Life Tonic Podcast

In today's episode and after a mini-break from the podcast, I am joined by Francesca, the founder of Wholistic Body Life. Francesca is a Holistic Health Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, Author and Speaker, working with entrepreneurs to overcome burnout, reconnect to their true self and show up leading with power and presence.

After the immense shifts we all experienced in 2020, I am grateful I got to connect with Francesca and chat more about her belief that it is our true nature to have vibrant, radiant health and that having a strong foundation of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health is the key to success in life, business and relationships.

Hearing about her experiencing burnout as a personal trainer, I knew it would resonate with many. Ultimately, we recognised that you have to sometimes breakdown to break through and in Francesca's case, chronic stress led to her creating her integrative approach to coaching.

Join me for a conversation on why mindset, nutrition, grounding bodywork and trauma release all have a role to play in how we show up in today's fast-paced world.

Natalia is the founder of London-based adaptogens brand Natalia Botanicals, which I discovered and fell in love with a few months ago.

Natalia's philosophy fuses ancient wisdom from Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine and utilises the healing properties of herbs, roots and mushrooms for healing and rebalancing the mind-body. Her story and journey towards starting her brand is also fascinating!

Ancient medicine offered Natalia a relief from years of suffering from digestive issues, anxiety and allergies after being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. This is where adaptogens came in - a simple yet powerful way to shift how you feel. 

On the podcast, Natalia tells her story of taking back control of her body and how, in a fast-moving world, we can achieve optimal health by reconnecting to alternative healing modalities.

Jasmine is a Soul Plan Practitioner, Intuitive Healer & Self Love Coach based in London. We connected a few months back and when she began telling me about the ancient wisdom that is Soul Plan, I instantly felt compelled to learn more and bring her on so she could share her knowledge with all.

Jasmine had a spiritual awakening after experiencing burnout from a high-pressure job. Determined to help herself, and eventually others, find their life purpose, she discovered Soul Plan, an ancient system of life purpose analysis based on the birth name. 

As soon as she read my chart, I instantly felt understood, whole and my reading reaffirmed many of the beliefs I held within me about my gifts, challenges and purpose. Such is the power of this amazing system - to guide us into understanding our soul's vibration and lead us into deeper self-knowledge so we can act out of this ultimate light within us all.

In this episode; Jasmine and I discuss how Soul Plan can help overcome negative beliefs that are holding us back, how to practice radical self acceptance and love & the spiritual practices that we can all use towards better connectivity with ourselves and others in transitional times.

When I spoke to my wonderful guest, Tree Carr, I was set on opening up the conversation around two topics that have permeated our lives for over a year now - dreams and death. The latter, so often discussed in hushed tones, reduced to numbers slapped across our screens, and in my opinion, deserved its own episode for that very reason.

I hesitated on releasing this episode but as I suffered the loss of a family member earlier this week, it felt right to share it with the world just about now.

As a certified Death Doula, Tree's work involves helping people spiritually, emotionally, existentially and practically at the end of their lives by holding space for healing, peace, support and compassion during the profound and sacred time of death and dying.

Since our discussion revolved around consciousness, I feel this episode is important and necessary. Join us on this exploration of the concept of death, where our resistance and fear towards the subject stems from and why unpacking the feelings that arise around loss are essential for our healing.

We have a long history of looking to our dreams for guidance, inspiration, spiritual connection and making sense of our waking lives and yet our modern lives seem to have disconnected us from this realm that helps us connect with our consciousness...

In part I of my conversation with my guest Tree Carr, she tells us about her work as a dream guide through which she helps people utilise dreams in self-exploration, to heal emotionally and feel empowered.

We discuss how dreams can enable deeper connectivity and understanding of our dream and waking worlds through;

• mindfulness,
• reflection,
• record keeping,
• dream plants and herbs work
• lifestyle changes...

In a time when many people are navigating sleep troubles, this episode prompts us to expand our consciousness through the realms of dreams and aims to bring a little more magic to our lives.

