November 01, 2022Episode 26: The Truth About Boundaries
Boundary setting is encouraged. You probably believe that boundary setting is about valuing yourself.
But is it?
In this episode I explore the truth about boundaries.
One of the truths is you set boundaries for you, with you. You are limiting yourself from doing what you have previously done, accepting and allowing what you do not deserve. So you set boundaries to grow your ability to experience what you do deserve.
Yet boundaries are a little more complex than that, and they can be limiting and restrictive.
IN THIS EPISODE
You will explore:
What boundaries are
Why you get to a place where you require boundaries
What drives your need to set boundaries
Who the boundaries are for
Alternatives to boundary setting

June 07, 2022Episode 24: Over-Responsibility; Do You Take Responsibility For Others?
Are you over-responsible?
Do you take responsibility for adults and fulfill their responsibilities?
Do you parent adults? Because if you are over-responsible, that is what you are doing.
If your answer is yes to these questions, then you have learned to take responsibility for others. You have been conditioned to carry the weight of others’ responsibilities and to feel responsible for their emotional well-being. And as you learned this, you can unlearn it.
And why would you want to unravel and unlearn this process?
So that you do not do things at your expense. And so that you are free of worries and concerns that are not yours to worry about. As well as you can grow your ability to support the growth of the people you have been responsible for, to grow their ability to take responsibility for themselves. And you liberate yourself of burdens that are not yours to carry.
THIS EPISODE
You will:
Explore what over-responsibility is
Identify how you became conditioned to be over-responsible
Come to know the ways you can be over-responsible
Understand the impacts of over-responsibility on yourself and those you take responsibility for
Explore tips for identifying your responsibilities, so that you only fulfill those
BONUS – download your free copy of the ‘Over-Responsibility Checklist’ and explore what and who you are responsible for and the opportunities you have to unburden yourself

May 23, 2022Episode 23: The Power Of Self-Responsiblity
As you become more and more self-responsible the more powerful you become.
You own more of who you are, what you do, not do, say and not say. And you honor your commitment to yourself to own who you truly are, to do the right thing, and to do right by you.
Grow your ability to take responsibility for yourself and everything you do. And in doing so, grow your power.
Explore seven key processes that I apply in my life, that have supported me to be more aware of all aspects of myself, so that I could recognize and own who I am and the influence I have over my life, situations, and the outcomes I experience. Where I am stronger, clearer, cleaner, and free of the battle I used to have with my truth that was calling me to account for the things I could have and should have done differently if I had been more aware and made different choices.
Grow your love of being self-responsible, by valuing the benefits and the process.

You will explore:
What self-responsibility is and the power that comes from being self-responsible
The seven processes that guide you to grow your self-responsibility

May 04, 2022Episode 21: I Am Visibly Invisible
You would possibly believe that given I am an expressive and outspoken individual who has a very strong energy that this would mean I was visibly visible (in keeping with the title of this episode). However, you would be wrong. Or at least that is what I believe and more to the point experience.
I am, in my world – what I call “visibly invisible”. You know that I am there, but I am invisible to the other person in terms of them potentially connecting to me, seeing and hearing me. Rather they connect more to what is being shared with them.
There are a few individuals though that are very special to me, that have wanted to see and hear me. And to them I am visible. As you will be to the people in your life that are like them.
And even if you are not expressive like me, rather someone who is reflective, you too may experience being visibly invisible.
There are a number of reasons why you (if this is a process you go through) and I experience this.
Some of those reasons are because of our own doing. And some because of where the other person or people are at.
Yet it is an opportunity for your growth and development. For you to be visible to yourself and others.
THIS EPISODE
You will explore:
What being invisible is about
The different areas for you to work with and grow your ability to be visible, in
Some of the reasons why you (if you experience invisibility) and I are not seen, heard, and sensed
Steps you can take so that you are visible
That you and I deserve to be visible
I look forward to the adventure with you as we unravel, heal and uncover together to make a difference to who we are

February 14, 2022Episode 20: Emergent Processing; Family Soul Agreements
Family soul agreements have an almost mystical element to how they are so interwoven. Exploring whose agreement with whom contributes to and influences the soul agreements you have directly with members of your family, is fascinating in the commitments that we all make to each other.
There are so many layers of purpose and meaning to your soul agreements. They contribute to your growth and evolvement, giving you the opportunity to understand the experiences and journeys you have been on as your human self.
They are a never-ending source of wonder, exploration, discovery, and realization.
The more conscious you are of them, the more conscious you become of your human experience and all the components that contribute to your evolvement. And the more you appreciate and value the souls that joined you on this journey to have the experiences you have had with them.
THIS EPISODE
You will:
Explore how family soul agreements, have an interconnected purpose to them, that is magical
Understand how soul agreements can take years even decades after a person has passed for their unfolding and completion
Discover that there are different viewpoints from which to identify, explore and find meaning in your soul agreements
Explore how soul agreements give you the opportunity to see the family through not just your human eyes, but your soul self eyes and the truth

I look forward to the adventure with you as we unravel, heal and uncover together to make a difference to who we are.

December 16, 2021Episode 18: Emergent Processing; Consciously Traveling & Trusting The Process To Fulfill Soul Agreements
When you consciously accept the impacting variables that send you on detours, new pathways, and different directions to where you believed you were traveling, and where these experiences would traditionally trigger emotional processing, you find yourself trusting that you are being sent on a new adventure. An adventure where there are immediate benefits you can gain if you choose to see them. And magical benefits that you are not yet aware of that will have you meeting the people whom you made soul agreements with, to support each other in your evolvement.
IN THIS EPISODE

Journey with me on my recent adventure of seemingly random yet interesting events, that traditionally would have frustrated me, to discover why the journey unfolded
Explore how now is the time to be more conscious and aware of the soul agreements you have, so that you can maximize the purpose and intention of the agreements for your evolvement
Grow your appreciation of the people who have contributed to your evolvement through their soul agreement with you
Explore the different purposes and reasons for soul agreements
Come to see, hear and feel the power of consciously traveling processes of trust to fulfill your soul agreements
I look forward to the adventure with you as we unravel, heal and uncover together to make a difference to who we are
