  • Do you ever feel like you’re too much and not enough all at the same time? Well, here’s a little reminder not to talk yourself, or let others talk you, out of rooms you deserve to be in. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ It’s like, ‘you’re too strong, too loud, too ambitious, too independent, too sensitive’… But at the same time you don’t measure up. You’re not ‘experienced enough, smart enough, beautiful enough, good enough, worthy enough’…⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Then there’s the stereotypes, like you can’t be THIS if you’re THAT. Sometime’s it’s a minefield being human right!? ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Particularly speaking as a woman, the pressure to be everything to everyone, while staying small enough to not overstep your mark, or box, is flipping tiring! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I shot this set at home today and as I set up my post, a little line I’d been told before popped into my mind: “You’re too ‘sexy’ and fashion to be taken seriously in the adventure space.” Look, I get it, ‘branding’ - but really, who decided that if you’re adventurous you can’t like fashion or be sassy? Just like “You look too masculine to be sensitive”, “You’re too business focused to be a loving mum” and whatever other ‘too much to be’s’ or ‘not enough to be’s’ you may have heard or felt.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ These voices come from somewhere else. What you’ve been told in the past, from a person or the media, about ‘who you are’ or ‘meant to be’ does not define you. Nor does it dictate where you are going or how you show up as your authentic self.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Imposters syndrome, people pleasing & fear of judgement is SO real. Trust me, I know. But please don’t let that stop you from entering rooms you deserve to be in, shrink yourself to make others more comfortable or nullify yourself to fit into pre-made boxes.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ We all have doubts & voices that hold us back or make us feel uncomfortable about showing up. If you’re feeling that, I advise you to get quiet and listen to your inner voice. Not your inner critic (that one can go sit on a cactus🌵), and ask yourself what you know to be true about you. How your uniqueness can positively impact others? And how you can show up as you for yourself & others?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the world needs what you got! ⚡️

  • Patiently waiting for brunch dates with friends to be allowed again… In the mean time, I’ve set myself some feel-good goals for May and thought I’d invite you to join me for 28 days of fresh promises for yourselves, too. ⚡️⁣ ⁣ To get what you want, it helps to write down what that is and then think about the steps or habits you should create to get there. This month I want to regain balance.⁣ ⁣ Last month, for me, was actually incredibly busy despite the circumstance. I pivoted in my business to compensate for the campaign bookings I lost, so I’ve spent much of lock down behind my Macbook screen, while simultaneously battling my lockdown-output funk. So this month I’m setting myself some non-negotiable self-care goals, that I’ll commit to for the next 28 days to regain balance and prevent exhaustion. An important foundation and something that will be helpful for anyone right now, particularly to practice maintaining as we begin to shift it normality again too.⁣ ⁣ 28 days of repetition is enough to create long-standing habits, so who would like to join me?? 🤘🏼 And what are your goals going to be? ⚡️ Think about what you want to achieve, or feel, this month. Set yourself 3-5 little goals that you will commit to daily and let me know below. It can be anyyyyything; wellness, business, creativity, education, relationships, self care whatever you want. We can be accountability buddies. 😉⁣ ⁣ These are my daily May goals:⁣ ⁣ 1. 30 mins of exercise every day⁣ 2. 10 mins Morning journaling ⁣ 3. 30 mins of doing something I love / self love⁣ 4. 10 mins mediating⁣ 5. And finally, something my girl @carolinaloveslife_ challenged me to do this week, but I’ve decided I’ll do for 28 days: A 10 minute ‘feeling’ check-in each day. ⁣ ⁣ That looks like 1 and a half hours of non-negotiable self care every day for me. Yum 🙊 What does it look like for you? (You’re welcome to steal my list, too)⁣ ⁣ Excited to hear how you’re going to show up for yourselves this month! Get it team! 🙌🏼⁣ ⁣ Shot by @eyesofanomad - Edit by me. Creating a relevant caption for this image was impossible 😂

