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!

‘Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again’ Thich Naht Hanh
.
We try to think our way out of situations & out of bad feelings, & we try to ‘work’ through it with our minds. But we forget about the breath and the body. But this is where the freedom is. It’s not in the conscious mind
.
Taking deep belly breaths through the day is medicine ✨✨✨

Fear . Not a sexy topic but it’s such a big part

Fear
.
Not a sexy topic but it’s such a big part of the human experience
.
For me, fear used to envelop me and swallow me whole
.
The more I tried to fight it. Push it away. Make it bad. The more it increased in intensity
.
It wasn’t until I learned mindfulness techniques to change my relationship with it, that it loosened its grip
.
So the way to do this is to allow the fear to be felt. I know that this sounds counter intuitive, but allow it in
.
Fear is there to protect you, to keep you safe. Nothing is wrong. Nothing needs to be fixed. .
And when we see fear in this way. Just nature protecting itself. The experience becomes less personal, we’re not controlled by it, and the body softens
.
Try it 💓Change your relationship to fear. This is a game changer 🙌🏼

Whether that’s learning to play the guitar, drawing, yoga, a new language or practicing compassion, mindfulness, truthfulness, kindness, or patience
.
Thing is, we can also unknowingly practice frustration, greed, intolerance, racism, impatience

What we practice grows stronger. And the beauty is that we each have the power to choose in every moment 💫💫💫

Super excited to be launching this new program this week 💫

Held | radical self care for uncertain times 🌸
.
This is a 4 week online course, incorporating yoga, meditation and breathwork, designed to support you to connect deeply with yourself through carefully created classes that connect your outer and inner world. There will also be self care tools, journal prompts, along with community support and 2 live coaching calls
.
When we’re confronted with uncertainty and fear it’s important to build a deeper relationship with self. We can’t change what’s happening outside of us, but we can influence our inner world
.
This course is a mix of two of my loves - yoga and coaching. From coaching women over the past 3+ years, I know firsthand how transformative this work is. I can’t wait to share it with you if you feel called

Oh my what an illusion the concept of ‘control’ is. The mystics, yogi’s, spiritual traditions speak of this. And so many of us are experiencing it firsthand at the moment
.
Many of my clients have reported feelings of frustration, impatience, & helplessness more than ever right now
.
Because in our day to day lives, we can ‘feel’ like we have control over everything
.
But really the only thing we have control over is how we respond to what’s happening & our relationship with ourselves
.
When we feel like we’ve lost control we can blame others, project, shout, or go to a place of helplessness or victimisation. But none of these things changes the situation. It just strengthens our feelings of unhappiness.
.
There’s another way. And that is of letting go & acceptance. Practicing this has had a profound impact on my life! This means accepting that there are many things outside of our control. And when we truly accept what is outside of our control, whilst trusting that all is ok, a wave of softness & relaxation is able to come through
.
Because ultimately what we resist persists. What we push against, make bad, judge, causes us more pain. Let go of what you can’t control. And let be. And if you feel you can’t, ask yourself ‘what’s stopping me?’✨✨✨

There’s a lot of fear out there. And fear, like

There’s a lot of fear out there. And fear, like a virus, spreads. But what if we could take a moment and see the gifts in this experience...?
.
When we connect more deeply with ourselves we may realise that we’ve been secretly asking for this time to slow down from the busyness of day to day life
.
To have a break from all the ‘things’. To spend more quality time with the kids. Spend more time at home cooking, gardening, reading. To start a new hobby. To go slower in the morning. To learn a new skill
.
When so many of our usual distractions and entertainments have been taken away, we get to see what’s left. It may feel uncomfortable to be in this place. We may try to resist it
.
But can you notice the gifts? Notice the simplicity? What can you truly appreciate in this more simple existence?

I remember thinking years ago, before I ventured on a personal growth path, that working in a job that paid well, but that I didn’t really like, was just what you did. I felt like I didn’t have the choice to live another way
.
But, simultaneously there was another voice inside, saying follow your joy, follow your dreams. Be curious
.
And then one day, I decided. I made a choice to finally listen to the second voice. To the voice of my heart & soul. It didn’t really make sense at the time. My mind was scared to take a leap of faith. To do something out of the ordinary. Worrying what other people might think. Worrying that this would be the wrong decision
.
But I kept coming back to a mantra I’ve lived by since childhood ‘no regrets’. I don’t want to die feeling that I should have done all these things in my life
.
I feel that this time in isolation has given us that very rare opportunity to truly listen to that internal voice
.
If you’ve been hearing that inner murmur inside, then the next step is to take the action. Just take one step. One step towards what it is you’d like to create, design, develop, explore, do, give, become
.
In every moment we have the opportunity to stay in our comfort zone. In the mundane of the day to day OR to listen to the call & take the first step
.
Because after all this is your one precious life, what are you waiting for? 💚✨💚
