This has been a long time coming. I've been working in my business for 8 years as a women's coach, healer and guide and I am finally releasing something business specific later on in this year, which has been highly requested by my clients and community, Heartwork - A Mastermind For The Grounded Business Woman.
BUT before we Ground Your Business, we HAVE to Ground Your Life, if you're wobbly in your life, scattered in yourself and do not have strong foundations beneath you in your day to day life - I'm sorry to say, but your business is going to be wobbly, scattered and shaky too.
In this episode I share the importance of being truly, deeply, grounded in yourself in your life and how that has the most beautiful flow on effect to your business.
This is a call to the women in my community who are the CEO of their own business and are desiring more confidence, more flow and more impact to ground your energy, ground your heart and ground your heart BEFORE you ground your business.
Big hearted business women, this episode is for you.

I share with you all of the amazing things we have been up to over the past month, from our family holiday in Paihia, Sunny's personality and all the fun we are having together, how I am feeling inspired to get back to my biz and community (you) in 2023 and so much more from the past 4 weeks.

I finish off inviting you to check in with boundaries that you may need to put in place with family, friennds and the people around you over the next few weeks -remininng you that it's okay to put your needs first over this period, so you get to enjoy it in a calm, spacious and nourishing way.

This week I share the process to making the decision to put the tools down in my business and how months ago this is all I wanted, and then when it landed in my lap how ridiculous I thought the idea was. I speak about how the creation of The Forest, worked it's magic and medicine on me and put me through an initiation which ironically meant cancelling The Forest and refunding those who had already enrolled.
I unexpectedly get pretty emotional two cacaos may have had something to do with it and share how much it actually means to me and my family when you see the value in my work and choose to be part of my workshops, coaching/mentoring, programs, The Soul Room and The Journey. I hope this is medicine for some of you listening too. Thank you for being here with me.

The first episode in the MOTHER series where I will be sharing all things pregnancy, labour + birth and mamahood. This first episode was inspired by a question asked from an amazing soon to be mama who is in my community. The question was: "What were you telling yourself/practices for the mind in the days leading up to birth?"
I share what I focused on in the two weeks leading up to labour, as well as some affirmations that kept me grounded and excited throughout labour + birth.

Finally, a fresh new episode for your earholes. It's been a year and I'm excited to be back on the microphone and connecting with you all.
In today's episode we get caught up on a few things I've been moving through postpartum, how it feels to be slowly transitioning back into working in my business as a new mum and what my business will look like and what you can expect moving forwards.
I share an oracle card and message with you that I pulled this morning that couldn't have been more aligned for myself (and for many of you I bet).
I answer 5 of your questions that you asked over on my IG stories:
- Where do I even start? I'm feeling ready for a new life?
- Inspiration around jobs/career/business and living location, I've resigned from my job last week and feel like I need to move
- How is Nami (Pup pup sparkles)?
- I know you focussed a lot on nutrition for healing postpartum, what was your favourite meal?
- What changes will you make to your business now you're a mama?

We all desire happiness, love and fulfilment. But do you feel like you won’t experience those things until you reach a certain point?
You could wait for the perfect partner, the right house or the next level of success in your career but even when you get those things, there will always be something else.
There is no end point on the journey. There is no destination. The only thing that truly matters is being present in this moment.
Only when we are truly present and connect with ourselves right where we are now on our journey, can we embody what we desire when we reach it.
You are worthy and deserving as you are. Right now. Right here.
What can you do NOW to embody the feeling you desire?
What does success look like for you?

There is a certain level of discomfort that comes when we are being held and supported by someone else. Whether it’s a friend, colleague, family member or in a coaching situation, receiving from others can be so uncomfortable if we’re not well practised in receiving.
But when you allow yourself to be nourished and supported on your journey, a magical expansion takes place. In this episode, I talk about the energy exchange of receiving, what it looks like and the potency and expansion that comes when you actually allow yourself to receive.
Being in a place of vulnerability is scary. Your guard is down, your heart is open. And that’s exactly where you’ll find true connection. That’s the place you’ll begin to understand who you really are.

