Wildly Liberating

Perhaps the real awakening isn't found in becoming someone new, but in gently letting go of everything that isn't truly you.In this episode of Wildly Liberating, Beccy and Kerry explore what happens when the awakening we thought was the awakening turns out to be just another layer waiting to be shed.Together, they reflect on the identities we inherit, the identities we consciously choose, and the surprising ways life continues to invite us beyond both.Inspired by Carl Jung's concept of the Trickster archetype, this conversation explores the possibility that growth isn't always about finding answers, but about remaining open when the answers we once held so tightly begin to unravel.Drawing from their own recent experiences, Beccy and Kerry share reflections on identity, authenticity, surrender, and what it means to meet ourselves beyond labels.This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt life asking them to let go of something they were certain about, whether that's a belief, a role, an identity, or a version of themselves they thought would last forever.In this episode, Beccy and Kerry explore:• The difference between awakening and identity• Why even healing and spirituality can become identities• The Jungian Trickster archetype and its role in personal growth• Letting go of certainty and embracing curiosity• The ego's ability to attach itself to almost anything• Authenticity beyond labels and roles• The journey from inherited self, to chosen self, to authentic selfAs always, this isn't a conversation about having all the answers. It's an invitation to reflect, question, and explore alongside two women who are still learning, unlearning, and discovering what it means to live authentically.If this episode resonates, share it with someone who may be navigating their own season of change, growth, or transformation.Stay curious. Stay open. Stay close to what feels true.Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wild.ways.womanPlease share, comment and like. We want the 'woo' to be available to all!

What if menopause isn't something to fix — but a threshold to cross fully?In this episode we're reframing the whole conversation. Your body isn't malfunctioning. It's recalibrating. And it is done tolerating what it used to tolerate.We get into the actual facts — what perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause really are and why the language matters. We explore why menopause got medicalised, why so many women struggle to trust their own bodies, and why that distrust wasn't an accident.We also talk about the Maga — the powerful, often overlooked phase of becoming that comes before menopause. And we get into something that might stop you in your tracks: your monthly cycle has been mapping this journey all along. That PMT you've been pushing through? It was the rehearsal.This one's for every woman, at every age.Women who do Cycles WorkJane Hardwicke Collings -@janehardwickecollingsVictoria Smith - @the_red_earthAs always, please share, comment and follow us on this journey to making the woo less weird.Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - wild.ways.womanContact us - [email protected]

In this episode, Beccy and Kerry explore the power, wisdom, and sacredness of the female form.Together, they dive into what makes a woman’s body so special — not just physically, but emotionally, energetically, and spiritually. From womb wisdom and menstrual cycles to intuition, emotional intelligence, and self-trust, this is a conversation about remembering that our bodies were never something to fix, but something to honour.They reflect on how women have been conditioned to disconnect from themselves — to see their periods as inconvenience, their emotions as weakness, and their intuition as irrational — and ask what changes when we begin to trust ourselves again.The episode also explores the sacred feminine and the history of women once being seen as goddess, creator, healer, and life-giver. When did that reverence disappear? And what happens when women start remembering their power instead of seeking permission for it?This is a gentle, honest conversation about returning to your body, reconnecting with your intuition, and learning to love the female form with more reverence, softness, and trust.In this episode, we talk about:– Womb wisdom and the feminine centre of knowing– Menstrual blood, cycles, and cyclical living– Emotional intelligence and heart-led wisdom– Trusting your intuition and reconnecting with self– The sacred feminine and the worship of the female form– Learning to honour your body instead of fighting it– Returning to softness, self-trust, and inner powerIf this episode resonates, please share it with another woman who may need this reminder.And please like and follow for more episodes on the weird and woo.Kerry - @thisliberatinglife - www.thisliberatinglife.co.ukBeccy - @wild.ways.woman - www.wildways.org.uk

In this bonus episode, we explore the powerful collective energy building around Uranus in Gemini, alongside Pluto in Aquarius and Neptune in Aries—three major outer planet transits shaping a profound period of change and awakening.We begin with Uranus itself: the planet of disruption, liberation, innovation, and sudden revelation. Uranus breaks patterns, challenges outdated systems, and pushes both individuals and the collective toward radical evolution.From there, we look at the wider energetic picture of Uranus in Gemini, Pluto in Aquarius, and Neptune in Aries working together—an atmosphere of mental acceleration, societal reinvention, and spiritual ignition. This combination speaks to rapid shifts in communication, technology, truth, power structures, identity, and the future we are collectively creating.We also touch on Venus entering Gemini, adding a softer but important layer around relationships, communication, attraction, and the healing power of honest conversation. With so much Gemini energy present, themes of voice, truth, discernment, and connection become central.Overall, this episode explores what it means to live through a threshold era—where old realities are dissolving, new paradigms are forming, and the collective is being asked to choose what kind of future it wants to build.@wildlyliberatingKerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wild.ways.woman

