Dearest listeners,

Welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; the space for powerful human connection, mind~body depth and profound stories of personal transformation. 

And this week's episode is no exception...

I had the chance to sit down with Sesh Naidoo, Transformation Coach, Business Consultant & Coach Trainer with the Suzy Ashworth Infinite Receiving Certification.  A healer as well as a skilled facilitator, she parses the (seeming) divide between strategic growth and energetic transformation - a blend she carries into her unique form of mind~body~practice, "Quantum Flow". 

And as with all good relationships, we immediately felt we'd met long before these bodies had...  

Sesh's own story is one of deep evolution. Born in South Africa, within a tightly-woven community oriented to service & cohesion; coupled with her partner at the age of 17; and utterly self-made as a British teacher (now Citizen) and later, teacher's Coach.  

As she describes, despite guiding group meditation & energetic practices since age 7, it took Sesh a long time to realise that the environments she had placed herself in were far more "containing" than they were "expanding". It wasn't until she found herself in Suzy Ashworth's world - and - was willing to let go of conditioned belief, social acceptability and an attitude of "selfless service", that she was able to step into the potency of who she truly was. The rest, shall we say, is still unfolding... 

In today's episode we cover:

- How to become an energetic match to the life you seek
- Befriending the body - the journey through eating disorder and dissociation
- Somatics as a gateway to profound healing
- And why the energetic and embodiment piece are so critical to any training Coach - more perhaps than even the mind

Sesh also speaks to us of her role within the Infinite Receiving Certification - a form of tender, experienced and astute guidance that I've been personally touched by.  And for anyone curious on this powerful experience, she and the team have offered a unique link for listeners of the Podcast, to join the next wave of Infinite Receiving Coaches.

Welcome my loves to this week's Solo episode of Finding Your Way Home.

If you're a regular listener, you'll know that authenticity is a huge focus of the podcast. Arguably one of the questions I'm most regularly asked is how to cultivate a more aligned, more "congruent" relationship between our inner experience & our outward lives. We talk about "integration" in the movement world - the evolution and symbiosis of different systems within us.  Could there be integration in what we feel (all diverse aspects of it), say, do and allow to emerge outwardly...? 

So we come to the question of "Truth". 

What does it mean to cultivate honesty, with ourselves and others?  To really acknowledge the fullness and nuance of everything arising within us? To give voice to that, welcome it, even if purely with ourselves? And when / how do we then share our honesty externally? How do we know when it's useful or even ethical; when it signifies standing up and when it signifies the desire to change another? 

Thus your mini today - just a taste of the philosophies and practices I've found so consistently useful in navigating the terrain of authenticity. 

Enjoy my loves; and if you've time, I'd love it if you'd rate, review & re-share this episode with just one person you love.  Those little actions spread the magic ever-wider.

Beautiful listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home: and say hello to some Money Magic....

--> Have you ever tussled with your relationship with Money? 

Felt a sense of conflict; want vs lack, giving vs receiving, the ethicality of how we relate to earnings and rates whilst continuing to offer a role of care? Perhaps you’re someone who knows they carry a legacy of “should” that limits their capacity for true abundance - and, who has no idea how to begin to shift their relationship with materiality?

Well. You’re in for a TREAT.

In today’s episode, I invite two expert Coaches & Energetic~Somatic practitioners into the space to share their wisdom on how we can reshape our money lens, behaviour and reserves - offering profound lessons from their own lives and the clients they’ve supported in this terrain.

It’s a beautifully rich discourse, as Patrick Geary, Cristy De La Cruz and I dive into the most uncomfortable and ultimately most transformative questions in money mindset.  You are in fact gathering the refined truths of three people who have connected on this topic together for +2 years.  I hope they nourish you as much as they have us...

Hello beautiful listeners,

Welcome to this week's bonus episode of Finding Your Way Home - a solo chaser to our latest episode with Marketing Expert and spiritual searcher Corey Hiben.

Today's episode is a special one, touching into a topic that's utterly inevitably when we start to shift our goalposts - Resistance.  

Manifest as: Fear; Procrastination; Blockage; Uncertainty.  Little signs from your inner world that the moves you are making in mind, body and action feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable and therefore unsafe. 

