ar...ound me. Because, if Aaron wasn’t ok, then that meant, I wasn’t ok!!! My need to fix the things around me provided me with comfort and safety. After spending a lifetime in a broken and abusive home, walking around on eggshells, I quickly learned how to manipulate the environment around me to survive. If everyone and everything around me was ok, then I was ok... As an adult, this is a very dangerous and unsustainable state of mind. I later came to realise (kicking and screaming) that my therapist, was indeed, correct. And no matter how damn hard I tried, I couldn’t fix what was going on around me. I couldn’t fix him. Slowly, I learned (or am still learning) that it’s possible to be ok even when those around me aren’t. And that by trying to ‘fix’ others, what I’m really trying to do is fix me. These days, when those around me aren’t ok, I first notice how uncomfortable this makes me feel. Then I remind myself (over and over again), that ‘I am ok and I don’t need to fix this’. By allowing my own discomfort, I gift others the opportunity to sit and experience their own pain and suffering. In a society quick to suppress and repel any uncomfortable emotions, this is a gift in disguise. By always fixing, we take away another person’s capacity to experience, transcend and transform. These days, when those around me are in pain, I’m aware that I don’t need to change it, fix it, or make it go away. Instead, I recognise your pain, I see your pain, I honour your pain and I’ll sit with you while you experience this fully. It’s ok, not to be ok. It’s ok, to be ok, even when those around you aren’t. Pain doesn’t need to be fixed. It needs to be felt. (I’m still a #fixer at heart though!)

14.01.2022 Yesterday, we rode to honour the late Gary Ralph. Whilst riding, I couldn’t help but appreciate how darn magnificent this life is. I felt so alive. It wasn’t just the adrenaline-exhilaration of high speeds (though that does feel truly liberating - and sometimes terrifying). But also, the camaraderie. Friends, family and strangers. The riders in front, the riders behind. The riders nodding hello as they passed by.... It was the feel of the breeze hitting your whole body, the winding roads and rolling hills. It was the sunshine, sunburn and often times, the sweltering heat. It was the vanilla milkshake and stolen hot chips. It was the roar of the bikes and the simultaneous silence of the world outside my helmet. It was the laughter and sore cheeks (both face and bum). We were riding for something greater than ourselves. To honour the life of another. And in doing so, we honoured our own lives. Thank you Gary Ralph for gifting us this experience. Yesterday couldn’t have been more perfect! #grateful #alive #lifeisforliving

10.01.2022 I love this photo so much!!! Andy, the photographer captured a magnificent moment of pure joy. This is exactly how I want to live my entire life; head flung back, tonsils hanging out for all to see. (I also thoroughly enjoy being carried like a cutie, snuggly koala). . Thank you @aaron.c86 for always making me laugh. These moments are my greatest blessings! . (Now, please carry me to the kitchen).

09.01.2022 I know a lot of people get their back up when I speak out and share my opinion. Not necessarily because of what I say. But simply because, I’m the one saying it. I see this. I see this in my family, my friends, my colleagues. Certainly not everyone; I’m blessed to have many supporters in my corner. But nevertheless, I see it. Sometimes, we’re so blind to what is being said because of our own perceptions, beliefs, and limitations.... How much of what we know and believe to be true is filtered through this lens? Everything! When we take in information, whether we’re consciously aware of it or not, we filter it. We manipulate it. We judge it. We label it. And if the information (or the person sharing said information) aligns with our own set of beliefs, prejudices, experiences, education, and limitations, then we accept this. Or dismiss it. How much knowledge and insight do we lose because we’re so quick to judge? What if we always had something to learn, whether we agreed or not? Because we can still learn whilst respectfully disagreeing. What if we could put ourselves aside for just a moment to absorb a much bigger picture? What if the end result wasn't who was right or wrong, rather, it was simply to glimpse a different perspective? To gain greater insight? If you’re triggered by something or someone, ask yourself why?... Is it what they said? Or who they are? And what does that mean to you?... Being triggered by someone has nothing to do with them and everything to do with you! Your trigger. Your journey! Try not to get in your own way!
