Dear Reader

There comes a point, and maybe you’re at it now, where the tiredness you're experiencing isn’t just physical, it’s soul-deep, built from the years you’ve spent holding your truth in spaces that didn't know how to receive it, fighting for what was right while the world around you kept asking you to stay quiet, stay small, stay acceptable.

I slept for nine hours the other night, something I haven’t done since I was in my twenties. It was a sleep where my system finally stopped holding, where it felt like something inside me exhaled, and I knew I had finally journeyed to a place within me that no longer needed to hold what I had been holding.

It was the moment my system let go of the physical and energetic holding patterns, the ones that had been shaped by years of fighting to be heard, to be seen, to be considered, and I could finally feel that they no longer had a grip on me.

I’m sharing this because something in me let go that night, and I know some of you are right there too.

Your body and your energy might be asking for the same.

I have clients who are weary.

Some of them are exhausted. And there is nothing wrong with them, what they’re going through is that parts of them are finally unraveling, healing, and releasing.

One of my clients has taken some significant steps in finally allowing her emotions to surface. After decades of suppressing them, they’re finally being expressed. She is finally acknowledging and accepting them, and with that, her body is releasing the energy it’s held for over forty years. And she is so deeply tired.

And this tiredness, it’s not something to push through or ignore, even though your body won't let you.

It’s as a result of having spent so much of your life standing for what was true and right in places that tried to deny it existed.

It’s what builds up in your system when you’ve fought to be heard, to be seen, to be considered, to be treated with basic humanity in environments that were built to control, diminish, and dismiss the very things you hold sacred, your truth, your integrity, your sensitivity, your depth, your difference, your soul.

And most of the time, you didn’t even realise what it was doing to you, because it was just your normal, your way of fitting in, the only way you knew how to stay intact while everything around you tried to chip away at who you really are.

You might be feeling that too.

The tiredness you’re carrying might not just be from the day-to-day. It might be from the years you’ve spent fighting.

Fighting for truth, for integrity and what was right.
Fighting in spaces that wanted to control and suppress and avoid.

And the truth is, chances are some of that fight has been with yourself too.

You’ve been fighting against your worth, your visibility, the truth of your soul, fighting what you knew was true, because you didn’t feel safe enough, or didn’t know how, to fully live it.

When you stop fighting you, when you stop bracing, gripping and holding on, your system can finally find its own natural rhythm again.

And maybe this tiredness you’re feeling, isn’t something to push through, maybe it’s something to honour.

Maybe it means you feel safe enough in yourself, to rest, to be.

So if you’re here now, tired, questioning, worn out in places you can’t explain, this is for you:

🖤 What if this tiredness isn’t a sign something’s wrong, but a sign something is finally letting go?
🖤 Where have I been holding on or fighting to protect myself, and am I ready to let that go?
🖤 What would happen if I stopped fighting me, and simply let myself be?

Let yourself rest, sleep and just be.

Your system knows what it’s doing. It knows what you need.

It's guiding you home to you.
