In this episode of The Healing Space, I’m joined by the radiant and wise Hollie Azzopardi - intuitive guide, author, ceremonial cacao facilitator, and all-round good human - for a rich and expansive conversation on the emotional, energetic, and spiritual initiations that life can bring. Especially the ones that shake us to our core and call us into deeper versions of ourselves.

We dive deep into:

✨ Matrescence and how identity shifts through major life transitions

✨ The experience of energetic burnout — what it looks like and how to begin restoring your system

✨ Reconnecting with your heart and intuition when life feels overwhelming

✨ The sacred medicine of cacao and why it’s more than just a trendy drink

✨ What it means to hold yourself through grief, comparison, and not-knowing

We also speak openly about the pressure so many women feel to “do it right,” to be in control, to tick all the boxes, and how the journey of becoming a mother (in any form) is often one of deep surrender, mystery, and healing.

You'll also hear about Hollie’s role as a guest facilitator in my 8-week group program, Fertile Ground, where she’ll be holding a powerful cacao ceremony to help women reconnect with their hearts, soften their nervous systems, and ground deeply into the wisdom of their own bodies.

If you're navigating a fertility journey, in the thick of motherhood, or simply yearning to come home to yourself - don't miss this powerful conversation.
