You’ve never once accepted the official version of anything just because it was the official version. That’s not paranoia — that’s just refusing to switch your brain off, which turns out to be a genuinely rare quality on a first date full of small talk nobody actually means. Who Is the Awake Crew? Question-everything types,…

You knew it wasn’t going to work out before the second date even started — Mercury was in retrograde and his moon sign confirmed everything. You’re not “woo-woo.” You’re just paying attention to signals most people have trained themselves to ignore. Who Are the Spiritually Awakened? Crystal work, energy healing, numerology, a genuinely uncanny ability…

Life’s too short for bad music, flat energy, and people who leave the party at 10pm “because of work.” You’d rather chase one unforgettable night than plan ten forgettable ones, and you can tell within about four bars of a song whether tonight has potential. Who Are The Vibe Seekers? Festival regular, drum circle devotee,…

You can tell someone’s character by whether they wince or lean in when you mention your compost heap. You’re happiest with dirt under your nails, foraging for something you’ll probably Google later to check it’s not poisonous, and you’d trade a nightclub for a forest floor without a second thought. Who Are Earth Souls? Gardener,…

Four walls and a five-year plan were never really your thing. You’ve slept in a van in a layby, climbed something you probably shouldn’t have, and genuinely enjoyed getting lost on purpose. So the idea of “settling down” makes you want to immediately book a one-way flight somewhere. Understandable. Who Are The Wild Explorers? Backpacker,…

You’ve done a cold plunge before breakfast, argued a point at a protest before lunch, and you’ll still make it to the gym before the day’s out. Discipline isn’t a phase for you — it’s the whole operating system. So why does dating, of all things, feel like the one arena where none of that…

Your bathroom cabinet has more going on than most people’s entire personalities. Magnesium, herbs and supplements, a tongue scraper, something fermenting on the windowsill that you swear is “gut health, not neglect.” You didn’t choose the wellness life — the wellness life chose you, then handed you a very long receipt. Who Are The Wellbeing…

You’ve spent a fair amount of your life being told, in one way or another, to tone it down, fit in, be a bit more normal. And you’ve spent that same amount of time quietly knowing that “normal” was never really on offer to begin with. Good. It was overrated anyway. Who Are the Outsiders?…

My friends have a phrase they use whenever we go somewhere new. “Caren… please don’t make it weird.” The problem is, I genuinely don’t know where the “weird” bit starts.  In my head, I’m just having a normal conversation. Someone might mention the weather, and my brain doesn’t just hear “Nice weather today.” No.  My brain takes…

Hi, I’m Caren. I’m a single mum of two star seed children, and for the past several years I’ve been on what I can only describe as an awakening journey. Not the polished, Instagram version of “awakening” — the real one. The messy one. Before all this, my life was chaos, drama, and a permanent…
