When Calm Becomes an Act of Rebellion
These past six weeks have been… something else.
I’ve found myself laughing — and occasionally crying — at the sheer absurdity of chaos, challenges, and passive aggression flying my way.
From online trolls throwing projections my way and, when I stood firm against his bullying and intimidation, he called me racist — WTF. Talk about shadow work and projection!…
…to navigating hidden agendas in my “muggle” work life — it’s been a wild test of boundaries, integrity, and resilience.
I kept hearing that Green Day lyric looping in my head:
“If I tolerate this, then our children will be next.”
Standing calm in the middle of Chaos.
What did I do?
At first, I shrank away. Then my inner Kali rose — fierce, protective, ready to breathe fire. But then I did something my younger self wasn’t yet capable of:
I paused.
I breathed.
I placed my hand on my heart.
From there, I reclaimed my power.
✨ Pause for Power. ✨
And from that calm, curious, and grounded place, I responded — guided by a mantra I shared last month, which I tweaked.
“I Vow To Be The Observer, Observing, Being Observed. I Come Home to Calm, Even In This Chaos.”

In all of this chaos, I’ve had to reset — again and again.
This month, I’ve felt both deeply alone in places I thought were safe, and profoundly held in unexpected ways. But I had two anchors that helped me come home.
The anchors: That simple message above… and some timely support.
My beautiful soul sisters circle rallied around me when the energy felt too heavy to clear alone.
The Grrrr Band — a group of sacred rebels devoted to compassion, growth, and aligning our human messiness with our soul’s wisdom… and having a laugh while we do it. (Because honestly, if there’s no joy or laughter, we’re missing the point.)
The invitation:
👉🏽 To look another way.
To notice what’s quietly supporting you, and when you need to ask for support, even amidst chaos.
Because it’s not always the big explosions that break us — it’s the small, invisible straws we don’t notice piling up.
And yet… we can always come home.
🌿 Free Online Session: Come Home to Calm
I’ve missed being of service and I used these tools to help me centre and find calm within.
So, as I prepare to open my yoga classes next year, I’m offering this free 60-minute online session — a soft landing for your nervous system.
This isn’t a workshop or a lecture.
No heavy teaching, no science talk (I promise I’ll resist!).
Just an experience — a journey back to your calm centre through gentle yoga, breath, vagus-nerve activation, and visualisation.
It’s grounded in over seven years of exploration — neuroscience, somatics, yoga, and emotional resilience — but what you’ll feel is simply this:
✨ A return to yourself.
✨ A remembering of your power.
✨ A reset of your state.
(And yes, I’ll even resist the temptation to bring out my shamanic drum… this time 😉).

🌿 Find the calm that allows what’s next to unfold with grace.
💌 My invitation for reflection & discernment:
As I always say: As within, so without.
But discernment is key. Not every battle is ours.
Sometimes the real power lies in witnessing — being the calm, compassionate observer rather than the warrior.
Because, as Gandhi reminded us,
“An eye for an eye only makes the whole world blind.”
Reflections:
So, how is chaos showing up for you lately?
Where might you be called to soften, pause, and return home to yourself before you act?
How will you release heavy energy, because carrying it will make you ill?
I’d love for you to join me — and let me hold space for your reset, just as others have done for me.
Remember:
Calm isn’t giving up. It’s taking your power back.
With flow, grace, and compassionate curiosity,
