We build community as a collective by combined effort, not alone.
This newsletter is a place for us to come together as one. A generation of healers and cycle-breakers who are committed to cleaning their heart, mind, and soul from all the garbage we’ve been fed to stop us from being our most authentic self.

Redefining ‘Home’
Recently I’ve been asking myself what ‘home’ is.
A cycle in life has come to an end for me as I leave my hometown where I lived with my parents and grew up, and move into a new apartment with my younger brother.
I have been carrying many burdens of responsibility for years. The diplomat, the shoulder to cry on, the problem solver, the parent.I used to find pride in being the hero but this year I’ve realised just how much it has exhausted me.
As autumn equinox in the UK is upon us, it is no surprise that I am in a period of letting go of energy that no longer serves me.
I feel the purification process continuing to take place within my soul (I wrote about purifying the soul earlier in the year you can read that here).
Whatever has expired in my life is naturally falling away.
I’m realising that I have never really felt at home anywhere.
This chapter in life is all about discovering what home means to me.
Whilst the physicality of your home may change as you move through life at its core it is a feeling more than it is a place.
A feeling of safety.
Being able to fully exhale and not feel hypervigilant all the time. Feeling nurtured and at ease. Feeling seen, heard, understood. Not feeling lonely (even though you may be alone).
Below are 5 areas where you can find a sense of ‘home’ in life:
1. Within Yourself
Do you feel like yourself?
Finding a home within yourself means being comfortable in your skin as a human. Fully embracing your personality and identity and expressing yourself authentically.
Home is also found in your own body. Nurture it and take care of it because it is where your soul lives. It is really the only physical home you have. Not feeling comfortable with who you are can lead to feeling trapped in your own body.
I felt that for years until I started taking care of my health and paying closer attention to my body. I let go of the expectations I carried about what I should look like all the time. I started prioritising peace and started sharing my own voice more unapologetically with people in my life.
Life becomes so much easier when you are honest about your truth.
No matter where you go, there you are, so always come back home to yourself.
