  • #231 - What Are You Holding On To For Fear That Nothing Will Come To Take It’s Place?

    Autumn is my absolute favourite season, and I have a few reasons… It’s beautiful, for one. But for me it’s also the season of reflection and release, and the releasing that happens now makes room for my second favourite season, winter. Winter is when I’m at my most creative, under blankets, writing and making and doing all the things I love. Autumn clears the space for it.

    I’ve been in the woods constantly these past few weeks. I can’t seem to stay away. The leaves are starting to carpet the ground, and every time I wander through them I’m reminded of the same thing: the trees aren’t clinging to their leaves because they’re afraid of bare branches. They let go because they trust the cycle. They know what’s coming, and they’re at peace with it.

    October is when nature really shows us how to release. So I want to ask you something.

    What are you holding on to for fear that nothing’s coming to take its place?

    It’s rarely the thing itself

    I’m not talking about forcing a release before something is ready, or manufacturing a letting-go for the sake of it. This is about noticing what you’re gripping on to, and why.

    There’s no right or wrong answer, and the question tends to land in the body before the mind. Your body will often know what’s misaligned waaay before your head admits it.

    It’s also worth remembering that we’re not usually attached to the thing itself. We’re attached to what it gives us: income, identity, credibility, a sense of safety. And the real fear isn’t losing the thing. It’s the gap, that in-between stretch where you’ve let go of what wasn’t right and what is right hasn’t arrived yet.

    We hate the gap. I think that’s partly cultural, especially in business, where empty space gets treated as failure or wasted time. Nature sees it completely differently. Think of fallow fields, or the dark of the moon. Not everything blooms all year round, and it’s not meant to. Rest is essential. Inherrant.

    A question I love when I suspect something is out of alignment but I’m not quite ready to let it go: what would I have to feel if I put this down right now? Scarcity? Stress? Worry? Naming the feeling you’d have to move through often tells you exactly why you’re still holding on.

    What we cling to in business

    Fear sits behind most of it, and it shows up in all sorts of places.

    Offers. How many of us have outgrown one? (My hand’s up) It no longer feels good to deliver, we don’t really want to be doing it, but it’s still paying the bills. The scarcity that comes up when we imagine releasing it feels too uncomfortable, so we carry on.

    Titles, brand and identity. Pieces of ourselves and our identity we’ve long since outgrown.

    Clients and collaborations. Most of us know what it’s like when a client starts to feel like a duty rather than a pleasure, or when a collaboration we said yes to starts breeding resentment. The people-pleaser in us keeps going much longer than our soul is calling us to.

    Strategies and pace. The hustle culture that never really worked for us, and the obsession with output that makes us too scared to reassess how fast we’re going.

    The story of who we’re supposed to be. This is the big one. Over years of being told what’s expected of us, or being positioned as the person who carries more than her share, we build a persona. It’s been our story for so long that it’s incredibly hard to put down.

    Sometimes we keep something alive long after it’s stopped serving us because we mistake the familiar for solid ground. We’re so used to the struggle that it feels safer than moving towards something more aligned, because moving means a gap.

    Nothing is wasted

    In a wild ecosystem, nothing is wasted in the release. The fallen leaves become soil that feeds the rest of the forest. A dead tree becomes habitat for countless creatures. And where it falls, it opens a clearing for light to get through.

    So here’s a reframe. Instead of “I’m scared nothing’s coming,” try “something is on it’s way, I just can’t see it yet.” Often the new thing can’t grow until the old canopy has come down.

    What if that’s true for you? What if the alignment, the abundance, the joy and meaning in your work can’t properly develop until you release what’s asking to be let go of?

    One important distinction: releasing is not the same as abandoning. Releasing is conscious and intentional. Abandoning is panic-quitting. I see it constantly in marketing, where people drop a strategy after a few weeks because it isn’t working fast enough. Most people grossly underestimate how long a strategy takes to work, so nothing is ever given fertile soil for long enough to grow. Release what’s ready to go. Don’t quit before something has had a chance to take root.

    A release ritual

    Here’s a practice I’d love you to try. Now, if you’re anything like me, you’ll read something like this, nod along, think yes, definitely doing that, and then never do it. (My hand is firmly raised.. again.) So make a promise to yourself before you read on.

    Grab your journal and a pen.

    * Write down what you’re holding on to. What are you clinging to for fear nothing is coming to take its place? Be radically honest. No one will ever read this but you.

    * Beside it, write what it has given you, then thank it. Maybe an offer introduced your first clients, built your confidence, or contributed to your income. Maybe a client who no longer feels aligned has given you clarity about what is and isn’t right for you. Thank it / them.

