Inspiration doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it grows quietly — from a question, a pause, a feeling that something more intentional is needed. Launching the Self Well Festival to staff feels like one of those moments. A festival rooted in wellbeing and built around one simple belief: championing self-care for the selfless. This is inspiration, lived out.

✨ Find Your Inspiration: Inventing the Life You Want, From the Inside Out
True invention isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about inventing the life you want by looking inward first. When we stop comparing ourselves to others and start listening to what truly nourishes us, inspiration returns. Not loudly, but gently. This kind of internal growth doesn’t demand reinvention, only intention — small choices that quietly shape a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and joyful.
The Day We Find Out Why
“There are two important days in our lives: the day we are born and the day we find out why.” — Mark Twain
Finding our “why” isn’t always a single moment of clarity. More often, it begins when we slow down enough to listen to ourselves. By making time for joy, inspiration, and self-care, we start to notice what truly matters. Purpose grows quietly in the moments when we feel aligned, energised, and present — reminding us that fulfilment comes not from doing more, but from doing what feels meaningful.
In the Quiet Places, I Find Myself Again
A better sleep score this week felt like more than a number — it felt like a quiet reflection of care. By slowing down, listening to my body, and weaving gentle evening rituals into my days, rest began to meet me where I was. Sleep, I’m learning, isn’t something to perfect — it’s something to invite.
Finding Joy in Family Listening — Beyond Commands and to Connection
So much of family life happens on autopilot. We ask, remind, tell — often without pausing to notice how we’re really connecting. But when we slow down and listen with intention, something shifts. Children soften, conversations open, and wellbeing quietly grows in the space between words.
This reflection was inspired by a thoughtful article from Parents Doing Better on Substack, which explores how children listen more deeply when they feel emotionally safe and truly heard — not managed through commands or demands. It’s a gentle reminder that connection, not control, is at the heart of family wellbeing.
At Find the Joy, this kind of connection matters deeply. Because when families listen to each other with care, they create the foundations for trust, resilience and everyday joy.
