How do we move into deepest Being, and deepest Becoming? An integrity, wholeness, truth-seeing & telling that changes not just lives - but the cultures in which we live? Far more than personal, surface-level shifts - this form of self-actualisation is a practice of going inward; companioning and confronting what you find; and courageously choosing the person and values you wish to live by. It’s stripping away, in order to rebuild, and takes both radical bravery and radical responsibility. As today’s speaker would know…

In this episode, Anthea is joined by integrative transpersonal psychotherapist Abigail Iquo Isuo - a renowned 1:1 coach, retreat leader, facilitator and guide. Together, they share an inspiring conversation about coming to know yourself truly - in a way that irrefutably points the way forward. It’s a conversation illuminating psychological structures and safety-seeking; the nature of authenticity; deep embodiment; and what real personal transformation involves beyond the surface level work.

Abigail shares her own journey through integrative psychotherapy, along with her experience as Facilitator of the somewhat revered experience, Path of Love - an immersive and transformative 7-day retreat bringing people home to their innate capacity for connection. Abigail shares how these avenues shaped her understanding of somatic healing, emotional legacy and the body~mind connection - and how we can slowly but surely work our way back to integration.

We explore how nervous system regulation plays a central role in healing, empowered leadership, relational dynamics and working with discomfort. You’ll learn Abigail’s insights into self-leadership, sovereignty and building relational health - particularly in romantic dynamic where old patterns easily surface. It’s an episode rich in insight and guidance - centering on psychospiritual growth, emotional intelligence and learning to trust the wisdom of the body as a guide for living with purpose.

What happens when a life-altering trauma meets radical self-responsibility? Who could you become - if you used your trauma as the most powerful pivot you could ever take…?

In this deeply moving and expansive conversation, Anthea is joined by Brody Lee; global strategist, event architect and transformational leader, to explore what it really means to wake up to your life and choose impact over fear.

Brody shares his extraordinary personal story; from childhood trauma and addiction to a near-fatal overdose, and the moment that changed everything. What followed was not just healing, but a complete reclamation of purpose, agency and joy. We now meet him as an 8-figure entrepreneur working with some of the most purpose-led visionaries in the world - all from his core belief in the human capacity for growth beyond pain.

Together, Anthea and Brody dive into the deeper layers of trauma healing, fear, personal responsibility and self-belief - unpacking why so many people stay stuck in hesitation and how one clear decision can radically alter the trajectory of your life.

This episode also challenges the way we think about sales, money and service, offering a powerful reframe.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Healing trauma without shame or labels - what needs releasing to liberate your potential
• Addiction, compassion and reclaiming personal agency
• Why fear isn’t the problem
• Sales as service and money as a force for good
• Events, community and the power of collective transformation
• What it really means to build “legacy-level” impact

This conversation is for the dreamers, the self-developers, the leaders and the ones who know there’s more available to them, even if they don’t quite know how to reach it yet.

If you’ve ever felt called to a bigger life but held back by fear, doubt or old stories, this episode is an invitation to choose again.

Welcome dear ones to the latest Solo Episode of Finding Your Way Home; the Podcast dedicated to supporting your journey inward, and into a life that's profoundly conscious, connected and deeply alive.

Today, we're diving into a special topic requested by one of our listeners: how to cultivate deeper happiness as we move into the year to come. What are the measures of true personal joy, contentment and peace? And once identified in a way that feels authentically intimate to you, how do we begin to build this in our lives - emotionally and experientially? 

After a decade working with hundreds of clients, I would argue that this question lies at the heart of most others. Behind the yearning for success, a healthier body, greater income or a deeper sense of self, is a foundational desire to be "happy" in that realisation - to come to a place within yourself and your life where you can finally rest still for a moment, satisfied & satiated by all that you've created. So, in this week's episode we dive in - exploring the nuances of building your own "happiness" blueprint, and what might unconsciously stand in the way. 

So my loves; sit back and soak it in - from our heart to yours. Let us know what lands...

Dissolving Your Imposter Syndrome - Part 2

Welcome dear ones to your latest Solo Episode of Finding Your Way Home - the Podcast dedicated to supporting your journey inward, your journey through, into a life so conscious, so connected and alive that it truly enriches you and those around you. It's beautiful to have you with us. 

