In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I share one of my favourite annual rituals - writing a letter to my future self.

Each January, before I pack away the Christmas decorations, I write a letter to the woman I’ll be a year from now. It’s a practice that has grown from something simple and practical into a deeply loving, expansive and supportive ritual. Reading my letter this year reminded me just how powerful it is to become our own source of encouragement, reassurance and belief.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why writing to yourself can feel awkward and why it’s actually so healing

• How to create a meaningful letter ritual for your future self

• The magic of small acts of kindness towards yourself

• Reframing everyday tasks as gifts to your future self

• Using timers and tiny actions to create more ease in daily life

• How playfulness, self-compassion and intention can change how we experience our days

This is an invitation to slow down, soften, and tend to yourself... not just for today, but for the woman you’re becoming.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I’m joined by my friend Julie (Julie Bevan Art) for a chat....unfiltered “voice-note style” , the kind that usually happens behind the scenes between two women who are both parenting, building businesses, and doing the inner work.

We talk about the invisible rules we carry (“I can’t show up with wet hair”, “I have to sound professional”, “I need to be perceived a certain way”) and how much energy leaks out through overthinking, shame, and scanning for external validation. We explore the power of bringing unconscious patterns into consciousness , not by forcing change, but by seeing what’s running the show and gently reclaiming ourselves.

Julie shares what she’s uncovering about women being sidelined in art history (and how it’s lighting a fire in her!), and we move into the topic of beauty - how creating sanctuary at home, using colour, and making small seasonal changes can be an act of nourishment and self-honouring. We also talk about speaking shame out loud, talking to yourself as a taboo-but-powerful practice, and the liberation that comes from doing the “weird” things you’ve been conditioned to hide.

There’s rage, laughter, creativity, nervous system truths, and a lot of permission in here. The permission to stop diluting yourself and start living from your potency.

• The pressure to be “professional” and the exhaustion of self-monitoring

• Becoming more yourself online (and in real life) without performing

• “Potent” as potential and what happens when we dilute ourselves

• Beauty & sanctuary: colour, art, and home as a nervous system support

• Women erased from art history and why reclaiming “her story” matters

• Energy leaks: resentment, validation-seeking, and over-analysis

• Speaking shame out loud (and why it dissolves so much)

• Talking to yourself as reclamation (and why it’s wrongly taboo)

• Rage as life-force: safe release practices (the “swamp” / emotional release)

In this episode, I talk about one of my favourite quotes of all time...Carl Jung’s
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
It’s the quote that has guided me and inspired me over the last few years.

I talk about how awakening, whether sudden or gradual, cracks us open. How the patterns we’ve lived inside since childhood finally surface. How unsettling, exhilarating, and wildly liberating it is to see the “water we’ve been swimming in.”

I talk about how awakening can make “normal life” feel incompatible, how our sensitivity sharpens, how we sense people’s energy beneath their words, and how belonging shifts.

And then… that next Jung quote:
“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.”
I love this one too. This is really it, the path and the true liberation.

I share about awakening, questioning the narrative, reclaiming the true self, dropping the masks, dissolving the inner prisons, and stepping into authenticity, a vibration even higher than love. And why this matters for the rising consciousness on the planet right now.

I also discuss my current offerings:
✨ The Gentle Guide to Decluttering (free)
✨ Wild Simplicity: The First Step (masterclass)
✨ Declutter a Drawer — 1:1 Session (festive price)

This episode is a call to all of you out there who are peeling back the layers, dropping the masks. Here's to letting go, and to the magic that arrives when we stop calling our unconscious patterns “fate".

In this episode, I invite you to check-in with yourself. This one is a reminder for me, for you, for all of us navigating the mental load, expectations, and heightened energy of this time of year.

I talk about the importance of pausing, reclaiming our attention from our phones, recognising resentment and overwhelm as signals, and finding micro-moments of presence throughout the day.

