In this episode, I share an early-morning message that came through at 6am, a moment of clarity that asked me to look at the question: What do I truly want? I read the message word-for-word as it was typed on waking, honouring my process and the way guidance arrives for me. At the heart of it is my deepening call to help free women’s voices, support them in rising, and reclaim the wild simplicity that lives within all of us.I explore:How intuitive downloads arrive in the quiet hours and why I’m learning to trust the uniqueness of my process.The core truth that my work in the world is about wild simplicity, liberation, and women’s leadership.My desire to stand beside women as they reclaim their courage, energy, boundaries and inner knowing.Why we must stop waiting for someone to save us and realise we are the ones who open the door to our next level.A metaphor from airport travel (yes, Ryanair 😂) that mirrors the healing journey and the moment we choose to step forward.The power of women feeling and moving emotions - grief, rage, joy, pleasure - instead of being overwhelmed by them.How I’ve shifted from categorising emotions into “days” to understanding that I can hold the full spectrum within a single hour or even moment.The distraction patterns that keep women disconnected from their inner power - appearance, productivity, perfection, “being good.”Why womb-led, heart-led, grounded feminine leadership is what the world needs more than ever.My own evolution from a shy, insular child to a woman stepping into her voice and remembering her inner wildness.The role of decluttering, simplifying, and intentional living as spiritual, emotional, and energetic practices.I also share more about my masterclass Wild Simplicity: The First Step, which is available now on my website and in my Instagram bio.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love:✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections on this episode.You can message me on Instagram @wildsimplicity or email me at hello@annaday.ie.

In this episode, I’m exploring something that came to me during my morning pages...the job descriptions we quietly, unconsciously write for ourselves. The invisible criteria, rules, and qualifications we believe we need to meet before we’re “allowed” to live our own lives fully as who we truly are.I talk about the ways we add to these internal job descriptions over time, how we adopt other people’s expectations as our own, and how this creates a lifelong sense of needing to be “more” or “better” before we can simply be ourselves. We dive into what happens when we reconnect to the essence of who we are beneath all the conditioning. That part of us that is free, limitless, and deeply alive. And we talk about the fear that can arise when we realise how much power and freedom we actually have, and the responsibility that comes with stepping into the driver’s seat of our lives.I share the importance of noticing where we feel resentment, irritation, fear, and stuckness, because these are the breadcrumbs that lead us back to our own liberation.This episode is an invitation to rip up the job description you’ve been quietly living by… and to remember that you don’t need qualifications, permission, or proof to be yourself. You’re already here. You’re already enough. And your soul is asking to live your life as you, messily, imperfectly, honestly, and with wild simplicity.I also share more about my masterclass Wild Simplicity: The First Step, which is available now on my website and in my Instagram bio.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love:✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections on this episode.You can message me on Instagram @wildsimplicity or email me at hello@annaday.ie.

This week on the podcast I'm exploring the question 'What if?' and how we can use this to expand ourselves into the world of possibility. I'm asking the question 'what if?' not from the anxious 'what if it goes wrong', but the from the more liberating perspective 'what if everything is already okay?'What if nothing needs to be different?What if we stopped trying to fix ourselves and just allowed life to move through us?What if we could hand over our worries, our striving, and our unworthiness and remember that we are already enough?In this episode, I share reflections from my morning pages and how this question, what if, has become a doorway to freedom, curiosity, and play. I talk about our subconscious patterns, the power of neuroplasticity, and how decluttering our inner and outer worlds creates space for magic.And I also share something new...my 25-minute class, Wild Simplicity: The First Step. It’s an easy, grounding way to begin decluttering your environment and energy so that you can reconnect to what truly matters. You can find it at annaday.ie or hereSo, what if you listened?

