OPENHOUSE - a fresh, fun and real podcast that explores the amazing impact that therapy and human connection can have on all areas of our lives. We live in a society where so much is left unsaid and we often suppress, avoid and distract ourselves from the things that truly need our attention. Therapy remains an inaccessible, stigmatised and cost-prohibitive activity, but it has been a truly life-changing experience for me - enabling me to understand myself and my life so far. It has helped me to navigate the good times, the bad times and everything in between.
If you've ever found yourself asking “ugh, why is this not working for me” even though you're “doing the work,” this episode is your answer. Monica Yates is living proof that you can have it all: softness, power, a multi-million dollar business, a deeply loving relationship, a soulmate, a baby on the way, and a New York Times bestseller. But the path there might not look the way you think. In this raw, honest, girl talk episode, we explore how Monica's journey began with healing her hormones and getting her period back after years of dysfunction, and how her evolution—shedding the “cold-hearted, IDGAF independent woman” identity and moving through a debilitating accident—pushed her to finally learn how to receive from those around her (and later, men). She shares how this journey led her to meet “the one”, why having a partner who provides is important to her, and how she maintains polarity in love while being the breadwinner in her relationship. Louise and Monica talk about why surrender, softness, and alignment are actually the fastest way forward. For those of us who tend to push harder, this episode is an invitation to slow down, to soften… and maybe even, to speed up. Did you enjoy this episode? DM me!
The most life-changing thing I've done since starting therapy? Understanding my Human Design. In this episode, I share how diving into my energetic blueprint helped me make sense of everything—from being a 3/6 Martyr–Role Model (someone who learns through trial and error) to living as The Living Contrast (always feeling both expansive, moving and caged), and discovering I have The Right Angle Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix in my chart (literally designed to burn things down and start again), I've finally started to see seen, heard and understood for the beautiful, complex fluid mess that I feel within my life, head and body. But what I once thought was chaos, I now see as coded. I'm not a mess—I'm a system, a transmission, and now I finally know how to use it. I'm so excited to share this episode with you and share how you can build your own energetic architecture too using Chat GPT and a free energetic blueprint PDF I've built for you (linked below!). Did this episode hit? DM me!
Um, OKAY. Human Design hits. It's been a while since I've had an “OMG I HAVE TO SHARE THIS WITH MY HONEYS” moment — but this is it. Just like therapy blew my mind years ago, Human Design has been doing the same recently. It's made me feel so seen, so understood, and honestly… less crazy. (I'll do a solo episode next week on this!) Today, I sit down with Erin Claire Jones — a leading expert in Human Design and the founder of the Human Design Blueprint — to explore how this system can help you understand yourself on a whole new level. Erin walks us through the five Human Design types — Manifesting Generators, Generators, Projectors, Reflectors, and Manifestors — and explains how this isn't just about self-awareness. It's relational. It shapes how you mother your children, love your partner, communicate with colleagues, and build your business. It even affects how easily you manifest. Whether you're skeptical or spiritual, if something helps you feel seen, regulated, and empowered — that's more than enough. So maybe this is your sign to go look up your chart? ✨ START YOUR HUMAN DESIGN JOURNEY ✨→ Get your discounted personalized chart with Erin using code HEALINGHONEYS at checkout — [linked here]→ Purchase Erin's new book: “How Do You Choose?” — A Human Design Guide to What's Best for You in Work, Love, and Life — [link here] ✨ READY TO START YOUR SOMATIC HEALING JOURNEY? ✨ → Free 7 day trial of Daily Devotion (Daily Rituals): HERE
There's a lot of questionable healing advice online — much of it unqualified, ungrounded, and not backed by true psychological or expertise. Today, I'm joined by the most qualified psychotherapist I've ever met. Once a Prima Ballerina, then Miss Canada, and now a Chartered Psychologist (BPS) and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner — among many other things — Ailey Jolie joins us to unpack why so many women are out here striving, achieving, chasing perfection, and building dream lives… all while leaving their internal world in quiet chaos. Ailey breaks down the subtle, sneaky ways women perform and present — especially in dating, career, and sexuality — and why recognising these patterns is essential to rewriting your story and actually beginning to heal. We talk about the difference between being busy and being dangerously disembodied and disconnected, and explore the often misunderstood concept of truly feeling emotions. Ailey also challenges the obsession with “release” culture. We explore somatic traps, spiritual bypassing, ayahuasca highs — and why real healing doesn't come from fireworks, but from slow, grounded integration. This is one for the real healing girls. ✨ READY TO START YOUR SOMATIC HEALING JOURNEY? ✨ → Free 7 day trial of Daily Devotion (Daily Rituals): HERE
Whether you're a Hyper-Independent Woman or a Passenger Princess, today, in this solo episode, I'm diving into these two archetypes that so many of us have experienced. I explore the woman who thrives on control, ambition, and getting sh*t done — and the woman who just wants to be adored, taken care of, and fully cherished. And you know what? There's nothing wrong with EITHER. I break down how these patterns develop, the types of partners each archetype tends to attract, why we often shift between the two, and how to consciously soften into one or galvanize into the other. Plus, I'm getting very real about my own experience as a high-achieving, hyper-independent woman who loves being doted on — but only on my terms. Confusing AF!
Okay this episode is GOLD!! This is girl talk 101, the dating advice you NEED to hear from 2 girls who learned the hard way. Honestly, it's one of my favorite episodes I've recorded in forever. I'm joined by Sabrina Zohar as we get into a straight-talking episode discussing the real tea on healing, why we all keep ‘looping' with men/women, until someone breaks the cycle, the ick vs. the calm, having sex on the first date, sending nudes, the ‘right person, wrong time' myth, and so much more! Sabrina is a relationship coach, entrepreneur, and host of the hit podcast The Sabrina Zohar Show and is known for her no-nonsense approach to dating, healing, and self-worth, she brings a refreshing blend of honesty, humor, and deep insight to every conversation and TELLS YOU HOW IT IS. You're going to love it.
In this solo deep-dive, Louise gets real about aging in a world that wants you frozen. After years of saying no to Botox—even though she sometimes wants to—Louise shares exactly what she's been doing instead, and why this skin-from-within journey isn't just about skincare... it's about nervous system regulation, cellular energy, and building radiance from the inside out. Louise dives into: Unfiltered honesty about Botox, fear, beauty culture, and the “do I? don't I?” dilemma Her reaction to Botox that nearly put her in the hospital Louise's exact skincare alternatives: HIFU, red light therapy, microcurrent, and the one peptide she swears by The science behind collagen loss, glycation, hydration, inflammation, and how cortisol literally steals your glow Food as beauty: what to eat (and avoid) for glowing, healthy skin The gut–skin axis, zombie cells (yes, really), and why probiotics and chia pudding matter Louise's personal skin rituals, product recs, and hydration hacks And of course: the emotional + energetic piece.

