This week on the podcast, we are joined by the incredible Denise Parpworth therapeutic counsellor, mother of three, grandmother, business owner, and one of the most quietly powerful women we know.

Hannah met Denise through our women’s circles, and after one very inspiring conversation we knew I had to invite her onto the podcast.

Why?

Because Denise speaks about things many of us experience as hard such as single motherhood, earning income alone, building businesses, childbirth, leaving home at 15 and she describes them as… easy.

Not because life handed her ease.
But because of the lens she chose to look through.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Building confidence through action
✨ Raising three children as a largely single mother
✨ Earning income without burnout
✨ Creating work-life balance by design
✨ The power of strict but supportive routines
✨ Why she doesn’t watch TV or scroll first thing
✨ The mindset shift from “this is hard” to “this will work”
✨ Home births, autonomy & trusting your body
✨ Gratitude as a daily discipline
✨ “Be. Do. Have.” designing life intentionally

Her morning routine alone is worth listening for!

This conversation is a powerful reminder that:

• Your mindset shapes your experience.
• Confidence is built by doing.
• Ease is often a decision.
• Discipline creates freedom.

This New Moon Solar Eclipse in Aquarius (Tuesday 17th February) opens a powerful eclipse portal. Eclipses are accelerators. They shift timelines, reveal truths, interrupt patterns, and invite rapid endings or unexpected openings.

But this one?
It’s not about force.
It’s about surrender.

In this episode, I guide you through:

✨ What a solar eclipse really represents (and why it only happens on a New Moon)
✨ The deeper meaning of Aquarius energy, visionary, humanitarian, revolutionary
✨ Why this eclipse at 28° Aquarius signals completion and course correction
✨ The nervous system lens: how to stay regulated during collective chaos
✨ Why you don’t need to manifest or “push” this moon
✨ The power of becoming an “island of coherence”

✨ Practical grounding tools for overstimulation, racing thoughts & emotional detachment
✨ How to work with your body (calves, ankles, circulation) during Aquarius season

We explore insights inspired by astrologer Pamela Gregory, nervous system research from Stephen Porges, and coherence teachings from the HeartMath Institute.

This eclipse asks:

Where are you putting your focus?
Are you seeding what you want… or reinforcing what you fear?

Remember:
You do not need to override your body to catch up.
You do not need to force manifestation.
Healing is integration, not acceleration.

In this episode, sisters Hannah and Sarah explore why so many of us are feeling deeply burnt out, especially in winter, and why silence might be the most accessible, powerful (and completely free) tool we’re overlooking.

Fresh back from co-hosting a beginner-friendly silent retreat in Kent, the sisters share what really happens when you slow down, put your phone away, and allow yourself to rest deeply. From mindful eating and nervous system regulation, to shared rooms, sound baths, fire rituals, and the unexpected ease of silence, this episode is a gentle invitation to reimagine how you care for yourself.

They also open up about the beauty of the retreat venue, the role of nature and birdsong, the power of presence, and why less really can be more when it comes to healing and transformation.

Whether silence feels intriguing or intimidating, this episode will help you understand why it’s so needed and how you can bring small moments of silence into everyday life.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why winter exhaustion is real (and not a personal failure)
• Silence as a free, life-changing tool for mental and physical health
• What a beginner-friendly silent retreat actually looks like
• Mindful eating and how how you eat matters as much as what you eat
• Shared rooms, co-regulation, and bonding without words
• Nervous system safety, birdsong, fire, and rest
• Yoga nidra, sound baths, and deep, restorative sleep
• Why integration after retreat is essential for lasting change
• Simple ways to introduce silence into everyday life
• Details of the next Silent Retreat in Kent (May 1–3)

Upcoming retreat:
✨ Beginner-Friendly Silent Retreat
📅 1st–3rd May (Bank Holiday weekend)
