In today’s podcast episode I speak to Mindset, Manifestation and Transformation Coach, Gemma Dean. We discuss how manifesting a car crash and £3k pay out led to Gemma’s desire to learn more about manifestation and how she could use it for the greater good, and how that ultimately led to Gemma doing the work she now does in the world. We also discuss the process Gemma takes women through to ditch the emotional baggage, negative beliefs, self doubt, burnout and overwhelm, so that they can step into the most confident, worthy version of themselves and manifest the level 10 life that they truly desire. Gemma also chats through some of the techniques she uses including NLP, EFT, TIMEline therapy, and Theta Healing. This is a really fun and inspiring conversation and I hope you love it.

Gemma recommended the book; The Surrender Experiment by Michael Alan Singer. We also recommended his other incredible book, The Untethered Soul.

In today’s solo episode I’ve pulled on my passion pants to discuss how so many of us have lost trust in our own bodies and how so many women feel such a resistance to invest in their health and ‘natural’ health routes because we have become conditioned by the media to believe there is something wrong with us and our bodies, and that our only option is to outsource our health to Western medicine. I’m also celebrating some epic clients who have trusted their bodies and holistic therapies and had epic success as a result.

Apologies for the poor sound quality in places. I used a new recording software and hadn’t connected my microphone in the right way, so it picked sound up from my laptop instead. However, I was so in flow in creation of this episode I felt it was better to have a poor quality, divinely channelled episode rather than a good quality ‘recreated’ episode. I hope it resonates.
