I call these people expanders - true every day way showers.They expand our view, they bring us hope and they show us that healing is possible. These people live from their hearts and they create positive change in their environments. So every week I will be interviewing the most inspiring people in our communities and share their journeys with us

    098: The Glitter Globe Perspective

    🎙️ Podcast Caption The Glitter Globe: Why You Can't Think Your Way to Clarity (And What to Do Instead) There's a concept I keep coming back to with almost every client I work with, and it's deceptively simple — a snow globe. You know the kind: shake it, and suddenly everything inside becomes a blizzard, and you can't see a single thing through the chaos. This offers an exact map of what's happening inside you when you're in survival mode, stuck in a trigger, or spinning in that loop of decision paralysis and reactivity that leaves you exhausted and no closer to knowing what you actually need. In this episode, I'm walking you through the Glitter Globe concept... what shakes it, how you know when it's been shaken (because your body will always tell you first), and the most important thing of all: how to become your own circuit breaker, so you can interrupt the hell loop before it costs you another week, another relationship, or another opportunity to choose differently. Here's what I want you to understand: you're not powerless inside your own experience, and the clarity you're looking for is not found by thinking harder, processing more, or outsourcing the answer to someone else. It's found by learning to settle the snow, and then looking. 🎧 Listen now Topics we cover: What the Glitter Globe actually represents and why it maps so precisely to your inner stateThe four main things that shake the globe (survival mode, emotional waves, triggers, and powerlessness)How your body signals that the globe has been shaken — before your mind catches upThe hell loop, the circuit breaker, and how to create an intentional pause inside the chaosThe emotional wave tool and how to meet yourself where you actually are, not where you think you should bePractical somatic and emotional regulation tools, broken down by intensity level Dawn LuchtFounder of The Heart-Full AcademyTransformation Guide✩ Substack - https://substack.com/@dawnlucht✩ The New Dawn Podcast -https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-new-dawn-podcast/id1538188624 ✩ Coaching - https://www.dawnlucht.com/mentoring.html✩ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/theheartfullacademy✩ Website - www.Dawnlucht.com

    095: The Inner work: Where to start

    There are times in life when everything feels louder inside than outside and where overwhelm, anxiety, and uncertainty don’t come in waves… they stick around trying to get our attention. They colour how we think, feel, and move through the world. In this episode, I talk about the deep clearing phase many of us have been moving through — and why the old “normal” isn’t returning. Something new is trying to emerge, and before it does, it’s bringing our inner world into focus. This conversation explores the most important part of the path of growth and ascension: learning not to abandon yourself. I share three foundational practices that have shaped my own journey:– becoming honest and aware of what’s arising– learning emotional regulation and staying present in the body– consciously reparenting the parts of us shaped in survival The discomfort we're feeling isn’t a problem to fix, it’s a call toward deeper love, self-trust, and inner leadership. This episode is an invitation to move from overwhelm into curiosity, from fear into presence, and from survival into the authentic self — the part of you deeply connected to your truth. If you’ve been feeling like something is shifting, but you can’t quite name it… this conversation will meet you there. To register your interest for the Emotional Wave program, here's the link.

    092: Honouring Your Energy In A World That Wants More From You - With Miriam Burrell

    Some days you wake up ready to take on the world… and other days your jumper says: “Nope, not today.” In this honest and often very amusing conversation, Miriam and I explore something many of us experience but rarely talk about openly: how we navigate our energy, emotions and boundaries in real life. We talk about the pressure to keep going even when we’re exhausted, what it means to be honest about where we’re actually at, and why emotional clarity can be one of the most respectful things we bring into our relationships. Miriam shares about returning from an intense few days away in Edinburgh and the energetic impact of being “on” with people for long stretches of time. From there, the conversation opens up into something deeper — how we honour our limits, communicate our needs, and stay truthful about our emotional state without making it wrong. Because sometimes the healthiest thing we can do is simply say:This is where I am today. An act of honesty with ourselves instead of rejecting our emotional truth. We also talk about the kinds of practices that help us come back to ourselves when things feel overwhelming — including the grounding rituals I share inside Aroma-Guide, where essential oils become simple anchors for the nervous system, helping us reconnect to our bodies, our emotions and our inner guidance. ...as a way of returning to steadiness and truth within the chaos. This episode is a gentle reminder that emotional transparency, boundaries and self-awareness aren’t selfish — they’re how we create healthier connections with the people around us. 🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever wondered: • How to be honest about your energy without feeling guilty• Why emotional boundaries actually improve relationships• What it looks like to communicate your needs with clarity and kindness Sometimes the most powerful conversations start with something as simple as noticing how we really feel.
