This week, I’m kicking off a six-part mini-series on one of the most powerful (and overlooked) pieces of emotional wellbeing: co-regulation. I’m sharing why our nervous systems aren’t designed to self-regulate in isolation, how neuroception works without us even realising, and why connection is not a luxury - it’s biology.We’ll talk about how dysregulation shows up in leadership, parenting, trauma, and entrepreneurship - and why understanding this could change not just your relationships, but your whole sense of safety and success. This is the groundwork. The nervous system isn’t a mindset issue. It’s a felt sense - and this is your invitation to stop healing alone.Here are the highlights:Historical Context and Evolution of Co-Regulation (3:31)Self-Regulation and Connection (5:52)Neuroception and Non-Verbal Communication (8:55)Impact of Lack of Co-Regulation in Childhood (13:08)Signs of Healthy Co-Regulation (16:40)To connect with Adele-MarieLinkedInFacebookInstagram: WebsiteInfo on the Retreat in SeptemberFree meditation downloadThis podcast was lovingly produced by the humans at WAVEMAKERS AUDIO

In this episode, I’m ripping up the old rulebook that says success = sacrifice and productivity = worth. We’re getting honest about why so many women feel stuck around money, and how the masculine hustle model is not only outdated - it’s making us sick, burnt out, and disconnected from our power.I’m sharing what it means to redefine wealth from a feminine, embodied, nervous-system-regulated place. Wealth isn’t just a number - it’s a feeling. It’s safety, alignment, and capacity to receive without guilt or burnout. We’ll unpack emotional labour, money blocks, and the new belief I want you to walk away with: I no longer chase wealth - I align with it. If you’ve ever felt like traditional success advice just doesn’t fit, this one will speak to your soul.Here are the highlights:The Masculine Hustle and Its Consequences (4:00)The Feminine Approach to Wealth (5:48)Embodied Wealth and Nervous System Regulation (9:23)Practical Steps to Redefine Wealth (13:37)To connect with Adele-MarieLinkedInFacebookInstagram: WebsiteInfo on the Retreat in SeptemberFree meditation downloadThis podcast was lovingly produced by the humans at WAVEMAKERS AUDIO

Ever felt like you're doing everything right in business - but money still feels stuck, uncomfortable, or downright triggering? In this episode, I’m unpacking the wealth wound: the deep-rooted, often unconscious beliefs that tell your nervous system wealth isn’t safe, deserved, or sustainable.
