Re-discover your intuition and learn how to apply it in your life so that you can regain the trust in yourself, your direction and your life. Our intuition is the guiding light that so many of us are searching for and it's right there within us. We've simply not been taught how to hear, listen, trust or follow it. Through a variety of conversations, reflections and learnings, I'll show you that there is a way to reconnect with it and how it can unlock your most full and rich life.

I wish you all a magical, exciting and fun 2025! 💕💫

14 - How To Do A Digital Energy Cleanse To Start Listening To Your Intuition
10/21/2023

Tips on how to clear and empty your digital space so that more aligned things to come into your life.

I also share why I came off Instagram and how consuming so much information can remove and distract you from your own intuition, thoughts and beliefs.

✨ The more we look externally for answers, the less we tune in internally.

Let's start thinking for ourselves and tuning in to what WE want, not what we've been told is "right" for us.

13 - Are You Censoring Your Voice?
10/11/2023

In this episode, I dive into when we should be thinking before we speak and when to allow ourselves to speak freely. Because to truly honour our intuition, we also need to honour our voices.

How often do we silence our true desires and needs because we're afraid of what others might think or say?

How much do we censor ourselves for fear of judgement?

12 - Where The F*** Is The Balance Between The Masculine & Feminine?!
09/29/2023

⚖️ Join me on this week's episode as I discuss my own interesting relationship with the masculine and feminine energy within me. From overdoing it and burning out, to doing nothing at all because "it doesn't feel right". I believe that it's a constantly adjusting balancing act with different seasons and times of our lives.

I also share how I've come to figure out whether it's my intuition saying no (tuning into my feminine energy) or resistance and fear stopping me (my mind).

In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming my first guest onto my show: my own Mama - Katarzyna Rutkowska-Parkes, a healer and therapist.

03 - Periods, Shame & The Pressure To Be "Authentic"
06/15/2023

🩸 In this episode, I discuss the shame I've personally experienced surrounding my menstrual cycle, using my menstrual blood as a face mask and even using the words womb and yoni. I delve into the societal pressures that make us as women hesitant to freely share and express these aspects of their lives, which are, fundamentally, simply a part of our existence being a woman, for fear of being shamed, isolated or rejected. I've had enough and I'm doing my best to no longer subscribe to that fear.

Additionally, I explore the concept of authenticity and how we can...

02 - Why Healing Isn't A Reason To Stop & Imposter Syndrome Around Being An Intuitive Healer
06/08/2023

Join me as I discuss how we can use healing as a barrier to taking the steps forward. That there is no end goal with healing and we may as well get going and do the things we want to rather than waiting for the moment we feel "perfect".

I talk about my journey to intuitive healing and how I've had to work on my confidence and work through my imposter syndrome with simply "knowing things".
