The Power of a Pause: My Sacred Reset for Overwhelm, Motherhood, and Staying Aligned
Life lately has been... full.
Maybe you can relate?I'm a mother to a beautiful 1.5-year-old, still breastfeeding, still navigating sleepless nights—and also building my business, preparing my upcoming sacred retreat, holding space for my private clients, and doing my best to stay spiritually connected and energetically aligned.
The truth?
Sometimes it’s fcking hard.There are moments when I feel like I’m holding too much—unexpected events, illness, endless to-do lists, and the emotional weight of wanting to do it all well. Even typing this, I can feel a slight tremble in my hands. The most relaxed day of our week—our Sunday—turned unexpectedly chaotic. And I found myself asking:
How am I coping with all of this... while still raising Maya consciously?
🌬️ My Grounding Anchors
The answer isn’t one thing. It’s a sacred mix of soul habits that bring me home to myself.
Here are the grounding practices I return to again and again:
Daily Dose of MAGIC – This is my anchor, my practice, my sacred daily ritual. It's not one option among others—it's the foundation that brings me back to alignment, every single day. (More on that below.)
Playing and laughing with my daughter – These are sacred moments too. Her laughter brings me back to the present like nothing else.
Gratitude – Every morning, even when I’m tired, I whisper thank you. For the breath, the bed, the baby, the new day. Gratitude shifts my vibration immediately.
Walking in nature – I’m blessed to live just five minutes from Richmond Park, a wild forest with deer, ponds, and the sound of birdsong. Even a 15-minute walk regulates my nervous system and brings clarity.
Breathwork – Just 5 slow, conscious breaths while placing a hand on my heart can shift everything.
Mini Self-Care Moments – A warm shower with oils, lighting incense, drinking tea mindfully.
Me-Time (even for 5 minutes) – Sometimes that’s journaling, sometimes staring at the sky. Just being with myself.
Choice-Based Flow – I’ve stopped forcing myself to do everything every day. I listen to my body and soul and choose what feels most nourishing in that moment.
These aren't grand rituals—they're accessible, soul-soothing lifelines that allow me to reconnect with who I am, no matter what’s unfolding around me.
🌟 My Daily Dose of MAGIC
The heart of my alignment practice is something I created out of necessity—a sacred structure I call my Daily Dose of MAGIC. It’s become my anchor, and now, it’s the heart of what I teach.
Each letter of MAGIC holds a key to deep personal transformation:
✨ M – Manifestation
Partnering with the universe to design your life path
This isn’t about hustle. It’s about intention, trust, and aligned action. I visualize, journal, and speak my desires into being—daily. I also tune into the energy behind the desire: the feeling, the frequency, the why.
✨ A – Alignment
Choosing your truth, every day
I check in: Am I acting from my truth or from pressure? Alignment isn’t about perfection—it’s about living in integrity with your soul. For me, it's also about aligning my body and my mind—through movement, dance, yoga, or gentle exercise. Whatever helps me feel present in my body and clear in my thoughts. That’s when aligned action becomes effortless.
✨ G – Growth
Welcoming change as your teacher
Motherhood is constant growth. Business is growth. Healing is growth. I lean into discomfort knowing it’s part of the magic. Growth means meeting yourself with compassion while stretching beyond the familiar.
✨ I – Inspiration
Turning dreams into embodied action
I move with inspiration, not obligation. Whether I’m creating content or leading a session, I follow what lights me up from within. Inspiration often whispers when I slow down—and then it moves through me like fire.
✨ C – Connection
Deepening the bond with your higher self
This is the most sacred part. My practices are ultimately about remembering who I really am—beyond the roles, the tasks, the noise. And my daily meditation practice is key to this—it's how I return to stillness, receive inner guidance, and reconnect with my soul. It’s the gateway to clarity, surrender, and divine alignment.
💕 You Don’t Need Hours. Just a Moment of MAGIC.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, know this:
You don’t need to fix everything.
You just need a pause.
You need presence.
You need a breath.
Try this:
🌿 Take 5 minutes.
🌬️ Breathe in for 4… hold for 4… breathe out for 6.
🌸 Whisper a quiet thank you.
✨ Ask yourself: What kind of MAGIC do I need today?
Whether it's movement, silence, or inspiration—there's always one step back to yourself.
🌱 Want to Go Deeper?
This is just the beginning.
I'll be sharing more about each element of the Daily Dose of MAGIC framework in the coming weeks—so you can begin to weave it into your own daily rhythm.
And if you’re ready for a true sacred reset, a journey into ancient wisdom and inner remembrance… join me in Göbeklitepe this spring.
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s an initiation.
