I am Enough

How can creating a spaciousness within help you to see new opportunities and the next step to take?

Jem Freedham joins me to share his own experience of having dissatisfaction open a door to something new and lead him on a journey of coming home to himself and his heart.  Jem shares his personal journey from being a lawyer to becoming a monk, how surrendering brings courage and strength and the spaciousness we can create inside through meditation or mindful relaxation.

We also explore our connection within the world and how seeing ourselves as part of something bigger helps us feel enough, how nature and connection to our breath can support us in this and help us bridge our mind and body so we can see ourselves as whole.

Language has the power to divide us and connect us.  What happens when we take responsibility for what we say and come from a grounded place?

This week Alex Papworth, Mark Henderson, Marie Dove, Scott Plate and myself discuss how language and the way it is used influences us and impacts us.  We discuss that communication is so much more than language; it involves listening, sensing, presence and interpretation also.  Yet in society we have lost these skills.

We also explore the power of silence, how that sometimes there are no words to describe things, that words are sometimes too much and how cultural language influences us and our beliefs.

Join us for an exploration that has Alex feeling sorry for language at a point in time!

How do you view your relationship with yourself?

This week Abby Wynne shares with me how recognising it was being OK with the messy and showing up with all parts of her, rather than showing up as what she thought others wanted to see, supported her on her journey towards being enough.

We talk about the important of being present in the moment and just being, letting go of the weight of labels and descriptors and embracing all aspects of ourselves. As well as what happens when we push parts of us away! 

Abby shares that she believes the relationship with ourselves is the most important relationship we have and it is only when we can sit with ourselves we can sit and be with others.  And, how all of this supports us to become the master of our life. 

We also talk about her upcoming Life Mastery Practitioner Course, a healing modality which recognises we are multi-dimensional.

How do we anchor ourselves so we can face the storms life throws at us?
In this conversation Alex Papworth and Mark Henderson join me again this time to look at what we can learn from roots and how this has impacted each of us at times in our lives.

We cover rooting into the land; how that can support and nourish us, nourishing all aspects of ourselves, this is a journey - it isn't about reaching a certain destination, and the challenges of following our own route in a world where we can so easily lose ourselves. 

We also share how balancing things makes us more resilient, and the importance of taking our power back though anchoring and nourishing.  Finally some tools to help anchor and nourish yourself.

We are brought up to be independent yet can the power of collaboration help us create more and be more?

Rachel Sheila Kan shares her story of how letting go of having to be a hero led her to collaboration and how this is supporting her and others to create impactful organisations in the regenerative fashion space.

Rachel shares how her upbringing keeps her grounded and has contributed to making what she does reality for herself and others.  How we have to retrofit the current systems to the new systems being created AND build a bridge for others to cross over. 

How its about working with blank canvases and moving from one to the next, creating a gallery and rearranging them as things become clearer.  How fear holds so many of us back from taking that step and creating.  That seeing ourselves as a blank canvas helps overcome the fear and step forward one step at a time.

The need to be doing is something that we absorb from a young age.  How can we step into that dance of doing and being where being more nourishes us and enables us to do more?

Join me for a conversation with Alex Papworth, Mark Henderson, Marie Dove and Scott Plate where we look at how the concept of doing influenced us as children and how culturally we are expected to do more.  

We reflect on what we have to gain from stillness and how nature shows us it is a dance between doing and being. We question what we lose from constantly doing and what keeps us in that space.  We share experiences that lead us to see that it is a dance and that perspective, who we are doing it for and our state of mind can support us in that dance or take us out of it.

Do you feel sitting behind a laptop or desk impacts your thinking?  
Judith Rayner shares with me how she broke out of desk bound thinking through walking in nature and bringing nature into her business.  How it has helped her to be more creative and tap into her natural wisdom.

She also shares how bringing breath work into the mix has increased her resilience, given her other tools to change her state of being and support her clients further.  

The impact of being in nature on your mental and emotional states.
How walking frees up the mind.
How having a mix of breathing techniques can be a powerful tool box to have to hand to change your state of being.

Regular contributors Mark Henderson and Alex Papworth join me to discuss how the seed can inspire us to see our own potential and how that can help us to imagine possibilities we never imagined possible.

We draw on how the seed has a blueprint within, that it emerges when the conditions are right and has to break through an outer shell to do so.  Exploring our own experiences, how societal beliefs and systems keep us from seeing our true potential, how nature can help us to see things differently and how each of us is unique and enough as we are.

Belonging is a real societal need that can lead us to either try and fit in or just be more independent.  As discussed in this episode true belonging means connecting more deeply to ourselves; coming home to our wholeness.

Mark Henderson, Scott Plate and Marie Dove join me to discuss the topic of belonging.  We explore being part of a tribe, the need to feel safe and nurtured and taking responsibility to belong to ourselves.

We discuss the impact of presence (with ourselves and others), silence, rhythm and tuning into what is within us as well as what we can learn from nature about true connection and belonging.
