We always take ourselves with us wherever we go. The good and easy to be with parts of us that we like and enjoy as well as the not so easy to handle parts of who we are that feel testing for us. If we are disconnected from this reality the heavy to hold parts inevitably become burdensome especially when they show up in unwanted behaviours or outbursts that lead to feelings of disappointment and regret.

The beauty of knowing that regardless of what we try and change on the outside to mask our internal weather is that if we look within ourselves and take ownership of the storms by consciously working through them we invite the kinds of climates that make us feel good whatever they may personally be.

What a wonderful part of being human; remembering our power to affect change on any of the trials that we may experience in life!

Our Convo covers:

• We shape how we feel
• Root causes
• Being conscious and intentional about working through our past
• Layers of our life experience

We are surrounded by cycles as part of our everyday lives. These cyclical rhythms are reflected within our bodies and the way that we work as well as the power of nature moving through its seasons.

Laws of human life offer us opportunities to flourish and recharge ourselves especially when we recognise where in our personal process we are and how to borrow the wisdom and deeper lessons of each phase.

In this Convo we get into:

Industrial and circadian cycles
Longevity in alignment with our cycles
Practices to support our cycles?
Living in harmony with seasons 
Rhythms of nature compounding effects
What can I do to better align with nature?
Embracing and honouring the power of rest, winter time and evolving seasons including our own 
Menstrual cycles and curation of the bleed
Collective rejection of menses
Feedback and body wisdom from understanding our period cycles
sacred rituals of honouring rest
Setting up for the day - honouring solo time
Pockets of focus during the day
Using breath as a reconnection tool
Allowing our personal themes to show how far we have come
Life is not straight lines


How easy do you find it to be tapped into cyclical living?  We’d love to hear from you :)

Have you ever been excited to take a leap forward in your life but then caught yourself questioning what you are about to do and talking yourself out of doing it because it feels like you are being too bold, or stepping into something that is not for the likes of you?  

Do you ever hear the same old limiting phrases about who you are and what you can do in your life swirling around your head? 

There are the silent judgments made up from voices of our past. We have heard these words that may have initially been coming from a protective place and the words of criticism and limitation which have become so unconscious we lose track of the fact they are not our words or thoughts. They are so ingrained we let them become the ‘voice of reason’ which keeps us from doing the things that keep us growing.

Let’s talk it through together in this WHOLE Convo to help us unpick what is going on beneath the surface and remind us there is another way to approach these moments.

Join us as we get into:

• Censoring ourselves 
• Judgement themes
• Ingrained voices running interference
• Importance of paying attention 
• A part of human experience 
• Unauthorised molding activity 
• Continuing to change the narrative 
• Getting quiet enough to hear
• Is that really me? Is that thought really mine?
• Reminding ourselves and support systems
• Being more than we can comprehend
• Interruption of our essence 
• Shortcuts to noticing 
• Compassion for the protections we create
• Compassion for origins of silent judgment and protection - while deciding our path
• Deepening relationships
• Questioning what has always been done 
• Generational context
• Challenging the road blocks
• Working with the life force through our breath

Let’s get into what it means to be a conscious co-creator in your evolution 

working with the Conspire Method in a session. Each session is blending personal development, coaching and movement in designing a life that reflects the type of person we want to show up as in this world.

During a 1:1 we work through various layers of our human experience because our lives are affected physically, emotionally, mentally, energetically and spiritually so when we are deciding to make changes and choose how we want our lives to be instead of just letting life happen to us, it works best to bring all parts of us along for the ride!

We get into:

• Working where we are and taking it into the future 
• Talk, coach, explore and decide how to move forward into a Conspire Breathwork session
• Utilising insight in the session 
• Conscious and unconscious mind working together with the breath as the catalyst 
• Determine actions and homework to take forward after the session as a way to consciously create change
• The more breath we have in our bodies the more powerfully this will be reflected in our lives
• Phases during the breathing portion 
• Insight, healing, intuition 
• Session ends with feedback 

A whole world awaits you within the depth of your breath and we’d love to hear your reflections :)

If energy is everything and everything is energy, that must include the masculine and feminine parts of who we are too?

In this A WHOLE Convo pod we look into how woo woo becomes tangible in the way we express our masculine and energy in the things that we do and the way that we do them.

Knowing the different ways that our energy plays out in our lives offers us a deeper level of insight into the ways we interact with the world around us and our expectations of it.

We talk about the ways that energy as an abstract idea becomes very real when we get to grips with:

• What masculine and feminine energy is
• Energy potential for experiential harmony 
• Understanding how energy works 
• A sign of the times - high masculine energy expressed women
• Patriarchy demonising the expression of feminine energy traits
• Measuring success in masculine traits
• Safety as a baseline for feminine energy expression
• Tangible output of energy overly expressed
• The importance of energy characteristics
• Foundation of creating the life we want to live
• Harmony in relationships
• July celebrations
• The Abu Dhabi life
• Finishing school with a bebe

What are your connections to feminine and masculine energy?  We would love to hear in the comments below 🫶

We had so much more to say about “weird” things that make so much sense so here we are with Part Two!

In this A WHOLE Convo share we get into a little into Astrology, Tarot and Numerology because we love how they have made an impact for us especially as they may not appear to make a lot of sense at first glance 😉

We touch on:

• Vedic astrology is part of ayurveda 
• Old school popular astrologers
• It’s more than your sun sign
• Perspective shifting
• Accepting our quirks
• Accidentally discovering Tarot 
• General and yet so specific
• Ways to work with tarot
• Tarot a snapshot of energy in time - an invitation not a prescription
• The energetic resonance of numbers
• Calming effect of numbers 
• There is more that connects us than separates us

We would LOVE to hear about your experiences with Astrology, Tarot and Numerology. Have you come across them? Have they helped you? Or are you curious now that you’ve heard a little more about them here?

We’d love to hear from you in the comments!

Part One

Some of the best things in life can’t always be explained or proved via experiments and scientific principles and yet they are magical and powerful for the effect they have on our lives. Trying tools that are off the beaten path can lead us to profound discoveries that bring healing, understanding and a richness and depth to life that is bigger than what may be accepted in the mainstream.

So many wonderful alternative tools enhance our lives because they are based in ancient wisdom. Please join us as we look a little deeper into 2 such tools in this week’s A WHOLE Convo where we discuss the beauty of Human Design and Reiki.

We touch on:

• Our Human Design (HD) origin stories
• Understanding and appreciating our loved ones in compassionate ways 
• HD frameworks and language for connection
• Leaning into our differences 
• The power of knowing our own energies and the world around us
• Tools for elevation and advancing who we are
• Scientific proof isn’t everything
• The experiment invitation 
• Layers of understanding in our relationships
• Ymane’s 1 line Reiki discovery
• What is Reiki?
• Meeting us where we are
• Energy as a 6th sense
• Hands on healing as part of the human condition
• Life is more than we realise