There’s a moment where spirituality can stop feeling supportive… and start feeling like something we have to get right.In this episode, we explore what happens when the search for healing, meaning, and connection begins to pull us away from our humanity — instead of bringing us closer to it.We talk about the ways spirituality can become something we perform or strive for, through practices like sound healing, cacao, reiki, shamanic work, and moon cycles — all of which can be beautiful, but can also quietly turn into another standard to meet.And underneath that, we explore something deeper.The human need for connection.For grounding.For something that makes sense in a world that can sometimes feel disconnected or overwhelming.This isn’t about rejecting spirituality.It’s about softening it.About coming back to the body, to feeling, to presence.To the messy, honest, real experience of being human.Because maybe the work isn’t to become more spiritual…but to become more human again.✨ In this episode, we explore:What we really mean by “spiritual” and “human”The subtle pressure to be calm, healed, or “aligned”Spiritual bypassing (without the jargon)Why our humanity isn’t something to transcendHow returning to ourselves might be the most stabilising thing we can doA grounded conversation about what it means to be here, as you are.Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t.@wildlyliberatingKerry www.thisliberatinglife.co.uk@thisliberatinglifeBeccy [email protected]

Welcome back to Wildly Liberating In this episode, we’re diving into the world of signs — the subtle, the strange, and the “you couldn’t make it up” moments that seem to arrive at just the right time.From feathers appearing out of nowhere to repeating numbers, songs, dreams and those little nudges you can’t quite explain… we’re exploring what it really means when something feels like a sign.Is it coincidence?Is it connection?Or is it something in between?In this episode we explore:What we actually mean by a “sign” (and why it’s not as fixed as you might think)Why feathers, numbers (hello 11:11 ), dreams and everyday moments can feel meaningfulThe difference between looking for signs and noticing themWhy signs are often deeply personal — and why your interpretation matters mostHow to tell the difference between intuition and overthinkingThe importance of discernment (without killing the magic)Why signs aren’t here to control your life — but to deepen your relationship with yourselfWe’d love to hear from you…Have you ever experienced a sign that felt undeniably for you?What did it feel like?Do you notice patterns, numbers, feathers, or something else entirely?Come share with us over on Instagram  @wildlyliberatingPlease follow, share and leave us a rating — it helps other people find us (and lets us know we’re not just talking to ourselves )Book Rec:Signs- Dr Tara SwartKerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wild.ways.woman

(Warning - Contains content about miscarriage and loss)The Moments That Change UsThere are moments in life wheresomething shifts. Not always loudly. Not always visibly. But deeply, quietly…and often permanently.In this episode, we explore thresholds the crossings between one version of ourselves and another.We begin with the thresholds we recognise: birth, marriage, death, birthdays. The ones held by tradition, witnessed by others, and given space to matter.And then we move into the ones that often go unseen.The thresholds in a woman’s life:menarche, becoming a mother, creating something new, menopause, and the manyidentity shifts in between. Moments that are just as profound, but rarely namedor honoured.We also explore the everyday:endings, beginnings, choosing ourselves, letting go, stepping into something new — often without pause or acknowledgement.This isn’t about adding more rituals or making life more complicated. It’s about awareness.About noticing when something is changing… and allowing that moment to matter.In this episode, we explore: What a threshold really is.The milestones we recognise vs the ones we overlook.Why so many meaningful transitions go unacknowledged.How to honour life’s shifts in simple, human ways.The power of pausing instead of rushing through change.Just a gentle invitation to notice the moments that are shaping you.Take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t.And remember — even the quiet crossings count.To find out more about our work:Kerry:@thisliberatinglifewww.thisliberatinglife.co.ukBeccy:@wild.ways.womanwww.wildways.org.ukQuestions and comments:[email protected] Cycles Work - Jane Hardwick Collings

Mother’s Day is often framed as a day of celebration — flowers, cards, gratitude for the women who care for everyone else.But where did this day actually come from? And how did something that began as recognition quietly turn into expectation?In this episode, Kerry and Beccy trace the origins of Mothering Sunday in the UK and Mother’s Day in the US, exploring how these traditions began as moments of return, reflection, and honouring women’s contribution to family and community.From there, the conversation moves into something deeper.Together they explore the subtle cultural script many women have inherited — the idea that being “good” means anticipating everyone else’s needs, holding everything together, and caring at your own expense.With honesty and curiosity, they reflect on the ways women sometimes participate in these patterns themselves: where overgiving can feel safer than stepping back, where being indispensable becomes part of identity, and where resentment or exhaustion quietly builds.Through the lens of the mother archetype — not just nurture, but protection, boundaries, authority, and creation — they explore what it might mean to reclaim balance.This isn’t about rejecting care.It’s about redefining it.Whether you are a mother, a daughter, or simply a woman navigating the expectations placed upon you, this conversation invites you to reflect on how you give, how you hold yourself, and how you might begin to mother yourself with the same compassion you offer others.As Mother’s Day approaches in the UK, this episode offers a gentler, more conscious perspective — one that honours the past while inviting a quiet reclamation in the present.Happy Mother's Day to all the women.@[email protected]@gmail.com

