The Still Point

What is mediumship, and what does it mean to connect with the spirit world?In this episode, we're getting curious about mediumship: what it is, where the modern Spiritualist movement began, and why the subject continues to fascinate, intrigue and sometimes divide opinion.We explore the different ways mediums describe receiving information, take a trip back to the Victorian era and uncover some extraordinary séance stories. There's also a surprising local connection, as Keighley has a significant place in the history of British Spiritualism.Coming to the conversation from different perspectives, Kerry shares her long-standing interest in visiting mediums, while Beccy brings fresh eyes and plenty of questions.We talk about intuition, belief, scepticism and discernment, and whether there's more to our experience of the world than what we can ordinarily see, hear and touch.Do we need to believe to remain curious? And can we hold an open mind while still asking questions?Join us as we explore the space between the everyday and the extraordinary, making the woo a little less weird while holding the metaphysical in reverence.Some of the mediums we follow in Instagram:@cholemediumship@tylerhenrymedium@davidthemedium

What if puberty was marked, not just survived?This week we begin a new series of conversations, Woo Women, where we sit down with women who walk in this world in their own way. Our very first guest is Charlotte.Charlotte is Belgian and moved to the UK ten years ago as a veterinary surgeon. Motherhood became her initiation, and it led her to Rites for Girls, where she trained as a Girls’ Net mentor and a Girls Journeying Together facilitator. She has been running girls’ groups and women’s circles ever since, and she has recently begun offering ceremonial space holding for women who want more ritual in their lives.Together we talk about:The coming-of-age rite of passage, and why marking puberty matters so muchWhy so many mental health struggles are first seeded in these years, and what girls need from the women who have walked it before themThresholds in a woman’s life, and what changes when we mark them with people and ceremony instead of rushing past aloneBringing back the “village feel” that so many of us are missingWhen women gather, the magic happens all by itself. We remember something that was never lost, only forgotten.Links and resourcesRites for Girls: ritesforgirls.comGirls Journeying Together, a year of monthly in-person support for preteen girlsGirls’ Net, six weeks of online support for girls aged 8 to 18Charlotte: @sarrecharlotte @_spiral.in_

This is the one conversation most of us are still too afraid to have. Today, we're having it.In this episode we talk openly and honestly about death — the silence around it, the way we shield our children from it, and the way we arrive at the deaths of the people we love completely unprepared, not knowing what they wanted, not knowing how to be with them, not knowing how to grieve.We share our own stories. Kerry talks about losing her mum, Beccy talks about losing her dad and her best friend — and what those losses left behind in their bodies, their hearts, and their unanswered questions.We also talk about what we can actually do differently. Death doulas, your legal rights around death in the UK, the lost tradition of keeping loved ones at home, and the ancient practice of keening — the outward, bodily grief that women were once celebrated for, and then silenced for.And we ask the question most of us never ask ourselves: how do you actually want to die?This episode is tender, honest and unafraid. We hope it opens something.Kerry and Beccy End of Life Doula UKWebsite: eol-doula.ukPhone: 0113 733 9100Email: [email protected] Bereavement SupportWebsite: cruse.org.ukFree helpline: 0808 808 1677Helpline hours: Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri 9.30am–5pm · Tue 1pm–8pmEmail: [email protected] children and young people specifically: hopeagain.org.uk

