Hello lovely human,
It’s 2026, here we are! A new year.
This time of year always gets me in all the reflective feels, know what I mean?
Not in a big, spiritual, sit-on-a-mountain kind of way. More in a very ordinary, sitting-on-the-couch-with-my-kids kind of way.
The other night, we were watching old episodes of a television series, called Blue Heelers - episodes I acted in - and there she was. A young adult version of me, popping up on the screen like a time capsule I didn’t ask to open. Bright. Wide-eyed. Energetic. So alive. And I felt this unexpected mix of fondness and… ache.
Because she had no idea how capable she already was. No idea how socially fluid, expressive, or quietly magnificent she was. She was living the phase I now look back on with so much tenderness - without knowing its value.
I didn’t value myself then the way I value myself now. And I caught myself wondering: Is it designed that way? Or was that a weight I never needed to carry?
All I wanted to do was lean in and whisper to her, “Be here. Relish this.This energy, this vitality, this season - it’s precious.”
Sitting there with my kids beside me, it landed in my body, not just my intellect - the only constant is change. And so much of life is about learning how to be present for what’s already here before it shifts again.
One thing I know for sure is this - learning to give voice to my story, to move my inner thoughts out of my head and into conversation, is what has helped me meet life as it’s happening.
Not perfectly. Just honestly.
Talking things through didn’t make me someone new. It helped me arrive - again and again - in the now.
And that’s why I care so deeply about creating listening spaces. Because being heard has a way of slowing time. Of helping us value ourselves as we are, not as a future version we think we need to earn.
If this resonates - if you’re someone who values your inner world, your voice, your needs, and your desire to feel met - then you already understand the power of being listened to.
If you’re craving a month where you are prioritised, where your thoughts don’t stay trapped inside and where your voice gets the space it deserves - this might be your moment.
Sometimes valuing the now starts with letting yourself be heard.
Huge love,
