Welcome back!
This week I am joined by Hedva Zmora, an Empowerment Coach, Alternative Therapist & Energy Healer to discuss excitement! I wanted to bring Hedva onto the podcast to share her passion of following your excitement as she really embodies this practice and teaches and shares from her own experiences.
We discuss what excitement actually is, how to tap into it, use it to your benefit and the power it has to change the course of your life. Hedva and I are both in agreement that this is something that everyone can do, we've simply not been taught how so allow her to guide you into it today!

Welcome back! In this first episode, I am joined by Elena Herminia-Steen to discuss the concept of 'safety' and 'sanctuary', what it means to us and how we have worked on finding it within ourselves, especially with the changes in our lives at the moment.
Elena also shares her beautiful experience of pregnancy and her process of claiming her sovereignty around her decision.
This episode is part one of this conversation. Look out for part two next week.

In this episode, we delve into the relationship between commitment and self-worth, and how committing to ourselves allows us to develop our own self-worth rather than looking externally for validation.

Tips on how to clear and empty your digital space so that more aligned things to come into your life.
I also share why I came off Instagram and how consuming so much information can remove and distract you from your own intuition, thoughts and beliefs.
✨ The more we look externally for answers, the less we tune in internally.
Let's start thinking for ourselves and tuning in to what WE want, not what we've been told is "right" for us.

In this episode, I dive into when we should be thinking before we speak and when to allow ourselves to speak freely. Because to truly honour our intuition, we also need to honour our voices.
How often do we silence our true desires and needs because we're afraid of what others might think or say?
How much do we censor ourselves for fear of judgement?

⚖️ Join me on this week's episode as I discuss my own interesting relationship with the masculine and feminine energy within me. From overdoing it and burning out, to doing nothing at all because "it doesn't feel right". I believe that it's a constantly adjusting balancing act with different seasons and times of our lives.
I also share how I've come to figure out whether it's my intuition saying no (tuning into my feminine energy) or resistance and fear stopping me (my mind).

In this meditation, I guide you to ground and reconnect with your body before asking you a question to help you discover what you truly think and believe about yourself.
Approach this meditation with the intention of deeper self-discovery and take some time afterwards to integrate what you find.
You may be surprised what comes up - don't judge yourself but observe and allow yourself to delve in deeper to these beliefs.
Every time you listen to this meditation, your answers may change.

After hours of voice notes over the almost 2 years we've known each other, Em and I decided to share some of our own thoughts, reflections and experiences with you too. (This will not be the last one, that's for sure!)
We talk about how our friendship has healed our sisterhood wounding and how life-changing it has been to have someone who always sees the highest version of you, especially when you can't.
Em & I have chosen to live an "alternative" lifestyle and have realised the pressures that we both put ourselves under to be a "representative" of this life to others. It's not the easy route right now because of the societies we live in but knowing you've got someone who understands a phone call away, makes all the difference.
Em shares her practice of yoni massage and we also dive into the roles that we're here to play and how we've had to learn how to get out of our own way in order to be of service to others.
✨ Em Naylor is an empowerment coach, yoni massage practitioner, ecstatic dance host and most importantly, one of my closest and best friends. I am eternally grateful for the stars aligning and bringing her into my life.

This week’s episode, I declare that my ‘Strong Independent Woman/I don’t need anyone’ era is coming to an end, why it was desperately needed and what it also showed me loud and clear.
-----
CARD PULL: THE COURAGEOUS PEONY
Multifaceted, unique nature. Let yourself be seen.
Flowers don't open and close according to who walks by. They embrace all of what they are and show it to the world around them. The peony doesn't try to compete with the cherry blossom, and the cherry blossom doesn't try to compete with the tulip - they own what they are and trust the timing of their true nature. You're being called to do the same.
It's time to open yourself up to being seen. Time to share your incredible, multifaceted, true nature with the world around you. To uncover and reveal your soul's greatest gifts without wavering. To own your uniqueness without apology. There's a flower on his planet that holds the same qualities that your soul is readying itself to express. Let it inform you.
You may have been taught that it's safer to keep your light hidden and your voice small; to hide behind the bushes instead of growing tall. The Courageous Peony is here to remind you that it's safe to embody all of who you truly are. It's safe to share your voice and let yourself be seen. At first it may feel uncomfortable and you may be afraid of what others think... but with each passing day it does become easier, Little by little you realize that it draws in those who are meant for you; and experiences you've been longing for arrive at your feet.
Self Inquiry: How are you being called to allow yourself to be more visible and seen in the world?