I am so grateful you are here today and that I get to share an excerpt from my guest appearance on the Modern Soul Speaks podcast where together with co-hosts Gemma and Rachel, I got to delve into the big cosmic influences of 2021 and put the energetic shifts we are experiencing into context for this year and the next decade!

Aside from energetic shifts we can expect in the next decade, we dive into intuitive interpretations of the planets in astrology, how to work with the moon phases and discuss how we can turn challenges into catalysts for our growth by tuning into our intuition and the universe.

I preface the episode exclusively here with some exiting news on what's to come on the Life Tonic podcast in the next few months and what else I have been keeping busy with that I cannot wait to share with each and every one of you!

If the themes I feature in this episode resonated with you make sure you go and listen to the full-length episode I did with @modernsoulspeaks where there is plenty more wisdom we share!

Hello beautiful souls and welcome to this b-day special solo episode (first solo since season 2 opening), in which I will share 12 life lessons/wise truths I have learned so far. Instead of doing a compilation for the years I'm turning, I thought it'd resonate more if I made it 12 - for the 12 months of year, symbolic of this wild ride of a year we've had so far and 12 months as the personal cycle we all get to grow, expand and learn.

We will also look at the energetic shifts happening in the month of December and beyond, look back at how 12 months of aligning with your visions of the future and starting on your intentions today, can put you ahead as we turn the new leaf on 2021. Harnessing the power of consistency and desire with some wise thoughts and tools to inspire you to be the best you you can be. No more doubting yourself, let's exceed our own expectations instead!

In this episode, we explore Human Design, a system that uses our life blueprint to help us access our true purpose and answer our calling.

Conditioning, as we evolve in society, makes us conform, often in ways that do not align with the truest expression of our archetype according to Human Design. In this episode, Human Design coach Michelle Shepherd helps us retrace those steps and turn inward to recognise the best way to operate in the world as ourselves.

Michelle's gift lies in translating the wisdom of this system for all soulful explorers looking to understand who they came here to be.

She is the creator of the ‘Heart-centered Human Design Course’ which is designed for anyone looking to learn more about their type, learning to decode their chart and diving deep into their energetic blueprint through HD. 

You might find this episode carries so much knowledge in itself that you will replay it with your chart at hand just like I did!

At age 28, Rachel started going through her Quarter-Life Funk where she was no longer vibing with her current reality and feeling anxious about her future. Her soul was beginning to awaken and she didn’t want to give up on her dreams or settle for the “okay” relationship, career and lifestyle.

Astrologically, this coincided with her Saturn Return which she describes felt like being told “honey, it’s time to get your sh** together” by the team on Queer eye. Rachel certainly did get her sh*** together by breaking down her life, tossing what was no longer authentically aligned with her true self, ending her long-term relationship, moving abroad to Bangkok to begin a new life and from that point on, started to manifest abundance in all forms.

In this incredibly inspiring conversation with author, podcast host and spiritual teacher Rachel Alyce, we go deep into;

• How to deal with expectations in your 20's and 30's,
• Turning your quarter-life crisis into the best thing that's happened to you,
• Core manifestation principles - why your inner world is reflected in your outer,
• & doing the inner work of healing wounds and using the power of your subconscious mind!

We dive into stories that I know will resonate with so many of you and inspire you to reprogramming old conditioning!

Rachel is now committed to helping other women to do the same, to never settle for anything less than their worth, reclaim their power, heal, grow, and manifest their dream life.

If you have at least once before felt one of two ways ;

1. That you need liquid courage to 'survive' a date/party/social engagement.
2. That you are more fun/outgoing with your friends when you hang out...then this episode is for you!

In Part 2 of my conversation with mindset coach Amanda Kuda from @authenticallyamanda, we explore the theme of alcohol and drinking in the context of different social scenarios, how dating alcohol-free at least once is a way fool-proof way to know if someone's right for you and we discuss the 'personas' we create to fit into scenarios that often aren't for us.

Make sure to tune into Part 1 where we dive deep into what shapes our relationship with drinking and unpack the reasons why going alcohol-free may be the biggest power move in your personal growth journey!
