For my little family, the 2024 energetics have been so different to 2023, the themes of this year have been slowness, sacrifice, devotion, joy and replenishment.

In this episode I bring you up to date from where we left o...

When I see people with big communities begin to talk about the challenges that conception can carry, I feel a kinship. When Lisa began speaking about her fertility challenges, approximately 8 years in, I knew immediately I wanted to speak to her.
