Do you ever feel mentally cluttered—like part of your brain is always running in the background, nagging you about what’s unfinished? Those are open loops: incomplete thoughts, undone tasks, or unresolved emotions that keep pulling at your attention.

In this episode, I explain the MindBody impact of those open loops, why they make it hard to focus, and how to close them so you can feel clearer, calmer, and more present.

What you’ll learn:

Why your brain clings to unfinished business

The hidden toll open loops take on your energy and clarity

Practical steps to start closing loops today

What if you could anchor your entire life around three guiding principles that change how you think, feel, and choose—every single day? In this episode, I share the transformative impact of Cause & Effect, Perception is Projection, and Every Word, Thought & Deed.

These aren’t just great sounding concepts—they’re daily practices that create radical self-leadership and long-term change and transformation (if you use them of course)

BTW - if you've not listened to last week's podcast, I'd REALLY recommend you do so before you listen to this one.

I simply had to share these with you, after being reintroduced to them during my experience at an embodied NLP training. I want you to see, feel and knowhow these principles ground you beyond the “event high” of workshops or courses, so your transformation lasts in real life. Get ready to see yourself, your relationships, and your choices in a whole new light.

What you’ll learn:

Why living “at cause” shifts you out of blame and into power

How Perception is Projection can completely transform relationships

The secret to aligning your words, thoughts, and actions with the life you want

How to hold yourself to a new standard of self-leadership

It's easy to feel like you're "fighting life". Especially when you are in hard times.

But when we fight, we resist and "what resist, persists" right?

PLUS.. when we are putting the focus outside of ourselves, we're now not in the power to change anything.

I get it. In this episode I share part of my own journey of moving from resistance and wishing things were different, to embracing acceptance—without resignation or approval of what simply is.

I ask you to see how arguing with reality keeps us stuck in cycles of frustration, resentment, and suffering, and how liberating it can be to make peace with the moment, even when it’s hard or seems unfair.

Learning to stop resisting and start co-creating with your circumstances changes everything. And to help you get to that place, I'm exploring some of the myths that hold us back (like “accepting means giving up” or “if I fight harder, maybe I’ll change it”) and how clinging to these beliefs drains your energy, strains relationships, and blocks transformation.

I share with you some simple, powerful questions to catch yourself in the act of resisting: “What is real right now? What is the naked truth beneath the stories and emotions? What’s my next best step?” And my intention is that, together, we untangle the difference between acceptance and approval, and talk honestly about how difficult—but necessary—it is to choose the harder path if we want a life that’s truly multicolored, not just another shade of the same old routine.

This is a call to reclaim your energy, to stop suffering twice, to move forward with more clarity and power. I hope this episode inspires you to pause, reflect, and choose—with compassion for yourself—the next right thing. And don’t forget: next week, I’ll share three life-changing principles to help you put all of this into practice.

On today’s episode I invite you to journey with me into the realm of invisible work—the quiet, often unseen inner shifts that shape the most profound change in our lives. I explore why not all progress is loud, and how the subtle transformations we make behind the scenes are, in fact, some of the most powerful.

I share from my own practice as a certified High Performance coach, blending Somatics, NLP, and mindset work, and how the greatest resistance I see in my clients isn’t always about taking big action, but in valuing the invisible work that doesn’t come with a to-do list or applause. Together, we untangle the societal myth that only visible, external achievements count, and we unpack why so many of us feel like we’re not “doing enough” unless we’re exhausted and busy.

I touch on the danger of measuring our worth through output and accomplishments, and instead, begin to honour those inner shifts—the moments you chose to pause instead of react, upheld a boundary, or replaced an old thought pattern with something new. I share stories from my personal training days to illustrate how real, sustainable change always starts from within, and why becoming someone new is so much more powerful than ticking off achievements.

Throughout this episode, I encourage you to acknowledge and celebrate even the smallest acts of invisible work—to let one inner shift a day be enough, and to trust that these quiet changes are weaving a whole new tapestry for your future. We also talk about ways to stay connected to your inner wisdom and intuition, and how to find space to simply be.

If you resonate with this, I’d love for you to pause, celebrate one invisible shift you’ve made this week, and share your experience or leave a review. These are the ripples that create waves of change for all of us.

I would be so grateful if you'd leave me a review for the podcast and drop it a share. Thank you 

The words you use are SO much more than language, they create spells. Spells that determine what your life looks and feels like.

