In this episode of Seasons of Self, Laura reflects on what happens when a vision doesn’t come into form on the timeline we expect — and why that doesn’t mean the dream is lost.

Recorded under the Full Moon in Leo and at the seasonal threshold of Imbolc, this conversation explores grief, discernment, and the quiet re-inspiration that follows loss. Laura shares her personal journey of carrying a vision for a retreat center, grieving when the land sold, and discovering that honouring grief can create space for what’s next.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen to the natural world, and trust the timing of your becoming.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why visions often arrive before the body and nervous system are ready to hold them

• How nature teaches us about timing, capacity, and seasons of growth

• Grief as a sacred process — not a failure of faith or trust

• Discernment for empaths: what is yours to carry, and what is not

• The symbolism of Imbolc and the first spark of new beginnings

• Full Moon in Leo themes of expression, joy, courage, and authenticity

• Releasing the need to be polished or perfect in order to be seen

• An invitation into Laura’s upcoming spring group container and summer retreats on the Sunshine Coast

• A guided mindfulness practice to help you let go, cross a threshold, and reconnect with your inner wisdom

If you’re in a season of transition, waiting, or quiet becoming — this episode is for you.

In this episode of Seasons of Self, Laura reflects on the grounded, steady energy of Capricorn and the wisdom of winter in the northern hemisphere. This is a conversation for anyone who feels slower than expected this time of year, behind on New Year’s intentions, or tender around dreams that are shifting or falling away.

Laura shares openly about her own process of grieving an old vision, noticing where she’s been grasping, and learning to release while still honoring what truly matters. This episode offers a compassionate reminder that grief can be just as clarifying as excitement — and that rest, reflection, and trust are essential parts of the creative process.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• The energy of the New Moon in Capricorn as a quiet, intentional turning point

• Why winter is still a time of rest, even when the year feels “new”

• Letting go of old dreams and identities with tenderness and honesty

• How grasping can feel dysregulating — and what release creates space for

• Reflecting on the past year to recognize growth and completion

• A guided reflection to help you tune into inner wisdom and next steps

• Planting seeds for the year ahead without forcing action

• Using vision boards as a soulful, embodied visioning practice

Laura also guides listeners through a gentle grounding and reflection practice, followed by invitations for journaling and visioning to help clarify what you want to cultivate in the year ahead — at your own pace.

This episode is an offering of reassurance, grounding, and trust in the timing of your life.

Journal Prompts:

1. What feels complete in my life right now — even if it didn’t unfold the way I once imagined?

2. What dreams, identities, or expectations have I been holding onto, and how do they feel in my body?

3. What might soften or become possible if I allowed myself to gently let go?

4. As I create space, what feels true, alive, or quietly calling me forward in this season of my life?

5. If this year were a garden, what seeds do I want to plant — and what kind of care will they need?

The Full Moon in Cancer invites us into honesty, sensitivity, and the kind of self-honoring that doesn’t require us to “push through.” In this episode of Seasons of Self, Laura shares a behind-the-scenes reflection on returning home from an expansive, beautiful, and overstimulating Gregorian New Year immersive — and the nervous system recalibration that follows when you’ve been cracked open by connection and creativity.

This is a winter threshold episode: a reminder that even as the days slowly lengthen, we’re still in hibernation energy — and that’s not a problem to fix. Laura explores the difference between New Year’s resolutions vs. intentions, and why this time is more about inner reflection and gentle tending than forcing a fresh start. She also offers a grounding Full Moon meditation to help you come home to your body, your emotional truth, and what feels safe and nourishing right now.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why the Full Moon in Cancer stirs tenderness, memory, and the need for emotional safety

• The duality of expansion: inspiration + overstimulation (especially for sensitive souls)

• The winter “push-pull” between wanting connection and needing solitude

• New Year intentions vs. resolutions — and why we’re still in a threshold season

• Simple ways to support yourself when you feel overwhelmed

• A guided meditation to release, soften, and return to your inner home

• An invitation to receive support — and a vision for future guest stories on the podcast

Take a breath. Reduce the input. Choose warmth. You are right on time.

In today’s episode, we gather under the Full Moon in Gemini — a moon of duality, insight, and truth-telling — to explore what this moment in the year is inviting us to see.

Laura shares a heartfelt update on her long, winding journey toward creating a retreat center on the Sunshine Coast — the miracles, the setbacks, the doubt-wobbles, and the moments of deep devotion that keep returning her to the vision.
This episode is an honest look at what it means to hold a dream before it’s fully in form, and how to discern whether bumps on the path are signs to stop… or invitations to root deeper.

