Take Me As I Am - An Introduction (May 2025 )
REINVENTION TIME
Another twist in my podcast life. I'd like to introduce you to 'Take Me As I Am', the next season of my podcast & my life. We have been off the air for 12 months, in which time my divorce settled and I fell in love with living freely again, including a newer version of me.
I have been through the wringer over the years but always bounce up, sometimes wiser and other times not so much. This one, the divorce bump, was one of my biggest learnings, especially about fairness, integrity and money.
I will show up here, warts and all, open, transparent and authentic ready to share what I'm learning so that you might have a smoother way in your own life. If you have questions, then flick me a message. 🥰
I'm an action oriented manifesting generator so I made the decision, recorded an intro and changed the name within a few hours. New artwork will follow. 😁
Much love to you on this bumpy life.
All swearing, farting, goofy, full of love human mother.

Take Me As I Am - An Introduction (May 2025 )
Let’s Talk About Control v Surrender Baby
Hello there gorgeous soul💜
I hope you are feeling well and happy.
This episode is about control v surrender and I think at the basis of it all is faith. Faith for something bigger than us, than our ego, than our heart and than our soul.
In July 2021, freshly out of my marriage, I was feeling stressed and out of control. The ‘plan’ that I had imagined about resolving the end of my marriage was not going to ‘plan’.
So I listened to the audiobook, The Surrender Experiment by Michael A. Singer. It really helped me to calm the f*ck down and relax into life’s flow. Now 16 months later with little progress in the resolution of my marriage, I am revisiting the book this time for a bigger picture reason.
(sidenote: imagine how much stress I would’ve experienced if I hadn’t committed to surrender 16 months ago, given the lack of progress?)
So when I was thinking about control v surrender, it came to me that there is control within the surrender. You can manage your responses and reactions to situations, experiences, people and events, you can surrender to them with awareness, compassion and faith.
And when you do, you invite in calm and peace and say goodbye to control and stress.
In the end, in my experience it helps if you have a belief is something bigger, something that is perfectly ordering the world, this planet that has been hurtling through space unheeded for millions of years. We are a speck on a small clod of dirt revolving around a sun in a galaxy that is one of millions of galaxies.
Yet we want to control our lives.
Makes me giggle with the ludicrousness of that.
What do you think when you think about the true reality of life on earth?
I hope this episode lands gently with you.
