What if confidence isn't a feeling — but a method? One that works with your nervous system instead of forcing you past it? In this episode, I'm sharing the full journey — from a student who stood with her back to me facing a wall, too scared to be heard, to performing on stages at Glastonbury, to building a life and business where I help women find their voice every single day. I'll walk you through the exact 5-step framework I've been using for 25 years (first in vocal coaching, now in life and business coaching) to take women from shrinking and invisible to confident, expressed, and fully seen. This episode is for you if you go quiet in meetings, talk yourself out of the speaking gig, rehearse what you'll say — and then say nothing. I've been you. And I'm going to show you the way through. In this episode: Why "feel the fear and do it anyway" can actually create trauma The real reason confidence is an action, not a feeling My 5 tools: finding your wall, stepping into your future self, the breath & visualisation practice, the balance point, and remembering how you feel after My own story — from being mocked singing to performing at Glastonbury Ready to go deeper? My 6 Week Voice Liberation Container is an intimate, high-touch experience for just 4 women at a time. Together we work through every layer of what's keeping your voice small — using voice work, nervous system support, and subconscious re-patterning — so you can show up confidently and visibly in your business and your life.

In this deeply moving conversation, Ella Vida is joined by vocal artist and soul activator Natalie Farrell to explore how the voice becomes a bridge between consciousness, memory, and healing. Natalie shares her journey from classical training into intuitive channeling, revealing how surrendering “perfect singing” allowed her true cosmic voice to emerge. Together they speak about generational voice wounds, Atlantean soul memory, and what it really means to hold higher frequencies in the body. Natalie opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped her path — the passing of her beloved teacher, the creation of her EP Born to Stand Out, and the courage it took to step out of the spiritual closet. The episode culminates in a spontaneous vocal transmission between Ella and Natalie — a living demonstration of how sound can soften the nervous system, awaken the heart, and help us remember who we’ve always been. ✨ Explore More with Ella Vida   If you feel called to explore vocal transmissions, using your voice as a therapeutic tool, and connecting with your higher self through meditation and singing practice, you are warmly invited to join a Quantum Singing workshop or become part of the membership The Temple Within at:   👉 www.ellavida.com Insta: @ellavidacoaching ✨ Connect with Natalie Farrell   Training, music, and upcoming events with Natalie:   Website: https://nataliefarrell.co Instagram: @cosmicsongbird Natalie Farrell YouTube Cosmic Songbird Bandcamp Here are 6 key highlights from your podcast that listeners will find most interesting: 6 Must-Listen Moments 1. The Moment Everything Changed (03:01) Natalie shares the profound story of her final singing lesson with her teacher Howard Milner before he passed away - a moment filled with angels and the realization she would never see him again. This pivotal experience led her to stop singing entirely. 2. Live Vocal Channeling Experience (36:19) Don't miss this! Ella and Natalie spontaneously channel together on air, creating beautiful harmonies and frequencies in real-time. A rare opportunity to experience authentic vocal channeling and feel the healing power of sound. 3. The Fallen Voice - Healing Generational Wounds (13:38) Natalie reveals the creation of her most controversial track that caused people to walk out of performances. She explains how dissonant sounds can heal voices that have been "cut, stopped in their prime, and not heard" throughout generations. 4. From Classical Singer to Cosmic Songbird (05:38) After seven years of silence, Natalie describes the moment she knew she had to return to the studio. Hear how she shed perfectionism and procrastination to record her EP "Born to Stand Out" - and why she ordered wings. 5. Atlantean Soul Memory Awakening (20:34) A deeply personal revelation about creating music for the mother wound after miscarriage, and how the word "Shira" (soul song) led Natalie to remember herself as a soul singer by the waters of Atlantis. 6. "I'm Not a Joke" - Breaking Free from Past Lives (32:51) Both hosts share vulnerable stories of being silenced - from being kicked out of theater at 12 to past life memories as a jester being laughed at. A powerful discussion on reclaiming your voice after decades of suppression.

In this deeply honest and nourishing conversation, I’m joined by embodiment facilitator, circle-holder and community leader Meghan Field, as we explore the journey from burnout, trauma and disconnection… back into the body, the land, and a way of leading that truly sustains life.   Meghan shares how years of high-pressure social justice work in violence against women and girls (VAWG), parenting a neurodiverse child, and surviving a narcissistic marriage led to chronic migraines, panic attacks, anxiety and deep exhaustion. Despite years of yoga, meditation and spiritual practice, her body was still holding grief that had nowhere to go. Everything shifted when she discovered Qoya — an embodied movement practice rooted in a structure for freedom. What began as a visceral, full-body “yes” became the foundation that allowed her to process grief, reclaim her autonomy, and ultimately leave her marriage. We explore how this principle of clear containers creating safety for freedom now informs all of Meghan’s work — from strategic leadership roles to women’s circles and sacred rites of passage — and why practices like no cross-talk are essential for sovereignty, presence and respect (with a powerful nod to the lessons echoed in "Agatha All Along"). Meghan also speaks candidly about perimenopause — how it stripped away her resilience, triggered severe depression and anger, and rendered her usual coping tools ineffective. She shares the pivotal moment that led her to take time off work, begin HRT, and finally listen to what her body was asking for — a decision she credits with restoring her mental health and her “sparkle.” A huge thread through this conversation is land as ally. Moving to Cornwall brought Meghan a sense of belonging she had never known before. The land itself became teacher, collaborator and mirror — inspiring her Sacred Kernow practice, rites of passage, despachos (nature offerings), and the recurring message she receives again and again: "You don’t have to do this alone". This episode is a powerful reminder that embodiment isn’t indulgent — it’s essential. That leadership can be feminine, feminist, and deeply grounded. And that healing happens not in isolation, but in relationship — with our bodies, our communities, and the land beneath our feet.

In this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredible Ellie Mary — a woman who has spent over 20 years on the frontlines of the NHS, holding space for people through some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Her journey has been anything but linear, and today she shares the truth of what it means to trust your inner calling, even when it makes no logical sense. Ellie opens up about the repeated cycles of leaving and returning to the NHS, and how each chapter brought its own lessons, medicine, and soul initiations.   As a single mum navigating financial uncertainty, self-employment, spiritual awakening and the deep desire to help people beyond the limits of a system, her story is one of courage, surrender and profound transformation. Now working as a holistic health coach and energy healer, Ellie dives into:   Trusting the Universe when your path suddenly shifts Moving from the structure of the NHS to intuitive, soul-led work How her body guided her long before her mind understood The awakening journey that led her towards womb healing, Reiki & energetic work Supporting women through perimenopause, embodiment and empowerment The power of reconnecting to your innate body wisdom Why she’s writing a book — and why she’s launching a crowdfunder to bring it to life   Ellie’s story is a reminder that you are never “too far in” to change your life, and that sometimes the Universe whispers… and sometimes it shouts. Either way, your soul always knows the way. If you’re someone who is feeling the pull to pivot, awaken, or finally trust your inner knowing, this episode will speak straight to your heart.   ✨ Connect with Ellie: https://bodysoulalignment.podia.com/ ✨ Support Ellie's Book through Crowdfunder: https://gofund.me/c39b8a10d   Connect with me (Ella Vida): www.ellavida.com Instagram | YouTube | Podcast platforms   If this episode supported you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear this message.
