Welcome back to Kindful The Podcast!

In this episode I talk about the concepts of 'success' and 'failure' and why I believe it's important for us to redefine what these mean on our own terms.

Thank you so much for being here and being you.

In this episode, I share my perspective on the notion of impact. I talk about how I've always known that I am here to make an impact and to make a positive difference in the world, however it's not for me to try and figure out how big that impact is or could be.

Impact isn't something that can be measured. There will be people that we impact without even realising it. There will be people who we never hear from, whose lives we have touched, just by being ourselves.

I also briefly talk about the idea of purpose and how just being here, being ourselves and playing our own unique role in this life, HAS purpose.

I feel like I only touched the surface with this conversation today, but I hope you find it helpful and insightful nonetheless.

Thank you so much for being here and being you.

Welcome back to Kindful the podcast.

In this episode I open up about my divorce story and the breakdown of my first marriage. This was one of the most challenging things I've ever had to go through and one of the hardest lessons to learn; how to truly listen to my heart.

But it has shaped who I am today and I am grateful for this journey in bringing me closer to my true self.

It has taken me a long time to open up about my divorce in this way, out of respect for my ex husband, but also as a way to allow myself to fully go through and process the experience.

I also felt really judged and ostracised through this experience. Sadly, a lot of people weren't able to understand my reasons for leaving the marriage, and as a result of this, many of them have fallen away. I have learned that divorce is nothing to be ashamed of, and that trying to be someone I'm not comes at much too high a cost.

It has been lonely, isolating and scary, but it has also been the most liberating and loving decision of my life.

I am not a coward. I am a woman who has chosen the path less travelled; to be led by life, love and the beat of her own heart. I am brave.

Welcome back to Kindful the podcast.

In this episode I talk about the concept of 'Arrival Fallacy', which is "the illusion that once we make it, once we attain our goal or reach our destination, we will reach lasting happiness,” according to positive psychology expert Tal Ben-Shahar, who came up with the term.

I share some of my own personal experiences with seeking happiness, self worth and validation outside of myself, and in future outcomes and achievements. I talk about how this topic relates to many of the core principles of mindfulness, and how I'm learning instead to find joy in the journey of life.

I hope you find this conversation helpful and insightful. Thank you for being here and being you.

Welcome back to Kindful the podcast.

In this episode I share about a recent breakthrough I've had. It's been such a revelation to realise that I don't have to keep trying to be someone who I used to be. I don't have to stay in places that I've outgrown, I don't have to hold onto identities just because others expect me to. In fact, I don't have to do anything at all.

It sounds outrageous and completely rebellious, trust me, I know. But it also feels so liberating and freeing to realise that I am the only one holding myself back. I am the only one stopping myself from truly inviting in this next new chapter of my life and being open to it unfolding in the most beautiful, expansive way possible.

Of course our minds will create all kinds of limitations of what's possible for us and our lives. Our minds want certainty, they want answers. But sometimes the best things in life come when we let go of control and needing to know, and when we open ourselves up to what the Universe has planned for us.

Thanks for being here and being you.

Welcome to another episode of Kindful the Podcast!

In this episode I share about my experience recently where I've been going into the "void", the emptiness and nothingness that comes along with transitioning into a new phase and stage of life.

I hope this conversation reminds you that every season of life serves a purpose, and there is so much value to be found in each stage and phase of life, even if we can't see it while we're in it.

Letting go of who we are, who we think we are and who we were in the past can be really painful and difficult. Our minds love certainty, they love 'knowing' things and this includes the identities that we hold onto and the roles we play.

But sometimes it's necessary to let go of our attachment to these things in order to make space for something new to emerge.

I appreciate so much that I can be open and vulnerable about where I'm at in this current season of life, and I hope this helps you to feel a little less alone if you find yourself in a similar place too. Thank you so much for being here and being you.

Welcome back to another episode of Kindful the Podcast.

In this episode I share about how I've recently realised that my obsession with 'self help' has come to a place of being unhelpful.

And while there is nothing wrong with wanting to discover new ways to heal, grow and take care of ourselves, sometimes this can perpetuate the story that who we are right now is not good enough.

I hope this serves as a gentle reminder that who you are right now is not broken, you don't need fixing. You are worthy and enough as you are, and you are free to engage with the things that feel most supportive to you, wherever you may find yourself on this journey.

As always, thank you for being here and being you. I see you, I appreciate you, and I am sending you all my love.

Welcome to another episode of Kindful the Podcast.

In this episode I'm sharing a vulnerable and honest conversation with my husband Alex. I open up about what I've been going through lately, as I find myself in a period of transition and reinvention.

We talk about a number of topics, such as self doubt, imposter syndrome, loneliness and isolation, and how we can take care of ourselves during periods of change and upheaval in our lives.

We discuss the importance of being patient, trusting ourselves and the process, trusting the Universe and taking aligned action towards our greater vision.

I share my thoughts on how mindfulness can help us to bring awareness to the stories we may be telling ourselves that get in the way of us being who we truly are and sharing our gifts with the world. I also share how I'm being called to deepen my own personal practices, so that I can more fully embody and teach these things I know to be true to others.

Thank you so much to my incredible husband Alex for coming on here today to help me record this, for holding space for me and for being a steady support and loving presence in my life. I feel so grateful and I hope you enjoy today's conversation. Thank you for being here and being you.
