IIn this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche and Soul, I invite you to slow down and explore something many of us are quietly navigating - the pain of disconnection, especially in a world that values speed, polish, and performance over presence. I share my personal journey of stepping back from the noise of social media and the online world - and how, in that space of pause and embodied listening, I rediscovered something essential: the healing power of embodied gratitude as a doorway back to myself, my values, and how I share my work in the world.

In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I gently challenge one of the most harmful myths in the coaching and healing world - the idea that we need to be fully healed, clear, or perfect before we can guide others. If you've ever felt the weight of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the voice that says "I'm not ready yet", this episode is for you.

In this episode 'Trusting Your Body: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Somatic Healing', I invite you to join me in exploring how we can rebuild trust with our body’s signals - especially after trauma, overwhelm, or years of disconnection. Your body has always been trying to communicate with you. Trusting your body is not about doing it perfectly - it’s about meeting yourself with kindness, presence, and compassion. The best thing is: you can learn it - one baby step at a time. In this episode I share with you my personal reflections, client stories, and gentle somatic practices to help you reconnect with the deep wisdom of your body.

In this eye-opening episode, I talk with Adele Wimsett to explore the often-overlooked realities of hormones, perimenopause, and ADHD in women. Adele shares her deeply personal journey from working in female offending to becoming a fierce advocate for women's health after discovering how poorly the current medical system serves us. We discuss the systemic gaps in research, the impact of chronic stress on hormonal balance, and the vital - and often misunderstood - role of Progesterone in women’s well-being.

In today's episode I’m speaking to a feeling so many of us - especially sensitive, heart-led women practitioners - know deeply: that sense of stuckness. When it seems like nothing is working, and we spiral into overwhelm, self-doubt, or shame, it’s easy to feel alone and hopeless. But I want you to know this: There is nothing wrong with you. You and your felt experience make perfect sense. This is my invitation for you to find your way back to your stable, grounded, present and thriving self.

In this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Anna Pichowski - a trauma-informed yoga teacher and somatic movement Coach, and a graduate of our Trauma-informed Somatic Teacher and Coach for Women certification. Anna shares her powerful journey of navigating baby loss and motherhood, and how these experiences led her to explore embodied, trauma-informed practices. Her path has evolved over the years - from feeling disconnected and overwhelmed to finding her own rhythm, building a practice that supports her nervous system, and creating offerings rooted in lived experience and deep care.

In this episode, I reflect on the journey many of us take - from healing and recovery, into embodied empowerment, and then into the beautiful unfolding of our soul potential.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of talking with Kate Codrington about the emotional and spiritual landscape of perimenopause and menopause. We explore how we can redefine what it means to be a woman in midlife and take our power back.

In this episode I talk with Jacqueline Rose, about the profound impact of hormones on women’s bodies, emotions, and life experiences.

In this podcast episode  I discuss why traditional business strategies often don’t work for sensitive and conscientious entrepreneurs - and how more somatic and embodied business growth is the key to long-term success. If you're feeling stuck in your wellness business, constantly working hard but not seeing the results you desire - please know you’re not alone. Many heart-centered practitioners - coaches, healers, and wellness practitioners - struggle with the business side of their work, often feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsupported. I feel passionate about changing this and address it in our certifications and business programmes.

In this episode "How to Shift Your State and Nervous System & Step into Your Soul-led Aligned Life", I explore a theme that has been coming up a lot in my conversations with female practitioners in my programs and in my own life - the power of choice and the significance of certain times of the year and how they shape our healing, growth, transformation, and alignment.

In this episode "From Theory to Practice: Real-World Daily Applications of Trauma-Informed Somatic Coaching", I discuss a topic that comes up often in conversations with practitioners: how to translate the body of work we’re learning into our personal lives and communicate its benefits.

In this episode "Self-Acceptance and Self-Love: A Nervous System-Friendly Approach" I want to share something close to my heart - self-acceptance and self-love, especially through the lens of the nervous system. I know this time of year - holidays, Christmas, the end of the year - can bring up so much for many of us. It’s a time when old wounds can resurface, self-doubt creeps in, and the pressure to be “perfect” or “have it all together” can feel overwhelming and all-consuming. If you’ve ever struggled with accepting yourself or showing yourself love, believe me - you are not alone.