    * Underneath, write what you fear will happen in the gap. In the space between releasing this and the arrival of what’s aligned, what are you actually frightened of? Again, be honest. Look it in the eye. Make peace with the discomfort.

    * Let go of the page. This is the release, the moment you commit. Burn it, bury it in the garden, or tear it into tiny pieces. Whatever feels right, as long as it’s kind to the environment.

    * Sit in silence for ten minutes (or more) if you can. Don’t rush to fill the space or work out what to do next to invite the new thing in. Just acknowledge the release. Let your shoulders drop. Be okay with the letting-go part.

    October is a perfect time for this.

    The gap is the winter

    Here’s the thing that came to me while I was recording this. (I had actually recorded a full version of this episode already and forgotten to press record, which was frustrating, but I now think it happened so I’d get to say this properly.)

    The pause, the gap, is not wasted. It’s the winter part of the cycle, the dormant part. And you don’t need the next thing lined up to justify letting go of this one. It’s allowed to be just the release.

    If you can accept that, the safety you build into the gap becomes so much lighter. It’s simple. It’s warm. It’s about tending the space rather than stuffing it full of something else as quickly as possible. And that lets the more aligned thing emerge in its own time.

    Nothing in nature is permanent, and we are nature. Impermanence is a lovely idea to embrace, and I think it would take so much stress off us. What was once aligned may no longer be. What wasn’t aligned before may become so. The work is noticing, and taking action.

    So, one last time: what are you holding on to for fear that nothing’s coming to take its place?

    The other platform I’m falling back in love with, as well as Substack, of course, is Instagram (I’ve curated my feed with so much intention, it just feels like the most beautiful, inspiring space again now. So if you’d like to follow along there too, you can find me HERE.

    The Circle

    As a woman who’s created a completely soul-aligned business, I KNOW the importance of building in space and quiet.

    In a world where AI is literally telling us what to think, we need to get quiet enough to hear our own, unique thoughts and ideas.

    For centuries, women have gathered in circles around fires and hearths to share food, care for children, and pass down tribal wisdom. In our modern, hyper-connected world, we’ve lost these spaces of deep listening and shared warmth.

    The Circle is an invitation to step off the wheel of constant doing, and remember what it feels like to be held, and to belong.

    This isn’t a business mastermind.

    There’s no funnel talk here, no growth hacks, no pressure to perform your success for an audience. This is a space to simply show up, as the whole of who you are, not just the founder, healer, coach, or creative parts.

    We gather in circle online four times every month… would LOVE you to join us.

  • #230 - Pulling The Plug On Spiritual Elitism

    There's a massive contradiction that I'm witnessing in the zeitgeist at the moment - on the one hand, we're talking about the huge shift that we want to happen. We're talking about the New Era. I was part of the New Era series hosted by my dear friend Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine with a bunch of amazing women all talking about this, and NONE of whom fall into category of spiritual elitists that I'm thinking about, thank goodness.

    We talk about this new era and what we want to happen, and more women are getting curious, maybe they’re exploring spirituality for the first time, or mysticism, or maybe it's witchcraft, whatever it is, they're getting curious. They're getting brave enough to start exploring what their soul is calling them to, only to be confronted by a firing squad of OG women who consider themselves to be the spiritual elite and who are ready to shoot them down.

    Now, my own work has really evolved over the last couple of years - my private coaching focusses on growing soul-led businesses, on identity and uncovering true purpose. And of course, I have my online membership, The Circle, but before that, I was very much of the mindset that the spiritual world wasn't for me - I genuinely didn’t believe I belonged in that ‘club’. I felt like it was an environment that other people were allowed to explore, but I was on the outside of it, peering through the window, jealous of what I saw inside.

    But in time, I came to realise that there had been plenty of signs that I was incredibly intuitive as a child. The primary way that my intuition comes through is through clairaudience, which means I hear messages. I hear my soul speaking to me, giving me direction, and I've realised that is something that has always been the case for me.

    When I was a child, people would remark on how fast I wrote. I would scribble frantically because I couldn't get all of the thoughts that I was hearing in my head out onto the paper quickly enough. I would often say to my mom, "I don't want to go to school today, Mum." And she would ask me why, and I'd say, "because the writing makes my hand hurt." And I remember now that feeling of my hand and my arm hurting because I'd been scribbling so fast to try and keep up with the messages I was hearing. The words being spoken to me, that I needed to capture onto the page.

