In this episode, I explore the power of inner dialogue and how the way I speak to myself, especially first thing in the morning shapes my entire day and my experience of life.

I share how shifting from self-criticism to self-love has been foundational in my healing, and why noticing and rewriting our internal language is one of the most powerful forms of decluttering we can do.

In this episode, I continue exploring one of my greatest passions - language and communication, and how the words we use shape our self-worth, our energy, and the way we show up in the world.

I talk about the subtle, everyday ways we diminish ourselves through language. The filler words. The apologetic phrases. The habitual “sorry.” The “does that make sense?” that quietly undermines our authority.

These words seem small, but they carry weight. They send messages to ourselves and to others about whether we believe we belong and whether we trust our own voice.

I explore how language isn’t just about words. Communication is largely non-verbal -f tone, body language, energetics. But the words themselves matter deeply. They are a doorway into our nervous system, our patterns, our inherited conditioning.

This is not to shame ourselves or policing our speech. It’s to inspire curiosity. It’s to start gently noticing. It’s to begin asking:

Where am I making myself smaller?
Where am I apologising for taking up space?
Is it safe for me to be fully me?

I reflect on how much of this is passed down generationally, especially for women. How our children are watching how we speak to ourselves. How we respond to mistakes. How we look in the mirror. And how we can choose differently.

This work, for me is liberation. Coming back to who we already are beneath the layers of protection. Creating safety in our nervous systems so that it feels increasingly safe to be our true selves.

Language is one powerful way to feel this.

In this episode, I share why language has become one of the deepest threads of my life and why I’m so passionate about helping women become aware of the words they use...especially the subtle ones that shrink us.

I talk about the filler phrases and apologetic language so many of us use, “just,” “kind of,” “sort of,” “almost”, and how these words aren’t random. They are the echoes of conditioning. They are the language of the “good girl,” the appeaser, the woman taught to stay small.

This episode is an invitation into awareness. Not shame. Not self-criticism. Awareness.

I share my own journey from being a painfully shy child hiding behind my parents, to devouring personal development books in secret, to becoming a speech and language therapist, to now speaking confidently on podcasts and to groups.

In this episode, I explore:

• Why words are not neutral, they carry energetic weight

• How apologetic language subtly reinforces self-doubt

• The difference between cognitive knowing and embodied confidence

• How awareness alone begins to shift everything

• Why decluttering your language is like decluttering your home

• How we can model empowered communication for the next generation

• The link between self-worth, subconscious beliefs, and the words we choose

I also speak about sovereignty. The truth that we get to choose who we are becoming. Our personality is not fixed. Our conditioning is not destiny.

When we realise the stories in our minds are often lies… everything becomes possible.

This work is not about stifling ourselves or becoming hyper-controlled with language. It’s about embodied presence. It’s about speaking with clarity and conviction. It’s about letting our wisdom land without watering it down.

This episode is an invitation to start noticing.

Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

And that’s where the magic begins.

I'm back after a couple of weeks break to explore the transformative practice of silence and stillness. In this episode, I revisit a blog post I wrote last July called "The Portal of Silence" and share insights from my current 7-day "Settling into Silence" offering with Jemma from Goddess Candles.

I delve into the power of sitting in silence, unplugging from technology, and cultivating a deeper relationship with my soul self. I discuss how we sensitive souls and empaths can harness our unique power during these transformative times by turning inward, releasing emotions through the body, and trusting our inner guidance rather than external "shoulds."

Key themes I explore:

• The practice of daily silence and what it reveals
• Tools for processing emotions and staying centered
• Redefining leadership and showing up authentically
• Understanding ourselves as unique, essential pieces of the human puzzle
• Connecting with the essence that animates our human form
• Self-love, worthiness, and the expansive power of the heart

This episode is my call to honour your sensitivity, trust your unique path, and reconnect with the power that lies within the stillness.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I share one of my favourite annual rituals - writing a letter to my future self.

Each January, before I pack away the Christmas decorations, I write a letter to the woman I’ll be a year from now. It’s a practice that has grown from something simple and practical into a deeply loving, expansive and supportive ritual. Reading my letter this year reminded me just how powerful it is to become our own source of encouragement, reassurance and belief.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why writing to yourself can feel awkward and why it’s actually so healing

• How to create a meaningful letter ritual for your future self

• The magic of small acts of kindness towards yourself

• Reframing everyday tasks as gifts to your future self

• Using timers and tiny actions to create more ease in daily life

• How playfulness, self-compassion and intention can change how we experience our days

This is an invitation to slow down, soften, and tend to yourself... not just for today, but for the woman you’re becoming.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I’m joined by my friend Julie (Julie Bevan Art) for a chat....unfiltered “voice-note style” , the kind that usually happens behind the scenes between two women who are both parenting, building businesses, and doing the inner work.

