This episode is filled with aliveness, with guest expert Grecia sharing her journey into the liberated woman and the tools and modalities that have guided her along that she now devotes and shares as her mission. Grecia vulnerably shares how her body once felt like a prison, she felt captive by her own mind and controlled by fear constantly feeling like life was an internal battle. In not knowing where to turn she had to face the darkest corners of her soul and her past and the true knowing that there was more to life, that it was possible to live authentically, alive and free by diving into the fears, judgements and uncomfortable emotions of anger and shame only to guide her into her own liberation. This is what it means to live life fully alive to meet all emotion from a place of awe and beauty to access even more liberation of self and expression.

In this deep-dive conversation with the beautiful soul that is Charlotte, we touch on the embarking of spiritual practices that have shaped and assisted personal growth in managing and overcoming some of the 3D fears that come through to halt us, stagnate us in reaching and living in our fullest potentiality. What I loved about this conversation was the respect and teachings that Nature brings us to help guide us on our path when we open to knowing that we are not separate from nature but of it this connects us to the oneness and back to the infinite support that is available to us. Charlotte's journey really interconnects the teachings of spiritual practices around the world, it is through her gained embodied experience of not just academically adopting these teachings but actually moving through them for her own healing first and then to help assist others. Charlotte shares with us in this episode the importance of showing up and doing the work and also not holding back in sharing your voice, remembering why you are doing what you are doing, and holding this profusely. She relates this to her Shamanic Andean teachings and the Medicine wheel that guides her through life for deep inquiry and truly giving permission to feel what is coming up beneath the felt fear is how we can work with it to heal. Charlotte also shares with us a beautiful tip on how we can sit in discomfort and feel fear, because as we know freedom is on the other side of fear.

Brooke’s transformational journey is truly inspiring, she shares with us in this episode what some of her pivotal realisations and ah-ha moments were that we then integrated in and through the body to create change. By dropping into her body and heart as her guiding compass allowed her to not only tap into her fullest potential but begin to live it trusting in her own inner guidance and voice.

Joined by my beautiful sister Annika, a soul purpose coach who's mission is to inspire and empower women to work out what they really want to do in life, and feel amazing taking it forward, she knows that when in flow with the cycles of nature and the moon life can be and feel easy. On this episode we explored the journey and the process of discovering one's soul's purpose through Annika’s incredibly inspirational and enlightening story we moved through some major pivotal parts of entering and reconnecting with the voice of the soul, the awakening of true personal purpose and stepping into the embodiment of living out this transformation. The embarking of discovering one’s soul purpose begins with the reconnection of mind & body and it is through this process that one can begin to remember, ignite their gifts and translate this out into the world.

You do not want to miss this episode with Carly Ann, an expert Somatic Attachment Therapist specialising in relationship attachment styles with over 12 years’ experience supporting people in transforming their lives. Through Carly’s own healing she began to realise the patterns she was playing out in relationships and how and why they were showing up time and time again. Throughout this episode we hone in on unworthiness and the abandonment wound both of which commonly stem from childhood of not having needs met and how this can show up and replay out in adult life and relationships. Carly Ann shares some very important tips on how to recognise the attachments in relationships and how to begin to navigate these to understand what it is that you truly want. We touch on how important the inner work is to consciously make the changes to breaking habitual subconscious patterns and how it is through relationships that we can begin to expand our own awareness and notice the triggers to be a tool for our own healing.

An insightful episode with @khadauraroshan sharing all kinds of transformational nuggets and wise words of inspiration. Touching on points around the container of the masculine holding the space for the creation of the feminine intertwined together to form structure guided by a depth that @khadauraroshan embodies so beautifully. We deep dive into different topics of conversation exploring various interests that bring about change to one's life, one that myself and @khadauraroshan share is around dance embodiment and how the movement of the body acts like a paintbrush of expression for accessing deeper truths and allowing the space to feel into the depths of emotion. There is so much empowerment shared in this episode, how taking full accountability shifts your perception into taking back control and power of your own life! Nothing has control over you unless you allow it to…and @khadauraroshan shares his vulnerable story around this. Be sure to listen to this episode and share in the comments what insights you received. I certainly learned so much from @khadauraroshan and I thank you for your wisdom and presence!

Sisterhood wounds? What are they? We will all have our own understanding of the term and for me in my healing journey, this has been a major major theme! Continuously showing up in various ways has really made me have to pause and look deeper, at the roots, at the preconditioned learnings...I invited my beautiful sister Iman @healingwithiman on this week's episode to have a discussion around sisterhood wounds as we have been co-creating/facilitating sister circles together which we have both come to realise has been such a beautiful experience for our own healing! I loved sharing this conversation with Iman in such a pure and vulnerable way…both sharing stories around bullying, competition, and the importance of unity, collectively coming together to heal…what I find so beautiful about exploring sisterhood wounds with other sisters is that the wounding is so similar the stories and narratives may differ but the underlying pains and wounding have a patterning around distrust… fear of judgment…and not feeling fully seen or heard all of which derives from a much much deer place that has been passed down the generations. Please let us know in the comments below whether you could resonate with anything that was shared, let us support each other together, we are here to break the chains.

