The Aisling And Richie Podcast

In today’s episode of the Moving From Fear To Trust Podcast series I’m joined by Satu Ahlman of Saga Performance. Satu works with data and behaviour using genetic testing, stress and sleep analysis to help people with behaviour modifications for high performance.

Satu highlights how our lifestyles have become more evening focused with the internet and TV. The blue light emitted from our devices interferes with melatonin production which makes us not as resilient or performing at our best. She recommends switching off at least 2 hours before bed or to wear a pair of bluelight blockers or download an App like F.lux onto your devices.

With eating, it’s important to not eat 2-3 hours before bed and instead do yoga or meditation to have the best possible rest at night.

People have the misconception that to be a high performer means you have to execute all the time. Satu advocates finding a optimal stable path and still hit your goals and targets but not neglecting your health.

Important to pace yourself and give yourself times of rest.

Heart Rate Variability HRB is one of the analysis that Satu recommends to track your recovery and readiness for performance. She recommends the Oura ring to track you HRB and sleep.

There is always resistance to change within us and the fear is the underlying issue that wants to stop us. Satu recommends having short term goals with smaller steps. To focus on one simple thing each week.

Satu’s advice on Moving From Fear To Trust:

1) Focus on recovery and resiliency.

2) Choose one thing to change for the coming week.

3) Focus on the positive. Find those success stories from the week, what you can be proud of that gives you the extra boost.

Let me know what’s your biggest insight from today’s episode and what’s that one thing you’ll change to help your performance in the coming week? Share in the comments below.

As the world is in the process of destructuring it can be easy to be pulled into that and lose sight of what you want to create. I have the perfect podcast for you to inspire you to take courageous action that life is calling you to take. Even if your mind can see how it will all work out. The ego is very limited in what it can see as it’s basing it’s judgements on the past and limiting beliefs that have built up over your life. To learn to trust you need to merge with your greater self and it is my intention to find people who embody this on my podcast so you can be inspired in your life.

In today's episode I'm joined by Shane Donohoe to hear about this life altering experience of losing his wife who was expecting their fourth child.

This event catalysed Shane's spiritual awakening and put him on the path he walks today. When I was deep in the throes of grief weeks after my Mum's funeral, Shane kindly supported me with his words of wisdom and hope that I would transform myself from what on the surface was the biggest tragedy. At the time of this recording Shane was about to move with his 3 sons from Ireland to Canada with no idea what was on the other side. This episode is for you if you are in the process of taking big leaps of faith in your life.

Shane shares so many amazing gems of insights that you’ll want to revisit as you align yourself on your path. One that really stood out for me was this:

The trust is more trusting the deeper current that like a magnet is pulling you in a particular direction, that’s the current of the river of life that you can resist because it doesn’t check out mentally and you end up having forced change rather than graceful change.

On Moving From Fear To Trust Shane recommends:

A daily practice of time in nature in silence to listen internally to your inner wisdom. Over time this inner guidance comes online as you learn to quieten the mind through various wellness practices such as proper nutrition, meditation and energy work.

You'll get feelings when you practice that silence everyday and be in communion with that source of your being, the moving forward doesn't feel so scary because you feel held.

Trust doesn't happen overnight, it's a practice. Allow life to take over and release control. As you start to see results, this builds your confidence.

Take the leap and then you'll get your answers through the experience.

The mind is a tool but it's been a tyrant. Step into formless space and allow life to pour through you.

What action do you feel called to take from listening to today’s episode? Let me know in the comments below.

To your courage to leap,

P.S Shane is now settling in Canada with his three sons and is a role model for having the courage to leap into the unknown and allow life to step in and support the next step.

In today’s episode of the Moving From Fear to Trust podcast series I’m joined by Ruth Kao Barr who’s a Wellness coach specialising in stress and trauma.

What’s coming up for a lot of people is stress and anxiety with what’s happening in the world right now.

Ruth offers some helpful perspectives and tools for connecting with the gift of now.

The stress and anxiety is triggering traumas of feeling out of control, not enough resources from earlier stored memories in the body, mind and spirit.

Trauma and being triggered isn’t pointless, it’s there for a reason. It’s pointing you back to something you need to discover or to transform you into a better more resilient version of yourself.

