A Solo Adventure Ride Accross America to Feed the Soul
A Solo Motorcycle Ride Across America came from the opportunity to do some training for my business. And then an opportunity presented to me.. An opportunity came knocking and it turned out that, I have the means, the desire and like-minded people to help me make it happen. A business training opportunity became the reason and all flowed on from that. An incredible adventure wouldn’t have evolved if I had spent many hours debating, preparing, doubting. AND the magic became reality… When Opportunity Turns into an Amazing Adventure of Discovery Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. I have a wish board on my iPad…

Basic Survival Skills for Travellers
🌿 Back to Basics: Your Survival Skill Reset Ever feel like life’s just… too much? Like your body’s waving a white flag and you’re not even sure where to begin? Trust me, you’re not alone. When the chaos hits, the best thing you can do is hit the reset button and go back to basics. I mean really basic. As a therapist (and someone with a bit of military grit from back in the day), I’ve seen it time and time again—people spinning in circles, forgetting the simple stuff that keeps us alive and thriving. So let’s strip it all back and talk about the real survival skills. Not the…

The Squidgy Stuff…The Guts Of It
The Squidgy Stuff: Understanding the Mind-Body Connection Emotions—what I call “the squidgy stuff”—can make anyone squirm. Most people see emotions through a prism, with lights flashing in all directions when we lose control. Generally, we’re not taught that emotions have a direct effect on the body’s wellness. Have you ever seen something and felt a shiver run through your body without knowing why? It’s the old story: for every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction. When we have a thought, we always have a physical response in the body—conscious or unconscious. As Maya Angelou once said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” Our…

The Most Stressful Events in Life-Moving house Yikes!
🏡 Moving House: A Headache or a Hallelujah? Spoiler alert: It’s both. But mostly, it’s a golden opportunity wrapped in bubble wrap and chaos. “Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.” – Seneca Let’s be honest. When someone says, “I’m moving house,” our brains immediately scream “STRESS!” But what if we flipped the script? What if moving wasn’t a meltdown moment, but a magical metamorphosis? 🎁 The Gift of Moving (Yes, Really!) Moving house is like a life detox. It’s a chance to: Declutter your space Declutter your mind Let go of emotional baggage Make room for new energy, new people, and new dreams Sure, it’s one of…

Free Falling with Yoga
Free Falling into Yoga (With a Parachute, of Course!) By Linda McCall My first blog in this series took you along my wild ride into the world of Yoga. Now here we are—halfway through our NRG Yoga Teacher Training—and let me tell you, I’m free-falling deeper into the magic of it all. But not the “land-in-a-heap-on-the-floor” kind of fall. More like the “skydiving-with-a-parachute-and-screaming-with-joy” kind. That bum-clenching thrill of letting go, the wind in your hair, the giddy uncertainty of not knowing what comes next—but feeling held all the same. That’s Yoga. And trust me, the deeper I go, the more I realise: yoga isn’t just about the poses. It’s about…

Discovering the Strength to Flying Solo
Flying Solo – And Loving the Ride of Building Resilience Flying solo. Just saying it out loud gives me a little shiver of excitement. It’s that mix of butterflies in the belly, the thrill of the unknown, and the whisper of “can I really do this?” I’m sure you’ve felt it too – those moments where you step out alone, no safety net, and suddenly you’re the pilot of your own life. And let me tell you – it’s terrifying and exhilarating all at once. But that’s the magic, isn’t it? Comfort Zones and Wobbly Hearts Flying solo isn’t just about planes (although I’ll get to that!). It’s about those…

A Journey with Yoga
🌿 My Personal Journey With Yoga – By Linda McCall “Mastery combines a balance of science and art. Knowledge of science is like the colours on the artist’s palette—the greater the knowledge, the more colours available. The body is the canvas and the Asanas are the art we create.” — Ray Long, MD, FRCSC, from Scientific Keys – The Key Muscles of Yoga When I first read this quote, it felt like someone had painted my thoughts with words. It was simple, beautiful, and true. So here I am, diving headfirst into the world of Yoga Teacher Training. Why? Because I finally heard myself. 🎧 Listening to Myself I’d been…

Skys the limit…..or is it?
Flying Solo: From 30,000 Feet to Ground-Level Dreams Let’s be real—2012 was like that turbulent flight nobody wants to remember, but somehow we all made it to our destination with stories to tell! It was one of those years where the universe decided to shake things up for everyone, and honey, did it ever deliver some personal growth served with a side of “what the hell am I doing with my life?” For me, 2012 was all about learning where to draw the line and actually listening to that little voice inside (you know, the one that’s usually drowned out by Netflix and self-doubt). The outcome? Absolutely stunning. But let…

The Ritual of Tea
A Pot of Tea and the Soul of Ritual “Tea is the magic key to the vault where my brain is kept.” – Frances Hardinge There’s something exquisitely elegant about the ritual of brewing a pot of tea. It’s slow. Intentional. Nurturing for the soul. One of my all-time favourites? Rose tea—whether it’s rose petal or rose bud, it’s packed with Vitamin C and gently lulls you into a peaceful, dreamy sleep. Here’s a little something I wrote about what tea means to me. Pour yourself a cup and settle in… The Soul of Tea “Tea is quiet and our thirst for tea is never far from our craving for…
