Today's episode is a contemplation about reparenting while parenting and what that entails, what it looks like, and how it evolves with us as parents over time.

I would love to hear your musings on this or your experience with reparenting while parenting. What struggles are you faced with in recent weeks in your parenting? What's coming up most strongly?

Remember, none of us know what we're really doing, we're all just feeling our way as we go. Deep breath, and shower yourself in love and compassion wherever you may find yourself on your parenting and/or reparenting adventure!

This week's episode came about from a few interactions recently with my almost 8 year old daughter and her observations and curiosities about me. I posted a Reel on instagram last week about this and wanted to share a little more. I would love to hear your stories and thoughts and feedback as we all continue learning and unlearning.

Thank you for listening - you can follow along with my musings and explorations on Instagram @wildsimplicity or go to my website www.annaday.ie to sign up to my newsletter where you can also find my latest offerings.

I have three women's circles coming up over the next couple of months - the next one is on March 26th at 8pm on Zoom and there will also be one on April 23rd and May 27th.

If you would like to come and sit with me in my curiosity and questioning and exploration of this wild and wonderful life then please do join us x

In this week's episode I'm talking about the power of going into the depths of our emotions, specifically those emotions we tend to try and avoid, the so-called 'negative emotions' and the power that awaits us when we allow ourselves to speak it all out, what's irritating us, what's going on for us right now, what's driving us nuts, what's making us angry, all of it, letting it all out and really going there.

I would love to hear your thoughts and if you're really feeling like you're 'in it' at the moment.

In this week's episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast I share an image I have of a personal "ballot box" filled with golden tokens, representing acts of self-resourcing and self-love.

You can join me on Instagram @wildsimplicity for more inspiration and follow along as I navigate my journey of wild simplicity!

In this episode I speak about perfectionism and how I've moved from Perfectionist to 'Recovering Perfectionist' as I dance the path of imperfection and messiness!

This episode was originally recorded in May 2023....and then perfectionism hit, and something happened with the audio and I couldn't find the original recording so I thought, ok I'll just rerecord this at another date. And I still haven't almost 2 years later and I've just come across the episode waiting in my drafts section and have reluctantly listened to it.

So in the spirit of my recovery from perfectionism I am releasing it into the world in its imperfect form! Ahhhhh. Enjoy and I would love to hear any feedback you have (not so much on the crappy audio/tech issues!) about the episode. Thanks for listening and see you next time :)

If you're interested in exploring more about the topic of 'Voice & Courage' which incidently is wildly linked to this episode (the universe works in mysterious and wonderful ways bringing this episode back into my awareness now!)....I'm holding a women's circle on Wednesday 26th February on Zoom from 8pm - 9.30pm and then theme is Voice & Courage. Come and join whether you have the courage or not to share your voice. You are welcome to come along and listen and witness without sharing. If you'd like to join you can book your spot here:

In today's episode I am joined by the wonderful Jemma of Goddess Candles.

Jemma and I chat and reflect on how our offering called Settling into Silence came into being, how the journey of exploring silence began, and our experience of our first group which finished up a couple of weeks ago.

We discuss:

• ​The power of silence in a group
• ​Embracing and welcoming our individual experiences
• ​What it feels like to start our day with silence

We also speak about our upcoming Settling into Silence that begins on Monday 25th November 2024 at 7am. We will be gathering on weekday mornings for three weeks and exploring silence together as we enter into the beginning of the festive season.

If you would like to join us in our play and exploration to see what silence can bring you, then you can book your spot on my or Jemma's website:

In this episode I share an interesting image that came to me in meditation last week! ...and I share an update about Wild Simplicity and what I've been decluttering :)

In this episode I talk about silence and how I've been exploring silence, sitting in silence, and getting curious about what silence has to offer.

I've been so intrigued that Jemma from Goddess Candles, and I will be offering a space to come and join us to explore and play with what it feels like to be in silence as a group. No requirements, no expectations, show up as you are, all of you is welcome. Whether you're in your car, on your couch, in your bed, anywhere, come and join us.