In this short and potent episode, I ask you to see what happens when you become more conscious of the impact and effect of your language - especially when it comes to the words we use with ourselves.

And it begins with this question.

Is it sacrifice or investment?

You see, the words we use don't just decide the action we take, but how we FEEL and WHO we are when we take that action. The identity we inhabit, and our ability to stick with the things that truly matter. I reflect on how the “sacrifice” mindset can paint us as martyrs or victims—draining our energy, motivation and self-trust—while an “investment” frame establishes us as empowered creators, intentionally choosing where to place our time, energy, and attention.

I take yo another layer deeper when I show you the ripple effect of language: how it shapes our emotional and energetic state, fortifies (or undermines) our long-term motivation, and transforms mundane daily decisions into acts of self-devotion and trust. Instead of seeing you routines, to-do's or and  boundaries as something that costs you, I ask you to see those daily choices as investments that pay you compound interest in every area of your life.

This is a heartfelt reminder that lasting transformation doesn’t demand struggle or grand gestures, but begins with the simplest, most powerful shift: the words you choose every single day.

If this episode sparked something for you, I'd be so grateful if you’d subscribe, leave a short review, and share this conversation with a friend or on social media. Thank you for being here as we all seek more simplicity, magic, and self-connection.

In today's episode, I open up about my own journey with nervous system dysregulation—how it showed up as a constant, underlying sense of unsafety in my body, confusion, emotional overwhelm, and feeling utterly lost.

 I share how I thought that it was a symptom of grief and the associated PTSD and how shocked I was to learn that perimenopause, which I had initially dismissed as “just hormones”—is actually a powerful neurological experience and can cause nervous symptom dysregulation. 

After a life-changing somatic training in Barcelona, I learned how our bodies hold on to unprocessed emotions, trauma, and memories, often locking them into our physical selves. But I also know that not all of us have the space or desire to drop everything and do a full-blown somatic practice when things feel hard—especially when we want to regulate ourselves quietly, without drawing attention.

So in this episode, I share five beautifully simple and discreet tools that you can use anytime, anywhere, to help soothe your nervous system:

Hold your own hand. Whether you’re lying in bed or sitting in a meeting, simply cupping your own hands together with gentle pressure can create an instant sense of safety, comfort, and self-support.

4-8 Breathing. Breathe in for four counts, out for eight. Lengthening your exhale helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system and brings your body back to calm—no one even needs to notice you’re doing it.

Body Scan. Bring quiet awareness to different parts of your body, noticing and releasing tension from your head to your toes (or vice versa). This subtle check-in can make an immediate difference in how grounded and relaxed you feel.

Anchor Object. Whether it’s a stone, a piece of jewelry, or a small desk trinket, keep something meaningful nearby or in your pocket. Touching or even just looking at your anchor object can pull you out of overwhelm and return you to the present moment, quickly and privately.

Relax your vagina. Yes, really! Our jaw and pelvic floor are intimately connected. Next time you need to relax, try consciously relaxing your pelvic floor or your jaw (or both)—it can shift your energy and even help you find your voice again, especially if repression or overwhelm have kept you quiet for too long.

Throughout this conversation, I reflect on how these tender, tiny practices can not only carry us through rough patches but reconnect us to our bodies, our truth, and a new confidence in expressing ourselves—especially in times of transition.

If this episode resonates, I’d love for you to share it and tag me on social. Please subscribe and leave a review to help other women find this space, and remember: you are not alone in this wild, wise, and ever-changing cycle of life.

In this honest episode, I invite you to explore the often-painful topic of self judgment—the kind that seeps into our skin, weighs us down, and keeps us locked out of our own innate wisdom. I share from my own journey—years spent in deep self criticism, the endless comparison, and how I finally stepped off that exhausting podium.

Together, we look at self judgment through a gentler lens. Why do we measure ourselves by standards we never consciously chose? What if those harsh internal voices aren’t even truly ours? I walk you through how cultural narratives, family dynamics, and social media have gifted us unwanted measuring sticks—ones we’re absolutely allowed to put down.

I talk about the powerful ways our brains latch onto these beliefs, constantly seeking evidence to confirm what we fear is true. I explain the insidious blame-shame-judgment cycle, how it keeps us stuck, and why it feels so hard to move forward when we’re trapped in it. But most importantly, I share a new path that doesn’t require leaping from self hatred to self love or drowning in toxic positivity—a path rooted in acceptance.

