    Ep. 47: Stop chasing healing and tap into your bodies wisdom to find your flow with Harriet Adkin

    What a journey of an episode! In this deeply nourishing conversation, we explored the connection between chronic skin conditions and misaligned living. How our bodies carry the weight of unprocessed emotions, and how healing truly begins when we feel what’s been long buried. We dove into the layered complexities of the body’s wisdom, affirming that the well-worn phrase “feel it to heal it” holds profound truth on the path to aligned and authentic living. To round out the episode, we celebrated the beauty and joy of sisterhood—the sense of elevation and expansion that arises when women come together in truth and presence. It was such a pleasure to welcome Harriet back to the podcast four years after her first appearance! Her journey of evolution is a testament to the power of embodiment. Harriet is a Somatic Coach, Yin Yoga Teacher, and Visual Artist with a passion for guiding others into the flow of their unique creative expression.

    Ep. 45: The Liberated Woman with Grecia

    This episode is filled with aliveness, with guest expert Grecia sharing her journey into the liberated woman and the tools and modalities that have guided her along that she now devotes and shares as her mission. Grecia vulnerably shares how her body once felt like a prison, she felt captive by her own mind and controlled by fear constantly feeling like life was an internal battle. In not knowing where to turn she had to face the darkest corners of her soul and her past and the true knowing that there was more to life, that it was possible to live authentically, alive and free by diving into the fears, judgements and uncomfortable emotions of anger and shame only to guide her into her own liberation. This is what it means to live life fully alive to meet all emotion from a place of awe and beauty to access even more liberation of self and expression. If you want to know more about Grecia's programme: 'The Liberated Woman' connect with Grecia @embodied.satya Website: www.grecia.embodiedsatya.com Grecia will also be a guest expert inside my online membership 'The Calling' in January guiding an incredible workshop the liberated self.
