I get asked questions like this all the time:

"What do you do that allows you travel like that?"

 "How come you travel so much?"

 "How can you afford all your traveling?"

I’ve always had difficulties answering these sorts of questions, because I don't have that one-sentence magical answer people expect to hear.

I am just a girl who dared to dream. 

If you have a passport (or the ability to apply for one) and a skill (which could be looking after kids, cleaning, or speaking your native language) you're most likely qualified to do what I have been doing for the past 14 years: i.e. travel and live a lifestyle of freedom and joy.

In this episode, apart from sharing examples of the things I did to be able to travel with virtually no money to spend, I also talk about how I ended up being a nomad because of covid, whether I get tired of traveling, and some of the difficulties and emotions that are inevitable if you spend over a decade being nomadic.

In this conversation about stepping out of fear and choosing freedom instead, I am being interviewed by my friend and fellow intuitive coach Mark Dallimore. 

Mark wanted me to talk about my freedom lifestyle of travels and pursuing my passions to his listeners, and we ended up dropping some interesting insights about the nature of fear, indecision, and the patterns that keep us playing small and not saying yes to our dreams.  

If you too are curious about my lifestyle, listen in and find out not just how I am about to travel so much, but also how you too can dissolve fear, find more stability in life, get better at making decisions, and live from a place of more ease and joy!

This episode is one of my favorite conversations with my friend and fellow intuitive trauma-informed coach & certified parenting coach Kirsi-Marja Hardy.

It is a rich exploration of a hugely important topic: the practice of "holding space" for others.

Kirsi and I discuss how we show up for our friends or coaching clients who are going through challenging emotional experiences, and share how we personally wish to have space held for us.

We address various components: the quality of the energy that someone brings through when holding space; the quality of the container that they can set up for our experience; what we’d like or dislike the supporting person to say or do while holding space for us, etc.

Why is this so important?

If you work with people, especially as a facilitator, knowing how to hold space for people in a safe and attuned way is much more impactful than the methods and skills that you are using to help them. This applies to coaches, healers, therapist, massage therapists, and even teachers.

It applies to our personal relationships, too: if you aspire to be a better parent, partner or friend, learning how to support your loved ones in difficult moments is perhaps the best thing you can do.

In this conversation with Mark Dallimore, we discuss how we can heal our emotional wounds and trauma stored deep in our energetic and physical bodies.

The thing is, if the focus is healing our emotional wounds, the above things don't feel safe to someone going through a difficult experience and needing support. So, they are not helpful.

Listen to find out how you can support people instead!

In this episode, I explain what it means to live your life from a grounded state of feeling safe - and taking action from that place, instead of constantly being driven by fear, feeling like there is never enough or as if we were not enough, until we achieve that thing.

I believe that most people do not live from that place - we're constantly chasing after something, worrying about the future and wondering about all the possible "what if"s...

What could it look like if you shifted into safety first, and only once you found that within yourself, only then started taking action from that place?

Tune in to hear how I decided to take a break and wait till I'd be able to tap into that safety back in May 2023 - and how it seems to have worked out more than just fine!

Thanks for listening!

As trauma-informed intuitive life coaches, Kirsi-Marja Hardy and I believe that most people do not actually feel safe in their bodies and experience of life most of the time.

What is "safety", really? We see it as a felt sense in the body. It is not an objective fact, but a highly subjective inner state.

In this deep dive with intuitive coach Mark Dallimore, I share about my experience with emotional overwhelm, chronic shame, and insomnia. I observe how the latter has disappeared from my life as a natural byproduct of processing my emotions in a conscious way.

We discuss the tools and concepts that have helped us deal with emotional overwhelm and find peace in times of difficulty, such as learning how to be present to our emotions, as well as receive presence from others, giving permission to whatever thoughts or feelings show up in a given moment, rather than trying to hush them away and focus on something else, and opening up to support.

In this episode with my fellow trauma-informed intuitive coach & parenting coach Kirsi-Marja Hardy we discuss how we can use emotions to create the lives we wish to lead.

We are all powerful creators and we are never not creating our reality. We are the ones attracting, keeping in or out of our lives the things, situations, or people that we do. But oftentimes, not consciously.

How can we use that to our benefit and start creating consciously and intentionally?

We'll dive into concepts like energy and vibration, emotions being pure energy in motion, and the so-called law of attraction.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

In today’s episode with my fellow trauma-informed coach Kirsi-Marja Hardy, also active as a parenting coach, we discuss how unprocessed emotions get stuck in our bodies and can manifest as muscle tension, depression, dis-ease, negative thought patterns or even mental health challenges. 

E-motion = Energy in Motion

Energy always wants to be in motion. When we don't allow it, it gets stuck. When we don't pay attention to our emotions and release the energetic charge which they are in a proper way, they can get stuck in our energetic and physical bodies.

PAIN = Pay Attention Inside Now

Physical ailments can actually be a way for our bodies to communicate something to us.

The book I reference is “Thy Myth of Normal” by Gabor Maté, a Canadian physician and psychotherapist specializing in trauma, childhood development, addiction, and the connection between physical and mental health.

In this episode with Kirsi Hardy, we dig deep into the subconscious processes that keep us playing safe and small. Namely, we explain how we prevent ourselves from having it too good in life by creating setbacks and unpleasant scenarios to limit our positive feelings! 

We’re going to share some ways to start noticing and working on these unconscious behaviorial patterns, so make sure to listen till the end. 

The book which inspired our talk is called “The Big Leap”, written by Gay Hendricks.
