Could this be your Turning Point too?

Lately, I’ve been seeing how little space we give ourselves to actually stop.

Not switch off. Not distract. But properly pause and notice what’s going on.

Most people are moving quickly. From one thing to the next. Work, life, responsibilities. There’s always something that needs attention.

And in that, it becomes easy to stay in your head.

Thinking things through. Trying to work out what to do next. What decision to make. What the right move is.

But thinking can only take you so far.

At some point, you need to feel what’s actually going on underneath it.

I’ve seen what happens when people give themselves even a small amount of space to do that at a session I facilitated called The Reset.

One person told me that simply sitting with a question and writing down their answer had more impact than they expected.

Another said nothing major had changed in their life, but they felt calmer. More settled. The rest of their day unfolded differently.

And one experience has stayed with me.

After a long period of going back and forth in a relationship, they chose not to return this time.

There was no big moment. No external push.

They had just stopped long enough to listen to themselves.

That’s often how change begins.

Not with a plan. Not with certainty.

But with a moment of honesty.

I’ve had that moment in my own life more than once.

The first time was in 2016.

I had just become a working mum and was trying to hold everything together. Work, home, expectations. From the outside it looked fine. But internally, it felt like constant pressure. Always moving, rarely present.

The second time was more recent.

I was doing work I believed in, supporting women’s health. But it started to feel harder than it should. Like I was pushing against something rather than moving with it.

Both times, I didn’t have answers. But I did have a sense that something had shifted.

What changed things wasn’t a big decision.

It was stopping.

Giving myself enough space to notice what I was feeling. To be honest about what was no longer working. To pay attention to what kept coming back.

That’s what I would describe as a Turning Point.

Not dramatic. Not always visible from the outside.

But a moment where the feeling inside you becomes clear enough that you can’t ignore it anymore.

And from there, things begin to move.

Not all at once. Not perfectly.

But in a different direction.

We often think change comes from doing more. Thinking harder. Finding the right answer.

But more often, it comes from creating space.

Space to step out of the noise. Space to move from thinking into feeling. Space to reconnect with what matters to you now, not what used to matter.

That’s where possibility opens up.

Not as a big, abstract idea.

But as something much more practical.

A different way of seeing your situation. A step that feels possible.

It doesn’t need to be dramatic. It just needs to be enough to move.

If you’re in a place where something feels unsettled, you don’t need to have it all worked out.

Start with something simpler.

Take a moment and connect to what you are feeling in your body. In your belly, your heart, your chest, your throat…

And give yourself a moment to feel the answer.

Your body is always talking to you, you just need to create the space to listens to it.
