Eclipse season

Ready or not, eclipse season is here—and it’s about to shake things up in ways you never saw coming.

It’s the expect the unexpected during this time.

Eclipse season is a powerful cosmic reset—a time of rapid shifts, revelations and course corrections.

The eclipse season shakes up stagnant energy and propelling you forward. Think of it as the universe hitting fast-forward on your growth, closing doors that no longer serve you and opening new ones you might not have expected.

It’s intense, but it’s also an opportunity to realign with your path, trust the process, and embrace transformation.

📖 The Great Unlearning

She started loving herself more…

There was a version of you who believed love had to be earned.

Who bent and shrank, softened your edges, swallowed truths – just to be chosen.

There was a version of you who mistook longing for love, who stayed too long in places that only ever gave you half-formed promises and empty hands.

She thoughts almost was better than nothing. She thought waiting made her worthy. And then there was the version of you who left.

The one who finally saw herself through her own eyes instead of his. The one who realised that love shouldn’t feel like chasing, like convincing, like slowly disappearing. She didn’t leave because she stopped loving him – she left because she started loving herself more.

That old version of you? Who held onto almosts and maybes, mistaking inconsistency for passion. She reread old messages like they were scripture, searching for hidden meaning in words that were never enough.

She learned to live on breadcrumbs, convincing herself they were a feast. And when it ended—when he left, or you finally walked away—she mourned not just him, but the girl who believed she had to be less to be loved more.

Then there was the version of you who rebuilt. Who sat in the quiet, sifting through the wreckage. She pieced herself back together, not into who she used to be, but into someone softer, wiser, stronger. She stopped mistaking longing for connection, stopped calling uncertainty excitement, stopped romanticizing love that made her question her own worth.

Venus retrograde isn’t here to drag you back into the past—it’s here to show you how far you’ve come.

To remind you of every version of yourself that loved, lost, and learned. It’s not just about old lovers knocking on doors better left closed; it’s about facing the echoes of the woman you once were and deciding, with every fiber of your being, that you will never abandon yourself again. This is a return—not to them, but to you ❤️‍🔥

Knowing when to leave

Knowing when to leave is so important.

The party.

The job.

The relationship.

Knowing when to leave is a powerful act of self care that every woman should embrace.

It’s about recognising that your happiness, peace of mind, and personal growth should always come first.

Putting yourself first has flow on effects for everyone intertwined within your life.

Whether it’s a job, a relationship or a social setting, being able to walk away when the situation no longer aligns with your values or aspirations is a sign of strength, not weakness.

It takes courage to step away from what’s familiar — yet it opens the door to new opportunities that allow you to thrive.

In the workplace, it can be especially difficult to leave a job, especially when there’s pressure to stay for financial security or fear of disappointing others. But staying in a toxic work environment can stifle creativity, lead to burnout and hinder your personal growth, how you feel in your own soul.

Similarly, in relationships—whether personal or professional—knowing when to walk away is essential. If a relationship is draining your emotional or mental energy, it may be time to reconsider its place in your life.

Holding on to unhealthy connections, out of fear or obligation, can prevent you from reaching your full potential. Leaving may feel daunting, but it allows you to create space for healthier, more supportive relationships that align with your growth and well being.

This week particularly energetically is all about it and next month in March brings endings, new beginnings and rebirth 👀 episode drops this weekend = more information on my podcast grow through it with phi dang 🌱

What if discipline was an act of devotion?

Discipline has often been framed as something harsh, something that requires relentless willpower, restriction and forcing yourself to do things even when you don’t want to 😩This mindset creates burnout, resentment and a disconnection from your deeper why… your purpose.

The Unlearning: True consistency comes from love, not rigid self-punishment. When you shift from force to devotion, everything changes.

Devotion is fuelled by purpose, by the deep knowing that you want to show up—not because you have to, but because you get to. The most sustainable discipline is the kind that honours your rhythms and is rooted in care rather than control.

This year, in 2025, I’ve really honed in on what it means to approach discipline from a place of love—especially when it comes to my spiritual practices and physical health.

In the past, discipline felt like force, like something I had to do to be good enough, productive enough, or worthy enough.

But I’ve learned that true discipline isn’t about punishment; it’s about devotion.

Making time to exercise, to move my body, to show up for my practices—it’s not about fixing myself, but about caring for myself.

When discipline is rooted in love, it stops feeling like a chore and starts feeling like a sacred commitment to your own well being. And that shift changes everything.

Asking for flowers… and getting rain

I asked the universe for flowers and I got rain.

When you start to understand this, life starts to make more sense.

You ask for flowers but instead it feels like your life starts to fall apart when it starts raining.

It falls gently at first, then with a roar.

