#066 - What if your fear isn’t a bad thing, but rather a supportive, guiding sign from your soul? In this episode, I talk about how you can use fear as a compass to move in the direction of your dreams. The secret is getting quiet enough to hear the loving voice of your intuition, and then being courageous enough to act when it comes. We end with a guided meditation on courage, which is a beautiful way to start your day and instill courage in your heart - so that you can lead with love.

#065 - In tough times, we may wish for magic and for someone to take away our pain. But even if that were possible, it would deprive us of a beautiful opportunity for growth. For me, depression has been a call to awakening, and the density of that has challenged me to the depths of my being, but all so that I could reach a better place - emotionally and spiritually. It’s important that you feel all your big feelings - and even welcome them. But through it all, you have a choice: You can lean deeper into despair, or you can lean into love. In this episode, I share a softer way to navigate depression - with gentleness, kindness and compassion.

#063 - In this episode, I'm giving you a short, sweet and loving dose of self-care by sharing a practice you can use to anytime to soothe anxiety when it arises. It's a self-holding technique that releases tension, regulates your nervous system and deepens relaxation. I often use this heart and belly hold when I’m meditating or breathing, in Savasana, or before I go to sleep at night. When I was suffering with severe anxiety, it was my saviour to calm down and connect to my body. To put it simply, when you're anxious, this practice can help you feel safe again.

#062 - How often do you pause and take the time to make it all matter? Or are you always "on" and stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, exhaustion and "never-enoughness"? In this episode, I'm talking about how the magic is in the present moment. When you take the time to slow down and celebrate all that you are and have achieved, instead of moving straight on to your next big goal or dream, you call back your peace, presence and power. This episode ends with a mantra meditation to calm and centre you, right here and now.

#061 - Something that we use every day is our imagination, and it's the natural creative energy of the Universe in motion. We're always manifesting, whether we realise it or not, but to manifest what we really want and bring our dreams to life, we need to be intentional about where we're focusing our thoughts and our energy. This is where Creative Visualisation comes in.

I even used this method to manifest my dream wedding day!

In this episode, I show you how it works, and guide you through a vision-making meditation. This is one of my favourite feel-good practices and I hope becomes your go-to tool as you build your dreams.

#060 - Let me ask you this. Do you have a spiritual practice that you stick to? Or do you find yourself dabbling? Maybe you have good intentions and start well, but you easily fall off your path? Either way, in this episode, I want to bring the idea of a consistent spiritual practice into your consciousness, as we step into the first month of the year, so that you can find peace and feel good now.
