Three Sixty Conversations

Hello and welcome!   In this episode, I explore the concept of the "mother wound" and how it can impact personal growth and entrepreneurship.   I discussed what the mother wound is, how it manifests, and explore strategies for healing and moving forward.   I cover: What the mother wound is how it can impact personal growth and entrepreneurship. How the mother wound can affect our beliefs about ourselves, our relationships, and our abilities. Examples of how the mother wound can show up in our lives and the impact it can have on our entrepreneurial pursuits. Tips for recognising the mother wound and strategies for overcoming it. Strategies for healing the mother wound, including therapy, coaching, self-care, and setting boundaries. The importance of forgiveness and how it can be a key factor in overcoming the mother wound.   I hope this episode has been helpful.   Remember, healing is a journey, and it takes time and effort, but it is possible to learn how to heal the mother wound and achieve success in all a

Is your deep inner work a help or a hindrance?   I am fascinated by the way our unmet needs show up in how we live love and work. I am especially interested in how they impact our work as what we do to make a living has a huge impact on our lives!    The whole 12 + we spend in school is all about preparing us for the world of work.   In this episode I am sharing some thoughts on the way 'deep inner' work can be resistance and a subconscious attempt to re-enact familiar patterns from childhood.    If your deep inner work is keeping you stuck, it's holding you back.    I'd love to hear how this landed with you.   P.s. I am hosting a 2 day online event to help you stop (over)thinking and start doing. Info here [LINK]

Hello you, welcome to the first interview in my recently rebranded podcast!   Today I am joined by the wonderful life and business coach Ruthie Zerai Semere.   In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about the difference between healing for growth and healing as a ruse for resistance. This conversation was inspired by a conversation Ruthie and I had about the ways we have seen the people we work with unconsciously avoid taking action because they get stuck in their healing process.    We explored the reasons why this may occur and how protective patterns from childhood impact our growth or avoidance.   We also touch on our experience as daughters of immigrants and how our blackness affects our approach to healing and growth work. Of course we  talk about the ways in which our toxic productivity and people pleasing served us and why it had to be released in order for us to embody our healthiest adult selves.    It's a really gorgeous conversation. I am delighted to share it with you.      About Ruthie: Ruthie

I am evolving and so is my podcast!   Welcome to the newly rebranded, Work less. Live more podcast.   In this intro podcast episode I'm sharing the shift in focus of my podcast and my work.   Here is the quote I shared in this episode:   "Only from a capitalist viewpoint being productive is a moral virtue, if not a moral imperative. From the viewpoint of the working class, being productive simply means being exploited" - Silvia Federici

In this episode I share how childhood adaptations become maladaptive in adulthood. The way we learn to cope with caregivers that aren't meeting our need to be whole can look like what we call self sabotage and limiting beliefs in adulthood. However they are maladaptive coping strategies and protection mechanisms.   These patterns of behaviour can make out attempts to grow and develop our businesses feel like a threat and trigger our learnt survival responses.   Ultimately these things limit our ability to develop self-belief - our beliefs shape our reality.   On Friday 23rd September I will be teaching a masterclass about the skill of self belief and practical ways to create new beliefs at my Embody Your Future NOW mini virtual retreat - plus a whole lot more.   Details here [LINK]   Connect with me on instagram [LINK] Find out how to work with me [LINK]

Welcome to this beautifully nourishing conversation with Jazreena Harlow on being your radiant self.   In this episode Jazreena and I talk about the importance of allowing ourselves to be held, why representation matters and how we are all part of a collective whole.   We also talk about being soft and how complex it can be when you are a Black woman. We also explore the significant energy required to go against your conditioning to heal and do things in a new way.   Jazreena is an Inner radiance and self connection coach. She is a multi passionate creative who uses a dynamic mix of modalities  (sound alchemy, human design and brand creatrix). The aim is to inspire you to step into the core essence of who you are, to live in full expression with vibrancy and truth. Jaz utilises sound healing and human design to help you feel safe enough to meet yourself in truth work and how you’re here to shine.   At the beginning of the episode I shared some information about my, 'Essensual flow' workshop and guided meditat

Welcome to the first Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk where I have the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation with a wonderful guest.   Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk, begins with a body scan (you can join in too if it is safe for you to do so). The conversation is guided by whatever comes up in the moment for my guest. There are no interview questions, no set script and hardly any editing. Pauses and process time - the things that make us human are deliberately left untouched.   In a fast-paced world of expeditious efficiency and trying to do things in the shortest time possible I offer an oasis.    An oasis where there is no race to hot takes or intensity. Our conversations take the time they take and my guests and I have space to be our perfectly imperfect human selves.    Today I am joined by my friend and resplendent human being, Sas Petherick for my first heart-led conversation.   In this conversation, Sas and I talk about sisterhood, discernment and the precious care friendship

I've been having thoughts about how power impacts self-care and how I would like to help change this experience with my new immersive hybrid life and business group coaching programme, Emancipate Your Business for details click here [LINK].