Life feels terrible; everything has gone wrong. What have you done to deserve this? You’re a good person right? You try your best most days.

With time you begin to notice how the world shifts.

The soil, once dry and cracked, now breathes with life.

The rain wasn’t a burden, it was the blessing.

The nourishment you needed to grow into something even more beautiful than you could have asked for.

You stand in the rain, soaked, but with your heart opening like a bloom in the morning sun.

You realise that the flowers you asked for were always inside of you, waiting for the right moment to bloom.

The rain was the catalyst, the force that broke through the barriers, that washed away the doubts and fears.

You are not just a woman waiting for a gift, you are the woman who has endured the storm and now stands stronger, rooted deeper within yourself.

Your beauty was not in the petals you imagined, but in the strength and grace of the roots that anchored you through it all.

The rain teaches you that sometimes, what we ask for is only the beginning.

You wanted flowers but what you needed was the rain to help you grow into a garden.

And so, as you stand beneath the sky, soaked but alive, you understand that your journey was always about more than you could have ever envisioned.

It was about the resilience to embrace what came, and the courage to trust that you were becoming something magnificent, something that could not have bloomed without the rain.

Now, as the storm clears and the sun begins to break through, you see the flowers—your flowers—emerging, stronger and more vibrant than you ever imagined 💐

You’re wasting energy worrying about this…

What if I told you that other people’s opinions are none of your business? Think about it—how much of your life have you spent filtering your words, shrinking your dreams or hesitating to take up space just to avoid judgment? And for what…? 🤔

It’s completely understandable why you’re worried about what other people think. You care deeply and that is a reflection of your heart 🧡 Wanting to be seen in a positive light is human, and it’s okay to feel this way. Just remember, your worth isn’t measured by outside opinions — you are already enough, just as you are.

No matter what you do, someone will always have an opinion. But their opinions don’t pay your bills, build your dreams or live with the consequences of your choices — you do.

The truth is when you start living for yourself instead of for approval, you become unstoppable. You stop performing and start existing fully, unapologetically.

You realise that the people who truly matter will celebrate your authenticity, not your ability to conform.

And the ones who judge?

They were never your people to begin with. Imagine the freedom of not needing to explain yourself, justify your desires or seek permission to take up space. That’s the power of owning who you are.

So sure I have my moments as any human does but the answer is no. I’m not worried about what people think — I’m focused on what I think.

And I want the same for you. Because the moment you stop seeking external validation, you start leading your own life.

When you do that, you inspire other people around you to do the same 👊🏽

You are not here to prove your worth

You are not here to prove your worth, you are here to live in it.

You were never meant to spend your life proving your worth to anyone or the world.

You are not a resume, a checklist, a social media profile or a set of accomplishments that determine whether you are “enough.”

You were born worthy — before the expectations, before the pressure, before the need to be everything to everyone.

Your existence is proof in itself.

The moment you stop seeking validation and start standing in own truth, you reclaim the energy that was never meant to be spent on proving, but on being.

To live in your worth is to move through life with the quiet confidence of knowing you belong, without question or condition.

It’s choosing yourself in the small moments — speaking up when your voice shakes, saying no without guilt, resting without needing to earn it.

It’s walking into a room and not shrinking, not waiting for permission to take up space, not apologising for the light you are and bring.

The most powerful shift happens when you stop asking, “Am I enough?” and start declaring, “I am.”

Because you are.

It’s FebYOUary

A reminder: It’s FebYOUary.

February isn’t just about roses and romance —it’s FebYOUary, a season to turn the love you so freely to others…to give it back to yourself and consider your own inner world.

Instead of waiting for someone else to shower you with care, what if you became your own greatest love story? Whether you are single or not, or maybe somewhere in between 😋

This month, let your wellbeing take center stage. Rest without guilt, say no without explanation and give yourself permission to pause.

You are not required to always be available, always be giving, always be “on.” Your energy is sacred —protect it.

Prioritising yourself isn’t selfish; it’s a radical act of self honouring.

🌹 What lights you up?

🌹 What makes you feel alive? Do more of that. Whether it’s reading in solitude, dancing in your kitchen, booking that solo trip or simply reclaiming slow mornings with a warm cup of tea—choose what nourishes you.

Your joy, your peace, your fulfillment are just as important as anyone else’s. Love yourself with the same devotion you pour into others and watch how your world shifts.

Love starts with you—not just on Valentine’s Day, but every single day.

I have an announcement to make on love…

I’m falling in love with my own potential, realising that I am capable of more than I ever imagined.

I’m falling in love with my growth, the way I unlearn, stumble and rise up again, stronger each time.

I’m falling in love with my own voice – the one that knows what I need, even when the world gets loud.

