Have you ever hit rock bottom and realised that you couldn’t keep living the same way? That something deep inside you was crying out for a new way of being?

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Catherine Storing - somatic facilitator, trauma-informed coach, and deep-healing guide - to explore what it really means to heal from the inside out. Catherine shares how her journey through burnout, business trauma, and emotional exhaustion led her to somatic work and inner child healing - and how these tools helped her reclaim her self-worth, voice, and joy.

We talk about the transformational power of reconnecting with your inner child, healing old stories that keep you small, and learning to trust your truth enough to say “no” when it matters and “yes” to what truly lights you up. If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, playing small, or waiting for permission to prioritise yourself, this conversation will feel like a warm, powerful permission slip.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own healing journey, navigating emotional burnout, or ready to stop dimming your light, Catherine’s wisdom and vulnerability will help you see that it’s never too late to return home to yourself.

✔ Healing happens when you stop pushing and start listening to your body.

✔ Self-worth begins with honouring your inner child’s needs and desires.

✔ You don’t need to hit rock bottom to start your healing - but if you do, it can be the perfect place to begin again.

✔ Boundaries aren’t about controlling others - they’re about staying true to yourself.

✔ Joy lives in saying yes to what feels aligned and no without guilt.

Have you ever felt like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough? Maybe you’ve been pushing yourself to achieve more, prove yourself, and meet everyone’s expectations - only to end up feeling burnt out, disconnected, and unsure of what you truly want.

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Anderson, aka The Biz Witch, to explore why we struggle to slow down, why we feel guilty for resting, and how we can start trusting ourselves again. Emma shares her journey of moving from self-doubt and overworking to alignment and confidence by reconnecting with her intuition and natural energy cycles.

We dive deep into:

✔ Why hustle culture keeps us stuck in self-doubt

✔ How tuning into your body’s natural rhythms can bring clarity and confidence

✔ The power of releasing guilt and finally embracing rest without feeling lazy

If you’ve ever felt like you need to “earn” your worth or prove your value through constant doing, this episode is for you!

✔ Your worth isn’t something you earn - it’s something you remember and reclaim.

✔ Resting doesn’t make you lazy - it makes you aligned and more powerful.

✔ Self-doubt fades when you stop looking outside for answers and start tuning into yourself.

✔ Overworking and people-pleasing are often signs of deeper fears and conditioning.

✔ You don’t have to push to create success - flow and intuition are just as powerful.
