Feels like Magic

If you’re anything like me you might be in your head a lot right now. It’s so easy to slip into overthinking and it robs us of the present moment.

So, this week’s podcast is super simple: a five-minute practice to connect with your body. I hope this brings you back to a sense of peace and ease and you navigate life.

And if you’re craving more on the self-development front I have an incredible free training for you: Become your own permission slip.

It includes six ways to validate yourself no matter what, so you can step even more into the powerful human being you already are.

Thanks for being here and being you.

At this time of year there can be a collective energy of change.

Transformation, even.

Which is tummy-tingling exciting.

And, if there’s one there’s one thing I know for sure it’s this: lasting change comes from within. Not from all those products people are trying to sell you.

When we learn that we are worthy and deserving just as we are we start showing up differently.

On this week’s episode (20 minutes) I take you through six key things that will keep you stuck in 2025.

As you listen consider how they may be showing up for you, and the different choices you get to make this year. When we notice a default pattern - like being stuck in fear - and choose something else - like focusing on possibility - that’s the work working.

Grab a cuppa, and a notebook, and let’s dive in.

All my love,

Jo

Have you ever found yourself in a cycle of beating yourself up - for not being good enough, something you’ve done or something you didn’t do?

Or feeling guilty all the time?

Does it leave feeling that you’re a bad person, or you never get it right?

Then this podcast episode is for you.

In it I cover…

* Why we punish ourselves

* How to use Internal Family Systems as a framework for healing self-punishment

* The fundamental truth that nothing heals in judgement and how to use this to get yourself out of this loop

* Taking away binary thinking - what happened when we stop labelling things as right and wrong, good and bad and let ourselves be curious

Making Magic

The beginning of the year isn't just about what we want but who we are choosing to become. If you're ready to get crystal clear on how you want to feel and be in 2025 join me for Making Magic, an epic visioning workshop.

In it, I'll take you though the transformational process I used to call in so many beautiful things to my life last year and actively create my reality.The best thing about is it feels good 🔥

Reflective & Visioning Workshops

Beautiful one!

We made it to the final day of the year.

And I have a bonus podcast episode for you, my biggest lessons of 2024. As a recovering perfectionist this feels pretty vulnerable. And, I’m here for it.

What’s inside is a declaration of exactly where I’m at and what’s going to change next year. Because the thing about lessons is we’ll just keep learning them until we do something different.

And that change isn’t about what’s outside: the house, the job, the relationship, the business. You can have all of those things and still believe you’re not good enough.

True change is about what’s inside.

Finally believing in yourself when you haven’t for so long. Learning to stop criticising yourself and giving yourself love around things which feel tender. Choosing presence and gratitude, even when it feels challenging. Being in the muck and messiness of being a human and savouring the glimmers.

All of it is your life.

For me this kind of transformation happened through deep healing, letting myself be seen, held and supported, had coaches who held the vision for me and saw my magic when I couldn’t see it myself.

I would love to know which of the lessons resonate most with you - and what yours are.

If you’d like a little more support grab my workshop replay here, or go to these journal prompts.

Thanks for being here and being you. I hope you have the most beautiful turn of the year.

All my love,

Jo

In my last podcast episode of 2024: five reminders for this time of year I share important things we all need to remember.

I hope they spark something for you. Go gently on yourself in this season and remember that you matter - so much.

Reflective Magic

Here’s the truth: time goes fast.

Oftentimes we don’t take time to reflect on the things that shape us.

By honouring your year you honour your life. The lessons, the blessings, the curveballs; the tiny moments that made you smile. All of it belongs to you.

Reflective magic is a two-hour experience where we soak it all up.

Through guided journaling & a potent ritual we’ll release the past and recognise just how far you’ve come. Then, under a powerful moon you’ll liberate yourself from anything you’re not bringing forward.

This week’s podcast is about shame, how it lives in our darkest corners and blooms over time.

It’s a big one. I discuss:

* Why shame exists and the different ways it can manifest

* The masks we develop in order to hide our shame and the impact this can have on life and relationships

* My personal experience of shame

* How we can work with shame and integrate it.

Shame exists for all of us and the impact of it can run deep: when we clear it a magical kind of space frees up. We start doing things because we want to, rather than out of a sense of proving our worth, or protecting ourselves from being seen.

I hope you enjoy the episode and would love to know what lands.

All my love,

Jo

I’ve been hearing from so many of you that you’ve been finding things, well a lot right now.

So, this week’s episode is a meditation to soothe your heart – a gift from my heart to yours. May you return to it whenever you are feeling heavy and would like a little relief.

Remember nothing is more important than you being ok.

So this winter go easy on yourself. Ask for help when you need it. Do the essentials only. And remember to have fun. Open up to more magic, even in the tough moments. Sometimes they are simply what we have.

Hey beautiful one,

This week’s episode is a short and sweet invitation to slow down.

At this time of year we often find ourselves pushing, instead of going into the hibernation our bodies deeply crave.

And, I want to remind you - and myself - that there is always time to step back and decide to take care of ourselves.

In the episode I reference a letter I wrote in 2020 on this topic, included for you below.

This year I’ve worked hard on the art of doing nothing, but it doesn’t come naturally. I recently found I had trouble relaxing, labelling myself as lazy, instead of leaning into the recuperation I needed. This was a deep-rooted belief from childhood, but bringing it into my consciousness enabled me to reframe it. I’m not lazy, I say to myself now, I’m taking time to replenish my energy. I find it amazing how quickly we can change our narratives, when we dig a little.

I also remember feeling there simply wasn’t time to rest. In a taxi in my twenties, late for a client meeting, the driver looked at me and said ‘Take a breath love, the world will be there in another minute.’ In the grip of anxiety, I couldn’t believe him. Something struck me then - the feeling that this was a deeply disturbing way to live. It was a catalyst for leaving my career.

If you have those voices, the ones that say ‘Shouldn’t you be…’ know that you are not alone. As Brené Brown’s says, “It takes courage to say yes to rest and play in a culture where exhaustion is seen as a status symbol.” We can choose to say yes, we have courage.

I hope it helps.

My voices like to tell me I’ll fall behind if I don’t keep going, that other people will get there first. I ask: get where? I’m right here, enjoying my life. Being in my life. There’s a lot to be said for doing very little. Nothing at all, if you can manage it.

I hope this inspires you to take good care of yourself this week. Nothing matters more than you being ok.

Thanks for being here and being you.

All my love,

Jo

Episode #13 What we let in

It’s been a week of big feelings for me, where I’ve come back to the importance of making supportive choices in my day-to-day life, particularly when it comes to what I consume.

Today’s episode is all about what we let in to our space and how to implement boundaries with ourselves.

In it, I cover:

* Why you may be in habits and patterns which don’t serve you

* A practical tool to recognise what is currently present in your life

* Real-life examples of how we can shift out of unhealthy patterns with love

* A little inspiration about the impact this may have.
