✨first published august 2019 ✨ i’m sharing this updated piece on my current bedtime routine with insomnia in mind. after a pretty brutal bout of anxiety during july 2019, i had to get super serious about an intervention to help me rest. here’s how it’s looking:
There are so many ways to show up and participate in the movement. These resources have been doing the rounds on social media of late, and i wanted to also share the article Deepa wrote that accompanies them, as well as some questions for reflection to help you to discover what role is most aligned with your skills and heart!

- i’m all for goal setting, but babes, we have to be real. And also kind to ourselves!
There’s so much emphaisis on what we aren’t doing right, that it feels like we are starting off on bad footing to begin.
These unrealistic goals feel at the root of so much unneccessary tension around new year you know, the “new year, new me” bs. Do you feel me?
whatever you choose to celebrate (or not), may you feel free to protect your space, your health and your joy.
Let’s hold space for ourselves and for each other. ✨
Sharing a little bit of story time, a little bit of real talk…some highlights and insights from my life in the Caribbean and Norway which i hope will be interesting, insightful and hopefully useful for you!

Whew! What a journey we've had. Sweet tender memories 💜
And i think younger Dionne would be amazed to still be out here 10 years later. And i won't sugar coat this neatly into a "happily ever after" line, because, there are still hard things in life. But i'm very glad of the experiences gained that teach me, i can get through them.
A side effect to the gathering of copious amounts of things i love, admire, respect and adore, is that i wonder if it’s too much. Replace “it’s” with “i’m”. Cause that’s at the root, right?
I wonder if i overwhelm with sharing. I- just- get- SO - enthusiastic about things.
Samin Nosrat is making space at the table!

What does that tell us really?
What are we measuring this against?

Reflections on being a solopreneur for the past 9 years. It’s been hard. And often a path that had me questioning, “…should i give up?!”
But something drives me, like Others, to keep going, despite the challenges.
And there’s lots of us out here, doing our best in this crazy world to make best of it the way we can.
And hopefully align with something that pings our pants on the journey.
Here’s my motivation. Let’s talk about yours! x
PS this blog might be a good accompanyment to my latest podcast episode 32!

There is so much talk about self improvement.
But what if we did something radical. And instead of trying to strive to be something else, something more, to have more to be more to acquire more
To be more neat. More fun. More healthy. More fit. More comfortably off. More well travelled. More woke. More liked.
What if we instead,
stopped.
Spend less time with the critics (or worse, trying to please them!), and more on following your heart, your true essence and your passions, that´s what! In other words, let go of what they think.
