Messy Magic

It’s PODMAS! That time of year where I attempt to do a daily, short and sweet episode from December 1 leading up to Christmas Day. 🎄 I have a few ideas for this season, and the general theme is that I want these episodes to feel like a breath of fresh air. A moment (ok, maybe a few minutes) in between your other podcast episodes that are mini gifts to you for the season. It could be a mindset shi...

A few days ago everything got too much. There’s been an undercurrent of turbulence and overwhelm coming for a little while for me, but on this particular morning it all got on top of me and I crumbled.  Can you relate?  If you find yourself feeling weighed down, I hope this episode will support you. For me, I feel as though I have a lot of projects happening at once, and I’m not doing anything par...

Believe it or not, the end of the year is just around the corner. 😬 For me, that brings up feelings of excitement and anticipation, as well as anxiety and a kind of fizziness.. Today I’m sharing some ideas - for both you and I - to help us cultivate an effortless end of year . They may be a little different to what you're expecting... but they're also applicable to planning your new yea...

Do you ever feel like you take one step forward, only to take 2 steps back? Do you find yourself taking a tentative (or maybe confident!) step towards something you want or believe in, only to receive a response that’s less than ideal? Ever feel exasperated about doing your best, but getting either crickets or criticism? I hear you. And I’ve been there a few times lately. I noticed a pattern, and...

❤️  Things are a little more personal in today’s episode… but then, all my episodes are relatively raw 😆  Today we’re exploring a personal situation - a life decision I felt to make - and how what I’ve learned through embodiment deeply supported me. I speak from the heart and talk about The transformation I experienced - how I was feeling before and after Details of the situation and why I felt t...

Many of us feel better in nature. Words like calm, relaxed, grounded, serene come to mind. As human beings, we are ultimately animals - so even though we may feel separate from nature, we simply cannot be. Did you know there are now scores of studies showing how humans unquestionably benefit from a connection with nature ? It’s something I think many of us intuitively know, but it’s also scientifi...

Why would you want to sensitise to your body’s wisdom? What can you learn and how can you apply it to life? And how in the heck do you do that?! Today’s episode is exploring all these things. How sensitising to your deep, inner truth can be of deep service to you, and how to begin to play with this practice. Ultimately, the ability to tap into your inner world, your body’s wisdom, allows you to li...

Welcome to Season 2! I’m really excited to be back in your podcast queue for a whole new season!  Today’s episode is all about giving you some ideas, resources and tools to lean on when life gives you lemons. It happens to all of us, and if you want to feel supported and resourced to get through tough times, having a treasure chest of ideas to support you can be invaluable.  I’m giving you 4 areas...

If you like to live with intention, I think it’s fair to expect to review how you’re going and recalibrate things. You can do this at any time, but I loved creating this little ritual around solstice and full moon, because that’s what felt resonant. It’s halfway through 2023, and I was feeling called to create a little process for reviewing my year and recalibrating myself for the remainder.  I fo...

Join me for a walk in nature while I reflect on a recent coaching session I received and how it immediately affected my life for the better. In this peek inside a feminine embodiment coaching session (through my reflections) you’ll hear about what was going on for me prior to the session, how I was feeling, and how I journeyed through my feelings to the other side which was (spoiler alert) grounde...

Join me for a walk on the beach while I riff on the messiness of life, through one simple example of trying to record a podcast episode for you! Thank you so much for listening. May this be permission (if you feel you need it) for things to be messy once in a while. Coaching Interested in some body-based, nature-centric coaching in your life? You can book in for a discovery session with me here (n...

As I record this episode it’s the Autumnal Equinox in the southern hemisphere. It’s also a new moon tomorrow. Lots of powerful stuff going on in nature, with the potential for us to harness and interpret these phenomenon to empower our everyday lives.  While the episode centres on Autumn, if you’re in the northern hemisphere you can reverse-engineer the ideas ;)  So today I’m joining you from the...

