    Episode 18: Liberating Education - The Courage to Choose Differently

    What happens when we step off the well-worn path and begin to question what education could look like for our children? In this episode of Contain Her Magic, I’m joined by Caroline Frances and Lili Morel, two mothers and contributors to the #1 bestselling book, Liberating Education: The Art of Learning Beyond the Well-Worn Path. Drawing on their homeschooling journeys, we explore the challenges and rewards of choosing a different approach to education, and the courage it takes to navigate self-doubt and overwhelm while supporting children’s individual needs, including those of neurodivergent children.  We open the door to self-regulation and the joy of learning through movement, nature, travel and the learning opportunities woven into everyday life. We also explore how our choices can help us create the life we want for our children and our families. There is no one right way to educate a child. Every child and family is different, and this heartfelt conversation invites us to reimagine education, look beyond the familiar, discover possibilities we may never have considered, and follow a path that feels right for us and our children. 00:00 – Introduction: Celebrating One Year of Contain Her Magic 04:44 – Caroline and Lily’s Experiences of Education Growing Up 08:41 – How Our Childhood Experiences Shape Us as Mothers 13:14 – The Creation of Liberating Education 21:22 – Bringing Different Voices and Stories Together 24:02 – Choosing Homeschooling and Finding Your Own Path 32:14 – When the Traditional School System Doesn’t Meet a Child’s Needs 37:43 – Recognizing Neurodivergence and Understanding Our Children 44:57 – Self-Regulation, Co-Regulation and Supporting Our Children 47:11 – Movement, Outdoor Play and Nature as Tools for Regulation 52:21 – Travel, Everyday Experiences and Learning Beyond the Classroom 57:00 – Bringing Joy Back into Learning 1:04:55 – Creating a Home and Lifestyle Where Learning Happens Naturally 1:07:05 – Motherhood, Work and the Challenge of Doing It All 1:11:21 – Slowing Down, Letting Go of Perfectionism and Redefining Success 1:12:17 – The Fears and Challenges of Choosing a Different Path 1:15:17 – Finding Educational Resources and Planning for the Future 1:17:15 – Trusting Our Own Instincts and Our Children’s 1:21:27 – Embracing Discomfort, Uncertainty and Personal Growth 1:22:46 – Finding Magic, Meaning and Trust in the Journey 1:26:05 – Discovering New Possibilities and Becoming an Author 1:29:42 – A Family Story: Scuba Diving and Learning Through Experience 1:31:50 – The Book Becomes a Bestseller 1:33:00 – The Realities of Homeschooling, Support and Shared Responsibility 1:36:19 – Final Advice for Mothers Who Are Considering Homeschooling 1:39:52 – Where to Find Liberating Education and Connect with the Authors 1:41:00 – Final Reflections: There Is No One Right Way to Educate a Child 1:44:00 – A Preview of the Next Episode: Jo MacGregor 🌿Continue the Journey 📚 Get your copy of Liberating Education: The Art of Learning Beyond the Well-Worn Path Celebrating an incredible achievement, Liberating Education reached #1 bestseller in four Amazon categories and ranked #98 in all books! 🎉 Available here: 3acres.ca — Lili’s boutique online or in Dunham, Quebec Sovereign Acres Publishing — including merchandise Amazon Canada Amazon US Meet Lili and learn more about Liberating Education at the book fair hosted by the Art School in Sutton, Quebec on Saturday, December 5th. 📕Get the details here. ✨ Connect with our guests Follow Lili on Instagram Follow Caroline on Instagram 💫Discover Sonia’s Resources 5 Minutes Just for You 👉FREE download to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a moment of joy.

    Episode 17: Becoming a Wisdom Keeper - Stories, Sacred Land and Re-embering Your Creative Fire

    What does it mean to become a keeper of sacred wisdom in a world that has lost touch with so much of its ancient knowledge? How can we reconnect with the stories, traditions and landscapes that hold the threads of our past, and bring their wisdom into the present? In this episode of Contain Her Magic, Welsh artist, storyteller and ritualist Stella Marie Sheppard shares her passion for Welsh mythology, oral storytelling and the deep relationship between people and place. We explore how stories can illuminate our own journeys, how creativity emerges through play and inspiration, and how we can nurture our creative fire without burning out- leaving room for a little more magic in our lives. Together, we consider what it means to move from seeking wisdom to embodying it — and to choose consciously what we carry forward generations to come. 00:00 — Re-embering: The Creative Fire Within 00:42 — Welcome to Contain Her Magic 05:17 — Becoming a Keeper of Wisdom 06:51 — Stella’s Journey into Welsh Myth and Magic 10:19 — Childhood Experiences of Magic 14:08 — Reconnecting with Welsh Heritage 17:26 — Merlin, Welsh Mythology and the Wisdom of the Land 18:49 — The Tale of Taliesin and Mythic Embodiment 25:29 — The Power of Oral Storytelling 31:32 — Awen, Inspiration and the Muse 33:16 — Creative Fire: Creating Without Burning Out 37:05 — Embodiment and the Creative Process 40:48 — Deep Mapping: Discovering the Stories of the Land 43:24 — Creating a Sacred Record 46:12 — Pentre Ifan: An Encounter with an Ancient Sacred Site 48:24 — From Seeker to Wisdom Keeper 51:10 — Devotion, Intuition and Finding Your Path 54:54 — The Stories We Inherit and the Ones We Rewrite 58:11 — Re-embering: Sharing Your Unique Story 59:56 — Breath, Connection and a Guided Practice 1:02:40 — Stella’s Work and Upcoming Programs 1:05:14 — Closing Reflections: What Will We Carry Forward? 🍂 Continue the Journey Discover more of Stella Marie Sheppard's work and continue exploring the stories, traditions and creative wisdom of the land.

