Yin & Tonic: October 2026, Overwhelm and the Edges You Hold
The news. The worry. Your own tiredness. Everyone else's struggles.
You are holding a lot, and still showing up. Come and put some of it down for half an hour.

Save my free placeWhat is Yin & Tonic?
Yin & Tonic is my free live session online. It runs on Zoom on the last Thursday of each month, for 30 minutes.
Yin is the quiet side of you. The part that slows down, rests and refills. Most of us spend almost all our time on the other side: doing, fixing, coping.
The tonic is what you take away. Simple, practical things you can use the next morning to help you feel steadier in your body and mind.
You do not need to speak, turn your camera on or share anything. Just follow along.
I help the people everyone else relies on, depleted by day to day demands, to build sustainable performance without it costing them their health, or the life and work they love.

Overwhelm and the edges you hold
The world feels loud and broken right now.
You may be holding the headlines, the worry, your own tiredness and other people's struggles. And you are still functioning. Still steady for everyone else.
But holding everything takes something from you. It shows up at 3am when your mind will not switch off. In a tight chest. In snapping at someone you love. In a quiet sense that you have lost yourself somewhere along the way.
In this session we will notice what happens inside you when you try to contain it all. And what can change when you choose more carefully what you let in.
Who this session is for
This is for you if
- You are the one others lean on, at home or at work
- You feel stretched thin by everything going on
- You wake tired, or wake at 3am with a busy mind
- You know what you should do, but struggle to keep doing it
- You would like a calm half hour that is just for you
This is not for you if
- You are looking for a quick fix or a magic answer
- You want medical advice or a diagnosis. This works alongside medical care, never instead of it
- You would rather be told what to do than learn to notice what is going on for you and transform how you feel
What to expect and what you will learn
Settle
A gentle grounding to help you arrive. Your breath slows. Your shoulders drop. The day can wait for a while.
Understand
A short, plain look at why overwhelm lands so hard on people who already carry a lot, and what it does to your body, sleep and sense of self.
Practise
A simple exercise to notice what you are holding. Then easy ways to steady yourself and choose what you let in. We finish by noticing again, so you can feel any shift.
