Seasons of You

How to Set Intentions When You Feel Lost and Don’t Know Who You Are Anymore

What happens when you finally arrive at the life you’ve spent years dreaming about…and suddenly you’re not sure what comes next?

For the past few years, working with the Wheel of the Year has helped me move through life with greater intention. In the Southern Hemisphere, August and September is the time of year of traditionally a time of new beginnings, planting seeds and considering what we want to grow in the coming cycle.

Usually, I love this part of the Wheel of the Year. This year was different.

In this episode of Seasons of You, I share my personal experience of navigating a huge identity shift after selling our home, letting go of almost everything we owned and beginning our long-held dream of travelling Australia full-time as a family.

Last year, my seeds felt clear. This year, I found myself asking different questions.

Who am I now? What do I want when I’ve already arrived somewhere I spent years trying to reach?

How do you set intentions when you don’t feel completely clear about your identity, desires or what comes next?

I share honestly about feeling stuck, avoidant and uncertain, and why this spring has surprisingly felt more like winter for me. We explore the reality of moving through emotional cycles, revisiting old patterns at deeper layers and learning to trust ourselves when clarity doesn’t arrive all at once.

In this episode, I explore:

• how to work with the Wheel of the Year in the Southern Hemisphere

• setting intentions and planting seeds for a new seasonal cycle

• navigating major life transitions and identity shifts

• what happens when you achieve a long-held dream

• how to move forward when you don’t know exactly what you want

• why your internal seasons don’t always match the season outside

• feeling stuck, lost or disconnected from your sense of identity

• perfectionism, fear of the unknown and avoidance

• using the luteal phase for reflection and honest self-inquiry

• why clarity can come through action rather than waiting for all the answers

• moving from tangible goals towards internal shifts and embodiment

• creating intentions through journalling, ritual and visualisation

• why my vision-setting practice looks different every year

• the mind map I’m using to visually plant my seeds this year

• trusting your own cyclical process rather than forcing yourself into a prescribed method

One of the biggest lessons I’m learning is that we don’t always need to know exactly who we are before we take the next step.

Sometimes we discover ourselves by moving. Sometimes we plant one seed and allow the rest to reveal itself.

We Need to Talk About Pelvic Floors, Bodily Functions & Shame

This conversation is about something we rarely talk about openly: the shame we carry around our bodies and the completely normal bodily functions we’ve been taught to hide.

From farting and pooping to weeing, menstruation and incontinence, so many of our natural bodily experiences have become wrapped in embarrassment and shame.

In this episode of Seasons of You, “Why Are We So Ashamed of Our Bodies? Pelvic Floor Health & Healing”, I’m joined by B from Core & Floor Restore for a deeply honest conversation about pelvic floor health, body shame, nervous system regulation and what it can look like to reconnect with a body we may have spent years trying to hide.

B shares her own experience of living with incontinence for more than a decade and the journey that began with a near death snake bite experience at age 11 and came to a head while she experienced Hyperemesis in pregnancy, and eventually led her to create Core & Floor Restore, as she explored the nervous system and emotional healing in conjunction with the physical.

We talk about how shame can keep us stuck, why healing is not linear and why it’s never too late to begin supporting and healing your body.

We also explore:

• how to heal and support your pelvic floor

• pelvic floor issues including incontinence, prolapse, haemorrhoids

• the connection between the body, emotions and nervous system

• how to regulate when you’re living in survival mode

• moving out of freeze mode and reconnecting with your body

• releasing shame around bodily functions

• why movement can be such an important part of healing

• finding healthcare providers who see the whole person

• why validation, support and community matter

• how to approach exercise with joy rather than punishment

• learning to feel good and safe in your body again

This isn’t a conversation about fixing your body or becoming another version of “good enough”. It’s about remembering that your body is worthy of support, care and understanding.

And that you are never too old, too far gone or too broken to begin.

Meet our Guest:

What if being emotionally regulated didn’t mean feeling calm all the time?

In this episode of Seasons of You, “Calm Is a Skill: Learning Regulation No Matter The Circumstances”, I’m joined by clinical hypnotherapist Leticia for a practical and deeply empowering conversation about nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and learning how to move through life’s challenges with greater resilience.

Together, we unpack what hypnotherapy really is (and what it isn’t), how the subconscious mind shapes our daily lives, and why calm isn’t something we’re born with, but something we can learn and practise.

Rather than striving to eliminate difficult emotions, this conversation explores how emotional regulation allows us to experience the full spectrum of our feelings without becoming overwhelmed or stuck.

In this episode, we explore:

• What clinical hypnotherapy is and how it works

• Using visualisation and imagination to rewire the brain

• The difference between talk therapy, somatic healing, and subconscious work

• Why emotions are stored in the body and how to process them

• Emotional regulation and nervous system support for everyday life

• Co-regulation with our children and teaching emotional resilience

• Why people pleasing is making you dysregulated

• Practical regulation tools you can use in real life

• How to meditate when you have a busy mind

• A simple two-minute visualisation practice to help you feel more grounded

• Moving through fear and stepping into your power

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, anxiety, overwhelm, or simply longing to feel more grounded, this conversation offers practical tools you can begin using today.

