This episode was inspired by a recent experience I had at a breathwork workshop in Raglan. Throughout the breathing journey I got really emotional. My body wanted to release and cry and shake and hum and it was a lot, but I felt safe and I stayed connected to my higher self throughout. She was there with me from the very beginning. I could hear her say, "let it out, let it go," without feeling embarrassed about it or like I was being judged. It reminded me that when we can connect to our higher self, that wise inner knowing, we are able to access qualities such as compassion. So I thought I would share more about higher self today, and how you can connect with yours to reach your highest potential.

You will learn about:

• What 'higher self' actually is and why it's so important
• Ways to access your higher selves wisdom
• How your higher self can guide you through difficult times
• Simple methods you can use to connect with your higher self daily
• How you can start closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be

Do you want to connect more deeply with your higher self? I'd love to support you, either through 1:1 coaching or my group program 'Lighthouse'. Please feel free to get in touch with me via email at [email protected] or slide into my DM's on Instagram.

Sign Up: The next round of Lighthouse kicks off soon on Monday 27th May, you still have a couple of days to get in! Check it out HERE.

From facing life-altering decisions to navigating daily challenges, in this week's episode I explore the power of our thoughts and how they shape our experiences. In particular, I am focusing on the world of cognitive distortions, uncovering the unhelpful thinking styles that hold us back from reaching our full potential.

By recognising these distortions, such as all-or-nothing thinking, overgeneralization, and personalisation, we learn to take responsibility for our lives and choose different thoughts that lead to positive change.

I am sure you will resonate with at least one or two of these cognitive distortions. This episode will validate your experiences, whilst also enabling you to unlock the tools to become your best self.

You will learn about:

• What cognitive distortions are
• How your thoughts impact your feelings, actions, and results
• Common cognitive distortions that may be holding you back from personal growth and happiness
• Strategies for acknowledging and validating negative thought patterns
• How to start overcoming cognitive distortions

WOW what a weekend! I took a break from the podcast last week as I really wanted time to reflect on the recent retreat that I ran at Ridge Top Farm in the North Island of New Zealand. Part of that reflection process was jumping on the mic to say it all out loud and share it with you. So, a week and a bit later, here it is.

In this episode I take you behind the scenes of the retreat, highlighting the profound impact the whole experience had on me – from arranging it and the challenges I faced, to being on it and watching the amazing women that attended build genuine connections, to my feelings afterwards and the new principles that I wish to adapt.

I also talk you through the workshops and activities we did on the retreat, as well as the incredible food that was provided for us!

Last week I talked about the most common journaling struggles and what you can do about them – if you've not listened to that episode, I recommend you start there first, because this week I am sharing ​​various journaling techniques aimed at enhancing self-compassion, acceptance, and inspiration towards becoming your best self.

The timing of these episodes is quite ironic, as recently I have been facing some challenges and needed to acknowledge the feelings that I had been suppressing. During this rough patch I have been freestyle journaling about what's been coming up for me. This was such a good reminder that putting pen to paper really is a brilliant therapeutic outlet and tool for personal growth.

In this episode the journaling techniques you will learn about are:

• Freestyle journaling
• Gratitude journaling
• Future self journaling
• Morning pages
• Scripting

If you have any questions around any of these techniques, please reach out. Journaling has truly helped me so much, and I want it to help you too.
