A little update from me…

I’m currently supporting a loved one through an unexpected family situation that has extended longer than I anticipated. Because of this, the AWEN Room will remain closed this week, and there’s a chance I may not reopen until January.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and kindness. I’m OK, just needing to be present where I’m needed most right now. I’ll share more updates when I can.

Warmly,
Angela

This morning I’m feeling a little tender.
One of my favourite girls, Cinnamon, passed away in her sleep last night.

She was a Rhode Island Red… chosen years ago because my grandma used to tell me stories about the ones she raised when she was a girl. From the moment Cinnamon arrived as a tiny day-old chick under a heat lamp in our kitchen, she felt like part of the family. She was always the first one to step forward, curious, gentle, and just brave enough to let me scoop her up for a cuddle.

She laid her last egg about nine months ago after a long pause, and I still remember how surprised and delighted I was. She was a good little layer all her life… and such a soft, steady presence in the yard.

We’re down to just Olive and Roger now, the last of the old flock. I’m not sure if we’ll have more one day, but today I’m just honouring this lovely girl and giving her a peaceful resting place in the garden.

Feeling a bit melancholy after these past heavy weeks, and letting myself be slow today.
Goodbye, sweet Cinnamon. You really were a gentle little soul 😞🤍

Some weeks are heavier than they look from the outside. You move through the days, doing what needs to be done, but underneath there’s a quiet emotional load that only you can feel.

Christmas has definitely snuck up on me this year. My tree is up, but everything else feels a little undone. I’ve been tending to a personal matter that has taken most of my attention. Money is tight. I don’t have plans sorted. And instead of feeling festive, I’ve been drifting a little, trying to steady myself as I go.

But here’s the part that feels important.
I’m staying honest with myself about it.

And that honesty has shaped how I care for myself right now.

I’m keeping my routines simple and steady.
I’m walking most mornings because it clears my head.
I’m choosing small, grounding meals.
I’m keeping my circle close and quiet.
I’m giving myself space to feel uncertain without spiralling.
I’m letting each day be enough.

And somehow, that has made the season feel softer.
Not perfect.
Not magically fixed.
Just gentler.
More manageable.
More true.

Because when you stop pretending you’re fine and start telling yourself the truth, you stop abandoning yourself. You steady your own ground. You find a way to move through things with a little more strength and a lot more clarity.

✨

Reflection:

What truth about your energy, capacity or emotions have you been quietly avoiding… and how might things soften if you acknowledged it kindly today? 🤍

Gratitude and Conscious Indulgence, a soft moment to notice the gentle pleasures already around you. 🌿

My son moved out recently and we have been shifting rooms and rearranging spaces ever since. The house is still upside down… boxes here, furniture there, projects half done. And at the same time, I have been tending to a personal matter that has taken quite a bit of time and emotional energy. I am genuinely grateful that I planned ahead and carved out some breathing room for myself, because it has meant I can rest a little as I move through it each day.

So tonight I am choosing something simple and comforting.
A warm bath.
A simple meal.
A cup of herbal tea.
And an episode of the one reality show I still watch. It is something I used to watch with my father years ago, so even now it carries that soft, familiar comfort. Not deep, not demanding, just a little nostalgic pleasure that lets me exhale. ✨

This is indulgence too.
And it is where gratitude often lives.
In the tiny comforts we rarely name.
In the everyday rituals we forget are blessings.
In the ordinary moments that feel luxurious when we choose to savour them.

Indulgence does not have to be extravagant.
It can be simple.
It can be personal.
It can be nostalgic.
It can be whatever reminds you that your life already holds sweetness.

When you take these moments consciously, they become incredibly nourishing. They pull you out of autopilot and help you reconnect with the small, beautiful things that quietly support you through the week. 🌙

✨

Reflection:
What simple pleasure could you enjoy this week with more gratitude or awareness… something gentle, comforting or nostalgic that brings a little sweetness back into your day? 🌸💭

Here is Week 3 of The Quiet Truths of Love, a soft weekly check in for anyone who has ever felt the weight of a relationship resting a little too heavily on their shoulders. 🌿. And that can be any relationship, partner, friend, colleague, family.

