Loosening the Grip & Letting Life Meet Me Halfway

It’s funny how life works, isn’t it? The moment you stop gripping so tightly, stop chasing with that frantic energy… things just… find you. Quietly. Softly. Almost as if they were patiently waiting for you to slow down enough to receive them.

This morning, the official press release went out… and I still can’t quite believe I’m writing this – I’ve been named Most Dedicated Female Health Coach 2025 – London as part of the SME UK Enterprise Awards.

Me. The woman building a life and business her own way – slowly, intentionally, with heart. The woman who’s spent the past few months deeply unravelling, working on letting go of control, of timelines, of those old beliefs that tell us we have to run ourselves into the ground to earn success.

Here’s the truth: I’ve been leaning into the unknown lately. Loosening my grip on how I think life should unfold. And the more I do, the more life meets me halfway – with magic I couldn’t have forced if I tried.

When you stop chasing… when you stop exhausting yourself trying to control every outcome… a strange, beautiful peace settles in. You move differently. Softer. More sure of yourself. And oddly, that’s when the world starts noticing you more, not because you’re shouting the loudest, but because your quiet confidence speaks volumes.

You’re no longer striving to be seen… yet somehow, you are. More clearly than ever before.

And maybe that’s the real secret: What’s meant for you? It doesn’t need to be forced. It doesn’t require you to lose yourself in the process.

I’ve learned – slowly, imperfectly – how to sit with myself, to be whole without needing the external to complete me. That kind of grounded, self-contained energy? It’s magnetic. And life feels it.

So today, I’m holding this moment gently. The recognition. The pride. The knowing that this is just one beautiful reminder of what happens when you let go, tend to your own light, and trust that what’s truly yours will always, always find you.

And Love – if you’re tired, if you’re done with the endless pursuit – maybe this is your nudge to loosen your grip too.

Sometimes, wanting nothing at all is exactly what brings in everything you once thought you had to chase.

Here’s to slowing down. To trust the quiet seasons. To let life surprise us in ways we never saw coming.
