If you were looking for a new episode today, you didn’t miss anything… season 1 has come to a close.

I’ve intentionally chosen to pause here, allowing space for what’s unfolding in my life right now. A time of big change, deep transition, and new beginnings.
I’m honouring the need to slow down, listen, and begin season 2 from a steadier, more rooted place: in my new home, in a new chapter. 🤍

Season 2 of Lead with Love will be arriving soon, with fresh clarity and renewed presence.

Thank you for being here. This journey means more to me than you know. 🌱
The pause is part of the path.

When you’ve been in relationships with emotional highs and lows, you may start to associate anxiety with love.
That means someone who’s steady and respectful might feel… distant or boring.
But it’s not disinterest — it’s regulation.
Healing means learning to recognise calm as safe, not as rejection.

In this episode, I share a fictionalised story based on a very real pattern — one many of us carry quietly inside: confusing trauma bonds for love, mistaking intensity for connection, and abandoning ourselves in the pursuit of being chosen.

We explore what love bombing looks like, how it hooks us, and what it really means to come “home” to yourself in the middle of that cycle — before it takes over.

If you’ve ever found yourself craving someone who isn’t giving you what you need… if you’ve ever felt addicted to a relationship that hurts… or if you want to learn how to interrupt the pattern instead of repeating it — this episode is for you.

To the girl who thought she had to be beautiful to be loved,

I see you.

I see how hard you tried - to be perfect, to be chosen, to be enough.
I see how carefully you learned the rules no one ever said out loud.
That if you looked a certain way…
moved a certain way…
smiled just right…
maybe you’d finally feel safe.
Maybe they’d stay.

I know how early the world told you:
“Your body is your value.”
“Your beauty is your currency.”
And so you learned to lead with it -
not because you wanted to,
but because it felt like the only way you were allowed to take up space.

And every time they looked but didn’t see you,
you made it mean something about you.

But my love - it was never about your face.
Or your figure.
Or your photo.
The ones who couldn’t see you…
weren’t meant to hold you.

You don’t have to earn love anymore.
You don’t have to trade pieces of yourself to be chosen.
You don’t have to be flawless to be safe.

Because you are the one choosing now.

And I promise you -
the right person will not love you more for your angles,
or less for your imperfections.
They will love you for the way your presence feels.
For the peace in your eyes when you’re fully yourself.
For the life that shines through you when you’re unguarded.

But even more than that -
I will love you.
Here. First. Always.
You don’t need to pose for me.
You don’t need to prove a thing.

You’re already home.
You’re already whole.
You’ve already made it.

And I won’t ever leave again.

With all the love we’ve been waiting for,
Me.

Next week, I’m going to take this journey full circle.
It began when I realised I could barely breathe in my own life — the toxicity I was surrounded by, the pain I was holding, the way I was being treated… and what I was allowing.
Then came the heartbreak — the end of a marriage, and the long, painful process of unravelling it all.

Now, I’m exploring what it means to begin again.
To open your heart after trauma.
To trust love when your nervous system has been wired for chaos — for trauma bonding, for love bombing — and you’re not even sure what healthy feels like.

But we don’t have to repeat the old patterns.
Every day is a chance to unlearn, rewire, and grow.

The healing we do within doesn’t just change us — it ripples outward, gently shifting the world around us.

I love this life. I love the depth of our emotions. The purity of all life that is moving so perfectly. It’s all here to help you wake up.
Breathe and smile…
Have a beautiful day wherever you are!
All is well 🌿

No matter what’s happening in your body, your thoughts, or your life…
you’re not the chaos.
You’re the open, quiet space behind it.
The witness. 🌿

I’m not trying to become someone anymore.
Not the one who gets it right.
Not the one who heals everyone.
I’m learning to come home to what’s always been here. 🌿

It’s not about destroying the ego.
It’s about seeing it clearly, with compassion…
until it no longer runs the show. 🌿

16/05/2025

It’s not our thoughts that hurt us.
It’s the moment we believe them.
But we can start to see them for what they are - just passing weather in the sky. 🌿
