On Various Things

A bonus episode for anyone who feels:

• like you are playing the waiting game - waiting for something to happen before you can feel the way you want, start the new project you are dreaming of, or live the way you truly desire
• like the effort you are putting into something is not returning the results you are desiring
• that there is something more for you, something waiting for you to step into, but you can't seem to find the path or get yourself to move into action

This is an episode for anyone who feels like they are being held in place and could do with some support to initiate movement and change.

May it kick you into action.

With love,

Fiona Jane. x

[ PROCESS / PROCESS ]

A program to transform the inner identity holding you in place.

Book an intro

An episodic response to what you've shared with me about the things looping in your mind - the ongoing questions and doubts that just don't seem to have a clear answer.

The episode covers:

1. The mind getting stuck on what others think and how to shift it
2. The paradox of, 'what's next' vs. being comfortable and present where you are
3. The search for clarity on what intimacy and pleasure can look like for you

May it offer the tired mind a little respite.

With love,

Fiona Jane. x

Welcome to April.

A month to break up monotony, take some risks, and connect back into your youthful (over)confidence.

This episode touches on the spectrum of over-thinking to blind faith - from relying solely on mental insight to acting upon instinct alone - and offers some guidance to balance this energy across your vocation, health, and relationships.

May it offer you the permission to enjoy a little more spontaneity in your days.

With love, Fiona Jane. x

March places focus on the beliefs we carry around our value, our talents, and what it is we are able to receive in return for sharing them.

This episode explores some of the internal growth that may be required to build your self-belief and capacity to earn more in connection to the work you want to be sharing with the world.

May it help to drop a little of the ego protection that limits our abundance.

"[An expectation is] a dream that the future holds greater promise than the now". - Richard Rudd

This week's episode explores the ways in which we abandon our inner knowing as a means to control outcomes and meet the expectations of the ego - losing connection with ourselves in the process.

May it offer you the permission to act on your inner voice.

Welcome to a New Year of OVT.

January places our focus on our relationship shadows and the patterns of self-betrayal we find ourselves in in our intimate connections - along with an exploration of how this spills over into our creative work.

We all loop in our relationships - finding ourselves coming up against the same challenges, the same conflicts, over and over. In this episode, I offer a framework for understanding the loop and a little guidance on breaking out of it.

This episode also introduces a fresh start of sorts for OVT and an overview of what you can expect going forward :)

May it provide a new viewpoint to look at your relationship patterns and your creative work.

With love, Fiona. x

For this final episode of 2025, I tuned in to ask the question - what might be standing in the way of your goals for the upcoming year?

And this is what I got - the tendency to get stuck in trying to figure it all out on your own and a lack of openness required to bring in support.

It all comes down to trust. Many of us don't trust that we will be accepted by others when our vulnerabilities are on display. We keep a protective barrier up to avoid judgement, but in doing so we also avoid receiving support.

If you are an artist, a creative, or an entrepreneur with a vision to grow your work in a big way next year, then this episode serves as an exploration into what may need to be faced to so do.

I've explored here the factors that drive our behaviors of hyper-independence, and offer a somatic practice to support you in shifting these patterns.

May it provide you what you need to bring down your guard and attract in some support.

With love, Fiona. x
