    Ep 70 - Self-Development vs Self-Nurturing: A Mythic Path Back to Ourselves

    In a world that constantly encourages us to improve, optimise, and become “better,” I’ve found myself asking a quieter question lately…  What if the real path isn’t self-development, but self-nurturing? In this episode, I’m exploring the gentle but powerful difference between self-development and self-nurturing through the lens of myth, folklore, seasonal living, earth-based rituals, and goddess connection. I share my own journey, from consuming traditional self-growth content to finding a deeper sense of understanding through story, land, and ancient wisdom. Because somewhere along the way, I stopped asking “how do I fix myself?” and started asking “how do I tend to myself?” We also talk about nuance, something I feel is deeply missing in modern conversations about growth.  The truth is, we are complex beings.  We can want to be kind and still make mistakes.  We can grow without demanding perfection from ourselves or others. Through myth and folklore, I’ve come to see that even the gods were layered and flawed!  Story reminds us that contradiction is human, and that growth is rarely simple or linear. This episode is a soft, reflective exploration of:  self-nurturing vs self-development, human nuance, mythology as a mirror, seasonal living, and learning to see ourselves with more compassion. Not as problems to be fixed.  But as stories still unfolding. ✨Loving the Stories?

    Ep 69 -The Goddess Codes: Friday the 13th — You Are the 13th

    Friday the 13th has long been wrapped in superstition, fear, and shadow.  But what if it was never unlucky at all? In this episode, we step beyond horror stories and into history, mythology, and the forgotten codes of the feminine. This episode explores the true roots of Friday as the day of the Goddess - Frigg, Freyja, Venus, and the sacred meaning of the number 13 as a reflection of lunar cycles, feminine rhythms, and wholeness. Together, we unravel how the sacred feminine was slowly reframed as dangerous, irrational, and “unlucky”… and how those narratives still echo in the way women silence their intuition, shrink their power, and distrust their depth. This is not an episode about superstition.  It is about sovereignty. Inside this audio:  • The historical roots of Friday as Goddess Day  • The sacred symbolism of the number 13 and the lunar cycle  • How cultural shifts and fear reshaped feminine power  • The emotional inheritance women still carry today  • Gentle reclamation rituals to embody your wholeness   This is your invitation to remember.  To reclaim.  To sit in the circle as the 13th, whole, cyclical, intuitive, and powerful. Because Friday the 13th was never a curse.  It was a code. ✨Loving the Stories?

    Ep 68 - Oban and the Rootkeeper of Elderwood | A Folkloric Tale About Walking Your Own Path

    In the old wood beyond Ashmere, where roots whisper and the air remembers, a spaniel named Oban discovers a friendship that will change his life. When Oban begins to follow the quiet pull of Elderwood instead of the easy games of the meadow, the other dogs grow uneasy. Fear of the unknown leads them to trap Old Mossback, the ancient Rootkeeper of the wood, forcing Oban to decide whether he will shrink himself to fit in… or walk the path that calls him. With the guidance of a few friends and the help of strange woodland beings, Oban must choose courage over comfort and truth over approval. This is a folkloric inspired wisdom tale about intuition, belonging, fear, and the quiet strength it takes to remain rooted in who you truly are. If you have ever felt different, too intuitive, too sensitive, too much then this story is for you. ✨Loving the Stories?

    Ep 67 - Brave Enough to Pivot: Closing Doors, Clearing Debt & Choosing My Own Way

    This week I’m sharing the real story behind closing my membership, clearing debt and finally feeling empowered in my business. January forced me to get honest about what wasn’t lighting me up, about money, and about the courage it takes to pivot publicly. In this episode we talk recalibration, financial empowerment, brave decisions, and choosing to build something that feels true, even if other people don’t fully understand it. This is about doing business, and life, on your own terms. ✨Loving the Stories?

    Ep 66 - The Twelve Months: A Winter Folktale for January

    January often arrives heavy with expectation, urging us to move faster, decide more, become something new. But winter has never worked that way. In this opening episode of 2026, I begin not with resolutions or reflection prompts, but with an old folktale. The Twelve Months is a traditional Eastern European winter story, retold from The Telling of the Seasons, in which a young girl is sent into the frozen forest on an impossible task. There, she encounters the twelve months of the year gathered around a fire, led by Old Mother January, keeper of winter’s law and time’s turning. What follows is a story about humility, patience, seasonal wisdom, and the quiet power of asking, rather than demanding, life to unfold. After the story, I reflect on what this tale teaches us about January, modern life, and the pressure to rush growth before its time. This episode is an invitation to move gently into the new year, to trust your winter pace, and to remember that rest, waiting, and listening are not failures — they are sacred practices. This is an episode for anyone who feels out of step with “new year, new you” culture, and longs for a slower, more honest beginning. Light the fire.  Winter knows what it’s doing.

    Ep 65 - 2025 Reflections: When Life Took a Wilder Path Than I Planned

    2025 didn’t turn out how I planned it. Not in my work, not in my life. not in my heart. In this episode, I’m reflecting on a year shaped by grief, intuition, and a quieter kind of courage. A year where I didn’t plan to be making candles, didn’t expect to be pouring so much of myself into The Enchantment membership… and didn’t know how deeply losing my Grandad would change me. I share honestly about grief and how it reshapes us, the unexpected wisdom I’ve learned from my Nan, and why trusting your intuition, even when it takes you wildly off-plan, can be the most life-giving thing you ever do. This is an episode about finding magic again when life cracks you open.  About enchantment not as escapism, but as survival.  And about learning to trust the quieter voice that knows where you’re meant to go next. If your year didn’t look like you thought it would… this one’s for you. ✨Loving the Stories?

    Ep 63 - The Elm That Remembered : A Witches Tale

    Step into a haunting, atmospheric November tale rooted in British folklore, witchcraft history, and the old magic of the land.  In this original Wild Goddess story, we follow the voice of an ancient elm tree, once used as a gallows, as it remembers Aldith, a wise-woman condemned in the cold dark of winter. This is a story of injustice, transformation, and the enduring spirit of the women the world tried to silence.  A tale woven with tree lore, old charms, and the bone-deep wisdom of the season. If you love dark folklore, witch stories, ancestral remembrance, mythic storytelling, or the quiet magic of winter’s edge, this episode will speak to your soul. Content Note: This fictional tale draws inspiration from historical witch trials and includes references to persecution and execution (nothing graphic). Light a candle, wrap yourself in something warm, and let the old tree tell its truth. ✨Loving the Stories?
