Post Gals Gathering Talk last Monday at the Wharf Kitchen and Bar, a brilliant supportive group of women that are there from their hearts. A repeat at the end of today's show of the talk I did. Will be podcast on Heart Talk Chats, here on the station website (once I've edited it.)

Thank you for tuning in.

Music: today was mostly rock, and blues, and bit of country.

So I've been writing a bit of a talk about Living Life True to Your Heart for Angela Massey's Gal's Gathering, this Monday the 20th at the Wharf Kitchen and Bar. 6pm start. So the show is a selection of segments from my hashed and re-hashed script. (probably just end up winging it!!)

Music:

And eclectic mix! Country, blues, soul, rock

Lovely chat to Carlene Wilson - Wilson Your Wine Butler - Cult Wines - Vint (St Helliers).

All the usual chat today. The only difference being a bit of a look into the book by Elizabeth Gilbert called Big Magic. Some premises resonate some don't. More notes need to be taken when listening to these audio books, so will endeavour to do better with the next one.

Please contact Jane if anything on the show resonates with you or you would like more info. [email protected]

Music is a random mix of country, heavy metal and blues

Lovely chat to powerhouse Tesh Heart. Inspirational in her wisdom, and personal story of creating Raglan Coconut Yoghurt, Floofsters... and more. Listen in to find out. Podcast will be up on Heart Talks chat asap.

Otherwise the usual chat, today a bit about your vibrational energy, using this awareness to create your best life.

Today we recorded the pilot episode of Hearts Locked Up: My Son is in Prison. Thank you again to Aaron for taking the drivers seat, putting me in the hot-seat, and hold space in the interview process to allow my story as the Mother of an inmate to be aired.
