This week I have a beautiful discussion with my cherished friend, and guest Stephanie Dickinson on how to curate a healthy, loving relationship with ourselves and our partners. Stephanie is a coach who helps women embrace their feminine energy and feel confident, valued and pursued in soulful relationships. We talk about triggers and how they can differ in relationships with different people as well as how to heal and self-soothe from those past wounds and attachments.

We’re getting into heartbreak, self check-ins, relationship check-ins, up-levelling relationships and everything in between. 

We discuss:

• How relationship endings can be powerful teachers
• The importance of being held by another person or a support group when making impactful transitions in our relationships
• How to create the relationship you want by having the right conversations (Ask for what you need!)
• Creating a separation from the stories we tell ourselves that we’re unimportant or not wanted

Our relationship with money is deeply woven within our nervous systems, which it’s why it’s so important to find a sustainable approach to heal our relationship with it. So I’m so delighted today to welcome back Catherine Hale, a Trauma Resolution coach and a mentor in my own journey with money to help us understand our patterns around money and building nervous system resilience after experiencing tender emotions like shame or the pressures of societal conditioning.

This is a vulnerable episode as I share my own money lessons and learnings, and how I found a sustainable approach through tending to my nervous system first.

We cover:

• The relationship between money and the nervous system
• Why money mindset doesn’t work by itself 
• Why working harder doesn’t mean you will earn more money
• How to find safety in our relationship with money
• How societal views on money can lead to scarcity and lack

Find yourself dating the same types of people?

This was me too! I would find myself lamenting that I kept dating emotionally unavailable people over again, and the common denominator in the pattern - me!

So these episode we go through how to stop choosing emotionally unavailable people. We cover -

• What is emotional availability
• Why are people emotionally unavailable
• Why may people choose emotionally unavailable partners
• How to change your patterns and stop choosing these types of people

I can't wait to hear how it lands with you, when I transformed this pattern in myself, my whole dating experienced unlevelled massively!

This week we’re covering men’s healing and spirituality and I am overjoyed this week to share the incredibly rich conversation I had with men’s coach Alexander Cottle. We often overlook men’s needs when everything looks perfect on the outside, but as Alexander details, even in his own personal spiritual journey, it’s still possible to hit that soul-shaking rock bottom.

After coming out from the other side, Alexander was inspired to support other men who had found themselves disconnected from their bodies, trapped in toxic relationships, lacking self-respect and had a lot of childhood and parenting wounds to heal. Tune in to hear his story and how he now changes men’s lives completely.

Here’s what we discuss:

• The first steps you can take after facing rock bottom (routines & structure are everything!)
• The importance of honouring sovereign boundaries and surrounding yourself with people who genuinely love and support you
• How society rewards the inflated shadow self: being controlling, showing manipulative behaviour to get to the top and being a workaholic and how to break free from those toxic traits

Alexander is a Men's Transformational Coach, NCS L3 qualified counsellor, Yoga Teacher, Meditation Teacher and founder of the ‘Unmasked Man’ - set up to encourage sharing, brotherhood and create a voice for men's mental health.

He is deeply passionate and dedicated to guiding men to step into their power and fulfil their potential. Leading through embodiment, Alexander has overcome many struggles on his journey, enabling him to hold space from an empathetic and relatable place. He believes that through true authenticity and vulnerability we can drop into a better relationship with ourselves and our bodies, creating a compassionate and grounded approach to self healing and growth.

As part of the Unmasked Man Team, Alexander teaches online and in person men's trainings, events and retreats throughout the UK and Europe.

As we are coming into holiday season - this episode is all about boundaries. Boundaries are the key to creating the life that you want. 

Boundaries are the place where we can love someone and love ourselves simultaneously. 

When we don't have boundaries our life and relationships can feel out of control, and we can be left feeling frustrated, under appreciated or annoyed. Boundaries are a form of self-care and how we can take our power back.

We talk about - 

• What are boundaries
• Why don’t we set boundaries
• The consequences of not having boundaries
• Signs you may need a boundary 
• How people may respond 

Let me know how you find it! Thanks for all your support - it means so much, I appreciate each and every one of you that listens and is a part of this community.

How do you process your triggers in dating? When do you notice you are triggered? Are you acting from your trigger or an empowered boundary?

We are exploring these question in this solo episode. The science of the nervous system is often missed when discussing dating, so I thought to share on how we can understand our nervous system better, and how our trauma responses can show up when we are dating.

We cover -

• Nervous system theory
• Parasympathetic ANS Trauma responses such as freeze
• Sympathetic ANS trauma responses such as flight, fight + fawn
• Discerning between your boundaries and trauma responses
• Tools to help you regulate your nervous system if you notice these responses coming up

Today my guest Sophie French reminds us of the power behind the saying “the only way out is through”. We divulge in conversation all about being boxed in by the world's conditioning and how we should instead work continuously to come back to ourselves and our hearts. If burnout has disrupted your joy lately, perhaps this episode could turn some things around for you.

Sophie is a coach for small business owners to help them remove their subconscious blocks and radiate self-love. She takes me on a journey through her transition from a life of people pleasing, having no boundaries and working to everyone else's schedules to moving across the world to try and escape her problems to finally breaking free from the conventional mould and reclaiming her self-worth. Sophie and I discuss how the world is filled to the brim with distractions that pull us away from what we really want to do every single day and how it’s up to us to keep coming back to ourselves whether it’s to self-soothe, rest or just enjoy the things we used to love as children.

We also discuss:

• How we can stop chasing because the things we want are already within us
• The power of tapping and reaching the stored emotions that are deep-rooted within our bodies
• Resourcing in gentle and doable ways to bring us back into our bodies
• How getting to the root of our emotional traumas and unhealthy patterns can heal all other aspects of our lives where we struggle, just like a tree’s roots and its branches

What would a trauma-informed world look like? What if we could make the changes we really wanted to see in the world and in ourselves without burnout, exhaustion and overexertion? Have a nourishing relationship with everyone and everything in our lives? Today my guest and one of the best trauma practitioners I know, Catherine Hale, talks to us about the importance of healing our physiology first before tackling the mind.

We touch on the differences between elemental, episodic and developmental trauma, our experiences as babies (even the things we can’t remember!) and how feeling shame when our anticipation to change falls flat can all be traced back to a poorly regulated nervous system. It’s not your fault! We also talk about the destroying sense of urgency that is so prominent in our society right now, especially when it comes to the self-development world and how we should participate in these courses with a slow gentle, spacious approach instead of a rigid bootcamp-like schedule.

We also discuss:

• Meeting our edges and honouring our individual needs and choices to make extraordinary change within ourselves
• The magic of switching to an embodied way of living rather than a cognitive one
• The trauma people in power are holding onto that’s stopping them from making real change in our world
• White fragility, reogninsing and owning the different parts we play in society
