What happens when we stop overriding ourselves — and start listening inward?

In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, I’m joined by Crystal, crystal healer and intuitive guide, to explore intuition, nervous system safety, and reconnecting with body wisdom — especially during midlife and periods of transition.

After beginning her career in nursing, Crystal experienced her own profound inner awakening that led her onto a more soul-led healing path. Today, she supports women who feel overwhelmed, burnt out or disconnected from themselves to slow down, feel safer in their bodies, and trust their inner guidance again.

Together, we explore:

• How intuition and body wisdom guide healing and decision-making
• The link between nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing and energy
• Why midlife can become a powerful invitation to reconnect with inner knowing
• How crystal healing can support grounding, safety and self-trust
• Letting go of self-doubt and learning to listen inward again

Crystal also shares her role as a practitioner at the Self-Love Retreat on Sunday 15th February, where she’ll be offering intuitive and crystal-based support within a collective healing space.

This episode is a gentle invitation to come back to yourself — to soften, listen, and remember that the answers you’re seeking already live within you.

✨ If you’re navigating midlife, burnout, emotional sensitivity, or a sense of disconnection, this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, I'm joined by Oxana, holistic practitioner and founder of Avidia, for a deeply grounding conversation about healing beyond the mind.

Together, they explore how nervous system regulation, subconscious patterns, and family systems shape our emotional wellbeing, relationships, and sense of purpose — especially during midlife transitions.

Oxana shares her personal journey into holistic healing, her work with cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and family systemic constellations, and why many symptoms can’t be resolved through talk therapy alone. This conversation sheds light on inherited family patterns, stored emotions in the body, and how listening inward can create profound shifts in how we live and relate.

This episode is especially for women navigating midlife, identity changes, anxiety, fatigue, burnout, or a sense that something deeper is asking to be acknowledged.

In this episode, we explore:

• Nervous system regulation and why safety is essential for healing
• How family systems and intergenerational patterns influence our lives
• Why midlife can be an initiation rather than a crisis
• The connection between emotions, the body, and physical symptoms
• Meditation and somatic practices to reconnect with inner wisdom
• Why choosing yourself is not selfish — but necessary

🎧 Listen now and allow this conversation to meet you exactly where you are.

✨ Oxana will also be joining the Self Love Retreat on the 15th February, where she’ll be bringing her systemic and integrative approach into a shared healing space.

In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, I’m joined by the deeply intuitive and grounding healer Katy Sophia — meditation guide, energy worker and transformational facilitator.

Together, we explore what it really means to come back home to yourself during seasons of overwhelm, transition and emotional intensity. Katy shares her approach to grounding meditation, nervous system regulation, and how women can soften their energy when life feels heavy or chaotic.

This conversation is a gentle and powerful reminder that healing often begins with slowing down, reconnecting to the body, and creating space for your inner wisdom to rise.

✨ The importance of sacred space — why creating intentional moments for rest and reflection is essential for women today.
✨ Returning to your centre — Katy’s practical steps to reconnect to your inner voice when you’ve been running on empty.

Katy offers a warm, grounded presence and brings deep insight into how women can regulate their nervous systems, clear energetic blocks and reconnect with their natural inner steadiness.

In this heartfelt and enlightening episode, Soraya is joined by Jacky Parker, founder of Body Wisdom Kinesiology, to explore how the body stores emotional memory and how unprocessed feelings can impact our physical and mental health.

Together they dive into the connection between repressed emotions, hormonal balance, and midlife transitions, and discuss how modalities like kinesiology can help women understand what their bodies are really trying to communicate.

Jacky shares her wisdom on working with the body’s innate intelligence, the emotional impact of HRT, and the power of releasing what’s been held inside — creating space for healing, clarity, and reconnection.

The books that Jacky and I discussed in this episode can be found below. Very powerful reads as they show how much repressed emotions can manifest in physical dis-ease:

Also- the guest on the Diary of the CEO with Steven Bartlett, that I couldn't quite remember (thank you brain fog!) is eminent Psychologist and Scientist Donald Hoffman. It's a fascinating interview whetre he reveals the mathematical proof we’re living in a virtual illusion, how space-time is just a headset, and why consciousness is the real code. Al lthe more reason to really embrace our midlife and lead life on our terms :)

💫 Jacky will also be joining the Renew & Rise Women’s Retreat on 29th November in London where she’ll hold space for women to reconnect, release, and realign.

🎧 Tune in for a nourishing conversation about listening inward, honouring your body’s wisdom, and embracing the journey of healing and transformation.
