    #83 Facing Your Demons of the Abyss

    This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, we're venturing into the abyss. Not the dramatic, mythic kind filled with monsters and ancient gods... but the very real places within ourselves we'd rather avoid. For me, the demon waiting in the dark is money. The stories I carry about worth, security, success and scarcity have a habit of resurfacing whenever I think I've finally made peace with them. Yet every descent into the underworld offers the same invitation: to stop running, turn around, and meet what is chasing us. Together we'll explore what it means to face our personal demons, why the abyss so often appears before transformation, and how the things we fear most can become our greatest teachers. So what waits for you in the dark? Join me as we step into the depths and discover what treasures might be hidden there.

    #82 Nurturing Curiosity; AJ and Exploring the Healing Power of Nature

    This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by the wonderful AJ... a curious soul walking the delicate line between care, academia, activism and joy. Working within the NHS as a mental health nurse supporting families in a deeply pressured system, AJ brings both compassion and honesty to the conversation. Currently completing the first two years of her doctorate, with her thesis beginning in September, AJ’s research explores how healthcare staff can help reconnect people with nature, and why that matters so profoundly in a time of climate crisis and collective burnout. We talk about climate justice, the healing power of the natural world, dancing, festivals, learning, and what it means to celebrate the sheer privilege of being alive amidst the chaos of modern life. A thoughtful, grounded and quietly inspiring conversation.

    #79 Beltane Blessings; Grounding and Landing Post Burning the Wickerman

    This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m talking about how strong, grounded, and genuinely supported I feel after this year’s La Beltane Festival here on Sark. The day began with absolute chaos... an unexpected torrential downpour just as everything was starting. For a moment, it felt like the whole thing might unravel. But the crew held steady, everyone pulled together, and we somehow ran a very smooth ship. Then, after an extra special blessing from Peruvian shaman Ben, the skies cleared and the sun came out for the rest of the day. It was truly magical. Since then, the land itself has felt different somehow. Blessed, open, and welcoming. As though by honouring her properly, something shifted. This episode is about community, ritual, resilience, and what happens when people gather with real intention.

    #78 Love and Laughter; Saffron Issac and Thirty-Two Years of Friendship

    This week on Nonsense in the Chaos, I’m joined by my best friend, Saffron Issac… a woman who has walked alongside me through more lifetimes than one. We met as teenagers in a Tudor re-creation and have been in each other’s lives ever since, from free parties and muddy rave fields, to sharing a home at the turn of the millennium in Brighton, to slowly, fiercely carving out our own lives and callings. We’ve witnessed each other becoming, unravelling, rebuilding. We even found ourselves side by side in the strange, tender world of IVF… her journey leading to motherhood and a now twelve-year-old, mine opening out into a different, child-free path. Two lives, equally full. Equally valid. Deeply intertwined. These days, we keep our connection alive through podcast-length WhatsApp messages (you know the ones), and in many ways, this entire podcast has become an extension of our conversations… with Saffron very much at the heart of who I’m speaking to. This episode is exactly what you’d expect… chaos, laughter, nostalgia, and a whole lot of love. A celebration of friendship that has stretched, shifted, and held strong through it all. Come and sit with us and enjoy an hour of eavesdropping on two old friends who just can’t stop laughing.

    #77 Creating a Home and Tending to the Ancestral Fires

    This week I’m sitting in the strange and beautiful in-between of arrival. A new home, new rhythms, new ways of inhabiting both space and self. There’s something about learning how to live in a place that mirrors learning how to live in a new phase of life… and right now, both are shifting at once. As I move deeper into the perimenopausal threshold, I can feel the stirrings of what I’m calling the ‘Baby Crone’… a soft but powerful reordering of priorities, energy, and truth. And weaving through it all… La Beltane Festival is just on the horizon. I’m looking forward to immersing myself in the weekend, celebrating the season and this gorgeous land, AND then being able to relax and enjoy the house and our new lives together after it’s all come together. Can’t wait for that bit!

    #76 A Spiritual Journey; Elaine Le Feuvre and Ways of Meeting the Menopause

    This week I take a deep dive into the wild adventure that is menopause with my guest Elaine Le Feuvre. Elaine is a passionate advocate for the Red School, which teaches women to work with their menstrual cycles, and for the Wisewoman’s Journey through menopause, seeing it as a deeply spiritual rite of passage. Known across the Channel Islands for her work as an aromatherapist, Elaine has led a rich and varied life. She has lived in South Africa and the UK, returning to Guernsey in her 30s where she worked in the prison service before coming back to her roots as a holistic therapist. Her practice now weaves together aromatherapy, reiki, and her work as a qualified cacao facilitator. Her work is inseparable from her own healing journey. After experiencing severe menstrual symptoms since her teenage years, she had a defining moment when she discovered she was living with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), a cyclical, hormone-based mood disorder. From that point, she committed to understanding her body more deeply, exploring both holistic and hormonal approaches, and grounding herself in spiritual practice to navigate the physical and emotional intensity of PMDD. Elaine is deeply committed to encouraging women to share their hormonal journeys and reclaim their stories. In this episode, we also explore Wise Power: Discover the Liberating Power of Menopause to Awaken Authority, Purpose and Belonging by Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer and Alexandra Pope.
