In this episode of Womanhood, I share my personal story behind my own self-reclamation — from small-town confidence (being a big fish in a small pond) to the discomfort of expansion, and ultimately into the soul-led embodiment of her midlife era.

If you've ever felt like you’re playing small, stuck in relationships or situations that don’t fit, or carrying a deep, silent sense of “not enough”… this episode is for you.

I dives into:

• The “Big Fish, Small Pond” dynamic and how it shows up in midlife

• Why shame is the hidden root of women’s shrinking and self-doubt

• How to meet, express, and transform shame into embodied confidence

• The truth about confidence: what it really is, and how to own it from within

• The Queen era of midlife — where freedom, power, and sensuality are reclaimed

This is a call to rise — not just for you, but for the women watching you.

In today’s episode of Womanhood, we dive deep into the single most transformative skill that changed my life—and that I now teach every woman I work with. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, overwhelmed by overthinking, or disconnected from your true self, this episode is for you. You’ll learn why the mind keeps us in survival mode and how reconnecting with your body can return you to your power, your clarity, and your joy.

We explore how our culture teaches women to suppress, freeze, and disconnect—and what it really takes to create internal safety, release frozen tension, and come home to yourself. This isn’t about performance—it’s about raw, wild self-liberation. This is your invitation into a sacred rite of passage, through the shadows and into sovereignty, aliveness, and feminine wholeness.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why disconnection from the body is at the root of feeling stuck, lost, and overwhelmed

• How cultural conditioning leads to emotional suppression and mental overload

• What happens when you start to feel your body again—and why it’s so powerful

• The importance of a daily devotional practice to build inner safety

• How to meet your inner world with loving curiosity and compassion

• Why pleasure and pain are both essential parts of your feminine wholeness

• How this rite of passage supports you in creating a life that feels deeply alive

Mentioned in This Episode:

• The Feminine Flow devotional practice—your starting point to reconnect with your body (available now)

• My signature 1:1 experience, Womanhood: The sacred rite of passage & self reclamation for midlife Women

Join the Movement:

Womanhood is more than a podcast. It’s a sacred initiation. If you’re ready to reclaim your truth, your joy, and your aliveness, this is your invitation.

Contrary to popular belief, confidence doesn't come from taking action.

Because when you take action from an energy rooted in "not good enough" you will always be moving from fear & misalignment.

True, unshakeable, effortless confidence is a felt experience and it is found in the somatic (body) release of shame. It is creating a foundation of self sourced safety & trust within yourself and then taking action.

Tune into how I spent years taking action from my fears and how I lost it all, to turning it around and becoming a woman in right relationship with myself, grounded in energetic safety & emotional intelligence, with effortless confidence - and how life got so much easier!

WOMANHOOD - Bespoke 1:1 Coaching

My signature experience where you come into divine & right relationship with yourself… and everything else aligns to you.

It is the portal where self honouring comes first. Where you meet, own & love every part of yourself, cultivating the freedom to fully express yourself and live life on your terms.

Today's episode is candid and unscripted, following a post I did last week about releasing the trauma I had inherited from my Mum. I recieved quite a few personal messages about this, so thought I'd open up about my experience of how I:

Spent my 20's & 30's numb, unaware of the trauma I was carrying

My life fell apart with the end of my marriage

And how through feminine embodiment I was able to release the trauma stored in my body, gain awareness and insight that it was not mine to carry. So I released it, with love, back to the past where it belonged.

I share this because it was the part that I played in the breakdown of my marriage. My subconscious patterns of keeping the peace, avoiding conflict and deep seated fear of men meant that I was walls up, lacking self worth and unable to consciously participate in the relationship. And I don't want any woman to have to experience this.

Our mothers did not have the tools to process pain & trauma, but we do. I believe that this is such a big part in why divorce rates are so high and I also know that there is no way that I was passing this onto my kids. 

If this resonates with you, and you're ready to release what is not yours, drop me a message. I'd love to hear your story and explore how I can support you.

You're ready to remember who you are, to feel the glow of your soul, the power of your truth, the sway in your hips and the desire in your heart... Yet at the moment life just feels confusing, you're not sure who you are any more and let's be honest, its hard.

That confusion though, is a message. It's a message from your true self, your soul, giving you information about what is not right for you anymore. And when we see it as an invitation, we can begin to unravel what's not ours and return home, to ourselves.

These are the 4 key steps to get you there!

I was recently on a Q&A Panel at a Women's networking event and I was asked:

"What manifestation tools would you recommend?"

I could see the crowd waiting intently to find out the next new thing that would help them manifest there desires... but the thing is, there is only one thing that you need, and that thing is you.

Your life is the manifestation of who you are being. So, if you want to manifest more or different then you need to be willing to become the embodiment of your desire first. Then you are an energetic match, the right frequency and your manifestations come to life. And if you want to go faster..... then tune in to find out how!

What if, everything you desired in life happened as simply the norm for you? Like you expected it - of course you're going to get what you want.

Our life will reflect the standards that we hold for ourselves, within ourselves. When we set the bar so low for ourselves, such as when we are living in survival mode, we end up living a low standard of life. Just surviving, just scraping through, because that is the norm and that is what we expect.

It's time for you to raise the bar for yourself, what you expect for yourself and open up to the delights that life has to offer you, simply from being a Woman who takes responsibility for what you are creating in your life and embodies the higher standards she desires & deserves.

We've all heard of the midlife crisis - the season where you re-evaluate everything in your life. It feels uncomfortable, scary and maybe even painful. It's the unnerving realisations & wondering "Is this it?" It becomes a crossroads where we can get stuck, sometimes for much longer than we would like to be stuck.

Rather than this being a crisis, I believe it's your soul, higher self telling you (sometimes screaming at you), it's time to stop dishonouring yourself and start taking back your power. This is the season of power and wisdom, and you have it all within yo.

So, tune in, to find out what I did to turn my midlife crisis into my midlife power - and how you can too.

In today's episode I am diving into the archetype of the Armoured Woman, who is so common in the midlife season. The Armoured Woman comes across as strong & independent, but really, she's exhausted from being on guard all the time, her relationships are disconnected & shallow and she doesn't know who she is anymore. 

Taking off the armour can feel scary because it means that you have to go an meet all the parts within you that you have been avoiding - but in this you find your power, you remember who you are, releasing past pain and opening up to receive the love, connection & depth that you have been yearning for.

Tune in to hear my personal experience with taking my armour off and the signs that it's time to take yours off too.

Let's face it, midlife doesn't conjure up very sexy connotations... and I'm here to change the narrative. It's time we stepped up and accepted the invitation and initiation into this season as Women - where we embody the fullness, freedom & wisdom that only a woman with your knowledge, lessons and experience can feel.

It's a time to become the Woman you know you're meant to be, and midlife is extending the invitation... but are you willing to take it? It's a wild ride, but so worth it.

I'm here to guide all women who are choosing to put themselves first, and step into their most powerful era yet.
