43. The Freedom Formula Part 1: Why "Protecting Your Energy" could be keeping you stuck

Season 2, Ep. 43

After taking a year off from podcasting and really reflecting on how my clients transform, how I've evolved as an HSP, and how the world talks about sensitivity - I'm coming back with a completely different energy.


Because here's what I know now: your sensitivity isn't something to protect yourself FROM. It's something to step INTO.


Perfect for: Highly sensitive people (HSP), empaths, anyone tired of "survival mode" language, sensitive souls ready to thrive instead of just survive, people who want to stop feeling broken.


In this episode, you'll discover:


  • Why the common "empath survival" language is actually keeping you stuck
  • The problem with constantly "protecting your energy" (and what to focus on instead)
  • How the words we use about our sensitivity shape our nervous system response
  • The shift from surviving as a highly sensitive person to actually thriving
  • What's changed in my approach after years of working with sensitive souls
  • Why feeling like you need to "cage yourself from the world" means the language isn't serving you
  • A new framework for being a highly sensitive person that feels expansive, not defensive


FREE RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER



This is the beginning of a new series with a completely different energy. No more survival mode. Let's talk about what it actually means to thrive.


Coming Up: A fresh approach to being highly sensitive that doesn't make you feel like there's something wrong with you.

  • 42. 42. From Limbo to Living: Why I finally stopped waiting for life to happen

    16:17||Season 2, Ep. 42
    Hi, it's been a minute. Actually, it's been a whole year since I last recorded a podcast episode!!This episode is me coming back with a truly embodied understanding that healing isn't about feeling good all the time. It's about learning how to flow through life's curveballs. It's about holding yourself while you're crying on the floor. It's about being your own biggest supporter no matter what.In this raw, real episode, you'll hear about:Why I disappeared for a year - and why that was exactly what I neededThe shame of "not practicing what I preach" vs. the realisation that rest IS the practiceHow I spent time in limbo waiting for life to happen - and the moment I decided to stop putting my life on holdThe difference between self-development fantasy (everything will be easy once you heal!) vs. reality (life still throws curveballs)What it actually means to heal: not avoiding discomfort, but learning to flow through itMy massage clinic epiphany: when staying in your comfort zone crosses into fearWhy it's okay to be in different spaces at different times in your life (last episode: comfort zone is good, this episode: time to step out again)How being a highly sensitive person means your energy is your guiding light - and knowing when to honour thatHere's what I know: you can work on yourself as much as you want, you can love yourself deeply, but life will still throw shit at you. Healing isn't about making everything perfect. It's about backing yourself and keeping going anyway.Perfect for: Highly sensitive people (HSP), empaths, anyone struggling with showing up, people navigating hard seasons, sensitive souls learning to honour their energy, anyone who feels guilty for not being consistentFREE RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHERNot sure where to start?

  • 40. 40. Plot twist: why over-giving doesn’t have to be a problem you need to ‘fix’

    20:06||Season 1, Ep. 40
    In this paradigm-shifting episode, I challenge the conventional wisdom about empaths and over-giving. Rather than viewing your empathic nature as something to be corrected or restrained, I explore how over-giving doesn’t always have to be something you need to change.I chat about:- Why the natural tendency to give generously isn't a flaw that needs fixing- The power of matching your giving with equal measures of receiving- Practical ways to expand your capacity for receiving without diminishing your love of giving- The impact this balanced approach has on relationships and personal boundariesPerfect for empaths who've struggled with traditional advice about "giving less" or "protecting their energy," this episode is all about honouring your natural gifts while introducing a sustainable way to thrive.Whether you're an empath feeling drained from giving or someone who loves an empath, this conversation will reshape how you think about the giving-receiving dynamic in highly sensitive people.Mentioned in this episode: energetic check in reel pinned to my instagram profileFREE RESOURCES & WAYS TO WORK TOGETHERIf you'd like to work together, but you want to check if the vibe is right first, you can book a free 30 min chat here OR if you're keen to get started, book your personalised 1:1 session hereRestore inner balance and strengthen your ability to heal and grow in this FREE masterclassAwaken your inner healer in Know Yourself: an online course that teaches you how to listen to the language of your body, and how to connect directly with your subconscious to find out EXACTLY what you needConnected: 4 session tailored program to connect deeper with yourself1:1 mentorshipKeywords: empath, over-giving, receiving, emotional balance, boundaries, highly sensitive people, personal growth, energy management

    16:38||Season 1, Ep. 37
    In this episode, I’m sharing how my view on manifestation has evolved. For a long time, I believed that manifesting was about drawing external things into my life—whether it was success, relationships, or specific outcomes.
