The Filosophy PodcastThe Cost of Saying Yes When You Really Want to Say NoThe Cost of Saying Yes When You Really Want to Say No
Have you ever found yourself saying yes, not because you wanted to, but because it felt easier than facing the discomfort of saying no?
In this deeply honest episode of The Filosophy Podcast, I share a personal moment where I almost betrayed my own values under the mask of kindness. What started as a simple ask for help became a powerful lesson in boundaries, self-responsibility, and nervous system awareness.
You'll hear me unpack:

What’s really happening beneath the behaviour? Often it’s a dysregulated nervous system, an unmet need, and a deep call for connection.
In this conversation, we’ll explore:
✨ Why the “manipulative child” myth exists — and why it’s outdated
✨ How young children’s nervous systems really work
✨ Why co-regulation is more powerful than correction
✨ How labels like “manipulative” create shame and disconnection
✨ Simple ways to shift your perspe...2025-06-0420 minThe Filosophy PodcastPostnatal Depression? It Might Be Unfed Values.When you're lost in motherhood, it’s easy to think something’s wrong with you. But what if postnatal depression isn’t just hormonal… what if it’s a signal from your soul?

(Even If You Poo Poo the Woo Woo)In this unscripted episode, I share the honest, sometimes messy, and always real story of my yoga journey.
How I found it, lost it, broke up with it (more than once), and eventually came home to it in a whole new way.
We bust the myths, dive into nervous system truths, and explore why yoga has nothing to do with how you look—and everything to do with how you feel.
If you’ve ever thought yoga “wasn’t for you,” this is your sign to come to the mat... and find your way.

In this episode, Fionna shares a recent aha moment involving a deep-dive into becoming a psychologist (yes, spreadsheets and all 🙈) and how it became the wake-up call she didn’t know she needed.
Through spiritual rituals, kriya yoga, and nervous system regulation, she found her way back to clarity—not by doing more, but by being more present.
✨ This is your reminder that clarity doesn’t come from spreadsheets—it comes from presence.