GUYS. You are NOT ready for this one. In today's episode, I'm telling my crazy soul tie story—the kind of magnetic, can't-let-go connection that felt like it takes over your body from the inside out (quite literally). I'm breaking down what a soul tie really is, karmic and past-life connections, how this soul-tie impacted my physical, mental and emotional health, why it's not just 'all in your head' but why we also often romanticize emotional unavailability as “divine timing” in the 3D. If you've ever felt truly addicted to someone and feel them deep in your soul —this one's going to hit.
Are you sometimes chill and secure… and other times totally anxious? Maybe you're fine when you're single but lose it the second someone shows up in your love life. Is it possible for your anxious attachment to only kick in sometimes? In this HOTLINE episode of Healing Honeys, Louise dives into exactly that. She breaks down why attachment styles aren't set in stone — how you can feel secure in one situation and completely dysregulated in another. She also explores how abandonment wounds, vulnerability, fears, and hidden shame can flare up only sometimes (and why). If you've ever felt like dating throws you into emotional chaos, this episode is for you. Louise shares grounding insights, tools, and real-talk advice to help you navigate love — without losing yourself in the process.
This one's for the stepmoms. In this Hotline episode, we're diving deep into the emotional complexities of blended families with expert (and co-parent) Stephanie Therapy. Together, we unpack the unique challenges stepmothers face — from navigating feelings of resentment and abandonment to managing the realities of co-parenting (or parallel parenting) with an ex, their family, all while balancing the impact it (and the other parent) can have on your current relationship. This one's honest, validating, and for anyone who's ever thought… Why does this feel so hard?
Do you feel a silent but relentless drive to prove yourself—to prove that you can do it, that you're enough, that you're capable, that you can get where you want to go? Do you sometimes wonder if others have it “easier” or wish that things were simpler or easier for you? This week, I dive into all things “Underdog Mindset” because it's something I know all too well. Born out of my own sibling rivalry with my brother, I've lived this & it still pervades every aspect of my life today - driving my insane ambition, overworking and drive for success. I dive into this, Tom Brady's journey from underdog to champion, and how this trait can be a blessing and a curse (did someone say alienated, isolated, and angry?). If you can relate, you're not alone and I've got you.
I can't believe I get to gift you a free WHOOP 4.0! Head here to redeem it: https://join.whoop.com/healinghoneys What makes someone truly charismatic? In this episode of Healing Honeys, I break down what charisma and energy really are. I dive into: The science behind charisma—and why it's really an energetic experience Fascinating research from Princeton on the two key drivers of charisma (and why balance is everything) The role of your biofield, heart coherence, and emotional frequency in building magnetic energy How sleep, nervous system regulation, and self-worth shape the way others perceive you Practical charisma hacks—body language, making others feel valued, and confidence without perfection and more! I love this episode, and I hope you do too!
Guys, I FELL OFF!!!
It always starts out so good, right? The butterflies, the excitement, the electric pull. But what happens next? In this episode, Louise takes you on a deep dive into the psychology and biology of love—from the euphoric highs of initial lust and those heart-racing fanny flutters to the more grounded, regulated, and lasting stages of falling and being in love (yes, there's a difference!) and then falling out of love. She's breaking down every stage of the love cycle, exploring attachment, hormones, and subconscious patterns that shape our relationships. If you're currently obsessing over someone new or wondering ‘Is this still working for me?', this episode is for you so you can get clear on all stages of the love cycle.
#193 - The oversharing hangover is real AF. Ever feel like you've said way too much and been left with that “Whyyyy did I just say that?” or "WTF is wrong with me?" shame spiral? Same, honey. In this episode of Healing Honeys, I'm diving into oversharing—why we do it, how it's tied to our nervous system (hello, fight, flight, fawn!) and neurodivergency too. From hilarious college stories (yes, I REALLY said that on the back of a wedding bus) to unpacking the emotional drivers behind oversharing, I'm serving up a mix of my life to help you understand yours, so you can move on from “why did I say that?” to feeling more empowered about what you choose to share—and with whom.
# 192 Wait, there's a connection between PCOS & lack of boundaries? Yep—let's talk about it. In this episode of Healing Honeys, Louise welcomes Miranda Popen, a hormone nutritionist, to discuss Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and why SO many women are struggling with it today. We dive into: ✨ The link between stress, cortisol, and PCOS symptoms ✨ How people-pleasing and perfectionism impact your hormones ✨ Why your attachment style & inner child wounds play a role in PCOS ✨ The different types of PCOS (yes, there's more than one!) ✨ Why supplements alone won't fix it—and what actually helps ✨ Morning & evening routines for hormone balance ✨ Nutrition tips for managing PCOS ✨ The power of boundaries in regulating your nervous system If you've ever felt frustrated by conflicting advice or overwhelmed by how to manage your PCOS symptoms, this episode will bring clarity, validation, and REAL solutions.

