How has July been for you so far, and what has been bringing you JOY?

For me, it was having my Mum visit me in Munich… It was fun showing her around the city, and realising how much my feelings for Munich have evolved from disliking it at the beginning of this journey into Rolfing, to really appreciating the beauty of the city.

While my Mum was with me in Munich, I also brought her to see my mentor Marisol for a Rolfing session, and had one myself alongside her… and that was so fascinating… more on that next month…

Another joy is that I complete my Rolfing journey on the 30th of July (the day after this month’s Full Moon!) Wahoooo!!!!

The Full Moon of July: the Buck Moon is about growth, determination and progress, and this month’s themes ask what it means to love without losing yourself in the process… or be so set on progress that we are unable to listen to our truth… a theme that has come up in my coaching calls with clients, and in business this month.

What Have I Been Journeying?

I taught about knowing our own Domain: a part of the Wheel of Consent training inside The Goddxx Path container this month.

There are four steps for knowing our own domain:

✨ Noticing what is happening in our body

✨ Trusting that what we notice is our truth

✨ Valuing it enough to let it matter

✨ Communicating it

I also experienced this with Maya Gandaia, my clothing line… I have been so excited to launch in August and seeing the first prototypes… but I just had a feeling something wasn’t right… and then that was confirmed when I realised the person I was making a deal with was omitting vital details about how she was making my products that didn’t align with my company values.

I had deadlines to meet… but I kept thinking about Schumacher’s Small Is Beautiful, who argued against an economy obsessed with growth for its own sake, and made the case for work and business built on human scale and real values not numbers first…

Because a yes (or no) where we value our truth is very different to a yes or no driven by deadlines… Read more at the Maya Gandaia updates here

Full Moon Journal to JOY Reflections:

So on that theme, here are some journal invitations for pondering your own truth this full moon.

Grab your Journal to JOY, and let your intuition speak without judgement:

✨ Have you made any decision recently where you weren’t valuing your truth?

✨ What is one standard or value you’re not willing to compromise on (even if it costs you a deal, a relationship, or an opportunity)?

✨ What would it look like to live fully by your intuition and express only from truth? I invite you to dream big and allow yourself to really feel into this one…

I realised that expressing our heart… as scary as it might feel, really does keep us aligned to our highest… to our Goddxx-like potential, and that for me is more value than any business deal or deadline.

Let me know what the journalling unfolded for you…