I wrote some words to share with the wonderful humans in my Sovereign group coaching programme as they are doing such courageous work to create more helpful ways of being.   Then I thought about some of the issues in the world right now and how they can distance us from how courageous we are being as we journey towards healing our inner relationships. So I thought I would share these words with you too.   Thank you for the inspiration Sovereign queens. I see you and honour you.

Another day another podcast!   Today I am talking about the difference between the protective pattern of attachment that enables us to survive and connection that allows us to feel safe.   At the end I asked these questions: What does safety mean to you? What does safety feel like in your body? What sensations tell you you’re safe, where do you feel them? Who are you with when you feel these sensations of safety? Where are you when you feel them? What are you doing?   I mention Sadie Tichelaar, Gabriella Espinonsa the Non-Linear Movement Method, Billy Ocean.    I also mention my Sovereign group coaching experience which is open for enrolment until Friday 17th December 2021.

I have had a number of conversations with women about struggling to find a coach, mentor, therapist that can hold their 'bigness'.   These are often sensitive women, even though they may not view themselves that way. They tend to have big energy, big feelings, big emotions, big views, big wisdom, big power but don't know how to hold and channel it. This is usually because we are conditioned to play small and not be too much.   This feeds into feeling like you are simultaneously too much and not enough. As such this can create an environment where people say that they were unable to work with whichever helping professional because they couldn't handle how big they are.   However, when I think about my life experience and coaching practice what I think is happening is that people with big feelings etc are under-skilled and unable to hold their power as they, like most of us have been conditioned to play small.   As such, they unconsciously make other people responsible for their bigness. This way they c

I am back with a rebranded podcast. Today I am exploring fearing what we desire most and how this can lead to self-abandonment. "Abandoning ourselves to care for others makes us lonely and reduces our capacity to truly give and receive love. It’s a pattern that’s incredibly hard to identify because it is a sophisticated shapeshifter that can provide immediate gratification and at times makes us feel righteous".   I invite you to join me in providing an olive branch to hurts we have internalised by engaging in an exercise to offer healing to a (light) wound from the past.   Big up to my friends Cee and Sareta who inspired me to stop waiting to restart my podcast when I listened to their new podcast, "Women Who Rebrand"   I mentioned Peter Levine, listen to him talk about trauma here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1RnTipiU_Q   Connect with me on Social media here.   My life-changing group coaching programme Sovereign is open for enrolment until 10/12/21.

Welcome to episode 91. I am joined by Nicky Clinch, Maturation Coach & Facilitator, Spiritual Mentor, CEO & Entrepreneur. Her mission in life is to help people break free of the confines of their past traumas, self-defeating patterns and suffering so that they can realise, and come home to, who they truly are.   Nicky shares how maturation supports us to be present with and heal trauma so that the wounded stop inflicting wounds on the wounded.   We speak candidly on how this work helps people dismantle racism, become actively anti-racist and close the gap on separation.   There are many mic drop moments in this conversation about the messiness that is coming home to alignment.   Full show notes including resources and people mentioned here.

Welcome to episode 90! Today I am joined by award-winning Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist and Wellness Coach, Claudine Thornhill, founder of Claudine J. Thornhill Nutrition. Claudine which supports women to eat well, feel well and live fully. Claudine helps women have better periods, address womb health issues and transition through perimenopause and menopause with ease. In this episode, Claudine shares information about nutrition and the ways food can support us in highly stressful situations. The conversation evolved into a healing dialogue about the ways systematic racism impacts black people from code-switching, second-guessing and internalising micro-aggressions as a means to navigate the complexity of being a black professional.  We explore the ways this method of protection could be stored in the body as fibroids and stress-related illness.   Full show notes here.   This podcast is not a substitute for medical advice or a consultation with a professional nutritional therapist.
