Today I’m joined by the wonderful Karen Shaw parenting coach, author of Parenting Magic, and founder of Energy Inspired Coaching.

Karen’s journey began through her own parenting experiences, which led her to explore communication, connection, and the powerful role our words play in shaping not only our children’s lives but our own.

In this conversation

1. We dive into NLP and what it really means, the energy behind the language we use every day, and how conscious communication can completely transform our relationships.
2. Karen shares why “try” doesn’t carry the same direction as “do,” how words can harm or heal, and why no one can “make” us feel anything even when it feels that way.
3. We talk about creating new patterns and beliefs, the importance of awareness, and those hard but powerful realisations that allow us to step out of victim mode and into empowerment.
4. Karen also shares how Parenting Magic became not just a book about raising children, but about relationship magic as a whole and how slowing down, knowing your truth, and focusing on what you do want can shift everything.

From parenting to menopause, from thoughts to vibration, this episode is a reminder that energy matters and so do the words we choose.

Today I’m joined by entrepreneur Harriet Taylor, who specialises in soul-led and neuro-manifestation, alignment, and creating spaces where women can be seen, heard, and truly understood.

In this episode, we talk about

self-discovery, grief, creativity,

what it means to keep moving forward after profound loss.

Harriet shares how losing a loved one to suicide shaped her path, her work, and the way she supports women through their own health and life transitions.

We explore manifestation beyond the surface level, using lived experience as fuel for meaningful change, and finding glimmers of hope even on the darkest days.

A solo episode with Podcasting Host Andrea L Evans. In this episode I talk about

1. Burnout, illness and low energy as signals calling for rest, a review and renewal, and honesty about what is no longer sustainable
2. Letting go of the should in favour of what feels true and aligned
3. Learning to observe where your energy is nourished and drained and how small conscious changes can radically improve wellbeing and direction
4. The emotional impact of being removed or silenced for holding thoughtful, researched viewpoints and why open dialogue matters more than agreement
5. The Connection Compass Framework as a foundation and not a product
6. Re-centring care, connection and humanity in a surface driven world

In today’s episode, I’m joined by May Cheung, founder and licensed holistic practitioner behind Calma Healing Space.

May is a licensed acupuncturist and fully insured member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, with over two decades of experience supporting women through some of the most powerful transitions of their lives, particularly fertility and menopause.

May’s work weaves together traditional East Asian medicine, modern scientific understanding, and a deeply intuitive, attuned presence. Her approach reminds us that healing isn’t something that happens in isolation or through one modality alone , it’s about understanding the body as a whole, honouring its natural rhythms, and creating space for stillness, listening, and wisdom to emerge.

In this conversation, we explore why massage can only take us so far, how the body is deeply interconnected, and why ancestral wisdom still has so much to teach us , especially when it comes to menopause. We talk about yin and yang energy, individual experiences of transition, blending science with deep intuition, and what it means when your training hasn’t just been something you studied, but something you’ve lived.

This is a rich, honest conversation about confidence in your work, trusting embodied knowledge, and remembering that wisdom doesn’t only come from certificates, it comes from experience, presence, and being truly attuned to life and those you serve.
