After a long unintended break, I'm back with a personal update (spoiler alert: I'm pregnant!) and since it hasn't been the easiest journey to get here, I wanted to 'share from the scar' alongside the lovely Ruth Wright (certified coach, journalist and fellow HSP - highly sensitive person) as we discuss, in a very vulnerable and open hearted conversation, our long and difficult journeys on the path to motherhood. We cover topics such as: Miscarriage & the subsequent griefThe m...

After the popularity of our first pod episode together, where we talked about the cycles of the moon and how they represent our own cycles of ebbing and flowing, I've been wanting to get Sam (@mumma_andthemoon) back onto the show for a while now so that we can dive even deeper into all things cyclical and seasonal. In this episode, we talk about how we can honour the shifting of the seasons, literally and figuratively; From the energetic peak of Summer where we reap the harvest of the ...

Today's guest is someone I've been admiring from afar for quite some time, whose words speak to my soul and make me feel like I belong. Vanessa Marie Dewsbury (or @soulalivebarrie, as you might know her on instagram) is a contemplative writer who thrives in the world of ink and solitude. Her introverted nature, evident from the earliest years, led her on a journey of self-discovery through the written word. Vanessa's literary endeavours began with private musings in her cherished journ...

Today’s episode is a solo one because there’s a personal topic I wanted to share with you which kind of picks up on some of the themes Anna and I discussed in episode 8 on the topic of friendships. A few people reached out to me after that episode to say that they’d also found highschool to be difficult, and so I wanted to dive deeper into the topic of friendship, and in particular, its shadow side, the topic of bullying. I’ll share a little of my own experience, which may invoke some e...

We often give so much airplay to our romantic relationships, but not so much to the other important relationships in our lives, the ones we have with our friends. For me personally, my friendships have changed so much over the decades, from having a best friend who I spent every moment with in primary school, moving onto highschool, making new friends & then experiencing the backlash that comes from being cast out of the tribe, to the then more mindful connections I made over the years du...

Alongside the regular pod episodes, I'm pleased to launch a sub-genre, a brand-new podcast series called AstroVeda.

Tune in every first Sunday of the month as we guide you through the cosmic energies and offer practical tips to align your well-being with the stars. In this month's episode, we cover: - The emp...

I’ve always been a very sensitive person and took the inevitable ups and downs of life as part and parcel of that package. But this year, after a particularly difficult time in the workplace, I worked with a resilience coach who helped me to see that sometimes it wasn’t the external factors that were having such an impact on my emotional rollercoaster, it was often my own inner narrative that was leaving the biggest dent in my self confidence. Listen as Alex and I discuss; The in...

I’ve noticed in the last year or so that hormone health has become a big topic of conversation in the wellness world & I am personally really fascinated with learning more about how our hormones impact so much of our daily life; from our energy levels, to our sex drive, our moods throughout the month and how we handle stress. So, I’ve invited hormone health coach Carina Greweling onto the pod today to talk about all things hormonal health. https://carinagreweling.com/ @hormonecoachcarina...

In this episode, I speak to Livy (withlivy_) - a Human Design Reader, a leader in the industry, and a guide for coaches who want to create more consistent income by using their human design. I probe her on what human design is, how we can experiment with our own unique design, and we uncover that even when we are living according to our human design, we can still ebb & flow according to our emotional waves. I first discovered Human Design when listening to today’s guest Livy on t...

I’d never thought of myself as a creative being until fairly recently. I’d always thought of creativity in a very literal way; if you are an artist who paints, draws or sculpts, or a designer who beautifies in a literal or digital sense, then you are creative. But in recent years, I’ve connected more to my own creativity and began to realise that as humans we’re creative by nature and this takes many forms. For me, creativity pours out through my writing, my yoga classes and the events I drea...

This week I wanted to talk about how we ebb and flow on our entrepreneurial journey and I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather speak to on this topic than my good friend, Holly Barber. Holly (@hollybarber) is a personal trainer, retreat creator and amplifier of other women in the Barcelona wellness scene. Despite living down the road from each other in the UK for most of our childhoods, we actually first met in 2020 in Barcelona, not long after I had moved there. That summer I was ...

In this first episode, I wanted to talk about a topic that’s very close to my heart - the lunar cycle, and how they not only replicate our own cycles of ebbing and flowing as women, they also influence them. So, I’ve invited Sam (@mumma_andthemoon), a fellow moon lover, moon circle facilitator and menstrual cycle coach, onto the pod to talk all about the power of the lunar cycles in affecting our mood, our energy and our ability to manifest all that we’re hoping to draw into our lives. ...
