The Art Of Listening To Your Body

Some podcast conversations stay with you long after they’re recorded… this is one of them.

Elle Brown was one of my very first sceptics. 

A health practitioner working with a functional medicine doctor, she still had chronically elevated liver enzymes and low vitamin B, iron and vitamin D. Then I invited her to explore something different: her emotions. This is the story I recommend again and again, and it's worth listening to with curiosity, whether it's your first time or your fifth.

Episode highlights

• Elle didn't blindly believe in the process. She questioned it, and yet she was still willing to give it a go.
• Through coaching and the Release Process® Elle uncovered emotions from her past that she'd never allowed herself to fully feel.
• We don’t always know what our bodies are holding, particularly when we’ve spent a lifetime being the nice girl, keeping the peace and doing everything we are supposed to do.

Elle’s life has continued to blossom in so many beautiful ways, and I feel incredibly privileged to have witnessed her journey.

I encourage you to follow Elle and the beautiful work she shares with the world. She really is such a beautiful soul and energy.

In this week's episode I handed over control to my support coach Kylie. We talked about everything from me being a pharmacy bound teenager to becoming an Osteopath, the two people that made me question everything and why clients can feel challenged in my world. 

Episode Highlights:

• What Holistic really means 
• Obsession can be a double edged sword
• This work is meant to be felt, not understood

From Kylie:

My favourite quote from this interview: “Your body is not just your physical body, it’s your body of life.” I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes chat as much as I did. x

In this week's episode Victoria Birchall is here to share what has unfolded since she left her 26 year NHS career as a pharmacist to dive deeper into her healing journey through breast cancer, mastectomy and antiphospholipid syndrome that led to her embracing creativity and the feminine path.

Episode Highlights

• Foggy exhausted mornings became a thing of the past once she reduced stress
• Choosing the treatment that felt right for her on her cancer journey
• Poetry, painting and a book were borne out of the space she gave herself

What if the thing you call lazy, is actually your body asking for what it needs?

In this episode I explore the valuable art of napping and why so many of us struggle to let ourselves rest, no matter what chaos is going on in our lives, or how many different ways our body may be crying out for sleep.

Episode Highlights:

• Vitamin C is never the first response 
• Recurring dreams or nightmares may be a message
• There is such a thing as good exhaustion

That groggy feeling when you wake up after a day nap is actually a good thing!

Episode Highlights:

• What letting go really looks like 
• The guilt spiral involved in putting yourself first
• Working less does not mean earning less

Vanessa is back to share what happens when you trust the slow, boring work of letting go… one property, one career and one accountant at a time.

What if the most boring parts of your day were actually the most important?

In this episode I share what unfolded during an unplanned hour of pulling weeds with my husband and how it turned into my own realisation on why negative emotions are just weeds waiting for the right conditions to be pulled.

I unpack the connection between weeds can be pests or medicine, much like unprocessed emotions that can seem like a pest but can carry real gifts once unraveled.

Episode Highlights:

• Boredom is the birthplace of creativity
• Reframing negative experiences as weeds, and why the timing matters
• The laundry sorting ritual
• Tribute to former guest Leslie Lau and his book, Pulling Weeds and Folding Laundry

If you are waiting for the right time to step into emotional processing, then this episode is for you.

Last week I shared a short update about one of my private clients that I almost didn’t post. This week, I'm following up… because what happened next changed everything.

This episode is her story, not mine, and is about what it looks like to hold onto trust and receive support during hard health journeys and what happened when her results came in.

Even her oncology team were surprised.

With her full permission and so much gratitude, I am sharing what she shared with me.

A client on a cancer journey, a drug affecting her white blood cells, and an oncologist’s warning her that one thing had to change if she didn’t want to cancel her holiday.

What if money were a person in your life… a friend you could invite over? 

Would it know it was going to have fun hanging out with you?

In this short excerpt taken from my recent 3 day experience The Cycles 2.0, I invite you to reimagine your relationship with money the same way you would any other relationship in your life. 

Highlights: 

• The way you talk about money shapes the relationship you have with it
• The difference between chasing money's energy and actually building capacity to hold it
• A gentle challenge to look at what you've spent money on 

This isn't about budgeting. It's about noticing the emotional undercurrent beneath every dollar you spend, and choosing to build a relationship with money you can actually trust.

Links and Next Steps::

This is an excerpt from a 3-day experience The Cycles 2.0. It is still free, and invites you to create emotional capacity, clarity and self trust so that you can build a life that reflects who you really are.
