everyday compassion with Henny Flynn

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

This week, I’m reflecting on abundance - not as magical thinking or wishful positivity, but as a deeply embodied trust in the resources, skills and love already within us, and around us.

I talk about the Finding the More Abundant Way group work I’ve been running, the tenderness of turning toward our beliefs about lack, and how Flow Journaling can help us soften into a more spacious, compassionate mindset.

I also share a journal entry from 2019 that still feels so true today - a reminder that the wisdom we write often circles back to meet us again.

If you’ve been feeling tightly held by old beliefs or wondering how to step into the fullness of the space that's here for you, this might be a good listen. Settle in & see where the episode takes you.

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while – and then a conversation in my kitchen with a friend reminded me why it’s such an important theme.

In this episode, I’m exploring the power of cross-skilling – noticing how the skills we use in one part of our lives can help us in another. Sometimes we forget just how capable we already are because we keep parts of our lives too separate. What if we could gently bring more awareness to the strengths we already have and use them where we most need them?

Here’s what I cover:

• Why cross-skilling matters – and how we often miss the skills we already have.
• The “ant brain” – my way of describing how we can tune in deeply to what’s happening around us (without falling into groupthink).
• The risk of unconscious patterns – how to avoid applying old, unhelpful strategies, like people-pleasing, without realising.
• A real-life example of discovering hidden skills – how a client realised they were far better at admin than they believed, simply by looking in a different part of their life.
• The role of motivation and nuance – and why it’s not about doing everything everywhere, but about consciously choosing what supports us.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or believed you don’t have the right skills to face a challenge, this might open up a new way of looking at it.

This week, I’m sharing a podcast within a podcast...

It's the launch of something I hope you’ll love, that’s been gently forming behind the scenes.

A piece of quiet is a brand new private podcast offering. A weekly pause. A place to return to when life feels full, your heart feels tender, or you simply long for a few minutes of stillness and space.

In this episode, I’ll explain:

• What A piece of quiet is - and how it might support you
• Why I created it - and the practices it’s built on
• How to access it - including a special founding member invitation
   …and I’ll share the very first full episode with you.

Each weekly episode includes:

• A calming audio reflection to gently settle your nervous system
• A carefully crafted Flow Journaling prompt to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom
• A quiet rhythm to anchor your week — with nothing to achieve, no pressure to ‘keep up’

This is a practice of compassion, not perfection. A moment to come home to yourself.

A Piece of Quiet is a private subscription podcast, created especially for this community.

Founding members & listeners to the Henny Flynn podcast receive 20% off their first year.

With love,
Henny

This is a full-hearted, creative, slightly giddy episode - recorded just after I finished the first piece for A Piece of Quiet, my new private, subscription-only podcast.

There’s so much newness stirring right now. The LoveWords cards are out in the world, my year-long group coaching programme is quietly filling behind the scenes, and now my new weekly pause - in audio form - for reflection, stillness and self-connection, is almost ready to enter the world.

In this episode, I reflect on the power of creativity - why it matters so much (especially now), and how it doesn’t need to be complicated or grand. I share a poem I wrote recently, which many of you responded to on Instagram, and talk about the joy of creating something we genuinely love.

This one’s a celebration of everything that's softly blooming.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The three offerings I’ve been birthing - and why they matter so much to me
• The story behind LoveWords, my simple oracle card set for intuitive reflection
• Why creativity is a core human need - not just a nice-to-have
• A new poem (that I’ve fallen a bit in love with) and the joy of sharing it
• The quiet power of A Piece of Quiet - and how to be part of it

How do you feel about oracle cards?

Love them? Dislike them? Unsure about them? 

For me, I see them as another tool that can help us access our own inner wisdom.

In this episode, I share the story of how I reconnected with a long-lost set of Angel cards - and how that unexpected reunion became part of the change journey I’ve been on ever since. It’s an episode about openness, intuition, and how we can work with simple tools in ways that deepen self-awareness and connection.

I talk about that first life-changing retreat, how oracle cards became part of my daily practice, and why I’ve created my own set — LoveWords — which are now finally ready to share with you. Hurray!

If you’re curious about how to use these modern oracle cards in a grounded, playful, personal way - maybe to inspire your Flow Journaling or as part of a mindfulness practice - this one’s for you.