You are unique. Your journey is unique. And although all of our journeys are different from each other, we’re not meant to be living them alone. We’re all moving through our own experiences, dealing with our stories and the real magic happens when we weave our energies together and learn from each other along the way.
There is such power when we embrace the uniqueness of our destinies. With that comes validation, and the honouring of our emotions and desires. On our own journeys, together.
In this episode, I share about my beautiful new offering, The Journey. You don’t have to walk yours alone. Join the waitlist to be connected with other women, mentored by me, and supported and grounded as you walk your path.

Everything that is happening in the world right now is potentially going to be stored in our bodies and impact our children and our children’s children and so on. This ancestral trauma happens when emotions and feelings are absorbed into our bodies and are not cleared in our lifetimes.
In this episode, I have an amazing conversation with Loren Honey and I’m so grateful to bring it to you. Loren is an incredible human who is filled with so much warmth, love and wisdom. She is so grounded in the magic that she shares with the world.
Loren is a beautiful intuitive life coach in New Zealand. She runs breathwork workshops, breathwork journeys, women circles, has written an ebook, and is passionate about how our menstrual cycles are connected with our ancestral lines.
We delve into so many magical themes and energies in this episode. Ancestral healing and ancestral trauma, connecting to our inner guidance, somatic therapies, my own ancestral stories, intuition, our bleed and menstrual cycles and their connection to our ancestral line, and so much more.
Loren encourages us to clear trauma and emotions out of our body through somatic therapies; dancing, shaking, moving. Shake the emotion out of your body!
Loren’s ebook is called ‘Sacred Seasons’ and is filled with her amazing wisdom and magic. I would really love for you to go and read it right now. She is sharing this book and stories with the soulies in the soul room this week.
Slow down, reflect in solitude, be still and start small in your practice.
Loren and I would absolutely love to hear what you have taken away from this episode and the ‘aha’ moments you have experienced.

The energy in the world today can create such a disconnect from ourselves. I have seen this topic come up so often lately through connecting with my community on Instagram, with one on one private clients, and with the soulies in the soul room.
Are you feeling disconnected and overwhelmed? I am right there with you.
We end up feeling disconnected when we deposit our energy, awareness, and consciousness into the world outside of us.
In this episode, I really wanted to give you a beautiful understanding of how we can prevent disconnect by fortifying our connection to ourselves through our daily practices.
In every moment we get to choose how am I going to feel today? What am I choosing to experience today? Don’t forget the power you have - choice.
Picture a castle. Our daily practices are the foundations. These foundations need to be fortified, strengthened, and given energy through time and nourishment every single day so that we can build our lives on top of them.
I will share with you daily practices to help you carve out time each day to connect with yourself.
I really encourage you to write these daily practices down, work on fortifying your castle, and commit to doing them for 7 days.
Then check in on how you are feeling and let me know! I can’t wait to hear from you.

The void is a place that all of us will come to at some point in our lives.
It is a vast, empty, dark space where you may feel confused, lost, alone, unmotivated and overwhelmed.
Everything comes to a stand still.
I know because I have been there. I was in the void for a couple of months five years ago. I didn’t know what I was doing with my life, where to take my business, or even if it was successful or fulfilling. I felt like I had no friends, and was overwhelmed with life in general.
It was one of the most pivotal moments of my journey because I had to meet myself where I was and take responsibility for what would come next.
I am so excited and feel so privileged to share with you five ways to find the beauty in the void and to help you move through this momentous experience. These methods will help you to let go, and free your energy to feel nourished and ready to begin a new journey.
If you are in the void right now, I am sending you an enormous energetic hug that will connect us across space. You are not in the void forever and I am sending you all of my good energy to get you through this part of your journey.
“The empty room has immense power. Let others wonder what you are doing. If you can settle into the magic of emptiness, you will soon hear its whispers of wisdom”.