As you know by now, the nervous system is hardwired to seek familiarity - interpreting what we've done, known, experienced previously as intrinsically safer than the risk of the new.  Therefore whenever we look to grow / change, even at the 1% differential we seek in long term development, we will encounter Resistance.  Somehow refreshing isn't it, to know that this is a primitive but deeply important inevitability.  You might even say; it's rather a good sign of things to come. 

The key is - how do we acknowledge, honour and work through the resistance to spur us forward?  How can we turn the challenge into gold? Ultimately, how can we learn to both be with the fear, and operate from a place of deep wholeness and vision? 

Well... Feast your ears.

Hello my loves, 

Welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home - your landing place for deep, immersive and heart-led conversations on the pathway to authentic living. 

Today's guest is no exception...

Corey Hiben is an extraordinary human. Marketing Expert specialising in the field of Health & Fitness, Podcaster with +3 years experience interviewing Austin's leading entrepreneurs, Business-Hub Builder, Athlete and an unabashedly deep thinker. We met during last summer's US excursion, and one-conversation-in knew that we would have to record something together. Sometimes resonance just hits you square in the face... 

Part of Corey's unique gift is his willingness to embrace & integrate challenge - taking each hurdle as an opportunity to learn more about who he is, the purpose / people he's here to serve, and what's truly meaningful in a fulfilling human life. As you'll hear, that includes the humility to ask questions, seek support and be open to seeing things differently. In our episode we discuss:

- The power of the ego and its drive for "success" at any cost

- What to do when you realise your old life no longer fits

- The deep liberation of letting go 

- Work vs intimacy

- Physicality - athletic extremes, body & food obsession

- And how to lean into your growth edge in business, romance and even your geography 

It was a beautifully rich chat, full of philosophical nuggets to carry into your own lives. It's also likely the first of several conversations we'll have - so enjoy your intro :)

Dear ones,

Welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; Season 3, and our penultimate episode for the Spring.

And I can tell you: It. Is. A. Goodie.  If you're navigating challenge or in the process of a major life shift, this is the one for you...

So:

Canada's Teri Ann Carty is an extraordinary woman - leading recipe developer, food photographer and a yoga teacher with over 20 years experience guiding people back to their bodies (and as we hear, their hearts).  She's not only an independent entrepreneur but Co-Founder of Your360 Retreats - a holistic and expertise-driven retreat collaboration with England's Natural Nourishment, and come their May experience, little old me...

Had you met Teri 15 years ago, you would have witnessed quite a different story - one that highlights the EXTRAORDINARY power of willingness, faith and sheer human grit to radically change a life. 

For the first time, to me and all of you, Teri shares her powerful journey through family addiction, her own battles with alcohol and the spiritual awakening that guided not only her recovery but her dedication to a life of embodied spirituality. 

--> We learn the tools and philosophies that got her well; the criticality of self-choosing; how to trust yourself and receive from others; and how to ground, even in the midst of celebrity and visibility.  Of particular tenderness is Teri's account of her journey through menopause, and the schism it has created between her and her own body. That particular journey is still unfolding...

I know you're going to love her. This is an episode of deep heart, soul and wisdom in how YOU re-write your own story, whatever your circumstances.

Finally - if you've appreciated the episode, we would adore it if you could rate, review and share our episode with just one person who might benefit. Particularly with stories of transformation such s Teri's, sharing both the message and the hope are critical.

An Osteopath by training, he grew to prominence as a leading figure in Polestar Pilates, specialising in functional movement, athletic performance and successfully treating complex chronic pain.

In this extended episode we gather his extensive experience on the body, teaching and the profound influence of our thoughts on how we heal. 

Highlight topics include:

- The emotional / lifestyle factors influencing chronic pain
- How we both champion clients and place the agency for healing back in their hands
- Why intense physical and emotional challenge are critical in our growth and adaptation
- And what did Juan himself learnt as his popularity grew. Here we hit a tender spot... I won't spoil it but suffice to say, visibility isn't all it's claimed to be...

A must-listen for anyone in the movement field looking to cultivate deep empowerment in their clients. And, a beautiful account of a man's personal journey through professionalism, pain, fame, and finding his way back to what really matters. I can't wait for you to hear it.

My loves, welcome.

What an episode we have for you...

