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

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

Join Oran and I as we chat the healing power of music and creativity. Oran shares how creativity and embracing her passion for music has supported her in processing and working through her PTSD journey. 

This episode is released the day after her second single is released “Set Free”. This single really relates to her PTSD journey. The spirit of set free is based on how Oran could move from rock bottom.

Oran is a mum to 3 boys, award winning business women, wife and leader. She shares and inspires us to embrace change and creativity, a life you feel passionate about and a life filled with opportunities for self expression.

Oran is a sonic storyteller who delves into the depths of human experience. With her distinct blend of vulnerability and unwavering authenticity. Born in Australia and raised in Moray, Scotland, Oran’s soaring vocals and laid-back blues phrasing meets a refreshing delivery of powerful lyrical imagery. 

Oran began writing new album Rebellious Rebirth in the summer of 2023 (after a decade-long pause) in response to a PTSD diagnosis, following a traumatic life event. Oran found solace in songwriting and states that her writing method differs from day to day, based on the starting point; varying from a melodic or lyrical idea that makes an emotional or ‘story’ point. Lyrics take the most time for Oran, which she describes as a slow process of repetition over weeks. Oran’s lyrics tend to focus on themes of love, loss and internal struggles.
