In this final episode of Deeper Threads for 2025, I sit down with the extraordinary body-based healing practitioner Jade Stewart of Aurore Holistic Health. With 22 years of training - and almost 70,000 clinical sessions - across global healing lineages from India to Egypt, the South of France to the UK, Jade has arrived at a profound truth: the cosmic mother pulses through all of life, and is the very thing we’re longing for. We dive deep into the sacred feminine, exploring what it really means to awaken, remember and enliven the feminine energy that has been hidden, suppressed and misunderstood for centuries, with a special focus on womb healing. We learn that the womb is so much more than a vessel for life - it is a centre of energy, creativity, intuition and deep inner power. In this episode, we explore: * How the womb is not just a biological organ, but a powerful energetic centre * Why womb awareness can deepen your connection to your yourself and others * Why healing the womb - and the feminine - holds the key to individual and collective healing * Practical ways to reconnect to your womb and the feminine If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your intuition or your own sense of flow, this conversation will help you see your womb not just as a reproductive organ, but as a doorway home to yourself, and to the wisdom within. And for the men listening, this is a powerful chance to understand the women you love on a deeper level, and to reflect on your own relationship with the feminine energy that also lives within you. I hope you enjoy it! This is the last Deeper Threads episode of the year, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has tuned in. They say anything you create is something you’re creating for yourself, and I reckon there’s some truth in that. I wrote my book so my heart could speak. I started this podcast so I could keep diving deeper and learning from people who inspire me. And honestly, on the days when I’m stuck in my own head, I’ll listen back to an episode or reread something I’ve written - not to high five myself, but because the mind is so good at pulling us away from truth. And it takes knowledge, tools and practice to return. But as Jade reminds us in this episode, anything we do for the self is ultimately for the we. So I hope this space has become one of those tools for you, the way it has for me. And if it has, please let me know in the Substack comments or on Facebook or Instagram. Your feedback really does help keep this whole thing going. It’s nice to know I’m not just speaking into some big ole internet void! Deeper Threads will be back in March, after a short hiatus while the kids are on summer holidays. I look forward to sharing more conversations with you in the new year. I’ve already recorded two and they are really inspiring. Thank you again to the guests who have sat with me this year. You are all so bloody awesome. And thanks again to you for being here. Truly. Happy, happy holidays, everyone.
