wild women

I took summer off running my business and guess what, my business didn’t break. In fact I had a huge money month whilst doing the minimum because of the way I’ve set up my business to operate seasonally, cyclically, and without me being ON all the time. 

In business taking time off feels scary in case we drop the ball and fall behind. Yet I believe that taking a whole season off growing my business is helping me leap forward faster and stronger in my business than if I'd soldiered on. I took the entire summer away from working on on my business, and found that by stepping out, I could gladly spend my energy with my family where its needed, and trust that my business won't collapse in the meantime. I've set up structures to allow my income to keep flowing, clients to be served and my own health prioritised so I don't need to be on all the time. This allowed me the chance to re-evaluate the work I am doing, ensure its deeply aligned and of the highest service, so I can work smarter this year and grow sustainably - instead of grinding myself into burn out. This is cyclical business.

Tune in as I share how my intention this year to go bold not hard has looked in quarter 1 of 2024 so far:

• Why I took the summer off, 
• How a cyclical and seasonal approach to business has served me to do this, 
• Why we need to vary strategy, mindset and business tasks by menstrual cycle season, and season of life, 
• How the same approach doesn't keep serving as you grow if you're multipassionate, and as you and your clients evolve. 
• The foundational tasks I have been focused on this season to help me get the right base established, before diving into creation / launch / growth season. 

Here's why, and how you can too.

Breda tries to educate Laura on the referendum but we realise quickly she doesn't know much and her Gemini self has many many many many viewpoints. Laura bocht.. Will she ever be able get a word in edgeways? And where did that dog shit come from?

Enjoy more queer content & wild opinions from your favourite Geeze.

Self Care is not holding your farts in, Perry Menopause is coming for Breda and Laura talks about "No Mother's Day" Cabaret.  

The girls talk fascists at Kingdom Pride and Laura refers to herself as a Slut on RTE radio.
The Geeze think it would be a great idea for them to teach sex education in schools - we need professionals here!
Enjoy season 3 of the podcast and if you like what you hear become a Patreon today for the price of a cup of coffee :)

We're live from the van again in Breda's farm home. Laura recall's a precarious moment with a teacher when she grew in to her boobs and Breda tells a riveting story about a moment in Canada. 

This self care was a brilliant one... Cover Song - Dolly Parton "Tennessee Mountain Home".

Modern visionary medicine woman and integrative medical doctor Dr. Leila Sadien deep dives with us on some powerful topics.

Hello dear listeners. Simplifying life is a way of returning to the roots of your being, and in this pursuit to live more intentionally, I have left social media to concentrate on offering new poetry, meditations and courses on Substack.

My time is spent here now, so I hope you will join me (think less 'attention deficit blackhole' and more 'intentional infinite space'!) Nourishing content is sent to your private email space on a weekly basis.

For now, here are some clips I've put together from the new private podcast, called Sit With Sez which I send out every Monday. I love being a part of your journey and look forward to connecting with you and any questions you have in the comments!

SEZ' NEW POETRY BOOK 

Enjoy the live version of The Irish Fanny Song, with special surprise appearance from our vulva mask! Can't say we were able to keep the table dry. Breda recalls her first job at the Ballinasloe Horse Fair carnival handing out bagged goldfish and her knife wielding boss. Laura recalls the scraps that would go down in an all-girl Catholic school  & of course more Self Care is.. from you.. the general Irish public. We love ye! 

Our Valentines Day episode.. or should we say, Galentines Day/Dino Day for the Licolotapuss' listening. Breda and Laura try to unpack what Love really means to them? With some embarrassing venerability,  distain for pressure put around the word, love after grief and some sexy grape play. 
We woud LOVE for you to join us, or watch the video on our youtube Channel.

Laura recalls her first night working at the strip club and Breda has an echo experience at her home help gig. We argue about the car, talk silly conspiracy theories and have the usual hilarious input from yourselves on what self care is.

Feminine has been prosecuted for centuries for its power and wisdom. The mind is afraid of what it doesn’t know. Let’s be brave and look at what has been happening and what can we do, as sisters, to face it, heal it and transcendent it. The world needs Love, Unity and Community now more than ever.

Soulful Transmissions is a series at Timeless Teachings podcast with insights and wisdom from a deeply meditative state.

SEZ ON SUBSTACK

Allow earth to yawn open and devour you whole or salt to carry your body across its foamy shoulders and rest in the knowing that you are being cared for. Your body will be balmed in honey and butter will be dripped over heart, tobacco and cornflour cast at your feet, the crown of your head wrapped in laurels and red powder blown across your face. And as you make sacred of nature, so does she make sacred of you. Reciprocity.

This episode of the podcast I speak to Red K Elders the ethereal graphite artist that draws the Gods. Her beautiful work sells across the globe, but this is just one incarnation of Red’s life and achievements. We discuss Red’s roots and her moving to London and setting up her own Ad agency in her 20’s. Red generously shares with us her brave and heartfelt tale of strongly following her gut and giving up her glamorous London life and success to be completely alone…in the forest. 

I am so excited that Red shared her amazing life story, lived, not by halves and with such passion and intent. I know we could have recorded an entire series from her amazing tales. 

No! Not That way! This way! Is a place to explore what happens when we listen to, or ignore our gut feeling. That inner wisdom that I believe can guide us all if we let it. This is a place to tell the stories of how our work and lives are shaped by tuning in, or very often tuning out of our own inner wisdom and the interesting, inspiring and often wonky paths that can lead so many of us down. I am lucky enough to have worked in 5 industries, Film, Costume, Luxury Events in Tech and Food & Wine so this is a place where I will be asking my friends from across these industries what has led them to where they are now, and where is the wonky path…

Blessings beautiful souls! I'm back with a life update like no other! Turning my most recent injury into energy, and allowing all the downloads and messages to be shared with you all.
I am currently recovering from an experience that took away moment in my dominant hand momentarily which is giving my voice and my truth a deeper way to communicate.

No amount of pain can take me away from the path I am chosen  to walk on. 

Dropping in to share Out loud what I am receiving within from this whole injury, into energy, into an awakening, which is ultimately an initiation back into the WARRIOR WITHIN. Everything that happens to us is given to us as a gift when we choose to listen and receive it as such. 
Forever finding the beauty in all things, and I pray for all beings to do the same!
I hope this story and these messages are able to touch you and open you in whichever ways they are meant to.

NOTE on this week's episode! If you would like to enhance this practice please take your shoes and socks off while you listen.

We all long to live life a little more barefooted, freer to express ourselves, untamed by the external environment, but like our planet, we have created urbanized precious areas that sever us from our naturally wild nature. This is a 10-minute talk, 11-minute guided meditation, 3-minute ending. Learn to rewild areas within your psyche that have longed to be left to heal naturally. Thank you for sharing, commenting, or reviewing if it resonates, and stay wild, dear child. Sez
