Somatic Practices to Support You When You Feel Drained, Flat, or Numb
Many of us experience moments in our lives when we feel drained, flat, or numb—disconnected from our bodies, our emotions, and maybe our sense of purpose.
This can feel heavy and unsettling, leaving us unsure of how to find our way back to a sense of presence and vitality.
During these times, somatic practices can be a lifeline. They can offer simple but profound ways to restore our energy, bring us back into our body, and help us feel present again.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what it means to feel somatically disconnected, and simple, nurturing practices to help you begin to reconnect with your body and restore your energy.
Embodied Feminine Leadership: your way of being is a way of leading
As women, we are often conflicted about leadership.
We might want to step up to lead and take a stance for what we believe in, but the current style of leadership that is role modelled to us isn’t always one we are willing to embrace. It often demands that we abandon parts of who we are, in order to fit in and belong. This way of leading omits a huge portion of who we are as women, and undervalues the unique qualities that we are naturally gifted with and embody.
The truth about high functioning anxiety - and how it causes burnout in high achieving woman
High functioning anxiety is a sneaky type of anxiety. It often goes unrecognised, because of its high functioning nature.

You overachieve at work, and are often admired for your hard-work, commitment, and attention to detail.
You have a successful career and seem to have an incredible ability to juggle a high level role with the demands of everyday life.
You seem to 'have it all'.
But it comes at a cost.
The missing piece for women to feel more rested, radiant, and to embrace their fullest potential
Living ‘in our head’ and feeling disconnected from ourselves
We live in a society that leads us - particularly as women - to be orienting upwards and outwardly.
We spend a lot of time ‘in our heads’ caught up in thinking, planning, strategising, organising, analysing,....
These are really valuable skills, but we have practised them to such an extent that we tend to experience life through our thinking. We think about life, which takes us away from fully living it.