I share how I’m practising time away from my phone, simple somatic practices, and the power of sitting down, literally, as an invitation to breathe. This is a reminder to return to ourselves before the world pulls us outward.

In this episode I explore:

• How December hype, pressure and mental load impact the body

• My own phone habits, sharing accountability, and why I’m putting my phone away in the hallway

• The resentment, overwhelm and cultural expectations around women carrying the invisible load

• Why we must advocate for our peace

• Simple practices for slowing down:

  • Hand on heart

  • Havening

  • A 10-30 second breath

  • Sitting on a park bench or a different chair as a cue to pause

• How to access stillness even in crowded, noisy environments

• Using shakers to release energy if you’re highly sensitive or have been around lots of people

• Reclaiming your December by simplifying, delegating and letting go of ideals

• Remembering the beauty of the season without abandoning ourselves

• Returning to your inner untouched pool of stillness and the wild simplicity within

In this episode, I share an early-morning message that came through at 6am, a moment of clarity that asked me to look at the question: What do I truly want?

I read the message word-for-word as it was typed on waking, honouring my process and the way guidance arrives for me. At the heart of it is my deepening call to help free women’s voices, support them in rising, and reclaim the wild simplicity that lives within all of us.

I explore:

• How intuitive downloads arrive in the quiet hours and why I’m learning to trust the uniqueness of my process.

• The core truth that my work in the world is about wild simplicity, liberation, and women’s leadership.

• My desire to stand beside women as they reclaim their courage, energy, boundaries and inner knowing.

• Why we must stop waiting for someone to save us and realise we are the ones who open the door to our next level.

• A metaphor from airport travel (yes, Ryanair 😂) that mirrors the healing journey and the moment we choose to step forward.

• The power of women feeling and moving emotions - grief, rage, joy, pleasure - instead of being overwhelmed by them.

• How I’ve shifted from categorising emotions into “days” to understanding that I can hold the full spectrum within a single hour or even moment.

• The distraction patterns that keep women disconnected from their inner power - appearance, productivity, perfection, “being good.”

• Why womb-led, heart-led, grounded feminine leadership is what the world needs more than ever.

• My own evolution from a shy, insular child to a woman stepping into her voice and remembering her inner wildness.

• The role of decluttering, simplifying, and intentional living as spiritual, emotional, and energetic practices.

In this episode, I’m exploring something that came to me during my morning pages...the job descriptions we quietly, unconsciously write for ourselves. The invisible criteria, rules, and qualifications we believe we need to meet before we’re “allowed” to live our own lives fully as who we truly are.

I talk about the ways we add to these internal job descriptions over time, how we adopt other people’s expectations as our own, and how this creates a lifelong sense of needing to be “more” or “better” before we can simply be ourselves.

We dive into what happens when we reconnect to the essence of who we are beneath all the conditioning. That part of us that is free, limitless, and deeply alive. And we talk about the fear that can arise when we realise how much power and freedom we actually have, and the responsibility that comes with stepping into the driver’s seat of our lives.

I share the importance of noticing where we feel resentment, irritation, fear, and stuckness, because these are the breadcrumbs that lead us back to our own liberation.

This episode is an invitation to rip up the job description you’ve been quietly living by… and to remember that you don’t need qualifications, permission, or proof to be yourself. You’re already here. You’re already enough. And your soul is asking to live your life as you, messily, imperfectly, honestly, and with wild simplicity.

This week on the podcast I'm exploring the question 'What if?' and how we can use this to expand ourselves into the world of possibility.

I'm asking the question 'what if?' not from the anxious 'what if it goes wrong', but the from the more liberating perspective 'what if everything is already okay?'

What if nothing needs to be different?
What if we stopped trying to fix ourselves and just allowed life to move through us?
What if we could hand over our worries, our striving, and our unworthiness and remember that we are already enough?

In this episode, I share reflections from my morning pages and how this question, what if, has become a doorway to freedom, curiosity, and play.

