Becoming Whole Podcast - inspiring interviews, heart centred converstions

Becoming-Whole-banner

Becoming Whole podcast explores what it means to live a 'whole' life, where all parts of ourselves come together - our body, mind and spirit

It can be a challenging path following your heart and intuition rather than what society expects, what school has taught us, what our friends and family want for us.

But I believe that this is the path to true life fulfilment, meaning and wellness.

In this podcast I interview creatives, yogi's and other inspirational people who talk about their journey to wholeness, the challenges they've experienced and lessons learnt along the way.

So if you're a seeker, a feeler or someone wanting more from your precious life, then tune in every fortnight.

Get ready to be inspired!

We’ve forgotten that we’re connected to one another
.
We’ve forgotten that we’re connected to the earth
.
We’ve forgotten that we’re connected to the animals
.
Ultimately, we’ve forgotten how to connect with ourselves. Our bodies & our hearts 💞
.
It’s not our fault, but it is our responsibility to come back home to ourselves, to each other and our earth✨✨✨✨

GIFTS . The gift of ‘space’ in the mind & body

GIFTS
.
The gift of ‘space’ in the mind & body. The gift of time. The gift of less things on the to do list. The gift of nature. The gift of movement and fresh air. The gift of simplicity
.
These gifts - allow intuition to come through. Normally hidden by a busy mind or ignored because well, intuition says things that can seem strange to the mind
.
I heard my soul and intuition calls loud and clear in 2011 when my hubby and I headed to South America, for what turned out to be an epic adventure over 18 months
.
These pictures were taken on a trek to the top of a mountain - San Sebastián in Chile. It was just us and nature
.
In those spaces of silence, I heard a stir of intuition. The mountains and the trees spoke to me. They said 3 things as I trekked to the mountain peak 🏔
.
1) Humans are not meant to be sitting in office cubicles all day, with artificial light, air and communication
2) It’s time for women to collaborate and no longer compete
3) People of privilege need to support and create good for those who have less
.
At the time I had no idea what this all meant. But bit by bit I’ve been creating a life around living aligned to these messages
.
Committing to the whispers of your soul and being guided by intuition is a challenging path but probably one of the most fulfilling
.
In this quiet 🤫 time of 2020, what is your soul whispering to you? How is your intuition guiding you? ✨✨✨

We’re collectively in the in-between, the void,

We’re collectively in the in-between, the void, the transition, the cocoon
.
The place where something has ended or is ending - whether that’s a job, relationships, structures, systems, ways of being, acting or thinking
.
It’s a space of free-fall, and it’s scary, unsettling, it can feel like there’s nothing supporting us
.
It’s also an incredible gift to reassess what’s working and what’s not. What’s in support of the earth, the climate, humanity, health, soul evolution and what’s not
.
But to move towards the new, we need to grieve and let go of the old. And this can be challenging. But it’s necessary
.
Just as a tree let’s go of its leaves, just as a snake sheds its skin, just as a caterpillar enters its cocoon stage
.
There’s a trust in nature that the new will come, that something beautiful will once again be born. That change and evolution is part of this life
.
The challenge that we as humans have is that we get attached to how things were or are. We fear the in-between. We fear the new before it’s certain.
.
We each go through this messy middle a number of times in our lifetimes. But right now we’re going through it collectively and individually
.
It’s a profound time ⭐️
.
My recommendation from experiencing this within my own life a few years ago, is to let yourself feel it. Grieve your old life if it’s dropping away. Grieve the old you. AND trust that the new will come, something beautiful will arrive graciously and in its own divine time. We just need to lean in, to listen, to heal what’s hurting and to trust 💚💚

I figure there’s no better time than now to launch this poddy episode 😍
.
In this episode I talk about allowing yourself to fully feel what’s arising, without suppressing or distracting
.
Allowing the emotional experience to be acknowledged, felt, accepted and nourished
.
Big emotions are arising for all of us right now. To stay well in the mind and body it’s important to let the strong emotions out
.
In this podcast I talk about one way to do this which is a mindful technique. There’s other things you can do like dancing, shaking, screaming into a pillow, throwing pillows at a wall, journalling, placing hand on your heart and breathing heavily into the feelings that are arising
.
Of course if it’s too much to do on your own, reach out for support.
.
To listen, head to the link in my bio 👆🏼 I’ve popped a list of govt resources available in my bio as well
.
Take really good care of yourself right now ✨ How can you practice speaking to yourself in a kind way, just like you would to someone you love? ❣️❣️

SURRENDER
.
Tonight’s a full moon 🌕 a time to reflect and let go of something heavy
.
To all my Melbourne friends, I’m here with you navigating these heavy times of being locked down, with masks on our faces & separated from one another once again
.
One thing I know to be true from having navigated many experiences of feeling trapped, helpless, and apathetic in the past is to know that this too will pass.
.
Although the mind may not like it, can you allow the experience to be as it is without fighting it, making it bad, making others bad?
.
When we fight what is, we create resistance, stress and anxiety. By allowing the experience to be as it is, it can help us to feel more peace in the body and mind
.
We can’t control this situation, but we can choose how we work with our mind over it 💚🌕
.
Reach out if you need support with this loves, I’m here for you x

I’ve had a bunch of people ask what it’s like

I’ve had a bunch of people ask what it’s like to do holistic life coaching with me... so I thought I’d share a testimonial with you ✨✨
.
This beautiful client came to me after having experienced severe anxiety for many years. We delved into patterns, ways of thinking, mindset, mindfulness techniques to not only get to the root cause of what was going on, but to also give her the tools and techniques to help calm her body and mind 🙌🏼
.
By the time we finished coaching together, not only did she find that her anxiety had almost gone entirely but she was able to calm and soothe herself, if it arose. She was literally glowing with confidence and capability 💚
.
I share this not as a brag 😉 I share because I love this work, i know it matters and is important, & I love serving clients to improve their relationship with themselves
.
If you feel at a loss in handling anxiety, fear & you want greater self esteem, be more empowered, capable & deeply connected with yourself and your purpose. Then let’s chat. I offer 30 min discovery calls to see if we’re a match
.
Click the link in my bio to book in & I look forward to speaking with you x

‘Like wildflowers you must allow yourself to gro

‘Like wildflowers you must allow yourself to grow in all the places people never thought you would’ e.v
.
We’ve all been cut down for being too much or not enough by our parents, colleagues, school teachers, other women, the media, the workplace. Oh my, it goes on and on....
.
But the reality is, we need each other. We grow by lifting each other up. We grow by seeing our pain reflected by another. We grow by being vulnerable with each other. We grow when we’re truly seen, heard and accepted by others, and most importantly by ourselves
.
Loving all you beautiful womxn out there. I’m with you growing, falling and growing again. Let’s be the example for the next generation x
