02 April 2026 - Issue #028 Hey Reader, Guess what? After living in Bali for six months I finally left Ubud for a weekend, which I think says a lot about how much I love this place 🥰 Last weekend I finally got out of my comfort bubble and drove to Sidemen for what turned into something a bit special. The timing couldn't have been more perfect considering what I've been thinking about lately. I'm truly struggling with the version of wellness that asks for more of me. More discipline, more...

26 March 2026 - Issue #027 Hey Reader, And so it happened, I experienced my first Nyepi here in Bali and I loved every minute of it. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I wrote a blog about this very unique Balinese celebration where, for twenty-four hours, everything stops. No travel, no work, no lights, no noise. Just stillness. I wrote this the day before Nyepi, when I was still in that phase of excitement and disbelief that something like this still exists in 2026. Now, almost a...

Hi Reader, I celebrated my 42nd birthday last year and despite not feeling a day over 27 (and still dressing like one 😅), I can't deny that birthday hit me harder than expected. That's because around that time, I started noticing some light perimenopause symptoms. Of course I didn't have a name for what was happening at the time, and it's only after I had a couple of chats with women my age who were navigating the same shifts that I could finally label some of the changes I'd been noticing in...

12 March 2026 - Issue #026 Hey Reader, It’s been a big week on my side as I’ve officially launched A Pause in the Season, a retreat I’m co-creating in Ubud. It still feels slightly surreal. Exciting, yes. Also a little terrifying. I realised very quickly that this retreat carries a piece of me in a way few projects ever have. When something feels that personal, sharing it with the world inevitably comes with a level of vulnerability that’s hard to explain until you experience it. That feeling...

Hi Reader, Ubud has been my home for the past six months - and it's also where my yoga journey began back in 2013. It's a place I find genuinely difficult to describe to people who haven't been, because the atmosphere does something to you that has nothing to do with the activities or the scenery. For a very long time, I have wanted to create something here worthy of what this place makes possible so today is a very exciting day for me 🥰 Consider this your invitation to come back to yourself...

05 March 2026 - Issue #025 Hey Reader, I have been deep in retreat planning this week, as usual 😄 I am almost ready to launch something that makes my heart full and excites me to the brim, and I cannot wait to share it with you. If you have ever launched a retreat, an event, a new product, a class, anything at all, you will know exactly how intense those weeks before launch can feel. The anticipation, the last-minute details, the mix of excitement and that very specific kind of nervous energy...

26 February 2026 - Issue #024 Hey Reader, I'll say this with very little hesitation: this week I wrote my favourite article so far. The one I wish I had read many years ago, long before I ever thought about becoming a retreat strategist. The one I will return to when I feel myself second-guessing something that matters. The one I will probably send to friends too, because it reaches far beyond retreats. I wrote it the same week I confirmed the venue for a retreat I'm co-creating in Bali later...

19 February 2026 - Issue #023 Hey Reader, Are you one of those people who takes pride in doing everything yourself? Last Friday I joined a networking event organised by Girls Be Change, a social business that supports girls and women to become explorers and changemakers. It was my first time attending one of their gatherings and I left feeling deeply moved. As a solo business owner, I rarely spend an entire day surrounded by women building purpose-led businesses and working inside...

12 February 2026 - Issue #022 Hey Reader, If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know I’m a bit of an oversharer. In life. In business. On Instagram. In these emails. Last week I shared a very personal Reel to honour my parents for embracing my “black sheep of the family” energy - even when it challenged their logic, their expectations, and probably their patience for years. I could have kept that Reel on my personal account. But the truth is: this business wouldn’t exist without that winding...
