    Episode 69 - How Do We Live With Disappointment?

    We all have hopes — for a relationship, an opportunity, a long-awaited win or even that first cup of coffee. Sometimes we don’t realise how much we’ve invested in something until life unfolds differently. But what happens next? Do we let ourselves feel disappointed, or quickly tell ourselves it doesn’t matter, look on the bright side and move on? In this episode, we explore the distance between the future we imagined and the reality we experience. We talk about the physical feeling of disappointment, the embarrassment of letting others see how much we cared, and the pressure to find something positive before we’ve had time to acknowledge what hurts. What might disappointment reveal about what matters to us? Can we keep hoping without tying our worth to an outcome? And can we be deeply disappointed and still know that we’re okay? THE TAROT — Ten of Wands The Ten of Wands invites us to consider the weight we carry when life hasn’t met our hopes. Alongside disappointment, are we carrying expectations, self-judgement or the pressure to hold everything together? What could we set down, and where could we allow ourselves to receive support? The deeper question may be: What am I carrying that I no longer need to carry? ✨ JOIN THE CONVERSATION Want to continue the conversation?

    Episode 66 — Have We Confused Being Comfortable With Being Safe?

    In this episode, we explore the difference between feeling comfortable and feeling safe — and what happens when we begin to question whether they are actually the same thing. We talk about the ways our bodies respond to danger, but also to uncertainty, change and the unfamiliar. A pounding heart, nervousness or the urge to leave can be very real — but does feeling uncomfortable always mean something is unsafe? And how do we learn to recognise the difference? Along the way, we explore the familiarity of our routines, relationships, beliefs and ways of doing things. What have we called safe simply because we know it? And what might we discover when we become curious about our discomfort rather than automatically obeying it? Perhaps discomfort doesn't always require us to leave. Sometimes it may be asking us to stop. Sometimes it may be saying, not yet. And sometimes it may be inviting us to keep going and experience something new. Can we be safe and uncomfortable? Can we be nervous and still know we're okay? Can we be uncertain and still take the next step? Perhaps learning the difference between discomfort and danger gives us something we may not have realised we had — choice. 🃏 THE TAROT — The Star The Star brings curiosity and hope to our conversation through the story of Pandora. Her curiosity opened the box and brought what was hidden into the open — and within the box was also hope. Perhaps we don't discover what lies beneath our discomfort by keeping the lid firmly closed. Curiosity invites us to look, to explore and to ask what our discomfort might actually be telling us. Associated astrologically with Aquarius, The Star also speaks to the courage to be different — to move beyond what is familiar while remaining connected to who we are. Perhaps we don't need to know exactly what lies beyond the familiar before we take another step. Perhaps we can trust ourselves enough to say, I don't know what's in there, but I know I'm going to be okay. 💫 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What might change if, the next time you feel uncomfortable, you asked yourself: Am I unsafe — or am I uncomfortable?

We’d love to continue the conversation with you there.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Episode 65 - How Do I Stay Open When the World Makes Me Want to Shut Down?

    In this episode, we explore what happens when life feels like too much and our instinct is to withdraw, close the doors and shut out the world. We talk about the ways overwhelm can show up in the body, and what might change if we begin to recognise our capacity before we reach the point of shutting down. What if the message isn’t necessarily I need to shut everything out, but simply I’ve reached my limit? Along the way, the conversation moves from either/or to both/and. We explore the difference between limits and boundaries, and whether knowing when we’ve had enough might actually allow us to remain more connected to life. Can we care and protect ourselves? Can we participate and step away? Can we remain open without being available to everything? Perhaps staying open isn’t about taking everything in. Perhaps it’s about learning to stay connected to ourselves as we engage with the world — knowing when to continue, when to pull back and when to say, not this. Can we allow ourselves to belong to the whole of life without requiring ourselves to hold all of life? 🃏 THE TAROT — Four of Pentacles The Four of Pentacles brings us back to protection and what happens when we hold everything close in an attempt to keep ourselves safe. Sometimes protection is exactly what we need. But this card also invites us to notice when protection begins to become disconnection. Maybe the question is: Am I protecting myself so I can remain connected to life — or has protecting myself started to disconnect me from it? 💫 JOIN THE CONVERSATION When you feel yourself wanting to shut down, what might change if you asked yourself, Have I simply reached my limit?

