In today's episode I talk about learning to regulate your nervous system through life's ups and downs.

If you struggle to stay regulated through life's difficult moments, I encourage you to have a listen.

In this episode as part of the Cyclical Business Series, I chat with you about the different ways that you can "receive" in business that are not financial.

After a while, this can become exhausting especially if you feel you are not receiving anything in return.

What do we do then? Do we give up? Do we keep trying?
I regularly get asked about the pill. I often hear from people who have been around the block to different medical professionals and holistic health practitioners, and are now back wondering if they should on the pill.

I support you in staying in your agency, staying informed, staying connected to yourself so that you can make the best decision for your quality of life.
In this week's episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Ellen Franklyn-Carr all about what it means to be busy from a place of ease.

In this episode, I share with you my own personal relationship with driving and why I have had my challenges with it as a result of trauma.
