Wise Yourself Up

What is yoga? This week I’m joined by my yoga teacher and mentor Tara Judelle, who runs a brilliant yoga school: Embodied Flow. Tune in to hear her take on what yoga is, what it means to her, and what she'd love every women understood. In this episode: How Tara went from pursuing a career in the film industry to starting a yoga school and what she learnt along the way Understanding consciousn...

Here’s my story of how I went from being super anti-drugs to having two very profound experiences with two different psychedelics: DMT and ayahuasca. This episode is a very vulnerable share because the topic of psychedelics creates a lot of debate. My intention is just to be completely honest about my experience and share what I went through. Information and education is power. I want to share to...

I haven’t always been obsessed with breathwork. I used to be the biggest skeptic. I was allergic to sitting still and couldn’t stand the idea of meditation. This episode is an insight into how I discovered breathwork and my most profound experience to date. Being exposed to these practices has changed my life for the better which is why I choose to bring them into the lives of women now. Breathwor...

This week I have Katrina McDonnell on the pod in honour of International Women’s Day. Katrina is the founder of Menstruation Matters: a non-profit organisation doing amazing work to improve access to period products, support young people through education and destigmatise your bleed. They run period empowerment workshops, distribute free products to those that need them and successfully lobbied th...

This is a juicy one. Lauren (my podcast manager) felt that my Valentine’s episode didn’t cover enough of the dirt so here it is: dating in your 30s, casual sex, dating apps, paying for the first date etc. Strap yourselves in. Only one things for certain regarding dating and navigating romantic relationships. It is NOT a one size fits all situation. In this podcast, I share my thoughts, feeling and...

Have you ever wondered who you’ll be thinking about on your deathbed? Which loves will have touched your soul to the point that they’ll always stay with you until you leave this world? “The trouble with love is that it lasts forever.” - Hayden Kayes Love isn’t always romantic. The love experienced through friendship is deeply impactful. “When you're looking for love and it seems like you migh...

I would love to have children some day. I am a single women of 36 years. Pregnancies’ over 40 are considered geriatric. So I’ve began to weigh up my options… There is SO much conflicting advice, stories, opinions, experiences when it comes to fertility. I firmly believe there’s no correct answer - only the choice that’s right for you. It’s a big decision and a difficult one to make… so I want to s...

Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse. Some viewers may find this episode distressing My first guest, Robyn Dylan, shares her phenomenal story of how breathwork helped her overcome the complex trauma she’d been carrying her whole life. Robyn’s childhood was troubled and when she did muster up the bravery to share her truth, she was silenced. She spent years in talk therapies, where she felt like she was r...

“Shame cannot survive when spoken and met with empathy” - Brene Brown Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse I’m sharing my experience with you because there’s people that never received the education, help or support to be able to speak their own truth. My hope is for each person to get the chance to speak and be seen, held and supported in their lifetime. Sometimes when we're not conscious of how mu...

Trigger Warning: Sexual Abuse Your earliest experiences stay with you. In the past people thought that what children didn’t understand, wouldn’t affect them. Now we know that that couldn’t be further from the truth. Babies are inherently SELFISH. They will always internalise their experience and make it about them. Which is why we develop core wounds in our childhood… that then show up as our defa...

Every healer I’ve met has said the same thing: self love is the key to it all. If you’re anything like I was a few years ago, you might find that well and good, but are lost when it comes to HOW to love yourself… …you attend. The highest form of love is to attend to yourself. To be, honour and listen to yourself without judgement. It’s often not easy In this episode: Pushing myself out of my comfo...

The practices that I teach have changed my life, they saved me. And they’ve saved so many others. I never in a million years thought I would be devoting my life to encouraging people to learn to breathe deeply and to do less and be still. But here we are! In my opinion, meditation is THE most beneficial skill for self love, connection and health but many of us find it very difficult to learn. The...

When people experience traumatic events, they disconnect for their body as a tool to survive. In order to heal, you must reconnect to the body when you’re ready and connect to the whole of you. Yoga is a POWERFUL tool to do so. The word yoga means union. The union of the mind, body and soul. And the research supports the power of yoga to reduce symptoms of PTSD. In this episode: My travels and ver...

“Grief is eternal because so is love” - Tara Brach Please note that this is a heavy topic; you may find the content emotionally intense. Grief is a lifelong journey. When you feel the pain of loss, you feel the closeness you shared with that person; the love you had for them. Death and grief cut deep scars in all of us when we lose the ones we love. Our capitalist society doesn’t support us in ten...

I’ve created this episode for heterosexual men and woman because I want you all to have great sex. It might be quite triggering for some. Casual sex and contraception are relatively very new to humans in the grand scheme of things. We are now able to have sex for pleasure, with the option to take measures against STIs and unwanted pregnancies. Yet the statistics show that we are not looking after...

Trigger Warning: This episode explores parental relationships. My second episode is all about owning the truth of your childhood. It’s very normal to feel guilty about acknowledging any imperfections in our parents or childhood. But our parents are imperfect humans, just like us. Your ability to look at your traumatic experiences in life, big or small, will transform your intimate relationships. Y...
