What if one of the most effective ways to improve your mental, emotional, and physical health was already right outside your door?

In this episode, Julie Beckwith explores the often-overlooked health benefits of outdoor living spaces and how they can play a powerful role in reducing chronic stress and supporting overall wellbeing. As modern life becomes increasingly indoor-focused, many people are unknowingly disconnecting from a natural source of regulation, calm, and healing.

Julie explains how chronic stress impacts the nervous system, mental clarity, emotional resilience, and physical health—and why spending time outdoors can help counteract these effects. Drawing on lived experience and practical insight, she breaks down the science-backed benefits of nature in a way that’s easy to understand and apply.

This conversation goes beyond aesthetics or expensive renovations. Julie shares simple, no-cost ways individuals and families can gain the benefits of outdoor living, regardless of space, budget, or lifestyle. From intentional pauses outside to creating small outdoor rituals, this episode offers realistic strategies that support wellbeing without adding pressure.

Listeners will walk away with a renewed understanding of how outdoor environments support emotional regulation, connection, and restoration—especially during periods of overwhelm or fatigue. Whether you have a backyard, balcony, or access to shared outdoor spaces, this episode invites you to rethink how you engage with the outdoors as part of everyday health.

This is a gentle yet empowering conversation about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and using what’s already available to support a calmer, healthier life.

What if the clutter in your home isn’t a personal failure — but a survival response?

For many women, especially survivors of family and domestic violence, clutter goes far deeper than “too much stuff.” It can be rooted in trauma, guilt, fear, and nervous system survival patterns that once helped them cope — but now keep them stuck.

In this deeply compassionate conversation, Rose is joined by decluttering mentor Dorota Kuldo to explore how decluttering can become a powerful tool for healing after trauma. Together, they unpack why traditional decluttering advice often feels overwhelming or unsafe for trauma survivors — and how a gentle, trauma-informed approach can restore a sense of control, agency, and calm.

Dorota explains how clutter is often linked to “good girl conditioning,” emotional attachment, and fear of scarcity, and why pushing through with harsh rules or perfectionism can retraumatise rather than heal. Instead, she shares brain-friendly, nervous-system-aware strategies that allow women to take small, compassionate steps — creating safety without overwhelm.

This episode reframes decluttering as an act of self-protection and self-trust, not discipline. It’s about creating a home that supports healing, freedom, and peace of mind — one gentle decision at a time.

If you’ve ever felt ashamed of your space, frozen by where to begin, or disconnected from your own home, this conversation offers a kinder, more empowering way forward.

What if the exhaustion, over-functioning, and constant pressure you live with isn’t your personality—but survival mode that never switched off?

In this deeply powerful episode, Rose sits down with Leticia Francis, trauma recovery mentor and author of Survival Mode Exit Plan, to explore what it truly means to exit survival mode after trauma.

Leticia shares her lived experience of teenage domestic violence and how that early trauma shaped decades of survival-based functioning—hyper-independence, emotional suppression, and identity built around coping rather than choice. Together, this conversation gently dismantles the belief that survival mode equals strength, revealing instead the hidden cost it places on the body, relationships, and sense of self.

This episode goes beyond awareness. Leticia breaks down:
• The residual impacts of unresolved trauma on the nervous system
• How survival identities form and why they’re so hard to release
• The three distinct phases of exiting survival mode, and what each requires

You’ll hear why healing isn’t about “fixing yourself,” why high-achieving women often stay stuck the longest, and how reclaiming truth, ease, and power begins with understanding your survival patterns—without shame.

This is an honest, grounded, trauma-informed conversation for anyone who has lived through adversity and wonders why life still feels heavy long after the danger has passed.