Past trauma impacts your physical body in subtle ways that you may not realise you are experiencing.
Whether it is through anxiety, restlessness, an overactive fight or flight response, or through physical manifestations, your body is trying to tell you something. You can embark on your healing journey by cutting out the noise, and listening and connecting with your inner guidance and intuition.
I am so honoured and excited to be speaking with Diala Barsoum who is one of my clients in the Soul Room and has undergone two rounds of the 6 month mentorship and mastermind ‘Sovereignty’. Diala is a soul coach, reiki master, works with Human Design and has the most amazing story.
Diala speaks very openly about her journey and her past trauma. She was born in Lebanon during the war and spent the first six years of her life in a warzone. She started diving into her trauma last year as she was working hard to hide it every day but was still unconsciously dealing with it. She speaks of her path of healing and the tools she has used to create a space in her life to trust and surrender.
We are so excited to discuss her new project ‘Rose Warrior’, a three month coaching program which includes one-on-one coaching, reiki, and Human Design reading.
Diala shares her advice for everyone who is going through their own healing journey with tools and guidance to support you. She has a magic for holding space with people where they are able to be themselves without any filters and I know that you will experience that in this episode.

A lot of us have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with social media. On one hand, Instagram is an amazing platform to connect with loved ones, potential soul aligned clients and share your magic with the world. On the other hand, it can be incredibly draining, soul sucking and lead you into the comparison trap.
But we can change that story.
We have the choice to engage with social media in an energetic capacity that promotes uplifting, fulfilling, life changing connections.
Check in with your beliefs about what social media means to you. Why do you use it? What is your intention?
In this episode, I share the new beliefs I’ve chosen and the intention I’m setting for using social media. Whether you’re using social media for business or simply to keep in touch with family and friends, I hope this resonates with you.

I’ve got something a little different for you today and I’m excited to share this conversation with you. I hopped into the guest seat and was interviewed by my gorgeous friend, Daisy Moore, to talk about my business, how it evolved, integrity in the coaching industry and loads more.
We talked a little about my journey, the importance of self-awareness and boundaries around social media and it felt so magical to connect in with my heart and share from that place. Daisy and I had so much fun recording this episode and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

We are all preprogrammed with stories from our experiences as children, the messages we received in those formative years that shape our worldview and how we see ourselves. Those stories play on repeat, over and over again...until we choose differently.
What has been your story up until this point? I want to offer you some insight and guidance on how you can move through this pattern of history repeating itself and start choosing the life you want. If you want to experience more fulfillment and more everyday magic, you have to choose differently.

I am blessed enough to have found an incredible life partner Arlo who supports me, nourishes me, and thrives with me. Since we met I’ve received lots of questions about how we met and how we work together as a team. I want to finally share this story with all of you today. I’ll dive into where I was in life before we met, how we found each other, and how life changed from that point onward. If any of you are currently calling a partner into your lives I hope this episode will inspire you and show you how the universe might be communicating!

Today I want to share with you some practices I use that help me lead a truly magical life. I’ve chosen five things that are really easy to implement so you can keep them in your toolkit and grab them out whenever you need them. These are secrets I usually just share with my one on one clients but I’m sharing with you all today to give an insight on some of the things people receive when we’re working together.
I would love to hear from you if you're implementing anything from this episode and I really hope you enjoy!

Today’s episode I want to dive into the story of my journey with you all. I’ve shared bits and pieces of my human journey in the past but this episode is focused on sharing my spiritual journey. Going into my whole spiritual story would take several episodes to share so I want to talk specifically around energy healing, reiki, and channelling in my life. To name just a few things, I’ll be going into when I first experienced energy healing from others, how I got into it, what my reiki attunements were like and how I’ve developed my skills over the years.

Today I wanted to speak with you about intuition, one of the favourite tools in my toolkits.
One of the biggest goals in my life and business is to help people tap into their own intuition. I want everyone to live a life where they can't trust their desires, their truth, and the signals from their intuition to find what’s in alignment with them.
In today’s episode I discuss intuition and alignment in two parts to serve that goal.. The first part being how to cultivate an environment or create space for your intuition to flow through. The second part being an outline of the difference between the feelings of intuition and fear.
I hope you can take a lot from this, enjoy!

