Expanding Inward, hosted by Lilly Macfarlane, is a podcast about self-remembrance.

So much of modern life pulls us outward, away from our own inner knowing and intuition. This show explores how to look inward with curiosity, remember your true nature, and come to accept and trust your inner landscape.

What does it mean to make more space within? How can we widen our capacity to meet life as it is? And how does turning inward deepen our connection to ourselves, to others, and the world?

Here, the conversations stay conceptual, drawing on voices from a variety of lenses. For a more experiential relationship to these topics, find Lilly's Substack, also called Expanding Inward, with practices to explore and shift your inner life.

  • 7 Steps to Unlocking Your Limit with Poppy Delbridge
    Sep 2 2026

    7 Steps to Unlocking Your Limit with Poppy Delbridge

    In this episode we walk through Poppy's seven-step system for creating change that lasts. We get into what she calls IMPs (Invisible Mind Patterns), why "I'm fine" can be the most limiting sentence you say to yourself, and why hitting a limit isn't a sign to stop, it's just information.


    We cover:

    • The difference between pushing to succeed and creating from a regulated nervous system
    • What IMPs are, and how naming a pattern separates it from your identity
    • Five common IMPs: the Prover, the Pleaser, the Doubter, the Controller, the Diminisher
    • The "toleration test" — what you're quietly putting up with, and how that becomes the reality you're living
    • Poppy's frequency scale, from despair to bliss, and why the flat "fine" middle is the sneakiest place to get stuck

  • Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable
    Aug 19 2026

    We spend so much energy holding pain at arm's length distance. So many of us do all we can to numb it, avoid it & distract ourselves from it. In this episode I'm exploring what happens when we do the opposite and move toward what hurts instead of away from it.

    We look at the following through the contemplative and somatic lenses:

    • The difference between pain and suffering
    • Turning bad circumstances into the path
    • Resourcing, the window of tolerance, and titration
    • Why co-regulation matters
    • Practical tools for people pleasers and empaths

  • Reclaiming Your Energy, Boundaries & Intuition
    Aug 5 2026

    Maureen Walsh joins me in the studio (all the way from Hawaii!) to break down energetic boundaries. What they actually are, how to feel them in your body, and how to hand back what isn't yours.

    We talk about:

    • energetic boundaries
    • sensitivity as a strength rather than a flaw
    • the clairs (clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance)
    • how intuition shows up differently for everyone
    • why grounding has to come before any of the more expansive spiritual work
    • and why intuition is more important than ever


    Maureen will be guiding in-person, 1:1 sessions at The Space in London from August 11-13th. You can learn more and book your session here.
