    Before the Crisis Rethinking Children's Mental Health with Sarah Amedeo

    What if, instead of waiting until a child reaches crisis point, we gave them the knowledge and tools to understand themselves much earlier? In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Amedeo, author of Child Suicide, and the Silent Mental Turmoil That Is Destroying Our Kids. Sarah’s work began with her own experiences as a child, bullying, struggling to understand what she was feeling, and believing at one point that she had a “broken brain”. But learning about psychology and human behaviour changed the way she understood herself, other people, and the world around her. Today, Sarah is asking an important question: are we too reactive when it comes to children’s mental health? We talk about breaking generational patterns, emotional intelligence, bullying, technology, the role of parents, and why teaching children how to understand their thoughts, emotions and behaviour could help us move from crisis intervention towards prevention. It’s a conversation about what might change if, rather than waiting for children to struggle, we started teaching them how to understand what it means to be human.

    When Spirit Has a Seat at the Table with Andrea Mellon

    In this episode, I’m joined once again by soul strategist Andrea Mellon, and this conversation feels very different from the one we shared back in May. So much has shifted for both of us in such a short space of time. Andrea’s spiritually downloaded work has evolved into Soul Coding, while my own Connection Compass has begun to come together in ways I couldn’t have reached through logic alone. We talk about what happens when we stop trying to make our work fit into conventional frameworks and instead trust what we’re receiving. We explore spiritual connection, remembering our gifts, working with the seemingly illogical, and finding the courage to share the work that comes through us even when we can’t fully explain where it came from. This is a conversation about trust, expansion, and what becomes possible when we allow spirit to have a seat at the table.

    The Autumn, The Soul and The Connection Compass with Host Andrea L Evans

    In this solo episode, I share the next chapter of The Connection and what it feels like to begin taking this work out into the world. After trialling the Compass with myself and others, I’ve been struck by how gentle and nurturing the process is, creating space to listen to ourselves rather than pushing or forcing change. I talk about the different ways you can currently experience this work, including a written intuitive letter, a single coaching session, a two-session offering and my monthly circle, beginning Monday 5th October. I then use The Connection Compass alongside my autumn tarot cards for an intuitive reading for September. Nourishment is a strong theme: nourishing ourselves physically, mentally and emotionally; noticing how we speak to ourselves; and becoming aware of the situations we continue to put ourselves through that perhaps are no longer good for us. There is also an invitation to nurture our relationship with the soul , the part of us that quietly knows there is more. We explore grounding and bringing the head, heart and hara into greater balance, remembering that this is a practice requiring patience and self-compassion. Sometimes nourishing ourselves is what prepares us for forward movement; at other times, something first needs to be released. With autumn approaching, I reflect on the Metal element in Taoist philosophy and the themes of letting go, grief and revelation that accompany the season. Just as autumn leaves reveal colours that were present beneath the green all along, perhaps something within us is also waiting to be revealed. I also look at September’s moon cycles and the opportunity to consider what we want to begin, complete or put into motion before winter invites us to slow down and rest, review and renew Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to explore. As we deepen the relationship we have with ourselves, our relationship with others and with the world around us can begin to change too , contributing, in our own small way, to a more connected and interconnected world. The episode closes with a short grounding meditation, bringing awareness back to the head, heart and hara About the Host Andrea L Evans is the creator of The Connection Compass and founder of the Human Led Impact Project.

    Pick the Version of You that feels like Magic with Jo Squires

    In this episode, I’m joined by Jo Squires, founder of Source 2 Soul Healing, for a conversation about what happens when the life and career you’ve built no longer feel like you. Jo shares her journey from corporate finance, through redundancy, burnout and huge personal change, to finding her way back to herself and discovering a completely different path. We talk about the masks we wear, the exhaustion of appearing confident when things feel very different on the inside, and what can happen when we finally stop trying to control everything. We explore healing, boundaries, signs and synchronicities, and why trusting yourself is often a work in progress. Ultimately, this is a conversation about letting go of what we no longer need to carry, having faith in who we are, and giving ourselves permission to simply be ourselves.

    From Victimhood to Freedom: The Power of the Gene Keys with Aimee Scullin

    In this episode, I’m joined by life and business freedom coach Aimee for a beautiful conversation about spirituality, self-trust and finding the freedom to become who we truly are. Aimee shares her journey from personal development and traditional therapy into Human Design, the Gene Keys and deeper spiritual exploration, including the profound awakening she experienced after becoming a mother. We talk about learning to trust our intuition, breaking patterns of self-sabotage, moving from victimhood to freedom, and recognising that the power we often search for outside ourselves has been within us all along. We also explore love, abundance, finding joy in uncertain times and giving ourselves permission to do what we love — because when we stop forcing and start living in alignment with who we are, life can begin to flow in a very different way. This is a conversation about healing, spirituality, freedom and having the courage to trust your own inner journey More About Aimee and her work Website More About the Host Andrea L Evans is the creator of The Connection Compass and founder of the Human Led Impact Project.