A few weeks ago I got the chance to sit down with a lady you're going to want to know. Internationally-celebrated Financial Coach Amber Dugger - CEO of Amber Dugger Coaching, Founder of  Profit for Keeps®, host of Profit for Joy® TV, and global speaker on how to grow not only a thriving business, but a life of immense prosperity. 

Just how do we re-wire our approach to money?  What are the pathways to easy, self-generating £ abundance?  What does your life look like, when you empower yourself to build a future that truly facilitates everything you're here to do in the world? And what do your beliefs, body and personal experiences have to do / say about how you currently interact with this area of your life?   

Amber and I dive into this and much more in a powerful episode designed to give you clarity and confidence in beginning to approach your financial well-being.  Expect not only guidance for your business, but the story of how Amber came to this way of thinking, to entrepreneurship and to creating her signature programme after a corporate career myred in financial constriction.

Welcome beautiful listeners to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home.

Part 2 of a beautifully personal, insightful episode with Dr Brent Anderson, the visionary behind Polestar Pilates International.  If you haven't heard Part 1, make sure to go back and take a listen. You're not going to want to miss the start of the story...

In Part 1, Dr Brent and I sat down to discuss the values and ethos that drive Polestar Pilates; an international education company inspiring pilates & functional re-education in over 60 countries worldwide.  We explore the profound impact of mindset on movement - how trapped emotions, unhealed stories and self-labels can govern not only our lives but what our bodies hold and express. Brent touches on his own journey with pain - and how injury after injury forced him to radically re-envisage rest, personal power and even ageing.

Part 2 is arguably the most personal I have seen him. A man who in his own words embraces the full range of his emotion, we hear about his personal journey with faith, self-love and growing into "expertise" in his profession. Dr Brent also offers some sage advice to anyone training as a teacher, or growing into their craft - how to navigate the nerves, inexperience and imposter syndrome that can so often appear when we're on the path to expansion.

Heart and pragmatic guidance in a single episode - you're going to love it. Let us know how it lands, what resonates and what you'd love to hear more of. 

And if you've appreciated this episode, I'd adore it if you could rate & review on your favourite channel, and share this with one person you think could benefit - every single share helps us grow and I so appreciate it.

And for anyone in the US, something very special is coming this May 2024 - the chance to join Dr Brent and Franklin Method Founder Eric Franklin in an intimate 4-day retreat at Brent's home. Together they'll be combining rich movement education with the restorative, rehabilitative magic that is Franklin Method:

Welcome beautiful listeners to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home. What an episode we have for you - not 1, but 1 of 2.

Let me take you back...

Five years ago, I came across a movement school that would utterly revolutionise my understanding of the body, functionality, healing and my role as "teacher".  Polestar Pilates; an international education company founded in 1992, now championing pilates and functional movement in over 60 countries worldwide.

This week I had the joy of sitting down with its Founder and CEO, Dr Brent Anderson (PT, PhD, OCS, NCPT); physical therapist, orthopaedic certified specialist and leader in the field of Pilates. In his over 30 years of practice, Dr Brent has studied from some of the best in the field; first- and second-generation Pilates teachers including Eve Gentry, Carola Trier, Ron Fletcher, Romana Kryzanowska, Kathy Grant, Lolita San Miguel, Mary Bowen, Jean-Claude West, and Alan Herdman.

He has, of course, more strings to his bow - University lecturer, author, consultant and faith leader in his local community in North Carolina. As we hear, it took some time to realise that it was his very same ethic, values and innate human worthiness that carried into each and every role.  One hat; one humbled man working with a collective of inspiring others.

In this beautiful 2-part interview, we dive deep into the heart of the man many of you will know professionally, but not personally: his vision for the organisation he spearheads; his experiences of navigating physical pain; what collaboration and connection mean to him; and how going deep into the darkness of his inner self gave him his most profound realisations.  He also shares his strongest guidance for anyone studying movement, or navigating injury / identity shift.  If there was ever an episode that epitomised the connection between mind, body and spirit, THIS IS IT. 

I know you'll adore listening. And make sure to stay tuned for Part 2, released Monday - the story only gets richer the further we go...

And of course, let us know what you love, what you'd love to hear more of - this is for you, so please rate, review and share with anyone you'd love to hear his story. Every single contribution from you allows these speakers to reach more lives.

Should you want to experience more of Dr Brent directly....