This episode feels like part channeled message, part journal entry, part coaching session - I'm excited for you to jump in!

For years, I dreaded winter.

As the winter solstice approached, I’d feel anxious. The shorter days felt heavy, the darkness felt constricting and I often wondered if I was experiencing seasonal depression.

But everything changed when I discovered seasonal living.

In this solo episode of Seasons of You, I share how working with the Wheel of the Year completely transformed my relationship with winter. Rather than resisting the slower, darker months, I began to understand their purpose and found a deep sense of peace in honouring the season instead of fighting it.

This year brought a new layer of learning as I experienced winter while travelling through tropical Australia. Even without cold weather or cosy fires, I discovered that the seasonal shifts were still present, inviting me inward in quieter, more subtle ways.

In this episode, I explore:

• My personal journey from dreading winter to embracing it

• Why so many women struggle during the colder, darker months

• How seasonal living can support your mental wellbeing and energy

• Working with the Wheel of the Year and the wisdom of winter

• Honouring the winter solstice wherever you are in the world

• The importance of rest, replenishment and slowing down

• How I celebrated the winter solstice through ritual, reflection and family connection

• Why living seasonally helps us feel more connected to ourselves and nature

Winter isn’t asking you to do more. It’s inviting you to do less.

Why your luteal phase isn’t the problem

In this solo episode of Seasons of You, we’re exploring one of the most misunderstood phases of the menstrual cycle: the luteal phase.

For many women, the premenstrual phase is associated with PMS, irritability, overwhelm, frustration, mood swings and feeling disconnected from themselves. It’s no wonder the luteal phase gets such a bad reputation.

But what if your luteal phase isn’t the problem? What if your premenstrual symptoms are actually valuable information?

In this episode, I share a different perspective on the luteal phase and invite you to approach this phase of your cycle with curiosity and compassion, rather than criticism.

Together we explore:

• What’s happening hormonally during the luteal phase

• Common emotional and energetic experiences during the premenstrual phase

• The opportunities and gifts of the luteal phase

• How menstrual cycle awareness can transform your relationship with PMS

• Personal reflections from my own cycle and recurring patterns I’ve noticed over time

• Questions you can ask yourself when difficult emotions arise

• How cycle awareness can strengthen your relationships and communication

• Why your luteal phase may be revealing unmet needs, boundaries, or areas of your life that need attention

This episode is an invitation to stop fighting your cycle and start listening to it. The luteal phase is not here to punish you. It’s here to communicate with you.

The Truth About Losing Yourself in Motherhood

What if motherhood didn’t make you lose yourself?

What if it simply revealed the parts of you that had been waiting to be remembered all along?

In this episode of Seasons of You, I’m joined by Sam from Raised by Design, who helps mothers remember who they are while protecting their children’s magic through Human Design, astrology and cosmic rituals.

Together, we explore one of the biggest myths surrounding motherhood: that becoming a mother means sacrificing yourself.

Instead, we offer a different perspective. Motherhood doesn’t ask you to disappear. It invites you to come home to yourself.

This conversation is for the millennial mums asking, “Who am I now?”

Together we explore:

• Why motherhood often illuminates the parts of ourselves we’ve been disconnected from

• Reparenting yourself alongside raising your children

• Human Design as a tool for understanding yourself and your family

• How to meet your children’s needs without abandoning your own

• Why anger, frustration, and bitterness can be powerful signals that you’re out of alignment

• Finding joy, creativity and play again after becoming a mum

• Nervous system regulation and creating safety while making changes in your life

• Living your Human Design instead of simply learning about it

• Building a family rhythm that honours everyone’s unique needs

This episode is an invitation to question the stories we’ve inherited about motherhood and create a way of parenting that honours both our children and ourselves.

Because your children don’t need a version of you that disappeared.

They need the version of you that’s fully alive.

Projectors, Manifestors, Generators, and Manifesting Generators in family life

In this deeply nourishing guest episode of Seasons of You, I’m joined by Christina Walpole — mother, creative entrepreneur, mentor for women, and author focused on low-tox living, hormone health, nervous system support and cyclical rhythms.

Together, we explore how food, lifestyle and self-awareness can profoundly impact a woman’s experience of her menstrual cycle.

This conversation moves far beyond “healthy eating” and into the deeper relationship women have with their bodies, hormones, nervous systems and self-worth.

Christina shares her personal experience navigating PMDD and supporting her menstrual cycle through food as medicine, while also speaking honestly about the realities of motherhood, depletion, slowing down and trying to live well in a busy modern world.

