Spring
"Spring is far more than just a changing of a season; It's a rebirth of the spirit" - Tori Sorenson
Ooh my soul has felt alive this week as Spring has finally arrived. The evenings are lighter, I am waking up to the sounds of the birds singing the dawn chorus and everywhere around me everything is bursting back to life with a display of colour that only nature can provide. It feels like pure earth magic.
Over the past couple of years, I have become much more tuned into my body and its natural cycles. I have come to understand that January and February are my slow months; the months when my body wants to curl up and be cosy. They are not my months for starting lots of new projects and getting things done. My body literally resists it. I used to make myself feel wrong about this. I used to call myself lazy and try to push through it, but this made me feel worse. Now, I recognise it for what it is, and I celebrate it. I am connected into the flow and patterns of nature. When the earth is resting and recovering, so am I. It is perfection.
Spring is a different story. I literally feel my energy shift and a new sense of purpose envelops me. Spring is the perfect time to tap into the energy of renewal and growth that surrounds you. To maximise the hours of daylight and to awaken your self-leadership and motivation.
So much of what we do runs counter-intuitive to this.
You start the year setting lots of goals or intentions at a time when nature is reminding you that you should be taking it easy and taking care of yourself through the dark, cold winter months. In most cases, the reality is you get to the second quarter of the year and realise that you have not made the progress you wanted to (because you should be hibernating!). You feel demotivated and you give up on your dreams before you have even got going.
Does this sound like a familiar cycle to you?
This is your moment to disrupt the pattern and to make a different choice. It is your chance to accept that your Winter season was for relaxation and renewal and that you are now entering the season of awakening and transformation.
What if Spring is meant to be a beautiful mirror that nature holds up for you and reminds you that this is the perfect moment for you to shake off what has been and to step into the energy of possibility and becoming? Perhaps there is no more perfect moment than this one right now to tap into your dreams and desires for this year and to lead yourself in their direction.
Spring comes to remind you that the wait is over. It is the perfect role model for your transformation.
A different take on ‘Spring cleaning’
I always get an impulse at this time of year to do a deep clean on my home. I wipe everything down, I clear out things that I no longer need, and I feel into the energy, space and freedom created from decluttering. It is not only my home that gets a Spring clean, so do my intentions, my dreams and aspirations.
Consider this…
What does the Spring version of you desire?
What do you want to call into your life?
Who do you need to become in this new season to achieve those desires?
Most importantly, what might you need to let go of?
For example:
What beliefs might be holding you back from stepping into this newly energised version of you?
Do your goals or intentions need to be polished? They may have felt in alignment back in December/ January, but do they still feel right now? It is ok to pivot, it does not make you indecisive or flaky.
Does this energy of renewal bring with it a new level of commitment to the life you truly want to create and live? If not, what is getting in the way and how do you clear it?
Getting rid of the physical clutter is one thing but getting rid of the mental and emotional clutter will really help you leverage this season of transformation.
Leveraging this energy beyond Spring
The self-leadership you demonstrate now will create momentum that will carry you through the next few months. This isn’t just about setting new goals because the ones in January were not achieved. This is about exploring, embracing and stepping into the version of you that is now energised to go all in your dreams and desires.
Think about this. The standard human pregnancy is 9 months. In the time you have left in 2025, you could literally create and birth a new human. What if you took that analogy and focused on ‘birthing’ the next level version of you?
The version of you that sees herself as the leader she is.
The version of you that is unapologetic about having big dreams and desires and believes in herself enough to go all in on them.
The version of you that believes that she is deserving of everything she wants and is more than capable of achieving it.
The version of you that is becoming No Ordinary Woman.
You have so much potential; this season is YOUR season.
As you consider who you are becoming in this transformational season of your life consider this:
What do you truly desire for your life by the end of this year?
What will it take for you to make it inevitable?
Who do you need to become to make it happen?
The No Ordinary Woman Spring Activation Plan
Here are some tangible actions to help create momentum:
Decide who you are becoming and start acting like her now. How would she dress? What would she do? What wouldn’t she do?
What 3 actions could you take to create early momentum?
Own this new, energised version of you. Take up space and show the world what it’s been missing

I want you to step into the world and feel the sunshine on your face (literally). Close your eyes, take a breath and ask yourself this question…
What will my life look like if I lead myself in this moment and fully commit to my biggest vision?
Allow your soul to answer and take the next step towards becoming the woman you are destined to be.
ENJOY.