From there, we explore the energy of the Gemini Full Moon and how it illuminates the mental, emotional, and spiritual “data” of your year — lighting the way before we enter the darkest days before the solstice.

You’ll then be guided through a grounding meditation and visualization called “Gathering the Light of Your Year,” supporting you to integrate lessons, acknowledge your growth, and reconnect with the inner lantern that guides your next steps.

Whether you’re in a season of expansion, questioning, or quiet integration, this episode offers reflection, clarity, and an invitation to honour the path you’re on.

Journal Prompts from the Episode

1. What has this year taught me about my resilience?

2. Where was I tested, and what did those tests reveal about my devotion?

3. What doubts surfaced, and what wisdom did they carry?

4. What vision or desire keeps returning, even when I waver?

5. As we move toward the solstice, what am I integrating?

6. What wants to be acknowledged or completed before the year ends?

Under the Scorpio New Moon, Laura opens the doors to her own becoming — sharing the intimate story of a long-held dream that’s finally asking to be born: a land-based sanctuary where people can come to rest, be held, and birth their next chapter into being.

She speaks about corporate burnout, letting everything go back in 2016, and the nine-year journey that’s prepared her to steward this vision now. This episode weaves together devotion, nervous system care, seasonal living, and the radical act of slowing down in a world that wants us to rush our gestation.

You’ll also be guided through a gentle visualization to connect with the vision that’s wanting to come through you right now — and the one next step it’s asking you to take.

And for those who feel the pull, Laura shares a heartfelt invitation for aligned investors, collaborators, and vision holders to help bring this sanctuary to life.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The New Moon in Scorpio as a portal for commitment, soul agreements, and deep transformation

• Laura’s behind-the-scenes journey with a retreat property that feels like her vision board made real

• The long arc of this dream — from burnout and leaving corporate in 2016 to today’s sanctuary vision

• Why women need safe, nourishing spaces to gestate ideas, heal, and create outside of productivity culture

• Preparing for winter — firewood, canning, and honouring the body’s natural pace in contrast to urgency

• The difference between fear-based urgency and soul-led timing

• The power of hiring “midwives” for your dream and choosing not to do it all alone

• A guided visualization to connect with the seed of what wants to be born through you now

• An invitation to those who feel called to co-create or invest in this sanctuary

Under the Full Moon in Taurus, we trade noise for knowing. This episode moves from inner calm to outer decisiveness: embodiment over endless thinking, values aligned with reality, and the single smallest step that actually waters your dream.

I share a real-time update on the retreat center journey (aka the snow-globe whirlwind), how I’m discerning support vs. interference, and a grounding visualization to help you hear your next step.

We close with journal prompts to anchor Taurus themes—self-worth, resources, simplicity—and an invitation for those ready to bring their vision to life. I’m also calling in one or two values-aligned angel investors for a regenerative, nature-rooted retreat space on the Sunshine Coast.

Highlights

• Taurus Full Moon themes: embodiment, values, resources, simplicity; stabilizing what remains after Scorpio’s shedding

• The “snow globe” month: clarifying support, boundaries, and aligned action

• Three tests for alignment: breath check, body sensation, small-enough next step

• Guided visualization: root into your senses and choose one doable action

• Journal prompts: values audit, body truth, resource map, boundary check, ritual of enough

• CTA: 1:1 coaching/counselling openings + investor conversations

In this tender and empowering episode of Seasons of Self, Laura opens up about the heartbreak she feels witnessing so many women believe that anxiety, exhaustion, and overwhelm mean something is wrong with them.

Drawing on her own personal journey and years of experience as a therapist and coach, Laura challenges the impossible expectations placed on women to “do it all” and invites us to see anxiety and exhaustion not as flaws, but as messengers.

With wisdom from the natural world, she reminds us that just as we wouldn’t blame a struggling plant, we shouldn’t blame ourselves — it’s often the conditions around us that need tending.

This episode weaves together:
The plant metaphor for understanding our thriving
The significance of the Virgo New Moon (Sept 21, 2025)
Reflections on the Autumn Equinox (Sept 22, 2025) and seasonal cycles
A short guided meditation and journal prompts to help you clarify what you truly need to thrive
An invitation into community spaces of support and witnessing

You’ll leave with a renewed knowing: there is nothing wrong with you — and everything right with who you already are.
