The Maisie Hill Experience

I'm breaking down a vital component from Greg McKeown's book Essentialism : the concept of Protecting the Asset. Essentialism tries to solve the trap that so many of us are in, trying to do everything for everyone, often without much thought for ourselves. It combats being in a constant state of reaction where your day or life feels constantly hijacked by everyone else's agendas and demands, leavi...

Co-regulation is a beautiful process that appears in so many areas of our lives. It features in our personal relationships, our interactions at work, and even with complete strangers. It is an incredibly powerful tool, yet something that we can easily forget about.   Join me this week as I share some examples of co-regulation in action, the importance of it, and how to use it as a wonderful way to...

Sarah Hall joined The Flow Collective over three years ago in one of the very first intakes, and her journey since being in the membership is so incredible that I had to get her on the show to share it with you all.

Connection is a like tapestry of different threads wound together to create a profound sense of belonging and understanding. It isn't a one-size-fits-all concept, and there is no right way to connect.

When we are forced to slow down due to illness, it can be like opening a floodgate of harsh thoughts towards ourselves that can create feelings of guilt, shame, and inadequacy. Whether it's feeling like you're not doing enough, you're letting people down, or you are unworthy of giving your body the rest it needs, these thoughts aren't serving you and can actually slow down your recovery.   In this...

Most of us spend our time thinking things on default, without questioning whether they are true or useful. Thought work isn't about just jumping to unicorns and rainbows, and everything being perfect. It serves to help us explore and question our thoughts and feel all of our emotions - even the 'negative' ones. We don't have to succumb to pressure to think positively all the time, and this week, I...

I show you what to do when you make a decision that doesn't work out in the way you expected or wanted it to, why making one "bad" decision d...

Have you ever had an idea but found yourself not knowing how to deal with it? It can feel heavy and insurmountable, but the only reason it feels like that is because of how you're thinking about it. Profound transformation can be easier than you think, and it all starts with an idea.    Join me this week as I share the common mistakes I see people making when it comes to bringing an idea to life a...

What are your thoughts on anger? When was the last time you got angry, and how did you feel about it? Most of us try to avoid, resist, or sidestep anger because we believe it to be destructive, and whilst this can be true in some circumstances, anger can also be a thing of beauty when it's used appropriately, intentionally, and sparingly.   Join me this week to learn more about the different types...

Autumn is such a powerful season, and the energy shift that comes with it can inspire a shift in identity. The season marks both an end and a beginning, and the no-nonsense vibe that autumn brings provides us with an opportunity to look inward, see the raw truth available to us, and tap into and use its energy to make changes in our lives.   This week, I show you how to get curious in your life ab...

With the Autumn Equinox recently behind us here in the Northern hemisphere, we find ourselves at a powerful time of year to reflect and make decisions that align with our wellbeing.

A little while back, it hit me that we have a lot of folks inside The Flow Collective membership who are either undergoing or returning to further education in some way. This week, I'm welcoming Rachel, Maria Carmen, Madelin, and Sophie to the show to share their biggest takeaways from their experiences in academia.   Whether you are in further study or not, don't miss this episode where we share...

When was the last time you felt guilty? Whether it's not being productive enough, an untidy house, what you ate, or how you reacted to your kids, it's no surprise that we end up using guilt as another tool to beat ourselves up.   If you are ready to stop being held back by the paralysing nature of guilt, listen in. I'm showing you how guilt prevents you from taking care of yourself, common example...

As you notice the trees shedding their leaves in preparation for a new season, I want you to consider what old beliefs and narratives it is time for you to shed. You have the power to influence what happens next, so it's time to nurture those core values, beliefs, and behaviours that ground you and give you strength, and shed anything that doesn't.   Discover the alchemy of autumn and the importan...

Do you truly believe in yourself at all times in all circumstances? Relying solely on self-belief that comes from the good times is limiting, like building a sandcastle by the water's edge. It might stand tall and proud for a little while, but it is vulnerable to the next wave that comes in, and it can crumble at any time. True self-belief is built regardless of what's happening with the weather a...

What do you want to create in the next 90 days? What result or goal do you want to work on? Whatever it is that you hope to pursue, there is one key component that will lead you towards mastery and transformation, and that is going right back to basics.   This week, I share a thought-provoking reflection on the importance of returning to basics, and why doing so will help to keep your skills sharp...

When it comes to hosting a special event, it is natural to want everyone to have a great time and enjoy themselves, and for everything to go according to plan. However, many of us make it our sole responsibility to ensure that it happens, no matter what. We have internalised the belief that if someone isn't having a good time, it's our responsibility to fix it. Does this sound familiar?   Find out...

For many people, life can feel like a travelator; they progress and move forward, collecting things such as degrees and jobs, buying houses, getting married, and having kids. They form a timeline of so-called "success" that has been dictated by societal expectations and conditioning. But then a life change happens.    This week, I explain why it is easy to fall into the trap of viewing certain lif...

Most people have a very limited understanding of Autism, and at one point, that included me. But since being diagnosed, I have learned to understand myself and my behaviours a lot more. This week, I share some more of the ways Autism shows up for me in my daily experiences.    Hear how my life is set up in a way that enables me to access what I need, and some of the ways I approach things in my li...

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be Autistic? I receive so many questions about being Autistic, not just from people who are or suspect they might be Autistic, but also from people who are curious or have loved ones, colleagues, or kids who are Autistic. So this week, I'm sharing my experience.   Listen in as I share my experience of being Autistic, the control, tools, and accommodations I...

Astrology can often feel like another language. It is an immense topic with so many nuances and incorrect ways of using it, but it is always running in the background of our lives. My coach and friend Robin Langford has an incredible ability to distil all things astrology into useable, applicable formats, and I joined her this week on her podcast to discuss it.   Get full show notes and more infor...
