Welcome to the Earth Within podcast, I’m your host Sophie French. This podcast is a place for expression and reflection around cyclical living, creativity and embracing your unique essence to be in tune with nature’s rhythms. My mission is to help you earth your energy within and re-source you back to self, for you to feel radiant and empowered along your own journey in life, passions & soulwork. As a certified space holder and holistic mentor these are all concepts that I love to explore and importantly embody, and YOU are in the right place if you feel the same way too.
Listen in for this enriching conversation with Loretta, a mother, artist, photographer & mentoring client, living in bliss in Queensland Australia. We cover her life's journey, creative processes, creativity in motherhood especially as a Projector mother, and unlearning + de-conditioning using our Human Design strategy authority + much more. Loretta also shares what her time was like with me in The Secret Garden Mentoring. Such a beautiful conversation that includes ways we can unschool ourselves, to live a more creative and soft life.

Welcome to SEASON THREE! Join me for this episode of Seasonal noticing, creative rituals, permission slips to feel and be your cyclical self!
These are some of my go-to creative rituals as the inner & outer seasons change. We're going a layer deeper into your own creative, cyclical nature. We gather, without a destination but a divine focus on what is present along the way for each of us.
Presence with the process often allows our desires to be delivered by default intimacy with our truth & naturalness, so be on the journey.
SPRING - colourfully vision map ideas, SUMMER - express through dance, movement, connective experience, AUTUMN - writing and releasing through words and expansive discussion,, WINTER - craft sacred spaces through the senses eg touch, smell taste, curate playlists for you mood.
I love how noticing brings a new awareness or new perspective.
I see your magnificent seasonality.

Seasonality Exercise Questions
- What seasons are you in?
- What wisdom does it hold?
- How can you lean into the season even more?
- Now can you zoom out and name the multiple season your life, business, creations or relationships are in? (maybe using different textas or objects)
- What season is your life or soul work in?
- What seasons are your creations in?
- What season or phase of your menstrual (or moon) cycle are you in?
Orient yourself within the ecology of your life and remember nature's wisdom is that not everything needs to be ripe in the same seasons, at the same time.

Explore your inner landscape & meditate with me (Sophie French) during the full moon phase. There is nothing you need to do except find a nourishing, supportive + undisturbed position either sitting or lying down - perhaps covering yourself with a blanket, using an eye pillow and anything else to make this a sacred, devotional space for yourself.
The full moon is a beautiful time to look within, to what themes or topics are being illuminated in your life and what is also calling to be released, that is no longer serving your highest good.
Enjoy and please know I’m here to share any reflections with over Instagram DMs or email me xx

In this episode I'm with Courtney Whell discussing all things to do with space holding and the human experience. As well as being compassionate, holding space for ourselves and others, the online wellness world right now, being trauma-aware and how to approach the complexities of being a human.
