You’re Not Looking to Escape Your Life. You’re Looking for Space.
We’ve been noticing something lately.
It’s not as dramatic as - “I’m changing everything about my life”.
It’s something quieter.
People are saying they want time that’s actually theirs, without feeling guilty.
Space to think clearly before making decisions.
Movement that feels good, not punishing.
Proper rest. Fresh energy.
And being around people who get it, without having to explain themselves.
Different lives. Different jobs. Different stages.
But the same underlying craving.
Most people aren’t looking to escape their lives.
They’re not trying to burn it all to the ground and start again.
They just want a bit of space.
A wee bit of room to reset, recharge, and remember what matters to them, without having to perform, justify it, or rush to an answer.
The in-between place no one really talks about
There’s a phase many people find themselves in, often without voicing it out loud.
You might be good at what you do.
Reliable. Capable. Trusted.
You might even like different parts of your work or life.
But… something feels off.
Not wrong enough to leave.
Not right enough to stay comfortable.
So you keep going.
You manage.
You think about it in the background while making dinner, clearing your inbox on a Friday afternoon, lying awake at night.
But there’s never the time or space to really sit with the questions.
And when there is a moment, it’s usually squeezed in between lots of other jobs and responsibilities, and then there’s the pressure to have it all figured out.
That’s when everything feels harder than it needs to be.
Why space matters more than answers
Clarity doesn’t tend to arrive when you’re exhausted and overloaded.
It shows up when things slow down just enough.
When your nervous system isn’t on constant alert.
When your body feels supported, not pushed.
That’s why so many people say they don’t want more motivation or another productivity system.
They want rest that actually lands.
Movement that feels kind.
Time to think without needing to decide anything yet.
Space changes the quality of the questions you ask yourself.
Instead of “What’s wrong with me?” or “Why can’t I just get on with it?”
You start asking things like:
“What do I need more of?”
“What actually matters to me now?”
“What would feel sustainable, not impressive?”
Those are very different conversations.
What we’re creating next
Our retreats are one way we create that kind of space, stepping out of day-to-day life long enough to hear yourself again.
But we also know not everyone can drop everything and go away.
And not everyone needs a big, immersive experience to start feeling clearer.
Over the coming months, we’ll be offering more ways to support people in this in-between place.
Short courses. Practical tools that help you think more clearly, talk about your work with more confidence, and make decisions without pressure.
Not about reinventing yourself.
Not about pushing harder.
About creating space - in your body, your mind, and your work - so the next step feels more possible.
If you’re reading this and thinking, yes, this is me, you’re not behind.
You’re not failing.
You’re where you need to be right now.
We’ll be sharing more soon.
If you’d like to learn more, you can join our newsletter here.
No pressure.
Just support for the people quietly holding a lot.
With love,
Laura & Nikita x
