Hi Reader Yesterday, I looked at my email list and saw 92 people who were subscribed, but hadn't opened or engaged with a single email in the last 90 days. And it made me think about something bigger. How often we hold onto things (and people) that look good on paper but don't feel real anymore. I had a choice. Keep them to boost my numbers, or remove them because I'm serious about building something real. I deleted them. Because I'm not about numbers. I'm all about bringing realness to life. In my book "She'll Do It Her Way," I talk about precious people - the ones who nourish your soul, not just fill your feed with 'stuff.' And I want this community to be soul-deep. Not me adding to the noise in your inbox that you scroll past. There’s enough of that already, especially on social media. This is different. This is Hide & Seek Work in email form. Soul-nudges that help you awaken to what you've been hiding, recognise the whispers you've been ignoring, and remember who you really are. But that only works if you slow down and go within. STOP. Not just scroll. So here's my Soulful Challenge to you: When you get my emails, are you stopping ...or scrolling? What made you sign up? What are you looking for here? What's landed for you so far? Talk to me. If you're reading this and thinking "I want to engage but I'm not sure what to say" ...just say that. Let me know you're here. That's enough. Keep shining softly Andrea - Your 'Soulful Challenger' PS: My Dad used to say, "It's either important, or it's not. You choose." So here's your choice: engage, or keep scrolling. But know that I'm building this for the ones who choose to show up real. |

Hi Reader I'm sitting in it right now. My morning chair. The one that catches the sun first. I have my coffee, my comfort blanket (not because I'm cold, just because it feels right) and I'm looking out the back windows at the birds doing their thing. It's bright today. Really bright. Even though I can see the frost still on the ground. The windows need cleaning. I notice that. And then I let it go. It's not a dreamy house or a dreamy world I live in. It's just mine. And this quiet bit at the...
Hi Reader I took these two photos over the last couple of weeks. Both blue skies. Both beautiful. Both in January. They look almost the same at first glance. But one was Manchester at 5 degrees. And the other was Barbados at 29. Same surface. Very different experience underneath. And that’s been on my mind lately. Because this is exactly what happens when something big is going on inside us. From the outside, life can look fine. We’re functioning. Turning up. Doing what needs doing. But...
Hi Reader She sat on the call and said: "I know I need to make a decision. I just don't know why I can't." We were 10 minutes in. She'd been circling the same decision for months. Talked it through with friends. Journalled. Made pros and cons lists. Still stuck. I asked: "What happens if you don't decide?" She paused. Then quietly said, "Nothing changes. I stay exactly where I am." "And how does that feel?" Another pause. Longer this time. "Safe." There it was. Realisation she was stuck...
