The New Dawn Podcast

Why Your Emotions Feel So Intense Right Now — And What They’re Trying to Tell You.

We’re living through a time when emotions can feel intense, unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming. One wave rolls into the next, and it can be hard to find our footing amongst everything we’re feeling and everything happening around us.

In this episode of the New Dawn Podcast, Miriam and I explore what’s happening beneath the surface of our emotions, why certain experiences trigger us so deeply, and how our past, our ancestry and the wider collective may influence what we carry.

We talk about moving out of survival mode, reconnecting with our hearts, and learning to listen to what our emotions are showing us rather than fighting against them. What if our emotions aren’t something to fix or push away, but an invitation to understand ourselves more deeply and reconnect with our own inner wisdom?

We also share the heart behind our Emotional Wave Program — a space to explore your emotional world, develop a deeper understanding of yourself, and find more ease and trust as you navigate life’s ups and downs.

If you’ve been feeling the intensity of everything lately, this conversation is an invitation to pause, tune in and find your way back to yourself.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why our emotions can feel so intense and overwhelming.

• How past experiences and ancestral patterns may influence our emotional responses.

• The connection between survival mode, our bodies and our hearts.

• Learning to ride emotional waves rather than being swept away by them.

• Listening to our emotions as part of our personal and spiritual growth.

• The intention behind the Emotional Wave Program and how it can support your journey.

Ready to explore your emotional world more deeply?

The Emotional Wave Program is an invitation to meet yourself with greater awareness, compassion and curiosity, and to discover a different way of being with your emotions.

Sometimes, the wave isn’t here to take us under. Perhaps it’s showing us something we’re ready to see.

Thank you for being here with us. ❤️

This audio has been updated after 2 years of testing every day I know that there needed to be more focus on what we feel - because when we feel what we want to create we can believe it's true - which changes thoughts, behaviours and outcomes.

We need something to bridge who we think we currently are and who our dreams need us to be.

Especially important for anyone experiencing imposter syndrome or wanting to become a master creator of your own life.

We can positively condition our mindset to create the outcomes we desire.

Do this every morning for 6 months and watch how your world unfolds in line with your desires.

Have you ever caught yourself standing in the middle of a pattern you were certain you'd already dismantled, feeling that flush of frustration and shame that whispers how am I back here again? If so, this one's for you, and I want you to hear it with as much love as I can possibly pour into it.

In this solo episode, I share an unexpected conversation I had in my local health shop.

What we move through together:

• Why awareness is the doorway and not the destination
• The hidden equation so many of us absorbed as children — that another person's comfort matters more than our own truth
• How to tell the difference between guilt that says I did something bad and shame that whispers I am bad
• The 4 reframes I've found to be genuinely fundamental when challenging any pattern around boundaries
• Why discomfort isn't evidence you're doing it wrong, but often the clearest sign you're finally looking your pattern in the eye
• The muscle that ends the loop for good — learning to ride your emotional wave rather than being swept under by it

The Emotional Wave — my six-week online programme — begins on the 14th of October, and it takes everything in this episode and turns it into a practice. If this resonates, you can register your interest at the link in my bio or the show notes below.

In the meantime — trust your heart, own your power, and embody your truth.

Could sleeping apart actually bring you closer?

This week, Miriam and I are talking about sleep divorce — and why separate bedrooms might be one of the most nourishing experiments a couple can make.

This episode was prompted by a beautiful listener question sent in after our perimenopause conversation (#100): how do I sleep, live, and stay myself when everyone else's energy is battering me?

We've been taught that sleeping apart is the death of intimacy, but in my lived experience it deepens it. For couples moving through deep transformation (together or individually) separate sleep spaces can become genuinely important at certain stages.

Especially as a response to what's actually happening in the body and your energetic field.

As consciousness expands, sleep stops being optional restoration and becomes recalibration, and your nervous system deserves to settle into its own process rather than spending the night managing someone else's.

In this episode we explore:

• Sleeping next to someone on a different frequency, and the energetic sensitivity so many of us are navigating right now
• Sleep divorce as an experiment in nourishment, not a verdict on your relationship
• Porousness and sensitivity as superpowers that require conscious management
• Moving out of enmeshment and codependency — the two circles and the relationship you both pour into
• Anxious versus avoidant attachment, and why separation feels like danger to one nervous system and relief to another
• Expansion points, squeeze points, and choosing your response instead of repeating your reaction
• The Emotional Wave — recognising where you are on your wave so you can reclaim choice (course coming soon!)
• Phones, doomscrolling, and falling asleep in a frequency that isn't yours
• Nighttime energetic protection — the bubble of light, the 12D shield, and creating your own version
• Loosening the rigid "shoulds" — approaching life as an experiment rather than waiting to be pushed to an extreme

P.S. BIG news. Keep next spring free, because April (@thenourishco) and I are bringing you something utterly wonderful together.

More updates coming through the summer.

Julie Piatt, known to many as Sri Mati, is a singer-songwriter, author, Kriya yogi, and founder of the Water Tiger spiritual community. After closing her plant-based food company SRIMU, Julie returned to music with her sons, birthing the project Manger from her greatest creative self-expression..

In this episode we talk about what happens when you finally stop giving your energy away to everyone else's dreams, the strange and sacred ways the universe responds when you truly surrender, and why she believes real human creativity is the most powerful force we have against the war on consciousness.