I talk about our subconscious patterns, the power of neuroplasticity, and how decluttering our inner and outer worlds creates space for magic.

And I also share something new...my 25-minute class, Wild Simplicity: The First Step. It’s an easy, grounding way to begin decluttering your environment and energy so that you can reconnect to what truly matters. You can find it at annaday.ie or here

So, what if you listened? What if this is exactly what you need today?

In this episode, I’m diving into one of my favourite topics - creation, co-creation, and the unseen magic that’s always at play in our lives.

For years I kept this part of my world tucked away, but it’s really the heartbeat of my work. Manifestation (yes, that charged word!) is more than just about visualising things we want. It’s about feeling them in our bodies, trusting in the unseen, and living as if the magic is already here.

I share how I weave these practices into my everyday life, from journaling and morning pages to conversations with my kids about timelines, the field of infinite possibilities, and creating our reality in real time. We’ll talk about the quantum field, the power of emotion, and how decluttering - both physical and energetic - creates the space for miracles to unfold.

This episode is a gentle nudge to play with life, to notice synchronicities, and to let yourself be in process....messy, human, and wildly alive.

✨ Come listen, feel, and remember the magic that’s been within you all along.

In this episode, I explore what it means to move from the periphery into participation. From lurking and observing to expressing and sharing our voice.

I talk about my own journey from being the quiet, shy child hiding behind my parents’ legs to learning how powerful it is to speak, to share, and to let myself be seen.

I reflect on how our words, compliments, and simple acts of kindness ripple far beyond what we can see and how sharing them nourishes not only others but also ourselves.

This is an invitation to take off the invisibility cloak, to stop waiting for the perfect moment to speak, and to remember that our self-expression is vital, regenerative, and deeply human. Whether through words, gestures, creativity, or connection....your voice matters.

In this episode, I’m diving into emotional decluttering - releasing the inner clutter that builds up over time when we suppress or avoid our feelings.

I share how anger became one of my greatest teachers and how the practice of swamping (a powerful emotional-release ritual shared by Regina Thomashauer, also known as Mama Gena) has become a daily non-negotiable for me.

Just like clearing out a drawer creates space in your home, moving emotions through the body clears space within, for clarity, joy, and aliveness to flow back in.

I talk about:

• The link between physical and emotional decluttering
• How anger, grief, and overwhelm can become portals to power
• Simple ways to move emotion...stomp, shake, dance, roar, breathe
• Learning to befriend your emotions instead of fearing them
• The liberation that comes from feeling fully alive in your body

This practice has changed how I move through life. It’s grounding, freeing, and deeply human. I hope it inspires you to reconnect with your body, release what’s been held, and remember the power that’s always been within you.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I’m diving into the supportive Virgo season energy and the recent new moon eclipse as a powerful moment for decluttering, letting go, and simplifying.

I share why decluttering our outer world creates shifts in our inner world, how even the smallest changes (like replacing a blunt potato peeler!) can reinforce our sense of worth, and how simple rituals can help anchor our intentions.

I also offer practical tips, like starting with non-emotional spaces, using the 20/20 rule, and setting a timer, that make decluttering doable and even enjoyable.

This is your reminder that letting go isn’t about deprivation, but about opening up to abundance, possibility, and a more aligned way of living.

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity podcast, I dive into what it really means to be human....messy, imperfect, courageous, and willing to show up even when we don’t feel ready.

I share about:

• letting go of perfectionism, trusting the next step to reveal itself, and learning to express ourselves without waiting for the “right” tech, tools, or clarity.
• shifting energy through movement, trusting in our inner knowing, and finding freedom in self-expression.
• how our feelings can guide us but also how we sometimes need to gently move through resistance instead of letting it stall us.

This is an invitation to stop waiting, to speak your truth in your own way, and to express yourself boldly, whether in voice notes, podcasts, conversations, or simply in your own family and friendships. It’s about building trust in the unknown, being brave enough to say what you need to say, and freeing your voice in this one precious life.

