Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast, I explore what real transformation looks like when it is actually lived, not just understood in your head.

I share some of my own story, including how my life has shifted into a more nomadic way of living, and how those external changes are really just a reflection of a much deeper inner journey. I talk about how true change rarely arrives as one dramatic breakthrough. Instead, it shows up in the tiny details of your day, the way you breathe, the way you respond to discomfort, the way you speak to yourself and to other people.

We dive into the idea of embodiment, the practice of living your insights rather than just thinking about them. I explore why the subconscious mind does not change because you have a single powerful realisation, but because you keep showing up in new ways, again and again, even when it feels messy or uncertain.

I also share how you do not have to wait until you feel completely healed or confident before you begin to embody who you want to become. Transformation often starts from a place of curiosity, small experiments and gentle bravery. As you move through life in a slightly different way, your subconscious starts to learn from your lived experience and begins to rewrite the old stories it has been holding on to.

Towards the end of the episode, I guide you through a meditative practice to help you meet the version of yourself that is emerging, the part of you that is more present, more honest and more connected to how you really feel. The focus is on gentle persistence, on remembering that every time you return to your intention, even after slipping back into old patterns, you are embodying your growth.

My intention is that you finish this episode with a clearer sense of what embodiment looks like in your own life, and a kinder, more compassionate approach to the ongoing work of becoming who you really are.

Key takeaways

1. Transformation is not usually about one grand moment; it lives in the subtle experiences and small shifts of everyday life.
2. Real change shows up in how you respond to discomfort, how you breathe, how you speak to yourself and how you move through your day.
3. The subconscious mind learns through repeated, embodied actions, not through intellectual understanding alone.
4. Embodiment is about gently living your beliefs and values, rather than waiting until you feel perfectly confident or fully healed.
5. Simple adjustments in your breathing, posture and presence can have a powerful impact on how your subconscious learns and adapts.
6. Noticing when you slip back into old patterns and choosing to return to your intention are important and natural parts of the journey towards deeper self-awareness.

Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast I explore what it really takes to create lasting change in the subconscious mind, and why willpower on its own is never enough.

I begin by looking at why surface level tools, like repeating affirmations, often do not work the way we hope. On the conscious level they can sound positive, but if your subconscious does not feel safe, or does not believe what you are saying, it will quietly hold on to the old pattern. I explain why real transformation has to reach the part of you where your beliefs and habits are actually stored.

From there, I introduce three core ingredients that the subconscious needs in order to change, safety, emotion and repetition. I talk about how safety opens the door to change, because your system will not let go of familiar patterns if it feels threatened. I then explore the role of emotion, how genuine emotional engagement gives new beliefs and experiences enough charge to register deep within you.

We also look at repetition, and why one powerful moment is rarely enough on its own. Your subconscious learns through what you come back to again and again, so we explore how consistent practice, over time, turns new ways of thinking and feeling into your new normal.

Throughout the episode, I connect this back to our earlier explorations of the conscious and subconscious mind, and the nervous system. You will see how safety in the body, emotional truth in the heart, and repeated practice in your daily life all work together to rewire your inner world.

By the end of this conversation, my intention is that you understand not just what needs to change, but how to work with your subconscious in a way that is kinder, deeper and much more effective.

Key takeaways

1. We have explored the difference between the conscious mind that thinks it is in charge and the subconscious mind where your patterns actually live.
2. Understanding the nervous system, especially the roles of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, is essential for creating the safety needed for change.
3. Rewiring beliefs in the subconscious requires three things, a sense of safety, emotional engagement and consistent repetition.
4. Change is far more effective when your thoughts, emotions and physiology are aligned, rather than relying on mindset alone.
5. Practices that create safety in the body and genuine emotional resonance give new beliefs a chance to take root.
6. The journey of transformation rests on the three pillars of safety, emotion and repetition, which together support lasting subconscious change.

Hello Wild Soul, in this episode of the Wild Soul Grove Podcast, I explore the powerful link between your nervous system and your subconscious, and why that connection is often the reason change feels so hard.

I begin by breaking down the autonomic nervous system in simple terms, focusing on the two main branches that constantly shape how you experience the world. The sympathetic nervous system is your fight or flight response, the part that switches on when you feel under threat. When this is running the show, you are more likely to feel anxious, reactive and stuck in survival mode.

In contrast, the parasympathetic nervous system is the part of you that supports rest, digestion and healing. It is the state in which your body feels safe, your mind opens, and you can access more creativity and clarity. I talk about how an overactive sympathetic system can make it almost impossible to think clearly, make grounded decisions or connect with your deeper inner wisdom.

From there, I share how your nervous system acts as a bridge between your mind, your body and your subconscious. When your body does not feel safe, your subconscious will do everything it can to keep you in familiar patterns, even if those patterns are painful. When you learn to bring your system back into states of safety, you create the conditions for real change.

I then guide you through practical tools, including resistance breathing, to help you shift out of stress and back into a more parasympathetic state. These practices are simple but powerful ways to calm your system, reconnect with yourself, and become more available to the deeper work of transformation.

Key takeaways

• Your nervous system is a living bridge between your mind, your body and your subconscious, and it quietly shapes how you experience each day.
• The sympathetic nervous system is responsible for fight or flight responses, and when it is overactive, it can fuel anxiety, reactivity and patterns of self-sabotage.
• The parasympathetic nervous system supports rest, safety, and recovery, which are essential for healing, digesting life, and accessing deeper insight.
• Real change becomes possible when you can move out of constant survival mode and into a calmer, more creative state.
• Resistance breathing is a powerful way to support the parasympathetic system, helping your body feel safe enough to relax and open.
• By recognising and regulating your physiological responses to stress, you create the inner conditions to work with your subconscious and invite meaningful change into your life.
