I often hear from clients and readers: “I’ve done the yoga, the meditation, the therapy… why do I still feel stuck?”
The truth is, most of us were never taught how to live in alignment with our body, emotions, and creativity. We’ve been taught to strive, suppress, and soldier on. But healing doesn’t come from pushing harder — it comes from softening into who we already are.
That’s where The VIBRANT Way comes in. It’s not a program or a product — it’s a way of living I’ve woven from my 25 years as a psychologist, my love of art and movement, and my own journey back to wholeness.
Here are the seven soul-steps of this path, along with a small practice you can try for yourself:
1️⃣ Validate Your Truth
When we dismiss or downplay what we feel, we abandon ourselves.
Try this: Write down one thing you’re pretending doesn’t bother you. Simply naming it is an act of courage.
2️⃣ Inhabit Your Body
Your body holds wisdom your mind often ignores.
Try this: Pause, close your eyes, and notice one sensation in your body right now — warmth, tingling, tension, breath. Let it be your anchor.
3️⃣ Break Old Patterns
Patterns protect us, but they can also keep us stuck.
Try this: Identify one habit you know is about avoiding discomfort (like scrolling or overworking). See if you can pause before doing it, even once.
4️⃣ Reclaim Your Power
Power isn’t control — it’s alignment.
Try this: Practise saying “no” to something small this week. Notice how your body feels when you honour yourself.
5️⃣ Activate Your Creativity
Creativity is how your soul speaks.
Try this: Take ten minutes to doodle, sing, or dance — not to produce, but to play.
6️⃣ Nurture Daily Rituals
Rituals are the scaffolding of a calm nervous system.
Try this: Choose one gentle ritual (morning tea, a stretch, journaling) and repeat it at the same time each day.
7️⃣ Trust the Process
The hardest step — surrendering to timing we can’t control.
Try this: Reflect on a time when life surprised you in a good way. Let that memory remind you that not everything needs to be forced.
✨ Living Vibrantly
The VIBRANT Way isn’t about perfection. It’s about remembering: you are not broken — you are blocked. And the smallest daily practices can clear the path back to joy, connection, and creativity.
Take whichever step speaks to you today. Even one small shift can ripple into a more vibrant life.