After a summer break with my kids, I’m back on the podcast reflecting on the tender transition of back-to-school season. In this episode, I share about the mix of relief, grief, and sensitivity that arises with the passage of time and how I navigate these shifts as a highly sensitive person.

I talk about the courage it takes to pause in a world that wants us to keep moving, the importance of marking transitions with ritual, and how decluttering both our homes and inner worlds creates the space to feel and reconnect with ourselves.

This is an invitation to honour your sensitivity, trust yourself in uncertain times, and remember that small acts of kindness and presence ripple out into the world in powerful ways.

Welcome to this week's episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast. In this episode, I share a personal update as I prepare our home for a month away and move through a deep reset.

I talk about:    

• Decluttering with intention and care for my future self
• Using pre-menstrual energy for sorting and simplifying
• The power of keeping promises to myself (especially around sleep)
• Emotional stabalisation through swamping and morning pages
• Making space for rest, stillness, and nature, even (and especially) in busy times
• Learning to trust my subtle intuition more deeply

This is reminder that even full weeks can be nourishing when we stay present and devoted to ourselves.

This week I’m exploring the energy of boundlessness. This is aword that’s been with me over the past few days, in conversations, and moments of presence.

In this episode, I share a personal story about choosing boundless love over shame in my relationship with my husband, and how that shifted everything in the moment.

I also talk about:

• The difference between boundlessness and being boundary-less
•  What it feels like in the body to soften into love when triggered
• How decluttering mirrors this process of expansion and possibility

• A moment of eye contact with my children that opened a portal to something bigger
• Somatic practices that help me access boundlessness in real life
• The beauty of choosing who you want to be right now, not someday
• Boundlessness is a word I’ll be playing with for a while. It invites me to expand beyond limits I didn’t evenknow were there. I hope this conversation opens something gently for you, too.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a mantra that’s been helping me through my days the last week or so: slow, simple, less.

As we ease into the summer holidays here, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to carry the busyness of the end of the school year into the first few weeks of summer. But my body and my kids have been wanting something different.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How I’m consciously shifting from that end-of-term frenzy into a slower summer rhythm

• A simple circle ritual I did with my kids to mark the transition into the summer holidays

• The importance of recognising unseen work and emotional labour, especially during summer with kids at home

• How the mantra slow, simple, less helped me navigate a birthday party weekend with presence and ease

• Letting go of excess, in my home, my schedule, and even my thoughts

I share some prompts and practices you can use to invite in more slowness, more simplicity, and more spaciousness, especially if you're feeling the weight of the invisible to-do list or the pressure to keep up during summer.

Welcome back to The Wild Simplicity Podcast. In this episode, I’m speaking about something I’ve been thinking about a lot: the importance of being yourself - your real, weird, wonderful self.

I talk about the parts of us we’ve been told to hide, our quirks, our edges, our wildness, and how those parts are often our greatest gifts and superpowers. I explore how we’ve internalised messages that told us to shrink or edit ourselves, and how reclaiming those disowned pieces is a path to personal freedom and collective wholeness.

I also reflect on the influence of AI-generated content and how it can dilute the unique voice of creators. I share how I’ve trained my mind to become more compassionate through affirmations, the subconscious work I started as a teen, and how those practices still support me today, alongside deeper somatic and body-based healing.

This is a your invitation to stop fitting in and start belonging to yourself, to your truth, to your beautifully messy human-self.

As always, I’d love to hear your reflections. What parts of yourself have you hidden? What would it feel like to bring 1% more of your real self into the world?

In this episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast, I'm sharing about my personal journey of decluttering at the moment and what I'm feeling called towards right now.

I discuss:

• How the process of decluttering goes beyond the physical space and extends into how we express ourselves and the mental and emotional clutter we carry.

