Awaken Radio Podcast | Heart-opening Conversations & Inspiring Interviews On Happiness, Health, Self-love & Spirituality

Many of us are experiencing significant changes rippling through our lives and unfolding within ourselves at the moment. We are in a time of upgrade, and there is an inner push to begin to step up and show up in new and bigger ways.However, alongside all of these exciting shifts and changes, there is also a lot of resistance arising. By resistance I mean, procrastination, discomfort, wanting to avoid or put things off, emotional eating, distracting yourself on your phone, finding it hard to sit still and be alone, heaviness, fatigue and generally as though part of you is wanting to pull back and run away from all that you are being called into. Now is our time to work through all of this. So, today on the podcast I will be diving deeper into the themes of life upgrades and moving through resistance and offering you tools and support to navigate this energy.In this episode, I cover:+ The current energy themes and how this energy may be impacting you at the moment.+ Why we are currently in a period of upgrading

In today’s episode, I am exploring how to balance your inner feminine and masculine energy, and this conversation is deeply reflective of what I have been feeling and working through over the past few months.Like many other women, I have often found myself living too connected to my masculine energy which left me feeling like I was always doing, achieving, forcing, controlling, working hard and being up in my head. In the pursuit of my goals (or simply because I was just trying to keep up with everything that needed to get done), I began to neglect my inner feminine essence. I would ignore my bodies cries for rest, play, love, connection, nourishment, pleasure and flow. But I have been bringing things back into balance these past few months and it has been an incredible journey that has absolutely transformed me. So, I felt inspired to come on the podcast today to share everything that has been supporting me and the changes I have been making.In this episode I cover:+ How I have started unravelling from my ol

Welcome to my first Awaken Radio episode for 2019! It has been a gentle and slow start to the year for me, so while it has taken me a while to bring you my first episode for the year, I trust that the timing of it is perfect.Today’s episode is a big one. I share a little about the energy shifts that we as a collective have been going through over the past few months, and why it has been a big time of transition, upleveling and inner shifts. I talk about the key energy themes that we will be working with this year and the core principles we will need to be focusing on and practising. I also offer guidance about how to create a magical 2019 and manifest your desires with ease.In this episode I cover:+ The shift in energy that we experienced as we moved out of 2018 and into 2019, and why it was a challenging adjustment for many of us.+ Why 2019 will be a powerful year of manifestation.+ Why January was a month of transition and left many of us feeling tired, lacking clarity and needing a lot of self-care.+ Why F

As we approach the end of the year, we are in a powerful time of completion.While we may be eager to look ahead, and focus on the new beginnings we want to create, we are instead being asked to slow down and focus on what is here right now.We have the opportunity now to take a look at what remains in our life, and close off old chapters, patterns and cycles completely. This is our time to examine old ways of being that are no longer working. and to integrate the lessons, learnings and growth that each and every experience this year has brought.In this episode I cover:+ Why from now until the end of this year is a time of intense completion.+ The reason you may be feeling internal and introspective at the moment.+ The sacred power of endings, and why they need to be deeply honoured.+ Why you may be noticing patterns of avoidance arising.+ Why life keeps bringing you the same experience over and over.The power and importance of saying No.+ How to uncover the deeper wound, emotion or belief that is keeping you s

After spending much of this year shedding, clearing space, and clarifying what we want, we are now ready to embark on a new chapter.We are ready for our new beginnings, because we have been doing the inner work all year to let go of the old to make space for them. As we come into the final months of this year, you may feel that you have new desires within you that are ready to manifest. These desires may feel big, expansive or outside your comfort zone, and it may feel as though they will take you into a new chapter or into the next level of your life.It could be that on one hand you feel ready for them, but on another you may notice that there are still some shifts that need to happen within your mindset and energy to allow yourself to fully receive them.So in today's episode I wanted to speak about the inner alignment work we can be doing now to prepare for what is ready to flow into our lives. In this episode, I explore how to align with what we now want, so we can step into our next level.In this ep

