In this week's episode I'm talking about the power of going into the depths of our emotions, specifically those emotions we tend to try and avoid, the so-called 'negative emotions' and the power that awaits us when we allow ourselves to speak it all out, what's irritating us, what's going on for us right now, what's driving us nuts, what's making us angry, all of it, letting it all out and really going there. I would love to hear your thoughts and if you're really feeling like you're 'in it' at the moment.

In this week's episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast I share an image I have of a personal "ballot box" filled with golden tokens, representing acts of self-resourcing and self-love.

In this episode I speak about perfectionism and how I've moved from Perfectionist to 'Recovering Perfectionist' as I dance the path of imperfection and messiness!This episode was originally recorded in May 2023....and then perfectionism hit, and something happened with the audio and I couldn't find the original recording so I thought, ok I'll just rerecord this at another date. And I still haven't almost 2 years later and I've just come across the episode waiting in my drafts section and have reluctantly listened to it. So in the spirit of my recovery from perfectionism I am releasing it into the world in its imperfect form! Ahhhhh. Enjoy and I would love to hear any feedback you have (not so much on the crappy audio/tech issues!) about the episode. Thanks for listening and see you next time :) If you're interested in exploring more about the topic of 'Voice & Courage' which incidently is wildly linked to this episode (the universe works in mysterious and wonderful ways bringing this episode back into my awareness now!)....I'm holding a women's circle on Wednesday 26th February on Zoom from 8pm - 9.30pm and then theme is Voice & Courage.

This episode is an update on what's been going on from my place of hibernation. I'm still in full on wintering mode and having to stay aware of the forces at play that are trying to convince me to get up and get moving. The counter-cultural non-productive, slow-moving, resting and being needs my protection and is quite the act of reclamation in a world that wills us to do the very opposite. Let's stay in Wintering for another while yet….are you in?!

In this episode I speak about the menstrual cycle and how pre-menstrual energy can often be a good time for decluttering and letting go. That delicious wild woman energy.

In this episode I give you my practical tips for reducing how much outside influence we allow in and how to dodge the distractions. We are bombarded everyday with so many nudges to need more, want more and buy more.

This episode is all about the process of simplifying and letting go and how it's not a linear process. It's a process of spiralling deeper and deeper into ourselves as we gain more clarity of what it is we want in life, what we want our life to look like, and how we want to feel. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world and decluttering our physical belongings can be a catalyst for a deeper letting go and transformation of our whole life.

In this episode I share a visual that recently came to me which represents the restriction I have felt in my life from being hooked into all the ideals and expectations that society and others have of me, and then the freedom I have experienced from unhooking (often repeatedly!) from these societal, cultural and familial expectations and limitations. I would love to know what you have been unhooking from in your life and what visual (or sound or feeling or smell or taste!) represents freedom to you.