In this episode, we explore:

• Supporting your menstrual cycle naturally through food and lifestyle

• PMDD, luteal phase struggles and hormone health

• What cravings can reveal about your body’s needs

• Conscious eating, nervous system support and reducing shame around food

• Diet culture conditioning for millennial women

• Low-tox living, homeschooling, and raising conscious boys

• Why menstrual education matters for boys as much as girls

• Sharing the mental load of meals and cycle support within marriage

• Human Design, Projector energy, and creating a life outside hustle culture

• Slowing down, grounding practices and supporting wellbeing through simple daily rhythms

At the heart of this conversation is the reminder that our bodies are always communicating with us, and learning to listen can change the way we experience womanhood entirely.

As Christina beautifully says: “How absurd that the very thing that brings life into this world is the thing we’re not supposed to understand or talk about.”

This episode is for women wanting to better understand their menstrual cycle, nourish their hormones, reduce shame and create a more supportive relationship with themselves and their bodies.

In this solo Cycle Musings episode of Seasons of You, we explore the celestial cycles that shape our weeks and how working with planetary energies can help life feel more supportive, intentional and easeful.

Rather than forcing ourselves to approach every day with the same energy, this episode invites you to consider the unique themes and rhythms connected to each day of the week through astrology and planetary influence.

I share how aligning your tasks, energy and expectations with planetary energies can support nervous system regulation, reduce overwhelm and create more flow in everyday life. Especially for busy mums, entrepreneurs and non-sacral beings who are not designed for constant output.

In this episode, we explore:

• The planet associated with each day of the week

• The energetic themes connected to each planetary day

• How to structure your week in alignment with astrology and celestial cycles

• Practical examples from my personal life, motherhood, home life and business

• Creating more ease, rhythm and intentionality in your everyday routines

This is an example of why cyclical living goes beyond the menstrual cycle and includes the wider rhythms of nature and the cosmos.

This episode is a gentle introduction to planning your week with planetary energies and creating a more supportive rhythm for your life. If you’ve been craving a softer, more intuitive way to move through your week, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Seasons of You, I’m joined by Gena: creator of Embodied Mantras and founder of GENA GEORGIA, she’s an entrepreneur, Reiki Master and neurospicy mum of four.

This is a deeply grounding and honest conversation about burnout, self-trust and what it really means to tend to yourself in the middle of full, modern life.

After experiencing burnout from overworking and feeling disconnected from her family, Gena shares how losing her job during COVID became an unexpected turning point and an invitation to explore a new way of living and working. What followed was a journey of experimentation, self-discovery, and ultimately, coming home to herself.

We explore the tension many women feel between constantly doing more and the deeper call toward alignment, presence and grounded clarity. Gena speaks to the experience of being pulled in new directions, the desire to create and innovate, and the importance of balancing exploration with mastery.

At the heart of this episode is a powerful reframe: “You can’t wait for life to calm down before you tend to yourself — you actually have to tend to yourself and then life calms down.” ~Gena

In this conversation, we explore:

• Burnout recovery and redefining success as a woman and mother

• Following intuitive pivots in business and life, even when they don’t feel logical

• The discomfort of slowing down and learning to be with yourself

• Grounding practices and nervous system regulation for modern women

• How to come back into your body and cultivate embodied awareness

• Motherhood, emotional regulation and how your nervous system supports your children

• Building an authentic business rooted in connection, community and trust

• Letting go of metrics and focusing on meaningful, aligned growth

• Developing self-trust, self-worth and discernment in life and business

This episode is for women navigating burnout, entrepreneurship, motherhood, or a season of transition, and who feel the quiet call to slow down, reconnect with themselves and build a life that feels deeply aligned.

In this deeply personal episode of Seasons of You, I share my journey from burnout, overwhelm and disconnection to living in rhythm with my menstrual cycle through cyclical living.

For most of my life, I tried to keep up with a fast-paced world that values productivity, consistency and output. Like many women, I pushed through exhaustion, ignored my body’s signals and experienced repeated burnout, anxiety and depletion.

Motherhood became a turning point. Faced with the pressure of trying to do it all, I reached a breaking point and began asking a different question: How can I thrive, instead of just survive?

This question led me to menstrual cycle awareness and the discovery of the inner seasons of the menstrual cycle — a framework that completely changed the way I understand my energy, emotions and needs as a woman.

In this episode, I explore:

• My personal journey into cyclical living and burnout recovery

• Why women feel pressure to operate at the same energy every day

• Understanding feminine energy as cyclical rather than linear

• The four inner seasons of the menstrual cycle: inner winter, spring, summer and autumn

• How each phase influences your energy, mood, creativity and capacity

• The impact of ignoring your cycle (burnout, anxiety, depletion)

• The benefits of living in alignment with your hormonal cycle

• Simple ways to start tracking your cycle and working with your inner seasons

This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your body, understand your menstrual cycle phases and begin living in rhythm with your natural energy.

Cyclical living is not a luxury, it is a foundational support for women navigating modern life, motherhood and personal growth.
