The Future Edit

What happens if everything you knew disappeared? Your marriage, your home, your career and your sense of self? How do you pick yourself up again and keep going? Valentina from Enamor Kitchen knows all about this: from moving to Germany from Columbia to be with the one she loved, to going through a divorce, to just starting up her food business to then have covid mess it up. But Valentina did not give up, she kept going and through what felt like hitting rock bottom, she picked herself up and kept running. Through therapy, self-love, acceptance and determination, Valentina is now finally in a place she calls home. Even though we are all works in progress, it feels great to say, you know what I'm ok.

Join me this week as I chat with Valentina about her trials, her successes and her new found acceptance.

Valentina is the owner and chef of Enamor Kitchen, the best latin food around!

We've all heard of the kid that was bullied in school or we saw it first hand. Did we do anything about it, have you thought about how the bullying might affect this kid and what trauma it can cause it their life. Why do kids bullying and how does one heal from bullying?

This week I chat with Jenny Dalton, author of Of Butterflies and Bullies and founder of The Better Friends Club. We talk about her experience with bullying as a kid and how she's healed from this and her journey to truly excepting herself for who she is. We talk about how she wants to help women form better friendships and build a better community for themselves.

Have you thought about how you spend your time and energy? Do you have issues setting boundaries or allow yourself to get caught up in things that don't matter, instead of moving forward and focusing in on what truly does?
How many of us have been condition to just be busy, always busy, look busy, but when it actually comes to productivity nothing is happening?
This week I chat with Verena from Seipp Coaching about how important it is to understand where we are spending our time, understanding our thought process and allowing ourselves to work in a way that works for us and not what society tells us is right.
Time management is very important, but also where we spend our energy is just as important.
Verena guides us through ways to help acknowledge our thought patterns, reminds us to be kind to ourselves on our individual journeys and to take a moment every day to breath and be present.

When it comes to self-care, there are so many ways to do this: meditation, yoga, exercise, therapy, but have you ever considered Reiki? 
I had heard of it before but was a bit unsure whether or not I was up for trying it, then forgot about it, but as the universe does, it brought it back to me. Luckily, I found Clare from Reiki Blossom and viola my I had begun my reiki journey. I have seen amazing results since I've started.

“Sometimes it takes hitting rock bottom to finally find yourself.” For Kelly Bond this was the case. After finding out she was having blood clots in her lungs and legs while pregnant, Kelly had to start digging deep within for strength for herself and for her small child. Having a child in general without any complications is difficult enough but having a life threatening condition takes being a brand new mom to a whole new level. 

This week I chat with Kelly Bond about her journey from being a pro-athlete, to finding out about her health condition to becoming a new mom to hitting rock bottom to where she is now. Kelly is the head of marketing for Inspired Ventures, an instructor at Bear Grylls Survival Academy, Chief Happiness Officer for the World Happiness Project, an Adventure Catalyst for Three Beacons and an ambassador for The Salty Club. Kelly’s mission is to encourage women to find their strength through adventure and the outdoors. She wants women to find their power within themselves, to find their joy in the everyday and to love their life fully. 

Please join me in this beautiful beautiful conversation with Kelly .

Life is a journey. For some of us our inner journey starts later in life. Something happens in our life that forces us on our own journey, on our path to the life we’re meant to live. How many of you have lived your life according to our people’s expectations of you? How many of you were dying inside, depressed, unwell physically until you started to take back control of your life? Taking back your power, making decisions based on what you want and not what other people want is the best gift you can give yourself. Now this doesn’t mean it’s easy or there isn’t uber amounts of fear to overcome, of course there is, but you plough through it until you get to the other side. And then you look back so proud of how far you’ve come.

This week on the podcast I chat with Oez from Find Good Art about her journey to where she is now. Oez thought she had it all figured out, she had the high paying job, husband, kid and status, but something inside wasn’t right. She knew something had to change, but what or how? Luckily, life gave her an opportunity to start her own journey. She may have left the job, left the husband and lost the status but now is the first time in her life she is living for her. 

Join us while Oez shares her journey, the ups and downs of her current journey, what steps she took to a happier and healthier her and she also gives advice to those women out there desperate to take back there lives.

