In this episode, we explore drishti — the yogic practice of focusing the gaze — and how it extends far beyond the mat into the way we live, choose, pray, and create. Drishti is not just about where the eyes look, but about where our energy, attention, and devotion are placed. In a world that constantly pulls at our focus, drishti becomes a spiritual practice of simplification, clarity, and conscious choice. We talk about how focus itself can become prayer — how our actions, choices, and commi...
As we reach the end of the Year of the Wood Snake, we pause to honour what has been shed. The Snake teaches us about quiet transformation—about loss, endings, and the slow, sometimes uncomfortable process of releasing skins that no longer fit. This year may have asked you to let go of identities, roles, relationships, or timelines you once thought were essential. Not as punishment—but as preparation. In this episode, we reflect on what the Snake has helped you compost: the habits, beliefs, an...
This solo episode with Becky is a bonus episode - it's an excerpt from a recent ceremony Becky hosted for charity online at the beginning of December. The words work beyond the mind, speaking directly to the body, the nervous system, and the soul. You may be called to listen in stillness, to lie down, to close your eyes, or simply to let the transmission wash over you.

As the year comes to a close, Becky and I sit down to reflect on what 2025 has asked of us — and what it’s taught us about our capacity to change and adapt. We talk honestly about forced action, big decisions, and the slow shift away from self-sacrifice, resentment, and quiet martyrdom toward choosing dharma: following what feels true, energising, and alive, rather than what looks good on the outside. We explore how old patterns have fallen away — over-giving, collapsed boundaries, perfection...
In this episode, we explore ritual as one of humanity’s oldest technologies for care, meaning, and belonging. Long before productivity and self-optimization, ritual existed to mark transitions — births, deaths, initiations, losses, endings, and new beginnings — so we were never meant to move through important moments alone. Drawing from yoga philosophy, astrology, and depth psychology, we look at why ritual is essential for the nervous system, the psyche, and the soul. Ritual slows time. It c...
This solo episode with Becky dives beneath the Christmas lights and tinsel to reveal the much older magic this season is built on. We go back to England’s native spiritual roots, the pre-Celtic, land-based, water-honouring traditions that shaped the Wheel of the Year long before the Church arrived. Discover: why England’s original spirituality wasn’t actually Celticthe sacred role of underground water, springs and wellshow the Wheel of the Year formed from the Sun, the land and survivalhow an...
This episode is a deep dive into the fascinating truth that the body is the subconscious mind — and whatever emotions we don’t process, the body stores. Drawing on trauma psychology, polyvagal theory, somatics, and yoga philosophy, we explore how emotions are biological events rather than abstract thoughts, and how the vagus nerve shapes emotional memory and stress patterns throughout the system. We look at why unprocessed emotions can eventually express themselves as chronic tension, inflamm...
In this episode, we explore the ego—what it actually is, why it shows up so strongly, and how to loosen its grip so you can live with more joy, connection, and mental clarity. Instead of seeing the ego as “bad,” we break down its true purpose and how it subtly drives our thoughts, reactions, relationships, and sense of self. You’ll learn practical ways to soften ego-driven patterns like perfectionism, comparison, defensiveness, and the constant need to prove yourself. We discuss how an unexam...
Trigger Warning: Suicide and mental health. In this solo episode, Laura opens up about a crisis she can no longer stay silent on: the emotional suffering of men and the rising rates of male suicide. She explores why so many men feel numb, disconnected, and isolated — and how years of being told to “man up” has left them without the emotional tools needed to cope with stress, shame, and heartbreak. With raw honesty and deep compassion, Laura shares her own personal experiences, what she’s witn...
In this episode, we explore the deeper truth of dharma and the ripple effect — not as a metaphor, but as the lived reality of being human. We talk about how every one of us begins life in unity, arriving from Source and entering the world through our mother’s body. Childhood becomes our first initiation into separation, and the way we experience that separation shapes how we see ourselves, others, and the world. From there, the spiritual journey is simply the journey home: back to connection,...
In this episode, we explore compassion not as an idea to grasp, but as a vibration to embody. Through the lens of yoga philosophy and astrology, we look at how the heart opens when we stop trying to understand compassion and instead allow ourselves to feel it. We’ll talk about how true compassion begins with the self — how the softness we offer our own imperfections creates ripples that heal our relationships, our nervous systems, and even our sense of purpose. This is an invitation to practi...
Every year, when the clocks fall back and the nights stretch long, we cross an ancient threshold, and into Scorpio season, into darkness, into the underworld of our own becoming. In this solo episode, Becky unravels the true origins of Samhain and Halloween, the Celtic fire festival honouring death, rebirth, and the ancestors, and how the Church rebranded this potent portal as All Hallows’ Eve. She explores the myth of the Jack O’ Lantern as the soul’s guiding light, the hidden symbolism of A...
Spiritual awakening isn’t all light and bliss — it’s often the moment life cracks us open. In this episode, we explore what it really means to awaken: the dissolving of old identities, the chaos that comes before clarity, and the deep remembrance of who you are beneath the conditioning. Through the lenses of psychology, yoga philosophy, and astrology, we look at awakening as both a breakdown and breakthrough — a sacred initiation into deeper awareness. We’ll talk about how to navigate spiritu...
Everyone knows their star sign… but how well do you really know it? In this episode, Laura and Becky dive into what your “star” (or Sun) sign actually represents - your core essence, your life force, and the light you’re here to shine. We explore each zodiac sign, what the degree of your Sun means, and how the house it falls in shapes the way your purpose expresses itself in the world. Whether you’re a curious beginner or already fluent in astro-speak, this episode will help you see your sign...
In this episode, we explore the art of boundaries: what they are, why they matter, and the psychology behind how we set (or struggle with) them. We’ll look at how yoga can help us tune into our body’s wisdom to create healthier boundaries, and how astrology offers insight into the energetic patterns that shape the way we connect with others. A conversation for anyone who wants to honor their own needs while staying open to deep, authentic relationships. Did you know you can subscribe t...
In this episode, Laura & Becky open up about their personal journey with values — what they are, how they evolve, and the way they shape every choice we make. Together, they explore how discovering and living by their own values has impacted their work, relationships, and sense of purpose. Expect honest conversation, practical insights, and reflections that might inspire you to rethink what really matters most in your own life. Did you know you can subscribe to this podcast so that...

Why do humans seek approval — the “biscuits” of praise, validation, and gold stars that never truly satisfy? In this episode, we explore the deep roots of self-worth: not as something earned, but remembered. We look at the childhood patterns, societal conditioning, and inner dynamics (like the inner child and inner critic) that keep us chasing external affirmation. You’ll learn how to recognise when you’re reaching for biscuits — and how to nourish yourself from within instead. Did you know y...
In a world that celebrates hustle and constant productivity, how do we return to simply being? This episode explores the subtle, often misunderstood difference between authentic feminine presence and anima possession — when the inner feminine becomes distorted through performance or projection. Through the lens of Jungian psychology, astrology, and embodied wisdom, we unpack how to slow down, soften, and live from a place of wholeness rather than burnout. This is an invitation to remember who...
This episode dives into the raw, often unspoken terrain of shadow work, especially the parts of us that surface during retrograde season. The ones that whisper “you’re not doing enough”, or “you’re too much again.” The parts that keep us over-giving, over-apologising, over-achieving, or stuck in cycles of self-criticism. We explore how these patterns live in the body, the birth chart, and our everyday lives. For us, this shows up most vividly in the challenges we face as mothers - where the p...