  • Always in search of adventure. 🌕 Crisp, sub-zero mornings on the road in Iceland with a solid crew. Grateful for adventurous friends who’ll wake up at 4am in pursuit of magic, no matter what the conditions. This was our first morning of the snow we were hoping for in Iceland earlier this year. We. Were. Stoked! ⁣ ⁣ We had to stop the car in this moment to run around in the fresh pow and hype the moon rising from behind the mountains on our way to Vatnajokull! ⁣ ⁣ The journey and the little inbetween moments like this hold the memories and stories, just as much as the summits. I try to forget the memory of the weird emergency shrimp sandwiches we bought for brunch just after this though. 😪 Do your food runs the night before sunrise adventures kids! 😅 ⁣ ⁣ Shots // @tomkahler ⚡️

  • I don’t know about you, but when I sit in the garden, or in a sun trap coming through the window of the house or go for my one hour of legal exercise, the feeling is literally soul filling! The levels of appreciation and awareness of how I took those things for granted are through the roof right now.⁣ ⁣ It just goes to show how important the outdoors is to us as humans. Right now we NEED to stay home and do our part, but I’m so excited for when we can explore and connect again. The feeling is going to be next level!! Even before I get excited about the thought of adventures, I honestly just can’t wait to just sit in a pub garden with friends and drink cold cider in the sun, while tearing each other apart for bants 🍻😂 The ‘little things’ are going to feel so huge. Do you feel this too? What is a feeling you’re looking forward to when we can? ⁣Or a ‘little thing’ you’re loving right now? ⁣ TB to Blue hour over Zion here, with the most amazing sunset and views. ⁣ Shot by @wildbonde, edit by me // #Zion #ThrowBack #StayHome

  • Earth, I love you. 🌍 Not a day goes by that I don’t count my blessings for our monumental existence on this incredible planet. The chances of our being is near impossible! And we must protect that.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been lucky enough to see some of the most beautiful places on this planet, with colossal landscapes that have reminded me of how tiny I am in this magical world. We’re tiny, but we’re many, and as humanity our collective actions have massive impact. So we need to be conscious of what those actions are, because they are responsible for our planets survival.⁣ ⁣ The more of this beautiful planet I’ve seen, the more I discover how we are damaging it, too. I’ve scuba dived the Great Barrier Reef... it’s bleached white and dying... I’ve surfed alongside countless pieces of plastic floating in the oceans of Indonesia... Deforestation in the United States... Ominous pollution suffocating Hong Kong... And glaciers retreating in Iceland... we CAN pause this. We’ve seen how in light of the current situation locking humanity down, the Earth has been able to breath again. ⁣ ⁣ I’m not perfect! Over the past few years, I’ve flown more than most. I can’t deny the impact that has on global warming, but I do what I can to offset my emissions and try to improve and build on my disciplined habits every day. I’m grateful that I’ve been educated on how to care for our planet and that’s what we need to do - to keep teaching and encouraging one another to maintain habits to protect the Earth: for other species and our future. We’re in this together 🌍🖤⁣ ⁣ What are some of your little Planet Protecting habits? Perhaps we can learn something new from one another. ⁣ ⁣ It’s #EarthDay, every day. 🙏🏼

  • Getting creative at home, while getting creative at home - ya feel me!? 😅⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’ve absolutely LOVED rediscovering my enjoyment for painting while being grounded. Drawing and painting was such a huge part of my creativity when I was little.

I suppose I’m doing the same thing now, but on a bigger scale 😂⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Mamma Bowls and my Grandad were the ones who encouraged my creativity. Mum’s kickass at baking & decorating cakes and making clothes (something I never had the patience to learn). ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I would sit next to my Grandad in his seat on the sofa (always the same seat - anyone else’s gramps do that?) with his big wooden board and water colours and we’d paint or play chess, while he shouted at the TV. He would show me all of his water colour paintings of geishas and ducks and I’d show him my Paint by Numbers and pretend like I did it all myself 😂 I miss him a lot, but inheriting all of his paints and easels has made rediscovering this creative outlet and new found way of chilling extra special. ☺️⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ I’d love to hear how you’ve been getting creative or finding ways to escape at home below. 🥰 #ArtIsTherapy