    We are all intuitive. It’s not something that we have to earn or learn. It’s part of who we are. It's just that some of us are pay more attention - listen or watch or feel into our intuition. Only when I began using my intuition was I able to evolve my work so that it reflected what I'm really here to do, and I was able to do that because I was so fortunate to have women in my life, as part of my inner circle, who were incredibly spiritual, and were not gatekeepers.

    I want to shout out three women that really stand out to me as people who helped me with this. Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine, first of all, the founder of the Be Her Collective, a very dear friend of mine and wonderful, incredibly intuitive woman.

    Another woman in my circle who has been incredible is Alicia M Rodriguez -Between Root and Sky. Alicia is one of the most spiritual people that I know and really taught me so much about my own journey through this via her writing and wise counsel.

    And the other woman again, a close friend and incredible spiritual healer & coach (and just all-round wise woman) is Jennifer Evans, AKA Zen Jen.

    All of these women have been so encouraging, so arms open… "Of course you're interested in pursuing this. Of course you're evolving. How can I help you? What can I share with you? What do you need?"

    The sad thing is I am not seeing that level of generosity, of openness, of welcoming, happening across the board. What I am seeing is gatekeeping, elitism, “Your opinion isn't valid because you haven't been doing it for long enough”, and that drives me frickin’ nuts. If you are someone who wants to explore this part of you, please hear this: You are as entitled to talk about this stuff, you are as entitled to practice this stuff, to explore what feels good to you, what you believe in, what matters to you as much as anyone else.

    There is space for all of us to be unapologetic about our own work, to allow ourselves to be beginners, to be someone who is starting to tread a particular path and is new to it. Those women deserve to be welcomed and supported and told they belong, not shunned and told, "Unless you have these hundreds of years of lineage behind you, you don't belong here, and you don't get to have a say."

    If you are someone who is exploring a deeper side to your work or your life, don't listen to those voices.

    And if you are a healer, a guide, a coach, a spiritual advisor, an intuitive guide, then I urge you to focus on welcoming women in, encouraging them, passing on your wisdom to the people who are following the call of their own soul but are maybe a few years behind you. If we truly want to step into a new era, a new way of being, we have to start reaching our hand back to help those coming up behind us. We can't keep being protective, greedy, or hoarding of our own space.

    For anyone who’s felt "God, I don't know if I belong in this club. I don't know enough. I don't know all the lingo. I don't know what to say. I don't know what the practices are. I don't wanna look stupid", I would urge you to please keep going, because I had all of those thoughts.

    I had those thoughts when I first bought a deck of Oracle cards and didn't know what to bloody do with them (thank you Rebecca Campbell for showing me the way). The first time I went to a women's circle myself and felt like, "Gosh, everyone else seems to know the words to say or seems to know the format."

    It's okay to be a beginner. You belong.

    You belong wherever you are willing to commit your heart. If you're willing to do that, then you belong there, and no one else gets to tell you that you don't.

    The Circle

    Want your own inner circle of women who get it? Who will welcome you with open arms? My online community, The Circle, costs just £22 per month, and you get to come to four online circles each month: two moon circles, a sacred soul circle, and a writing circle. And you get to come to my seasonal day retreats, which are also online, a whole day of meditation, journaling, and other practices & Zoom circles. These virtual day retreats are a beautiful way to mark the Solstices & Equinoxes. Our next gathering for a day retreat will be on the winter solstice in December.

  • #229 - The Wonder of Gathering Together in Circle

    Step into a little time warp with me… so, I recorded this episode before my week in Glastonbury with Rebecca Campbell for my Sacred Circle Facilitation training. But I’m writing this to you after my week away. The Gill who recorded this podcast episode, isn’t the Gill tapping away at the keyboard right now.

    Us coaches love throwing around the word ‘transformational’ - well, trust me, I’ll be using it with more intention from now on. I’m still processing everything I learned, experienced and had the privilege to be part of over the week, but rest assured, it will all gradually trickle down to you, infused into the podcast, my essays here on Substack, my coaching programs, and, of course, when we gather in circle together.

    Which brings me beautifully to this week’s episode of ReWild Your Business, which is all about just that - gathering in circle together.

    Like I said, I recorded this before my sacred circle facilitation training, and now, on the other side of that, I want to double down on everything. My community already enjoyed our circles, but I know that moving forward, the circles will just become deeper and more soul-nourishing every time!

    Until recently, my community was called The Wild Way, but as I lean further into creating sacred circles for women, I’ve renamed it The Circle (I love a name that is what it is!)

    https://gillmoakes.com/the-circle

    In essence, The Circle is an incredibly simple community - there’s nowhere to ‘log in’ to, no chat to feel guilty about ignoring, there are just live, unrecorded gatherings on Zoom where I guide you through various practices like reflection journaling, meditation, sharing etc, depending on the circle.

