Inspiration doesn’t always arrive as a lightning bolt.
Sometimes, it shows up slowly — in a note scribbled down, a conversation that lingers, a feeling that keeps gently tapping on your shoulder.
Today, I’m sharing one of those moments.
This week, I finally launched the Self Well Festival to staff.
Not with a big announcement or grand reveal, but with care, intention, and a deep sense of alignment. And in many ways, this is exactly what finding inspiration looks like to me.
The festival began as a question rather than an answer:
What would it look like if we truly created space for wellbeing — not as an add-on, but as something we actively choose?
That question became the spark. And over time, that spark turned into planning, conversations, and a vision rooted in slowing down rather than speeding up.
Over the coming weeks, the festival will unfold gently:
Staff will be able to explore sessions and pre-book in their own time Experts will be introduced one by one, allowing space to really understand what they offer Posters, emails, and quiet prompts will act as invitations rather than demands
This is where inspiration shifts from an idea into something tangible.
For me, the Find Your Inspiration pillar isn’t about chasing motivation or waiting to feel “ready.” It’s about noticing what matters, listening to it, and allowing it to grow at its own pace.
Launching the festival to staff feels like a reminder of that.
That inspiration is often quiet.
That meaningful things take time.
And that joy can be found not just in the final day, but in the moment you realise something you cared about is finally being shared.
As the festival moves closer to March, I want to hold onto this stage — the calm before the buzz. The gentle satisfaction of letting something purposeful step into the light.
This is inspiration, lived out.
And it feels like joy.
