When Life Disrupts Your Flow: Turning Chaos into Opportunity

Hey Reader

Have you ever noticed how quickly your carefully crafted routines dissolve into thin air the moment life throws you any kind of disruption? 🤣

I mention this because I've been easing back into work after 10 days of friends visiting off the back of celebrating my 42nd birthday (and nursing an injury from a nasty fall to boot)!

And while it’s always lovely being able to show people this beautiful city and the life I've built here, doing things like hosting guests for an extended period can always end up a bit jarring because it disrupts our daily rhythms.

If you've ever taken a couple days off to have guests over, gone on vacation, or have some sudden life ‘thing’ unexpectedly wrench up your plans, then you know exactly what I'm talking about.

(Hello, I’m sure that’s all of you, because… well… welcome to being human.)

Your perfectly carved morning ritual to get the kids to school on time gets thrown out of wack, your work piles up in STACKS on your desk or inbox, and the balance you've worked desperately hard to create suddenly feels all wobbly.

Well, it’s in moments like these that I like to remind myself that life is more like a series of rhythms, rather than regimented routines.

Everything in nature has its own rhythm. Whether it be a day, a season, a heartbeat, or even gravity.

Each has a natural flow to it and if we're lucky enough, we can learn to float amongst the currents.

A lot of times we may feel like these disruptions work against us, but I beg to differ.

We are not meant to be “on” all the time. There are always ebbs and flows. And there is no perfect routine that when set into motion will give us a perfect life. Living life to the fullest is to allow for the flow, and to utilize these moments where we feel out of rhythm to our advantage.

It’s in these moments of wobbles where we can not only recover, but also refine what our vision looks like.

These disruptions give us the chance to take a step back and reevaluate our commitments, to purge what hasn’t been working, and to create something new in it’s place.

That’s exactly what I've been doing this week as we head deeper into Q2.

As part of this reflection, I've decided to shift Sacral Sundays to a monthly reset event. As a Generator in Human Design (and if you don’t know what this is, hit reply and I’ll put you in touch with some of my favorite experts), I actually produce energy when I'm doing things that genuinely bring me joy.

So my focus this quarter is to find creative ways to ONLY do things that genuinely excite me - and see where that leads me!

Switching up the frequency of Sacral Sunday will also give me the space to develop more specialized workshops focused on unblocking creativity, which excites the HECK out of me, so stay tuned for some updates there as well.

As of now, the next Sacral Sundays will be Sunday May 4th, and you can register for that HERE.


What's brewing

We have officially entered Taurus season, a sign that is deeply rooted in its desire for stability, comfort, and sustainable growth.

I’m hoping you've been able to take advantage of the fiery Aries energy of April and make progress on the creative projects you were dreaming up in the beginning of this year.

This month it's all about finding ways to create growth that feels stable and grounded, despite life's unexpected detours. Taurus energy asks us to slow down, be deliberate, and build something that will last.

It reminds us that true creativity isn't always about the lightning bolt of inspiration, but sometimes about the steady, patient hand that consistently brings the brush to the canvas.

After the initial spark of Aries season, Taurus invites us to nurture that spark into something tangible and lasting. So, what seeds have you planted that are now ready to be nurtured with steady attention and care?


JUST FOR YOU:

Creative AlCHEMY EXERCISE

This month, I invite you to practice this simple grounding exercise to help channel the Taurus energy of stability into your creative practice:

  1. Find a quiet space and stand barefoot on the ground (outdoors on grass or soil is ideal, but any floor will work)
  2. Close your eyes and visualize roots growing from the soles of your feet deep into the earth
  3. Take 3 deep breaths, and with each exhale, send any scattered or anxious energy down through these roots
  4. Now, imagine drawing steady, nourishing energy from the earth's core into your body with each inhale
  5. Place your hands on your creative center (3 inches below your belly button) and feel this grounded energy filling your creative space
  6. Ask yourself: "What one small action can I take today to move the needle forward in my creative projects?"
  7. Do this for one week and watch how the Universe guides you to take new, aligned actions from a grounded place

This practice helps transform frenetic creative energy into focused, sustainable action—perfect for harnessing Taurus season's gifts.
