Blog postIt wasn’t long ago that I had no idea what it meant to live in flow with the moon.
I didn’t know that my menstrual cycle was linked to hers. And it’s only recently that I stopped calling it my period, and started calling it my moon.
So many women are confused when I say that. Because they don’t know. The same way I didn’t know.
But now I do. And this has completely transformed the way I live and lead.
What my life used to look like My day planner used to run my -
Blog postIf you found your way here, chances are you feel a deep desire within to unleash your creativity.
Usually there’s a few common scenarios playing out for women:
You don’t believe you’re creative You don’t prioritise time and space to be creative And/or, you’re not sure how to begin tapping into your creativity Let’s clear the first point up right now. We are all creative. But many of us believe that if we can’t draw or paint to an artist’s standard, then we’re not creative. -
Blog postI was always the girl who struggled to find her voice.
I would never raise my hand in class at school, despite often knowing the answer.
When I started getting bullied, I didn’t stand up for myself.
One time a teacher groped me, and I stayed silent.
I’ve often been hurt in friendships, but not voiced it and just cut them out of my life instead.
A little boy shouted the word paki at me while I walked passed him playing in a park. -

Blog postIt’s difficult to love yourself in a world that constantly teaches you not to.
A stream of adverts and images greet us every day, featuring sexy and seemingly happy women selling us their bottled joy.
The message is, we love ourselves, so why don’t you? Buy this (insert product/service here), and everything will be better.
And we believe them. Because we want to feel good about ourselves.
Who doesn’t want that?
But more often that not, we buy the make-u -
Blog postI want to be beautiful.
That’s just one of the thoughts that plague young girls and women. When we learn that who we are is not enough. And never will be.
When I was about 13, I became obsessed with fashion.
I would read Vogue and Elle magazine religiously each month. America’s Next Top Model quickly became my new favourite TV show. And clothes were a way for me to express who I was, and get people to think I was “cool,” without me having to say a word.
And I w -
Blog postshe learned not to speak up, or shout out
so they drowned her voice out with their roar
but she has been doing some learning of her own since then
about women who fell from the sky, now wear their scars like wings
women who dare to stand in the flames, becoming one with their rage
women who spit fire at dawn, and howl at dusk
and women who dare to be seen, and be heard
women who have proudly reclaimed their wild.
these are the wo -

Blog postThree years ago, I was travelling for two months around Sri Lanka with my partner Sam.
We had treated ourselves to a three-night stay in a nice hotel on the beach in Kalutara, on the West coast of the island.
This trip made me realise how difficult travelling can be. Being in close proximity with the same person – or people – can really test your relationship.
Sam and I weren’t even living together at the time, and had been dating for less than a year. So we learned a -
Blog postLearning How To Love Your Body Through Pregnancy.
A photograph of me from a couple of years ago popped up on Facebook memories today, and I looked at it and thought, what a gorgeous human being.
And it was not about ego or arrogance. The thought came from a place of pure unadulterated love, as if I was seeing myself as my own child.
At the time, when the photograph was taken and posted, I remember scrutinizing it.
My arms looked too fat. My hair was scraped up -
Blog postTrusting my intuition hasn’t always come naturally to me.
The truth is, I ignored my intuition for over a decade, hoping she would disappear.
I stayed in a job I hated for much longer than I wanted to; while I built up my courage, a fuck off fund, and figured out an escape plan.
By this time, I was already writing most days – in the mornings, evenings, and weekends – submitting articles to various online publications, and working on my first book.
I always enjo -
Blog postWhat is a Priestess?
I still remember reading a magazine when I was about 15, and figuring out my numerology from my date of birth.
My number was eleven, which can also be added together to give two. It was only much later I discovered that in tarot, the number eleven (or two) is the High Priestess card.
I’ve always felt like I have a calling here on earth to serve and empower other women. I’ve always been highly sensitive and intuitive, and have recently enjoyed embar