This is a gentle invitation to lay down what you no longer need to carry. Acceptance is the simple, radical act that allows us to become the curators of our own lives—building a bridge from judgment to empowered responsibility. I offer practical questions and reflections to help you choose acceptance over self punishment and begin to craft a new narrative, one grounded in wisdom, self-trust, and freedom.

If you’re ready to step into the role of captain in your own life—letting go of that critical chorus and embracing a life built on your values, your desires, and your truth—then this episode is for you.

Thank you for being here, for allowing space for transformation, and for seeking simplicity with me. If you want more support on your personal journey, feel free to reach out for coaching, or just drop me a message to connect.

Big love always, Louise 🌿

Welcome back to Seeking Simplicity! In this episode, I'm sharing a deeply transformative experience with you. I've been on a seven-day intensive training that revealed powerful truths about personal triggers and the beliefs I was holding on to that created them. And the part I'm sharing with you today is, 

I'm sharing with you that when you lean into your triggers, rather than resisting them, you can uncover hidden beliefs and unlock profound personal growth. I sharing honestly with you and recounting my own unexpected emotional reactions, how I turned that discomfort into meaningful self-inquiry, and the ripple effects of this shift in my business, relationships, and energy.

Whether you’re in a season of flux, craving a simpler way to move through life’s complexities, or ready to get curious about your own triggers, this episode offers gentle wisdom and tangible next steps.

I really want to encourages you to approach your inner discomfort as a doorway to powerful change. So grab your cuppa, settle in, and join me in embracing life's messiness, one transformative insight at a time.

“Head Drama”—that relentless chatter in our minds that’s often negative, judgmental, and unhelpful.

Today I'd like to share with you a powerful, yet simple approach to breaking the cycle of self-doubt, rumination, and second-guessing—one that doesn’t require you to be perfect, or to believe in yourself 100% before you start taking action.

I'm going to show you how you are not your thoughts, and how our brains love to serve up thousands of repetitive (and usually negative) ideas every day. Together, we tap into compassion for ourselves and unpack why we so often cling to the thoughts that weigh us down. I introduce the idea that you get to decide which thoughts take up space in your head and how changing that dynamic can transform the reality you experience.

This podcast is based on five “what if” questions you can use to disrupt negative self-talk and invite more simplicity, ease, and self-trust into your life:

What if you don’t need immediate buy-in? What if you don’t have to believe fully before you start? We talk about letting actions lead belief, and why waiting for confidence can actually keep you stuck.

What if it’s always going to be some kind of hard? Discomfort is a given—so what if you chose the hard that actually moves you forward?

What if it’s up to you to find the balance? We chat about breaking free from black-and-white thinking, and how true balance is a rhythm you create—not a fixed destination.

What if you just decided? Indecision drains us, so what might shift if you made one clear choice without waiting for perfect clarity or a risk-free path?

What if your mission was merely to build self-belief by doing something? Self-belief is built through action, not waiting—so what if you celebrated progress instead of perfection, and let small wins accumulate into real transformation?

I also open up about my experiences, struggles, and what I’ve learned from coaching incredible women inside my community. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles of quitting and starting again, doubting if you can ever change, or longing for more ease and presence in your life—these “what if” questions might be the gentle (but powerful) nudge you need right now.

You’ll hear about our ongoing 21-day sprint challenges inside the Seeking Simplicity Facebook group—a supportive space to build consistency, experiment with new habits, and rediscover your capacity for growth and self-compassion. If you’re craving a shift, you’re so welcome to join us.

If today’s episode resonated, I would truly love if you’d take a moment to leave a review on Apple Podcasts—it helps the show reach more women ready to reconnect with themselves and their own magic.

Thank you for listening, for being part of this seeking simplicity journey, and for allowing yourself the curiosity to ask: What if?

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the pace of life, like you’re just one breath away from quitting something that truly matters to you?

In this episode I offer you this gentle thought - that sometimes, simplicity is as close as your next breath.

If you're navigating tough transitions, feeling exhausted by your to-do list, or searching for space among the chaos, this conversation is your new ritual.

In this bite size episode, I teach you ways to "take a breathe" in different ways so that you can punctuate your days with them. Things like: 

Pausing and breathing through big feelings before reacting

Simple ways to create pockets of calm throughout your day

Using your breath to step into, rather than run from, discomfort and uncertainty

How to trim and punctuate your schedule for more clarity and peace

I invite you to take this podcast as your next, conscious breath. Grab yourself a mug of something calming, and let's dive in to the grounding and slow energy of this episode.