There’s a lot in the air right now — and in this episode, we slow it down and unpack it.We begin with Chinese astrology and the Year of the Fire Horse — exploring what the Horse represents and what the Fire element adds. We talk about the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac and the five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water), and how each year carries a particular energetic flavour.We explore:What “Fire Horse energy” might feel like in real lifeWhy you may feel energised… or completely untouched (both are valid)How collective energy shows up personally — and why it’s never one-size-fits-allFrom there, we widen the lens to the current planetary landscape — eclipse season bringing revelations and endings, and powerful planetary alignments inviting both responsibility and renewal.We discuss:Why eclipses can feel like acceleratorsThe balance between illusion and clarityHow big planetary shifts can mark internal new beginningsThe difference between reacting to energy and responding consciouslyThis isn’t about predicting your future. It’s about awareness. Cycles. Noticing what’s shifting within you.Whether you’re feeling the spark of momentum or simply observing from the sidelines, this conversation offers a grounded way to navigate big energetic themes without losing yourself in them.No panic. No prophecy. Just presence.As always, take what resonates. Leave what doesn’t.The fire is yours to tend.

Surrender is a word we hear often in spiritual spaces. Let go. Trust. Release. But what does that actually mean in real life? Is it really that simple to just surrender? And if it were, wouldn’t we have done it already?In this episode, Kerry and Beccy explore what surrender truly is—and what it isn’t. We talk about how the idea of surrender is often used in spiritual gatherings, why it can sound freeing and frustrating at the same time, and whether “letting go” is actually possible when your nervous system feels on high alert.We also look at the other side of the conversation: control. The effort it takes to hold things together. The safety it can provide. The stories we build to protect ourselves. Because effort isn’t the enemy—it has served us. And sometimes, gripping tightly has been the smartest thing we knew how to do.This episode is a grounded, honest exploration of the balance between effort and ease, holding on and softening, control and presence. No pressure to transcend. No expectation to float above your thoughts. Just a curious conversation about what happens when we stop fighting what’s already here—and whether surrender might be less about giving up and more about coming into the moment.No bypassing. No pretending. Just real talk.Kerry - @thisliberatinglifeBeccy - @wildwayswomanEmail us - [email protected] you so much for listening and being part of this community.

Women have been gathering in circles for as long as there have been women—long before group chats, self-help podcasts, or being told to “just journal about it.” In this episode, we explore the history of women’s circles and why this way of coming together has existed across cultures and generations. We unpack what a circle actually is (and isn’t), gently dismantling the stereotypes to reveal it as a space for listening, sharing, and being witnessed—no fixing, performing, or arriving “healed” required.We share our own real-life experiences of sitting in circle: what felt nourishing, what felt awkward, and what quietly shifted in unexpected ways. Part of the conversation focuses on safety—what that really means in a circle, how it’s built, and why true safety isn’t about everyone agreeing or feeling comfortable all the time, but about consent, boundaries, and respect.We also talk about why women’s circles were lost or sidelined over time, thanks to changing social structures and a productivity-obsessed culture, and why they’re making a comeback now. In a world that often asks women to process everything alone—and silently—circles offer something surprisingly radical: connection, shared humanity, and the relief of not having to do it all by yourself.No chanting required. No compulsory vulnerability. Just honest conversation.Please share this conversation with women, far and wide. And leave us comments about your experiences or any questions you may have.

What if reconnecting with natural cycles could make life flow a little easier?In this episode, we’re talking about the Wheel of the Year—an ancient, seasonal framework rooted in earth-based traditions that tracks the turning of the seasons through Sabbats and fire festivals. We explore where it comes from, why it still resonates in our always-on, productivity-obsessed world, and how it offers a refreshing contrast to the Gregorian calendar (which, to be fair, is very good at deadlines). From fire symbolism to rest, renewal, and seasonal energy shifts, this conversation is about remembering we’re cyclical beings in a cyclical world—no rituals, no rules, no belief required. Just curiosity, context, and maybe a collective exhale.Please let us know in the comments how you connect to the cycles of life and maybe how you might be celebrating the turn of the Wheel.

This is our first full episode - perfectly, imperfect, unfiltered and very real. A longer and gentler conversation about intuition - our built-in system of deep knowing—and what it actually means to listen to it. We talk openly about our own experiences with intuition, from instinctive reactions and bodily sensations to those quieter moments of gnostic knowing that don’t come from logic or thought, but simply arrive. We also look at how easy it is to lose touch with this inner guidance: how conditioning, old stories, and the constant chatter of voices in our heads drown it out, and how we’ve slowly handed our self-trust over to devices, data, and outside authorities to tell us how we’re feeling, what we need, and who we are. This conversation is an invitation to remember that intuition isn’t mysterious or rare—it’s human, layered, and still very much alive.Join us as we make intuition a little less weird.@[email protected]@gmail.comThis week we are offering a free guided meditation into connecting with your Intuition - Finding your Souls Voice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8r70UHBIzEFollow you Tao - Stephanie Nosco@stephanienoscoWritten and Edited by Wildly Liberating
