Hey everyone,Flourish is still enrolling (but only for 36 more hours - you can get in on that here!) and one of my favourite things about onboarding is asking Flourish students to DM me their aerial mood board - that's up to 10 IG reels or posts which give me a sense of their current interests and goals.

Hey everyone,Flourish is still enrolling (until 22 September) and here's one fantastic question I received this week: Can I participate in this Flourish cycle if I'm currently rehabbing an injury or unable to get in the air? Well, actually, a big resounding YES. [Obviously with some very common sense, context-specific caveats, so let me explain...]Working creatively around a 'limitation' is exactly what Flourish designed to accommodate. It's basically the kind of coaching programme I wish I'd...