Many of us are moving through big sacred changes and transitions this year, that are requiring us to surrender to the divine plan of our lives.We are needing to practise letting go, being in the unknown, and deep trust as we listen to our inner guidance and courageously follow it where it is asking us to go. This process can be scary and unsettling. We may not understand why we are making certain changes, or where it is taking us. We may not actually realise that everything is unfolding perfectly, and that there is a higher part of us guiding us, and helping us come into alignment with everything that is right for us.So if you have felt confused or challenged by this process and if you would love to understand the 'divine plan', feel a deeper connection to your intuition and learn how to surrender to it's guidance, then this episode is for you. In this episode I cover:+ How I am personally surrendering to the divine plan, and why I have had to practise a lot of courage and trust.+ The evolution

I have been practising some form of morning routine for the past 10 years, and it has been a game-changer for me.This sacred morning time has helped me deepen my relationship with myself, awaken more of my power, become more in tune with my wants and needs, hear my intuition, connect with my heart and manifest some of my biggest dreams.So today I am walking you through my current morning alignment ritual that I use each day to clear my mind, elevate my energy, embody my power and raise my vibes.I also share a whole range of tips and guidelines that will help you create your own soulful morning ritual that will deeply nourish and empower you, and help you get the most out of each day.In this episode I cover;+ The current energy themes we are working through at the moment.+ Why I began practising a morning routine 10 years ago while in a full-time job.+ A simple morning practise you can implement before heading off to work.+ My top 3 tips to help you become a morning person and wake up early.+ How my morning ro

Most of us find fear quite difficult to work through, and typically when it arises, our tendency is to pull back, hesitate, close off, shut down or even run away. But in today's episode of Awaken Radio, you are going to learn how to change your relationship to fear.Today I am speaking with Katie Dean, who is a coach, speaker & author of the book Becoming Brave, and in this episode she shares a fresh and radically honest approach to handling our challenging emotions, anxieties and discomfort.You will learn how to uncover the messages in your fear, and the power of leaning in and listening to it. You will no longer see fear as a negative experience to avoid, but rather as a chance to learn and grow, and as an opportunity to be brave. In this episode we cover:+ How Katie uncovered the ways in which her life was being ruled by fear, and why it inspired her to write the book Becoming Brave.+ The power of vulnerability, sharing our mess and telling our stories, and how it heals patterns of shame.+ Why all

In today's episode, I am talking about the powerful process of transition and change that many of us (including myself) are moving through at the moment. This is seeing us letting go of old things from our lives, and releasing old parts of ourselves so we can step into a new chapter and move forward in a new direction.This can be a difficult process to navigate as we sometimes find ourselves feeling stuck in a space ‘in-between’ – hovering somewhere between the old and the new, where the old is beginning to fall away but the new is not yet fully formed. At these points we can feel confused, overwhelmed or lost and like the change we are wanting to create will never happen.I can relate to all of these feelings, as I am currently in a big period of transition myself. So I wanted to come on the podcast and share my experience with you, and also offer some tips on how best to navigate the in-between and get yourself moving forward.In this episode I cover:+ The transitions I am currently moving through both w

Are you experiencing deep inner shifts and life changes? Do you have a yearning to step into a new chapter of your life, and finally get onto your true path? If so, you are likely moving through some energetic and spiritual up-levelling! And if you don’t know what I mean by that, don’t worry, because today’s soulful episode will help you to understand this process in a much deeperway.Today I am talking with Carly Stephan and we are diving into the spiritual and energetic realm to talk about waking up to our potential, upgrading our life, raising our vibration and moving forward to follow our inner calling.Carly is a mentor and coach who guides women to align and embody their inner light, and she shares with us how to navigate the ascension process of moving through our shadow and fears, so we can rise into higher state of being and more fulfilling ways of living.Both Carly and I share a lot about our own personal journeys of ‘waking up’ in this episode, so I hope you find it both supportive and inspiring.

