Eat The Strawberry

Dearest Strawberry Eaters! I come back from a couple weeks hiatus from publishing here with delight and a rewed vigor. I am so grateful for you all, and for the opporutnity to publish my thoughts straight into the world. I decided last week to take a long break from social media, and specifically Instagram. I felt that the content I was sharing there was too valuable and not well-enough received b...

On today’s episode of Eat The Strawberry, Faolan dives into the often tumultuous “No” word, and how to use it well. Saying no has never been easy for me. It often brings up this fear of what will happen to a relationship. Will I damage the relationship if I speak what’s real for me? Will I break it? Will I get hurt because I’m claiming what’s true? These questions have been coming up a lot for me...

The more life I live, coaching I do, and people I help, the more I realize that all of living well comes down to having a regulated and relatable—as in we’re in relation to it—nervous system. On this episode of ETS, I go deep into explaining how to regulate a nervous system, and why it’s important. This is a public episode.

Tonight, I came across this note card. I was excited, because this is from a time years ago when I first felt inspired to write and create this blog/podcast space. I flipped it over and it read: When I read that, I was inspired to make what I thought would be a silly podcast about itching, but what became a rather inspired exploration of consciousness and morality. I hope you enjoy the travails of...

Hi dear ETS listeners! On this week’s podcast, I’m sharing about a difficult and humbling experience yesterday while learning to paraglide. Humility and Patience are two virtues which continue to be hard for me, and which I continue to lean into. Thanks for listening, and as always, blessings,Faolan Here are a few ways you can support my work and stay connected: * 🍓 Become a paid subscriber to ge...

Inner child healing is at the core of everything we struggle with. When we’re feeling held back, almost always, our inner child and their adaptive coping mechanisms, which are no longer working are at fault. Those protective mechanisms worked for a long time, but don’t anymore. And to reintegrate into a whole you, who isn’t compulsively or unconsciously continued to enact unconscious patterns, it’...

Hello dearest listeners! On this podcast, I do two deep dives into the future of my work and what it means to have a “vision” and how we can relate to those visions. If this podcast resonates with you, take a moment to consider why. What is it touching in you that feels like medicine in your soul? And, then ask yourself what you’d like to do with that medicine. Please enjoy! It means the world to...

Hey all! I had this podcast rumble out of me last night, and wanted to share it with you all. I’m sorry for the mic switch in the middle! Not sure what happened there. I’m still learning the balance between releasing imperfect content and making it excellent to consume. Patience is welcome! Blessings, Faolan This is a public episode.

This episode was a lot of fun to make. In it, I dove into various approaches to how to learn presence when our trauma activates our nervous system, and presence becomes challenging to access. This is especially helpful for those people who feel like they can never stop moving, who are always looking for the next thing to do, or who don’t know how to “turn off their brains.” Leave a comment letting...

For most of my life, I believed the lie. The lie that said I needed to achieve more, become more, strive harder to be worthy. That happiness was always just over the next horizon, that success would finally make me feel whole. So I chased. I coached Fortune 100 CEOs, worked with the top minds in business, dined at Michelin-star restaurants in London, traveled across six continents, backpacked thro...

For a long time, I leaned on the women in my life. The tricky part was that I wasn’t aware I was doing it. This truth was one of the gifts my former partner left me at the end of our relationship. When I look back, I was relying on her for my stability—emotionally, spiritually, and logistically. When I look back even further, I see that I’ve always done this, with all my past partners, and since I...

Last night, I sat by a river tending fire. The moon was bright in the starry sky, and crickets played background music. I watched the fire burn, coals a deep red under the lighter flame. Sparks climbed upward into the sky. I watched… And, I felt myself itching to do something. I picked up a stick to move the logs around, and then caught myself and said, “No, this would be rushing.” It had occurred...

(I’m sorry about her video getting really low quality around 15 minutes in. It was my bad! An opportunity for me to learn new tools.) Mari...

On this episode, I dive into my experience of trying to be someone who has “answers” instead of allowing myself to just be human and in the journey. In typical me fashion, I talk about love, mushrooms, God, and all of life. It was really fun to do this, and I’m excited to do more solo episodes in the future. If you have any feedback, please leave a comment! I would also love to hear what you think...
