Brave Hearts

Finding strength in being vulnerable

“Bravery is the audacity to be unhindered by failures, and to walk with freedom, strength, and hope in the face of things unknown." - Morgan Harper Nichols

Dear friends

I am thrilled to announce a new initiative that aims to keep our connection alive and thriving, you may have seen me write about it most Sundays and it’s called Sunday WORD:ship. As I transition to offering exclusive content for paid subscribers, I want to ensure that our journey together if you’re a free subscriber continues with warmth, inspiration and encouragement.

Sunday WORD:ship is your weekly invitation to embark on a reflective voyage through the realms of bravery, resilience and self discovery.  Each Sunday, you’ll receive a thoughtful post featuring journaling prompts careful crafted to help you explore your emotions and embrace the power of therapeutic journaling.

This Sunday, through a few prompts, we’ll dive into the essence of bravery - what it means to be courageous in the face of uncertainly, how to overcome fears and the transformative journey of stepping into our truest selves.

But Sunday WORD:ship is more than just prompts, it’s a sanctuary for reflection, growth and community.  It’s a space where you can pause, ponder and connect with yourself and others on a deeper level.

As we navigate the vast sea of life, let my Sunday sessions be your guiding light, illuminating the path to self-discovery and empowerment.

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”.

And for those who feel called to dive even deeper into this journey, I invite you to consider becoming a paid subscriber.  By joining the ‘with ease’ community of likeminded souls, you’ll unlock access to exclusive content, regular journaling prompts, an invitation to join "Journal with Ease” club every Thursday at 1pm via zoom, discount codes to my affiliated stationery partners and latest news announcements to my writing and creative retreats with best selling authors and wellbeing experts.

Thank you for being part of my Substack adventure, on Tuesday I’ll be announcing some very exciting news!!  A new day retreat called “Doing Hard Things" with Ease, it will be hosted in a gorgeous barn in the Oxfordshire countryside this June.

In the meantime, please help yourself to the following Sunday WORD:ship journaling prompts, find a cosy corner and make some time for yourself, even if it’s just for 10 minutes.

1. Reflect on a time when you took a leap of faith despite your fears.  What did you learn about yourself in the process?

2. What does bravery mean to you?  Describe a situation where you exhibited courage in your life.

3. Think of a goal or dream that scares you.  What steps can you take to move closer to it, even in small ways?

4. Consider the people in your life who inspire bravery.  What qualities do they possess, and how can you embody those traits?
