Jade wrote an incredibly powerful article recently for Mother Pukka on the silence of white people on social media in the wake of the George Floyd murder, calling out how deafening it has been to have white voices stay silent when the Black community have been shouting about systemic racism for so long. In the show today, Jade is here to share more about to talk more in depth about the post she shared. She covers a wide range of topics from: Her own experiences with systemic racism The stereotype of the Angry Black Woman, and how that affects the voices of so many Black women to be surpressed How the silence of white influencers was deafening in the wake of George Floyd's death, and how we all have the position and collateral to do better How the Black women are 5 x more likely to die in childbirth due to racism How Black people are 4 x more lik

A couple of weeks back I shared how we can turn our experiences of dissatisfaction into strengths, after my unfortunate run in with an uncomfortable non-wired bra! This got me to thinking about just what satisfaction is in our BIG, BOLD BEAUTIFUL lives. On the show today I explore how we can expand beyond just putting up with our lot, and instead step into a life lived with full satisfaction. In the show I share:   ⚡️ Just what it is to live a BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life in satisfaction, and why it's more about living in the present moment that worrying about what you do or don't have. ⚡️ Satisfaction to feel satiated and just how it can be to feel fullness and contentment in all areas of your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life. ⚡️ Why satisfaction is about fully embracing those opportunities you take yourself forward with, and how to own your accomplishments and growth spaces. ⚡️ Satisfaction and fulfilling your desires - and how doing something that has been driven by a deep sense of calling and purpose leads to satis

I am beyond delighted to welcome back onto the Practical Magic Podcast my coach and mentor Suzy Ashworth. Suzy is a mother of three, a Hay House author, TEDx speaker and a mindset and business coach, who has been leaping into the wild beyonds of creating in the quantum field. I am down with the expansive power of energy and creating beyond our limitations, and I see just what’s possible when we step into that limitless space, so I invited Suzy on to share more more more. In this empowering and fascinating topic we discuss: Just what the Quantum field is and how we can go quantum leaping to create beyond our wildest desires. Why energy is ever-y-thing How you can become a master of your energy so that you get to be in co-creation with the universe How you can start strengthening your energetic field in order to go beyond law of attraction in the manifestation game. The true potentiality of activated leadership

What are you putting up with in your life right now that is causing you discomfort and dissatisfaction? Taking the lead for being open to more comfort in my life as we come out of lockdown, I ordered the ultimate comfort support - a non-wired bra. Game changer, or so I thought. Yes life without unnecessary wires is something to be cherished, but what I quickly noticed was that discomfort had been replaced by some bad design detailing on the bra that left me OBSESSING about it for days.   This got me to thinking about the levels of dissatisfaction we're putting up with, that lockdown is highlighting to us - the itches that need scratching - and making sure we do something about them now, before the doors re-open and we use the busyness of life to distract us.   On the show today, I'm sharing how you can turn your discomfort into a strength. One that you can learn from and do something about, before that seemingly small discomfort turns into an overwhelming burden.   You can also learn more about what you are g

In this episode i talk with the Gorgeous, Effervescent Donna Easton, the founder of LifeShine, which enables people of all ages to find a way to access parts of themselves that were locked away. In early 2019 Donna attended a dance and drama class with her then 3 year old daughter, she was struck by the rigidness of the lesson with little outlet for self-expression. Where was the freedom to be who you want to be, to dream, to play, to laugh? It was completely absent.  With first hand childhood experience of how confidence, resilience, mindfulness and an overarching healthy sense of self-worth result from play without an agenda, Donna got to work on writing the LifeShine programme to reinforce the value of play-not just for children but for the adults who care for them; Donna's mission is to help people recognise their worth, be confident in who they are, to have a few tools in their emotional toolkit to prevent mental health issues and enable them to have the time of their lives whilst doing it. We discuss:

How do you start your mornings?  Are you a pre-wee scroller heading over to Insta or Facebook to check in on what you might have missed over night? Do you dive headfirst into your emails before you've had chance to properly work out who you even are today? Maybe you catch up on the news before you've stepped foot out of bed.  How we start the day sets the tone for each and every day. The space we have each morning as we open our eyes is the most pliable time which creates the emotional and energetic preset for your day ahead. Waking up to something that's going to kick your fight or flight reactors into play is creating a day that starts with cortisol and adrenaline firing through your system, and builds up from that point on. Especially in these times of Coronavirus and lockdown, we are more susceptible to fear triggers from everywhere around us, and the more our fear triggers are activated, the more accumulate throughout the day and into your sleep. This causes something called allostatic load, which if lef

In lockdown life we have become aware of the duality of how we as humans give or take in nature and win our societies: Hoarding vs. sharing Going out vs. staying in Not distancing vs. distancing Self vs. society How we show up in our humanness at this time is a reflection of our relationship to the world. In time of lockdown nature is righting herself. With no planes in the sky, less heavy industrial activity and not so many cars on the road, she is coming back to homeostasis. It is shining light on some really truly uncomfortable truths that were always there, but that in light of COVID we can no longer ignore. Being a human in society and the spiritual balance of receiving and sharing so in this special Practical Magic & Soul Pod Party Podcast collaboration with me and Karmic Alchemist Matt Taylor we discuss: How to live inharmony and balance we must go beyond our nature and strike more than taking from our natural resource well. How to live within the Law of Nature Why the natural state of abundance

