    • Does technology takes us away from what is important
    • Ethics around technology
    • Conscious creation 
    • Jumping timelines
    • The realities of presence
    • Nervous system impact on attention
    • Evolving as an activity in presence 
    • Some much we don’t know
    • Present actions shaping our future
    • Cryptocurrency

  • Let's Conspire 🌬️ Behind the Curtain at a Conspire Breath-Work 1:1 Session

    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 :)

  • Masculine and Feminine Energy

    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

  • Human Design and Other Weird Things That Make SO Much Sense

    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

  • Breathe Like Your Life Depends on It...

    Because it does!  AND Ella is OBSESSED!


    We take a look at why our breath is so deeply fundamental to living from a biological and human perspective in the A WHOLE Convo episode.


    Although we all breathe, the way we do it can change how life feels for us on many levels. Join us as we explore why that is with an invitation for you to tap into what you notice with your breathing as you go about your day to day life.


    Consciously switching what we do when we breathe has the potential to optimise the mundane to the sublime as far as being human is concerned.


    In this A WHOLE Convo we get into:



    • Breathing does not equal breathing well
    • Conscious breathing and breath work (Ella’s distinction)
    • Conspire meaning
    • The language of breath
    • Biological quality of breathing
    • Ancient roots
    • Spirit of breath
    • Companion for life
    • The mind body connection
    • Unconscious mind and breath
    • Awareness of breath
    • Presence through breath
    • As simple as slowing down
    • Acceptance as a path to optimising



    With one simple breath, everything can be different!

  • Ancient Medicine: The Root of all Healing?

    This is a juicy one! A WHOLE Convo dedicated to the power of nature, Ayurveda and our June celebration!

    Modern living has seen us lose touch with nature, our ancient roots of living with the land  even though having a healthy dose of the good stuff is intrinsic in not only helping us find and maintain harmony, but also as an essential key to healing and wellbeing.

    What is your relationship to nature?  How much space do you hold sacred in your life to stay topped up with the medicine of the natural world?

    Let’s look into this a little more in this Convo where we get into:

    Tribal roots
    The root of healing
    Ancient vitality 
    Dis-ease from disconnection to the land
    Natural vs stressful ways to exist
    Including more nature
    Respectful harmony with modern living
    Nature’s healing power
    Conscious responsibility 
    Ritual and ceremony
    Universal heritage 
    Ayurveda elemental medicine and individual harmony
    Consciousness and personal power
    Magnifying the calm of nature

    We would LOVE for you to join us in taking a moment to celebrate yourself for June.  Think back to something epic that you have done in your past and acknowledge how wonderful it is to have that memory of you.

    We’d love to know what you thought of this month to celebrate you. Tell us below so we can celebrate you too🤩

  • Toxic Peeps and Their Impact on Our Health

    In this instalment of A WHOLE Convo we consider how relationships that are not right for us have a deeper impact on our wellbeing.


    Behaviours that we may have become accustomed to may also be leaving an adverse imprint on who we are. 


    This Convo is a reminder that we have the power to honour the feeling that ‘something is off’ because if it feels that way it has the ability to show up detrimentally on deeper levels of our experience.


    Come on this exploration as we discuss:


    • Disempowering people in our lives
    • Finding healing from toxicity 
    • The evolution of unacceptable behaviour 
    • Toxic traits vs toxic people - separating the act from the person
    • What is a toxic trait
    • When to take stock
    • Living by our values
    • Questioning and awareness
    • Honouring our inner responsibility 
    • The ‘Ripple Effect’ of miracles
    • Our part in the ‘toxic dynamic’
    • Every circumstance is unique 



    We invite you to consider the following questions to help you to look a little deeper into those dynamics in your life that don’t feel quite right to you:


    • Does this make me feel empowered?
    • Does this make me feel good?
    • Do I want this?

  • Wellbeing. The Most Important Legacy of All?

    Welcome to this instalment in the A WHOLE Convo Podcast series where we open a conversation on why our wellbeing is significant in the creation of a life well lived.


    In a modern age where the conversation about wellbeing is being had more openly we are becoming more aware of the value of taking care of our internal experience as human beings. Talk of mental health for example has a wider platform than it ever has in the past, and yet we may not give the level of attention to the broader impact of consistently modelling commitment to wellbeing.


    Inspiration and a desire to tend to our wellbeing often comes when we reach crisis point, and once crisis is averted it is tempting to let our attention to wellbeing fall to the wayside. The health of our internal world will however show up in the way we navigate life and our communication with others.


    Join us in this WHOLE Convo (- it is jam packed!) as we consider:


    • Cleaning up generational wellbeing
    • The feedback conscious wellbeing creates
    • Unhealed parts of us
    • Children as the very best teachers
    • Wellbeing as the responsibility of our lifetime
    • Choices in addressing or overlooking personal shortcomings
    • The framework parents create for wellbeing 
    • Our responsibility to do ‘the work’
    • Cultural influence on our wellbeing legacy
    • Taking on individual responsibility for our wellbeing legacy
    • Inner responsibility for elevating our wellbeing for better vitality and DNA patterning 
    • The luxury of wellness
    • Blueprints of belief
    • Deserving wellbeing
    • Good girl programming 
    • Imprints and expectations 
    • A world based on wellbeing first
