Inspire and Connect; In Two Minds is a space for raw, real conversations about life, death and everything that shapes us in between.


We explore the emotions we often silence- grief, love, joy, fear- and create space for heart-led healing and honest wellbeing.


From grief to giggles, every part of you belongs here. Because healing happens when we speak our truth and connections begin when we are brave enough to share it.

  • S3 E1: We're Back! Puppies, Purpose, and Being Intentional

    S3 E1: We're Back! Puppies, Purpose, and Being Intentional
    Oct 16 2026

    Ali and Laura return for Season 3 of In Two Minds. They catch up on life, Laura going into her business full-time, the chaos of a new puppy with a toddler, and the reality of losing confidence over the summer. Ali shares her journey back into her coaching community after stepping away, and they discuss the power of being intentional with your time rather than just falling into routines.

    Key Takeaways:

    • It's okay to step away and go quiet for a while, just be intentional about it
    • Being intentional with your time means planning ahead, even during busy seasons like summer holidays
    • Stepping back from your business doesn't make you a failure, it's an act of strength
    • People will judge when you go quiet, but staying true to yourself matters more
    • Your worth isn't tied to your business or your output

    Tools & Recommendations:

    • Laura's sound baths and Reiki practice
    • Ali's coaching community "Your Swift Healing"
    • Inspire and Connect (Ali and Laura's previous business venture)
    • Kerry Boland — mentioned for the quote "You're not your business"

  • S2 E9 Letters to heaven; grief, healing and laughter

    S2 E9 Letters to heaven; grief, healing and laughter
    Jul 10 2026
    S2 E9- Letters to HeavenIn this heartfelt season finale, Ali and Laura pull oracle cards to guide their conversation, and without a planned topic, the healing light leads them somewhere deeply personal. They open up about grief, loss, healing tools, and the messy, non-linear journey of processing pain. From losing parents to pets, from estrangement to death, this episode is an honest and at times laugh-out-loud conversation about finding your way back to yourself.Key Takeaways1. Your healing tools don't always work in the thick of itWhen trauma hits, it's completely normal for all your tools to go out the window. Don't judge yourself for not meditating or journaling — surviving the acute phase is the work.2. Grief compoundsMultiple losses stack on top of one another. Laura experienced the loss of her dad, her cat, her nan, and several others all within 2024, each new grief can reactivate previous ones.3. The difference between coping and healingAli makes a powerful distinction: distraction helps you cope, but true healing tools help you do the work. Know the difference.4. You can heal a relationship without the other personTherapy and inner work can bring you to peace with someone, a parent, an ex, an estranged family member, without ever needing to have "the conversation." Your peace doesn't depend on theirs.5. Writing letters is a powerful processing toolWhether to someone who has passed, someone you're estranged from, or a relationship that's changed, writing (and burning, ripping, or keeping) letters allows you to say what needs to be said at a soul level.6. Grief for the living is still griefLosing a parent to distance, addiction, or estrangement is a real and valid loss. You don't have to wait for death to grieve a relationship.7. The double whammy of losing someone twiceLaura shares the unique pain of reconnecting with her dad after years apart, only to lose him again permanently. Getting him back made the loss deeper, but she wouldn't trade those three years.8. Focus on yourself; that's the season's messageThe closing Moonology card: Focus. When you turn your attention inward and do your own healing, everything else begins to shift.Laura's Top 3 Healing ToolsGrief counselling — Having someone outside your circumstances to talk to and learn from. Laura worked with Dipti, a grief counsellor recommended to her.Meditation & journaling — Not as a rigid daily practice, but as something to return to when you need to reconnect with yourself and something higher.Retreat / community — Taking yourself out of your everyday life, even for a few days, to find perspective. The sound healing course Laura attended six weeks after her dad passed was a turning point.People & Recommendations MentionedDipti SolankiGrief counsellor — highly recommended by Laura for processing grief and loss.Angela (The Ice Warrior)Breathwork practitioner — helped Laura with nervous system recovery techniques.Naomi & MartinRelationship coaches through the Modivorce programme.

  • S2 E8 Valued by a pound sign; the imbalance in a woman's role

    S2 E8 Valued by a pound sign; the imbalance in a woman's role
    Jun 19 2026

    In this honest and wide-ranging episode, Ali and Laura reflect on chaotic weeks, the mental load of modern motherhood, and the invisible labour that still falls disproportionately on women, whether they're single, married, working, or at home.

    ⚠️ A note from Ali & Laura: This episode reflects our own personal experiences and opinions only. We know this doesn't apply to every household, there are so many different family dynamics and circumstances. The conversation is intended to shine a light on the high expectations placed on women and the impact that has on mental wellbeing. Not a generalisation, just an honest chat.

    Key Takeaways

    1. Recovery matters more than perfection in the moment. When chaos hits, it's okay if you couldn't use your tools or cope "correctly." What matters is finding recovery afterwards, a walk, a book, sitting in the sun.
    2. Sitting still is not laziness. Sometimes doing nothing is exactly what your nervous system needs. Recognising the difference between genuine rest and avoidance is a skill worth developing.
    3. The mental load is real, and it's still mostly on women. From school emails to bike ability letters to apps for attendance, behaviour, and grades, the admin of parenting lands disproportionately on mums, even in two-parent households.
    4. "I'm married and I feel like a single mom" is more common than anyone talks about. The breadwinner assumption, that the higher earner's time is worth more, quietly sacrifices the other partner's career and mental health.
    5. Approx 15% of teenagers live with a single mum doing it all alone. FACT CHECK- According to the Office of National Statistics 22-25% of children live with a single parent. See more here.
    6. Career gaps hurt women more. Women who take time out for children face CV gaps, halted career progression, and reduced pension entitlements, and these are rarely factored in when relationships break down.
    7. It's not hats off to one type of mum, it's a personal choice. Whether you work or stay home, every woman is doing her best in the circumstances she's in. The system makes it hard either way.
    8. Communication is everything in a partnership. When the understanding, compassion, and conversation break down, so does the relationship.
