You've spent years putting everyone else first.

We think there's a point where that has to change, not as an indulgence, as something closer to overdue.

Fifteen years, 2,500 women, 300 retreats. We didn't build this by watching what's trending. We built it by choosing places and people with no compromise, because that's what actually holds someone.

This month we're showing you where that happens. Follow us and ❤ to find out more, as we take you to incredible places both near and far.

I met an old school friend this week.

She has a lot going on. Moving house. Starting a new job. Kids changing schools. An hour-long school run every day.

She told me she was worried about her anxiety levels and whether she’d be able to cope with it all.

So I asked her:

“What does your morning routine look like?”

“I don’t have one.”

And I thought… there’s your problem.

Not entirely, of course. Life is complicated and there’s no magic morning routine that makes everything easy.

But when so much around you is changing, having something that anchors you can make a huge difference.

I’m not talking about a rigid, obsessive routine where if you don’t do everything perfectly your whole day falls apart.

I’m talking about small daily habits that steer the course of your day.

Things that ground you.
Things that bring you into the now.
Things that belong to you.

My morning routine changes with the seasons of my life, but at the moment it looks something like this:

5.45am wake up
🪥 Teeth + a few exercises
💧 Splash of cool water
🫚 Hot water + ginger
🌊 Cold water dip when I can
🧘🏼‍♀️ 30 minutes of yoga
☕️ Black coffee + breakfast
📖 Sometimes a little journalling
8am ready to start my day

Two hours before the rest of the house wakes up.

Two hours that are mine.

And honestly, I love every element of it.

I often go to bed excited about my morning.

Yours will look completely different. It might be five minutes with a cup of tea, a walk around the block, some stretching, reading a few pages or simply putting your phone away for the first 20 minutes of the day.

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Choose one thing that makes you feel good. And start there.

Because when life feels like it’s pulling you in every direction, you don’t always need to change everything.

Sometimes you just need an anchor.

What’s your morning anchor? 🤍

Women empowered.

All ages.

All walks of life.

Finding joy in the simple pleasures.

Tapping into the childlike joy within.

Maybe feeling better doesn't come from pushing harder.

Just sit with that for a moment.

For years, I thought every workout had to leave me exhausted. Every day had to be productive. Rest felt lazy.

Looking back, I wasn't chasing fitness.

I was chasing worth.

Life has softened me since then.

Recently, I was reminded of that on a trip to Norway. Not because of the dramatic mountains, but because of something beautifully ordinary.

Sunday. On Sunday, everything was closed.

No shopping. No rushing. No pressure to be doing.

At first, it felt strange. Then it felt like freedom. It was wonderful.

It made me wonder whether we've forgotten how to pause. Somewhere along the way we've become a society that's always available, always productive and always switched on.

These days, I believe peace lives in the slower moments. A sea swim. A quiet walk. A coffee without checking your phone. Time in nature. Time with people you love.

I often think of a retreat as being the Sunday in your year.

A chance to close the door on the noise for a few days and reconnect with yourself.

As we step into August, maybe this is your reminder.

I’ve absolutely loved wearing these pieces from tame&wild - feel-good leisurewear & accessories over the past few weeks. 🤍

From slow mornings by the sea and yoga on the mat to travel days and everyday life, they’ve become the kind of clothes I reach for again and again. Comfortable, beautifully made and easy to wear wherever the day takes you.

It’s always a joy to find brands that create pieces which feel just as good as they look, and these have definitely earned a place in my regular wardrobe.

Thanks, tame&wild - feel-good leisurewear & accessories for creating clothing that moves with every adventure. 🌿✨
