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 to...

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...
In this episode, we reflect on the powerful transformations that unfolded during our recent 200hr Yoga Teacher Training - not just for the students, but for us as guides and space holders too. We explore the Heroine’s Journey as a framework for what it means to move from doing to being, from striving to softening, from performance to presence. Through honest conversation, shared reflection, and personal storytelling, we unpack how this training became a container for: Releasing old identities...
On 7/7/2025 — a numerological portal of awakening — Uranus, the planet of disruption and liberation, moves into Gemini for the first time in 84 years. This is more than a transit. It’s a revolution of voice, thought, and technology. In this episode, we explore: What Uranus represents in your natal chartHow Uranus in Taurus redefined values, bodies, and security — including the COVID yearsWhat Uranus in Gemini will awaken in our minds, our media, our nervous systems, and our spiritual pathThe ...
In this episode, we explore addiction—not just as a dependence on substances or behaviours, but as a symptom of deeper longing, disconnection, and unmet needs. Through the lenses of astrology and yoga, we unpack how certain planetary influences may illuminate patterns of escapism, craving, and emotional overwhelm. What are we really seeking when we reach for something outside ourselves? How can practices like pranayama, asana, and meditation help regulate the nervous system and reconnect us t...
In this episode, we peel back the layers of the self - Dive deep into the ancient yogic concept of the Koshas, the five energetic sheaths that form our physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual experience. From the tangible body to the blissful soul layer, you'll discover how these subtle energies shape your daily life—and how to work with them consciously for greater balance, vitality, and insight. We’ll explore where the koshas come from in yogic texts like the Taittiriya Upanishad, how ...
In this special episode, Laura is joined by her husband Adam for a deeply honest and powerful conversation about men’s mental health, emotional healing, and the sacred masculine. Having discussed masculinity and relationships on previous episodes with Becky, we thought it would be important to share the male perspective. Adam shares his struggles with connecting to feeling and what helped. We hope this episode can be shared with other men, to help them reconnect with themselves and the people...
Jupiter is about to enter Cancer and with it comes a wave of emotional expansion, spiritual nourishment, and a powerful reclamation of what abundance really means. In this solo episode, Becky dives deep into the astrology of Jupiter: the cosmic teacher, the generous guide, the planet of blessings, faith, and possibility. She explores why Cancer is Jupiter’s place of exaltation, what this means for your growth over the next 12 months, and how this transit offers a sacred reset — not just in ho...
We are standing at the edge of one of the most powerful energetic shifts of our lifetime. As Saturn begins to leave Pisces and Neptune prepares to do the same, we’re not just ending a chapter, we’re closing entire karmic cycles. In this episode, we explore what it means to be shaped by Saturn and Neptune in Pisces - the clearing, the grief, the spiritual weight, and what’s now rising from the ashes as both planets move into Aries. This is the astrology of starting over. Of redefining who you ...
hat even is meditation? Is it sitting cross-legged trying not to think? Or is it something much deeper, more sacred—and more personal? In this episode, we open up about our own experiences with meditation at where we are in life right now. We talk about: 🌀 Why your mind wandering isn’t a sign you’re failing 🌿 The real reason meditation is essential for liberation ⚠️ How meditation is not sitting crossed legged with no thoughts ✨ Our daily practices This isn’t about doing it ‘right’- it’s abou...
Holidays bring hope of connection, joy, and magic—but they often stir something deeper. In this episode, we explore the emotional complexity of holidays: the overwhelm, disconnection, and relational tension that can arise just as we’re expected to relax and enjoy! Why do holidays unearth what we normally keep hidden? And how can practices like yoga, mindfulness, and astrology help us hold what surfaces with compassion, rather than fear or reaction? We’ll talk about: Why the holidays can feel ...
