Ease is the New Rich

Someone asked me the other day,“What’s the best thing you did to prepare for motherhood?”
And before I could think about how to answer, my body answered for me:
I learned how to feel at home in myself.
Not in a metaphorical sense.
Not in a “self-care” way.
But in a real, embodied, grounded way —a relationship with my nervous system that anchors me wherever I am.
And what’s wild is that for most of my life, I didn’t even realise I wasn’t at home in myself.
I used to believe the most life-changing moments were the big ones —the travel, the businesses, the wild romantic chapters, the heartbreaks, the reinventions, the deep spiritual awakenings, the risks, the wins…
All the things that look impressive when you write them out as a timeline.
But the thing that actually changed me?
Learning how to inhabit my own body.
Learning how to stay with myself instead of abandoning myself. Learning how to feel without spiralling. Learning how to sense my reactions before they took over. Learning how to listen — really listen — to my body’s thresholds, cues, boundaries, and truth.
And the moment I truly realised, I didn’t know how to do that…
It was sitting on the grass in a park in Spain.
I was 26.
My best friend and I had been to yoga; we were drinking smoothies; the day was warm and golden — the kind of “dreamy Europe moment” you’re supposed to feel grateful for.
But I wasn’t there.
My body was physically in Spain, but my mind was looping in shame, overthinking, self-criticism, fear, and rumination.
What am I doing with my life? What's next?
What's wrong with me?
I remember looking at my best friend beside me and thinking: “This is a constant in my life. No matter where I go… I’m never really with myself.”
And that realisation hurt in a way that went deeper than sadness.
It was truth.
And truth has a way of rearranging you.
That was the real beginning.
The moment I knew something had to shift — internally, not externally.
I had done a few somatic practices before the trip, but there was a part of me that still didn’t believe they could actually change me.
I was too “in my head,” too used to performing, planning, analysing, pushing.
But life kept handing me these tiny invitations back into my body.
Like the night I stood in my bedroom doing a somatic practice — shaking, using sound, moving in ways that felt uncomfortable and almost embarrassing.
I kept imagining someone walking in and laughing at me.
The mind was humiliated.
But the body?
The body felt relief.
It was messy, awkward, strange… and it worked.
Because the next day, walking to Pilates — the same walk I’d taken every day for months — I noticed the white flowers on a tree I passed daily without ever seeing them.
I literally stopped on the footpath.
I felt the air.
I saw colour.
I tasted the moment.
And I remember thinking, quietly to myself:
“Is this presence?”
It wasn’t a huge awakening.
It was one of those soft, almost private moments that changes your life more than the big ones.
From there, the homecoming was slow.
Messy.
Beautiful.
Sustainable.
I shifted my intention from "I'm healing" to "I'm building a relationship with my body"
And this changed everything...
It began with learning the language of my own sensations — the tightness in my jaw before anger, the buzzing in my legs when fear rose, the heaviness in my chest when sadness surfaced, the numbness that appeared whenever something felt too big to feel.
I started understanding procedural memory —how my body was replaying old survival patterns I never consciously chose.
The tone I used. The way I held my breath. The instinct to overfunction. The impulse to shut down. The emotional intensity.
None of it was random. It was survival choreography.
And realising this softened so much shame.
Nothing was wrong with me. My body had simply been protecting me in the only way she knew.
Then came understanding the emotional roots of my patterns:
How overworking protected me from feeling “not enough.” How pleasing protected me from abandonment. How shutting down protected me from overwhelm.
How intensity protected me from vulnerability.
My reactions made sense.
My patterns made sense.
My body had reasons.
Slowly, I began interrupting those patterns in real time —not perfectly, never perfectly, but gently.
A half-second pause.
A hand on my heart.
A breath.
Feeling my feet before speaking.
Noticing my chest before my thoughts.
Letting sensations rise without attaching a story.
These tiny moments changed the entire trajectory of my life.
And then came the biggest shift of all after years of being in talk therapy, the mindset tools, the journalling I realised I couldn’t think my way into a new identity
I needed a body-based identity.
Not “thinking differently.”
Feeling differently.
Living differently.
Acting from regulation instead of survival.
Becoming someone my body actually felt safe being.
Not becoming someone new —but uncovering someone who was always there beneath the bracing.
And now?
My life still has ambition.
It still has goals.
It still has big vision and drive.
But it no longer feels electric or pressured or urgent.
It feels anchored.
Where I am - I am right there!
And I feel at ease!
Mindblowing ease.
Ease that I didn't even know was possible.
Ease in my system.
Ease in my mind.
Ease in how I show up.
Ease in how I relate.
That why I am convinced that: Ease is the new rich.
Not the ease that comes from holidays or convenience but..
Ease in my breath.
Ease in my nervous system.
Ease in the way I move through the world.
There is not external achievement that beats the wealth of ease.
This is why we created Sol Method.
Not to give people a practice, but to give them a relationship - one that changes everything.
Because I know what it feels like to live outside your body.
And I know what it feels like to finally come home.
And if something in this softened you,
if you saw yourself in it,
if your body whispered “yes”…then maybe this is your turning point too.
BODY REPATTERNED is where I teach everything that rewired me from the inside out.
The emotional roots.
The patterns.
The somatic identity work.
The regulation.
The capacity.
The homecoming.
Not to fix you.
But to bring everything you've intellectualised and actualise it.
Your body already knows the way home.
This is simply the space to walk it with support.
BODY REPATTERNED was born from the exact work that rebuilt me from the inside out — the practices, the insights, the emotional roots, the nervous system literacy, the body-based identity work, the pattern interruptions, the compassionate rewiring… all woven into a clear, structured journey.
And it’s different from anything else out there, because:
It starts with your body.
Most programs teach you how to think differently.
BODY REPATTERNED teaches you how to feel differently, respond differently, relate differently, and live differently.
Not from force.
Not from “discipline.”
Not from trying to be more positive.
But from safety.
Because mindset can’t land in a body that is bracing. Affirmations can’t stick in a nervous system that feels unsafe. Identity work can’t hold if you’re living in survival patterns.
That’s why so many women do all the healing work — the journaling, therapy, manifestation, self-development — and still feel stuck.
It’s not because they’re doing it wrong.
It’s because their body hasn’t shifted yet.
BODY REPATTERNED works at the deepest layer — the somatic, emotional, procedural layer — the place where your patterns actually live.
Inside it, you learn:
• how to identify your survival pattern with compassion
• the emotional root each pattern is protecting
• how to safely feel sensations so they stop hijacking you
• how to interrupt reactions in real time
• how to complete stored defensive responses
• how to rebuild inner safety so new behaviours feel possible
• how to expand your capacity for presence, joy, intimacy, and expression
• how to create a body-based identity instead of a mindset-only identity
• how to build a life that actually feels good in your system
It’s not just insight.
It’s not just information.
It’s repatterning.
A full nervous-system-to-identity shift.
This is the work that changed my life. And it’s the work that changes the lives of the women who move through it.
If you felt something reading my story —if you recognised yourself in the buzzing, the bracing, the overthinking, the not-enoughness, the “never really here” feeling —then BODY REPATTERNED is likely the path your body has been waiting for.
