Tapping into...with Sarah Tobin

Welcome to Episode 1 of Season 3. Today I’m talking to Anna Mathur, a mum of 3 and a Psychotherapist, Author and Speaker. I am so honoured to bring this chat to you where Anna shares her own deeply personal story that led her to become a Psychotherapist. She talks about the last 20 years of her own therapy and how uncomfortable it's been at times – really forcing her inwards.

Anna uses her experiences of motherhood to connect with so many mums in a way that is normalising therapy and is also making it accessible through her digital courses. She drops some seriously powerful one-liners that will make you want to get your pen and write post-its all over your house!

Key takeaways:

• Our coping mechanisms become our way of life
• We’ve numbed our feelings to survive the pandemic
• The relationship you have with your therapist is key
• “Some of the best work, is the messy and uncomfortable stuff”
• “Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal”
• How we are worthy and deserving of being supported
• How to ensure our kids feel unconditionally loved….(this is a big one)
• Raising the white flag of surrender, and asking for help

About Anna:
Anna is influencing the therapy world. She is an author, public speaker, quoted so often in mainstream media and also featured recently on BBC 4’s Woman’s Hour. Anna has a unique and friendly way of sharing therapy nuggets across her social media, her own 10-minute podcast ‘The Therapy Edit’, her online courses at The MotherMind Way, and in her two books ‘Mind Over Mother’ and ‘Know Your Worth’. She is kind and generous with her time and the support she gives others and you would benefit greatly from tuning into what she has to say as it’s a wonderful way to access therapy concepts without the cost.

Welcome to Season 3 of the Tapping into Podcast.

As always with this podcast, we will be exploring a variety of different modalities and topics within the spiritual, alternative and natural world in order to help us grow, heal, and ultimately live happy lives. Often when we feel something's not right, or we feel uncomfortable in our day to day, we start 'fixing' things on the outside. We look outside of ourselves for validation, for joy, for peace, for comfort, for love. Sometimes we battle on the outside, leading to an internal battle in the mind - the never-ending negative nancy that attacks us at every turn.

What I've learnt is in order for things to change, we do actually need to go inwards to our internal world instead of just focusing on our external world. How when we do the inner development, it actually does reflect on the outside naturally and effortlessly. This also ties in with manifestation - how we can work with the laws of energy and frequency to attract into our lives what we want. 

We explore many modalities that help us navigate the internal world, like Therapy with Anna Mathur, Intuitive Eating with Lizzy Delaney, Human Design with Kay Ash Lee, Feng Shui with Patricia Lohan, Nutrition with Thalia Pellegrini, Sound healing with Emma West and I'm so excited because this season I actually get to explore Tapping / EFT with the TOP global researcher into the field, Dr Peta Stapleton. When we go internally, let go and do some healing inside, that’s when the outer world really changes. I hope you love these conversations as much as I have enjoyed having them, and if you do please follow, subscribe, share and if you can write a review!!

Also, if you are new to this podcast there are lots of other episodes to check out in Season 1 + 2.

This is the last episode of Season 2!!!

Eddie was my yoga teacher until Covid happened! We had been planning a workshop together that we had to cancel and when we met to discuss it back in January 2020 he told me his life story. I knew then I had to get him on the podcast and share it with you all.

Learn how Eddie overcomes addiction, and how yoga was a gateway for reconnecting with his true self, how he found other modalities to help him on the journey also, such as Shamanism.

Key takeaways:

About Eddie:
Eddie has been practicing yoga and meditation for 10 years whilst working within the fitness and wellbeing industry. After completing 200 hours of training at Durga’s Tiger School of Tantra, Yoga and Shamanism in Ecuador in 2018, he set up The Whole Co, a company incorporating all knowledge and experience of living well, to provide services to suit all people in all lifestyles. Eddie has lead workshops and retreats across the UK and in Ibiza, alongside offering regular yoga classes in Sussex. He believes yoga should be accessible to everyone and is eager to show how, with the right tools, anyone can access the healing benefits of yoga.

I heard Aisling was teaching women, mamas and girls about their periods in a really holistic and natural way.  And being on my own journey to try to connect with my womb more, I knew I had to talk to her.

It is never too late to have a different perspective of your womb, and if you have a daughter or work with young women please listen to this too!

In today's episode I chat to my friend Kelly Day about The Emotion Code. I'd not heard about this until Kelly brought it to my attention as it had been something she'd been using on her healing journey after she found out she had breast cancer.

She is now cancer free and has trained in this healing technique to help as many others as possible release their trapped emotions (emotions = energy in motion).

Key takeaways

Resources:
The Emotion Code (Book) by Dr Bradley Nelson
e-Motion (Movie) on Gaia TV

About Kelly:
Kelly is a certified emotion code practitioner, living in Brighton, UK, with her husband and twin daughters. She discovered the emotion code as part of her own healing journey just over 2 and a half years ago. Since then she has healed my own back pain and released many negative trapped emotions from myself which were contributing to physical and emotional symptoms. 

She was so amazed by this healing technique that she decided to become a certified emotion code practitioner to help others heal themselves too.  

The emotion code is an energy healing technique to identify and release trapped emotions from the body. Using muscle testing and specific questioning, she is able to connect to her client’s subconscious, identify a trapped emotion and release it. Sessions can be carried out using zoom video call or by email.

Join me and Sarah Richardson as we discuss Fertility, but probably not in a way you’ve heard before. Sarah is an ex midwife, single mum, worked in a fertility clinic and now an energy healer helping many women conceive their babies.

Her own journey opened her up to a greater understanding of energy, healing and the spiritual side of the world. Because of some of these topics I’m issuing a little trigger warning because we do talk about baby loss and the loss of my baby Alice also too. 

I really hope this will help you on your journey whether you have experienced loss, or are trying to conceive.

Key takeaways:

·     Sarah R’s journey to motherhood + midwifery all at the same time
·     The importance of the soul in conception
·     Conscious + unconscious conception and calling in the baby
·     Losses along the fertility journey
·     How grief cracks our hearts open
·     Past life, karma + ancestral trauma impacting our ability to conceive
·     10% of infertility is physical and the 90% is emotional, mental or spiritual
·     Inherited shame around sexual pleasure and conception
·     How birth trauma and the motherhood experience can cause secondary infertility
·     Miscarriage, adoption, IVF and more…
·     The spirituality of children being born now
·     The combination of intention and surrendering on a fertility journey
·     The surrender of death and Sarah R’s experience with deep meditation bliss

Intention shared by Sarah R:
I am fully willing and ready to release all cords, entanglements, attachements, vows, contracts, that I made in this life time, past life times, or any that my ancestors made, that I may be carrying that are no longer serving me in conceiving my baby or finding a partner.

About Sarah R:
Sarah trained as a midwife just after leaving school and becoming a mum herself at 19, Sarah worked in a busy maternity hospital in Dublin in Antenatal, Postnatal and Delivery Wards caring for the most well mums and babies, to unfortunately the most unwell.  She trained in Pregnancy yoga, meditation + mantra practices, Reiki, Crystal healing, Access Bars, Access Consciousness, EFT/Tapping and lots more.

A few years later while working in a busy Fertility Clinic and her work evolved into an alternative form of fertility and pregnancy treatment - “Sacred Conception“ – leading to lots of new pregnancies, births and babies. Her passion is to help women connect with their bodies, their sexuality, their cyclic wisdom, their menstrual cycle, their fertility and their own power.

I know how powerful the brain is, but Leyth's story really really demonstrates this in the most encouraging way.

Listen all the way to the end for a recent update from Leyth's 18 month brain scan too.
