Seeking Simplicity
Seeking Simplicity is a podcast for women navigating the seasons and cycles of life, liminal spaces and personal transformation and reinvention. Through soulful conversations, and thought-provoking insights, we explore how to release the pressure to constantly do or be more. This is your space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the power of simplicity. Because sometimes, the answers we seek come when we stop searching.

Reduce Mind Drama With Five Transformative What Ifs 09.07.2025 20:25
“Head Drama”—that relentless chatter in our minds that’s often negative, judgmental, and unhelpful.

7 Softening Practices for Greater Strength & Self Connection 04.06.2025 16:20
I loved recording this episode, because it was such an important reminder to myself that there is so much strength in softening.

Why Do We Struggle to Slow Down 25.03.2025 14:57
We say we want rest. We say we need space. But when the moment comes to actually take it—when the opportunity presents itself to slow down, to pause, to breathe—we resist.
