Tap to send me your reflections ♡

A few years ago I started smiling at myself in the mirror...

The real story is what the smiling replaced.

This podcast shares my story of how I see myself - and how the stories we have grown up with influence how we see ourselves. It is also about how we can change - how we have a choice about what we think and what we choose to do.

You might find you engage with your mirror-self in any one of the ways I've listed below - and the ways may change, depending on your mood at the time, I know mine did (and if I'm honest, still do):

  • Give yourself the most cursory glance and move swiftly on
  • Avoid looking in mirrors at all
  • Take every chance to look in a mirror, and then regret doing it
  • Frown, gurn, scowl and deliberately make yourself look 'worse'
  • Use the mirror as an opportunity to identify all the things that are 'wrong' with you
  • Hiding in photos - or hating every photo you see of yourself

My own learning was this. We can all change our self-think. And while I know there are many facets to my own change journey, one step we can all take, straightaway, is surprisingly easy... smile.

I share the process I took myself through and how it has transformed the way I see myself.

I also reference the work of Louise Hay - after I had taken myself through my own process to identify and change how I was behaving toward myself, I discovered the work she had pioneered called 'mirror work'. It was a relief to know I was not alone in how I saw myself.

If you would like to work with me, to gently explore your own self-perception and sense of self-worth, then please do get in touch. I know how fundamental this shift was for me and I'm here if that is useful for you in your own journey https://www.reegroup.co.uk/contact

What is the Henny Flynn podcast?

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.
