    Welcome to the Lemons to Lemonade Series 🍋🍋🍋

    Freddy returns to the Women Doing Their Thing podcast after a break, sharing renewed clarity about her brand, a book-in-progress, and a six-week series on “gateways” or “initiations” where hardships become doorways to purpose. Drawing from decades of client work and her own history of anorexia as a teenager in Ireland, she describes being told she would not recover and how refusing that identity—supported by her mother’s decision to avoid hospitalization and medication—shaped her path into mental health work. She reflects on creativity, activism, addiction-swapping, and an early public talk that led her to hide due to shame and “negativity bias,” reframing visibility and storytelling as connection and inspiration. She encourages taking “next right-size steps,” seeking support, creating one’s own stage, and using visualization to open new possibilities, previewing upcoming weekly episodes.

    E13 Transitions, Catification, and the Truth About Going Your Own Way

    Good morning, my loves. I’m back behind the mic, eating chocolate spread on sourdough and talking to you from the cozy chaos of my little South London studio—cats included. This is a softer, slower episode. A catch-up. A moment of reflection. A reminder that life isn’t always linear, especially when you’re self-employed, living between countries, navigating transitions, and making space (literally) for your evolving life. In this episode, I share: Why I’ve been quiet on the pod lately and what life’s been full of behind the scenes The wild joy and challenge of living in a small space with two cats The deep transitions of clearing out my mum’s house and the echoes of grief and gratitude it brings Why I chose to be self-employed—and what beliefs I’ve had to dismantle to stay the course Some of the real challenges of being a multi-passionate practitioner (hello imposter syndrome, old stories about not being qualified enough, and “not enough community” narratives) A reminder that becoming self-employed is also becoming yourself. It’s personal development disguised as a career choice. And why slow steps, community care, and somatic wisdom are key to long-term growth You'll also hear about my background—from leaving school at 14, to my many trainings and qualifications, to now working towards bringing post-trauma growth work to young women in London. It’s all part of the journey. Whether you’re walking through your own in-between season or figuring out how to bring your gifts to the world, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.

    E12 Learn to think how a businessperson thinks...

    Guess what? This week, Freddy is checking in from her brand-new pad in South London! 🎉 If you’ve been following along, you’ll know she made the big move to London last October, and her biggest goal over the past few months has been saving up to rent her very own place. Well… drumroll please… she did it! Mission accomplished! 🏡✨ It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s basically a glorified shoebox—but it’s hers, and it’s got everything she needs. Muy adore! 😍 Of course, with this exciting new chapter comes a few changes. London rent isn’t exactly budget-friendly, so the spending plan has had a little shake-up. But let’s be real—going without? Not the vibe. We’re not here to squeeze into someone else’s idea of what’s affordable. Instead, in true Freddy fashion, she’s getting curious about something way more empowering: How do we take charge of our own financial freedom? How do we create our own economies and design a life where comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s the standard? Let’s dive in! 🚀💸 Listen in for the responses to these questions; 💖 Can a therapist actually get rich and how? 💖 Can therapists make finance-level money? And finally... 💖 Learn to think how a businessperson thinks... Enjoy! Catch you next time!

    E11 Is Entrepreneurship the Answer for Menstrual Health?

    It's been a bumpy couple of weeks over here at Freddy HQ, and the fruits of these bumpy weeks make up the podcast today. We'll be chatting about; 1. Adenomyosis, what it is and how to manage symptoms. 2. How can we work differently so our symptoms don't get in the way of us sharing our gifts with the world. 3. How Organic Intelligence was the answer my system needed to integrate old traumas and get on the path to healing. 4. How an off the cuff prayer at a desperate time has guided my every move for the last 10 years.

    E8 How to thrive during tough times.

    Your continued thriving, regardless of the circumstances you find yourself in, is my desire. In fact it's my life's mission. This week I had the opportunity to chat to a London-based women's group who invited me to share with their young women's about how OI can help ensure we thrive even under seemingly impossible circumstances. In this episode you'll hear;How OI helped me not only heal from Chronic Fatigue The psychology behind the negativity bias, how it keeps us stuck and what to do about it. How OI helped my system stabilise well enough for me to achieve my dream of studying psychotherapy How simple OI practices can help us regulate and return to neutral And there are free gifts for you! Here's your access to the Emergence Meditation Series, a constantly growing series to help you engage your innate wisdom.

    E7 What's Organic Intelligence ® infused psychotherapy?

    This week the podcast is all about what happens when you integrate Organic Intelligence® and psychotherapy, which has been the devoted enterprise of your host Freddy, for the past four years. If you look at it one way Organic Intelligence® and psychotherapy appear to be totally different beasts. Organic Intelligence® intentionally creates space for our emerging innate organising intelligence and psychotheapy, well, it's all about thoughts and feelings right? Or could there be more to it when the two combine? This week we will discover how these healing modalities easefully compliment each other as Freddy shares with us her ongoing journey as an OI coach and psychotherapist. Women Doing Their Thing is a podcast devoted to helping as many women as possible do their thing. The podcast celebrates women and aims to inspire, to help you take action in your life, and to show you ways of doing your thing boldly and joyfully and if you're into the business thing - profitably!