One thing I have noticed in my own life, and in the women who come into my space, is that the heart whispers long before the mind catches up. There is always that quiet moment where something feels heavier than it should… where you realise you are doing the emotional lifting for two, or bending yourself around someone else’s comfort while ignoring your own. 💗

It does not always show up as sadness or conflict. Sometimes it is subtle… a tiredness you cannot explain, a sense of tiptoeing, a soft ache that says this feels uneven.

And as we move toward the holiday season, when gatherings, emotions and old patterns tend to surface more easily, it becomes even more important to trust those inner nudges. This time of year is meant to feel connecting and gentle. And you deserve to be in spaces that feel like a true exchange of care, kindness and effort. ✨

Something I have learned over the years is that the more I listen to my own knowing, the steadier I become. My heart softens. My body relaxes. Life feels more aligned. And the relationships around me grow clearer too… which ones nourish, which ones drain, which ones I am choosing, and which ones I am carrying.

You are allowed to step where the energy feels balanced.
You are allowed to protect the softness inside you.
You are allowed to trust the whispers your heart has been repeating for far too long. 🌙

✨

Reflection:
Think of a moment when your heart quietly signalled that something felt heavier than it should. What was your first clue… and how might you honour that inner wisdom with more gentleness next time? 🌿💭

This is my blue spirulina cheesecake that I made for Spring Equinox. It was so delicious and I honestly still think about eating it, probably every week since I last had it 💙

I love dreaming up menus like this… listening for what wants to be created, playing with colours and textures, feeling into how the food will sit in the body, and how it will look on the table. It’s such an intuitive and creative process for me.

I’m always drawn to the magical properties of food too… the quiet energy and intention ingredients carry, especially when they’re created for special moments of gathering and connection.

Right now I’m just daydreaming about long summer days and beautiful time spent with family and friends… no pressure, no plans locked in yet. Just a soft, sweet space of imagining what might unfold ☀️

Here is Week 2 of my Gratitude and Conscious Indulgence Series, and today I want to talk about something I don’t always link with gratitude.

Money.
And my relationship with it.

I’m not a natural numbers person. I have dyslexia, I struggle with maths and anything to do with budgets usually sends me into a panic. But recently I had to sit down and look at everything properly… and it ended up being one of the most empowering things I’ve done for myself.

For the first time in a long time, I felt grateful for what we have coming in, grateful for the work we do and grateful for the clarity that appears when you stop hiding from the numbers.
We’re not wealthy, but being able to see our money clearly helped me feel grounded and steady.

And here we are mid November with Black Friday everywhere and one more pay until Christmas. The temptation is huge. So this week I want to offer a softer approach.

Instead of starting with a gift list, start with a budget.
What can you genuinely afford?
What feels good for both your present self and your January self?

And why do we peel price tags off gifts?
What if you said to yourself:
“This is what I can afford. This is what I’m choosing. And I’m proud of myself for working for this.”

Gifts don’t need to be big or expensive.
Homemade jam, a meal, a card, a cake, help with a bill… these gifts have soul and don’t take four months to pay off.

Imagine ending the year with a gentle three month budget… and starting the new year feeling lighter and more financially free than usual.

✨

Reflection:
What would shift for you if your giving came from intention, not pressure?

And what would your January self thank you for? 🌿💭

🌞 Summer Solstice Save the Date 🌞
Saturday 20 December · 5pm

I hope to hold a very special gathering to honour the Summer Solstice… our final women’s circle of the year.

This one will round out a full turn of the wheel, and if all goes to plan, it will be a beautiful night of connection, candlelight and celebration.

I’ll be confirming the event soon, but for now, I’d love you to save the date. I know it’s close to Christmas, and a little later than usual to send this out, but if you’re feeling the call to gather, this is your gentle heads-up to pencil it in.

✨ What to expect:
– A bountiful seasonal feast
– A luminous solstice ritual
– A sweet take-home keepsake
– Warmth, community and summer magic

You can RSVP your interest via the link in bio — and I’ll let you know as soon as bookings open.

