Nature always surprises me. From skulls in ancient woodland to talking rocks and my ancestors supporting me. This podcast shares the difference between Forest Therapy and Medicine Walks. 

Forest Therapy, Shinrin Yoku is a Japanese-based therapeutic experience of connecting with nature mindfully. With so many science-backed benefits.

Medicine Walks support communicating with nature intentionally to share wisdom and insight. 

Both are so powerful, listen to my bizarre and wonderful experiences and let me know if you have tried either and what your experience was? 

If you wish to book a session for either of these. Simply reach out. 

With Love

Susi xx

From the outside corporate high flyer and party girl on the inside Susan was struggling mentally and emotionally with her party loving lifestyle. From dark days post nights out to now loving her sober life. Susan shares her journey to finding balance. No longer moving from the highs to the lows and back again. 

Retrained, and in a new era. Her wisdom and experience is something to be shared. 

With Love

In this episode Stuart (susi’s husband) interviews her on her experience of living alcohol free. From losing friends, navigating grief and releasing past selves, to discovering a life I never knew was possible. 

Finding clarity, empowerment and managing emotions, alcohol free living gives me so much and it's something I have never looked back on. 

We hope it may support and inform. 

With Love

Susi xx

This episode discusses themes of alcoholism. 

Join Stuart and I as we chat about Stuart's sober journey. This series is set to help inspire, educate and share vulnerable stories and stories of success with sobriety. For many sobriety is a lifestyle choice for some recovery from addiction. Stuart’s shares his recovery from addiction/illness and how it has led him to a life where he inspires others. 

Alcoholism is an illness that can affect anyone. For many alcohol is a coping mechanism and Stuart shares how hitting rock bottom really made him take stock and make changes.

Podcast Notes Cycle Tracking

Cycle Tracking is something I believe all women should do if they are menstruating at all ages. I share how to easily track, how you can use your cycle to support you and more. 

This podcast has been a long time coming. I have mentioned it so many times and I know you have all been keen to hear then I forget. But I always come back to wanting to share this process with you as it is something I have found completely invaluable. 

This process has given me such a deep understanding of myself, built more compassion for self and self love. It has enabled me to speak confidently to my doctor about my perimenopausal symptoms. To enable me to understand my mood and emotions and how these relate to my cycle and also to plan my work and life better so I am showing up best for myself and others. 

I do have to say this is not an overnight process and does take time to build a picture. You will find it so fascinating and powerful once you connect and tune in.

Find additional support below. Feel free to share, ask questions and reach out. 

With Love

Susi xx
