E72: Reclaiming the Divine Feminine with Nathalie Cordell
Join Nic for an illuminating conversation with Psycho-Spiritual Coach and Author Nathalie Cordell, as Nathalie shares her journey of reclaiming her inner wisdom and reconnecting with the Divine Feminine.
Together, they explore midlife, and the experience of a midlife crisis, as a powerful and transformative opportunity to question what no longer holds meaning, reconnect with what truly matters and forge a new path from that deeper knowing.
Nathalie shares openly about her own journey of unravelling and reaching a point of such profound disconnection from herself that the pain was no longer something she could...
E71: Less is More
In this episode, Nic talks about the expanse of energy and potential available to us and the quickening of time - and why we need to draw our focus back and prioritise what matters.
She chats about being discerning and choosing what to focus on and what to pull back from - just because we can, it doesn't mean we should.
Nic talks about how allowing our focus to be singular rather than diluted through too many avenues, not only do we meet the goal but we also meet the opportunity of our highest energy...
E70: Life is the Curriculum
In this episode Nic shares a concept: Life is the Curriculum, Soul is the Compass and Embodiment is the Path and she chats about these three components.
She also talks about not taking life personally as life generally isn't, with so much of it outside of our control, and how that shift in perspective can support us to allow soul to be compass and also support embodiment as the foundation of our evolution forward.

E68: Expectation versus Experience
In expectation, are we missing the experience on offer? Nic chats about her experience of the recent solar eclipse and how, perhaps, expectations about what it should be left other people underwhelmed by it.
She shares about how having a specific expectation about how something should be might prevent us from actually experiencing something else in the moment, or seeing a different opportunity.
And she talks about how the fast-paced world we live in can have us looking for the next big thing rather than seeking the spaces in between moments as an act of...
E67: The Infinite Potential of Possibility with Joanna Naughton
Join Nic for this dynamic, energetic and activating conversation with the gorgeous Joanna Naughton, perfectly timed for eclipse season.
Joanna chats about the infinite potential available for us all, how the soul's frequency plus what the mind thinks and believes is creating the physical and why re-membering is so much more than a mental recognition.
We talk about the power of the word 'and', the importance of holding duality and why true soul embodiment is actually the descension of soul.
We discuss how attaching in to contraction is what creates our sense of...
E66: What Do You Do When You Don't Know What To Do?
No one makes the right decision, and takes the right path 100% of the time, so in this episode Nic questions what to do when you don't know what to do, and the answer is simpler than you might think.
Nic talks about conscious leadership and the power of conviction.
She discusses why there is perhaps no 'right' path but only the path you choose to walk and why energy right now is not about being guided but about enabling your own authority.

E65: What is Real?
In this episode, Nic asks what is actually real?
Is what we think is real, real? Is it just perception? It is real because we focus our energy on it and therefore create it?
And if that's the case, what else might we bring into reality through that process and that focus of energy? Nic also asks if, by considering what is real we are actually limiting our experience and possibility?
Are delusional goals just as real as the earth beneath our feet? Could they be?

E64: Showing Up is the Signal
In this episode, Nic discusses why showing up is the signal that the universe and life need.
She shares about how all the work and the energetics don't mean anything if we don't meet life in the midst, choose ourselves and show up and she talks about not allowing ourselves to stay in a healing bunker, retreating from life if we truly want to see the external shifts in life that we are feeling internally.
Holding the duality of everything, in our current times, demands that we choose ourselves and we choose to meet life...
E63: Transmuting Collective Energy
In this episode Nic talks about how so many of us are not just shifting through our own experience but are also transmuting collective energy, specifically also the energy of grief which is moving through collective consciousness right now.
She shares how shifting environment can bring clarity about what is ours and what is collective and she chats about the importance of energetically cleansing our space as well as maintaining our own energetic hygiene.

