It's been a hot minute! I took a 6-month hiatus/winter hibernation. I found myself at the end of last year resisting all the things I'd held myself accountable to....my health protocols, my supplement regime, my daily routine, and therapy schedules, AND my business, clients etc. I wanted more freedom, I needed it. The pressure to be consistent with everything in my life was feeling heavy and stale. So I took a step back, gained some perspective, and realized that I don't always thrive on inconsistency, structure, and routine, and many of you are probably the same! This is an 'I'M BACK' episode, as well as a wrapping up of the 1st season of the WHOLE SELF podcast. A farewell to what it has been and an opening for a newer, improved, and more aligned future of the podcast. There are 3 bonus episodes dropping soon to wrap up on a high. Episodes that were recorded last year and never released - and they are great! Keep up to date on IG - @iamleahughes & @_the_wholeness where I will be sharing all-new episodes, or sign up to my newsletter for (sporadic 😉) updates.

In this weeks episode I have guest, Emma Newlyn joining me to talk about Ayurveda, and specifically how Ayurveda can support you through the winter season. Emma is Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Therapist and Writer, with an extensive knowledge into all things Holistic health. We talk all about Ayurveda and how it can support you in general, and the way that we look at holistic health from an Ayurveda perspective. We begin with an introduction into how Emma began working with Ayurveda, and what Ayurveda is. There is an introduction in the Doshas, and some general ways we can support ourselves. Later in the episode we dive into Winter more specifically and Emma shares some tips on how you can support yourself through this season. Ayurveda is something that came into my life many years ago through my Yoga practice, and having incorporated some basic Ayurvedic principles into my life, after my diagnosis I knew it was that I could deeply connect to in order to support my healing journey, and it has been so support to my health, wellbeing and lifestyle. Emma is also my Ayurveda teacher after I decided this year, after years of working with Ayurveda in my own life that I wanted to get the training needed to be able to incorporate Ayurveda into the way I work with people - more of that to come in 2022. Enjoy!How to follow Emma :Emma's Website & Emma's Instagram BLOG : 5 ways to Support your immune system this WinterEkhart Yoga / BLOG : Living seasonally: Tune into WinterYoga MattersAnd remember to follow along with my over on IG and sign up to my mailing list for updates in the futureInstragam - @iamleahughesWebsite - www.livingfurthur.co.ukBOOK A HUMAN DESIGN SESSIONAPPLY FOR MENTORSHIP FOR 2022SIGN UP TO MY MAILING LIST  This is a public episode.

In this episode we discuss so much, from plant medicine, to breath work. Surrender to transition. Lauren Neuburger shares her journey of transitioning here business this past year and surrendering to the call to make a change, and head the call to plant medicine. Lauren was diagnosed with breast cancer when she was 26 years old and this diagnosis was the catalyst for change for the rest of her life. She turned her pain into purpose and left a career in finance and became a holistic nutritionist that specializes in breast cancer.After creating a signature coaching program for her clients that helped them heal physically, emotionally, and spiritually, Lauren’s journey through conscious entrepreneurship led her to work with sacred plant medicines like psilocybin, ayahuasca, and others. After listening to the whispers of the Universe and following her joy, she left her coaching practice to connect with her soul’s mission of raising the consciousness of the planet by helping people heal by connecting them to sacred medicines of the earth.She has a new podcast called psychedelic babe that is intended to demystify plant medicines, show the humour and fun sides to spiritual growth, and help you align in all areas of your life so your reality is wilder than your wildest dreams.I hope you enjoy this episode.