What do sustainable fashion, spirituality and scents have in common? There is no right or wrong answer here, but I would say they all help you to express your true self or help you to explore and find your true, higher self.  Fashion hasn’t always been associated with spirituality, but recently I am finding more and more high profile fashion editors, designers and influencers turning away from the so-called fashion life and incorporating more spirituality in their every day and some even walking away from fashion completely to discover the world inside themselves. But I still believe you can combine fashion and spirituality together. Many of us express ourselves through our clothing, well I do, but I came to a point in my life where I found fashion boring, shallow and realised it wasn't bringing me joy like it used to. So I went on( or shall I say still am), spiritual journey to find my purpose, my soul’s calling, my true self and while doing this I’ve become more confident in the person I am, so this reflects in my style as well. I’ve also realised my awareness to the brands I choose, the materials. I. wear and how I represent myself to the world. I no longer need to fill the gap in my heart with useless cheap clothing items. I am now more conscientious of my buying choices. 

This week on the podcast I chat with fashion sustainable expert, Kim Gerlach from Sun and Rise about her spiritual journey and how she’s incorporating more spiritual rituals into her daily life. We talk about her current projects including her Reflection stickers that help with journal prompting, asking the right questions to help you with your journal journey and her scent workshops. I honestly had no idea how powerful scent is. Listen and learn!!!

Dreams… most of us have them. Some are so vivid and so surreal, you can’t stop thinking about them throughout the day. Not everyone can remember their dreams, but there are ways to remember. Our dreams are like windows into our sub-conscious, twisting and turning our thoughts, worries, and fantasies into crazy movie like images. Some leaving us bewildered by what we just experienced. 

What do our dreams mean? Is there really any meaning at all? Why do some of us remember our dreams and others of us can’t?

In this week’s episode I chat with artist and author, Nicole Chilton about her book, “How Dreams Speak.” We chat about dream meanings and symbols, learning how to remember your dreams and how to incorporate your dream knowledge into your everyday life. Nicole talks about her vivid dreams, avid dream journalling and the process of writing her book. It’s such an interesting and educational episode. One not to miss!!!!!

In this week’s episode #08 I chat with co-founders, Sophia and Friederike from Maeva Retreats. We talk about their individual work as yoga instructors and intuition coaches and their yoga retreats they organise together.
Each believes in the power of intuition, meditation and stillness. They incorporate these elements into their everyday lives, as well as their work and their retreats. They believe each of us has the power to change our thinking and to truly love ourselves but we must be willing to do the work, to sit in stillness so we can hear our inner voice.

Sophia and Friederike give their clients tools to help incorporate new ways of thinking into their everyday lives so they can start asking themselves the right questions and create the life they deserve.

Please have a listen, it’s a beautiful episode.

So it hasn't quite been your year, a lot of change has happened, too much unfamiliar territory to explore and many daunting feelings. Where did all your excitement, joy, exploration and every day magic for life disappear too?
This week on the podcast I chat with journalist Emma Howarth about her year of finding her magic again in her book, The Year of Mystical Thinking. We talk about her journey to finding the magic in the everyday, how the book came about and how it's not necessary to run off to Bali to find what you're looking for, it's right here where you are, magic is all around you.
Each month she explores a new spiritual adventure/ritual to help her dig deep into her self-exploration and to rediscover her magic.

Have you ever lived somewhere that just didn't seem right? Like it was fine, but there was this feeling that it wasn't home? What if there was a place that was just right for you, that brought out the best in you? Or when you visit a place on holiday it just feels right?
This does exist and it's called Astrocartography. Astrocartography is the study of the exact coordinates of your birth chart at the time you where born. It shows which areas in the world are better for you to visit or to live.
In this week's episode I chat with Human Design and Astrocartography expert, Amanda Barnett from Barney and Flow about both human design and we dig in to astrocartography and what it means for you.
I highly recommend this episode to learn more about how you can learn where your best lines to live on are.

Have you considered having a spiritual session like tarot, birth chart reading, energy healing, soul purpose reading, psychic reading but have been too nervous to give it a go? Or not sure who to contact or trust with such a thing? 
In this week's episode 05, I give a run down of my personal experience with all my sessions, how they work and what I got out of them.
It's important to note that you must find what resonates with you. Maybe a birth chart reading is not your bag but a tarot reading is. Sharing my personal experience gives you more insight to what you may find curious and want to try for yourself.
