Episode 7: In this episode, Bella shares her journey of recently completing her Reiki Master's course, the integration that follows, and gets candid about how social media has truly been impacting her life as a small business owner in the wellness world. We chat about the often overlooked but essential phase of learning: integration. What happens when we lean into true integration? Beyond the certificates and the online presence, this is where the real work begins... it is quiet, deep, and often invisible to the outside world. We’ll explore why when learning a new modality, embodiment matters more than engagement, how to reconsider your relationship with social media, and why slowing down might be your most powerful move yet.

Episode 5: In this episode, Bella Nichol dives deep into the wisdom of traditional cycle syncing practices and shares her own personal simplified, intuitive approach. She breaks down how she removed the overwhelm and made cycle syncing both accessible and sacred, making it a tool for self-connection rather than perfection. Learn how to honour your natural rhythms in a way that feels empowering, easeful, and truly your own. This conversation explores what it means to not just track your phases, but to honour them, turning everyday rhythms into rituals of self-connection, embodiment, and power.