Everything is happening for you not to you.

The gift of now

The extra time that modern life needs so you can reflect, go inward and discover who you really are.

Answer these questions in your journal

What’s important to you?

What’s your inherent value and worth that’s not tied to productivity and work?

Get curious about why you’re feeling this way?

The analogy of the caterpillar in the cocoon is really helpful as a frame of reference for what’s happening.

When the caterpillar goes into the cocoon it uses up a huge amount of energy to dissolve everything and it looks frightening and disorientating with losing all control.

But eventually this leads to the caterpillar emerging as a butterfly.

Ruth’s advice on Moving From Fear To Trust

See things through a loving lense to shift the energy of how you experience your life in that moment of fear.

Research has found what’s more stressful than bad news is uncertainty. In these times find some sort of certainty in your life. Go back to what you can control.

Ruth’s fun suggestions

Spend more time to cook, to play, spend time with loved ones and pets.

Slow down and rest your body.

Experience creativity, connect back into the arts and expression.

Get out into nature in sunlight and fresh air.

Contribute to the quality of your life.

Clear out the noise of what’s not yours and connect with what’s most important to you.

Today on the Moving From Fear To Trust podcast series I’m joined by Louise Smart who has been energy consulting for over 25 years. Her clinical and corporate experience includes: consulting at the Stress Management Unit at London Bridge Hospital; presenting wellness programs for Central Law Training Ltd; lecturing and consulting at Grayshott Spa UK in Energy Clearing and her trademark EMOTIONAL DETOX (top listed as the "fast track to healing" in Harper’s Bazaar) and running a central London practice .

In 2013,  Louise moved to Cornwall to live and work in the heart of nature right by the sea. She literally took a massive step back from life as it had been, and found her way back to herself, her soul. Louise taught herself to paint, to express her love of colour and she came alive. This took lot of energy clearing and transformation to free herself from from the dense conditioning and programming that inhibits so many  of us who are waking up to our sovereignty and soul power.

Louise discovered how to navigate internally and deconstruct her blocks and how to teach her clients to do this for themselves and set themselves free.

On today’s episode you’ll learn:

How vulnerability is a gateway to your self sovereignty

Time is an illusion and a new way of relating to this tool

The power of energy healing and emotional detox to align yourself with your true self

Louise’s tips on Moving From Fear to trust which is most important now than ever, so you can have trust to allow yourself let go of the old programmes and do the inner work necessary to create the reality you want.

Would love to hear your insights on this episode in the comments below!

I’m so honoured to be joined today by special guest Ciara Young who’s a dear friend of mine and has been instrumental in my journey of moving from fear to trust.

Ciara’s been on a spiritual journey her whole life, and known since early childhood that I was here for something very different to what the world around me was telling her.

Ciara’s spiritual journey path properly at age 4 after her first major initiation, which led her on a 20+ year journey of trials and tribulations, through intense familial trauma, and ultimately into the realisation that her purpose in life would involve healing myself and then teaching others how to become free as well.

The healing journey led Ciara to starting her own business 8 years ago, and she now works with spiritual beings from all over the world helping them to uncover who they really are and step out of the shadows of their own self-suppression so that they can shine fully in the world. Ciara’s now writing a book about her experience and has really only just begun on all that she’s here to bring forth!

Ciara’s advice on moving from fear to trust:

When you’re in a challenging situation ask life the Question you need help with and listen to the answers you get.

This cosmic evolutionary process is in motion and you can’t stop the raging river so the best thing to do is to get into alignment with it.

It’s time for a full awakening from the dream of separation to enter this wonderous reality where anything is possible.

Now’s the time to heal the age old trauma, major relationships where most of your karma is accrued and your relationship with life so you can have freedom from the dreams of the past. Which is why so much of your stuff is flushing up to the surface so it can be released.

Healing density from the emotional, mental and spiritual body all starts in the physical body. Find ways to release density using plant based foods and incorporate energy healing practices like acupuncture, yoga, pilates and any movement that feels good to you to practice as part of your lifestyle.

If you can do one thing consistently have a practice of coming home to yourself. Surrender and relax into this moment to stay in sync with what’s happening.

Now I’d love to hear from you. What was your biggest insight from today’s episode with Ciara?

