are you like me?


Hey friend,

In my job I spend a lot of time connecting with people, but often through a screen. I'm sure it's the same for many of you

These days I find that when I'm called to show up in person I often don't look forward to it.

The voices that go through my brain tell me things like:

"it's a lot of time wasted traveling"

"think of all the tasks you could tick off your to do list" (things like writing this newsletter at 10am when I normally do rather than at 6.22pm before I sign off from the week ;-)

"not enough people will show up to the event to make it worth it"

I know this is my social anxiety talking.

I know it's my productivity programming tricking me.

I know that my inner critic is in the driving seat.

But still I feel reluctant. Can you relate Reader?

Then I have days like today and yesterday where I'm reminded why gathering in real life is so magical.

When I'm walking along the south bank, wanting to sing for joy, and remembering that London in the sunshine makes me feel alive.

When I host amazing women at a gorgeous small cosy networking event and hear them conquering fears, getting clear on their worth, making connections and helping each other out. [Here's the link to the next one]

This is Spring energy and I am here for it.

Sending some joyful Wild&Free spring energy your way, just in case you need a bit of that right now.

With love

~Rosie Farrer

P.s. If you want a bit more Wild & Free joy come join me and 12 other amazing women at the Wild & Free Summer Solstice retreat. Only 2 spaces left.

Heyooo Reader, This week's email is about what happens when you learn to better manage your inner critic. This time last week, I was on the way to host the networking event I run once a month for women in business. It was fabulous, full of uplifting, supportive, awesome connections - as it always is. But, that's not what this email is about. Picture this: I'm standing there, on the very busy overground train, drinking my tea and reading my book, surrounded by humans. The train stops, and more...

Hey friend, It's sunny in the UK. That's all anyone has been talking about this week. That and absolute s*it show going on in global politics. How? Why? Can we turn it all off and back on again? How do you get some space from it all Reader? Mine is definitely through movement in nature. Today (I'm doing my work from the trail, including writing this email to youuuuu. Team photo. I cannot get Pingu to stay still 😂 And by work...I mean the big picture stuff. One of my things this year is to do...

Wonderful Reader, I've had some stuff going on which means I haven't been emailing much, or been very 'out there on socials'. To stay ok I've had to reel things in, focus my energy. I'm sure you've had times like this and I know you'll understand. But I have been beavering away on things that bring me joy. As you probably already know one of these is the Wild & Free Retreat. It's always the most nourishing, soulful, uplifting and joyful weekend of my whole year. This year we are in Devon for...
