I AM SO DONE 😩

It’s always the low-effort content and the most random things that perform the best… I think the Meta algorithm is playing me sometimes 🙃

If this reel found you, comment 👀 so I know the algorithm is actually showing me to real humans 😂

And while you’re at it, go give some love to the post I spent hours editing pleaseeeee 😩🙏🏼

I’ll return the favour and check out your page too 🤎

❤️💞❤️

As a small business owner / content creator, filming BTS content is something I really struggle with 🥲

I want to get the job done as quickly as possible, but also make sure I get the angles right (and my face looking right 🙄)

A 5-minute task turns into an hour-long ordeal 😂

How many views do you think this gets? 👀

Comment a number before the algorithm decides for me 😂 or show some love because I’m about to lose it ☺️

A weekend in my life as a self-employed mom in her 30s who runs a candle business 🕯️

Last weekend went by like a blur 💨

I spent the whole Monday morning catching up on sleep after a busy weekend at Ōtautahi Made Winter Market last Sunday 🥹

What a turnout! The market was buzzing the whole day! 🙏🏻 The rain didn’t stop anyone in from supporting local makers ☔️

I’m feeling so much gratitude for everyone who came to see me, gave me a hug, stopped for a conversation, and shopped the goodies I made 💜

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! It’s because of your support that I get to continue sharing my craft 🕯️🫶🏽

Have the best week ahead ✨

With love,
Irish Athena 💜

Super New Moon in Gemini is here 🌑♊

It’s been ages since I shared my insights about what’s been happening in the cosmos 🌌 🙈

To be honest, the last few years have been really rough and I rarely had time to write. My journals have been neglected, especially my moon tracking practice.🫣 I do still work with the energy of the Moon and the cosmos, but not in as much depth where I can put my words into paper.

This year, it’s one of the things I want to get back into and actually schedule time for in my week. 🙂‍↕️

I wrote this prior to Sunday’s Dreamscape event, but I just felt wiped after last week’s activities combined with the airy energy 🌪️ Monday had me completely spent, and I wasn’t able to open my laptop to share this. But the beauty of this practice is that it is not a to-do list to be ticked. It is intentional, which is what makes it a ritual. A way for us to slow down, tune in, and feel into the energy of this Super New Moon, which usually lingers for 2 to 3 days.
I intentionally took Monday off, which is actually “Moon Day,” ruled by the Moon and considered the best day to turn inward and connect with our inner world. It felt like perfect timing for my own integration after last Sunday’s beautiful hypnosis and soundscape journey I co-facilitated with the lovely Sandrina of Sandrina ✨️ Neurosomatic Coach | Hypnotherapy | NLP | EFT

From there, this is what came through…

This Super New Moon in Gemini 🌑♊ is a reset for the mind. A soft but powerful invitation to notice your thoughts, your conversations, and the stories you are telling yourself. It is not about having everything figured out. It is about becoming aware of what is shifting within you, and allowing new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities to come through.

If this is where you are at right now, you are not alone in it. Slow down, observe, and let things reveal themselves in their own timing.

Drop a comment on what landed for you or how you’re feeling in this energy 💜💨
