Episode 49 
In this episode, I share what holistic wellbeing is, what it means to me, how I support my clients in a truly holistic way, and why I am so deeply passionate about this therapeutic and personalised approach, in every way.  I talk about pillars and themes of wellbeing, to see ourselves as whole beings, and as truly unique individuals.  How connected all part of ourselves are, and how we can support ourselves to feel more calm, connected and confident, in all aspects of ourselves and our lives.  This is the holistic and compassionate support I bring to all my clients, and have a deep passion and devotion to. As I combine all my therapeutic expertise and modalities as a therapist, coach, wellness practitioner, meditation teacher, to supporting you to overcome stress and anxiety, and to feel calm and ease through change and transition in your heart and life.  Listen in, and enjoy, and if you know someone who would love to to hear this, then please do share.

Episode 48 
​I've been thinking about positivity and optimism and their differences.  I wonder if these terms and 'hashtags' we use - #minsdetiseverything and #positivemindset  - are truly, everything. Or are they terms we use, so often, in this coaching/self improvement and self development space, that can feel supportive to some degree - also, depending on our life circumstances. Or can they, at times, actually create the opposite of positivity, and instill feelings of lack or failure, if we can't truly live up to this. Is the answer - yes, mindset is everything, but perhaps not without our heart connection too. Or perhaps it's not a positive mindset, but an optimistic outlook, that's far more valuable, supportive and brings all the feelings I believe in so much - calm, ease, connection and confidence within - from this optimistic place.  I know there are so many various schools of thought on this, and I want to share, in this episode, just a little of what I mean and feel.  Why I personally choose and favour optimism over positivity.  And I encourage you to reflect on what feels most true and supportive for you.  You might agree, or disagree - and I invite you to share your thoughts, as I'd love to hear and know.     ​

Episode 47 
What a delight to share this conversation today. Kim is a writer, singer & coach and she has a fierce passion and devotion to support and liberate artists, to speak up and be a warrior for the gifts they have to share, to know their worth, to help them remember who they are, and to feel alive.  Beautiful themes for so many of us, as creatives, and self expression being a huge part of wellbeing.  
In this conversation, we talk about so many nourishing and beautiful things - Kim's work as a voice coach; the impact of covid for artists and musicians; that we are all artists and creatives in our own lives and claiming this within ourselves; a sense of worthiness and feeling enough that many of us struggle with; music and artistry as a homecoming to self; devotion over discipline; how to handle criticism and see failure as empowering growth; and more!
