I’ve set myself a daily challenge for 2025.
Except it doesn’t feel like a challenge - it feels LUSH.
It’s feels like plugging in to a steady, calm electricity grid which is constantly pulsing away with a sort of golden magical energy but that we usually completely ignore.
It feels like potential, possibility and freedom: daily.
It’s not costing anything - a very small amount actually because I love to be guided but hardly anything.
Nothing externally in my life has changed since the New Year; but I feel completely different.
What I’m Banging on About
Doing visioning work for 2025 led me to my words of the year (Devotion, Soul, Legacy).
Finding my words led me to my daily actions, the most important being: Soul Connection.
Daily Soul Connection or a Daily Soul Practice is leading to huge realisations and clarity; already I am making changes to my two IG accounts (one of which has nearly 20k followers and changed my life because it allowed me to build my breadwinning business while raising three small kids - just telling the truth here cos I need women to know what’s possible) and I know it’s about to change it again.
It’s only the third week of January, we’ve been dealing with multiple illnesses with kids almost constantly at home - and my husband being unwell too - and yet every day I’m being moved (often to tears) with my meditations, journaling, chanting, (I know! Witchy!) and more.
Don’t get me wrong, my Rage Dragon has come out to play this month too.
I feel like I’ve been on house arrest needing to look after so many people constantly plus as I am always working from home this combo has made me feel trapped.
The other day I had a little throwing things party when my Rage had to be embodied - I threw pillows, nearly threw my new glasses (restrained myself), threw toys and anything else I could find that wouldn’t damage anything.
So it’s not all blissful euphoria!
But a) Rage is absolutely fine and women are allowed to be angry and b) that’s why I need the Daily Soul Practice.
I can confirm that so far, it IS changing my life.
It is so easy to tell ourselves we don’t have time isn’t it?
It’s not usually the issue.
It’s more that I sometimes am not prioritising the things that will move me to tears or move me to believe in myself so deeply, with such unwavering steady confidence.
I spend time on the urgent tasks or spending time numbing out cos you’re I’m so exhausted.
Euphoria? Really?
The first time I experienced this feeling of euphoria and internal liberty was more than ten years ago when I did the Artist’s Way.
I became free of my limiting beliefs, connected to my Soul and started radically changing my life - deep in the middle of my fertility journey.
That experience led to my work coaching, advocating, speaking, writing and campaigning for the fertility community which I still do: my membership offers the only consistent, coach led support for women experiencing a fertility voyage in the world. It is the only platform of its kind which does not focus on outcome and is available 24/7 for the wraparound support necessary. It’s been running without a break now since 2020- all through my most chaotic personal years.
Now, with my three kids a little older (about to be 3, 5 and 8) but still very young (!) I feel more… capacious. Great word.
Anyway, I feel capacious (not, like, physically!!) I feel ready and I feel totally confident that what I do needs to be seen and heard FAR more widely than I have had the capacity to drive over the last five years of my life, since I had my second (and the world had a lockdown shaped meltdown).
But it’s not just because my kids are a tiny bit older.
It’s because of this daily Soul Practice.
I don’t feel like I’m pissing in the wind and hoping for the best (what a horrible image!).
I feel like I’m supported, guided and held every time I do my Soul connection.
I feel like my inner mentor, my future self, all the spirits and angels and goddesses are calling me forward!
“Come on babes!! Do it!! Be the version of you that we know you are!!”
I feel like I truly don’t give a fuck anymore what anyone thinks of me.
I just. Don’t. Care.
I’m free.
I’m driven by a deep motivation to support women to live their most abundant, empowered lives, creating multiple income streams, finding things hysterically funny every day, being completely true to themselves and smashing the patriarchal agenda by refusing to belittle their dreams or vision.
Yeah!!
On that note, I have to go because I have a sick kid and husband at home, 2 more that need collecting soon and friends for dinner 😜
I don’t know how to end this piece.
I’m showing up and working it out.
I’m here, you’re here, that’s all that matters isn’t it!!
if you want to find out how to make things happen in your life amongst all the chaos and feel euphoric every single day you can head to my website here.
No time to make this ending tidier- my 4 year old needs me!

Thank you for writing this piece Alice! You are right, more women do need to be reached by this and can’t wait to see how the year unfolds for you!
What I’m aiming to get back to is a daily meditation before my intentional journalling. The mindset shifts that come from something like this are so powerful!
Love this and sounds like it’s having a real impact. Can I ask what you actually do for your Daily Soul Practice, or does it change each day?
