This week’s conversation traces a journey that refuses to fit into anyone’s predetermined path.
Priya Gore was once deep in the world of engineering, winning national awards, designing complex wireless systems, and rising quickly through a field she excelled in. But after years of achievement, she made a decision many of us imagine but rarely follow through on: she chose herself.

In this episode, we explore what it means to walk away from a life that looks successful on paper to follow a truth that won’t leave you alone. We speak about growing up in a culture where your “destination” is often chosen for you, the courage it takes to change direction, the realities of building a creative business from scratch, parenting as an unexpected teacher, and the grief of losing her mother.

This conversation is a reminder that choosing yourself is an ongoing practice.

In this solo episode, we explore what it really means to commune with nature, as a living mirror. Building on last week’s discussion about nature’s impact on stress, I share reflections from our Choosing Woo group journey, where we created a nature mandala that bought up a lot for the women.

Animism teaches us that the world is alive and when we meet nature from that lens, we’re invited to witness the parts of ourselves we usually avoid. Nature isn’t tidy. It’s chaotic, strange, messy, beautiful, and sometimes brutal. And in the last fortnight, that same truth has been rising in me: the “uglier” sides of being human deserve attention, not avoidance.

This episode explores the honesty of nature, how our own inner edges mirror that honesty, and how communion becomes a form of remembering rather than escaping.

In this episode, I sit with my good friend Maryse, a wellbeing and confidence coach whose deepest teacher has been nature. After a devastating accident left her with a traumatic brain injury and PTSD, she found herself slipping into a dark, silent place. And it was in that silence; sitting on the earth, watching the way a leaf holds the light, that she began to find her way back.

Together we explore how nature became her medicine, her mirror, and her map. How the nervous system softens when surrounded by simplicity. How the brain, when overwhelmed, sometimes chases stimulation when what it truly longs for is stillness.
This is a conversation about remembering ourselves through the simplicity and nature.

In this week’s solo episode, we explore the crown chakra; the thousand-petaled bridge between self and something greater than ourselves.

This episode explores what it truly means to reconnect with All That Is.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The spiritual essence and energetic properties of the Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)

• Insights and reflections from the Choosing Woo group journey

• How trust, humility, and stillness strengthen our connection to the divine

Through story, reflection, and gentle humour, this episode reminds you that enlightenment isn’t about escape, it’s about embodied remembrance.

In this episode, I’m joined by Alexis Cook, an intuitive somatic coach, reiki practitioner, and medium whose journey reminds us that magic lives in the body. We explore the deep connection between somatics and intuition, how subconscious work roots us back into authenticity, and how leaving behind old patterns opens the door to new opportunities.
She shares how combining science and spirituality has become her way of helping women reclaim their power;  one breath, one body cue, one intuitive nudge at a time.

In this solo episode, we explore the third eye chakra; the home of intuition, insight, inner vision & the clair senses.

Together we reflect on what the women in the choosing woo group journey have been moving through, what I've been navigating in my own journey and some ways you can deepen your connection with your intuition.

In this solo episode, we explore the throat chakra; the energetic center of truth, expression, and authentic communication.

I share how fear of the dark and the shadow self can keep us silent, and why learning to speak through that fear is one of the most healing things we can do.

You’ll hear stories from the Choosing Woo women, my personal reflections, and practical ways to strengthen your throat chakra; like humming, singing, and speaking your truth in small, courageous steps.

This episode is an invitation to embrace your darkness, find your voice, and remember that your truth is medicine.

This episode is another guest interview with the amazing Anna Quigley- She is a spiritual seeker and after a lifetime of searching for her 'purpose', she is now coaching midlife (and beyond) women who feel that 'unnamed' inkling or urge that there is more to do for their second half. She combines science with spirit, clarity with Intuition, add in Sensory Imagination and Quantum Mind-Body techniques and this is one powerful woman!

We speak about her own journey with choosing herself and how this has led her on the most aligned and magical path, how it is more than ok to change your mind in midlife and beyond and how she guides women to do the same.

It was truly a fun and inspiring chat and if you'd love to follow along with Anna or work with her - you can find your details here:

In this episode, we explore the embodiment practices of the heart chakra in the choosing woo group journey and what it truly means to soften. I share my experience of moving out of chronic busyness, living with potential PMDD, and learning to meet harsh self-talk with compassion.

Together we reflect on being okay with rest, receiving support, and letting play back into our lives as medicine for the heart.