We talk about the invisible rules we carry (“I can’t show up with wet hair”, “I have to sound professional”, “I need to be perceived a certain way”) and how much energy leaks out through overthinking, shame, and scanning for external validation. We explore the power of bringing unconscious patterns into consciousness , not by forcing change, but by seeing what’s running the show and gently reclaiming ourselves.

Julie shares what she’s uncovering about women being sidelined in art history (and how it’s lighting a fire in her!), and we move into the topic of beauty - how creating sanctuary at home, using colour, and making small seasonal changes can be an act of nourishment and self-honouring. We also talk about speaking shame out loud, talking to yourself as a taboo-but-powerful practice, and the liberation that comes from doing the “weird” things you’ve been conditioned to hide.

There’s rage, laughter, creativity, nervous system truths, and a lot of permission in here. The permission to stop diluting yourself and start living from your potency.

• The pressure to be “professional” and the exhaustion of self-monitoring

• Becoming more yourself online (and in real life) without performing

• “Potent” as potential and what happens when we dilute ourselves

• Beauty & sanctuary: colour, art, and home as a nervous system support

• Women erased from art history and why reclaiming “her story” matters

• Energy leaks: resentment, validation-seeking, and over-analysis

• Speaking shame out loud (and why it dissolves so much)

• Talking to yourself as reclamation (and why it’s wrongly taboo)

• Rage as life-force: safe release practices (the “swamp” / emotional release)

In this episode, I talk about one of my favourite quotes of all time...Carl Jung’s
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
It’s the quote that has guided me and inspired me over the last few years.

I talk about how awakening, whether sudden or gradual, cracks us open. How the patterns we’ve lived inside since childhood finally surface. How unsettling, exhilarating, and wildly liberating it is to see the “water we’ve been swimming in.”

I talk about how awakening can make “normal life” feel incompatible, how our sensitivity sharpens, how we sense people’s energy beneath their words, and how belonging shifts.

And then… that next Jung quote:
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
I love this one too. This is really it, the path and the true liberation.

I share about awakening, questioning the narrative, reclaiming the true self, dropping the masks, dissolving the inner prisons, and stepping into authenticity, a vibration even higher than love. And why this matters for the rising consciousness on the planet right now.

I also discuss my current offerings:
✨ The Gentle Guide to Decluttering (free)
✨ Wild Simplicity: The First Step (masterclass)
✨ Declutter a Drawer — 1:1 Session (festive price)

This episode is a call to all of you out there who are peeling back the layers, dropping the masks. Here's to letting go, and to the magic that arrives when we stop calling our unconscious patterns “fate".

In this episode, I invite you to check-in with yourself. This one is a reminder for me, for you, for all of us navigating the mental load, expectations, and heightened energy of this time of year.

I talk about the importance of pausing, reclaiming our attention from our phones, recognising resentment and overwhelm as signals, and finding micro-moments of presence throughout the day.

I share how I’m practising time away from my phone, simple somatic practices, and the power of sitting down, literally, as an invitation to breathe. This is a reminder to return to ourselves before the world pulls us outward.

In this episode I explore:

• How December hype, pressure and mental load impact the body

• My own phone habits, sharing accountability, and why I’m putting my phone away in the hallway

• The resentment, overwhelm and cultural expectations around women carrying the invisible load

• Why we must advocate for our peace

• Simple practices for slowing down:

  • Hand on heart

  • Havening

  • A 10-30 second breath

  • Sitting on a park bench or a different chair as a cue to pause

• How to access stillness even in crowded, noisy environments

• Using shakers to release energy if you’re highly sensitive or have been around lots of people

• Reclaiming your December by simplifying, delegating and letting go of ideals

• Remembering the beauty of the season without abandoning ourselves

• Returning to your inner untouched pool of stillness and the wild simplicity within

If this episode resonated with you, I'd be so grateful if you subscribe and leave a rating/review. If you feel called to share it with someone who you think might benefit, I'd love for you to pass it along.

Thank you for being a part of this adventure and exploration :)

Until next time, Anna xx