I’m so excited to bring you another solo episode today. Recording is such a lovely experience for me and I love the feeling of connection I get with you all. A lot of my episodes discuss the natural power of beautiful mother earth but today I want to focus on the power that comes from honouring her changes and seasonal cycles.
In New Zealand, in the southern hemisphere, we’ve just begun the transition into winter and I always like to reflect on myself in these times of seasonal change.As children of mother earth we tap into her energies so the changes she goes through will naturally reflect into us. I want to discuss with you the best ways to harness this energy, to reflect on ourselves, and check in with mother earth.
As we’ve been transitioning from Autumn to Winter over the last few weeks, check in with what your body has been guiding you to do over this period. Can you notice anything that’s shifted recently? Is something not feeling as good as it did in previous seasons? What does socialising feel and look like for you right now? If this is the first time you’re checking in, you might be surprised by how much things have shifted for you and how they align with the earth's changes in winter.

Freedom is one of my core values in life. It means many things to me, but ultimately that I get to live my life on my own terms - in a way that feels so nourishing, fulfilling and in flow for me. I feel so grateful to live a life that feels truly free and it all started years ago when I really thought about what I wanted my life to be. It isn’t an easy process, to get to this point, I chose to take responsibility for where I was, I had the courage to create a vision for where I want my life to be, and I live up to that responsibility every day.
In today's episode I want to share five easy ways you can begin bringing freedom to your life today. The starting point is centering freedom as a core pillar in your life, but it can be difficult to know where to go from there so I hope I can provide some guidance.

Today I have my dear friend Monique Barry as a guest on the podcast. She is a mum, a creative, a business owner, a business mentor, and a life coach.
We discuss her journey to a place of living in truthfulness, learning the difference between privacy and secrecy, and learning how to choose how she shows up in the world. Monique shares her experience with Shadow Work, how she started, how it’s helped her, and what she’d recommend for someone looking into it.
We discuss the societal expectations of keeping busy and how that can harm us. How her perspective has shifted over the years and how becoming a mother helped her to reach a better place.
This chat is super juicy, super real, and super informative so I hope you enjoy it and can take something away with you.
Enjoy!

In today’s episode, I take you on a journey through why I do what I do? Why I share my magic and where it comes from? Why do I work with the women I work with? Why have I created this podcast? These questions have been on my mind since I recently attended a workshop and was asked - Why are you here?
All of us, alive on this beautiful planet, get to experience such a range of magical things in life but it’s all too easy to let them pass us by. Without even meaning to, we can become disconnected from ourselves, from nature, from each other and from the pure joy of life. We can avoid this, or reconnect ourselves, by taking time to reflect on life and truly feel ourselves in the moment.
I hope my story and insights are able to help you understand this and inspire you to strengthen your connection to yourself.

We all go through stages where things feel a little off, and you want to get to the next level. You’ve been feeling a bit stuck perhaps, and you’re wanting to call in more income in your business, a more fulfilling relationship, a healthier body - it could be any aspect of your life.
You feel like you’ve been putting the work into the area that you want to uplevel, but it’s not moving as quickly as you’d like.
I’ve been feeling this for myself lately after establishing I wanted to call in a new level of impact and income into my business. But I had a revelation. I can’t just focus on that area to see the results. I need to focus on all areas of my life, to support the next phase that I’m working towards.
So first of all, it’s important to check in with your vision. Do you have a vision for where you want your life to be? What does that next level look like, what would it feel like to have what you’re looking for?
If you don’t have the vision - it’s hard to take the steps that you need to take in order to get there.
It’s important to do a bit of an audit of where you are currently, and what needs to change:
- What habits are you currently repeating over and over again and you know they’re not going to serve this next level of your life.
- Your morning and night time routines
- Relationships and friendships
- Your body and your priority list
- How are you showing up for yourself in a way that’s supporting the next level version of your life
- In what ways are you not showing up for yourself.
Look at where you’re at currently, and assess what areas of your life are not supporting the vision that you’re working towards. Make a few changes and see how things shift for you.