I was inspired to pop into your podcast queue today and say hello on the fly!  I’m out for a walk, so obviously you’ll hear from cicadas, wrens, waves on the beach and, of course, moi!  I’m riffing on walking in nature, forest bathing, spending time doing things that mean something to you, with a bonus visual description of what I’m witnessing  ;)  Listen in for some inspiration, and walk away wit...

As I record this episode, it’s Valentine’s Day. My belief is that the most important relationship in our lives is the one we have with ourselves (as simple as that may sound). How we think and care about ourselves ultimately impacts how we think and care about others. So I’m taking this opportunity to invite you into a heartfelt space of self-love. Not surface-level, heart candy self-love. Deep, g...

Tough love time. Are you making things hard for yourself? Life often involves experiences, dynamics and events that we would prefer were easier for us. From the simple everyday, to the bigger more complex, and heavier, it’s part of the human experience! Today’s episode is a series of simple steps designed to help you bring more ease to your life , specifically in those challenging or difficult sit...

And who doesn't want more vibrance!? There are lots of ways to achieve this, and today I’m walking you through an exercise I’ve been using t...

Stay tuned until the end of today’s episode for my quiet announcement and a gift for two beautiful souls in 2023! Do you like to set intentions for the year ahead? Have you set yours for 2023? What about a word of the year? Is this in your practice? I’m a fan of selecting a word of the year, which started out as a bit of fun a few years ago, but has developed into something that actually helps gui...

A simple meditation you can do at any time, and with an extra sprinkle of magic this Christmas. And if you don’t celebrate Christma...

It’s a beautiful time of year to think about what your soul needs, and nourish yourself accordingly.  🌸 What would you like to receive this Christmas? I don’t mean material gifts. But what are the intangible things you could gift yourself? I’m letting you in on 3 gifts I’m giving myself this Christmas. Spoiler alert : all three relate to either time and/ or space .  It’s PODMAS Day 23! 🎄 Have a...

I went to two hospitals yesterday (in relation to one incident). This episode offers 4 things I took away from the experience! There are always things to learn, magic to be found, from even the most unpleasant experience.  These are some of the things I'm taking away from a rather unpleasant experience over the weekend ;) It’s PODMAS Day 19! 🎄 Have a magical day x If you'd like to get i...

How are you feeling? But I mean, how are you really feeling? Today’s ep is a simple invitation to ask yourself this question, and allow the truth to bubble up. Allow yourself to feel how you’re really feeling. Acknowledge it and, if you choose, move forward from a place of honesty with yourself. It’s PODMAS Day 13! 🎄 Have a magical day x If you'd like to get in touch, you can reach me at hel...

I do apologise in advance for today’s audio quality! But I thought the message was worth bringing to you, even though the background noise isn’t ideal. Today’s episode is about a short practice you can do in the morning to set your day up with as much intention as possible, to go the way you want it to. I have found it makes a big difference to mine. Messy Magic episode about Magical Morning Pract...

Are you the kind of person who likes things to be “a certain way”? (You may need to read that again and invite in some honesty with yourself 😜) I am. I tend to hold a vision and I like it to come to life ‘just so’. I love traditions and rituals, and having them play out in the way I hope. This can be helpful, but it can also be unnecessarily stressful. This morning I had a moment with my son that...

This time of year is beautiful, magical, and filled with love. It’s also potentially busy, stressful and damaging to our beautiful planet. If you’re like me, you do your best to minimise the impact you have on the planet, throughout the year.  Yet some of the traditions we follow at this time can be unusually wasteful - if we’re not careful. Far from being prescriptive about “what to do and what n...

When life is happening and we’re juggling a bunch of balls, the days can feel endless (or alternatively, like they’re wizzing by before we’ve had a chance to come up for air). It’s too easy to forget that seasons come and go - and whatever phase of life you’re in, that this will pass. Today I’m inviting you to pause and see if you can embrace the season you’re in. I believe there’s magic to be fou...