• The nuances of how cycles and rhythms can be a wonderful guide and holding for us and how sometimes they can restrict us.

• Understanding how projections, like frustration with others (e.g., children or partners), often reflect unaddressed emotions or personal clutter.

• The deeper emotional work of deciding what to hold on to, what to let go of, and why it's so important to practice conscious decluttering and to go at your own pace.

  
  

  Enjoy and let me know where you are on your decluttering and simplifying adventure right now, whether that's in flow and excited or stagnant and stuck.

In this episode I chat with Sara Slattery, a friend of mine and a coach and mentor for women.

We talked about:

• The importance of community in motherhood
• Navigating career transitions and self-discovery
• The role of values in work and life in general

• The importance of simplicity and awareness
• Embracing change and discovery of self
• Discovering life's edges and bringing in play and experimentation
• ...and lots more!

A bit about Sara:

Sara helps ambitious (but tired) women lead with energy and impact, without pushing harder.

With a background in community development, child welfare services, and now private coaching and training, Sara brings deep, real-world experience to the table.

She partners with individuals and organisations to rethink how we approach work - moving beyond hustle culture toward models that honour both performance and wellbeing.

Her work invites us to reimagine not just what we do, but how we do it, so leaders and teams can thrive without burning out.

Whether she’s coaching women or guiding organisations through culture change, Sara is known for her warm, supportive approach to reimagining life and work.

In this episode I'm exploring something that's been very present (pun intended!) for me lately - Presence.

During a gorgeous visit from my friend to visit me here in Portugal I was having a think about what it means to be truly present and to really be in the moment, soaking it all up and not looking back later with a pang of regret that I hadn't really been there taking it all in.

I also talk about:

• Why presence has felt so important lately
• How transitions (like seasons, beginnings, endings, visits) can bring up tenderness and emotion
• The link between presence and emotion
• How asking 'what would my last-days-self say' brings me back to what matters

Let me know what this episode stirs in you and what your relationship is with presence at the moment. I would love to hear from you.

You can message me by email hello@annaday.ie or on Instagram @wildsimplicity

In this episode, I'm sharing my evolving morning practices of self-love, self-affirmation, presence, and joy, and how I've been playing with mirror practice, writing and dancing.

I also discuss:

• Why mirror work feels uncomfortable at first
• How morning rituals have changed my relationship with myself and my kids
• Why small, daily practices, especially in the morning are potent portals to connecting to our power
• How morning rituals don' t have to be long to be powerful

I would love to hear your feedback and your experience with morning rituals. You can get in touch on instagram @wildsimplicity or email me here: hello@annaday.ie

In this episde of the Wild Simplicity Podcast (which was recorded unexpectedly from the comfort of my bed!) I explore

• the internal and external blocks women face when it comes to using our voices
• what it means to express ourselves as women in a world that often silences us, not just through fear, but through the daily realities of life, family, and internalised beliefs
• what it means to express ourselves in an imperfect world

It's a call to share our imperfect voices, not someday - but now. If you’ve ever felt like your story doesn’t matter, that your voice isn’t ready, or that your truth is too messy to be shared - this episode is for you.

This week's episode came about from a few interactions recently with my almost 8 year old daughter and her observations and curiosities about me. I posted a Reel on instagram last week about this and wanted to share a little more. I would love to hear your stories and thoughts and feedback as we all continue learning and unlearning.

Thank you for listening - you can follow along with my musings and explorations on Instagram @wildsimplicity or go to my website www.annaday.ie to sign up to my newsletter where you can also find my latest offerings.

I have three women's circles coming up over the next couple of months - the next one is on March 26th at 8pm on Zoom and there will also be one on April 23rd and May 27th.