#191 Today, I'm chatting about the root causes of PMDD. Following my powerful conversation with Sophie Milner, where she shared her raw and vulnerable experience with PMDD, I'm breaking down what the doctors might not be telling you —hormonal imbalances, stress, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and more. We'll explore how chronic stress and high cortisol levels disrupt estrogen and progesterone, how blood sugar regulation impacts your symptoms, and why your body's detox pathways play a crucial role in balancing hormones. I'm also sharing holistic tools—from nutrition and supplements to somatic therapy and nervous system regulation—that can help you feel more in control of your body and emotions. If you've been struggling with PMDD and are looking for alternative ways to heal beyond traditional medicine, this episode is for you. You are not alone, and healing is possible. NEED MORE HELP? My go to practitioner to help build a personalised protocol for PMDD is Sarah Murphy, from the Potent Plant. DM her here (@thepotentplant) and mention that you came from Healing Honeys and Louise Rumball for a discount on your plan.
#190 - Do you feel like a different person for half the month? Are you being told ‘it's just PMS' when it feels like SO much more? If you've ever felt like your emotions, thoughts, and mental health are completely hijacked every single month—and no one seems to understand—you're not alone. In this episode, I sit down with Sophie Milner to talk about PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), a condition that affects 1 in 20 women but is wildly underdiagnosed and misunderstood. We get into:

Louise unpacks the conscious or subconscious seductive pull of authority figures, the fantasy-versus-reality struggle in digital relationships, the excitement of exploring kinks and desires, and the emotional toll and confusion when online connections come to an end.

