The Spring Cleanse
I really enjoyed doing something different last month, and what surprised me was how important it was doing it alongside Nat. I don’t think I fully appreciated that beforehand, but when you’re in it, with the food prep, the dips in energy, parenting two young children whilst navigating cravings and that constant mental back and forth, it would have felt very different doing it alone. There was something about moving through it together that made it not only manageable, but very connecting and supportive. We were on a very similar journey physically and mentally, sometimes one of us slightly ahead or behind the spikes and dips, but always there to support each other through it.
I must admit it wasn’t perfect, there were a couple of moments where we slipped, a bite of the kids’ pizza here, a biscuit there, but overall we stayed 95% on track and that in itself felt enough. A nice reflection was it didn’t need to be all or nothing to still have such a noticeable impact.
What I recognised more than anything was the space it created. There was more clarity, more headspace, and a feeling of having more energy to put towards what we’re building. This felt far more valuable than anything else as it shifted something mentally and created a bit of distance from the usual noise.
It also made me look at the actual process of the cleanse. It didn’t feel like a diet or something restrictive that needed to be sustained, it felt intentional, like a reset. When I really thought about that, it didn’t feel new at all. It felt like a modern version of something that has existed for a long time, with different cultures using fasting or cleansing not as punishment, but as a way to reconnect, reset and create discipline with the body.
At the same time, something else came up quite strongly for me, and that was the belief around being good enough. Since working more with the mind I’ve been aware of many of my limiting beliefs and have been slowly working through them. This time being good enough showed up around 'meeting expectations', both the ones I place on others and the ones I place on myself. I realised how quickly things shift internally when those expectations aren’t met, how my energy drops, how everything tightens, and how that sense of flow just disappears.
It made me pause and question it a bit more:
Why do I feel the need to meet these expectations?
What am I actually trying to prove?
Who am I trying to prove it to?
Does it really matter?
When I sit with those questions, what I’m really noticing is that a lot of it comes from an old pattern of seeking validation, of believing that being “enough” is something that has to be earned rather than something that already exists. The expectations aren’t always mine, they’re often inherited, shaped over time, and carried without much thought.
And when I look at it honestly, a lot of what I think I need to prove doesn’t actually hold much weight at all.
So I keep coming back to something much simpler. That I am enough as I am, where I am, and that doesn’t need to change in order for me to move forward. At the same time, I can still want more, I can still have big goals and desires without that meaning something is missing right now. Both of those things can exist without cancelling each other out.
I’ve also noticed at times that I can slip into a lack mindset, especially around money, and it’s something I’m becoming more aware of and gently shifting. When I look at that through the same lens, it feels like another layer of that same belief, that there isn’t enough, or that I have to work harder to prove my worth.
However, that isn’t the life I’m building. I know what I want my life to look like. I want freedom, I want financial abundance, I want to build something that feels aligned and expansive, and I also want to continue working in a way that supports people.
That part of me has always been there, through coaching, teaching and my time as a paramedic, but I’m starting to separate the idea that service has to come with struggle. There is a way to do meaningful work and be rewarded for it, and I’m allowing myself to believe that more and more.
A simple learning from this reflection.
If there’s one thing this month has really shown me, it’s that things don’t have to be perfect to be meaningful. You don’t have to do everything exactly right for something to shift. Small changes, done consistently and with intention, create more than we often give them credit for.
And maybe that’s something to sit with…
Journal prompts for you
Where in your life are you holding yourself to a standard that feels heavy or unnecessary?
What would it feel like to loosen that, even slightly?
Where are you already doing better than you’re giving yourself credit for?
What would change if you allowed that to be enough, whilst still moving forward?

As we move into April I have a sense of things building. The Ideas are forming, there’s more direction, and it feels like things are starting to move. My intention is to complete my Hypno CBT diploma before my NLP training begins in June, and whilst that’s something I’m working towards, I’m also trusting that it will unfold in the way it’s meant to.
With the weather starting to shift and the days getting lighter, Im excited to say I’ve been putting plans in place for some outdoor sessions. Breathe at the Beach and Breathe at the Broads will be monthly sessions set at either sunrise or sunset. The sunrise sessions will have more of an awakening feel, something slightly different to what I’ve been offering so far. Still using the SOMA method with the wireless headsets, we will combine some more energising breath techniques to help set the tone for the day ahead. The sunset sessions will move in a slower direction, creating a chance to unwind, regulate and gently prepare the body for rest.
The headphones have been a real hit, they’ve completely changed the feel of the sessions and how people experience them. Being able to immersive yourself in the flow, whilst reducing external distractions has really supported the journey.
If you’d like to join, my events page is always kept up to date, and I tend to share new sessions over on Instagram as they come together.
And finally just to say thank you, genuinely, to every single person who has come along to a session so far. Whether you’ve joined once or you’ve been coming regularly I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you.
Much love,
Georgie x