It's Tuesday and as promised here is the 2nd in my Quiet Truths of Love series. 💕

A small moment of reflection for anyone moving through the season with a full heart, a tired heart, or a quietly confused one.

This week is about your values.
Not the day-to-day preferences, but the deeper truths that sit at the centre of who you are.

Most of us can remember the first time we were asked to go against those truths.
Sometimes we don’t even understand the meaning of it until much later.
For me, it happened when I was thirteen, standing in a church being pushed through rituals I didn’t believe in, saying words that weren’t mine.
That moment taught me how it feels to be pulled away from myself.

When someone expects you to keep reshaping your inner truths for their comfort, it slowly creates confusion inside you.
It can pull you off your centre and teach you to question what you know is right for you.

Healthy relationships don’t ask for that.
They don’t require ongoing compromise around the things that matter to your heart.
True alignment is when both people feel they can live honestly, with their needs, beliefs and boundaries respected.

And as we move toward the holiday season, this becomes even more important.
This is the time of year when we’re in closer conversation with family, traditions and old dynamics.
It can stir differences in how we celebrate, how much alcohol feels comfortable, what we spend on gifts, which gatherings we attend and how much of ourselves we feel we have to hide to keep the peace.

Reflecting on your values now helps you walk into the season with clarity, steadiness and a stronger sense of self.
You deserve to honour what feels right for you, not lose yourself in the expectations of others.

Lots of love
Angie x✨

Reflection:
Where have you adjusted your deeper values for someone else, and what would it look like to honour them more gently and consistently as the holiday season approaches? 🌿💭

There’s always a little forest on my desk.
A scattering of feathers, shells, driftwood, old bottles, a couple of things that once belonged to my dad… and whatever tiny treasures I’ve picked up on walks through the mountains or by the sea.

I’ve always been a bit of a bower bird.
Something in me loves bringing the outside in… little reminders of where I’ve been, what caught my eye, the stories I’m carrying. Some pieces stay for years, others become altar offerings or small bits of everyday magic.

Sitting here under the window, it feels like the world keeps me company.
The soft light, the leaves, the memories, the colours… all of it helps me land in myself again.

A tiny still life of a life lived close to nature.
A reminder that magic doesn’t have to be grand.
Sometimes it’s just what’s resting quietly beside you.

Here is the first of the Self-Care Series, a softer space to land each Saturday as we move toward the end of the year.

This morning I noticed a little bath bomb from Lush sitting on my shelf 🛁. I bought it while running errands, thinking I’d use it later that night, then life swept me up and there it stayed. Just sitting there. A quiet reminder that I keep putting myself on the afterthought list. I'm sure most can relate to this!

It isn’t about the bath bomb. It’s about the pause I owe myself.
The exhale I keep delaying.
The tiny moment of kindness that could shift the whole tone of my day if I actually gave it to myself.

So this weekend, I’m choosing one small promise to myself. Something simple, gentle and doable. Perhaps it will be to use that lovely little bath bomb.. Something that tells my nervous system I’m paying attention.

Self care, to me, is real. It’s noticing what my body and heart are asking for and giving myself small moments to feel nurtured and loved. It is the quiet return to myself that I forget to make when life gets busy.

✨

Reflection:
What is one small promise you can make to yourself today?
Not a task. Not a goal. Just something that feels nourishing, honest and easy to keep. 🌿

Annnnnd.... here is my second series of prompts for the season.. this one is The Gratitude & Conscious Indulgence Series, a gentle lead-in to the festive season and a reminder to slow down before the rush begins.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how easy it is to move through the day without really seeing what’s right in front of us. The scent of something cooking, the softness of the air, a shared laugh, the way light filters through the trees… that’s abundance. It’s all there, quietly waiting to be noticed.

Over the coming weeks, I’ll be focusing on noticing more, appreciating what’s already around me, and letting small moments of presence feel like tiny celebrations. Gratitude doesn’t ask us to have more, it simply invites us to see more. ✨

Reflection:
What simple moment or small detail could you choose to savour today?
How might presence help you feel more grounded as the day begins? 🌿
