The Missing Peace Podcast

I woke up this morning, having no idea that two hours later I would receive a strong knowing that The Missing Peace was ready to end. So here we are. Thankyou to everyone who has listened, supported or been a guest on the show. It has been a beautiful journey and I still hold The Missing Peace close to my heart. It has been integral to my healing journey and I hope that you have gained value from it in some way, shape or form. Do have a listen if you’d like to hear more, and my last ramble on endings and beginnings in life (in this current format at least), but if not, I wanted to ensure that you received the poem that I share at the end: Healing Time Finally on my way to yes I bumped into all the places where I said no to my life all the untended wounds the red and purple scars those hieroglyphs of pain carved into my skin, my bones, Those coded messages that send me down the wrong street again and again where I find them those old wounds those old misdirections and I lift them one by one close to my heart and I say, holy, holy.

I know how hard it is to untangle exercise from body image goals, but here I share how I have managed to do that, finding and ALLOWING myself to choose movement that I enjoy. I share my top tips on how you can bring in more joyful movement into your life, breaking free from the clutches of fitness culture. I recorded this after going for an impromptu evening run, which had filled me with so much joy because this movement wasn’t planned or part of a fitness programme that I ‘had’ to do; it was totally intuitive and was what my body was craving. Moving in this way brings such a deeper connection to our bodies, and brings in much more freedom and joy. Related Episodes (Not even an exhaustive list!