In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favourite topics - creation, co-creation, and the unseen magic that’s always at play in our lives.For years I kept this part of my world tucked away, but it’s really the heartbeat of my work. Manifestation (yes, that charged word!) is more than just about visualising things we want. It’s about feeling them in our bodies, trusting in the unseen, and living as if the magic is already here.I share how I weave these practices into my everyday life, from journaling and morning pages to conversations with my kids about timelines, the field of infinite possibilities, and creating our reality in real time. We’ll talk about the quantum field, the power of emotion, and how decluttering - both physical and energetic - creates the space for miracles to unfold.This episode is a gentle nudge to play with life, to notice synchronicities, and to let yourself be in process....messy, human, and wildly alive.✨ Come listen, feel, and remember the magic that’s been within you all along.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections on this episode.

In this episode, I explore what it means to move from the periphery into participation. From lurking and observing to expressing and sharing our voice.I talk about my own journey from being the quiet, shy child hiding behind my parents’ legs to learning how powerful it is to speak, to share, and to let myself be seen.I reflect on how our words, compliments, and simple acts of kindness ripple far beyond what we can see and how sharing them nourishes not only others but also ourselves.This is an invitation to take off the invisibility cloak, to stop waiting for the perfect moment to speak, and to remember that our self-expression is vital, regenerative, and deeply human. Whether through words, gestures, creativity, or connection....your voice matters.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections on this episode.

In this episode, I’m diving into emotional decluttering - releasing the inner clutter that builds up over time when we suppress or avoid our feelings.I share how anger became one of my greatest teachers and how the practice of swamping (a powerful emotional-release ritual shared by Regina Thomashauer, also known as Mama Gena) has become a daily non-negotiable for me.Just like clearing out a drawer creates space in your home, moving emotions through the body clears space within, for clarity, joy, and aliveness to flow back in.I talk about:The link between physical and emotional declutteringHow anger, grief, and overwhelm can become portals to powerSimple ways to move emotion...stomp, shake, dance, roar, breatheLearning to befriend your emotions instead of fearing themThe liberation that comes from feeling fully alive in your bodyThis practice has changed how I move through life. It’s grounding, freeing, and deeply human. I hope it inspires you to reconnect with your body, release what’s been held, and remember the power that’s always been within you.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I’m diving into the supportive Virgo season energy and the recent new moon eclipse as a powerful moment for decluttering, letting go, and simplifying.I share why decluttering our outer world creates shifts in our inner world, how even the smallest changes (like replacing a blunt potato peeler!) can reinforce our sense of worth, and how simple rituals can help anchor our intentions.I also offer practical tips, like starting with non-emotional spaces, using the 20/20 rule, and setting a timer, that make decluttering doable and even enjoyable. This is your reminder that letting go isn’t about deprivation, but about opening up to abundance, possibility, and a more aligned way of living.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I dive into what it really means to be human....messy, imperfect, courageous, and willing to show up even when we don’t feel ready. I share about:letting go of perfectionism, trusting the next step to reveal itself, and learning to express ourselves without waiting for the “right” tech, tools, or clarity.shifting energy through movement, trusting in our inner knowing, and finding freedom in self-expression. how our feelings can guide us but also how we sometimes need to gently move through resistance instead of letting it stall us.This is an invitation to stop waiting, to speak your truth in your own way, and to express yourself boldly, whether in voice notes, podcasts, conversations, or simply in your own family and friendships. It’s about building trust in the unknown, being brave enough to say what you need to say, and freeing your voice in this one precious life.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections.

After a summer break with my kids, I’m back on the podcast reflecting on the tender transition of back-to-school season. In this episode, I share about the mix of relief, grief, and sensitivity that arises with the passage of time and how I navigate these shifts as a highly sensitive person.I talk about the courage it takes to pause in a world that wants us to keep moving, the importance of marking transitions with ritual, and how decluttering both our homes and inner worlds creates the space to feel and reconnect with ourselves.This is an invitation to honour your sensitivity, trust yourself in uncertain times, and remember that small acts of kindness and presence ripple out into the world in powerful ways.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, I have something for you that you'll love: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereAs always, I’d love to hear your reflections.

