🎙️ Episode 45: 'In the Cocoon' 🦋

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you didn't plan. ✨ In this episode, I'm joined by my wonderful husband, Russell, for a beautifully spontaneous catch-up — and I have to say, it moved me to tears. We talk about the art of receiving 🌸, and how learning to open up to it has been one of the most quietly powerful shifts in both our lives. Russell shares his experience with a six-week men's mindfulness course 🧘, and the simple but profound insight about expectations that has genuinely changed the way he moves through his days. We also revisit the hilarious story of our very first date 😄 — where I took him on a surprise picnic 🧺, and he absolutely struggled to just sit back and let himself be cared for. 💛What I love most about this conversation is watching Russell grow. 🌱 From the man who once thought kindness might be a trick question, to someone who can now look at a red light and find the gift in it 🚦— that kind of transformation is heart felt in every sense of the word. 💫We're in our cocoon here in Gympie, Russell and I — growing quietly, getting ready to spread our wings. 🐛🦋 Thank you for holding space for us, just as we hold it for you. 🤍Your story matters. 🌟You can find me at 🌐 Website: https://www.juliemargerison.com  📩 Subscribe to my fortnightly newsletter to stay connected https://www.juliemargerison.com/newsletter 🎧 Available now on all platforms.🔗 Stay in touch:Follow me across my social media platforms here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartfeltwithjuliemargerison Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/16kXnE4SGn/?mibextid=wwXIfr YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JulieMargerison-q5l LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julie-margerison-1a4513374 Buzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514174 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3IqNNE9VP8FrCZgDyhZsWK?si=5898476e481a4622 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/heart-felt-with-julie-margerison/id1824601386 #HeartFeltPodcast #JulieMargerison #TheArtOfReceiving #MensMindfulness #GrowingTogether