We’re back!In this first episode of the new season of Wildly Liberating, we’re catching up after the summer and exploring something we’ve both been noticing in our own lives: the still point.That place within us that can remain present and connected to ourselves, even when everything around us is moving.Because life gets busy. We get triggered. We react, think, plan, worry and try to work things out.But what if there’s another place underneath all of that?A quieter place that isn’t trying to fix, change or understand what’s happening.We talk about the difference between stillness and simply being stuck, what it means to allow life to unfold without slipping into passivity, and whether the still point is something energetic, nervous-system related, consciousness, presence… or perhaps all of these things at once.And, importantly, we bring it back to real life.How do we find those moments of stillness when life is anything but still?What genuinely brings us back to ourselves?And how do we stop treating time with ourselves as something we have to earn?Perhaps the still point isn't somewhere we have to get to.Perhaps it’s something we can return to.Again and again.Right in the middle of our ordinary lives.In this episode we explore:• The still point and what we actually mean by it• Presence, consciousness and the nervous system• The difference between allowing and waiting• What happens when we stop trying to make something happen• Finding moments of stillness in everyday life• The things that genuinely bring us back to ourselves• Why we don’t need life to be quiet before we can become still• And the simple practice of remembering that we can always returnWe also share a little about what’s coming next for us, including Kindred, our new series of gatherings beginning with The Weaver on 10 October.So wherever you are when you listen, take a moment.Notice your body.Notice your breath.Notice what’s holding you.And perhaps, underneath everything that is moving, notice what is still.This is Wildly Liberating — making the woo a little less weird.Hosted by Kerry & Beccy And if you are interested in our NEW in person offering here are all the details:KINDREDhttps://www.wildways.org.uk/events/gfs5bl2o2o1fqtl1spgcfbny3pxelfKerry @thisliberatinglifeBeccy @wild.ways.woman

As we wrap up the first series of Wildly Liberating, we're taking a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the journey we've shared over the past six months.In this final episode before our summer break, we're looking back at some of our favourite conversations, the themes that have stayed with us, how we've changed along the way, and the unexpected gifts that have come from pressing record each fortnight. We also share some of the beautiful messages and reflections we've received from listeners—thank you for being such an important part of this community.Expect honest reflections, plenty of laughter, a few glimpses into what our summer has in store (including planning on working together in additional ways), and a chat about what it's been like working together and creating Wildly Liberating alongside everything else life brings.As we look ahead to Season Two, we'd love to hear from you.If you're passionate about your own 'woo' work—whether that's healing, coaching, spirituality, creativity, energy work, nature, or another path that helps people reconnect with themselves—and you'd love to join us for a genuine conversation, we'd love to hear your story. We're looking for authentic voices, interesting journeys, and people who are excited to share what they've learned along the way.Thank you for listening, for your encouragement, your messages, your kindness, and for making this first season something so special.We'll see you after the summer.Until then… stay curious, stay open, and stay wildly liberating.Please contact us [email protected] - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - wild.ways.woman

Even on the longest day of the year, you still cast a shadow.This episode, we're getting into shadow work — what it actually means, where the idea comes from, and whether it genuinely transforms us or just gives us prettier language for something we used to call trauma.We go back to Carl Jung's real theory — the persona, the shadow, and his strange, brilliant idea that whatever we never make conscious doesn't disappear. It just plays out anyway, as if it were fate.We talk projection, repeating patterns, and the surprising truth that your shadow doesn't only hold your worst traits — sometimes it's hiding your power, too.And we ask the honest question: do we actually need to do this work, or is it optional?No neat answers. Just two women, talking honestly, on the brightest day of the year.Please share, like and follow if you too, are a little bit woo!Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wild.ways.woman

Hello and welcome back to Wildly Liberating.If you're new here — hi, we're so glad you found us. And if you've been with us for a while, you'll know that we like to go to some interesting places.Today we are going to all of them.This episode started as a simple idea — let's answer your questions. And you, being the wonderfully curious, beautifully weird humans that you are, did not disappoint. Karma. Past lives. Astrology. Joy. The big stuff, the strange stuff, the stuff you maybe wouldn't bring up at a dinner party but absolutely would bring up here.Kerry and I have answered every single one honestly, in our own way, which means you'll get two different perspectives, two different lived experiences, and probably the occasional moment where we surprise even ourselves.There are no right answers in this episode. There is no script. Just two women sitting with the questions that matter — the ones that make you wonder, that make you look at your life a little sideways, that remind you the world is stranger and more magical than we're usually given permission to believe.So settle in. This one's a good one.Kerry - @wildlyliberatingBeccy - wild.ways.womanAll Kerrys details of her Embodied Astrology are on the links in her bio.

