Blended Family Life: The Beautiful Chaos of Our First Family Holiday

What if the life you're dreaming of is waiting on the other side of healing?

In this personal episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of our first big blended family holiday. From three teenage girls and plenty of chaos to moments of gratitude that reminded me just how far I've come, I'm sharing the reality of building a new family after heartbreak.

Just a few years ago, my wedding had been cancelled, my heart was broken, and I couldn't imagine feeling this kind of peace again. This episode isn't just about a holiday. It's about the healing that made this life possible.

I'll also share the inner work that helped me move from desperately searching for love to creating a healthy, secure relationship without losing myself.

If you're wondering whether it's possible to trust again, love again, or build a happy future after heartbreak, this episode is for you.

In this episode we cover:

• Why our first blended family holiday was such an emotional milestone.

• The reality of blending two families, including the beautiful moments and the chaos.

• How heartbreak changed the direction of my life.

• The biggest lessons I learned during my healing journey.

• Why healing your relationship with yourself changes every relationship that follows.

• The fears many single moms have about dating again.

• Why your subconscious could be keeping you stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns.

• How to begin creating the calm, secure love you truly deserve.

Are you tired of endless swiping, disappointing dates and wondering where all the good people have gone?

In this week's episode of Healing with Teeling, I sit down with Alana Nolan, founder of Single Mingle UK, one of the UK's fastest-growing singles event communities, to talk about why so many singles are stepping away from dating apps and choosing to meet people in real life instead.

Alana shares what she's learned from bringing together thousands of singles across the UK and why genuine connection often happens when we stop hiding behind a screen and start putting ourselves back into the real world.

We discuss:

• Why dating apps can leave you feeling exhausted, frustrated and disconnected

• The "someone better might be out there" mindset that's sabotaging modern dating

• Why chemistry can't always be judged from a profile picture

• The biggest mistakes singles make when trying to meet someone

• How confidence grows when you step outside your comfort zone

• Why many people are still single despite wanting a relationship

• How Singles Mingle events help people connect naturally without awkward speed dating

• The surprising friendships and communities that are formed through singles events

• Why having a shopping list of requirements may be keeping you stuck

• What dating trends Alana is seeing in 2026 and beyond

One of my favourite takeaways from this conversation is that many of the good singles are sitting at home believing there are no good singles left.

If you've been feeling disillusioned with dating, this episode is a reminder that connection still happens. Love still happens. Sometimes it starts with one brave decision to leave the house, start a conversation and put yourself in a room full of possibilities.

Single Mingle UK hosts relaxed, fun singles events for people aged 30+ across the North West and is expanding into Birmingham later this year.

What do the women who create the biggest transformations have in common?

In this episode of Healing with Teeling, I'm sharing the stories of three clients whose lives changed dramatically through coaching.

Although their circumstances were very different, they all arrived carrying the same fears, limiting beliefs and relationship patterns that were keeping them stuck.

One was a Lone Wolf who had become fiercely independent after leaving a controlling relationship.

One was a Fixer rebuilding her life after the breakdown of a seventeen-year marriage.

One was an Ice Queen who had convinced herself there were no good men left after experiencing betrayal.

Today I'm sharing their journeys from heartbreak, fear and self-protection to self-trust, healing and healthy love.

If you've ever wondered why you keep attracting emotionally unavailable relationships, struggle to trust yourself in dating or feel like love just isn't happening for you, this episode is for you.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The common traits my most successful clients share

• Why healing isn't about finding a relationship

• How limiting beliefs shape your dating experiences

• The difference between intuition and fear

• Why self-trust is the foundation of healthy love

• The coaching framework I use to help women transform their lives and relationships

• How your Love Blocking Archetype may be holding you back

Could Your Health Be Sabotaging Your Relationships?

We often assume relationship struggles are emotional.

We blame stress.

We blame dating.

We blame our past.

We blame the other person.

But what if part of the problem is happening inside your body?

In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Women's Cancer Prevention Specialist, Environmental Medicine Practitioner and Health Coach Chloe Jane to explore the surprising connection between your health, hormones, stress levels, gut health and relationships.

We discuss why so many women feel exhausted, irritable, emotional and disconnected without realising their body may be contributing to how they feel.

Inside this episode we explore:

• How gut health affects your mood, personality and relationships

• The impact of stress on your nervous system and emotional wellbeing

• Why hormonal imbalances can affect connection, communication and intimacy

• The hidden toxins many women are exposed to every day

• Why so many women dismiss their own health needs until something goes wrong

• Simple changes that can improve your wellbeing and help you show up differently in your relationships

This conversation is a powerful reminder that healthy relationships don't just start with emotional healing.

They also start with looking after the body that carries you through life.

The Art of Flirting: Why Dating Shouldn't Feel Like a Job Interview

If dating has started to feel like a second job, this episode is for you.

Somewhere between the swiping, screening and analysing, many women have forgotten that dating is supposed to be fun.

In this episode of Healing with Teeling, Rachel shares why so many high-achieving women approach dating like a board meeting, and how that mindset can kill connection, attraction and enjoyment before a relationship has even had a chance to begin.

You'll learn why flirting isn't about playing games or pretending to be someone you're not. It's about bringing curiosity, confidence and playfulness back into your dating life.

