  1. Are we there yet?

    APR 15

    Are we there yet?

    Are We There Yet?  In this episode of The Empress & The Rock, we take a step back and look at something lots of people overlook when they’re trying to grow, change or build something new - the foundations. Before the expansion. Before the results. Before the “are we there yet?” moment. We chat about what it really looks like when things aren’t flowing yet, from Chris navigating the frustrations of learning Kundalini Yoga to me unpicking my crochet. Those moments where progress feels slow, messy or even like you’re going backwards. But this is the work. This episode is about recognising that grounding isn’t just something you ‘do’, it’s something you build. It’s the steady base that allows everything else to grow from a place of strength, rather than pressure or urgency. Through the energy of spring, we reflect on patience, timing and learning to stay with the process, even when the results aren’t visible yet. Because real growth doesn’t come from rushing ahead. It comes from being steady enough to hold what’s on its way.

  2. Spring of Deception

    MAR 20

    Spring of Deception

    Spring Equinox – Finding Balance in a Season of Awakening As we move through the Spring Equinox, nature offers us a powerful moment of balance—equal light and dark, a pause before true growth begins. But this season of awakening isn’t always as clear or effortless as it seems. In this episode, we gently explore the idea of a “spring of deception”—those moments where growth can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even misleading. When everything is shifting, how do we know what’s truly aligned for us? Drawing on the wisdom of Crystal & Kundalini Yoga with the balance of the positive, negative, and neutral minds, you’ll be guided back to a place of clarity, trust, and inner steadiness. This episode includes a calming yet simple practices to help you: Find balance before moving forwardNavigate emotional and energetic shifts with easeReconnect to your own inner truth and timingA soft, grounding listen for anyone feeling the pull of change… but wanting to move through it with trust rather than pressure.

  3. You ARE you're own GURU!

    You ARE you're own GURU!

    Just keep swimming! In this episode of The Empress & the Rock, we talk about thresholds. Those in-between spaces where the old way of life or working no longer fits but the new one hasn’t crystallised yet. We reflect on how we have moved away from live crystal sales and the impact that has had on us plus wider business and life changes and how transitions can unsettle us, even when they’re the right thing to do. We explore what it means to keep trusting during uncertainty and why moments of panic, frustration and anger are normal parts of the change process.  From swimming with manatees in Florida to Kundalini Breath Work, we look at how growth isn’t always about moving forward. Sometimes it’s about treading water, orientating yourself and waiting until the moment to move is genuinely right.

    Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb

    Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb  In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, we welcome the Imbolc and  the Full Moon gently — without pressure, urgency, or the need to reinvent ourselves. As winter begins to soften and Imbolc approaches, we explore this sacred threshold between rest and renewal. A time when nothing looks fully formed, yet everything is quietly awakening beneath the surface. We share how Imbolc invites us to trust subtle momentum, honour natural rhythms in life and business, and allow the year to meet us in its own time. Drawing on our work with crystals and energy healing, we discuss supportive Imbolc crystals and how to work with them for surrender, clarity, and gentle new beginnings. The episode includes a short guided crystal meditation, helping you connect with the returning light, calm the nervous system, and nurture what is beginning to stir within you — without forcing it into bloom. This is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and tend the inner flame as the days gradually grow brighter.

    Light Over Fear: Clearing Entities & Hauntings

    In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, our conversation is about entities. We explore what entities, spirits and energetic attachments really are, how they form and why they may attach to people or spaces. Vikki draws on her real-life experience and professional practice and shares how crystal therapy is used to safely and compassionately release ghosts, spirits, and narcissistic energetic attachments — without fear, force or confrontation. We discuss how hauntings occur, the difference between residual energy and conscious entities and why personal energetic boundaries are key to lasting protection. This episode is about education, empowerment and restoring balance through light, clarity and conscious awareness.

  6. Working with the Deep Stuff!

    Working with the Deep Stuff!

    In this episode, Chris and I talk about the deeper side of crystal therapy — the kind of work that isn’t always gentle or easy, but is often profoundly healing. I share some real life experiences that show how crystal therapy can open space for deep emotional release and powerful shifts. My Crystal Healing teacher told me early in my training that my future healing sessions wouldn’t be 'nice and fluffy', but would be about working with the heavy stuff, the deep stuff, the places where real change happens. We explore: • What a crystal therapy session with me actually looks like in practice • Why powerful sessions aren’t always comfortable, but are transformative • How clients experience release, insight and emotional breakthroughs • The responsibility of holding space for healing • Why this kind of work requires trust, courage and compassion If you’ve ever wondered what happens beyond surface-level wellbeing, this episode offers an honest look at the depth, truth and beauty of crystal therapy when it’s used for real inner work.

    Naughty Chakras & Shiny Crowns

    In this episode of The Empress & The Rock, we’re getting grounded — literally. From head spinning detachment & upside down triangles to tree hugging and the crystals that will root you to the floor, we explore how to keep connected. We chat about the Root Chakra and why it’s your energetic tether to feeling safe and secure, and the Crown Chakra that helps you rise and expand. How do you balance the two? How do you know when you’re not grounded (hello overthinking, clumsiness, or feeling like you’re floating off)? And most importantly, what can you do about it? We’ll share our favourite grounding crystals, simple techniques to tether yourself back into your body, and why nature — especially trees & crystals — might be the ultimate healers. So if you’ve been feeling scattered, unsteady or just in need of a big energetic exhale, this one’s for you.
