    Bonus Episode - Transforming Shame into Radical Self-Embrace

    Gorgeous Creatures, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home And it's another special feature - a bonus episode, touching one of our least embraced, and most impactful emotions - Shame.  And I promise - by the end of this episode you will have a deeper sense of not only how and why shame burrows deep inside of you - but learn the blueprint for moving through it, working with it, ultimately coming back into right relationship with yourself. The whole of you; not just the dissected parts we believe to be acceptable... In this mini, we cover:  ✨ The roots of shame from a developmental and conditional perspective ✨ The somatic, emotional and thought-entanglement that shame often involves: how we move from feeling it, to hearing the internalised self-label, to becoming "identified" with the shamed self ✨ How to identify your personal shame biog, and begin to soften beneath the sensation into greater awareness, compassion and agency  ✨How to bring the unloved parts back into wholeness  ✨And why this self-work far outstrips any desire to have another validate what you yourself have cast aside... As you will hear, this is a tender and intimately important theme - one which unchecked can block people from not only authentic expression, but professional success, romantic fulfilment and creative talent. Alchemised, brought into integration, it can be the most potent recipe for self-embrace and creating the reality that you desire.  To find ease and safety in greater success and visibility, we must first be willing to see and accept the whole of who we are. This is where we begin...  Sending love, always; let us know what lands.

    Bonus Episode: Build Radical Confidence through Consciously Facing Your Fear

    Gorgeous Creatures, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home And it's a special feature - a bonus episode, continuing our Season 8 theme of calling, and the courage to pursue it. Sit back, rest in, and join us to uncover how to build deeper, more expansive confidence in your abilities, your purpose and encountering the fear that could so easily hold you back. Until, as we do, we apply curiosity and compassion to what our fear may be speaking, and how to move forward irrespective of the temptation to hold back.  In this mini, we cover:  ✨How to build core confidence in your innate quality and limitless possibility ✨Embracing and working with fear, rather than rejecting or reacting against it ✨Letting go of outdated relationships, dynamics, ways of being and acting in the world - liberating the human you know yourself to be ✨Embracing the potential that lives beyond your doubt, scarcity or trauma - what Faith, Self Trust and Curiosity will create in your inner experience and outer world… Together, we’ll go right to the heart of what keeps most people stuck at the gateway to their deeper desire - the flight / freeze response that keeps us in convenient familiarity, over courageous ambition. Learn not only how to embrace the raw capacity you feel inside of you, but how to do so from centre, resource and regulation.  Bonus: You’ll find a beautiful little presensing meditation nestled into the heart of the episode, to support you in real time to sit with fear - until, as always, it shifts into peaceful acquiescence, familiarity and eventually, clarity on what you choose for yourself, from wholeness.  With love my friends; let us know what lands.

    Healing Through Scent: The Transformative Power of Aromatherapy with Robin Jones

    Healing Through Scent: The Transformative Power of Aromatherapy with Robin Jones Gorgeous listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home; a little moment of deep connection, where we dive into the inextricable link between mind, body and realising your most authentic self. This week, we delve into the story of Robin Jones; holistic health coach, neuro-aromatherapy expert and serial entrepreneur. A woman who, as you will hear turned to the power of scent when her own world (personal and familial) reached its own breaking point. A a mother of 8, wife and business woman facing significant health challenges, she embarked on a mission to truly heal herself from the decades of emotional and physical trauma that rippled through her family. Eventually, she found aromatherapy, and there began a lifelong passion to advance the status and availability of this ancient form of healing in modern times.  Robin shares with us the neuroscience that makes aromatherapy such a compelling trauma-support tool; how one can use scent on a daily or  bespoke basis to navigate ones emotional landscape and physical ailments; why the sourcing and treatment of oils is so critical to their impact; and the nature of her work with high achieving women, to personal tailor a medicine that will support their deeper expansion. Her own story is woven throughout - generations in the Mormon community, which she continues to serve and support with the flexibility of a modern lens.  It's a beautiful insight into not only the world of scent, but how powerful our senses can be in reshaping our experience (and perhaps success in) the world.  Episode Breakdown:  00:00 The Power of Smell: A Gateway to the Limbic System 01:01 Introduction to Finding Your Way Home Podcast 01:58 Meet Robin Jensen: Healing Through Scent 04:17 Robin's Personal Journey and Mission 06:35 The Neuroscience Behind Aromatherapy 18:06 Faith and Spirituality in Healing 41:41 The Role of Essential Oils in Emotional and Physical Healing 53:11 Custom Blends and Personal Rituals 55:02 Conclusion and Contact Information Episode Breakdown:  To connect with Robin: Follow her on Instagram: @therobinjonesConnect with her on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/therobinjonesFor more on Finding Your Way Home, including events and learning programmes: visit @ab_embodiment or www.ab-embodimentcoaching.org And if you've enjoyed the episode, remember to Subscribe and share it with a friend - you couldn't imagine the profound ripple effect your support has…  With love, always x

