I’m not blonde anymore?!

Missed the Solstice call? Here's the replay 📺

Hi friends,

Happy new moon! 🌚

Yessss that non-blonde person in the pic above is me.

Last year I had my “colours” done by a stylist in the U.K. and it turns out I’m a “soft autumn” (IYKYK). This coppery brown shade was her suggestion for me.

It took me nearly a year to make the change, but gosh it felt powerful to finally claim this colour for myself, and sitting in that salon chair was a surprisingly cathartic, emotional experience. After two years of Big Life Changes, this felt like a symbolic way to honour all of the growth and transformation. (Also… I think it brings out the hazel in my eyes!) So let’s see — maybe I’m not blonde anymore?!

Anyway. I’m not writing today to tell you about my hair (though don’t tempt me, because we could go there), but to share the replay with you from last week’s Solstice call.

Thank you to everyone who joined live — as always, it was a beautiful gathering and I personally took a great deal from this time of reflection, visioning and sharing together 🥰

If you couldn’t make it live (or want to revisit the magic), the recording is ready for you.

You’ll need:

• 90-minutes for yourself

• A journal and pen

• The workbook (printed or digital)

• Something delicious to drink and/or snack on

• Consider lighting a candle, pulling a card, or another gesture to ritualise the space for yourself

A few more fun things:

📺 Watching: I binged The Good Place in its entirety with total glee while recovering from surgery this month. It’s now in my top 5 favourite shows of all time. EXTRAORDINARY.

📚 Reading: I’m back on the non-fic with a re-read of Spirit Babies and also Wear It Well, which is a super cute book helping me sort out my wardrobe. (See: getting colours done and wanting to revamp everything!)

🎧 Listening: We just wrapped up season two of The Cycle Coach Show with an episode on how to work with archetypes in your coaching practice. Also, there’s a new Emerald podcast out and GOSH we need storytelling like this right now.

🍲 Cooking: I’m about to bleed, so I’ve been going for it on the food prep. My fridge is stocked with baked sweet potato, chopped herbs, shredded chicken, egg and salmon cups, quinoa, sliced red cabbage, pomegranate seeds, goats cheese, broth and chocolate… it’s giving serious luteal nesting. Want a post on my food prep process? This is something I’ve really had to work on, and as a recovering Lunch Skipper, I’m ace-ing it right now, so let me know.

Finally, just a little reminder that you’re STILL HERE! You’re still alive.

Don’t forget how magical that is, how precious these moments are.

Enjoy the replay from last week’s call — take that 90-minutes for yourself, yeah?

Big love!

Ps. Okay, fine, a few more hair pics! 😉
