It can leave you feeling so lonely and helpless. We've all been taught how to be courageous when we face physical threats but when it comes to matters of the heart and soul we are often left to learn, "the hard way."As a school teacher for over 30+ years, struggling with these very issues, my doctor suggested...

In 2018 I sat down with one of the great spiritual teachers, authors, and poets of our time. During that conversation Mark Nepo asked a question that shook me:"When my heart begins to close, how do I open it again?"My life, my work, and the trajectory of the podcast shifted as a result. The question was presented not as a simple one, with a static answer,But rather as an inquiry to live into - Allowing life's experiences to reveal the answers over time.In 2023 Mark came back on the show to take a deeper and more expansive dive into this beautiful question and the broader terrain of heart work.In this episode we cover 3 conversational chapters. 1. How do we open the heart in the face of a storm? 2. How do we follow our heart and engage in the practice of being real as we make the courageous journey toward wholeness? 3. How can we meet life's adversities, and challenges from a place of love vs. fear?What unfolded here was 5 years in the making, and remains one of the more popular episodes we've put out to date. So today we thought we'd re release it as part of season 5. We hope you enjoy!  For more on Mark including his wonderful book Surviving Storms: Finding the Strength to Meet Adversity please visit marknepo.com.Enjoying the show?

Tap to send me your reflections ♡In this episode I'm joined by the ever-wonderful Adam Lind - coach, author, speaker and narrowboat dweller - for a rich, honest conversation about vulnerability, creativity and the winding path toward a life of internal freedom.Adam shares the profound challenge of losing his father when he was still just a teenager himself - and how that has informed his life choices: to create a life less ordinary.We talk about writing, as a deeply personal process, the pull between being of service and staying in integrity, and what happens when we start telling the truth about how we really are (even in Tesco). We reflect on loss and grief, success and self-expression, certainty and the freedom to not know - and the deeply human longing for safety in an uncertain world.Adam's new book, Floating Home: a life less ordinary, is an invitation to seek freedom, joy, and connection, wherever you call home. And I'm honoured to say that part of it was written here, on Adam's solo retreat at Bach Brook.As always, this is a conversation that moves gently through different spaces - from laughter to tears, lightness to depth - and lands, ultimately, in love.PRE-ORDER Floating Home: a life less ordinary by Adam Lind published Sept '25 https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/floating-home-lessons-from-a-life-less-ordinary-adam-lind/7814635?ean=9781526683526CONNECT WITH ADAM@adam.floatinghome *** BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL WITH HENNY A free 60-minute call to explore how coaching together could support you https://calendly.com/hennyflynn/henny-60 RECEIVE (ALMOST) DAILY TINY MESSAGES OF LOVE Sign-up for everyday ♡ compassion https://hennyflynn.ck.page/everyday-compassion EXPLORE SOLO RETREATS AT BACH BROOK Take time to rest, reflect, reconnect - fully cared for in a place of natural beauty https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/Solo-Retreats BOOKS, EVENTS, FREE RESOURCES & COURSES https://www.hennyflynn.co.uk/

In extraordinary times, fear and despair can feel overpowering. But what if the opposite is true? In this special bonus episode, I share a deeply personal reflection on the battle between light and dark—both in the world and within ourselves. I explore the ways fear tries to convince us that all is lost, and how we can recognize the quiet, unwavering voice of truth and love instead. If you've been feeling anxious, hopeless, or overwhelmed, this episode is here to remind you: Love is always stronger than fear.What You'll Discover in This Episode:

I never allowed my children to use the word “HATE.” I never thought I would say this, but it seems like hate has replaced common sense. A difference of perspective is breaking up friendships and families. Stories are distorted and truth has become political. Although in many ways the world has united, it stands very […]

Join me as we reflect on how to reignite hope in your search for love, and why choosing to believe in yourself is the first step towards finding a meaningful relationship. This episode is a reminder that love starts from within and how embracing your value can transform your dating journey. In this episode, we discuss: The importance of vulnerability and taking the first step towards finding love, whether it's attending singles events or simply starting a conversation. My personal journey through difficult times and how those experiences shaped my understanding of love and self-worth. The misconception that someone else completes you, and why the most impactful relationship you'll have is the one with yourself. How to pour into yourself and become your own advocate, including practical steps to finding joy and fulfillment solo. Why having high standards is about seeking a high-value relationship rather than a “high-value” person. As we move through the new year, let this episode be your guide to putting yourself first and understanding that true love begins with choosing yourself every day.

Let's be honest: we all wanna win, right? The argument, the competition, the promotion, you name it -- we wanna be on top. The hardest thing to do is to choose loving someone else (especially someone you don't vibe with) over our pride. ESPECIALLY when that person is belittling you, insulting you, or straight up attacking you. Sometimes we don't even want to love other people and would rather see them lose more than anything else. But when this is our heart posture and mindset, we actually end up hurting ourselves more than anyone else. In this episode, we're talking how we can shift our heart posture to one of love instead of our default posture -- pride -- and how that helps us to find more peace, purpose, and community in life.

We stand at a crossroads. Will we react from a place of fear, perpetuating the cycles of conflict and separation? Or will we respond from a place of love, opening up new possibilities for connection and growth? These choices might seem small, insignificant even. A kind word to a stranger. A moment of patience in traffic. A decision to listen deeply to someone with a different perspective. But these micro-choices are the very fabric of our shared reality. This episode is an exploration of that choice – the choice between love and fear. It's a roadmap for those moments when the path isn't clear, a toolkit for building resilience in the face of challenges, and a source of inspiration for those times when choosing love feels like swimming against the current.
