On Sunday evening, I attended an event with Maggie O'Farrell, author of the now very famous Hamnet. I saw the film (emotionally devastating, and entirely worth it!) and knew I wanted to hear her speak about her work and creative process.
Most of the Q&A centred on her new book, Land. It draws loosely on the stories of her ancestors' lives, on deep research into the people and history of Ireland across centuries, and on her own creative flow - pulling it all together, building emotional connection, bringing to life characters you want to get to know.
I really see writing as a kind of magic. And I find it fascinating when real magicians - writers, artists, creatives - can speak openly about how they create without destroying the mystery, or the miracles held within the process.
Towards the end, an audience member asked about the difference between writing a novel and writing a screenplay. She shared that the novel is entirely independent, the words are her's alone, her full responsibi...
Good news - we made it through the 38 weeks of January! It was a good month in many ways, but, didn’t it seem to stretch on forever?
Now we’ve crossed the threshold of Imbolc - halfway through Winter, quietly leaning toward Spring. The light is subtly returning, and the energy is beginning to move. And with eclipse season opening its portal, it can (finally) feel like we’ve stepped into an entirely new year.
Technically, the Year of the Fire Horse begins at the New Moon, which also holds our first eclipse, on the 17th. But I can feel it already - the warmth of the fire, the rhythm of hooves in the distance, the quiet sense of a new chapter stirring. And it feels exciting!
As we enter what may be an intense six-week stretch, especially for those who feel everything deeply, I want to speak about something important:
Sensitivity and intuition often travel together. But they are not the same. For those who are highly sensitive, this can show up in many forms.
For some, it’s sound. Sir...
There are moments that are quiet, almost imperceptible, when you realise your intuition has been speaking all along. Maybe it’s a whisper in the body, a flash of knowing, a subtle shift in the air. For most of us, it’s been buried under noise, conditioning, and the rush to “figure it out.” But when you pause, when you listen, something begins to heal, not just in your mind, but in your own nervous system.
Last night, we held the first call in our series, diving deep into Practical Intuition, a healed nervous system, and the boundary shifts needed to make life feel healthy and aligned. Thank you to everyone who joined live and to those catching up with the replay (you can find it on my YouTube channel HERE).
Honestly, I believe that what we covered are among the most important conversations we can have - here’s why:
Many teachings about intuition are tangled with superstition and outdated perspectives. And for good reason - our ancestors (and maybe we, in other lives) were judged, pu...
