Tap to send me your reflections ♡

This episode is a bit of a love letter to mornings. Not the jump-out-of-bed, high-energy kind where we hand ourselves straight over to others and give them our day.

No.

This is a paean to that liminal space between sleep and wakefulness. To gifting ourselves slow moments to enjoy the dawning day.

I’m talking about real mornings and the metaphorical ones. The ones that come after a 'dark night' or period of wintering - when the world starts to feel a little more possible again.

I share some reflections on how I learned to reclaim my mornings, during my long healing process a few years ago, and how small shifts helped me effectively rewire how I moved through the day.

There’s also a practice I used to do (and forgot about until recently) that involved silently saying “you are beautiful” to strangers on my commute. Sounds a bit odd, I know, but it was surprisingly moving. I share how this morning practice helped me meet the world with more openness... and showed me some of my own unconscious bias along the way.

As often happens with these solo episodes, this meanders a little - from dark nights of the soul to metaphorical sunrises, via gargoyles in London.

It finishes with a poem from My Darling Girl that somehow landed in my hand just as I finished recording. It begins 'Settle to the morning', which felt pretty perfect.
