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.