    Rosa Maxwell on Sacred Sexuality - Could Tantra be the Embodiment Practice you're Missing?

    Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week's episode of Finding Your Way Home This week, we explore the sacred realm of tantra, sexuality and the spiritual liberation these ancient practices may offer. We're joined by a guest as honest as she is magnetic; someone who's lived was fundamentally and irrevocably changed after experiencing Tantric mysticism.  Rosa Maxwell is the Founder of the London School of Tantra; an organisation dedicated to educating UK audiences on the profound spiritual impact of so called "White Tantra". As its lead Facilitator and private Tantrica, Rosa joins us for a deeply personal conversation - diving into the origins of this ancient practice, its spiritual and philosophical underpinnings, and why / how in a modern culture so systematically repressed and emotionally disregulated, Tantra offers a solution.  We go deeply into Rosa's personal story - exploring the early trauma that had left her numb, the low self worth and perfectionism that had ruled her experience in work and play, and the moment Tantra entered her space. It was then that the healing truly began - and she began what has turned into a lifelong mission to learn and share the secrets of this centuries-old form of spirituality.  Listen in to learn all you wanted to know about how to achieve both deep self-expression and profound connection, in sacred contact with yourself and intimacy with others. A tender and immensely insightful episode for anyone re-evauating their relationship to self, sensuality, partnership and the capacity for abundance.  To connect with Rosa and find out more about her work:  Follow her on Instagram: @rosamaxwellVisit her website: https://www.rosamaxwell.co.ukExplore the events and trainings (including a beautiful Tantra Facilitator Training, next live in 2026) at https://www.londonschooloftantra.co.uk/For more on the Finding Your Way Home team, including events and spaces at our next retreat in Costa Rica: visit @ab_embodiment or www.ab-embodimentcoaching.org And if you've enjoyed the episode, make sure to Subscribe and share it with a friend - you couldn't imagine the profound ripple effect that small act has.

    Emily Fletcher on How to Create an Audaciously Abundant Life - The Trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation & Manifestation

    Gorgeous Listeners, welcome to this week’s episode of Finding Your Way Home This week's episode marks a landmark on the podcast: showcasing the wisdom, beauty and experience of the Number 1 speaker from our 2023 Top 100 dream guest list... And she's come along, not only to share her profound insights from over a decade of meditation & manifestation teaching - impacting more than 60,000 students to date, from top-ranking CEOs and navy seals to housewives and children of divided homes. She's also here to share with us her deepest personal learnings: on befriending herself with intimacy and fierce self-compassion; on integrating "the shadow", the parts so painfully cast aside; and on how to step audaciously into the fullness of who you are and what you're here to transmit into the world.  Emily Fletcher, the one and only.  Emily is the Founder of Ziva Meditation - one of the world's leading mediation schools, supporting thousands of people across the globe to release accumulated stress, trauma and the mind/body-based limitations that keep them from inhabiting their bliss. Not only a school but a potent system, the Ziva Technique blends ancient wisdom with modern science; centred on the life-changing trifecta of Mindfulness, Meditation and Manifestation. Its impacts are extensive - physiologically, neurologically and in the dream lives her students have been able to create. As you'll hear, Emily's passion for meditation is deeply personal - it became a critical tool in the aftermath of an incredibly destabilising childhood, and a 10-year Broadway career that wrought havoc on her wider well-being. After years of study in India and the USA, "Ziva" was born - and has continued to evolve at the cutting edge of mindfulness-based healing. Her most recent programme, Ziva Magic, takes manifestation one step further - bringing deep embodiment and creation energy into the toolkit for building your abundant life, now.   This is arguably one of the juiciest, most personally-insightful episodes we've ever aired - I cannot wait for you to listen....  And dear ones - a special note. Emily will be holding an incredible live training for her global community on July 22nd.