In today's episode, I give a little life update and share the incident that happened to me a few days ago, how I'm moving through it and the main emotions that are present for me right now: anger and shame.
Shame has been a topic that has come up a lot recently, for myself and for my clients. I talk about how shame is incredibly smart in that it stops us from allowing us to observe the needs, wants and desires beneath it.

Did you know that there's different types of intuition?
This week, I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Hillary McVeigh, a Human Design reader and teacher guiding and teaching us about all of the different types of authorities in Human Design. If you're new to HD or have worked with it before, this episode is a great introduction or reminder of how to truly work with your own intuition.
Hillary has such a grounded approach and advice to share with us so that you can feel confident in applying your design in the real world. From identifying what your intuition sounds like to you, to discussing being in relationship with someone with a different authority to you, and the difference between intuition and fear and the traps we can fall into to keep ourselves safe, this episode is filled with so much wisdom and I'm so excited to share it with you!

In this bonus episode, I answer a listener's question using my own experience in the last couple of days and giving suggestions of how to move through this challenging time:
"How do you deal with being alone when everything around you is new (there is a cultural and language barrier too) and you feel completely overwhelmed with everything, whilst there is no one who can help you."
I also cover:
The difference between having to do something and choosing or wanting to.The importance of remembering that we always have a choice.Why forcing things simply doesn’t work and the balance between masculine and feminine energy.The difference between being alone and being lonely.Why time on our own is a beautiful opportunity to learn about yourself.Box breathing.Feeling overwhelmed and noticing so that you can break the pattern, even when it feels like the hardest thing to do.✨ Remembering that if you can get yourself in a situation, you also have the power to get yourself out of it ✨

Hello from Sri Lanka!
In this episode, I share:
my first experience of true Sri Lankan spice (and how I didn't cope so well 😅)how my intuition got me to Sri Lanka, the town I'm living in and even the room I'm staying inhow sometimes we need to put ourselves in new situations to truly see how much we've grown, changed and evolvedwhy intention setting has become a key component of following my intuition and in turn, accelerating manifestationhow I energetically see how it's all linked with our physical bodieshow, intuition, manifestation, intention setting and building up that trust with yourself to step into the unknown, is all an interlinked and continuous process that simply grows as your comfort zone expandsfinishing up with a technique that Gabor Maté suggests on how to start figuring out what your most aligned self wants♒︎

This meditation guides you to connect to, and allow yourself to be flooded with, the colour red, the colour of your root chakra, and to allow its energy to start flowing through and around you.
You'll release any excess energy and return to your own purity, calmness and alignment. Notice if you feel any energy or presence near you, supporting you as you move forwards.
Today, we were joined by the crickets - the true sound of Summer ☀️

In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming my first guest onto my show: my own Mama - Katarzyna Rutkowska-Parkes, a healer and therapist. We discuss a topic that I don't feel is talked about enough: how the dynamics shift change between children and their parents as the children grow older and become adults themselves.
We also discuss how, as much as we're led to believe, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to do things and how to embark on your healing journey with an open and compassionate mindset.
(It took us 10 minutes to get this episode started in between fits of giggles so I've added a few outtakes at the end as maybe, it may give you a good giggle too.)

🩸 In this episode, I discuss the shame I've personally experienced surrounding my menstrual cycle, using my menstrual blood as a face mask and even using the words womb and yoni. I delve into the societal pressures that make us as women hesitant to freely share and express these aspects of their lives, which are, fundamentally, simply a part of our existence being a woman, for fear of being shamed, isolated or rejected. I've had enough and I'm doing my best to no longer subscribe to that fear.
Additionally, I explore the concept of authenticity and how we can sometimes put unnecessary pressure on ourselves to share when we actually don't want to. We've been sold this idea that to be "authentic", you have to bare your soul to the world, when that's simply not true. What we share, who we share with and how we do it, is completely our choice and there's no requirement to bare all to be considered genuine.