    Episode 16: Reclaiming the Woman Within - Part 2: Pleasure, Desire & Feeling Fully Alive

    What happens when we begin to reclaim the parts of ourselves we’ve learned to silence? In Part 2, Cat from Divine Mama Rising and I venture deeper into sensuality, pleasure, desire and the body, exploring what it can mean to reconnect with our life force and feel fully alive. We talk about Cat’s work with yoni massage and de-armouring, and how a trauma-informed, deeply embodied approach can create space for women to reconnect with sensation, voice, consent and pleasure. We explore desire as something much bigger than sexuality—a source of vitality, creativity, aspiration and connection to life—and how reclaiming our own desire can ripple into our relationships, families and everyday lives. And we come back to the question at the heart of Contain Her Magic: How do we contain our magic? For Cat, it’s about becoming the container ourselves and allowing that magic to become part of our everyday lives. And perhaps, ultimately, it’s about giving ourselves permission to feel, to want, to be seen, and to fully inhabit the woman within.   00:00 — Welcome Back & Reclaiming the Woman Within 02:26 — Reclaiming Sensation & Pleasure 03:57 — Motherhood, Sexuality & the Body 06:57 — Reclaiming the Body Through Self-Pleasure 08:47 — Yoni Massage & De-armouring 10:28 — Pleasure as Healing 12:06 — Reclaiming the Woman Within 13:07 — Yoni Massage: Reconnecting Through Touch 16:22 — Sensuality, Sexuality & Consent 19:02 — Birth, Trauma & the Body 21:21 — The De-armouring Process 29:11 — Awareness, Shadow Work & Being Seen 32:15 — Desire & Feeling Fully Alive 36:10 — The Magnetism of Desire 38:43 — Desire in Everyday Life 44:00 — Self-Care, Energy & Empowerment 45:23 — How Do You Contain Your Magic? 48:11 — Reclaiming Yourself as a Mother 50:39 — What’s Coming Next 53:37 — A Short Sensual Embodiment Meditation 57:00 — Closing Thoughts  🌿 Continue the Journey Divine Mama Rising Explore Cat's work with the shadow self women's circles, devotion and reclamation practices including her Women's Shadow Prompt Journal. 🌐 Website: https://www.divinemamarising.com 💮Yoni Massage: https://www.divinemamarising.com/yonimassage 🐈‍⬛Follow Cat on Instagram: @divinemamarising   ✨️ Five Minutes Just for You 👉FREE DOWNLOAD!

    Episode 16: Reclaiming the Woman Within - Part 1: Shadow, Sisterhood & Sensuality

    Do you feel that motherhood or the roles you play are slowly eclipsing the woman within? In Part 1, Cat from Divine Mama Rising shares her personal journey of reclaiming the woman within—from becoming immersed in motherhood and losing touch with herself, to rediscovering her identity, desires and sense of aliveness. We dive into shadow work, the power of women's circles and sisterhood, exploring what happens when we bring what’s been suppressed into awareness and give ourselves permission to feel, express and live more fully. And then we venture into the more taboo territory of Tantra, sensuality and pleasure, discovering Cat’s beautiful concept of empleasurement—the meeting point of empowerment and pleasure.

