RiseEpisode 13: Creativity (with Christina Hallett)This week on Rise we're thrilled to have another guest with us, our lovely Soberista friend, Christina Hallett. Christina is a 67 year old UK artist now living in Spain, who feels her art has transformed since she chose to live sober in 2019, becoming freer, happier and more full of movement and emotion.

We chatted with her about creativity, sobriety and wellbeing and how the three...2023-04-121h 06

Edgy IdeasDaughters and Mothers with Julia Vaughan SmithIn this podcast, Julia Vaughan Smith shares her reflections about mother and daughter relationships, having just completed a book on the subject.

Anger and hurt can become life scripts that are hard to shake off, limiting daughters' capacity to have joy in their lives. Simon and Julia discuss cross-generational patterns, and also how our relationships to parents continue even when they have died. How daughters relate to mothers, and children to parents more...2023-03-1634 min

RiseEpisode 7: Intentions vs ResolutionsThis week on Rise we're doing our very best to beat the blue Mondays at what is apparently the Most Miserable Time of the Year. We're looking at our own practice of intention setting for the coming year and why this feels much more supportive than the more traditional practice of setting resolutions.

RiseEpisode 4: Morning RoutinesToday on Rise we're talking about morning routines and how ours have evolved from the hungover blur they used to so often be into supportive practices which set us up for the day and give us a chance to pause and be a human being rather than a human doing even if it's just for ten minutes. Anyone who knows Liz knows she is a big fan of morning pages from Julia Cameron's Artist's Way, while our Julia is less convinced but willing to give them another go for her Rise and Shine!
