The Space For Calm

In this episode, I talk about holding space for all our feelings and emotions.  Every feeling we have is valid.  Every emotion needs and deserves acknowledgement.  Especially, and even more so, during these uncertain and challenging times.  I also speak about my belief in 'less as more' and how pressing pause, stepping back, and taking time to reflect, might be the most supportive thing for you, right now.  I feel passionate about all of this as true compassion and support for our whole wellbeing.  Personally and collectively.  I hope this 'in the moment' and unedited episode will feel supportive to you, in some way.  

In this episode, I talk about speaking our truth in way that heals not harms.  I think we can misunderstand what it means to speak our truth.  We may even misunderstand vulnerability.  I feel it's so important to have self awareness, and to understand what speaking our truth really means and how it feels for us, personally, as individuals.  Then we can speak and express ourselves from this truthful space within, where it's healing and supportive, for ourselves and for others.  I believe this is so necessary for our mental health and mental wellbeing.

I love sharing these in the moment, unedited, real conversations with guests on this podcast.  Today, it's such a joy to share this heart opening conversation with Hayley Carr.  Hayley is a 9 X Karate World Champion, and Life & Leadership Coach for high peformers.  She has a very special and unique way of turning things upside down and inside out, and when you take it all in, it just makes sense.  As with this conversation and many others with Hayley, I am always left with much to ponder, reflect on, question, things that may challenge me, things that make me see myself and life in a very different way, or a new perspective.  

There are so many things we talk about in this episode - too many to summarise - but all so deeply relevant, for us all as well beings.  I just encourage you to listen in with curiosity, openness, and with a pen or pencil, to write down all the insights that will come up for you, as they always do for me.  I just love being around Hayley - her energy is magnetic, she's honest and open,  and she's one of the most powerful and compassionate human beings I know.  I feel deeply blessed with her presence in my life.  I know that by listening in, you'll feel empowered to liberate your life, and believe that you can when you are willing.  As in her own beautiful words 'the life you crave is so much closer than you think'.

Lean in, listen in and enjoy x

A few words to share from her website: 

A 9 X world champion martial artist, a girl who once suffered for a long time with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (and used these tools to deal with it once and for all) - and a vintage vespa-riding, country dwelling tea enthusiast.

I know the pain of going around in circles mentally with myself without action for years on end.

I know the elation of breaking through glass ceilings over, and over again to reach heights people only dream about - as well as the dark side of that high achievement.

And I know the hurt or beauty a single sentence can bring. Especially as a coach.

Imagine if you knew just what to say and how to say it, to help someone completely transform before your eyes from functional, to exceptional. Not just with “hope it helps”, but with certainty you can break through anything.

To support them through things you’ve never necessarily been through yourself even, because you understand what’s going on beneath the surface, at the unconscious level.

Imagine having that level of understanding, and influence.

It brings me to tears.

This is what NLP does.

I'd love to have a conversation with you x 

In this episode I talk about holistic healing - how seeing and feeling ourselves as whole beings is a huge part of this.  I talk about empowering ourselves to find our own meanings around healing and wellbeing, through challenges, changes and transitions.  I believe in wholeness as the essence for us all, as well beings.  I believe in seeing past limitations and ways we may define ourselves, through circumstances in life, and instead, to embrace our wholeness, and our willingness to know and understand that healing resides within us all.  I hope you will feel supported through my words and reflections shared here.

In this episode, I share a beautiful and compassionate conversation with Karly Nimmo.  You may know Karly as a No. 1 iTunes podcaster of two podcasts right now: Karlosophies and Rock Your Mic Right.  

Karly is many a thing really, as a multi passionate woman, and in her own words, she is "a serial entrepreneur, mad creator, born communicator and connector with a crazy knack for getting you to connect to your truth and see life from a different perspective".  Our conversation today brings all these qualities and more to light, and I am so grateful for all that Karly shares with me here.  

We talk about so many things, including mental health and wellbeing, along with Karly's own experiences living with depression and ways of supporting herself.  Karly shares beautiful thoughts and reflections around creativity and self expression as the essence of wellbeing for her, and how expressing herself openly and sharing her truth allows her to be completely herself and to find harmony in life.  There is so much in our conversation that is heart opening, enriching, meaningful and supportive for anyone listening in.  It's such a joy to connect with compassionate human beings like Karly, and to share these valuable conversations, to encourage all aspects of wellbeing, for ourselves and with one another.  

I hope you will enjoy listening in and you can find both of Karly's podcasts and more details about connecting with her at: https://www.karlynimmo.com/

In this episode I talk about self acceptance as a beautiful opening for change.  So much can shift and change from this space of ease and inner trust within, where we can listen to all parts of ourselves, and know what it is we truly need.   I hope this episode brings you comfort and support.

In this epsiode, I talk about the deep importance of quality connections and relationships with others.  The need for deep listening, acknowledgement and for creating space for trust.  The need for true presence with one another, and how we all can create more time for quality and meangingful relationships in our lives, around us, and amongst us all in our communities.  I believe quality relationships and being present for conversations, is so important for healing, for all aspects of wellbeing, and for true compassionate support.  As a wellness practitioner and a coach , and also just as a human being, I feel passionate about changing the way we engage and interact with one another, and I always hope to be a small part of making significant changes to the ways we can all be more present, willing, and available for each other.  It's in this gift of quality time with another where acknowledgement and compassion resides.  I believe and feel we need more of this than ever, right now.  Listen in with an open mind and open heart, and I ask you to reflect and ponder on my thoughts and feelings here.  I also hope this resonates and feels supportive as a listener, for you.  

In this episode, it's such a pleasure to share a conversation with my beautiful friend Lou, from Lunch Lady Lou.  She's a delight in so many ways and it's wonderful to share her inspiring message here, around everything to do with cooking stress free, delicious meals,  with simplicity and with joy. Lou inspires me greatly with her creativity, passion for cooking and teaching cooking in a fun and simple way, all of her recipes, cooking classes and online courses.  She exudes enthusiasm and a zest for life, which is all very contagious and I honestly believe we all need a little, or a lot, of Lou in our lives.  Cooking is for everyone, and learning to love cooking,  'celebrating the basics', and making conscious choices around healthy and wholesome food, is such a necessary part of embracing wellbeing.   We talk about so many wonderful things in this very 'in the moment' conversation, which is unedited and recorded just as it all naturally flows.  I know that by listening in, you'll feel not only inspired to get into the kitchen, but you'll see cooking in a new way that's simple and fun, and you'll want to check out all of what Lou shares and her delicious recipes too.   

Lunch Lady Lou is a self taught cook and recipe developer.

In this episode I talk about supporting ourselves through anxiety.  Anxiety is something that so many of us feel.  I mention just a few ways that come to mind, to manage anxiety in a way that may support you.  Knowing this isn't extensive, and we are all unique individuals and what supports one person may be different to another.  Like anything, anxiety asks for and needs a truly holistic and personalised approach, as part of wellbeing.  I hope you find something that resonates here for you, and I encourage you to listen to what you feel will truly support you.

In this episode I talk about the ways we can support ourselves, and receive support, for our wellbeing.  Support is necessary, and there are many ways we can seek, find, and choose support.  I talk about receiving support from others, expressing and articulating our needs, knowing what true support means for us, as well as the difference between external support and external validation.  I also talk about the empowering ways we can support and trust in ourselves and how necessary this is, as part of being a well being.   I hope you enjoy listening in.