#185 - Today, I'm diving into the concept of expanders and expansion moments—the people who inspire you, stretch your energy, and show you what's possible. We'll explore how expanders help us break through limiting beliefs and bridge the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be—in the most inspiring, expansive, f**k-yes way. I'll walk you through what an expander is, where the concept originated, and how they can help you clarify who YOU want to become (and what you want to achieve). And yes, expanders can show up as envy, jealousy, and “ugh, I hate her” moments too —but that's where the real work begins. This episode takes you on an interactive journey to identify your own expanders, how they show up in different areas of your life, and how to harness their influence to step into your 2025 self.

We share how both of our spiritual journeys began, touching on angel numbers, meaningful coincidences, and synchronicities as the starting point for so many people's spiritual paths. We also explore karmic relationships—how past-life connections can show up to teach lessons through rejection, inconsistency, or emotional growth. From there, we delve into the deep and fascinating world of soul ties, past lives, and those obsessive connections that often mean more than you think. It's soulful, thoughtful, and packed with insights to illuminate your spiritual journey. I'm so excited to go there with you and Kela Rose—I adore her!

In this HOTLINE Episode, Louise dives into two wildly relatable listener submissions: tackling triggering family dynamics, the loneliness of outgrowing old friendships, and finding ways to stay calm, cool, and balanced amidst the family chaos of going home for the holidays.

No matter how tough the holidays feel, it's okay if it's not the “best holiday ever.” Whether you're spending the season with family, friends, or solo, this is your reminder that it's just a season—and you've got this.

Everyone was talking about Sabrina and Steven, and today, I sit down with Steven, one of my closest friends and the star of Love Is Blind UK. We dive into what it's really like to have your love life—and heartbreak—put on blast for the world to dissect. Steven opens up about the brutal realities of reality TV, the emotional toll of internet trolls, and the raw truth that men, too, can be left feeling shattered after breakups. He discusses his shock at the reunion, the pain of re-watching himself fall in love on TV, and why he stayed silent while others created their own versions of the story. He shares how he uses daily tools to stay calm, grounded, and mostly anxiety-free—and how he's evolving, just like everyone else.

It's been a hot minute…. Because I disappeared. And things have been dark AF. Today, I'm opening up about why I disappeared, took an unexpected hiatus from the pod for the first time in 2.5 years and I share about the intense, emotional journey I've been on. We'll rewind to when I was in the best shape of my life—mentally, physically, and spiritually—and how everything took a sudden turn, leading me into adrenal fatigue, burnout, loneliness, and a deep freeze state of depression in my nervous system. I also chat my best friend being on Love Is Blind, my travel plans and more. ⭐ [REDEEM YOUR FREE TRIAL] The SOMATIC GLOW UP with Louise Rumball ⭐https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/daily-devotion With our Daily Devotion monthly membership, complete just one somatic healing practice a day to revolutionize your relationship with yourself and others.

