I Feel For You

In today’s episode, Ketil and i are sitting down to chew the cud, talking about our most recent project collaboration, HAUGTUSSA: Eit skogsbad, an art installation we made in Bryne, Norway.

2019. We made it! ✨ First just a note to say thank you for all your support. To each and every one who listens to this podcasts, sends me messages, leaves reviews and so on to support this labour of love which i create with love and send to you to hopefully offer you some space and freedom on this wild rollercoaster we call life! Whether or not you celebrate new year now, just wanted to share a reminder that every day every moment in the day offers us the opportunity to start again, to begin again. This episode is very much about new year and how we can take the pressure off of ourselves and recognise that we get to choose. We get to choose how we show up, and how we step into this newness with intention and realness in ways that feel GOOD, as opposed to making ourselves feel a bit crap for not keeping up, or not doing the things that we wanted to do, whatever it is. Instead we get to reframe, and connect in more meaningful and feel-good ways. This is a rebroadcast of episode 4 with a new intro i record

This episode is for those of you struggling with the darkness of the winter months, who might be low on energy, motivation, struggling to keep up, or just generally have a case of the winter blues. - For those of you who suspect its something more that the winter blues, I recommend you reach out for help to feel better. Head to your doctor, speak to a therapist. Reach out for help. I’m not a therapist and this podcast isn’t a substitute for therapy. In this episode I’m offering some tools and inspiration + practical ideas that are hopefully helpful in shifting your state. This is a rebroadcast of episode 24 that I made last winter, when I certainly needed to pep talk myself during the cold dark days. I hope it serves you to lift your spirits and to remind yourself of who that hell you are. Find all links and resources mentioned in the shownotes or head to the show transcript on my blog for more! Thank you for listening! Love, Dionne xxx *********** I love to hear from you, requests for show topic

The programme is running over the next couple of months, and features: * Exclusive yoga, movement and meditation videos. * Downloadable/streamable meditations. * Creative prompts and activities. * Heaps of resources, tips and information from my studies and practices over the last 20 years.

Are you ready to be inspired by someone great? Someone who is out here on these streets living their life, being free by being completely and utterly themselves? Well, you are in the right place my darlings! And it’s one from the road, literally! I was lucky enough to catch the frank bowling exhibition at the tate britain last week, in its last days. Frank is an artist, and a caribbean king, born in guyana, in 1934 - and fyi he’s a pisces, to paint a picture, a february one um, yes! When he was really young, He moved with his family to new york, then new amsterdam - shoutout to colonialism, not, Then to the uk, again, colonialism and it’s hunger for coin eh? And whilst in the royal air force in 1953 he happened upon the national gallery with a mate who was also into art. And he had a moment. He was in his feelings as he soaked up artists like gainsborough, constable and turner. And it inspired him to study art - in a few places like Chelsea School of Art and the City and Guilds of London Art School, be

Today's episode is a short, but hopefully effective one, and is for those of you who know what it is to occupy this weird space between holding grief and seeking joy. It’s in reference to recent news events but also addressing the times we live in, when news, newsfeeds and difficult stuff can feel so overwhelming that it can be hard to know what to do and how to get back to yourself so you can be most useful. I don’t know about you but when i hear about something horrific or witness terrible things in the news, it puts me in this weird state of hyper anxiety and numbness. It's hard to do anything at all. So i’m sharing 5 things that help me come back to my centre when occupying so many spaces and carrying so many feelings simultaneously. I also invite you to add your own so we can provide inspiration for others out there who are having a difficult time. Really hope this is useful. Let’s get into it. *********** I love to hear from you, requests for show topics, thoughts, etc, so please reach out to me.

Cause it has a lot to say! I’ll also be sharing how i’ve been doing that, and how you might explore that in ways that work for you.

Today, a micro coaching episode! “Hi Dionne, here’s a question for you! I have these dreams and goals that excite me, but i often find i get stuck and scared. how can i move forward and stop feeling like i’m held hostage by my fear? i want to get things done and do the things i want to do but i just feel like i’m stalling……… Yours, Tears for Fears” In today’s episode, i’m talking about the energy of fear vs action, what gets in the way and holds us back, and how we can use this energy of fear as a catalyst for helpful action rather than bring at the mercy of it. I’m sharing some examples from my own life, living with anxiety the last 20 years and some tools i use that you can apply to your own journey to help you reframe energy of fear and doubt. Friends! We are going in! *********** I love to hear from you, requests for show topics, thoughts, etc, so please reach out to me.

“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style” - Maya Angelou Friends! I have a question for you! What do you want? So some of you know i’ve been on a bit of a quest this year, this lifetime, to be more me, to allow Ethel, my alter ego some slack and embrace expression, shamelessness and learning how to be. Sure, this is a life’s quest, but as this is episode 40 - 40?!? I thought it might be nice to pay tribute to this magic number, which feels especially magic for me this year, because in february, i turn 40! Yes! I know! Cue Jadakiss we gon make it darling, cause it’s real! I’m bopping like it’s 1997... I’m so excited about it to be honest, i mean, the older i get, the more me i feel. I mean, i have always been me, but i am truly feeling a difference as i begin to leave my 30s behind, and embrace a new era. Sure it’s just a number, imaginary, right? birthdays are simply anniversaries of a moment, right? and every

When i was 16, i lost my best friend, Melissa. And 23 years on, i’m reflecting on the non-linear process that is grief, healing and life. I hope this helps someone feel more free. More hope. And if you’re navigating the grief journey, i pulled together some resources i made that might have some tools to help you in your process. Check my show notes for more. Most of all, i hope you feel held and reminded, whatever stage you’re at, you’re not alone. there is help and support out there for you, so please reach out, you are deserving of care, love and support. Do feel welcome to share your stories if it helps you and feels safe. You can leave me a comment, or a voicemail or contact me - links to all of those things will be in the show notes. I’d love to hear what has helped you on your journey, and also any tips and ideas you have on the topic i might share so others who need it can also access them. And thank you for listening. I appreciate your attention so much. And if this episode has helped or inspir

Darlings, in challenging times, it's so vital that we show up for ourselves so we can meet the world from as grounded a place as possible, and be most useful to our communities.If you are experiencing sadness or any related feel, i hope you can be reminded that although the feeling is most certainly real, it doesn't define us, nor is it a static thing. Hence why people tend to deal with grief in different ways.It´s ok to step back. To be more tender. To not get it all done. To do what you need to do to feel better.One thing i would add though, is that if you feel ready, try to find a way to move - it might be a physical movement, or offering yourself space to welcome in a new energy. It doesn't mean you're not still grieving or sad, or rejecting one feeling for another. It means you're opening up and being receptive to new ones. Shifting your state to something that's hopefully more helpful. I hope that you are able to navigate things in ways that you feel supported. For me, upping my practice of self care i
