We move through these phases twice — the second round takes us deeper into renewal.

Most people feel the physical shift in the first half. The bigger shifts tend to arrive in the second. You choose how deep you go.

"It's more than a reset. It's a total body, mind, soul transformation."

What actually happens over forty days.

On the final day of renew, Victoria was offered the job she wanted. At the salary she'd dreamed of. With Friday afternoons free for her other passions. And feeling more alive than she had in decades.

Everyone's forty days look different. This was Victoria's.

Most of my adult life I've walked two paths at once.

One out in the world: 20 years as a strategist, advisor and mentor working alongside people carrying big, bold, necessary visions — ASX and Fortune 500 executives, founders, change-makers and public sector leaders. Hundreds of leadership and visibility programs with thousands of leaders across the world. Designing strategies for their businesses, movements, rebellions and lives. Work that's taken me from boardrooms to governments to the deck of the world's largest all-women expedition to Antarctica.

The other path has been quieter: decades exploring holistic health, ancient wisdom traditions, spirituality, and learning to build the capacity to fully hold the first one.

And through all of that, I kept seeing the same pattern repeating (in me and in my clients) — I watched brilliant visions not realise their full potential. Not because of a lack of strategy or talent, but a shortage of capacity to hold it all. Depletion. Burnout. Overriding the body to meet the urgency. Running on empty. So I retrained in wellbeing and capacity building to meet mine and their needs — not instead of the important work, but so it could land. So the big visions could fly and ripple their impact out into the world, at this crucial time when the world needs every one of us leading in our full power and magnificence. I put state over strategy — and it worked.

I've rebuilt my own capacity from the floor up — more than once — when my body stopped asking me politely to slow down and live from vitality. Everything I share now, I practiced first. Mother, founder, big responsibilities, bigger dreams, systems thinker, deep feeler, making my own ghee whilst dancing for longer than is strictly reasonable. ;)

I'm a certified Ayurvedic health counsellor, a trauma-informed yoga, meditation and breathwork teacher, and (still) a strategist, facilitator and mentor, now all rolled into one. I get to do everything I love and call it "work".

renew is where it all lives at once — regenerative wellbeing, purposeful community, sustainable leadership, all for the wild times we're living in. renew is what I do for myself each season when I need to come alive again. And what I've quietly walked depleted and stretched clients through in private for years when they've needed to uplevel.

Now I'm opening the door properly.

Come play.

The great con of modern wellbeing is that it made all of this your sole job. Alone. Self-manage, self-optimise, self-heal — with an app or self-guided course or individual therapist and a great deal of willpower.

That's not how we humans stay well or thrive. Never was. And who has excess willpower these days?

In these times of liminality and great change, it feels essential that we find places of shared support and wisdom. Connected, intimate and joyful spaces to care for each other, learn as we go and strengthen our capacity to hold space for ourselves, others and all the change unfolding.

We're all about joining forces in renew. When your motivation dips on day nineteen, you borrow some from the group. When you can't be bothered, you see what somebody else is doing and suddenly, mysteriously, you're fired up. When something hard surfaces — and something will — there are people right there who know exactly what this moment feels like, and can say "tell me more".

Picture us all as festoon lights strung across a garden at dusk. One light on its own is small. Beautiful, but small. When each one lights up and catches the next, the whole garden glows — and you can suddenly see everybody and how they really shine. And that light spreads to others to come join the party and make life brighter.

renew is a seasonal health renewal experience.

Grounded in the ancient wisdom traditions of Ayurveda. Translated for life today — the job you do, the season you're in, the people you live with.

It also helps to be clear about what this is not: it isn't a detox, a diet, or a deprivation program. Our eyes are fully locked on replenishment and the joy of renewal. And how we can support each other to live in sustainable and fully vibrant ways that enable bigger things to happen.

There isn't fully an existing category or perfect word for this mash-up yet — which is rather the point. The closest I can get is that it's a renewal practice. That creates ripples out into the world around us.

And here, we ask a different question to other spaces. Not what's wrong or what needs fixing —

but how can we create the conditions for thriving, both for myself and rippling out into the world?

You don't micromanage a healthy garden. You restore its conditions, and it grows. It knows how. Your wellbeing is no different.

So we start upstream. Not with deficiencies or problems — with the conditions that got us here. Then we get out of the way, and let nature's deep intelligence take the wheel again.

For more than 20 years I've worked as a strategist with people building real change — founders, CEOs, change-makers, public sector rebels, creative lone wolves.

I helped them design brilliant strategies and systems change within their businesses, their movements, their rebellions, their lives, their collapses and returns. And I watched the same thing happen, over and over: visions that couldn't fully come to life. Not because they were wrong or too big. But because the people carrying them didn't have the capacity — in their bodies, their nervous systems, their brains, their lives — to hold them.

That was many clients. That was also me.

Here's what I eventually noticed. These were people who understood, deeply, what a living system — a team, an organisation, a social movement — needs to thrive. They just struggled to apply it to themselves. So dedicated to the mission that they'd sacrifice their own vitality to it, forgetting that if the parts of a system fail, the whole thing never reaches its true potential.

None of us are separate from the systems we're trying to evolve. You are the system. We are the system. And those systems need us to create change from a radiant, thriving place.

We've built a world that trophies speed, output and reason — and that approach, followed all the way to its end, is deeply unreasonable, deeply unproductive, and quietly destructive. We ask each other to adapt to broken things. But adapting to something broken doesn't heal it. It just extends its life, at the cost of ours.

So what if we stopped?

And what if you didn't have to leave your life to do it — no bunker, no burning it down, no breakdown — but could live inside the families, workplaces, communities and systems you're devoted to, renewing as you go? What if your own vitality and radiance was exactly what everyone around you needed most?

I believe it is. I've seen it. I've done it.
