Have you noticed it yet? That subtle shift as we step into Summer — the longer days, the buzzy energy, the pressure to ‘make the most of it’, the sudden calendar creep. For many people, this season feels both expansive and exhausting. You might be feeling: More social, but also more overstimulated More energised, yet strangely tired More ‘alive’, but also a bit scattered or easily overwhelmed Excited… and on the edge of burnout at the same time If that’s you — you’re not alone. And you’re not doing Summer wrong. You’re simply feeling the fire. Because Summer isn’t just a season — it’s an energy, and it impacts everything: Your emotions, your sleep, your clarity, your joy, your boundaries, even your digestion. Summer, through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine, is the season of Fire. Joy. Passion. Movement. Expression. But it can also mean… Overheating. Overcommitting. Scattered energy. Emotional spillover. Burnout. In this episode on I Love Me The Podcast, we dive deep into how you can honour the fire without letting it consume us. You’ll learn: 🔥 Why Summer’s energy can feel exhilarating one moment and draining the next and how to recognise when you’re tipping out of balance. ❤️ How to care for your Heart — the ruling organ of Summer — so you feel grounded, calm, clear, and emotionally steady. 🧭 Why boundaries matter even more in Summer and how the Pericardium (your Heart’s protector) helps you discern your yes and your no 🧊 How to cool, hydrate, and nourish your body with foods and practices that keep your inner temperature regulated and your energy stable 🌀 The emotional invitation of Summer and how to align with the joy, creativity, and connection this season naturally awakens ✨ Simple, powerful, heart-led practices to help you stay open, joyful, present — without burning out. If you want to feel clearer, calmer, and more connected this Summer…let this episode be your compass.

For 20+ years I’ve been teaching people worldwide how to heal depression and anxiety naturally, strengthen pelvic health, and cultivate radical self-love. In 2011, I founded Getting Naked, an online school offering resources and programs that help people strip away limiting beliefs and childhood conditioning so they can feel confident, connected, free in their bodies and able to love and accept themselves unconditionally. Alongside being a mum, wife, tea lover, and drummer, I’m qualified in more than a dozen holistic healing modalities. I’ve written two books, been published worldwide (print, TV, radio, etc), and often share my passion for self-love, mental health and pelvic wellbeing at yoga and spirituality festivals. My own journey began when I learned how to overcome suicidal depression and anxiety without medication. From that, I created a ten-session self-love therapy program that now helps others do the same. On the podcast, I share personal stories, tools and science-backed down-to-earth practices for emotional healing, women’s health, and living with more joy and freedom. May you feel more whole and more complete, by simply tuning in!
