    Taking a Moment to Choose

    What do you do when something comes up that you really don’t want to deal with? Maybe you overthink it, avoid it, wish it would go away, or find yourself contracting around it before it’s even happened. In this episode, I explore what can happen when we pause before falling into our usual patterns and take a moment to choose how we want to relate to what’s in front of us. This episode also includes a short guided reflection to help you give space to your emotions and connect with your intentions. A question to reflect on: What if this is leading you to a new experience of yourself? --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    The Conflict Between What You Want & What You Keep Doing

    You know what you want to change, but somehow you continue to do the very things that keep you from it. In this episode, I explore the inner push and pull that can arise when one part of us wants change while other parts seem invested in keeping things the same. We’ll look at how the identities and patterns we develop can limit our sense of who we are, how less familiar parts of ourselves can reveal themselves, and how making space for more of who we are can create greater freedom and choice. Something to reflect on... At this moment, in this phase of your journey, what do you feel life is inviting you to step into? How do you notice yourself resisting that?  --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    Finding Your Ground Again

    When we get caught up in thinking, planning, doing and reaching for things outside ourselves, it can be surprisingly easy to slip back into self-doubt and worry. In this episode, I share some reflections from my own experience and explore what it can mean to reconnect with the quieter, more spacious awareness beneath all the activity. The second half of the episode is a guided practice to help you step out of the thinking, worrying, doing mind and reconnect with the grounded awareness that's always there. * * * Something to reflect on... Where in your life have you been caught in a momentum of doing, thinking or grasping? What might change if you allowed yourself to dip back into spacious presence more often? --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    In the Spirit of Keeping Going: Remember This

    Life feels like a rollercoaster at times. Hope to hopelessness. Energy to exhaustion. Confidence to doubt. That movement alone can feel disorienting. So in this episode, I offer you two gentle nudges to help you return to centre. One is a way of seeing. The other is a way of being. And as I often do, towards the end I guide you through a simple reflective practice to help you reconnect with the part of you that's feeling under pressure. So if you’re feeling a bit depleted or over it, join me in today’s episode as we come back to what is true. Questions to reflect on: What part of you has been carrying the most right now?How might you meet them where they are? --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    Inviting In What's Next For You

    Is there something you're waiting for? A new home.  A new relationship.  A new opportunity.  A deeper sense of confidence or purpose. Something that's been calling to you for a while, but hasn't quite arrived yet. In this episode, I explore ways to invite in what's next without forcing life to move faster than it wants to. We begin with a mindful moment and a gentle reflection. Then we explore: The benefit of feeling "done" with a situationThe relationship between clarity, direction, and readinessHow creating space can help us reconnect with possibilityWays to make room for what wants to emergeA simple question that helped me explore sovereignty in a new wayYour energy as a form of evidenceWhat if you didn't need to force what's next?

    The Power & Discomfort of Letting Yourself Be Seen

    There are moments in life when something in us wants to step forward. To share an idea. To express a feeling. To start a new project. And yet, alongside that desire, there may be fear. In this episode, I explore the tension between these two energies: the part of us that longs to play, express, and expand, and the part that wants to protect us from discomfort, rejection, and uncertainty. We explore: Why visibility can feel so uncomfortableThe tension between expression and self-protectionFear of rejection, judgement, and getting it wrongWhat creating this podcast has taught meThe freedom that can emerge when we stop listening only to fearHonouring both our need for safety and our desire to fully live✧ Questions to Reflect On What am I being invited to step forward into at this time?Why is this important to me?With warmth, Rachael --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    Trusting Your Own Evolution

    There can be a tendency to think that change happens through force. More effort. More discipline. More pressure. But what if the deepest transformations unfold gently? In this episode, I reflect on the subtle ways life seems to participate in our growth once an intention has been planted. What if we allowed change to happen through relationship with life itself rather than pushing ourselves to instantly transform into a ‘better’ person? We explore: The difference between forcing change and participating in itThe unseen roots of changeHow intention, attention, and action work togetherA short practice at the end to help you connect with what wants to emerge from within you.✧ Questions to Ponder What quality of being is asking to take up more space in my life?In what ways is this already happening?With warmth, Rachael P.S. there are a few random electronic chirpy sounds I couldn’t edit out, thanks for your tolerance!  --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    The Lessons That Keep Returning

    As we approach the middle of the year, this can be a natural time to pause and reflect.  Not just in terms of what's happened on the outside, but of the inner changes we've been led to through the challenges, joys, and ordinary moments of daily life. This episode is an opportunity to revisit some of the central themes we've explored on the podcast so far - like presence, giving space to our feelings, self-trust, and learning to meet life with curiosity rather than resistance. I share a few reflections from my own journey through the first half of the year, and invite you to consider what this season has been asking of you. ✧ Questions to Ponder • What feels more true now than it did six months ago? • What has genuinely nourished me lately? • What would it look like to move through the second half of the year with more self-trust? --- Thanks for listening!  🪞 Want to go deeper?   FREE VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.