    Episode 64 - Have We Forgotten How to Disagree?

    In this episode, we explore what happens when someone sees the world differently from us, and why disagreement can sometimes feel like something much bigger than a difference of opinion. We talk about what happens in the body when a deeply held belief is challenged, and how quickly difference can be interpreted as danger. Can we create enough space between reaction and response to become curious about what is happening within us, and about the person standing in front of us? Along the way, the conversation moves from disagreement to understanding. Can we understand why someone believes what they believe without needing to believe it ourselves? Can we remain open to another perspective without abandoning our own? And perhaps underneath it all sits an even more vulnerable question: does belonging require agreement? Maybe we don’t need to agree in order to remain in relationship. Maybe we can trust ourselves enough to hold our own perspective while allowing someone else to hold theirs. What might become possible if neither of us has to win? How about we simply say: I’m seeing it differently — and I’m still seeing you. 🃏 THE TAROT — Queen of Wands The Queen of Wands reminds us of the power of knowing who we are without needing someone else to agree with us. Secure in her own voice and perspective, she can remain open to what others bring without being diminished by it. Maybe real personal power is being able to say: I don’t need you to agree with me for me to trust myself. 💫 JOIN THE CONVERSATION How comfortable are you allowing someone you care about to see something very differently from you without either of you needing to change the other’s mind?

    Episode 63 - Why Is It Sometimes So Hard to Ask for Help?

    In this episode, we explore why asking for help can feel so much harder than it sounds. We talk about the beliefs and expectations we carry around independence, capability and vulnerability, and how our families, culture and experiences can shape what asking for help means to us. We also explore knowing our own limits, finding the people we feel safe enough to ask, and allowing someone to say no without making their answer mean something about us. Along the way, the conversation takes us somewhere we didn’t quite expect — from the difficulty of asking for help to our ability to receive it. Can we accept someone’s time, care or generosity without immediately wondering how we can repay them? And what if allowing someone to help us isn’t a sign that we’re less capable, but an invitation into relationship? Perhaps asking and receiving are simply two parts of the same human exchange — an opportunity to let kindness move in both directions. 🃏 THE TAROT — Page of Pentacles The Page of Pentacles invites us to consider the foundations we are creating for the life ahead. When we allow ourselves to ask for and receive help, perhaps we are also cultivating kindness, generosity and goodwill as part of the life we are creating. 💫 JOIN THE CONVERSATION How comfortable are you asking for help — and how comfortable are you receiving it?

    Episode 62 - What Age Would You Be If You Didn’t Know How Old You Were?

    In this episode, we explore what age really means when we look beyond the number. We talk about the expectations and milestones we attach to ageing, the difference between listening to our bodies and listening to our beliefs about what a body of a certain age should be like, and the freedom that can come from questioning what is considered “age appropriate.” Through our Salt, Sage & Stardust perspectives, we explore the physical reality of a body moving through time, the wisdom and experiences we gather along the way, and the possibility that beneath the birthdays and changing body there is a part of us that isn’t chronological at all. Along the way, we discover the possibility that we don’t leave our younger selves behind at all. We carry every age we’ve ever been — an accumulation of experiences, memories and wisdom that continues to become part of who we are today. 🃏 THE TAROT — Ten of Cups The Ten of Cups brings a beautiful sense of emotional contentment to the conversation. An invitation to settle into the knowing that whatever comes next, you’ve got this. 💫 JOIN THE CONVERSATION What age would you be if you didn’t know how old you were?