Perhaps the real awakening isn't found in becoming someone new, but in gently letting go of everything that isn't truly you.In this episode of Wildly Liberating, Beccy and Kerry explore what happens when the awakening we thought was the awakening turns out to be just another layer waiting to be shed.Together, they reflect on the identities we inherit, the identities we consciously choose, and the surprising ways life continues to invite us beyond both.Inspired by Carl Jung's concept of the Trickster archetype, this conversation explores the possibility that growth isn't always about finding answers, but about remaining open when the answers we once held so tightly begin to unravel.Drawing from their own recent experiences, Beccy and Kerry share reflections on identity, authenticity, surrender, and what it means to meet ourselves beyond labels.This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt life asking them to let go of something they were certain about, whether that's a belief, a role, an identity, or a version of themselves they thought would last forever.In this episode, Beccy and Kerry explore:• The difference between awakening and identity• Why even healing and spirituality can become identities• The Jungian Trickster archetype and its role in personal growth• Letting go of certainty and embracing curiosity• The ego's ability to attach itself to almost anything• Authenticity beyond labels and roles• The journey from inherited self, to chosen self, to authentic selfAs always, this isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's an invitation to reflect, question, and explore alongside two women who are still learning, unlearning, and discovering what it means to live authentically.If this episode resonates, share it with someone who may be navigating their own season of change, growth, or transformation.Stay curious. Stay open. Stay close to what feels true.Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wild.ways.womanPlease share, comment and like. We want the 'woo' to be available to all!

What if menopause isn't something to fix — but a threshold to cross fully?In this episode we're reframing the whole conversation. Your body isn't malfunctioning. It's recalibrating. And it is done tolerating what it used to tolerate.We get into the actual facts — what perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause really are and why the language matters. We explore why menopause got medicalised, why so many women struggle to trust their own bodies, and why that distrust wasn't an accident.We also talk about the Maga — the powerful, often overlooked phase of becoming that comes before menopause. And we get into something that might stop you in your tracks: your monthly cycle has been mapping this journey all along. That PMT you've been pushing through? It was the rehearsal.This one's for every woman, at every age.Women who do Cycles WorkJane Hardwicke Collings -@janehardwickecollingsVictoria Smith - @the_red_earthAs always, please share, comment and follow us on this journey to making the woo less weird.Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - wild.ways.womanContact us - [email protected]

In this episode, Beccy and Kerry explore the power, wisdom, and sacredness of the female form.Together, they dive into what makes a woman’s body so special — not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. From womb wisdom and menstrual cycles to intuition, emotional intelligence, and self-trust, this is a conversation about remembering that our bodies were never something to fix, but something to honour.They reflect on how women have been conditioned to disconnect from themselves — to see their periods as inconvenience, their emotions as weakness, and their intuition as irrational — and ask what changes when we begin to trust ourselves again.The episode also explores the sacred feminine and the history of women once being seen as goddess, creator, healer, and life-giver. When did that reverence disappear? And what happens when women start remembering their power instead of seeking permission for it?This is a gentle, honest conversation about returning to your body, reconnecting with your intuition, and learning to love the female form with more reverence, softness, and trust.In this episode, we talk about:– Womb wisdom and the feminine centre of knowing– Menstrual blood, cycles, and cyclical living– Emotional intelligence and heart-led wisdom– Trusting your intuition and reconnecting with self– The sacred feminine and the worship of the female form– Learning to honour your body instead of fighting it– Returning to softness, self-trust, and inner powerIf this episode resonates, please share it with another woman who may need this reminder.And please like and follow for more episodes on the weird and woo.Kerry - @thisliberatinglife - www.thisliberatinglife.co.ukBeccy - @wild.ways.woman - www.wildways.org.uk
