Lady Time

Kirsten is a natural born artist .... everything she does has that special touch ... from healing, to designing her own oil blends, to creating a beautiful perfume, to teaching art to teenagers, to creating her own artwork. During our conversation we meandered through all of the above, including of course what it's been like growing into midlife with all the attending changes and how she experiences life & her work from the perspective of the Soul.

Kirsten lives in Perth, Australia. You can view some of her artwork on her instagram page @ kirstenhockingarts  https://www.facebook.com/kirstenhockingarts/

For her oil blends please contact her directly on Inst or fb.

This episode I speak with Noreen O'Grady of Noga Yoga on Peri-menopause. Noreen shares how she is currently managing symptoms through diet and her yoga practice. Noreen is a yoga teacher in the west of Ireland and she teaches a range of yoga styles in classes; Hormone Harmony, Yin Yoga, Yoga therapy and Fast Flow yoga too.  You can find Noreen on her Yoga-Noga facebook page.

We get together for a catch up to let you know what we've been up to, what's it's been like interviewing men & to ponder other ideas we plan to do on Lady Time .... all with a sprinkling of everyday life in lockdown thrown in for good measure! 

Brave enough to be the first man to join us on Lady Time, Ruairc talks about midlife, how fast it came around, what drives him, how it is to be a father & keeping fit while slowing down physically. We also delve a little into his own way of dealing with emotions & the knack of compartmentalising, arguably one of the key difference's between the sexes. Enjoy!

This episode I speak with the very articulate and wise woman Mari Kennedy.  Mari shares her wisdom on Celtic traditions and more, she is a living and glowing example of how we can apply the wisdom of our foremothers and forefathers to our lives today. Her work is a synthesis of ancient and contemporary wisdom weaving strands of ancestral wisdom with neuroscience, developmental psychology and integral theory. This is Next Stage Wisdom. 

Mari is a women’s leadership coach, Celtic wisdom holder, entrepreneur, Integral Facilitator, mindfulness, yoga, and embodiment teacher. Mari's Soul’s Work is activating the wisdom and power that, she believes, resides in every woman.  She has dedicated the last 15+ years to this path, devoted to her own development, studying many wisdom traditions, coaching and mentoring women all over the world and creating a business that is founded on new female leadership.  Over those years Mari has walked the heroine’s journey from exhausted disconnected woman “living the dream” to living fully alive in the messiness and magnificence of being a woman in the 21st century.  In 2018 Mari founded Thecelticwheel.com a global online programme bringing together women with my body of work based on the Celtic calendar.

Charlotte was ahead of her time when she became an holistic dentist in the 1980s. Establishing her own practice in Sydney, Australia she tells us of   her journey to achieving that & the importance of the mouth in overall good health. Although her menopause was barely existent, she sustained a severe back injury around midlife from which she miraculously recovered using some interesting techniques. In addition, she is part of a not-for-profit group who runs an educational programme for dentists and health professionals in the area of sleep disorder & pain management. Charlotte is a font of knowledge and there is much to be learned from this conversation!