Rachel shares the mindset shifts that helped her stop treating dating like a project to manage and start enjoying the process again.

In this episode you'll learn:

• Why online dating can leave you feeling numb and disconnected

• How to stop interviewing people and start getting to know them

• Why looking for your future husband on every first date creates unnecessary pressure

• The powerful mindset shift from trying to be chosen to deciding whether you actually like them

• Why collecting stories is far more fun than collecting disappointments

• How to create attraction through curiosity instead of interrogation

• Why mystery and playfulness matter in healthy dating

• The difference between spotting red flags and recognising green flags

• How to bring flirting, fun and excitement back into dating

If you've been treating dating like a performance review, this is your reminder to put the clipboard down and start enjoying yourself again.

Because healthy love isn't just about finding the right person.

It's about becoming the woman who trusts herself, enjoys her life and stays open to connection.

In today’s episode of Healing with Teeling, Rachel is joined by Sarah Harrison for an honest and emotional conversation about ADHD, burnout, people-pleasing, relationships, and finally understanding yourself.

Sarah shares her journey of living for years feeling “too much,” constantly busy, overwhelmed, exhausted, and trying to fit into a world that never quite made sense to her until she received her ADHD diagnosis in adulthood.

Together, Rachel and Sarah explore:

• How ADHD can impact relationships, friendships, self-worth and identity
• The pressure many high-achieving women place on themselves
• Burnout, masking and emotional overwhelm
• People pleasing and overcommitting
• Rejection sensitivity and emotional triggers
• Financial chaos, impulsivity and dopamine seeking

• The importance of boundaries, self-awareness and self-acceptance
• Learning to stop abandoning yourself to fit in

This episode is a reminder that you are not “too much” you may simply need to understand yourself differently.

In this deeply honest and inspiring episode of Healing with Teeling, I sit down with Carol Whiteley, also known as The Kitchen Confidence Coach.

Carol shares her powerful story of surviving rape, domestic abuse, shame, and suicidal thoughts, and how she slowly rebuilt herself through coaching, gratitude, journalling, self-worth work, and reconnecting with herself through food and cooking.

We talk about:

• Going from suicidal to thriving

• Healing after trauma and abuse

• The impact of shame and self-hatred

• Learning to ask for help

• Gratitude and journalling as healing tools

• Rebuilding confidence after trauma

• Why cooking and connection can be so healing

• The importance of community and support

Carol also shares how she once feared the kitchen so much she would physically vomit walking into it, and how she has now turned that fear into purpose by helping others reconnect with cooking, nourishment, and confidence through her Back to Basics community.

This episode is emotional, raw, hopeful, and an important reminder that healing is possible, even after the darkest moments.

This week on Healing with Teeling, I’m talking about the two types of women I work with most and why both often struggle to find healthy, secure love.

One woman is rebuilding after heartbreak. Her relationship has ended and the future she planned feels impossible to imagine without him.

The other woman looks like she has everything together. The career, the house, the independence, the lifestyle. But behind closed doors she still longs for a relationship and someone to truly share her life with.

Although these women look very different on the surface, they often carry the same deep rooted beliefs around love, trust, safety, and relationships.

In this episode I share:

• The hidden subconscious beliefs keeping women stuck in painful relationship patterns

• Why heartbreak and hyper independence often come from the same wounds

• The difference between coaching and therapy

• What actually happens inside my 1:1 coaching programme

• How NLP and subconscious work help rewire limiting beliefs around love and relationships

• Why healing your relationship patterns changes every area of your life, not just dating

• How feminine and masculine energy affect healthy relationships

• Real client transformations and personal experiences from my own journey

If you’ve ever felt like love just doesn’t work out for you, this episode will help you understand why and what needs to change to finally create the relationship you truly want.

This episode is deeply personal.

A recent conversation with a former client reminded me that there was once a time where I said I would never live with a man again.

And I truly meant it.

After my nine year relationship ended just weeks before our wedding, I closed myself off emotionally. I convinced myself that independence was safer than vulnerability. Safer than love.

In this episode, I share the real story behind that version of me.

The heartbreak.

The betrayal.

The loneliness.

The healing journey that changed everything.

And the unexpected update…

Because today, I’m in a healthy, loving relationship and we’ve just bought a house together.

Not the dream house by the sea.

Not a perfect Pinterest renovation.

But a real home, in a real season of life, with all the chaos that comes with it.

We’re decorating every room.

Building IKEA furniture.

Knocking walls down to make a gym.

Living without WiFi.

Managing school runs in opposite directions across the Midlands.

And somehow… it feels calm.

Safe.

Fun, even.

This episode is about what becomes possible when you stop living in protection mode and start rebuilding trust within yourself.

If you’re a high achieving woman who feels stuck in unhealthy patterns in love, struggles to trust herself after heartbreak, or fears she’ll never have the relationship she truly wants, this conversation is for you.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

• Why independence can sometimes be emotional protection

• How heartbreak impacts your ability to trust yourself

• The subconscious patterns that keep women stuck in unhealthy relationships

• What emotional safety actually feels like

• How healing changes the way you experience love

• Why healthy relationships feel calm, not chaotic

This month, I’m giving away my mini course for free.

Inside, I’ll help you understand the patterns keeping you stuck in love, where they come from, and how to start changing them.