At the beginning of lockdown I was hosting some free online sessions where I would pull a Practical Magic card for the gathered group, and the same card kept coming up again and again; it was the SPACE card.  It's funny because at first people didn't trust what they saw 'It's just a blank card, there's nothing on it, are you sure that's supposed to be in the deck? ' When I asked them to feel into what the space card may be bringing up for them the words tumbled out: I need space I crave space This is what I've been asking for for so long I've been getting really curious about the lessons from lockdown and what we will be taking from them before the restrictions are lifted, and the resounding feedback, is that you don't want to lose the space this time has given you to pause, to reflect, to be rather than to do. In this week's Practical Magic podcast episode I am sharing the importance of space, and how we can harness it, what we can learn about it in lockdown. Also, how it gives us the opportunity to connect

We're going on an exploration of the energy centres, otherwise known as chakras, in the Practical Magic Podcast today. At this time when we've been feeling overwhelmed and disconnected, it's time to connect back into the wisdom of our body to tune into what's not feeling good from an emotional, physical, mental and spiritual point of view. Chakras are energy wheels that run through the body, and connect to what's going on in our body's, in our lives, and all around us. When they are out of whack, we are out of whack. So on the show I take you through each of the seven main chakras in the body, what they relate to, how you can tell if you're off in each of the chakras. Understanding what's going on from an energetic point of view has been the thing which has brought me home to my life, my body and my BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL self again and again and again, so I am honoured to share this information with you. I am also over the moon to be sharing a new online offering with you; the EXPANSIVE EMPOWERMENT SESSIONS ar

How are you managing yourself through this huge period of change which we have had thrust upon us with COVID-19? Likelihood is that you’re navigating your way through each day, and trying to find a way to create some ‘new normal’ Even though we are all in this, each one of us has a different way of responding and reacting to this new normal whilst collectively grieving for our old daily lives, our previous sense of identity, and the plans we had made before this all happened. So on the show today, I’m sharing how we navigate our way through change, and how we can use the 'Kübler Ross Change Curve' to see where we’re at, and where we might jump around on, to get some sense of awareness and grounding as we move forward. On the show I discuss the stages, and what might be showing up for you in each, and how you can move your way through them. What I do know is that our lives will never be the same again, but we will come out of this period of time, and we will adapt to change, so let's keep our energy expansive

What do you need for yourself right now Checking in with yourself and recognise how you are feeling at the moment Actions to take to deal with the feelings Changing your physiological self Raising kindness and compassion Creating the feel good hormones Learn something new Expand your energy challenge With love and magic Kate x  

“Today I have a lighter experience of suffering which only exists moment to moment. Generally my default state is one of peace which brings a sense of freedom, connection and endless possibilities within my life.”   Meet Life Mentor and writer, Nicole Barton, something of a unicorn within the self-help industry for her candid notion that nobody needs self-help. Committed to supporting people in finding freedom from whatever their particular form of suffering is, she is a breath of fresh air in her admission that while meditation, yoga and anything that leads us into soul-led expression can be useful to drop us out of our heads and into our hearts, none of these practices are prerequisites to peace. Profound, in that Nicole’s life thus far has not been devoid of challenge or trauma. Nicole shares her early experiences with Trauma and her thinking around her belief that people are born with an innate wellbeing and resilience and do not require ‘fixing’. In this episode we also discuss: Nicole’s early experien

In today's show I am talking about Disruption and how by stepping out of our comfort zone, showing up and doing something different we can put the BOLD into our BIG BEAUTIFUL lives. Disruption does not need to mean destruction, it is about being brave, taking chances and breaking old habits to enable us to connect to our purpose. It’s time for disruption, so what are you going to do this week to disrupt your pattern and move into your BIG,BOLD,BEAUTIFUL LIFE?

Living the BOLD in a BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL life can often be the thing we struggle with the most. Becoming visible and stepping up to share our voice can lead to all kinds of fears rearing their heads around being judged, not being good enough, or the good old imposter creeping in to try and keep us back behind the curtain. But, you are needed. Your voice needs to be heard. And thankfully, on the Practical Magic Podcast this week, I am speaking with Jessica Huie MBE, who’s here to help you do just that. She’s on the show sharing her work on Transformational Visibility. Jessica enjoyed a glittering career as a publicist and has worked with some of the world’s biggest stars, including Samuel L. Jackson and Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle. Her book PURPOSE, published by Hay House in 2018, has been instrumental in helping us connect in with our mission to show up and live life from a place of being guided from within - and now Transformational Visibility is about helping us to show up and share our voice. Jessica

When making changes towards a BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL Life we can rationally tell ourselves we know it’s going to take time, and that we’re in it for the journey, not just the destination, yet we still demand huge shifts and instant results straight away. Today on the Practical Magic Podcast I’m sharing with you a super-simple, yet effective strategy that will make a huge difference - the one percent shift. The one percent shift is about taking simple micro changes each and every day, that when added up over the course of a week, a month, a year, builds up to some serious BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL transformation. So, if one thing you can do today is to listen to this podcast episode, then let that be a step on your BIG, BOLD, BEAUTIFUL journey.