Today, we're diving into Part 2 of one of our most consistently requested topics - how to navigate and find our way beyond Imposter Syndrome. Tune into Part 1 to learn the psychological & emotional roots of this particular form of social anxiety and self-questioning. Our adult form of "Am I enough to belong". As you listen in, see if you can identify your own Imposter Syndrome blueprint - the narratives, physical safety / threat signals and emotional responses that arise for you specifically, when you find yourself in an environment that feels "stretchy". Spaces or relationships in which you desire to be seen, chosen, esteemed, included... 

And as you tune into Part 2, prepare to take a deeper look at what this pattern reveals - about your view of yourself, and the parts within you longing to be embraced, loved, integrated and released. Together, through practical tools and a powerful guided meditation practice, we're going to work through your specific issues and create a baseline of calm, self-worth and non-attachment to the opinions of others. They were never really the issue, as you will discover... 

So my loves; sit back, absorb, nourish - taking this sacred time for you, with you. You, in fact, were always the point.

Dissolving Your Imposter Syndrome - Part 1

Welcome my loves, to your latest Solo Episode of Finding Your Way Home - the Podcast dedicated to supporting your journey inward, your journey through, into a life so conscious, so connected and alive that it truly enriches you and those around you. It's beautiful to have you with us. 

Today, we're exploring one of the most heavily requested topics we receive: how to navigate and find our way beyond Imposter Syndrome, that wonderfully adult manifestation of the fear of being "less than", rejected or excluded. 

As a Coach who works exclusively with high-achieving, high-functioning clients - from Executives to leading Actors and Directors - I can promise you that this particular tendency doesn't discriminate. Irrespective of your level of success, qualification, network or finance; the fear of being "discovered" in you inadequacy can persist. It isn't until you truly make peace with your own mixture of light and dark that you find yourself no longer vulnerable to the perception you believe that others hold. 

And so, while you journey - sit back and soak it in... An episode dedicated to understanding and making friends with your particular form of impostering, and lighting the pathway to mental and emotional freedom. Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll guide you through a dedicated practice in coming home, and offer practical tools to dissolve anxiety in the moments it arises.

The Blueprint for Emotional Health at Christmas

It's been a moment since we last connected my loves - and as we prepare a stunning Spring Season of interviews for you, it's time for a little Solo. On a theme that fills my inbox and client calls at this time of year: how to successfully navigate Christmas. 

Somehow, we're here - at the tail end of an incredibly full year, on the cusp of deep transition for many, and in the days running up to family, socialising, rest (theoretical & practical) and reflection. It is for many an important and sometimes confronting season, where much is expected, tested, raised. So, we're diving into the challenge themes that are most pertinent; the parts of you / others that you may find activated; and how to find your way to balance, quiet & deeper self-compassion. For anyone feeling a flutter of anxiety in anticipation of the weeks to come - listen in. Let this be your blueprint on how to carve out your own needs, priorities and equilibrium in the bustle and busyness. While, lovingly and with detachment, allowing others to do the same. 

Remember to share this with a friend if you have found it supportive, re-listen as you need to, and reach out to the team here with any specific questions we can support you with. 

Sending love,

How to Master Difficult (Honest) Conversations

In this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home, we delve into the art and significance of having honest conversations… Not only honest - but skilful, generous, connective and genuinely generative for deeper, fuller relationships. We all know that communication is critical to a “good” / “healthy” love life, work life, spiritual life. And so, listen in for the inside track on both how to receive someone else’s honest feedback, and how to give it yourself. I’m sharing what I have learnt from over 10 years in self-development - and, many decades longer in some impressively nuanced dynamics… Stay tuned for your blueprint on mastering the nitty gritty terrain of conversational truth. 

In today’s Mini, you’ll discover: 

• The power of consent, for the sharer and listener
• Identifying accurately ones' intentions and level of emotional balance for having a conversation - and what happens depending on these factors
• How to receive a person’s feedback or experience with neutrality (even when personally “touched”)
• Learning the courage to speak your own truth
• And most importantly - the framework, formats and sentences to use when trying to approach the topic, the “other” and a more meaningful relationship long-term. 