    Currently, joining the community gives you access to 4 online circles every month:

    New Moon Circle

    At new moon, we gather to set our intentions for the cycle ahead. We embrace the new moon energy and connect with what our soul is calling us towards.

    Writing Circle

    I believe we are ALL writers - some of us just practice more than others. This is a monthly space to reconnect with your own words. We simply set an intention for the session, then write together in companionable silence for an hour.

    Full Moon Circle

    We gather and tap into the powerful energy of each full moon, to reflect, release and set ourselves free.

    Sacred Soul Circle

    Our monthly Sacred Soul Circle is all about connecting with, listening to and acting upon the call of your soul. This is deep work, and gathering to do it together is magical.

    If you’re craving a community that’s the opposite of performative, that can hold and nurture you through the inner work that is so crucial to doing work that matters, then The Circle might be exactly what you’ve been looking for, and we’d love you to join us…

    https://gillmoakes.com/the-circle

    (By the way the cost is just £22 per month and that gives you access to all online circles AND my seasonal online Day Retreats)

    Paid Subscribers / Circle Members - October Dates For Your Diary

  • #228 - How To Know If You're Investing Time & Money Into The Right Thing

    On the podcast this week, I’m talking about how to know whether you’re making a good decision for yourself and your business when there are so many voices out there telling you that they are the ones with the must-have solution you need…

    First thing first, and this will be no surprise, we’re talking intuition.

    You need to get really familiar with your body’s physical ‘yes’ and ‘no’ signals, AND you need to understand the difference between an expansive decision that feels scary versus something that’s fundamentally misaligned.

    Remember, all the unethical sales strategies that rely on fake countdowns and pressure tactics are intentionally trying to hijack your inner wisdom. You don’t have to succumb to that once you’re aware of it.

    When it comes to how and where you spend money in your business, it’s important that you define what your desired ROI (return on investment) is. Beyond the cold, hard cash, what if we also look at energy saved, nervous system calming, creative freedom reclaimed… What makes an investment ‘worth it’ for YOU? What feels important to you that maybe doesn’t matter to others?

    Another thing to be mindful of is looking past the polish. Who hasn’t been seduced by a beautiful website, a striking colour palette and a poetic bio?! But those things can also blind us to misalignments if we’re not careful. However much you adore someone’s aesthetics, what about their values? What do others say about working with them? What’s their world view? How important is client experience to them?

    Finally, before investing in anything, PLEASE ask yourself this… ‘do I have the capacity to integrate this?’ Money is never the only investment - it’s so important to evaluate whether you have the time / energy / mental capacity to actually implement what you’re investing in.

    This episode looks at this topic from two angles, really - from the angle of the investor, and from the angle of the person being invested in. Understanding both perspectives will have a huge impact on how you seek support, and how you offer it!

    Personally, part of my enrolment process for new coaching clients is having an honest conversation around whether this is truly the right investment for them to make, at the right time.

    It’s so important to me that a client begins work with me as a wholehearted ‘yes’!

    If you’re looking for support to grow your soul-led business, I’d be happy to have that kind of chat with you too…

    BOOK A CALL

    In this episode I mentioned a previous episode where I go deeper on the topic of intuition - you can check out that episode here: #30 - How To Trust Your Intuition

    Until next time, have a wonderful week!

  • #227 - Autumn Awakening - Harnessing The Energy Of The Second Spring

    On the podcast this week, we’re stepping into autumn, a time that always feels to me like a second Spring in terms of energy. It’s so easy to make ourselves wrong for slowing down, to feel guilty about projects that stalled over summer, but I believe that quiet period was just your inner well refilling - a completely natural and necessary part of your year. In this episode I’m talking about how to leverage this seasonal shift into autumn, and what might be possible with the different energy it brings.

    Honouring Your Business Rhythm

    Nature doesn’t bloom all year-round, and we shouldn’t expect ourselves to either. Slower seasons rest the soil; it’s not laziness, wasted time, or the procrastination of imposter syndrome, it’s your system conserving energy for the right season.

    3 Markers of a Soul-Aligned Move

    When you’re thinking about how you want to use your renewed energy - what project / decision / next step you want to focus on, ask yourself if it meets these criteria:

    * It feels expansive rather than urgent.

    * It simplifies your focus instead of cluttering your business.

    * It requires your full, undiluted presence.

    The Practice of Silent Listening

    I encourage you to sit in absolute silence, no podcasts, no music, not even your journal at first. Just give yourself space to connect with your soul and hear what your work actually needs from you.