I’m falling in love with being okay saying no, to carving out space for the things that fuel me, not drain me.

I’m falling in love with the idea that it’s okay to change my mind, to pivot, to grow at my own pace.

I’m falling in love with my capacity to love and forgive myself, even when I feel like I’ve let myself down.

I’m falling in love with being unapologetically myself, showing up even when it’s messy and imperfect.

I’m falling in love with myself as I honour my body’s need for slowing down, trusting that rest is not a pause in my growth but a part of it.

I’m falling in love with the fact that it’s okay to be scared. It doesn’t mean I’m not capable – it means I’m human.

I’m falling in love with myself, despite the voice that tells me I’m too much, too loud, or too emotional. The truth is, I am exactly what I need to be.

I’m falling in love with myself, even when I fear that others may judge me. I am not here to fit into someone else’s box, and that’s my freedom.

I’m falling in love with myself as I honour the parts of me that once felt unworthy of love. I am loveable and whole as I am.

I’m falling in love with myself as I embrace my evolution, knowing I don’t have to be who I was yesterday.

I’m falling in love with my vulnerability, even when I’m afraid it makes me seem weak. It’s actually what makes me strong.

I’m falling in love with myself as I choose self respect over people pleasing.

I’m falling in love with myself as I recognise that softness is not weakness but my greatest strength.

I’m falling in love with myself as I let go of timelines and trust that what’s meant for me is already unfolding.

I’m falling in love with myself as I realise that love was never missing – I just had to turn inward to see it.

I know it might seem soon as I just got out of a relationship towards the end of last year (I am known for how quick things move and happen in my world). The truth is I am falling in love again already…

With myself 😜

Falling in love with yourself starts with recognising it isn’t tied to your relationship status.

Whether you’re healing from a breakup, embracing your single life or in a loving relationship, your love for yourself is the foundation for everything.

You are not incomplete because you’re not with someone; you are whole and worthy just as you are.

If you’ve recently walked away from a relationship, this is your opportunity to rediscover who you are without anyone else’s definition of you.

If you’re single, embrace the space to nurture your own heart, cultivate your passions and reconnect with the dreams you’ve set aside.

And if you’re in love with someone, remember that your love for them can only thrive when you deeply, unapologetically love yourself first.

The most powerful love is the one you give yourself. Love yourself and watch everything fall into place.

Happy Valentines Day my love 🧡

Celebrating you in all your beauty, intelligence and light 🌹

I met my younger self…

I met my younger self for matcha at 8am.
I drove in and got there early.
She was a little late catching the train and walking.

She was in a rush, she had work to rush to.
I was in no hurry, I’m in control of my hours in my own business.

She felt bad for stressing. Bad for being late.
I told her that it’s okay, there’s nothing to feel bad for, especially being human.

She said life had been tough after rough patches with work and the loss of our dad.
I told her that it gets better, that it’s all adding to something bigger…
That one day she would turn her pain into power.
The greatest power of all: helping other people.

She was riddled with fear, insecurity and doubt.
I told her that it’s normal and okay to feel that way. The she figures it all out.
Every twist, every turn, every curveball.
That she becomes more wiser and stronger with it all.

I hug her and thank her.
For who she is now. For who she will become.
I let her know I’m so proud of her and to keep going.
She’s breaking ancestral trauma and patterns.
She’s healing for herself and the world.
She is enough. Not too much, not too loud, too quiet, too this, too that.
She is exactly who she needs to be right now and where she ought to be.
To be gentle with herself and never stop believing in her dreams or herself.

If you could speak to a younger version of yourself, what would you say to her? What would you use the opportunity for? What did you wish you had known back then? What would have made a difference in those pivotal moments?

This was prompted by a beautiful poem by @jennaececelia that has been going around and sadly uncredited — she’s inspired so many including myself.

By speaking to your younger self, you can reconnect with your sense of purpose, your passion and the strength you may have forgotten along the way.

There’s so much power in looking back (for a moment) with compassion, recognising the lessons learned and understanding that even the tough moments shaped who you are today.

What advice would you give? Would you tell yourself to trust the journey, embrace vulnerability or take risks without fearing failure? That advice can be a source of clarity and motivation for the path you’re walking now.

By acknowledging your past, you can create a deeper sense of gratitude for how far you’ve come. You might find new courage to face what’s next, to step into unknown spaces, and to trust in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

Reflection is so powerful, ask one of my clients @tina.chouchou I harp onto her about it all the time 😆

So, take a moment to write to your younger self. In doing so, you’ll realise how much wisdom you hold that can guide you as you continue on this journey of life.

love & positivity ✨ phi

If you’re ready to unlock your fullest potential, reconnect with your true self, and step into your power, let’s work together—your transformation begins now.