Well, this story is kinda crazy. And what's even crazier? Sometimes we keep bad behavior hidden, secret, and behind closed doors, and it's only when we start to talk about it that we can finally admit that IT WAS NOT OKAY. This week, Louise shares a wild story about her ex and *THAT* thing he did in Marbella. She explores why we accept bad behavior, why we justify it as love, and how, once we start healing, we start to see it for what it truly is—unacceptable. Louise chats through the crazy story and its connection to: Our childhood. Our nervous system. Familial patterns (and how these don't always make sense). Low self-esteem, self-respect, and self-worth. And so much more! Join us in this deeply personal and vulnerable episode as Louise recounts heart-wrenching incidents from probably the most toxic relationship of her life, how it opened the doors to her healing journey, and what light at the end of the tunnel of a “passionate” (read: abusive) relationship looks like in the form of five hard-hitting lessons she learned in therapy.
⭐ SOMATIC SCULPT: HEALING PILATES THAT BURNS WITHOUT DYSREGULATING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ ⭐ Working out all the time and feeling great in the moment? HIIT, spinning classes, bootcamp workouts, you name it. And yet not seeing any REAL changes? Feeling like your body isn't shedding the weight you want? Today we're chatting about how exercise might be the thing that is actually contributing to your dysregulated nervous system, hormonal imbalances and unexplained health issues. This week, former exercise and spin addicts Louise and Sarah Murphy (our resident Integrative Health Practitioner and Biology of Trauma Expert) sit down to discuss: Why we need to re-think intense exercise (even if we're trying to lose weight). Why cortisol isn't always the villain, we think it is. What inflammation actually is (and how it leads to hormonal chaos). How your workout routine might be messing with your nervous system (and your hormones, blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance too!) The sneaky ways undischarged stress causes "unexplained" health issues. What the f**k somatic healing actually is. The game-changing workout routine that transformed Louise's life. And more! Join us on this journey as Louise shares her story—from being a spin addict who couldn't imagine life without intense exercising to realizing the harm it was causing. Learn how turning inwards, gently and gracefully, with the help of somatic healing practices can help you give your body what it ACTUALLY needs. ----- Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Follow Louise on TikTok: @louiserumballxx Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcast Connect with Sarah Murphy: @thepotentplant Start your real somatic healing journey: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.

⭐ REWIRE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM TO REWIRE YOUR ATTRACTION TO THE NONCHALANT MAN/WOMAN: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ ⭐ Today, Louise jams on this solo episode where she talks about: The concept of someone being ‘into you, but not that into you'. 10 signs that they're ‘nonchalant' or going to not give you the princess treatment that you deserve. How often we allow people to treat us badly because we're living in hope and a fantasy land. Bumping into someone from the past at Shoreditch House who ghosted her (and why she is proud of herself). Why people's behavior is 99% of the time a reflection of them, not you (but we always gotta check ourselves, too) Why regulating your nervous system stops you from being attracted to those who are NOT that interested in you + How she learnt this the hard way… And more! Welcome to the critical step in your healing journey, where you understand that you do have control over the types of people you are attracted to and that someone's nonchalance does not reflect who you are as a person. --- Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Follow Louise on TikTok: @louiserumballxx Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcast Start your real somatic healing journey: https://daily-devotion.vhx.tv/ Stay at Hart Shoreditch: https://hartshoreditch.com/ Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone's talking about hormones, am I right? You know when you think you're living your best life, and then one day everything comes crashing down so hard that you have to stop and really reflect on what brought you here? That's exactly what happened to neuro-nutritionist, Kacy Shea - and initially she had no idea it was connected to her hormones. In this incredibly poignant episode, Kacy gets up, close and personal with Louise about how her seemingly perfect life was disrupted when she got sicker than she ever thought possible, forcing her to embark on a deep healing journey through imbalanced hormones and burnout. As a neuro-nutritionist, she knew what to do next. Having turned her life around, Kacy sits down with Louise to discuss: The dopamine-centric lifestyle we find ourselves in. The subtle nudges your body gives to signal issues. The power of hormone testing and blood chemistry. The jaw-dropping test reports that changed Kacy's life. The epidemic of emotional suppression. The psychosomatic approach to healing. Dietary and nutritional facts that everyone should know. And the power of small, sustainable changes. Inspirational and insightful, this episode will take you on an uplifting journey that's going to CHANGE your life and help you get to your THRIVING state - all while learning about hormones - something that everyone talks about but very few people discuss the specifics of! ----- Ready to learn how to level up your life via your nervous system and subconscious mind in just 9 weeks? ⭐Join the There She Glows Waitlist⭐: https://www.thisisopenhouse.com/how-to-rewire-your-subconscious-mind Join OPENHOUSE PREMIUM now at: https://openhouse.supercast.com/ Connect with Kacy Shea on Instagram: theneuronutritionist and iamkacyshea Connect with Louise on Instagram: @iamlouiserumball Follow Louise (The Therapy Girl) on TikTok: @thetherapygirl__ Connect with OPENHOUSE on Instagram: @theopenhousepodcast Vibe With Me by Joakim Karud http://soundcloud.com/joakimkarud Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/-7YDBIGCXs Learn more about your ad choices.