    Journaling Prompt

    If I knew my energy was fully supported by this season, what is the single soul-aligned move my business is asking me to make right now?

    If you’re ready to bring your bold move to life this season, I’ve opened up slots for my 12-week 1:1 Mentorship.

    * We kick off with a deep-dive 90-minute visioning session.

    * We’ll have biweekly 60-minute calls with implementation weeks built in between.

    * You’ll have direct email and private messaging access to me throughout our time together.

    * You get complimentary access to weekly online circles & one seasonal online day retreat

    Head over to gillmoakes.com/mentorship to read through the details and book a casual, no-obligation chat with me.

  • #226 - What Does It Mean To ReWild Your Business?

    You know when you're really close to something, you don't always pause to check that people are getting it the way you do? Well I came face to face (well, email to email) with just that last week. Someone dropped me a line saying that they'd been listening in to the podcast for quite a while now, (and they caveatted with 'this might be a stupid question'... (trust me, it's not)... but what does it actually mean to 'rewild your business'?

    Ok, a not-so-subtle sign that I need to record an episode that shares exactly what I mean, and why it might be exactly what you, and your business are craving right now. I mean, the online space has never been louder, the volume of content begging to be consumed has never been greater, the number of 'experts' shouting to be heard is overwhelming. BUT, we don't have to jump into that world.

    We can carve out a quieter, calmer, more peaceful way to grow our businesses. In this episode I share the 5 principals of rewilding your business:

     1. Complete honesty about what you want (and don't want) your business to be.

    2. Radical permission to go all in.

    3. Depth over breadth. One or two offers that genuinely fulfil a desire that your ideal client has.

    4. A marketing ecosystem that you can actually sustain without hating yourself.

    5. Bespoke excellence. Treating every single client like they are your only client.

    In this week's episode I share why I failed to upload an episode last week (after 4 years of weekly consistency!). There are a couple of reasones:

    1. Summer Slowness - my energy has been diverted to other creative pursuits like writing, reading and painting, but as always with me, as we stroll into September my energy shifts up a gear and I'm back!

    2. My podcast editor was on holiday.

  • #224 - Human Design - Getting Personal with Nadia Adan

    Something a bit different this week, friends. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with Nadia Adan when speaking at the ICF Converge Summit in Paris earlier this year.

    Nadia is a transformational mentor and Quantum Human Design™ specialist who helps women stop living their "should life" and start making intentional choices that truly feel like them. After a decade in hospitality and travel tech, successful on paper but burnt out inside, she was pushed out of a toxic work environment and used the stillness that followed to do the inner work that changed everything.

    She trained in coaching, NLP, EFT, and Quantum Human Design™ and built AlignHer: the space she wishes she'd had when she was sitting in that messy middle. Today she works with women 1:1, and through programmes and readings, helping them reconnect with their values and build a life they've intentionally chosen.

    We connected after the summit and came up with a fab idea for the podcast - Nadia gathered the information she needed from me to map out my human design, and this episode is where she shares that with me live!

    I still can’t believe how true her reading was - I mean down to the tiniest of details. It really was incredible. AND Nadia agreed to come back again soon to complete the sharing of my human design (seriously she’s thorough - it’s gonna be a two-parter!)

    If Human Design is something that intrigues you the way it did me, I HIGHLY recommend you contact Nadia - you know I only recommend people I’ve had a personal experience of working with, well I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Nadia!

    Her insightful interpretation of my design made so much sense to me and actually helped me unpack the why behind some of the thoughts and feelings I have.

    Listen in to the episode and I’d love to hear what you think… just hit reply to this email.

  • #223 - Call In Your Support Circle

    Do you have a support circle? Those people in your life that you trust implicitly to tell you the truth (even when you don’t want to hear it). The people you can call when you want to rant about something and you know beyond any doubt that you’re being unreasonable, but you just don’t care… it’s got to come out.

    The people who don’t automatically try to find a solution for you, unless you specifically ask them for that kind of help.

    The people who understand why you’re so disproportionately happy about a single line of copy for your website that you nailed and just need to boast about.

    The ones who totally get it when you want to throw your laptop out of the window one moment then switch to “and THIS is why I do what I do”, literally 5 seconds later.

    We NEED those people. Probably more than we need any other kind of support in our businesses. Entrepreneurial loneliness is a real thing, but you don’t have to stay stuck in it…

    On the podcast this week I’m talking you through why having an inner circle / a support circle is SO important, and how to cultivate the support you need from the people already in your world.

    If this strikes a chord with you, you might like to join me inside The Wild Way… it’s a fledgling community, but is shaping up nicely to be exactly that kind of circle…
