The Women Doing Their Thing Podcast

Freddy records an early morning update from her kitchen in Margate, overlooking the sea, sharing a wild month of health discoveries. After finally getting a comprehensive private ultrasound of her uterus, she received confirmation of adenomyosis and fibroids. However! Instead of defaulting to allopathic solutions, she dove deep into a Qi Gong healing protocol, hypnotherapy, and an embodied art pro...

In this episode, Freddy is joined by Dr. Julie Millour PhD cellular andmolecular biologist, Chinese medicine practitioner, nutritionist, and somatic guide - for a rich and honest conversation about what perimenopause really is, and what it can be. Together they explore why "don't freak out" might be the mostimportant advice nobody gives us, how perimenopause mirrors the autumn season...

In this episode, Freddy opens up about finally getting a scan that revealed a uterine fibroid, after years of doctors pushing the Mirena coil without ever doing a scan to see what was actually there. Rather than rushing into medical intervention, she shares how she's written a bespoke qigong program to work with her body from the inside out and activate her inner apothecary. Along the way she...

This week, an embarrassing admission: I used to judge people who live at their own pace. I thought they were out of touch, oblivious to the world's suffering — away with the fairies. Turns out, I was the one who was missing out. In this episode, I'm getting honest about the martyr matrix I grew up in, why I quit working for other people (spoiler: I just wanted to chew my food), and what&#3...

This week, Freddy opens up about navigating a flare-up of chronic symptoms linked to her menstrual cycle — and asks a question that's been on her mind (and her students' minds): Does feeling terrible mean you have to stop doing the things you love? (Answer in podcast) She shares 20 years of experience being dismissed and gaslit by doctors, the profound moment she came off the pill and felt...

This week's q comes from one of my peers on a recent training I did with Rebel Business School (check em out, they're truly wonderful)... A question this week: “How do I figure out how much I actually need to earn?” And what starts as a practical question…quickly becomes something much deeper. In this episode, I explore: the difference between just getting by and being truly supported what...

In this episode, I’m sharing what happened when I stopped treating money like a source of panic and started relating to it differently. I talk about money dates, intuitive dialogue, nervous system regulation, and why improving your relationship with money does not automatically make you a millionaire, but it can raise your standards, deepen your self-trust, and help you make clearer, more sovereig...

Darlings, welcome to the new segment of the show... Here's what we'll be up to: Bring me your questions, the ones about life and business - you know the ones that tie you up in knots when you try to figure them out alone? Bring me those... and I will respond. Over coffee last week a dear friend asked me a question and and it occurred to me... "Hey, loads of people would benefit from h...

This episode is part story, part transmission. I share what’s been coming up for me this week... sickness making me slow down, my resistance to pausing, and the deeper reflections it opened up. From growing up in a community-rooted life in Ireland… To navigating anorexia, recovery, and early purpose… To 15 years inside a system that quietly conditions us to believe there is never enough… This is a...

What if the voice telling you to stay small isn’t wisdom… but survival? After a morning walk along the coast—passing a towering castle and listening to Marion Woodman on addiction—I had a realization: the women living expansive, beautiful lives aren’t shadow-free. They’re willing to move with all of themselves. They don’t exile desire, ambition, or big emotion—they integrate it. In this episode, w...

Freddy returns to the Women Doing Their Thing podcast after a break, sharing renewed clarity about her brand, a book-in-progress, and a six-week series on “gateways” or “initiations” where hardships become doorways to purpose. Drawing from decades of client work and her own history of anorexia as a teenager in Ireland, she describes being told she would not recover and how refusing that identity—s...

Good morning, my loves. I’m back behind the mic, eating chocolate spread on sourdough and talking to you from the cozy chaos of my little South London studio—cats included. This is a softer, slower episode. A catch-up. A moment of reflection. A reminder that life isn’t always linear, especially when you’re self-employed, living between countries, navigating transitions, and making space (literally...

Guess what? This week, Freddy is checking in from her brand-new pad in South London! 🎉 If you’ve been following along, you’ll know she made the big move to London last October, and her biggest goal over the past few months has been saving up to rent her very own place. Well… drumroll please … she did it! Mission accomplished! 🏡✨ It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s basically a glorified shoebox—but it’s...

It's been a bumpy couple of weeks over here at Freddy HQ, and the fruits of these bumpy weeks make up the podcast today. We'll be chatting about; 1. Adenomyosis, what it is and how to manage symptoms. 2. How can we work differently so our symptoms don't get in the way of us sharing our gifts with the world. 3. How Organic Intelligence was the answer my system needed to integrate old tr...

Neurodivergence means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.

Your continued thriving, regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, is my desire. In fact it's my life's mission. This week I had the opportunity to chat to a London-based women's group who invited me to share with their young women's about how OI can help ensure we thrive even under seemingly impossible circumstances. In this episode you'll hear;How OI helped me not...

This week the podcast is all about what happens when you integrate Organic Intelligence® and psychotherapy, which has been the devoted enterprise of your host Freddy, for the past four years. If you look at it one way Organic Intelligence® and psychotherapy appear to be totally different beasts. Organic Intelligence® intentionally creates space for our emerging innate organising intelligence and p...

This week my loves we are talking about the stories our systems tell us. Ever feel like you get caught up in a nasty loop where you become your own worst enemy? Well, I get it. It happens. But we don't want that. Why? Because my love, that sh*t gets in the way of your light shining bright. And we need your light. We need all the light right now. Listen in to this week's episode and join me...