This week I was invited to speak on Bevan’s @thewellbeingwhizz Omnicast Podcast. With mental health conditions increasing worldwide it is more important now than ever to talk and share the truth around this subject from the eyes of each individual…it often gets thrown around anxiety disorder, depression…as if segregated or boxed from another…from my belief this is not at all true, we all experience feelings of anxiety and depression…but it does not mean we are those emotions it means we struggle to manage/detach ourselves from the emotion taking control of our lives. Through work like Bevan’s @thewellbeingwhizz who helps people to understand the depths of what anxiety is and work through their own feelings of anxiety highlighting the understanding that ‘anxiety’ is as an emotion rather than a disorder - this in itself already sheds a positive light…because what we know about emotions is that they are energy in motion…they come and go…and it is our responsibility to heighten our awareness of our emotions so that we can come to terms with them and start to find our own way to manage them - which is where mindfulness practices come in. In this episode, I share my story of when ‘anxiety’ was my predominant emotion and I did not even know it…when I was unconscious of my thoughts and feelings which allowed the anxiety to obtain autopilot. I share ways in which I experienced burnout, where my life living in this way was not sustainable nor fulfilling which led me to prioritise my own wellbeing…and here I am today.  We hope you enjoy this episode, there are definitely lots of laughs in here too! Let us know in the comments below if these stories resonate with you, it is time to speak out safely.

This is a very juicy episode, talking with Maria @mariajuzwin, your heart guide. Maria shares her journey into rediscovering her worth that has transformed her life in ways she could never have imagined…she is fully unleashed, unapologetic, authentic and truly lives life from the heart guiding other women to do the same! In this episode, we talk about how our worth and saying ‘yes’ is conditioned in us from a young age. This makes honouring our sacred ‘no’ difficult to do…Maria shares with us how she untangled this conditioning and gives advice on how we can begin to embody our sacred ‘no.’ When we begin to say ’no’ to things that are not what we truly want in their fullest form, it acts as a signal to the universe that we know our worth and we begin to attract in more of what we do desire (not just settling for something that ticks just 1 out of the 5 boxes). This takes a great amount of self-trust, but self-trust and self-worth go hand and hand. When we know our worth we trust we deserve all we desire. The power of this conversation got really heated and the passion in my voice was radiating! What I love about conversations like these is that when we listen to the stories of others we realise they aren’t that different to our own…the stories that maybe we keep hidden, or feel ashamed of are the same stories that shape you, transform you and must be owned and talked about as part of you - you are never alone, and in speaking out you encourage others to embrace their truth, feeling safe and held in the process.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Pete, @pete.5087. Pete is an inspirational and wise gentleman that I had the pleasure to connect with through the retreat we attended for our Reiki Usui Mastership training. Pete shares with us his trilogy highlighting pivotal points in his life's journey that were signs leading him to embark on his spiritual path leading him to where he is today as a powerful healer. Through his curiosity about the universe and everything in it, Pete was always drawn to spiritual work that came and went throughout his life. It wasn’t until he had a psychic reading from a medium who told him about the Harry Edwards Healing Sanctuary, which Pete attended and truly began awakening his innate gifts. Through this awakening, Pete had an affair with alcohol which for him was another important pinpoint moment of his life that took dedication and commitment to overcome that really allowed him to open himself up completely! What I loved about Pete’s journey is that his calling was always with him (like it is with all of us) and throughout his life, there was a host of what may seem like ‘random’ events that kept leading and encouraging him back to his destined path. Just know that it is never too late to answer your calling, just be ready and willing to answer. Connect with Pete: @pete.5087 or email: pete.5087@yahoo.com . . .

Joined by the lovely @sashafardell_ this week who openly shares her transformational journey through the darker moments to the realisation moments and to the deep inner healing work that was necessary for her to do to come home to who she is and transform her life into living her passion as a soul business coach.  She activates other women on their journey to move through the transitional phase in creating their business and overcoming some of the common fears that arise. It is through the inner healing where the true outer transformation arises, when we come home to who we are, to forgive, accept and embody our past experiences as part of us, to understand that trauma we faced does not need to hold us back or take control. That through the continuous healing journey and the awareness of self, you can detach yourself from the triggered fear and take conscious action and not unconscious reaction. Through formed connections with others and their stories acting as a mirror for self to awaken the required action for your own soul growth. The signs are always around you, the guidance is always pushing you in the right direction, be open to feeling through the emotion, feeling through the healing for true bountiful transformation.

Are you really happy? I find this question can often get a lot of people’s backs up as it forces them to have to evaluate their lives and really look at if it is all making them happy…not other people, not what they think happiness looks like but personally happy. In this week’s episode, I invited the gorgeous Mel @transformingyou.coach to talk about all things career. Career is such a big part of our lives and so it makes sense that it has a large impact on our happiness! Mel shares with us her transformational journey into a career coach after working in the tourism industry for over 10 years, having been greatly impacted by the pandemic she was faced with the question of: ‘Am I Really Happy?’ Within her process of reflection upon this question, she began to unravel parts of her career life that actually were toxic and she shares with us her experience of workplace bullying. We often forget that we have a choice on how we want to live our lives and find ourselves falling into a trap…life doesn’t have to be that way, it takes a rewiring of mindset and unlearning of belief systems and that is exactly what Mel guides you to do, whether feeling stuck in your current career or wanting a change…fundamentally it comes down to what makes you happy, and choose that!

Have you heard of a Feminist Therapist? In this week's episode I am joined by Vania, a Feminist Therapist and expert in her field in helping people heal from gender-based violence, abuse, and related trauma. From a young age, Vania has always had a strong awareness and passion for gender equality. Through her own life experiences and experience working with many abused women shelters around Toronto and overseas led her to focus on her area of expertise into becoming a Feminist Therapist. Vania shares further aspects of what Feminist Therapy is and how it differs, involving somatic-based therapy which intentionally uses knowledge from the body and our own nervous system, and feminist narrative therapy which looks at your life stories and how they have shaped the way you think and act. Vania predominantly works with women and new parents in assisting them on the journey into parenthood focusing on healing trauma, breaking those ancestral cycles and generational patterns. I absolutely loved this chat with Vania, which is extremely raw and thought-provoking, it may get you thinking back to your teenage years…it certainly did me!
