Wilde About Woo

As we continue our tour de force through the classical elements, we’re diving (!) into the WATER element… I’m a water sign (Scorpio), so this one resonates a lot for me. I’ve been called all the type al ‘too water-y’ things…. “Too serious…” “Too deep…” “Too intimate…” “Too trusting…” “Too emotional…” Basically, all the “toos”!!! 🤣 I’m sure that resonates with you too! In today’s podcast episode, I’m sharing all the GOSS on how to rebalance your water side… How to...

One of the most destructive forces in the world is also one we cannot live without. The fire element represents passion, drive, and ambition. It's a symbol of life force, energy, power, and creativity. We depend on warmth, cooked food, light - all fire-based! BUT… At the same time, it’s destructive and can be deadly… It’s easy to only associate fire with its negative aspects. This is especially easy now that we (mostly) don’t see the flames that heat us, or cook our...

The air element is the most common of all natural elements. It surrounds us, we breathe it to survive. We use it to regulate temperature by either heating or cooling the air around us. Life giving and life preserving. It is omnipresent, and yet for a long time I didn’t realise how much Air infuses (pun intended 🤣) our deepest soul and inner knowing. Air is not just the life-giver, it is the SOUL-giver. Ancient wisdom tells us the Air is the element of TRANSFORMATION… And who...

In the western world, we live in a culture that is deeply rooted with our five natural elements. The earth element is one of these and it has been present for all of human history. We stand on the ground which provides us with stability and support. We create structures out of concrete, brick or wood to protect ourselves from the weather outside while also providing us shelter and comfort inside. In essence, this episode will explore how the earth element shows up in our lives, and ways...

Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The four elements have been a part of human understanding for centuries. And we use every single one of them every day of our lives. Just this morning, I’ve stood on earth, breathed in air, benefitted from the warmth of fire, and hydrated with water. The Ancient Greeks believed all things came from one of the four elements, and that they were eternal and unchanging. The Sumerians, the Maya, the Babylonians, and many other cultures and religions believed...

Spirituality is not religion. It's the practice of being in touch with oneself and finding a connection to one's soul, or self. When you are in tune with yourself, it can be easier to feel connected to those around you. With this podcast guide to spirituality, you'll find ways to explore what it means for you personally and learn how to integrate your spiritual needs into your everyday life. Your spiritual journey is an exploration into the deepest parts of your being. It's a journey that...

Wilde About Wellbeing is now Wilde About Woo! I'm excited to introduce you to my new name, and share with you the reasons I've made this change. In this podcast I cover: What woo-woo means, why it's important for me to make a name change, and what you can expect from me in the future. [Spoiler alert - Not much different!] In this episode, I'm also talking about animal Medicine, particularly spiders and hyenas! I focus on two animals in particular, the Spider and the Hyena. Spiders...

The first step to transformation is SELF AWARENESS… I was CONVINCED that I knew myself. I would’ve told you that I was 100% certain I was FULLY aware of every story I had. That was such RUBBISH. I had managed to deceive myself into believing I knew myself. It wasn’t until I developed my skills at self awareness that I was able to TRANSFORM. In this episode, I’m sharing the top FIVE things I did to begin my transformational process. They’re all easy things you can start to slip...

Would you like a MAGIC WAND? It’s called TRANSFORMATION… What if, just like a magic spell, you could cast dreams with your wand… And have them come true? What would be YOUR transformational spell? In today’s podcast, I’m talking about exactly what transformation is. I share with you how we get to the point where we NEED to transform our lives… And why transformation is more necessary than ever in our current world. Full disclosure… I DO dig into telling you about how I can...

Do you worry that being grateful for what you have NOW is complacency? I used to… I mean, it makes some logical sense, right? I say ‘thank you’ for, say, 1lb of weight release. My subconscious / the Universe thinks, “Oh right, you’re happy with a 1lb?” I never lose more than 1lb. But that’s simply NOT TRUE. My experience is more like this… “Wow, subconscious, universe, body, thank you for the 1lb of weight release. You RAAAAAWK!!” “Yay, so glad you’re pleased! Now we know how...

You’re wishing and hoping in the WRONG DIRECTION. “I hope I pass the exam!” “I wish I could visit Aruba!” “I hope I become a millionaire!” “I wish… I hope… I wish!” Hoping for something entails DOUBT. If I HOPE for a certain outcome, I’m acknowledging that an alternative is possible. “I hope I pass the exam” is NOT the same as “I will pass the exam!” The hoping implies there’s a possibility of not passing. The energy we put out when we hope for something is DOUBTFUL. You’re...

