Have you ever felt it’s time to get up and out of a job, relationship or situation? But then start questioning or doubting yourself? Worrying that quitting somehow makes you a failure? I feel you. I’ve been there too. So in today’s podcast i wanted to share a personal story, from my time of living and working onboard a superyacht in Monaco… Yeah, i know, it’s weird isn’t it? I often get asked about my past lives, and despite there being lots of cringe moments in this one (enjoy!), i wholehearted...

In today’s podcast, we’re exploring how to take a holiday when you can’t take a holiday, with lots of low to no cost ideas to rejuvenate your cells, wherever you are. I’m sharing something i wrote in 2018 which feels….apt at this time we’re in, global pandemic and being at home… if you, like me, are yearning for a different perspective, i hope there’s something here for you to lift your spirits. Many of us social distancing still, or exploring re-emergence. I really hope you enjoy it. 🌊🌊🌊🌊💁...

Todays podcast episode is a rebroadcast of a rebroadcast called ‘new year, new meh’, which, at this moment still, wildly resonates with me, and wonder if it might do the same for you. Whatever time of year, and whatever season you're in, I hope this meets you where you are, and offers you encouragement, care and support. Whenever you 'celebrate', honour or mark a new year, just wanted to share a reminder that every day - every moment in the day - offers us the opportunity to start again, to begi...

This is a chapter preview from the audio book of my online programme ‘Take care of you: Autumn’, an interactive and immersive journey to nurture your creativity and well being and inspire you through the season. i’m so excited to be running this autumn programme for the 5th year in a row (!) - I can’t quite believe it. Thank yo...

In today's podcast, some words of encouragement for those of you on the road with your creative journeys. Perhaps you're an artist, perhaps you are someone who is working multiple full time jobs and doing your creative stuff on the side. Maybe you are living and working with limitations. Perhaps you are someone who is in this world and feeling a little bit out of place. Especially if you’ve received ‘hate’ or criticism or whatever for simply ‘doing you’… I hope these words can offer you some cou...

In today’s episode, I’m taking you with me to a balcony in the South of France. Outside - at last! I’m sharing some ideas about wonder and describing leaving home for the first time since March 2020 to return to this old homeland of mine (featuring James Baldwin) and the inevitable interconnected experience of being a working class artist… There’s an offering / prompt later in the show too, and I’d love, if you feel like it, for you to share your response with me, so we might be able to create a...

I originally wrote part of this podcast for my blog in January 2019, which bubbled up following conversations in more ‘mainstream’ platforms about the abuse of minors. I hate this is ‘relevant’ again, cause for Survivors, it’s never been a trend. Last night, i attended a community twitterspace discussing recent (but decades old) conversations around yet another person and their enablers, which, due to them being ‘high profile’ and thus granted power via systems in place, have continued to harm. ...

In today’s podcast episode…we’re going on an artist date! Well…kind of. I’m talking about this tool as a potential portal for your own wonder and delight. A way to ignite or restore your soul, perhaps charge your creative spirt, as well as nurture your yearnings and desires. We’re in the pleasurezone, baybeee! 💦 Sorry i can’t not say it that way, thank you Al Pacino!

In this podcast i’m sharing some storytime moments on what’s been going on lately. Acknowledging the deep wisdom that can come from the darkest moments. Closing the ports and bringing things back to your centre. It’s really been a practice in trust, (unlearning) hyper independence and (unlearning) masking. also practicing not hiding and taking up space through boundary explorations. playing with easy up, easy down resilience-building. and expression that feels safe (this is the sticky bit, but i...

This episode is for those of you struggling with the darkness of the winter months, who might be low on energy, motivation, struggling to keep up, or just generally have a case of the winter blues. - For those of you who suspect its something more that the winter blues, I recommend you reach out for help to feel better. Head to your doctor, speak to a therapist. Reach out for help. I’m not a therapist and this podcast isn’t a substitute for therapy. In this episode I’m offering some tools and in...

As we traverse these wild times, we’re talking about re-emergence, negotiating boundaries and body wisdom - aren’t we always? How do we stay centered as we negotiate boundaries when the news is constantly changing? What staves off the spiral? How do we feel safe and free? I have some ideas! So in today's podcast we are regulating our nervous system babyyyy with an embodiment chew! ”Whats that you might ask?” possibly with a screw-faceIt’s a mini exploration and practice we can do together, with ...

i spent so long wondering what i could possibly to say to you, as i’ve been putting off sharing this podcast with you for so long. The reason? Well, some life stuff but really, truly, i think i was scared of sharing it. i’ve been scared of making any public moves lately. a lot behind curtains, camera off, hidden places. in that process of processing, needing time to figure out what i wanted to say, then getting so tied up in worrying i’m waiting to say the thing, and suddenly weeks go by. If you...

Today’s episode is based on a piece i wrote 16th February 2021 and was reflecting on my 40th year, pondering why i get energised around my birthday, and wondering whether fear was motivating me. So we talk about ageing. And societal pressures as we grow older, and i share some insights gained from trauma-i mean “learning moments and experiences” i’ve had on the journey. Lol. I hope you’ll find it an uplifting and hopeful episode. With love and thanks for listening. From this 41 year old by the t...

It’s hard and it’s real and we can’t ignore the hard sh✨t. But staying with ourselves and acknowledging (if possible what’s there. What hurts? What can we do about it? An offering: Stay with yourself. Find ways of being with yourself in a tender, loving way. Don’t feel you have to do something about things immediately and take on every single thing causing anguish and despair or anxiety. Ask, "what small adjustment can i make to offer myself some space and support?" Let's show up for ourselves a...

“ (…) when you're working on repatterning something or unlearning or learning something new or learning a new way of being in relationship with yourself, which is everything to do with sleep and rest, right? It's about allowing, it's about enabling yourself or giving yourself permission to step into this new place, this new relationship, this new way of being, - if you're approaching that with a tension, with a kind of hostility, it's not going to feel so good. There's just going to be pure resi...