    Episode 15: The Spaces in Between - Finding Possibility in Life's Thresholds

    What if the in-between spaces we often overlook are actually full of possibility? As Sonia prepares for a summer of travel, reflection, and new experiences, she finds herself living in a liminal space—a threshold between what has been and what is yet to come. In this personal solo episode, she explores the significance of these "spaces in between" through the lenses of psychology, meditation, mythology, folklore, art, nature, philosophy and science, uncovering a fascinating thread: throughout history, many traditions have recognised that these unseen spaces hold profound significance. So what does that mean for us? Perhaps our greatest freedom, creativity and transformation don't happen when we've reached the destination—but while we're learning to trust the space in between. The episode concludes with a gentle guided meditation, inviting you to pause, embrace uncertainty, and experience the space in between for yourself. 00:00 Welcome & a personal story of standing at a threshold 02:05 What is a liminal space? 05:35 Have we forgotten how to leave space? 09:08 Everyday thresholds & Viktor Frankl's "space" 14:35 Meditation, Śūnya & the wisdom of the gap 18:36 Intuition, the unseen & transformation 21:07 Folklore, art, nature & wonder 24:20 Perception, science & curiosity 26:33 Why liminal spaces matter 31:00 A summer of liminal space 35:36 Guided meditation: Experiencing the space in between 39:20 Closing reflections   🌿Continue the Journey ✨ Free Guided Practice – Five Minutes Just for You A simple, calming practice to help you make space for whenever life feels busy or overwhelming. 👉 Download HERE 🎧 Referenced Episodes Episode 2: The Wisdom of the Crone Episode 4: The Truth About Witchcraft  Episode 12: Respell Your Reality with Lisa Lister  Episode 14: Could You Be a Medium? 📕Read the companion blog The Mythic Journey: Travel, Wonder & Self-Discovery 💫Stay Connected If this resonated, send it to a woman who might need this conversation. 🤍 Support the Podcast:  ⭐ Subscribe, rate & review Contain Her Magic ☕ Donate to support the show: https://www.paypal.me/soniabaillon 🌕 Follow Contain Her Magic on Instagram 💬Contact Sonia: containhermagic@gmail.com 💫 Learn more about Sonia's yoga and transformational coaching programs 🌐Website: https://soniabaillon.com 👉 Follow Sonia: Facebook - soniabaillon.com Instagram @soniabaillon YouTube - Embody Your Magic 🎵Soundtrack for Contain Her Magic - Return To Me by Scenic Kiss (Sonia Baillon & Mark Gibson)

    Episode 14: Could You Be a Medium? Beyond Intuition - Trusting Your Inner Knowing & Soul Truth

    Could you be a medium? And if so, what does that actually mean? In this fascinating conversation, Sonia sits down with psychic medium, spiritual mentor, and founder of the Consciousness Academy, Ceejay Amanda, to explore mediumship, intuition, soul purpose, and the deeper journey of learning to know and trust yourself. Together, they unpack the differences between intuition, psychic ability, and mediumship, while exploring why spiritual connection is about far more than receiving messages from the unseen world. Inspired by her personal journey, Ceejay shares her perspective on discernment and understanding your own unique energetics as the foundation for developing your sixth sense and living in deep alignment with your soul. This episode moves beyond the question of whether you have intuitive or paranormal gifts and into a richer conversation about soul truth, self-trust, and sovereignty. Along the way, Sonia and Ceejay explore ways we might receive messages from and connect with Spirit, guides, ancestors, and loved ones who have passed, as well as the role of fate, free will, and personal choice in shaping our lives. Whether you're deeply spiritual, intuitively curious, skeptical but open-minded, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this conversation invites you to consider what becomes possible when you are open yet grounded. The episode concludes with a short guided practice to help you tune into your own inner knowing. 🕰️Timestamps 00:00 Cold Open: Beyond the Entertainment of Mediumship 01:15 Introduction & Meet Ceejay Amanda 03:12 What Is Mediumship? 05:41 Could You Be a Medium? 08:52 Dreams, Apparitions & Spiritual Experiences 15:00 Ceejay's Journey into Mediumship 20:00 Discernment, Integrity & Energetics 24:30 Spirit, Guides, Entities & Purpose 30:38 How Messages Come Through 32:33 Resistance, Self-Trust & Claiming Your Gifts 38:14 Client Stories & Developing Psychic Abilities 41:34 Psychic Information vs. Soul Truth 43:24 Soul Purpose, Embodiment & Energetics 46:53 Containment, Boundaries & Holding Your Power 49:19 Empaths & Energy Management 57:30 Mentorship, Sovereignty & Growth 1:01:59 Timelines, Fate, Free Will & Manifestation 1:13:38 Self-Leadership, Integrity & Sovereignty 1:15:00 The Future of Mediumship & Mastering Your Energetics 1:23:04 Working with Ceejay & The Consciousness Academy 1:24:18 Final Message: Trust Your Unique Path 1:25:32 Sonia's Reflections & Continue the Journey 1:26:31 Guided Practice: Trusting Your Inner Knowing 🌿Continue the Journey Connect with Ceejay Amanda Ceejay Amanda is a Psychic Medium, Spiritual Mentor, and founder of the Consciousness Academy.

    Episode 13: Feel Good Your Way - Reconnecting with What Matters Most

    What's your way to feel good? That question sits at the heart of The Big Retreat Festival in Wales, where Sonia recently experienced a magical weekend of vibrant music, movement, community and connection with self and nature. She arrived with the intention of teaching Sacred Flow yoga and her Contain Her Magic workshop, but returned with stories from people rediscovering parts of themselves they thought they'd lost. Join Sonia as she explores the festival, the soul-stirring Welsh coastline, and the conversations that sparked a deeper reflection on what it means to feel truly alive, honour our stories and remember what matters most. What if the things that make us feel good aren't just helping us relax, recharge, or escape? What if they're helping us reconnect with something deeper? Part travel story, part personal reflection, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and explore the role that joy, nature, and belonging play in helping us find our way back to ourselves.
