Episode 30 - When Women Gather: The Hidden Power of Circles in Our Time
In this episode, we explore the transformative power of women’s circles—those sacred spaces where connection, healing, and collective wisdom flourish.

From grounding rituals and deep sharing to the subtle yet powerful ways circles help us reclaim our inner strength, this episode offers insights and inspiration for every woman seeking authentic connection and empowerment.

Featured Post - Why We Should Share Our Stories
In this short video, I’m discussing the importance of sharing personal stories, particularly in the context of Birth Trauma Awareness Week. I highlight how women often keep quiet about their experiences due to historical oppression and societal norms.
I reference the concept of “witch wound” and trauma passed down through DNA, also emphasising that sharing stories aids in healing both personally and collectively, as it helps individuals feel less alone and normalises their experiences.
Finally, I mention a project I started to support mothers through their healing journeys back in 2020, when this video was recorded.