I'm taking the time Integrate for the rest of this year. Practicing what I preach, and diving in to my own expansion and growth. I'm going inwards, in the most 'anti-hustle culture' way I can and doing what my body, mind and soul want, to cultivate and embody all that I have gathered this year. As I reflected this past week on what I wanted to achieve for the rest of this year, I remembered how much I have already done! I've done a lot, and I deserve to enjoy that. To celebrate myself, and enjoy the fruits of my labour. ;)I'm sharing with you, where I've been and where i'm at, and all that I have done this year. Lastly, how I hope to show up for you next year....theres a lot happening, and it's all exciting! FYI - This episode was recording raw and unfiltered on a morning walk, so there is hustle and bustle of London streets in the background. But rather than me try to re-create what I said, i'm sharing my rambling thoughts with you so please excuse the dog, cars and babies...maybe some swans in the background! Instragam - @iamleahughesWebsite - www.livingfurthur.co.ukBOOK A HUMAN DESIGN SESSIONAPPLY FOR MENTORSHIP FOR 2022SIGN UP TO MY MAILING LIST  This is a public episode.

In this solo episode, I invite you to consider the boxes that you are putting yourself in and how they might be limiting you. We all do it. Often subconsciously. Even when we think we aren't, we are always trying to make sense of things, fit them into a perfectly laid out plan, fit ourselves into a box that makes sense. But in doing this we keep ourselves small, restricted, and hold us back from being the fullest expression of who we are!In this episode, - my most recent breakdown/breakthrough/awakening - How I have limited myself by trying to fit into labels and boxes- What happens when we follow someone else's strategy, or the 'plan' laid out to us by society.- The pressure we put on ourselves to follow the most 'respectable, 'easiest route. - Losing the connection to our true selves- How we can tune back into that version of us and start to create space for a more internal inquiryI also share some updates on how I am moving forward, following this breakthrough, into the new year. One of those updates is that I am closing my calendar at the end of November for 6 weeks. My offerings will be changing, upleveling, improving. To lock in Human Design sessionS at the current price/structure book hereApply for 3 month mentorship support or book a clarity call here* FIND OUT MORE ABOUT MENTORSHIP HERE* CONNECT WITH ME OVER ON INSTAGRAM!

In this episode I share how I found Human Design, or rather how it found me, and how it helped me begin fully accepting myself for who I truly am. Through my discovery of my chart I began the journey back to myself. It didn't reveal anything wild that I didn't know already, but gave me permission to fully step into who I am already. That permission it gave me, after years of feeling misunderstood and confused, is the reason why guiding others on the same journey has become so important to me. To give people the same permission to truly be themselves is a gift and support people in their relationships, their purpose. Human Design is a system built on ancient traditions and practices, combined, to create a detailed blueprint of our soul being. It provides insight into your energetic body, helps you understand how you energy may be best utilised and what themes and qualities are available to you in order to keep you aligned with your soul purpose. It isn't a system that requires you to do anything but be open, give yourself space to experiment and enjoy the freedom it gives you to really explore and connect with yourself. If you are curious about your human design then head over to www.mybodygraph.com and find out your unique design, If you want to dive a little deeper, book a reading with me and let me guide you through it! You can book a session HERE Or learn more about Human Design HERE Follow me on IG - @lea.livingfurthurI hope you enjoy this episode, like, rate review and subscribe so you are alerted when the next episode comes out!  This is a public episode.

Welcome Back! It's been a while! I took an unplanned break, but I'm back with a message for you. A really important message. I want you all to know the importance of knowing yourself, and listening to your own inner voice. In this episode I share a few tools to cultivate self connection, self awareness, but also share with you my experience or connecting back to myself. After years of living a life mis-aligned and in chronic self doubt, and low self assurance, my diagnosis took me on an ongoing journey back to myself. I was given an opportunity to really look at my life and adapt what wasn't working, so I did! Using tools such as meditation, EFT, mirror affirmations, and most importantly Human Design I started to re-connect to those parts of me that I had long been pushing away. I learnt how to embrace my true nature and start living a life that was guided by intuition and self awareness. If you are listening to this in real time (August 2021) I have a Human Design offer for you! Head over to my instagram and check it out. https://www.instagram.com/lea.livingfurthur/During the month of August there is 35% all Human Design offers.