And stay with us until the end, for a little insight into what’s to come in next Season’s release - and what we have cooking behind the scenes at Finding Your Way Home.

Gorgeous Creatures, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home

And it's another special feature - a bonus episode, touching one of our least embraced, and most impactful emotions - Shame. 

And I promise - by the end of this episode you will have a deeper sense of not only how and why shame burrows deep inside of you - but learn the blueprint for moving through it, working with it, ultimately coming back into right relationship with yourself. The whole of you; not just the dissected parts we believe to be acceptable...

In this mini, we cover: 

✨ The roots of shame from a developmental and conditional perspective
✨ The somatic, emotional and thought-entanglement that shame often involves: how we move from feeling it, to hearing the internalised self-label, to becoming "identified" with the shamed self
✨ How to identify your personal shame biog, and begin to soften beneath the sensation into greater awareness, compassion and agency 
✨How to bring the unloved parts back into wholeness 
✨And why this self-work far outstrips any desire to have another validate what you yourself have cast aside...

As you will hear, this is a tender and intimately important theme - one which unchecked can block people from not only authentic expression, but professional success, romantic fulfilment and creative talent. Alchemised, brought into integration, it can be the most potent recipe for self-embrace and creating the reality that you desire.  To find ease and safety in greater success and visibility, we must first be willing to see and accept the whole of who we are. This is where we begin... 

Sending love, always; let us know what lands. 

Gorgeous Creatures, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home

And it's a special feature - a bonus episode, continuing our Season 8 theme of calling, and the courage to pursue it.

Sit back, rest in, and join us to uncover how to build deeper, more expansive confidence in your abilities, your purpose and encountering the fear that could so easily hold you back. Until, as we do, we apply curiosity and compassion to what our fear may be speaking, and how to move forward irrespective of the temptation to hold back. 

In this mini, we cover: 

✨How to build core confidence in your innate quality and limitless possibility
✨Embracing and working with fear, rather than rejecting or reacting against it
✨Letting go of outdated relationships, dynamics, ways of being and acting in the world - liberating the human you know yourself to be
✨Embracing the potential that lives beyond your doubt, scarcity or trauma - what Faith, Self Trust and Curiosity will create in your inner experience and outer world…

Together, we’ll go right to the heart of what keeps most people stuck at the gateway to their deeper desire - the flight / freeze response that keeps us in convenient familiarity, over courageous ambition. Learn not only how to embrace the raw capacity you feel inside of you, but how to do so from centre, resource and regulation. 

Bonus: You’ll find a beautiful little presensing meditation nestled into the heart of the episode, to support you in real time to sit with fear - until, as always, it shifts into peaceful acquiescence, familiarity and eventually, clarity on what you choose for yourself, from wholeness. 

With love my friends; let us know what lands. 

Embracing Creative and Spiritual Callings with Chela Davison

Gorgeous listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; a little moment of deep connection, where we dive into the inextricable link between mind, body and realising your most authentic self.

In this episode, we sit down with the wonderful Chela Davison; Master Integral Coach, Writer, Producer and all-round creative force, to share her profound journey of "finding calling". As a guide to thousands on the themes of artistic recovery and spiritual alignment, she walks us through the blueprint you need to truly hear, attend to and bring into life the mission that fires you. Irrespective, perhaps of the trepidation each one of us faces in squaring up to our true purpose. 

Chela shares her transition from leading an incredibly successful coaching business, positioned at the top of her field, to letting it all go to allow a greater creative force to move through her. This willingness to surrender to intuition led to the writing and release of her empowering one-woman show - an opus on the themes of identity, societal expectations and being "A Little Bit Much". 

We explore the powerful impact of listening to one's inner voice, the importance of community and shared spaces, and how to express your spirituality in a way that feels true to you. You'll learn how to navigate the practical challenges & sacrifices that can come with following one's true path; in their turn, liberating the immense and transformative power of feeling enlivened by a life spent in authenticity, presence, curiosity and connection.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed sharing it with you.
