In this end of season one episode, I explore an excerpt from Journey of the Soul by Dr. Brenda Davis, a profound book that reminds us that our lives are not random, they are divinely orchestrated.

Together, we’ll reflect on the idea that before we incarnate, our souls make intentional choices — the families we are born into, the challenges we face, and even the people we meet along the way. Every experience, joyful or painful, is part of a greater curriculum for our soul’s evolution.

We come to Earth to experience, to learn lessons, to resolve karma, and to help raise the vibration of global consciousness. Through each incarnation, our souls expand in compassion, understanding, and unity, remembering, little by little, who we truly are: infinite beings of light having a temporary human experience.

This episode invites you to look at your own life through the lens of divine design, to see meaning in your struggles, purpose in your relationships, and beauty in your becoming.

In this episode, I explore the hidden power of limiting beliefs—where they come from and how they quietly show up in our everyday lives. I open up about my journey with the Akashic Records, including a glimpse into one of my past lives spent living simply in the woods, and how I’m learning to carry that grounded, gentle energy into the present.

We also dive into the mindset of “busyness”—why always being busy is often a belief rather than a reality, and how we can begin leaning into more space, ease, and flow in our days. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within.

Episode Summary: Mirrors & Shadows – Why We Get Triggered by Others

In this episode, we explore how the people who irritate or trigger us often act as mirrors, reflecting back the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, rejected, or left unhealed. Drawing on Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow, we unpack why triggers show up, what they reveal about our inner world, and how to work with them as opportunities for growth instead of sources of conflict.

You’ll hear everyday examples of shadow projections — like judging someone’s confidence, laziness, or emotional expression — and discover how these reactions can point to qualities we’ve suppressed in ourselves. We’ll also share practical steps for working with triggers, from pausing before reacting to journaling and practising compassion.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see that triggers aren’t flaws to avoid but powerful invitations to heal, reclaim lost parts of yourself, and build deeper compassion for others.

🌟 The Inside Light Podcast – Episode: Trusting Your Intuition 🌟

In this empowering episode, we dive deep into the quiet but powerful voice within: your intuition. So many of us feel disconnected from it, shaped by early conditioning to listen to others rather than ourselves. But your intuition is always there; your powerful inside light, waiting to support and guide you.

We’ll explore:

✨ Why your intuition might not feel very loud

✨ How to recognise the subtle ways intuition speaks to you

✨ Simple practices to strengthen and trust your inner knowing

✨ The transformation that happens when you start honouring your intuition

Along the way, I share reflective journal prompts to help you tune back in to your inner compass. By the end, you’ll hopefully feel inspired and ready to start listening more closely to the wisdom that’s been inside you all along.

In this episode of The Inside Light Podcast, I dive into the timeless wisdom of Dr. Wayne Dyer on how to manage your thoughts and align with your higher self. Inspired by his teachings, I explore four key principles for mastering the mind:

✨ Banish the doubt – shift from self-criticism to self-approval.

✨ Cultivate the witness – observe your thoughts rather than being controlled by them.

✨ Tame the ego – soften judgment and comparison by choosing kindness and service.

✨ Shut down the inner dialogue – quiet the mental chatter and reconnect with silence, where wisdom lives.

Alongside Dyer’s insights, I weave in reflections from spiritual teachers like Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, Michael Singer, Byron Katie, and Rumi. This episode is a practical guide to quieting the mind, deepening your self-trust, and living from the peace of your higher self.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of being late-diagnosed with AUDHD (Autism + ADHD) and how it has reshaped the way I see myself and my life. I talk openly about the relief, grief, and empowerment that comes with finally having language for an experience I’ve lived all along.

I also reflect on parenting my three children, all of whom are AUDHD and have PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profiles. From the daily challenges to the moments of deep connection, I explore what it means to parent neurodivergent children while also unmasking and learning about my own neurodivergence.

This conversation is about understanding, compassion, and real-life experience — the messy and beautiful reality of living and parenting in a neurodivergent family. My hope is that by sharing my story, other late-diagnosed women and parents walking a similar path will feel seen, validated, and less alone.

In this episode, I open up about my own journey with alcohol—starting at just 14 years old. I share the highs, the lows, and the painful reality of not being able to moderate, alongside the turning point that led me to finally stop.

Sobriety has given me more than I ever imagined—hope, freedom, and a life I wouldn’t trade for anything. This is a story of struggle, surrender, and the incredible gift that comes with choosing a different path.

If you’ve ever questioned your relationship with alcohol, or wondered what might be waiting for you on the other side, this episode is for you.