E62: The Tower and The Star
Join Nic as she talks about that sweet spot between the Tower and the Star, alluding to Tarot and the falling away to reveal the new.
She chats about allowing what is leaving to leave, not trying to hold on and the power of Surrender as allowing life, love and the divine to move through you.
And she shares about the Star always being there - always within - just waiting to be recognised, and allowed, as you allow the Tower to release what is no longer for you.

E61: Duality Directly Enables a Realisation of Oneness
In this episode, Nic shares an experience of holding duality and realising oneness, and also discusses choosing to hold and allow duality as a conscious choice; about how choosing to meet ourselves in the full energy of an experience of duality supports our awareness and understanding of ourselves as whole.
She talks about focusing in on one or the other as creating separation and how our capacity to hold all aspects of life and meet ourselves is far more than we might think.
Please note: Nic shares briefly about loss as she talks...
E60: Uncertainty is not a Sign to Pause
In this episode, Nic talks about uncertainty as an opportunity to be open to a different perspective and to flow, rather than as a sign to pause or procrastinate.
She talks about confidence being built in the process of action and how being so set on a definitive goal can sometimes blind us, if we're not present, on a different or more aligned potential opening up for us.
Uncertainty - and how we meet it - can also indicate our level of self trust.
How do you meet uncertainty? Does it stop you...
E59: Life is the Playground with Jo Robinson-Howarth
In this episode, Nic chats with the Happiness Club Founder, Jo Robinson-Howarth, about expansion as the purpose of life and how life is the playground we are here to experience.
Jo shares her journey through developing as a therapist and wanting to dispel the myths of therapy and personal development, to show people how beneficial it is to look after yourself every single day. She shares about the ownership we find in taking responsibility for ourselves and deeply appreciating who we are in the moment, as well as the power that comes from recognising, and employing, choice.<...
E58: Slow & Steady Wins The Race
Join Nic as she talks about the difference between the body and mind timelines currently and why it's important to recognise where you are aligned.
She shares about the speed of the mind not being the most stable or sustainable energy to be present with and how the body is recalibrating, like an orchestra being tuned.
She chats about why slow means precise right now and why you won't miss out on anything if you're choosing to pause and be very internally connected.

E57: When is Truth not the Truth?
Join Nic as she chats about truth and why challenging what we believe truth to be is so important.
In a world where we have so much access to so much information, how do we know we can stand fully in our truth, know that it is solid and sustainable unless we are willing to have it challenged and tested, so we can anchor into it and stand fully convicted within it.
Nic chats about why all truths ultimately lead to a dismantling of what is no longer true as we are all connected, all o...
E56: When You Are 'out' of Time
Join Nic as she chats about being 'out' of time - out of the time line, being in 'no' time where time itself is being rearranged around you, which is all about frequency.
Nic shares how this can feel like a sense of nothing coming together, a lack of momentum or flow, as well as a lack of direction or things that seemed right a few weeks ago, not feeling right now.
Nic talks about the importance of holding your frequency, and not giving into uncertainty or taking a step back. A lack of direction...
E55: The Dark Muse with Sophie Leone
Join Nic as she chats with Coach, Writer, Speaker & Author Sophie Leone about her journey from a career in the police to dismantling that identity and living with her full feminine grace.
Sophie talks about being guided by something within that she couldn't deny, which led her to shift from a linear path to a more cyclical, uncertain path where her sense of certainty could only be found in the deep wisdom rising within.
We chat about dismantling identities to uncover the core of who we are and Sophie shares how her softer, wiser voice...
E54: Expansion is Always a Leap
Join Nic as she talks about expansion being a big energy this year and one we are asked to meet in all sorts of ways.
Nic chats about the current expansion energy always being a leap rather than a steady movement forward - a leap into an expanded state or timeline and she shares why trust in self and trust in life is key.
Nic shares about expansion requiring us to meet the unfamiliar within ourselves and why whether we do, or not, soul learns what it needs to - it learns about how we...
E53: The Process is the Transformation
In this episode, Nic follows on from last week, adding in the importance of the process to your outcome because the process is where transformation happens.
The outcome can become purely a transactional thing unless you invest in the journey, in the process and allow yourself to explore who you are through it, how it changes you and what it teaches you about you.
The world is fast, everything wants everything now, and often we do too but that isn't where the gold truly lies. Transformation lies in what you give to the process, to...
E52: Conscious Leadership
In this episode, Nic chats about leadership and how we don't choose to lead but are chosen.
Through filling in an award nomination form and thinking about a question about being a leader, Nic chose to consider leadership from purely a 'self' perspective and she shares about conscious leadership differentiating from leadership itself.
She talks about alignment with values, integrity, ethics and choosing to always come back to truth, to lead from truth and not lose your way within leadership.

