Choosing Woo is a podcast exploring what it means to live with greater awareness, connection, and intention in an increasingly overwhelming world. Through honest conversations with thought-provoking guests and grounded reflections, we explore the intersection of science, embodiment, spirituality, nervous system regulation, and the beautifully messy experience of being human. The choosing woo podcast is definitely not about having everything figured out or claiming anyone has the answers, it's actually a space to get curious, learn new things, maybe have some ah-ha moments.

    S2 E25 - Body building, Travel and changing your life path w/ Tyarra Nelson

    Today I chat with one of my closest friends Tyarra Nelson. Tyarra and I met, when we bonded over the death of a huge loggerhead turtle and became instant friends. While she may only be 29 years old, Tyarra has already lived a full and inspiring life. She studied nutrition and has helped 100s of people as a body building dietician, she herself was a body builder and worked hard all of her 20s to build a very successful business alongside her then partner. She openly shares that while this all ticked so many boxes, she was ready to live a life that felt more "her", so she quit her job and has moved to Canada, where she is travelling around in a van. A truly inspiring and fascinating conversation! If you'd love to follow along with Tyarras van life journey, you can find her at the link below: Instagram*Music provided by Zapsplatt

    In this episode, I’m chatting with Amanda Davis, who I decided to interview because I feel she embodies what choosing woo is all about, which is continually choosing to see the magic of life, being your authentic self and following your heart, which I believe has meant Amanda has lived a full and inspiring life.

    S2 E22 - Enneagram, art as therapy and trusting your path with Donna Woodrow

    Our guest today is Donna Woodrow, though she feels most at home when called Don. Don is an Enneagram Practitioner, a Somatic Art Therapist, and the founder of The 9 Within. Don spent seven years teaching the Enneagram alongside her sister and went on to serve as a Guide for the Enneagram Prison Project in the US, witnessing the system's power to create freedom on both sides of the bars. Her path to this work was forged through a powerful journey of personal liberation, including a profound moment of waking up to her own personal power to exit a domestic violence relationship in her early twenties. After an intentional 'kid-retirement' to nurture the attachment and development of her young son, Don has returned to her practice with a revolutionary approach: bridging the map of the Enneagram with the expressive, subconscious voice of Art Therapy.We have an incredbly insightful and honest conversation, if you'd love to find out more about dons work, you can follow the links below: Website: The 9 Within | Enneagram Coaching & Art Therapy Instagram: Instagram If you'd love to find out your enneagram type, you can go to the link below: The Enneagram Institute - The Enneagram Institute And lastly, if you'd love to know more about the choosing woo group journey, you can go to the link below: Restorative Rach *Music provided by zapsplatt

    S2 E19 - Self-Trust, presence & synchronicities; Making yourself available to life

    In this episode, I reflect on synchronicities, self-trust, healing old loops, and the shift from constantly trying to “figure life out” to simply being present with it. I speak about: The difference between chasing life versus making yourself available to it, How overanalysing spirituality or searching for meaning in everything can sometimes pull us away from actually living andWhy the moments I feel most connected are often the simplest and most human.I also share reflections from our recent women’s circle, thoughts on timing, relationships, authenticity, and the realisation that life isn’t meant to be one-dimensional; it includes joy, grief, uncertainty, beauty, messiness, and everything in between.This episode is an invitation to soften the grip, trust yourself a little more deeply, and remember that you don’t need to have everything figured out to belong in the world.
