Soulful Sips & Spills

Flow to Freedom: From Shame to Self

In this episode of Soulful Sips and Spills, host Megan Billie welcomes Holly Hannigan-Mills from HM Coaching to discuss the transformative journey of releasing shame and reconnecting with oneself. The conversation dives deep into Holly's recent retreat, Flow to Freedom, held in the beautiful resort Casa Toretta Blanca in Spain where participants engaged in a variety of somatic practices and intuitive psychology coaching. With over 15 years of experience MH and wellbeing across corporate, non-profit, and private sectors, Holly brings a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to everything she does. From a Masters in Clinical Psychology, to accreditations & diplomas in Intuitive Psychology, Hypnotherapy & Restorative Sleep, Holly has a vast storehouse of knowledge and resources and her approach goes far beyond quick fixes. Holly shares her personal experiences of overcoming imposter syndrome and our discussion emphasizes the importance of embracing imperfections and the beauty of being human. Megan and Holly also touch on the significance of joy in their lives, the power of curiosity, and the necessity of nurturing oneself amidst life's challenges. They reflect on the societal pressures that often lead to shame and guilt, and how reconnecting with one's inner child can pave the way for a more fulfilling life. This heartfelt conversation serves as a reminder that it's never too late to start anew and that joy can be found in the simplest of moments. In this engaging conversation we delve into the profound impact of language around our beliefs and behaviours. Your words are like spells lovebug, and really can shape our reality.

Dance like EVERYONE is watching!

In this weeks episode we wanted to flip the script in the most powerful, raw, and embodied way. This was all about being fully seen, exactly as you are.  Fully owning your expression, and allowing your body to move in a way that feels fun.  In a way that FEELS good to you.  We wanted to remind you that it is not about cutting the best shapes, or following a specific routine. You don’t always have to sit in stillness or savasana style, confined to your mat. You don’t always have to pull everything apart to try & determine why you feel  the way you feel. This episode is your reminder that your way is the right way. What may light a fire under someone else's arse may leave you clenching yours! 😜 We we're absolutely honoured to invite our first ever guest to the podcast!

The turth about Anxiety

Eeeeeeeeee we're back baby!!! Kicking off the return of Soulful Sips & Spills I sat down with the absolute darling that is Anna Laing. A Mental Health & Anxiety Coach who shoots straight & cuts out the fluff, exactly what we want! Anna shares her deeply moving story where she was once suffering with crippling panic disorder which had started to take over her life! So much so her life was becoming smaller & smaller. She couldn't see a way out. She almost gave up. Until she discovered the Three Principles... that's where everything shifted. The clouds parted, allowing the light to shine through. She realized that wellbeing isn’t something we have to chase, fix, or hack… it’s something we already are. If you or someone you love has struggled with mental health, panic, or the constant need to “fix” yourself, this episode is is a breath of calm, clarity, and truth. 💚 So grab your cuppa, settle in, and let this one wash over you. Here's to coming home; to presence, peace & the truth of who we really are.

Intuition & Mental Wellness

In this weeks episode Megan & Joanna dive right into something that has opened up their world & feel immensely passionate about; Intuitive Psychology & Mental Wellness. In todays day and age we are always consuming & outsourcing - our decisions, opinions & even our feelings. We feel disconnected and unsure what's 'the right way'. We live in a productivity-obsessed world that rewards doing over being, teaching us to numb instead of feel. In this episode we wanted to challenge the status quo and explore what it means to reconnect with the wisdom within (that we all have access to) and approach mental wellness in a more compassionate, holistic way; across the 5 bodies (Physical, Emotional, Spiritual, Mental & Energetic). We talk about creating a relationship with yourself, your inner compass versus 'managing' symptoms. Expect real talk, reflections from our own journeys, and soulful sips of insight around how intuitive living can support emotional wellbeing, self-trust, and inner peace. Edited by: Megan Billie

From Burnout to Brightness: The Power of Intuition

In this compelling yet tender episode of Soulful Sips & Spills, we explore the silent ache that so many of us struggle with... Burnout. That feeling of being all the things to all people, stretched far too thin & of giving until there’s nothing left. This is not just a story of trials & tribulations - it’s a story of resilience, of reclamation and of remembering that there is a way back to yourself. You really do have all the answers. We were so honoured to be joined by the incredible Sarah Grimshaw — Master Intuitive Psychology Coach, Reiki Healer, and Lyrical Soul (Little Green Bird Coaching) as she courageously shares her personal journey through burnout, identity loss, and rediscovery. Sarah's story is a tonic for the soul - reminding us that we're not broken... Burnout is not a weakness.. it's wisdom. It's a signal. You don't have to keep pushing through, you are allowed to soften. This conversation is for the women who are exhausted. The ones who are holding it all together, whilst crumbling on the inside. Let this conversation be the permission slip you didn't know you needed.