Today's episode shares tools and guidance on how to work through challenging emotions, process difficult feelings, and move through periods of stuck-ness, confusion or heaviness.This conversation is an invitation to dive deeper into your feelings and to fully experience them, rather than avoiding them or judging them. I invite you to let yourself feel everything in a much deeper way, and become intimate with innermost feelings and your emotions. As you fully surrender to what you feel and to what life is presenting, and you drop the judgements or labels that make it wrong, you will be able to experience much deeper levels of healing, lightness, peace and flow. In this episode I cover;+ How trying to fix, shift or change how you feel may be making things worse.+ Why 'negative' emotions need to be fully felt, honoured and experienced.+ Why all of your bodies sensations contain precious messages for you.+ The power of listening to your emotions, and holding space for yourself to fully feel them.+

When we feel overwhelmed and under pressure, or like there is too much to do our tendency is to speed up. We begin to hustle, do more, work harder, push and rush to keep up with the demand. But without realising, all we are doing is making it worse. Our bodies become tense, our breathing becomes shallow, our minds become clouded with a million conflicting thoughts, and our energy becomes drained.I recently found myself caught up in one of these spirals of overwhelm and stress, and rather than speeding up, I made a choice that changed everything - I decided to slow down. As a result I was able to find the flow, calm my mind and move forward from a clear and empowered space.This experience inspired me to come onto the podcast and share with you some powerful principles and tools that will support you break out of the hypnotic trance of hustle and doing, and instead shift into ease, flow and peace.In this episode I cover;+ How I shifted myself out of an overwhelm meltdown.+ Why pushing and hustling is not the mo

After a long break, Awaken Radio is back! In this first episode of 2018, I am sharing my key reflections, lessons and learning's from 2017.

When you're moving through periods of change, expansion, up-levelling and the unknown, it is easy for fear-based thinking to get triggered. You may get caught in worry, anxiety and over-analysing, and you may doubt whether the universe will actually support you in stepping into what you desire.When this happens it is important to know how to shift your energy and your mindset back into a space of faith, ease, trust and surrender so you can re-connect with your inner guidance and feel supported and grounded.So in today's episode I am sharing with you the 4 step process that I personally practise, to shift myself out of fear and into faith.I cover;+ Why a faith mindset is the key to finding inner peace while living outside your comfort zone and navigating the unknown.+ Why practising faith means trusting in what you feel, rather then what you see.+ The indicators that fear has taken over your mind.+ Why work addiction, doing addiction and inability to slow down, is actually being driven by fear.+ How

Without even realising, many of us are living lives that are not aligned with our authentic self. We are playing roles to fit in, modifying ourselves to get love, and wearing masks to suppress what we truly feel and believe. But what if you could break free of all of that and live a life on your terms? What if you could be loved for standing in your power and being who you truly are? In today's episode, I speak with life coach Mary Hyatt about the journey of coming alive, being your authentic self and learning to deeply love yourself.We discuss & explore:+ How Mary broke free of people pleasing patterns and feeling dead inside in order to find her authentic self and come fully alive.+ The powerful questions you can use to begin to discover your true, authentic self.+ How to break free of the roles, masks, identities and inauthentic ways of being that you have been playing to make others happy.+ The power of deeply listening to yourself, what you love and what feels good. + Why living with curiosity,

I explore lessons on grief, love, loss, receiving, expansion, spiritual faith, alignment and living on purpose.I share how to embrace and move through the various cycles of life – both those that feel expansive, light and abundant, and those that feel dark, challenging and painful.And I remind you that after every period of darkness, comes light. After every contraction comes expansion. After every ending comes a new beginning. And after every setback comes a new possibility.Today I discuss;+ Why your life experiences, challenges and lessons are what you are here to teach others.+ Why grief is such a key part of life, and why every ending, every closure and letting go, requires some form of grieving process.+ How to move through and process big periods of emotion.+ Why pain and heartbreak serve a divine purpose in cracking your heart open and expanding you

I recently had an amazing experience where something I had been working on manifesting for 6 months, suddenly dropped into my lap. It did not come about through planning, hustling, controlling and over-thinking it, but rather through energy alignment, intuitively guided action and lots of surrender. This is such a powerful and effortless way of creating our dreams, so I felt inspired to come on the podcast today and share more about my manifestation process with you.In this episode I share;+ Why you need to connect with your desires every day in order to manifest them.+ The difference between making your desires happen, versus manifesting from your intuition. + The importance of focusing on what you do want, rather than what you don’t want.+ Why manifestation is more about energy than action. + How to clear the mindset blocks that may be holding you back from what want.+ Why loving where you are right now, is the secret to speeding up your manifestations.+ How to practice surrender so you can trust the divin
