    Awaken Your Life: Gift yourself tiny moment to make 2026 your year (S15 E12)

    What if making 2026 “your year” didn’t require more effort, just clearer boundaries and kinder self-leadership? In this Christmas Eve episode, we explore how to protect the intentions you’ve set, why saying no is often the missing piece, and how to begin the new year gently rather than in a rush. You’ll also be guided through a short self-care ritual you can do on Christmas Day or in the quiet space between Christmas and New Year. If you’re ready to make 2026 feel more like you, this episode is your invitation to start softly.

    Louise Rogers... Yoga, meditation and why the changes that age bring can make all the difference (S15 E10)

    This week I’m joined by the deeply calming and quietly powerful Louise Rogers, a yoga and meditation teacher, whose presence alone is enough to make your shoulders drop. Louise has spent over three decades practising yoga, over a decade teaching it, and more recently deepening her work in meditation, nervous system regulation, and midlife emotional wellbeing. In this conversation, we explore what it means to really meet yourself, understand your emotions, and listen to the quiet inner nudges so many of us learn to ignore. Together we talk about:✨ The “speed bump” of midlife, and why so many women feel confused, exhausted or unsure✨ What happens when productivity stops being your identity✨ Why slowing down can feel confronting, and how to begin anyway✨ Reclaiming self-trust when you’ve spent years prioritising everyone else✨ Why anger often shows up in midlife (and what it might really mean) Louise also shares her beautifully honest story of discovering yoga in her twenties, her first silent meditation retreat in India, and how her practice has evolved as she’s grown, changed and (her words) “become more grown up”. If you’re in a season of rediscovering who you are, or you’re craving more grounding, compassion, and inner steadiness, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

    Ali Clifford and Saffron Darby... Mending, Connection and why unexpected events can lead you to beautiful places

    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by two super women: Saffron Darby, textile designer, tailor and founder of Meet Make Mend, and Ali Clifford, creative mentor, sustainability champion and founder of incredibusy , and the genius behind the sustainably, UK-made Salvage Speed Loom. We talk about creativity as connection, the gentle power of hand-stitching, and how crafting alongside others opens up the most unexpected conversations. We also share the story of how my beloved learned to darn (and now carries around a mending kit), how my 13-year-old fixed his own pyjamas with a bright pink patch, and how I repaired a jumper knitted my mum made, and reclaimed the joy in having it back in my life. We get into: The beautiful serendipity of how Ali & Saffron first met The rise of visible mending and why it matters How Meet Make Mend became a lifeline during lockdown Why handiwork opens the door for deeper connection Sustainability, slow fashion and what repairing clothes teaches us about ourselves If you’ve ever wanted to mend something you love, or you crave more creative connection in your life, this episode will warm your heart.

    Letting Go Before You Take On More (S15 E7)

    You can’t pour into a full cup. This week we practise letting go so you have space for what truly matters. Before you add one more intention, try releasing the things that aren’t yours to carry. In this episode we explore how letting go creates the space you need to welcome what matters, with a short exercise you can use this week. Bring your list along to The Retrospective on 16 December for some added inspiration! 👉 For more about Awaken Your Life: https://quietthehive.com/courses/awl📱 Instagram: @quiet_the_hive

    Judy Andrews... Post-it notes of joy, self-belief and the power of optimism

    In this uplifting conversation, I chat with the wonderfully optimistic and creative Judy Andrews, (designer, writer, and self-belief mentor), about what it really means to believe in yourself. Judy shares how her creative journey began with post-it notes of positivity during early motherhood, and how that evolved into her design studio, Tickety Boo, her beautiful book Wonder Journey Joy, and her Self-Belief Project. Here we explore the connection between creativity and confidence, why self-belief is the foundation for everything, and how play, journaling, and vision boarding can help you reconnect with who you are. You’ll also hear how Judy’s personal manifesto became a grounding guide, and why writing your own might just be the most powerful thing you do this week.
