Description

Have you’ve ever felt transformed after a walk by the sea or in the woods? Have you’ve ever found yourself reaching for the biscuit tin when anxious rather than hungry, or noticed how your pet knows when you are feeling low? This podcast is for you.

Clare and Aileen take you on a tour of some of those relationships we often don’t think about but matter deeply. From pets and nature to time, food and even life and the divine, these relationships have the ability to shape our lives, comfort us, challenge us and sometimes reveal parts of ourselves we didn’t know were there.

Dip into some of the things Clare and Aileen chat about in this episode:

00:24 How your pet can teach you about tuning into your senses and being present.

03:34 Nature – when did you last give yourself permission just to experience it.

04:49 Time: what is your relationship to it? Do you find you don’t have enough or are you able to make time for yourself?

12:14 Having a relationship with place, do you have a sense of belonging where you are?

17:49 Understanding your relationship with food.

23:46 Relationships with the divine, the higher power, the universe.

27:19 Embracing the idea that everything will come to an end helps to embrace and enjoy each moment.