Love & trust,

I’m so excited to be publishing this episode I recorded with Kim Konsten of Ruwa Coaching. At the time of recording Kim was still in her full time job as a marketer in Linkedin based in Dublin. This week Kim has taken the leap from her corporate job to become a full time digital nomad travelling the world with her partner as she builds her online business. I’m super inspired by Kim and I’m sure you’ll get a great insight from her to help you on your path.

As a spiritual self-empowerment coach, Kim helps people get clear on their purpose and what they’re truly meant to do here on earth. As a result of that that they’re able to make decisions in their careers and lives that lead them forward to a more aligned, abundant, easy and happy life.

What’s helpful to move from fear to trust?

Meditation to centre, journalling, unfiltered writing of what’s coming up, let emotions out and burn it.

Angel cards for direction for the day.

Tapping into your higher self to make choices

Coaching - having outside support that challenges, pushes and supports you.

Be courageous and get out there with who you are. Find the right voice and language that’s a mix of business and spirituality.

Do the scary thing and most of the time find out that it’s not scary it’s exciting. If you stay in your comfort zone, your energetics stay the same.

Stepping out changes your frequency and brings new opportunities into your life. Take one step at a time and it snowballs into the next thing. Remember to take a deep breathe and enjoy being you.

What’s the biggest insight from this week’s episode? Let me know in the comments!

Alex Stearn is a social media strategist , best selling author and Founder of MY PA Planner, a business and life planner and journal for entrepreneurs. I was blessed to end up sitting next to Alex at a meet up before Marie Forleo’s event for Everything is Figureoutable book launch last October in London. Like always you meet who you’re meant to meet and I immediately hit it off with Alex who understood the grief of losing my Mum as she lost her two parents only 3 weeks apart.

Alex has a lovely upbeat energy and clarity on having faith and getting your work done that I can’t wait to share with you as we enter 2020. I don’t know about you but the start of the New Year always has me in a panic of overwhelm so I’m grateful for this important reminded to create time to schedule and plan your projects as you can only do one thing at a time.

What helps Alex move from fear to trust?

A strong faith and listening to the Universe. Alex is committed to keep showing up to the process. The huge learning curve of self publishing best selling books gave her confidence.

Alex is multi passionate and felt she was lacking in an organisational tool so she created her own and launched on kickstarter in 2018 and was fully sold out in early December 2019 the demand was so high for this life changing tool.

What I’ve learned from MY PA Planner is the essential skill of time blocking in your business and career. Scheduling your work tasks like you do an appointment is a game changer in terms of actually getting stuff done. You can only do one thing at a time so having a proper planning system in place is a must if you want to reach the next level in your work and bring your dreams to life. As Marie Forleo says “If it’s not scheduled it’s not real”.

How can you simplify your life in 2020?

Map out your projects at the start of the month and plot out your tasks in a day, week and month. Personally I prefer to chunk my projects into 3 month slots and see overall how that fits into the 12 months of the year. The My PA Planner gives you all the prompts you need for this.

Alex says that fear is the most awful feeling but when you’ve got it planned out and you just do ahead and do it, trusting you’re going to be able to do it and you’ll figure it out.

Alex lost both of her parents and the fear of that happening always makes it worse. But when it happened she got through it. After their passing she feels she’ll meet them again, that their in another dimension and she’s has had a connection since they passed.

Alex changed since going through that grief, it put things into perspective, grounds you and gives you a reality check.

Intentions for 2020?

Building her brand with My PA planner and giving out valuable content. You can connect with Alex to stay tuned with her great advice for starting 2020 strong.

Alex advise for you to move from fear to trust

Self doubt, don’t go there. Be your own best friend and talk to yourself as you would your best friend. Be guarded about who you mix with so you don’t let negativity in.

You may not have all your cards but everything is possible and you can learn how to do it.

Everyone has a gift to share with the world, don’t let your self doubt squash that.

Remember everything is possible, believe in yourself and trust yourself.

What’s your biggest takeaway from today’s episode? Let me know about any tips that are going to help you with your New Year intentions in the comments below!

