This episode - the first in our brand new series (whoop!) is all about...
The strategies we adopt to try to BECOME the person we THINK we OUGHT to be as we grow up - and how those strategies can become so mis-guided at times that we turn into someone maybe even we don’t recognise.
All through life we have cross-roads - or as Gwyneth Paltrow might say, Sliding Doors. We make choices that take us down a particular path - and then we find another cross road or junction and another and another… until, before we know it, we can be a long way from home and no clear map on how to return.
OR RATHER
We might think we’re a long way from home without a map… because of course home is where the heart is. And that’s inside us. So technically we’re always home!
These strategies we adopt in this quest to be GROWN-UP, they can be things we’ve learnt from caregivers. We emulate their behaviours, positive and challenging, as a way of expressing our LOYALTY to them. And even when we think we’re rejecting something from our past, we can find ourselves repeating it.
Understanding where we’re getting our messages about what it means to be 'grown-up' can be helpful in enabling us to fully inhabit our TRUE ADULT SELF.
And that's what we'll be exploring today.

A space to settle in and listen, and see where the episode takes you. This inspiring, reflective podcast is an invitation to travel deeper, with compassionate self-enquiry.
Henny shares insights from her own life, alongside practices that help us connect with our inner wisdom, explore our relationship with change and find a greater sense of flow. Henny believes we all hold our own answers, so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions here. This is a space to be with what’s true for you, and to grow from there.
If you’re drawn to slowing down, listening in, and exploring what it means to live with greater authenticity, this podcast is for you. Guided by psychology, mindfulness, therapeutic coaching, flow journaling, and everyday compassion, we explore ideas that help us step further into our inner worlds, in order to shape the changes we seek in our outer worlds.
