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?

Sharing how self-love is the foundation for real love, why you must live authentically, and how fear-driven choices will always betray your soul.From heartbreak to healing, my journey reminds us:You don't need their approval to live your truth.Listen if you've ever struggled between love and expectations, this one will feel like coming home.

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).

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 […]

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.
