Soulful Sunday - Remembering Who You Are In A World That Wants You to Forget

Soulful Sunday Newsletter

Hello and Happy Sunday!

This week I am feeling a tad more serious about how we can navigate the shifts that are happening in the world and in our own lives, with compassion and openheartedness for self and others.

I am appreciating this now moment as I drink my very strong Italian roast and reflecting on a week of much energetic shifting (solar activity etc.) and strangeness.
I have loved the sunshine and warmth as it's a rare treat for me. How has your week been? What are you appreciating today?

Grab a cuppa and let's dive in to some important musings that could make a difference in your world.

Today’s newsletter focuses on releasing the fear and conditioned responses from areas of our lives that keep us small (often at an unconscious level).
Let's dive in...

Remembering Who You Are In A World That Wants You to Forget

This week has been full of ups and downs, reminders, and a simple truth: in a world where honesty can seem rare and trust is hard to come by, your greatest strength is the spark inside you. It’s that core part of you—your creativity, your drive, your individuality—that no one else can take away.

Every day, we’re surrounded by noise—social media, news, entertainment, and the systems that shape our lives. Fear often sneaks in and tries to convince us to shrink back or give up our sense of control. But letting fear run the show means letting someone else decide who you are and what you stand for.

The idea of “giving up your power” might sound vague, especially if you’re not sure you ever had it. But you do. You’re free to make your own choices, and that freedom is worth protecting—even when the world feels overwhelming.

We’re often taught to avoid conflict or keep the peace, but the real challenge is staying true to yourself. Every headline, every post, every subtle message can try to shape your thoughts. It takes intention to step back, stay aware, and protect the spark that makes you unique.

Embracing the Flow: Finding True Strength

Pain doesn’t come from feeling emotions—it comes from fighting them. Fear isn’t really about what might happen; it’s about how we think we’ll feel if it does.

But when you face your fears head-on, you move through them and find clarity and new possibilities on the other side. What if, instead of dreading fear, you saw it as a challenge to get excited about?

Think of it as a dance—an invitation to grow, stretch, and try something new. When you treat fear as a spark, it can actually push you forward.

Holding onto fear or the past keeps you stuck and dims your light. It can make you miss out on new opportunities for joy and growth.

Being true to yourself isn’t just about letting go; it’s about moving towards a future that excites you. Your real strength is in embracing uncertainty, staying present, and trusting that you have what you need.

When you open your heart to the present moment, you’ll find less to fear and more to appreciate—compassion, energy, and new ideas.

For Transformational Practitioners & Entrepreneurs: Your Truth Is Your Business’s Heartbeat

If you’re a coach, healer, or entrepreneur, your business is an extension of who you are. Your authenticity isn’t just personal—it’s the driving force behind your work.

When you stand in your truth, your business naturally attracts the right people. Playing it safe, copying others, or chasing trends only waters down your impact. Instead, focus on what makes you unique:

• Lead with Authenticity: Your story and values are what draw people in. Share them honestly to build trust.
• Dance with Fear: See business challenges as chances to grow. Turn fear into excitement for new ideas.
• Embrace the Present: Don’t wait for the “perfect” time to act. Trust yourself and take the next step now.
• Create from Vision: Let go of what didn’t work before. Build a business that reflects where you want to go.

This is your invitation to bring your truth into every part of your work and watch the impact ripple outwards.

Reflection for the Week

As you step into the week ahead, ask yourself: Where in my life or business am I giving in to fear? Where could I stand in my truth more?

4 Practical Ways to Reclaim Your Power

• Listen to Your Inner Voice
  Take five minutes each morning to journal: What do I need today? Let this guide your day.
• Own Your Choices
  Notice where you’re giving away your energy. Take one small step—like unfollowing a draining account or setting a boundary with a troublesome person—to reclaim it.
• Stand Up for Your Truth
  Practise saying “no” to something that doesn’t feel right, even if it’s just a casual invitation that you would usually feel obliged to accept. You’ll thank yourself.
• Make Time for Stillness
  The world is noisy. Give yourself a daily moment of quiet—a walk, a deep breath, or a pause—to reconnect with your spark and allow remembrance of your inner power to come through.

Journal about these insights and explore actionable steps that honour your inner knowing and truth.
I’ll be opening up my 30-day journalling and meditation program “Write Your Way Forward”, at the beginning of July, to support folks in these pivoting times. I’ll keep you posted of when it’s ready. If you want to be on the waitlist, reply and let me know.

Final Thoughts

This Sunday, take one small, brave step to face your fears and live your truth—whether that means tackling a new challenge, letting go of something old, or simply enjoying the present moment. Your spark is yours to protect and share.

Whenever you're ready, there are 3 ways I can help you:

#1: Check our my Coffee and Coaching Live on my YouTube and Rumble Channels (Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning – 11 am – live). I'm restarting the lives very soon. Come check out my channel, and give me a like and subscribe.

#2: Strategy Calls

As entrepreneurs, sometimes we just need a half-hour with another like-minded person to figure out what to focus on next. And to keep it simple and identify our next, impactful, action steps.

Sometimes you’re too close (or ‘in it’) to figure that out for yourself.

How often do you take time out to move away from the doing in your business, and focus on the big picture, reviewing the dream and getting to the nitty gritty stuff that niggles you every day?

In the 1-1 strategy sessions I help you cut through the fog and get crystal clear on your next steps toward next level results - more clients, more sales, more effective marketing, tech clarity and simplicity – whatever it is for you.

If you are interested, drop me a message and I will send you full details and how to apply.

#3: Follow me on LinkedIn for more Tech, strategy, systems, marketing tips, and happiness-building.