If you would like to come and sit with me in my curiosity and questioning and exploration of this wild and wonderful life then please do join us x

In this week's episode I'm talking about the power of going into the depths of our emotions, specifically those emotions we tend to try and avoid, the so-called 'negative emotions' and the power that awaits us when we allow ourselves to speak it all out, what's irritating us, what's going on for us right now, what's driving us nuts, what's making us angry, all of it, letting it all out and really going there.

I would love to hear your thoughts and if you're really feeling like you're 'in it' at the moment.

In this week's episode of the Wild Simplicity Podcast I share an image I have of a personal "ballot box" filled with golden tokens, representing acts of self-resourcing and self-love.

You can join me on Instagram @wildsimplicity for more inspiration and follow along as I navigate my journey of wild simplicity!

In this episode I speak about perfectionism and how I've moved from Perfectionist to 'Recovering Perfectionist' as I dance the path of imperfection and messiness!

This episode was originally recorded in May 2023....and then perfectionism hit, and something happened with the audio and I couldn't find the original recording so I thought, ok I'll just rerecord this at another date. And I still haven't almost 2 years later and I've just come across the episode waiting in my drafts section and have reluctantly listened to it.

So in the spirit of my recovery from perfectionism I am releasing it into the world in its imperfect form! Ahhhhh. Enjoy and I would love to hear any feedback you have (not so much on the crappy audio/tech issues!) about the episode. Thanks for listening and see you next time :)

If you're interested in exploring more about the topic of 'Voice & Courage' which incidently is wildly linked to this episode (the universe works in mysterious and wonderful ways bringing this episode back into my awareness now!)....I'm holding a women's circle on Wednesday 26th February on Zoom from 8pm - 9.30pm and then theme is Voice & Courage. Come and join whether you have the courage or not to share your voice. You are welcome to come along and listen and witness without sharing. If you'd like to join you can book your spot here:

In this episode I speak about discomfort. Our relationship to discomfort, when it comes up, how to be with it, and how to bring more of it into our lives! https://www.instagram.com/wildsimplicity?igsh=c3U4b2dtbHE5c21j&utm_source=qr

This episode is an update on what’s been going on from my place of hibernation. I’m still in full on wintering mode and having to stay aware of the forces at play that are trying to convince me to get up and get moving. The counter-cultural non-productive, slow-moving, resting and being needs my protection and is quite the act of reclamation in a world that wills us to do the very opposite. Let’s stay in Wintering for another while yet….are you in?!

In this episode I speak about the menstrual cycle and how pre-menstrual energy can often be a good time for decluttering and letting go. That delicious wild woman energy. Maybe you feel the urge to declutter at a different time in your cycle. I’d love to know! You can send me a DM on Instagram @wildsimplicity or send me an email to hello@annaday.ie - I’d love to know your thoughts :)

In this episode I talk about expanders - people who expand our sense of what’s possible in life and who broaden our concept of reality. Do you have expanders in your life who fill you with hope and possibility? If not, what type of expanders would you like to call in to your life?

Welcome back to the Wild Simplicity Podcast. In this episode I share some musings on some of what I've been up to over the past few weeks.

In this episode I give you my practical tips for reducing how much outside influence we allow in and how to dodge the distractions. We are bombarded everyday with so many nudges to need more, want more and buy more. Bringing these outside influences into our conscious awareness can help us find discernment for what works for us and our own life and what we allow in.

This episode is all about the process of simplifying and letting go and how it's not a linear process. It's a process of spiralling deeper and deeper into ourselves as we gain more clarity of what it is we want in life, what we want our life to look like, and how we want to feel. Our outer world is a reflection of our inner world and decluttering our physical belongings can be a catalyst for a deeper letting go and transformation of our whole life.

In this episode I share a visual that recently came to me which represents the restriction I have felt in my life from being hooked into all the ideals and expectations that society and others have of me, and then the freedom I have experienced from unhooking (often repeatedly!) from these societal, cultural and familial expectations and limitations. I would love to know what you have been unhooking from in your life and what visual (or sound or feeling or smell or taste!) represents freedom to you.