Love and Happy New Year,

Aisling xo

In today’s episode of the Moving From Fear to Trust series I’m joined by the beautiful Grace Blacksea of Quench Collective. I connected with Grace on Instagram after she commented on one of my posts about my upcoming book that she’d love to read it. I checked out her page straight away and immediately knew I wanted to interview her for this series. My instinct was right on point and we had the most wonderful conversation that I’m so grateful to share with you today.

I found so many similarities in Grace’s story that I’m sure you’ll resonated with as well.

After twelve years in the event industry Grace’s life came to an abrupt halt. She felt like she had hit a wall going 90 mph – her body was unable to process the extreme stress she had put it under for so long. Grace was left with debilitating anxiety, depression and physical ailments that lead to her exit from the corporate world.

In 2015, Grace started rebuilding her life – she gained her energy back, focused on her health and started implementing new practices to create a more mindful routine. In doing so, QUENCH was born, a digital community for female entrepreneurs specializing in productivity, accountability, and self-care.

As a systems specialist and wellness coach, Grace teaches hundreds of women how to build better systems in the business that help them banish burn out, work smarter not harder and put themselves first.

On moving from fear to trust Grace said that she made a pact that fear no longer lives here anymore. Life is such a gift and we are given the opportunity everyday to make it what we want it to be.

Taking fear out of the equation helps you break down a barrier to have whatever you want. Look fear in the face and ask yourself what if?

Instead of asking yourself what’s the worst that could happen, ask yourself what’s the best that could happen?

Make a decision to play a bigger game in your life. You can’t let fear have a say in your decisions.

You were put here for a reason and the world needs what you have. Share your gifts with the world and fear cannot be apart of your journey, even if it’s present.

Grace has given you a gift to help you make decisions with your time, both personally and professionally. It’s a simple guide you can use as you plan the next 3 months of 2020 and a great practice to return to each quarter of the year to keep on track with how you’re spending your time and energy. Your time is precious and it’s time to become even more intentionally with how you use it as you enter this new decade.

Now I’d love to hear from you any insights that came up from listening to this episode. Share in the comments below.

Love & intentional time,

Today I’m joined on the podcast by my dear friend Deirdre McCafferty, the owner of my most favourite restaurant Cornucopia and recent winner of the An Post Best Cookbook of the Year 2019 for The Green Cookbook which is fully plant based.

Deirdre was instrumental in my journey last year after the death of my Mum. I’d known Deirdre from my days as The Girl Against Fluoride campaign and our event we hosted in Cornucopia.

Deirdre got on the phone with me few weeks after the funeral and her words of wisdom helped me climb out of the pit of despair and find the strength to build myself brand new after the death of my beautiful Mum and my old self as my Mum’s daughter and right hand woman.

Deirdre is a lighthouse of inspiration. After setting up Cornucopia in Dublin in the early 80s with her husband Neil they brought vegetarianism to a country reared on meat and two veg. Following the birth of their two daughters and a few years into establishing Cornucopia, Neil got sick with pancreatic cancer and passed away.

The image I have of Deirdre today is a strong women who has stayed dedicated to her life’s work. I never knew what her devastation of losing her soul mate Neil possibly felt like until my own Mum became suddenly unwell and passed away after being in a coma for 12 weeks. She became my lighthouse to show me it was possible for me to not only move through the experience of grief and loss but that I could transform into a much bigger and better version of myself. For that I am always grateful.

On the theme of moving from fear to trust I delve into the topic of grief, loss and running a business with heart and passion while being grounded in the practicalities of the physical world.

Deirdre is a way shower of consciousness in the most beautiful way. Herself and Neil spent time working in the Hippocrates Health Institute in the US where they were introduced to the world of raw veganism 40 years ago. Now in almost 2020, veganism and plant based foods have well and truly entered the mainstream. Although for Deirdre it’s really about satisfying tasty food that makes you feel loved and nourished.

So many truthbombs were shared by Deirdre that I know you’re going to love so sit back with your favourite juice or warm drink and enjoy this episode. Once you’ve listened in come back and let me know your thought in the comments below.

When you’re in Dublin go have a meal in Cornucopia on 19/20 Wicklow Street. It’s such a treat and they have the nicest hot dinners and desserts around.

Buy a copy of The Green CookBook here: Click here or where good books are sold. A great Christmas gift for the plant based lover in your life or for yourself to include new plant based dishes in 2020.