In this episode I explore:

• The moment I chose to lay down emotional baggage - and what changed when I did
• How oracle cards became part of my Flow Journaling practice
• Why resistance to spiritual tools often hides something worth exploring
• How LoveWords from Henny were born - and the beautiful ways people are using them
• A gentle invitation to meet your own intuition, in your own way

This episode began with me reaching for a journal from the shelf - and by chance, I picked up the very first one I ever wrote in when Flow Journaling was becoming a daily practice for me.

I opened it at random… and landed on Day 21.

What I found was a tender glimpse into who I was back then - and some insight into the foundations of how I live and work now. 

In this episode, I share that early entry, and reflect on what it means to revisit our past selves with gentleness. I talk about meditation, the deep longing for safety (for ourselves and others), and the quiet power of seeing how far we’ve come.

This is an episode about the value of reflection - not to get things right, but to be with whatever’s true in the moment.

Key reflections in this episode:

• How journaling and meditation support each other as practices of presence and self-compassion
• Why inner work isn’t linear - and how spirals of change are part of the journey
• The deep desire so many of us share for safety - and the ache that can come with witnessing suffering
• The quiet strength of giving ourselves space between stimulus and response
• How powerful it can be to revisit our past selves with love, curiosity and care

Viktor Frankl: "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom."

This episode wasn’t planned (hmmm - that seems to be a theme!)

I’d actually already recorded something else, but when I sat down to share it, I realised it simply wasn’t what I really wanted to say. Not today.

So I began again. 

And what came was this: a call to hold things lightly.

Ourselves. The inner Work. The world. 

This doesn't mean we don't take what we see seriously, or that we condone or ignore the challenging things unfolding around us. It simply means we hold it all with a lighter, loving touch.

If you’ve been feeling called to do the inner work, but there's fear that it might be all too much — maybe this is the call you’ve been waiting for. We can do this work, with love.

If you're ready to step toward your Self in this lighter way, please do connect. I would love to support you, as you navigate whatever inner Work is calling you.

This week, I’m sharing thoughts on the doubt that can come (in waves!) when we're creating something new.

I talk about the (very human) conflicting thoughts that show up alongside our excitement and joy when we’re bringing something into the world – whether it’s a project, a course, a work of art, or simply a new way of living.

I speak openly about fear, self-trust, and the need for spaces that feel safe enough to hold all of it – not just the polished parts.

And though I don’t name it outright (yet), I also begin to share more about something new that's taking shape behind the scenes – something rooted in reflection, connection and journaling. If you’re curious, I'd love to share more with you when the time is right.

You’ll also hear:

• A reflection from the Hopes & Dreams course
• Why we sometimes need to revisit our past successes
• The surprising value of letting old corporate strategies evolve into more soulful ones
• The outcome from a journaling prompt that feels a little like a personal manifesto

If we're not yet connected through the mailing list, and you're curious to know more about what's unfolding, please do sign up. I'd love to welcome you there.

In this episode, I explore the often uncomfortable but essential experience of uncertainty. 

From the micro moments of personal indecision to the broader cultural and political implications of clinging to certainty, I reflect on why uncertainty is not something to be fixed but something to be honoured. Through stories, metaphors, and personal insights, I share how uncertainty can become a space for learning, creativity, and ultimately growth. This is an invitation to step into the grey, to trust your intuition, and to allow yourself to not know – for now.

In this episode I’m joined by the ever-wonderful Adam Lind - coach, author, speaker and narrowboat dweller - for a rich, honest conversation about vulnerability, creativity and the winding path toward a life of internal freedom.

Adam shares the profound challenge of losing his father when he was still just a teenager himself - and how that has informed his life choices: to create a life less ordinary.

We talk about writing, as a deeply personal process, the pull between being of service and staying in integrity, and what happens when we start telling the truth about how we really are (even in Tesco). We reflect on loss and grief, success and self-expression, certainty and the freedom to not know - and the deeply human longing for safety in an uncertain world.

Adam's new book, Floating Home: a life less ordinary, is an invitation to seek freedom, joy, and connection, wherever you call home. And I'm honoured to say that part of it was written here, on Adam's solo retreat at Bach Brook.

As always, this is a conversation that moves gently through different spaces - from laughter to tears, lightness to depth - and lands, ultimately, in love.
