Some episodes arrive without a plan, and yet still something calls to be shared. This is one of those times. An open reflection on what’s alive in the moment, exploring: The invisible web of connection that holds us all, even across time and distance How love, memory and resonance live within the body What it means to listen inward and know when something has reached its natural close The gentle p...

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: Choose with Love (S18E7) My 3 key reflections, as I speak to you today are: 1. Paying our kind attention to the energy behind our choices 2. The dignity of choice and the power we (re)claim when we choose to choose 3. The intersection of love and boundaries - and how bounda...

A simple thought landed this morning: If you choose to do something, do it with love.   That thought (as these things often do) led to a whole host of other thoughts. Amongst them: How the act of choosing relates to our sense of dignity, safety and belonging The difference between duty, responsibility and our conditioned ways of responding to the world How beautiful boundaries help us act without...

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: Who Are We Being in Our Doing? - Joyous Effort with Janet Ettele (S18E6) My 3 key reflections, as I speak to you today are: 1. The deepest conversations take us to - and emerge from - the Thin Place 2. Timings of how and when things happen are often curious things 3. The po...

A lost recording, now found. What wanted to be shared arrived - and I’m so glad it did. "When the student is ready,  the master appears..." Today I’m in conversation with Janet Ettele : musician, author and student of Buddhist teachings. We explore joyous effort - not striving, but the enlivening energy that arises when we understand the value of what we’re doing. We touch the thin places of life,...

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: The Tipping Point: Decision, Indecision & Letting Go (S18E5) My 3 key reflections, as I speak to you today are: 1.

Sometimes change begins with a single step - brief, decisive, and full of possibility. In this episode, I share a poem from My Darling Girl alongside reflections on surrender, decision, indecision, and the courage it can take to choose to move toward ourselves.

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: The Paradox of Help: Safety, Shame & Belonging (S18E4) Today's reflection includes: The role of self-compassion in bringing ourselves back into an emotionally regulated state The role of compassion in helping us meet someone else where they are, and not taking things pe...

Why do we sometimes refuse help, even when it might be exactly what we need? In this episode I explore what happens when we’re feeling sensitised, sensitive, activated or triggered - and why even a simple offer of support can feel like a threat. Together we look at the patterns that sit beneath our instinct to say no: the way our nervous system tries to keep us safe, how dignity and self-concept c...

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: Boredom is the Mother of Creativity (S18E3) Today's reflection includes: the brilliant penguin film Happy Feet (if you haven't seen it... it's a wonderful debate on hierarchy and social rules) thoughts on that phrase 'the devil makes work for idle hands'  the discomfort of...

In this episode I explore the often-undervalued benefits of boredom - how allowing our minds to soften and wander makes space for curiosity, creativity and unexpected connections.  I share stories from a week in London, a valuable lesson from my mum, thoughts from the tube, a surprising chat with an Uber driver, and why choosing boredom over distraction can be a simple experiment worth trying.  Th...

Welcome back to Tuesday's Thought, a bonus episode sharing reflections on the most recent episode of the Henny Flynn podcast: The Way of Love: Finding Our Response in a Troubled World (S18E2) There was a single overpowering reflection this week... the power of hope. Without hope we are hopeless, with it we are hopeFULL. This quote from David Roberts seems to say so much that could be useful... imp...

In this deeply reflective episode, I share what’s been stirring in me in response to all that is unfolding in the wider world. What does it mean to hold on to love when fear, hate, and division seem to be rising around us? How can we take meaningful action without being consumed by reaction? What began as a plan to speak about freedom transformed into another offering — of thoughts, of writing, an...

Welcome to Tuesday’s Thought – a short, reflective invitation to go a little deeper with the themes from the latest episode of the Henny Flynn podcast. In this bonus recording I share three observations, each with a reflective question that may support your own compassionate self-enquiry. When you reflect on the themes we covered in last weekend's episode: Here Was Yesterday’s There: The Habit of...

Do you ever find yourself looking forward to your next holiday… even when the last one just ended? Or counting down to lunch before your day has even begun? In this opening episode of Season 18, I explore our very human tendency to live ahead of ourselves — and how we can gently guide ourselves back to presence. I reflect on conversations with my son, moments of yearning, memories from years gone...

In this gentle bonus episode, I share a warm check-in after my August break — a space to pause, reflect, and ease back into the season ahead. I speak about what it’s been like to step away from work, from digital habits, and from the usual patterns of busyness… and what’s been surprising, helpful, or quietly confronting about that process. I talk about the Love Shrine at Shambala, revisiting my bo...

In this final episode of Season 17, I share a gentle reflection before stepping into my August break – a time I’ve been honouring for many years now as a way of resetting and softening. But this year, I’ve been particularly aware of one thing: dopamine . And more specifically, how our phones – and work, and even exercise – can give us such powerful hits that we risk missing the deeper nourishment...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This week, I’m reflecting on abundance - not as magical thinking or wishful positivity, but as a deeply embodied trust in the resources, skills and love already within us, and around us. I talk about the Finding the More Abundant Way group work I’ve been running, the tenderness of turning toward our beliefs about lack, and how Flow Journaling can help us soften in...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while – and then a conversation in my kitchen with a friend reminded me why it’s such an important theme. In this episode, I’m exploring the power of cross-skilling – noticing how the skills we use in one part of our lives can help us in another. Sometimes we forget just how capable we already are because we keep parts of...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This week, I’m sharing a podcast within a podcast... It's the launch of something I hope you’ll love, that’s been gently forming behind the scenes. A piece of quiet is a brand new private podcast offering. A weekly pause. A place to return to when life feels full, your heart feels tender, or you simply long for a few minutes of stillness and space. In this episode...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This is a full-hearted, creative, slightly giddy episode - recorded just after I finished the first piece for A Piece of Quiet , my new private, subscription-only podcast. There’s so much newness stirring right now. The LoveWords cards are out in the world, my year-long group coaching programme is quietly filling behind the scenes, and now my new weekly pause - in...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ How do you feel about oracle cards? Love them? Dislike them? Unsure about them?  For me, I see them as another tool that can help us access our own inner wisdom. In this episode, I share the story of how I reconnected with a long-lost set of Angel cards - and how that unexpected reunion became part of the change journey I’ve been on ever since. It’s an episode abo...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This episode began with me reaching for a journal from the shelf - and by chance, I picked up the very first one I ever wrote in when Flow Journaling was becoming a daily practice for me. I opened it at random… and landed on Day 21. What I found was a tender glimpse into who I was back then - and some insight into the foundations of how I live and work now.  In th...

Tap to send me your reflections ♡ This episode wasn’t planned (hmmm - that seems to be a theme!) I’d actually already recorded something else, but when I sat down to share it, I realised it simply wasn’t what I really wanted to say. Not today. So I began again.  And what came was this: a call to hold things lightly. Ourselves. The inner Work. The world.  This doesn't mean we don't take what we see...