E51: The Theory Matters
In this episode Nic talks about why analysing your energetic experience supports it embedding through your energy, and why it also supports conviction and opens up the conversation to others who are not as aware.
Nic shares the importance of you, the human, being fully you and why that matters more to ground and anchor consciousness, than energy and conscious awareness alone.
And she shares why you should never be afraid to try and totally unpick your experience to help it 'make sense', and why that actually enables safety within expansion.

E50: A Small Powerful Word which Can Change Everything
In this episode, Nic shares how a small shift in wording can open possibility and opportunity.

E49: Why your Conscious Perspective Matters
In this episode Nic talks about why the lens you choose to focus your energy and intention through matters.
She shares about the importance of recognising that you are always at choice and how separation is something we have been conditioned to view life through, and yet which creates more separation within us.
Nic chats about why seeing yourself through the lens of wholeness creates opportunities and why that doesn't mean you ignore reality or spiritually bypass, but actually you more fully allow life and your own experiences to move through you and to move...
E47: How Do We Even Start Anchoring Consciousness?
Join Nic as she talks about how we actually start anchoring consciousness and how it comes back to, in essence and at a foundational level - our truth.
Understanding who we are, and living with authenticity as the individual we are, is the foundational pillar - anchoring our human field consciousness is the only thing that enables wider consciousness to be anchored through us.
Nic shares how we can start to look at alignment with our truth, why honesty with ourselves with who we are now is important and how we need to bring conscious...
E48: Anchoring Divine Consciousness
Join Nic as she talks about two keys aspects that are essential to us enabling an anchoring of our divine consciousness - the wider intelligence of which we are part.
Nothing happens within a conscious commitment to be, first of all, in partnership with that extended awareness. We can't anchor anything that we are not a conscious participant in.
And Nic shares why belief, even when logic dictates otherwise is essential. Without belief in that wider experience of who we truly are, we don't fully open, or allow, its experience as part of who we...
E46: Welcome Back - and An Intro to Anchoring Consciousness
Welcome Back! The podcast has had a break, and an upgrade so this is a welcome back to Being Soul Confident but from the deeper aspect of Anchoring Consciousness.
As we embrace the energetic times we are in, it has never been more important to actually anchor - who we are, everything we are and to actually live that fully anchored consciousness right here, right now.
In this episode, I am sharing my thoughts on anchoring consciousness, why it's important, why it matters in terms of contribution and why we can't live soul fully without...
E45: Where are you Surviving rather than Thriving?
Join me for this episode where I share a powerful realisation that was given to me a week or so ago about being in survival mode in some way, shape or form - either within myself or within my life up until this point.
When we are surviving we cannot thrive fully - so, is there an area of being or life where you are just surviving?
Spirit are always guiding us and when we pay attention the step we need appears - and I share a simple word they gave me during meditation which...
E44: Are you using Healing as an Excuse not to Change?
Welcome to E44 of the podcast and in this episode I talk about my belief of Soul as a collective, rather than personal energy and I share why it is important to move first when you are in a space of healing energetic links.
Whether it is past life, collective, ancestral, karmic, specific wounds - are you moving anyway, whilst you are healing those energetic resistances and limitations or are you holding still whilst you 'wait' for them to heal?
I talk about why meeting that energy and choosing to move forward anyway is so...
