    What Are You Calling In? (S19E5)

    I recorded this episode, wrapped in a duvet at a friend's house - you can hear my voice still finding its morning register. I'm away from home seeing friends and family. Understanding my intentions for being here resonates with the question I'd love to explore today: what is it I'm calling in by being here? It's a question with layers - geographical and existential, practical and profound. In this episode, I explore: How we might recognise what we've called into our lives, both consciously and unconsciously, and how to hold that awareness without falling into self-criticism or toxic positivityThe difference between feeling overwhelmed by fullness and recognising the value in what's arrivingRumi's wisdom from 'The Guest House' and what it means to welcome everything as a guideMy curious relationship with manifestation, and why I prefer thinking about clear intentions and trusting our capacity to care for ourselves through whatever arisesWhether creation begins with thoughts or feelings (spoiler: I think my body knows before my head catches up)The thread of gratitude running through it all, and why noticing what we're grateful for helps rewire our negativity biasI also share details about the Quest for Gratitude - a free 21-day practice beginning Thursday February 26th, 7pm (UK), with a gathering on Zoom. JOIN THE QUEST: 21 Days of GratitudeOver 100 people have already signed up, and I'd love to have you there too.Settle in, and see where this conversation takes you.With love, Henny To be part of the mailing list and enjoy thoughtful connection, including live gatherings and courses https://hennyflynn.kit.com/profileYou can find everything I offer here: https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/ ★ Support this podcast ★

    Self-Talk as Self-Care (S19E4)

    The Language We Use With Ourselves Just before heading out to meet friends, I caught myself in a small moment of self-judgement: 'I'm meant to be ready already.' It's such familiar territory, isn't it? That subtle criticism we layer onto ourselves throughout the day. Recognising that moment sparked some thoughts... that led to this episode, exploring: How our self-talk is a vital part of our self-care practice, shaping not only how we see ourselves but how we expect others to see usThe origins of our inner critic — recognising whose voice we're really hearing when we speak harshly to ourselvesThe difference between self-compassion and self-indulgence, and why compassion doesn't mean condoning all our behavioursA simple journaling prompt that can reveal what shifts when we speak to ourselves with kindnessHow the way we relate to ourselves ripples outward into how we show up in the worldThis is lived work, and I share my own recent experience with the 'vulnerability boomerang' after launching my new website — a reminder that even when we teach this work, we're always practicing it too. If you'd like to explore that journaling prompt, try writing these words at the top of your page, and see where they take you: When I Speak Kindly to Myself, I See...

    Love is not blind (S19E3)

    In this episode, I share something very personal. As part of a quiet spell of sorting and clearing, Anton unearthed our wedding book — filled with photographs and handwritten messages from many years ago. Inside it was a poem my mother wrote and read at our wedding. This episode isn’t about making changes or doing deep inner work.It’s about love — how we see it, how we live with it, and the stories we carry about what it is. I read the poem in full and let it speak for itself. You might choose to listen once. Or you might find yourself listening again. With love.

    Sliding Door Moments (S19E2)

    Sometimes we arrive at a decision we fully own - and still find ourselves unsure of whether to take the big step that makes the change happen. In this episode, I explore the tipping point from preparation into activation - and the kind of care these sliding door moments ask of us. We explore: What it means when the change is ours - not driven by external circumstancesThe inner scale of decisions - how something can feel enormous inside us, even if it looks “small” from the outsideHow to stay with uncertainty with compassion - without minimising what matters to usThe brain’s pull toward the status quo - and how stress, tiredness, and overload affect decision-makingA simple journaling practice for seeing the real impact of a decision - including our hopes, fears, and the unknownIf you’re standing on a threshold right now, settle in - and see what this takes you. With love.

    Energy and Deliberation (S19E1)

    As we step into a new year, this episode explores the quiet clarity that can emerge when we move with both energy and deliberation. In this reflective, stream-of-consciousness episode, I share a short piece of writing that arrived unexpectedly — and then open it up gently, listening for what wants to be heard. You’ll hear reflections on: The juxtaposition between energy and deliberation — and how this can feel like clarity rather than conflictStrengthening the energetic trails that genuinely draw our attentionChoosing discernment over momentum, alignment over urgencyLetting go without attachment — even when something once felt rightTrusting the wisdom that grows underground, in the dark, before it reaches the lightI also share a simple Flow Journaling prompt — “As I listen ever more closely…” — as an invitation to notice what might be asking for your attention, and what may be ready to be laid down with gratitude. For now, let this be enough. With love.

    The Kindness of Boundaries (S18 bonus)

    I wasn’t planning to begin a new season of the podcast just yet — and yet something called me back. So this feels like a bonus episode. A moment of reconnection. A gentle hello. In this short reflection, I share what’s been feeling most present for me as we move through this season — particularly the intertwining of kindness and boundaries, and how deeply they belong together. I explore: Why boundaries often come into sharper focus at this time of yearHow clarity can be an act of kindness — to ourselves and othersThe quiet confidence that comes from knowing what feels OK, and what doesn’tThe beauty of honouring each other’s needs with attention and careThere’s no fixing or teaching here — just a naming of what feels alive, and an invitation to notice what might be asking for your attention too. I’ll be back with a new season in the new year. For now, this is a pause, a bridge, and a warm hello. With love.

    The Silence of Deep Presence (S18E10)

    As this series draws to a close - and as the podcast quietly passes its 200th episode - I’ve found myself reflecting on silence. In this episode, I explore: The richness of silence as presence rather than absenceThe way how we journey and arrive can shape our capacity for stillnessWhat it means to land — in our bodies, our lives, and the earth itselfThe tenderness of being alone and being cared forThe healing spaciousness that silence offersRecorded from the warmth - and silence - of my kitchen, this conversation flows gently between reflections on retreat, stillness, and the quiet companionship of being with ourselves. If silence feels like something you’re seeking - or perhaps avoiding - this may be a space to listen in and see what it reveals. With love.
