In Create Shift S6,ep2 I chat with Sarah Major, Clinic Director at the International College of Oriental Medicine. I first met Sarah when she presented a guest lecture on the Yoga, Ayurveda and Holistic Health course I took 2019 - 2020. I filled my pages with scribbled notes, diagrams and representations of my brain exploding with the information it was receiving. I knew I had to have Sarah come onto the podcast to share the fascinating philosophy of acupuncture, and talk about how we could all use aspects of Traditional Chinese Medicine to support our health and wellbeing. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this fascinating discussion. You can find Sarah online at saramajoracupuncture.com and if you're interested in studying acupuncture you can find out more at https://orientalmed.ac.uk/.

Thanks for listening,

Welcome to Create Shift podcast season 6 ep1, a deep dive into the immune system from a holistic perspective with guest Emma Newlyn. As I write this it's Wednesday on week two of lockdown in the UK. We find ourselves navigating entirely uncharted waters. Our lives, work and entire worlds are changing. It's challenging and scary to say the least. And yet there is - I think - some hope to be found in all of this. The systems we've known for so long are crumbling, and with that comes the chance for different and perhaps better systems to be built in their place. I hope that holistic living and the things we talk about on this podcast may play more of a role in this new world.

 Perhaps this season of the podcast can support you to gently ask questions of what kind of life you'd like to return to, and encourage you to find the ways you can best support yourself and those around you right now. In today's episode returning guest Emma Newlyn and I talk about the immune system and offer practical suggestions for ways we can all support our immunity.

Thank you so much for being here.

Recently I asked myself the question "who am I if I'm not my work?" And I realised I didn't really know the answer. My work has defined me for so long, and I hadn't even realised it until now. So this solo episode is me discussing my thoughts on this. Sharing how I've been thinking about this question of identity, and approaching it from a yogic perspective too. In a society that's very driven by success and achievements, and our first question when meeting new people is often "what do you do?" I think it's super important to loosen the grip our work has on our identity. 

I hope you enjoy the episode, it's another one recorded out on a walk and so as always you're invited to join me on a walk as you listen. If you did enjoy don't forget to share the episode with anyone else you know who may enjoy it. 

Thanks for listening as always, Ellen x

In this solo episode I discuss success, and how we need to define what a successful life is for us. Society tells us so much about what a successful life should look like, and for most of us it just isn't what we truly want. We can spend years striving for a definition of success that isn't truly ours, and feeling like a failure in the process. This isn't good for our health or happiness, and so it's time to take a pause and reflect on what a successful life looks and feels like for you.

I loved this chat with Marie Kenny, a creative coach who works to help artists and creatives manifest their highest creative potential. In a world where we often hear that creativity is a worthless, time-wasting endeavour speaking to Marie is a deep lungful of fresh air. If you feel you aren't expressing your creative self (and, spoiler, we are all creative) then I hope listening to Marie will inspire you to get expressing. So, get yourself a cup of your favourite tea or take yourself on a walk and enjoy this conversation.

Welcome back to Create Shift! Happy New Year for those of you reading and listening in real time. I hope 2020 is treating you kindly so far, or that you at least are treating yourself kindly. S5ep1 of Create Shift is a solo episode where I discuss the possibilities for a more mindful and holistic approach to New Year. So, if the whole New Year, New You vibe isn't for you perhaps this gentler, more sustainable and loving approach is.

Thanks for Listening, Ellen x

In the final episode of Create Shift season 4 I talk with yoga teacher and mind and body coach Estelle Nyabuhinja of Pop Up Yoga Milano. I met Estelle when we both took Laurel Beversdorf's Yoga with Resistance Bands Teacher Training at Hot Yoga Dublin in May 2019. In this conversation Estelle shares the same curiosity, inquisitiveness about movement practice and insightful views on what holistic living is that made me want to have her on the podcast. We discuss how our movement changes instinctively with the seasons and Estelle shares how she took the Summer off this year (in true European style) and the benefits this has had on her mind, wellbeing and teaching practice. Estelle discusses the work she does, and beautifully describes a yoga event she did a museum in Milan. This event was so much more than just yoga and to me truly embodies what holistic living is all about. 

Thank you for listening to season 4 of Create Shift, I hope you've found it inspiring, supportive and perhaps even challenging too. A brand new season is coming your way in January 2020.

To find out more about Estelle find her online at popupyoga.it on Instagram @popupyogamilano and on Facebook Popupyogamilano.