This week I’m exploring the energy of boundlessness. This is aword that’s been with me over the past few days, in conversations, and moments of presence. In this episode, I share a personal story about choosing boundless love over shame in my relationship with my husband, and how that shifted everything in the moment.I also talk about:The difference between boundlessness and being boundary-less What it feels like in the body to soften into love when triggeredHow decluttering mirrors this process of expansion and possibilityA moment of eye contact with my children that opened a portal to something biggerSomatic practices that help me access boundlessness in real lifeThe beauty of choosing who you want to be right now, not somedayBoundlessness is a word I’ll be playing with for a while. It invites me to expand beyond limits I didn’t evenknow were there.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a mantra that’s been helping me through my days the last week or so: slow, simple, less. As we ease into the summer holidays here, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to carry the busyness of the end of the school year into the first few weeks of summer. But my body and my kids have been wanting something different.In this episode, I talk about:• How I’m consciously shifting from that end-of-term frenzy into a slower summer rhythm• A simple circle ritual I did with my kids to mark the transition into the summer holidays• The importance of recognising unseen work and emotional labour, especially during summer with kids at home• How the mantra slow, simple, less helped me navigate a birthday party weekend with presence and ease• Letting go of excess, in my home, my schedule, and even my thoughtsI share some prompts and practices you can use to invite in more slowness, more simplicity, and more spaciousness, especially if you're feeling the weight of the invisible to-do list or the pressure to keep up during summer.If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, here's something you might find helpful: ✨ Free Guide to Help You Start Decluttering: A Gentle Guide for Simplifying Your HomeDownload my free guide hereJoin the Next “Let’s Declutter” Group Online SessionWe’re gathering together online on Wednesday July 16th, from 11:00 to 12:15, to declutter a small space in our homes and feel some spaciousness within.

Welcome back to The Wild Simplicity Podcast. In this episode, I’m speaking about something I’ve been thinking about a lot: the importance of being yourself - your real, weird, wonderful self.I talk about the parts of us we’ve been told to hide, our quirks, our edges, our wildness, and how those parts are often our greatest gifts and superpowers. I explore how we’ve internalised messages that told us to shrink or edit ourselves, and how reclaiming those disowned pieces is a path to personal freedom and collective wholeness.I also reflect on the influence of AI-generated content and how it can dilute the unique voice of creators. I share how I’ve trained my mind to become more compassionate through affirmations, the subconscious work I started as a teen, and how those practices still support me today, alongside deeper somatic and body-based healing.This is a your invitation to stop fitting in and start belonging to yourself, to your truth, to your beautifully messy human-self. As always, I’d love to hear your reflections. What parts of yourself have you hidden? What would it feel like to bring 1% more of your real self into the world?You can message me on Instagram @wildsimplicity or email me at hello@annaday.ie.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast, I'm sharing about my personal journey of decluttering at the moment and what I'm feeling called towards right now. I discuss: How the process of decluttering goes beyond the physical space and extends into how we express ourselves and the mental and emotional clutter we carry.The nuances of how cycles and rhythms can be a wonderful guide and holding for us and how sometimes they can restrict us.Understanding how projections, like frustration with others (e.g., children or partners), often reflect unaddressed emotions or personal clutter.The deeper emotional work of deciding what to hold on to, what to let go of, and why it's so important to practice conscious decluttering and to go at your own pace.Enjoy and let me know where you are on your decluttering and simplifying adventure right now, whether that's in flow and excited or stagnant and stuck.

In this episode I'm exploring something that's been very present (pun intended!) for me lately - Presence. During a gorgeous visit from my friend to visit me here in Portugal I was having a think about what it means to be truly present and to really be in the moment, soaking it all up and not looking back later with a pang of regret that I hadn't really been there taking it all in. I also talk about:Why presence has felt so important latelyHow transitions (like seasons, beginnings, endings, visits) can bring up tenderness and emotionThe link between presence and emotionHow asking 'what would my last-days-self say' brings me back to what mattersLet me know what this episode stirs in you and what your relationship is with presence at the moment.