This is a magical episode and I’m so excited to have you with me.
Today I’m talking all things Human Design with the wonderful, Hannah Crerar. Hannah is a human design reader, astrology magician and loves all things meditation and yoga nidra. She has this beautiful approach to self-discovery where she intertwines psychology and with the more new age modalities.
Hannah is very humble with her magic and I know that you will take so much away from this episode.
A few of the topics we touch on today include:
- Listening to your intuition and inner guidance
- The power of journaling and gratitude to support your mental health
- Going offline - switching off the screens and taking time off social media to reset and ground yourself
- We dive into my human design chart, and Hannah talks through some of the lesser known areas of the chart
I left this interview feeling super inspired to dive deeper into my own human design, and to learn more about it so that I can incorporate it into the way I work with my clients.
Hannah was so generous with her time and her energy. I fully received the guidance she afforded me, and hope that you find this episode interesting!

It’s been quite a full few weeks for me and in the past this pace would easily have sent me into a spiral, but I have kept myself grounded which gives me such a sense of peace. In today’s episode I want to dive into the concept of “being grounded” with you. Grounding yourself can give you the strength to move through the ups and downs of everyday life without that feeling of overwhelm. Grounding yourself can help to keep your mind clear and your body-centered. The connection we share with our mother earth is such a powerful tool, and is an important part of the puzzle to feel grounded consistently.
I want to share my experience with grounding, what grounding means to me, and how you can discern its meaning for yourself. I’ll also explore some tips on how you can ground yourself day to day. I hope this episode gives you some inspiration and motivation to start connecting more with the earth, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

Today I want to take you through the highs and lows, tears, and triumphs, of my past relationship breakups. They’ve all given me valuable lessons that help with not just romantic relationships but also my friendships. In the long run, I am truly grateful for these experiences and hope you might be able to take something from them too.
I realised that the grass definitely isn’t always greener on the other side. I forged a sense of self worth I was previously lacking that allowed me to establish clear boundaries. One breakup taught me to take responsibility for my future, and build strong foundations for myself, my relationships, my friendships, and my finances.
Being stood up helped me learn to let things go, to know that things which don’t work aren’t meant to be, and that if you’re going to stand me up you can get f*ked. I’ve had my intuition tell me a relationship wasn’t working but ignored it and got burned in the long run. Now I am much more trusting of my intuition when it picks up on things in all relationships.
I hope you enjoy the episode and are inspired to reflect on your own experiences and lessons you have gained from your past relationships and break-ups.

Sometimes it can feel like everyone is judging you, especially in the age of social media, and the unfortunate truth is there are always some people judging you and/or feeling offended by your actions no matter what you do. This judgement can stop people from sharing their truth with the world and from aligning with their passions.
I’ve experienced a lot of this on my journey and have grown resilient so that it no longer holds me back. In today’s episode I want to share some ways you can deal with the judgement and the fear of judgement, so you can keep moving forward with confidence and conviction. The world needs your magic.

My name is Bridget Paddon, I am spiritual, creative and a lifelong learner. I am a woman’s activation coach, I am a reiki energy healer, and I am a guardian of mother earth. I want to share my story with you and all of the steps that have led me to where I am today.
I was born in Southland New Zealand and raised on a farm where I began to forge my connection with the earth. I studied as a primary school teacher and eased myself into the teaching environment through relief teaching. During this time, I continued my studies with a Certificate in Sports Training + Development. After finishing that I began a Diploma in Professional Coaching at the Southern Institute of Technology.
I didn’t start this course with the intention of becoming a coach, but it was incredibly enriching. I loved working with kids and teaching but didn’t feel aligned in that work and just felt more tired and sick as time went on. Because of this, I resigned from teaching to pursue work as a coach. Over the last few years my coaching business has grown and evolved.

Making a podcast has been a goal of mine for a while now and I am so excited for it to finally be happening. Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to me today! On this podcast I want to dive into personal development, our power to choose, and most importantly getting curious about what it means to be a human.
There will be a mixture of solo and guest episodes. When it’s just me I’ll be sharing my experiences, tips and tricks, and guidance on specific topics. When I have a guest with me, we will discuss into their journey, exploring the challenges they’ve overcome and their personal magic. Overall, I’m excited for this podcast to be another conduit for me to connect with you all, on a more intimate level.