What are you putting off - and why? I HATED phone calls… I’m still not someone who is on the phone regularly. I would procrastinate about every call I had to make. Or I would delegate it to someone else. Having to handle accounting queries at work did MAKE me confront the fear of phones. I was being called multiple times a day. It was only by analysing the stories in my life that I saw where this fear of the phone came from. My dad was an incredibly hard working vet. In...

⁣My reptilian brain isn’t my best friend. It’s not yours either. Unless you’re being chased by a leopard, in which case it’s gonna save your life. The most primal part of the brain is designed for 4 vital functions… feeding, fleeing, fighting, and… reproduction! It has always been vital to our survival (it’s also fundamental for things like breathing and heart rate), BUT…⠀ ⠀ The reptilian brain is not as useful in everyday situations as it was thousands of years ago. ⠀ ⠀ Just imagine:...

ARE YOU MAKING YOUR JOURNEY CHOPPIER THAN IT NEEDS TO BE? I was ADDICTED to the struggle of swimming against my intuition. I lived on ‘shoulds’ - always based on what I believed that others wanted for/from me. Then I’d MOAN… “Oh, poor me, life is so HARD.” “Why do others have it easier than me?” “The world hates me.” Are any of those feelings familiar, love? They began to feel comfortable for me… They were what I used as an excuse to keep FIGHTING against listening to my INNER...

HOW IS YOUR FLOW? YOUR ALIGNMENT? And I’m not talking yoga here…. When I feel in flow, I am floating along the river of the universe, trusting I am where I am supposed to be. When I stray out of this alignment, I feel like I’m FIGHTING against everything. Life feels difficult. I know that when I am out of alignment, I’m letting my EGO row the boat… That’s ALWAYS a bad idea, since my ego wants to push against the tide. It looks at what OTHERS think is right for me… It holds me back...

Ayni, ubuntu and karma are not just about helping others - they’re about your SELF-LOVE too… Mind-blowing, right? Hear me out… When I go for a run, or a cycle, or do one of my MMA workouts, there are two words I use. “Thank you.” And I say them to my body… 🦶🏻 to the feet that carry my weight… 🍑 to the bum that hates a hard cycle seat, but bears it anyway… 👊🏻 to the hands that clench when I’m punching… And when I’m grateful for those body parts’ work, what happens? They...

Ayni… Ubuntu… Karma… They’re all more or less the same thing, with the same route: The Law of Reciprocity. Whatever joy / help / love I give to others, I will receive gifts that I need (not always what I WANT, ha!) in return. Everything is connected by ENERGY - I am connected to you, and we are all connected to the world’s community, the Earth herself, and all the dimensions beyond this one… It is a privilege that we get to support each other, and ourselves through the law of...

I KEPT MYSELF FEELING STUCK BY USING REALLLLLY UNHELPFUL LANGUAGE! I know we’ve all heard the stuff about ‘self talk’ - and, if you’re anything like me, love, you probably shrug your shoulders.. Like that could help you, right? Wrong. You see, I was always using language that kept me POWERLESS. “I don’t have enough [time / money / knowledge / strength / understanding / etc / etc / etc]” “I’m not the right person for this.” “I’ll never succeed at reaching my [goal weight / ideal...

YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN STUCK. We’ve all said it, right, love? “I’m STUCK!” “I can’t do ANYTHING about XYZ!” “It’s so unfair!” That used to be me ALL. THE. TIME. The reason you FEEL stuck is simple: it’s down to your PERSPECTIVE. You get to CHOOSE how to approach any situation. You get to CHOOSE whether to see yourself as INCAPABLE. You get to CHOOSE the steps to take to MOVE away from your current situation. You are IN CONTROL. In today’s podcast, I share my thoughts on...

DID YOU KNOW THAT WATER DOES MORE THAN HYDRATE YOUR CELLS? In today’s podcast, I’m sharing five ways that water can increase your power and abundance in the world. For example, did you know closing your loo seat can help maintain the flow of positive energy AND prevent abundance being, quite literally, flushed away?! 🚽 There’s way more to water-driven feng shui (one of my five tips) than just shutting the toilet lid, and I dive in (ha!) on this podcast…. I also talk about baths...
