    S1. you’ve been fun!!! (Pivot before you Jack Knife)

    Welcome to Angels on the Airwaves Podcast and a special recap episode on the podcast launch and Season One with your hosts and angels, Jessica James and Rebecca Henwood. As we look back on the journey over the past 6 months since the idea of the Podcast creation first took place, the synchronicities that shaped the show, the powerful lessons learned we have learnt along the way and the Angels and Heroes who have featured their own real-life stories. This episode is a celebration of everyone’s journey’s and the unity created by a shared passion for pivoting, overcoming adversity, and choosing to keep growing no matter what life throws at us all. What makes this episode especially powerful is not just the honesty with we all reflect on our own turning points, but the way we invite listeners to sit with the idea that anything is possible and that everyday matters. In this episode we talk about: •Jessica's life changing brain tumour diagnosis and emergency surgery, and what that experience taught her about choosing God and life •Rebecca's own turning point, and the idea of pivoting before life forces a drastic change by making decisions for you •How to embrace the present moment and keep moving forward with purpose, even after everything is shifting around you •The incredible guests who shared their stories this season, their voices from around the world and the gratitude that comes from building this kind of community This is an episode is full of honesty, warmth and spiritual reflection and a proud coming together of a unique community who have demonstrated the magic of showing up. This is a reminder that change is possible and every day matters. Season two is coming soon, with even more stories the healing power of music woven in.

    Breathe with Bec… Lessons in Becoming You

    Welcome to another inspiring episode of Angels on the Airwaves. This special feature of our Angel & Co-Founder honours the courage it takes to dismantle the life you’ve always known and rediscover who you truly are with Rebecca Henwood. Originally from the UK, Rebecca built a successful corporate career while navigating life as an expatriate, wife, mother and eventually a solo parent. After years of carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma, loss and the pressure to hold everything together, she made the courageous decision to leave behind everything familiar and begin again in Byron Bay. Guided by faith, intuition and a deep desire for inner peace, Rebecca embraced a path of radical self-discovery. Through yoga, breathwork, somatic healing and the support of community, she transformed her pain into purpose, discovering that true freedom comes not from having it all together… but from allowing yourself to be fully seen. In this episode, we talk about: ​ The courage to remove the mask of perfection and embrace vulnerability ​ How yoga, breathwork and somatic practices became powerful tools for healing trauma and loss ​ The life-changing power of forgiveness… of others and yourself ​ Why leaving your environment can create space for profound transformation ​ Navigating menopause and ageing with wisdom, grace and self-compassion ​ Finding safety within yourself instead of searching for it externally ​ Creating joy through presence, simplicity and everyday moments ​ Trusting divine guidance and allowing life’s challenges to become your greatest teachers This episode is your reminder… Trust the journey… trust yourself… and remember who you truly are.

    Re - Introducing Angels on the Airwaves

    This is our very first official episode of Angels on the Airwaves, and we are so glad you’re here. We are Becky and Jessie, the co-founders & hosts of this Podcast and this is our story shared directly with you for the first time. In this episode, we talk about: * The moments that change everything * Life looking one way on the outside while everything shifts within * Loss, identity, motherhood, surrender, and starting again * Being broken open and rebuilt in a completely new way * Faith becoming the thread that holds everything together We talk about walking through different seasons but arriving at the same truth. Life can shift in an instant and sometimes that is exactly where real becoming begins. We share: * High functioning life on the outside, inner unravelling on the inside * Grief, responsibility, and unexpected turning points * Letting go of what we thought life would look like * Learning to trust, surrender, and lean into faith even in uncertainty This is not a highlight reel. It is the real unfiltered process of being reshaped by life. And through it all learning to trust, surrender, and find faith in what we cannot yet see. This conversation is also woven with something we both deeply love, music, as a thread of expression, healing, and connection through every season. If you are in a season of change, uncertainty, or quiet transformation, this is the podcast for you. And finally, it is Friday. So wherever you are, however your week has been, take this as your reminder to pause, breathe, and step into something real with us. Happy Friday, and welcome to Angels on the Airwaves.

In this episode, we talk about: • How we can turn surrender into strategy, especially when navigating things outside of our control • The loss that comes with marriage separation that often goes unacknowledged compared to other forms of loss • How life during a period of loss feels on the inside and we touch on feelings of sel-judgement, isolation and the pressure to hold it all together • Why connection to ourselves and others beats external validation every time, and what that actually looks like in practice • The mistakes we make along the path on our life journey because those are often our greatest teachers rather than the wins Murf shares his message as a powerful reminder that unwavering dedication to a cause, and trust in our own values and self-belief, shows us that the human spirit doesn’t need perfect conditions.
