    What Should I Be Doing?

    What should I be doing with my life? What’s the right next step? Which path should I take? When we don’t know, it can be tempting to try to think our way to an answer, researching, weighing up options, and putting tonnes of pressure on ourselves.  But what if ‘should’ is the wrong word? In this episode, I explore the difference between what we think we should want and what a deeper part of us wants. From career choices to the way we spend an ordinary afternoon, what changes when we stop looking for the perfect answer and start paying attention to what makes us curious, what we desire and what gives us energy? I also introduce three words I’ve been playing with: Ground · Open · Play. An approach to change that honours who you are and doesn’t require force. I hope this brings relief. --- Thanks for listening!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    Guided Practice: From Reaction to Choice

    We all have moments when strong emotions take hold, and we feel ourselves getting caught in familiar reactions. In this guided meditation, I invite you to turn towards what’s happening within you, get curious about the patterns underneath the reaction, and create some space for a new response. Find a quiet space, get comfortable, and join me when you’re ready. --- Thanks for listening!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.

    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!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED 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!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED 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!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED 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!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED 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!  · Ways to go deeper · GET MY FREE GUIDED VISUALISATION Journey ‘Into Deep Trust’ to connect with an internal source of support and guidance as you move forward on your path.