Topics we cover:

• What happened when SRIMU closed overnight — and why Julie believes it had to
• The recurring pattern of her music arriving through the darkest portals of her life
• The moment she finally surrendered to the Muse, and broke her elbow within 36 hours
• The visitation that told her: "You have everything already"
• The Golden Voice Kriya — a technique she received on Guru Purnima that restores the body to its original alignment
• Art and music as spiritual rebellion, untouchable by the forces that oppose it
• The war over consciousness, and why she chose real human collaboration over AI for her latest music video
• Why community, not content, will be the currency of what's coming
• Practical hope for turbulent times — joy as resistance, imperfect movement as medicine
• Her memoir For the Life of Me, the Manger project, and what's coming next

Trust your heart. Own your power. Embody your truth.

Miriam Burrell is a coach, speaker, and one of my favourite humans — and she's back on the podcast for a conversation about WTH is going on with Peri-menopause.

This isn't about symptoms and solutions but more importantly it's about what it actually means to move through one of the most powerful identity initiations a woman will ever experience — and what becomes possible when you see it as a an initiation into aligned Truth.

Topics we cover:

• Why perimenopause isn't happening to you, it's happening in you.
• The rage that arrives every month, and what it means to stand in that much power while walking a tightrope
• The dismantling of decades of over-functioning, over-accommodation, and quiet self-martyrdom that this season simply will not let you continue
• Why this passage will surface everything in your life that isn't built on truth... whether you're ready or not
• The anxiety that reaches straight for your oldest wounds, and why it desperately wants to write a story you don't have to believe
• What it means to have done your inner work before you arrive here, and why it's so important
• The Physical Needs of Perimenopause: sleep, strength, nourishment, and the connections that fill rather than drain
• The radical act of finally placing yourself at the centre of your own life, not as selfishness, but as sovereignty

Trust your heart. Own your power. Embody your truth.

🎙️ Future Talks When the System Fails You, You Build Something Better | A Story for Every SEND Family

Sharon Wilson and Helen Girvan are the co-founders of KyndeConnect — a development programme for parents and carers of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.

Sharon and Helen have just been awarded the Diversity and Inclusion Leaders Award at the SouthWest Leadership Awards.

In this episode we talk about the isolation, identity loss, and mental health crisis that so many SEND parents are carrying, and what becomes possible when you finally find people who truly get it.

Topics we cover:

• What drove two SEND mums to build something the system wasn't providing
• The mental health crisis hiding inside isolation — and the research that proves it
• Why connection, identity, and nervous system regulation are the foundations everything else is built on
• Radical acceptance and the inherited maps of parenting we don't realise we're running on
• Guilt, shame, and the voice that says you're not trying hard enough
• The invisible load — and why SEND parents never really get two hours off
• Why the children don't need fixing, and what it actually means for the whole family to thrive
• The difference between what mums and dads tend to need from the programme

• Their vision for government policy, National Lottery expansion, and supporting employers during Carers Week in June

The Glitter Globe: Why You Can't Think Your Way to Clarity (And What to Do Instead)

There's a concept I keep coming back to with almost every client I work with, and it's deceptively simple — a snow globe. You know the kind: shake it, and suddenly everything inside becomes a blizzard, and you can't see a single thing through the chaos.

This offers an exact map of what's happening inside you when you're in survival mode, stuck in a trigger, or spinning in that loop of decision paralysis and reactivity that leaves you exhausted and no closer to knowing what you actually need.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the Glitter Globe concept... what shakes it, how you know when it's been shaken (because your body will always tell you first), and the most important thing of all: how to become your own circuit breaker, so you can interrupt the hell loop before it costs you another week, another relationship, or another opportunity to choose differently.

Here's what I want you to understand: you're not powerless inside your own experience, and the clarity you're looking for is not found by thinking harder, processing more, or outsourcing the answer to someone else. It's found by learning to settle the snow, and then looking.

🎧 Listen now

Topics we cover:

• What the Glitter Globe actually represents and why it maps so precisely to your inner state
• The four main things that shake the globe (survival mode, emotional waves, triggers, and powerlessness)
• How your body signals that the globe has been shaken — before your mind catches up
• The hell loop, the circuit breaker, and how to create an intentional pause inside the chaos
• The emotional wave tool and how to meet yourself where you actually are, not where you think you should be
• Practical somatic and emotional regulation tools, broken down by intensity level

You have spent long enough keeping yourself small so the room stays comfortable. This Monday's reminder is a visualisation that's going to take you back to the light in you that never actually went out...it just got buried under a lot of years of making yourself manageable.

In this honest, real-life conversation, we share what happened after a tough emotional day — the mix of hormones, exhaustion, big feelings, and the confusion that can happen between two people who genuinely love each other but are trying to communicate from different places.

We talk about:
✨ Why asking questions isn’t always helpful in the moment
✨ The difference between solving and soothing
✨ How men and women often experience “nurturing” differently
✨ Why emotional regulation comes before resolution
✨ The trap of expecting your partner to “just know”
✨ Creating simple agreements for when emotions run high
✨ And how teamwork — not perfection — strengthens relationships

This is not a polished, perfect conversation.
It’s real. It’s messy. It’s loving. It’s human.

If you’ve ever struggled to explain how you feel…
If you’ve ever wanted comfort but didn’t have the words…
If you’ve ever felt like you and your partner were speaking different languages…

This one’s for you. 💬

Because relationships aren’t about getting it right every time —
they’re about learning each other, again and again, with kindness.

🎧 Listen now and let us know what resonated with you.
