    WELCOME TO MY NEW PODCAST

    Welcome to my new podcast.  I have rebranded to Oak and Thorn Ceremonies and have changed my podcast name too-  Why Under the Bough? It is evocative of sitting under an old oak tree whiling away the hours talking to a good friend and putting the world to rights. I hope you’ll agree with me when I say, that's what creating this podcast feels like.. grounding, safe and a perfect way to pass some time Website Instagram LinkedIn Facebook

    DYING MATTERS WEEK - MAY 2026 - IN CONVERSATION WITH SHARON BUCKLEY

    Sharon Buckley is a Grief Therapist and Burnout Specialist for women in perimenopause and beyond navigating life, responsibility and loss. A member of the ACCPH (Accreditation Council for Counsellors, Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists), certified in Edu-Therapy™ Grief Resolution and a qualified Therapeutic Art Practitioner, Sharon works with women who are holding everything together on the outside while quietly falling apart underneath. Sharon’s approach combines structured grief resolution, burnout coaching and therapeutic art — working at the intersection of grief, burnout and perimenopause because she knows from the inside what it costs to carry all three. She works online via Zoom and in Suffolk. Sharon is also a finalist in the Muddy Stilettos Awards 2026 for Best Wellbeing Specialist in Suffolk & Cambs. Winning would give her a greater platform to educate people about grief and help more women feel less alone. Votes are open until 26th May — every vote counts. suffolkcambs.muddystilettos.co.uk/awards/vote/ https://sharonbuckley.com/ hello@sharonbuckley.com   IG: @theemotionalpainhealer   https://www.womeninspirednetwork.com/

    Dying Matter Week 2025 - Talking About....

    Very personal funerals. Tamara and Sian lead us through parlour funerals and how they can be so uniquely personal and actually very easy to arrange.  Give yourself space and time to organise a good send off. Give yourself time to grieve in a way that honours a life well lived.  Enlightening chat about just some of the things you can arrange for a final goodbye   thank you to  Dulcie, Tamara and Sian for their company and insight. You can contact them here    Dulcie James @celebrant_dulcie  Tamara Burgess @celebranttamaraburgess Sian Allen @magpieceremonies    AND  I am here  www.funkycelebrant.co.uk  @michelle_funkycelebrant

    IN CONVERSATION WITH FRIENDS

    when a group of friends come together over cheese and wine in front of an open log fire and conversations start to flow.... We explore friendship in our 50's and 60's, how they, we have evolved and what we would tell our 25 year old selves.  It's amazing how a group of diverse women can come together with commonality, shared self doubts and on some occasions self loathing, but allow themselves to be lifted by their friends.  Recorded ahead of IWD 2025, bonds of friendship seem even more important these days.   thanks to Jo, Angie, Sher & Hels for indulging me with raw honesty and vulnerability.  I adore you all x
