The Space For Calm

In this episode, it's such a joy to share this conversation with Georgie Collinson.  Georgie is an Anxiety Naturopath and she is passionate about supporting women with overwhelm, stress and anxiety.  We are aligned in so many ways, including how we love to support clients to not only treat their symptoms, but to understand and resolve the underlying root cause.  This is very true for anxiety.  I love connecting with women like Georgie, and sharing in the moment, natural conversations, where we just trust that whatever comes up and flows, is just meant to at that time, and is needed and perfect for someone listening in, to feel supported.  I hope you'll enjoy this conversation, and perhaps share with someone you know who has anxiety, and would benefit from listening in too.  

You can find all details about Georgie through her website, including her 'Anxiety Reset Program' which is commencing again very soon - http://georgiecollinson.com/

Georgie is also the host of 'The Anxiety Reset Podcast'.

In this episode, I share a compassionate conversation with my friend and colleague, Steph, who also has a background in mental health, and a shared passion for emotional wellbeing, in a truly holistic way.  We both believe that caring for and knowing ways to support our mental health and our emotional wellbeing is necessary for our whole wellbeing.  We have been holding support sessions for others in our community, talking around themes of uncertainty, change, grief and loss, heightened stress and anxiety, worrying thoughts, overwhelm, and the many affects of mental health and the impact for so many, through this challenging COVID-19 time.  With our combined expertise and years of professional experience, as well as our own personal lived experiences through challenging times, we share our own feelings and emotions, as well as practical ways to manage and support ourselves, and others, to navigate these times with more calm and ease.  We hope you will feel supported by listening in, and know that as you feel your own way through these times, we are here for you, with understanding and compassion.  With love x

In this episode I talk about feeling our way through these times right now.  How we are choosing to support ourselves.  Ways we can look to these times, and changes we may choose to continue perhaps, as our new sense of normal.  How we are looking within, but also to one another with more empathy and compassion.  How togetherness through this means supporting ourselves as well as looking outwards and up, for collective healing, true connection and community.  How we are using this time, right now and not wasting it in any way.  Taking it all in, as this time will not come again.  Listen in as I speak, just in the moment, to various themes of support for calm and ease.  I hope for you to reflect on my words and thoughts with deeper awareness and understanding of yourself and of others experiences, with perspective and with compassion.  With love x

This is Part 2 of a series I am speaking to around loss and grief.  I hope to speak to these themes in an honest, heart centered, and grounded way that brings some vulnerability from within myself, but in a way that resonates as support through the truth of your own experiences.

This solo episode is the second part of this series, where I talk to how our acknowledgement and sharing of grief and loss is deeply significant in our communities, even more, right now.  I feel this must be seen for our deepening connection, togetherness, and true support as part of our collective healing.  Not only through these uncertain times, but may these changes we are seeing and living right now, allow us to have a greater understanding of all our feelings, emotions and lived experiences, of which grief and loss are a huge part of this.  We must be willing to listen and to talk about grief more openly and honestly, amongst and for us all, for compassion and for healing.

This episode is Part 1 of a series I will be speaking to, around loss and grief. 

In this series, I want to talk about grief and loss more honestly and openly, for us all.  Grief in all its complexity and layers.  Grief as loss through death, as we may know it.  Grief through all the emotions and feelings within the midst of us all as a collective, and personally in our own hearts and lives.  I want to share my knowledge for support, not only from working with others over many years through uncertainty and change in many ways, but from my own heart, as a human being who knows grief and loss, through my own lived experiences.  Something I do believe is that what we know and grow and learn and heal through, may just touch and support one person, who shares with someone else.  We don't talk about grief and loss enough in our communities, and I want to add my part in changing that, here.  Especially during these uncertain and challenging times, right now.  

I'll be sharing Part 2 of this series through this coming week.  

Very much in the moment, I recorded this conversation over a cup of tea, with my dear friend Casey.  We often share nourishing and interesting conversations together and in the flow of this unedited podcast, I'm sharing one of these today.  Meaningful and enriching conversations with people we connect with and love, are a huge part of joyful living and wellbeing.  In this epsiode, I chat with Casey about beautiful things like forest living, connecting to nature, the rythmns and cycles of our seasons, her passion for learning the art and practice of tea ceremony, as well as writing for creativity and self expression ... and lots of other nourishing things.  I encourage you to listen in over a cup of tea and imagine you're sitting with us, as friends, joining in this conversation and allow yourself to take in any insights that resonate, light you up, or just to take time to reflect and slow down.  Especially in these challenging and interesting times right now.  Perhaps this conversation will encourage you to connect with someone you love today, in a meaningful and enriching way.

In talking about tea ceremony, Casey mentioned two websites to visit and I wanted to note these here:

It's such a delight to share this episode with my dear friend, Stephanie.  Steph is a Counsellor, Mindfulness, Meditation and Yoga Teacher and we are always so aligned with our thoughts, as well as shared expertise with mental health and wellbeing.  I just love sharing conversations with her.  Here, we talk about ways we bring calm to our days, Steph shares a beautiful description of breath awareness and how supportive this can be for our whole wellbeing, we chat about the benefits of meditation, mindfulness as living with conscious intention, and ways to let go of the fear around uncertainty and circumstances and instead choosing to live in alignment with our values.  I felt so calm and nourished after sharing this conversation with Steph, and I hope that by listening in, you'll feel supported and know that you are not alone through these times.  I hope you'll also feel uplifted in ways you can choose to find calm and stillness within yourself, and take this time to consider what a peaceful life looks like and feels like for you.  Enjoy listening in x

In this epsiode, I share an authentic and nourishing conversation with Dr Mahdi Mason. Mahdi is a land and property healer, international author, speaker and environmental consultant.  We talk about shamantic healing, especially in these uncertain times, of releasing wounds and emotions to feel whole again. We talk about the benefits of property healings, the tools Mahdi uses and ways she tunes into these, and how raising the vibrational energy can shift spaces in a positive way for health and happiness. Mahdi also shares some really helpful ways we can all embrace healing in our homes right now, whilst we are spending so much time indoors, and ways we can raise our own energy to feel uplifted.  We also talk about using this time to focus inwards, to really get to know ourselves in a deep and healthy way, and how we can be a bright light to others. I felt so energised after talking with Mahdi and I know you will too, by listening in.  She is one of the most genuine people I know, with so much knowledge and wisdom, and it's impossible to not feel passionate about empowering ourselves, and deepening our own healing through our connection with nature.  Enjoy listening in as much as I loved sharing this conversation.

In this episode, I invited Lou - Lunch Lady Lou - to share this conversation with me, as we both feel passionate about supporting people to choose healthy foods, to shop in a conscious and mindful way, to know how to cook simple and healthy foods at home, to feel less overwhelm and more empowered in ways we can keep ourselves and our families nourished and healthy.  As we are all feeling the heaviness and uncertainty of COVID-19 and the limited supplies available to us, during isolation and lock down, Lou and I talk about healthy shopping choices, planning meals in advance, being creative with recipes, taking the overwhelm away and enjoying the simplicity of healthy home cooked food.  I hope you will enjoy our nurturing and nourishing conversation, as it naturally flows - in the moment and unedited - and you feel comforted and uplifted by suggestions shared here, hopeful that you can cook and care for yourself and your family during this time.  We share with love x
