Conversations With Myself
Some of the best conversations I have are with myself. When I actually listen.
What does your inner world sound like when things go quiet? Honestly, I seem to suck at it sometimes.
I'm writing this from Mexico, on vacation with my family. Paradise setting for most parts. I know how lucky I am to have this opportunities and to have my kids see things like this early in their lives. I don't take that for granted.
I've been here a week and a half. I felt good… like really good for maybe three days of it.
It was my inner critic again. I wanted to work more and I couldn't. I wanted to rest and it didn't work out. I wanted to exercise and I did, but I wanted more. I wanted to be a present mum, partner and friend. I wanted to enjoy. Instead I felt shit, which made it even harder to be any of those things.
I know how this sounds. Luxury problems, made up in my own head. I knew that while I was living it too and it didn't help. The controller in me was fighting. The child in me was sad. Not good enough, even here. Especially here.
I feel better now. Trying to make the most of the days I have left. Is that a strange thing to admit out loud? Probably. But I have a feeling you can relate.
I don't think this goes away. I think I'll likely always be learning to balance my own emotions, to have these conversations with myself, to remind myself what's actually true and what's just noise. That's a big part of why MoMo exists in the first place.
What actually helped me this time was exercise, breathwork and letting go, as much as I could manage.
Breathwork specifically has become one of the more powerful tools I've found for this. It's not about thinking your way out of a reactive moment. It's about using your breath to actually get there, into whatever's underneath the noise, the part of you that's steadier, the inner wisdom and knowing.
We have an online session coming up on August 2nd, led by someone very special to me: Shani Persson.
Shani describes her work as helping people come home to themselves, their essence, their craft, what's rooted deep in them, so they can create and move through life from that place rather than from exhaustion or disconnection. She's spent years working across very different worlds, from cruise ships to boardrooms to spaces of healing, and what she keeps coming back to is how much of our humanity gets lost along the way and how much power is still there underneath, waiting.
Our philosophies overlap in a lot of ways. That's exactly why I wanted to do this with her.
Join us on August 2nd. Give yourself that hour.
MoMo is where I go to hear mine. This is an invitation to go find yours too.
Sign up for the breathwork session here.
I hope to see you there, to breathe and reflect individually but together. 🧡💛🩷
P.S.: I realised while seeing this incredible sunset yesterday that MoMo’s Logo - The Flower of Life is called has exact the same colors. I don’t think it is a coincidence. 😊😉
