Searching Souls

The shadow of the Feminine “flow” and re- committing back to your dreams Have you ever noticed yourself:Falling into victimhood (“poor me”)Questioning “why me”?Saying "I'm overwhelmed" or "I'm burnt out"Thinking “I can’t do…”Struggling to commit or re- commit to your dreams?This episode looks at a particular shadow theme of the Feminine: lethargy, or laziness. It can show up as a clinging to a victim story, falling into victimhood. In our nervous system, it can appear as a freeze state, what’s known as dorsal vagal shutdown, from Stephen Porges’s Polyvagal theory. In this state, we often feel tired, numb and disconnected from the world around us. It may show up as lack of ability to act or commit to anything; justified that we’re honouring our freedom to be in “flow”.We may be in this state for a long time, often getting physically sick or exhausted as a result. What we fail to recognise is that this is a story we are choosing to believe. In my next episode I'll share my practice around shaking (literally) myself out of this state. Much love, Micha

On leaning into Trust  This episode addresses Trust vs. Fear. Fear is a disease of the mind. It takes away our power. It is insidious in nature and keeps us from moving towards what we want in life and deafes us to the call of our Soul and Heart's desires. So, how do we begin to move away from Fear and into Trust?Coming back to Trust begins with one thing: Acceptance. Full acceptance of the present moment. Even when it is the most difficult thing to face. Even when we want to deny and blame and run away from our reality. We cannot be in full trust without acceptance.  In the second half I talk about Human Design and what I learnt from recently completing a Human Design certification.If you have any questions or would like to reach out, please contact me on IG: move.with.meeshThank you for lending me your ears, sweet ones. Much love, Micha.

On pleasure; pain and riding the temporal waves This episode talks to pleasures, desires and how scary and vulnerable it is to ask for what we want, even with friends and loved ones. I share what I’ve observed we, as humans in the western world, are craving around connection: to ourselves, to each other. I speak excitedly about my upcoming offering- a 4 week embodiment course. I touch on the fine threshold between pain and pleasure, through the lens of my experience with eczema and having high sensitivities. Finally, I speak to the difficulty of trying to connect with someone who is having very a different life experience to you and the grace of finding ‘bridges’ as a way to meet each other whilst remaining solid within yourself.

This week’s episode is part 2 of my conversation with dear friend, coach and mentor, Carmen Macleod. We talk about our Women of the World online women’s circle (part of Carmen’s High powered V@gina Vision Vortex), and the importance of having a support network when moving into the call of your Soul… This episode is being released around the time of the astrological Nodes shift. As the North Node enters Pisces- the sign of dreams, visions, creativity and play- let’s work with this energy to tap into our Soul’s calling and move towards the expansive Life we came here to experience!

This week I am in conversation with a soul sister and mentor, Carmen Macleod.Rarely have a I come across such a powerful manifestor as Carmen. She lives in unwavering faith and trust. She is carving her unique path as she goes and has a strong connection to her Soul's calling. On this episode, we talk about our experiences of breaking free from our previous comfortable and predictable lives and some of the unexplainable wonders and lessons that have surfaced as a result.This is Part 1 of our conversation. 

Dancing in the grey area of intuitionHow does your intuition call to you? What does it feel like in your body? Allowing intuition to come through can often involve deep listening, slowing down and carving out space to respond. I relay a recent, scary and edgy experience and how to tell the difference between a “no, this feels too scary” or a “no, this doesn’t align”… hint: it can be very subtle .. I cover the importance of meeting people, face to face, in a time of social isolation, digital meet ups and screen connections i.e. The desire of the body to be around other bodies.  I touch on the challenges of being mixed-race; the constant feeling of not belonging and the importance of time to yourself, without judgment in order strengthen your ability to listen to the Soul. Finally, as we wrap up the Gregorian calendar year 2024, an opportunity to reflect:What are the stories you’ve been telling yourself that are no longer serving you? What stories will you be re- writing for yourself in 2025?

I’m so excited to share my first guest episode! This week I am in conversation with a dear friend, Camilla, who lives an inspiring life directed by the call of her soul, and following her curiosities and multiple passions. What does it mean to live a creative life? How often do you embrace failure? We discuss the idea of freedom as the ultimate safety and the dangers of searching for that “one thing” that you love, that you’re meant to earn a living from and do for the rest of your life. We break down the narrative of being alone (as the worst possible thing that we could end up), the human need for touch and intimacy, and the pressures that today’s society put on defining our relationships. I love how Camilla talks about intimacy not as a choreographed dance, but as something improvised, with limitless potentials to go in any direction. Enjoy :)

Things are heating up in the Southern hemisphere! Summer is here and this week, we’re talking about love and dating. Are you using the apps? How do you authentically curate your dating app profile? And when you do get a match, do you start to project stories about them? How much mental space are you giving to these potential dates before you even meet? When on a date, are you noticing how you feel in your body? Or are you just on high alert for validation from this person? I speak about my experience getting back into dating (after almost a decade out of the game!) and having a new approach to it - with intentionality, higher self- worth and lower expectations. And for my women, I touch on the importance of sisterhood; of being in a women's circle and remembering the ancient medicine of these rituals. As well as the importance of being in tune with your cycle and your season.

This week’s episode explores the theme of Flow and Play: Finding your Medicine.What is the feeling of being in a state of flow? What were you doing the last time you experienced flow? What brings you joy in life? and what has following your joy led you to?I also share and declare my passion for dance as a sacred practice of presencing, emptying and being of service, and go into the story of how dance became a passion of mine and vehicle for me to reach my joy and True essence. 

This week’s episode explores the theme of purpose: why we’re all seeking it and the misconstrued concept that our “purpose” is something like a label that sums us up. Do you believe that you can access your purpose at any given moment? Can you recall a time where you felt truly, 100% in your fullest expression and radiance? What were the conditions that led you there and how do you feel recalling that moment?

Have you ever made a heartbreaking decision in order to know what was waiting for you on the other side? What is your relationship to alone- ness?This week's episode explores moments of heartbreak that have been pivotal in coming back to yourself. What was your heartbreak to breakthrough moment?It also explores the relationship to being alone; sitting with yourself. Choosing to look at ways in which you have been conditioned around being alone vs. dating.What is the script on what you are worthy and deserving of? and the importance of treating yourself as the Queen/ King that you are before expecting someone else to. What is the heartbreak that needs to happen in order for the breakthrough to occur?Also touches on what is happening in the world right now around the 4B movement and the greater awakening of women putting up boundaries around their choices, values and rights.

The first episode of Searching Souls introduces the podcast. Acknowledging those of us who have felt a calling of the Soul and the courage it takes to respond to it. I, Micha, share parts of my story, around what is was like to recognise and hear the calling of my soul and the serious work it took (and is taking) to step away from conditioning and trust the path less traveled.
