The Connection Compass

Hello and Welcome back to the Connection Compass Podcast.Today I wanted share some thoughts about what it means to truly honour ourselves as human beings.In June I am launching my first private podcast series The Human Reset, a 10 episode container for you to listen to, reflect, take part in ground practices for you to use in life, love and work. To find out more, be notified as soon as it goes live sign up to the link in the show notesIt's the beginning of a movement I am growing, advocating and focusing on a human first approach in all we do, where we remember that who we are matters just as much as what we do.In this episode, I talk about listening to the quieter inner voice, making space for growth and mistakes, learning to sit with discomfort, and finding peace in being more at home within ourselves. An episode about compassion, possibility, and remembering that we only get one life to explore, experience, and enjoy.For information on The Human Reset Private Podcast

In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing what I've been up to, what I’ve been creating, what I’ve been questioning, and what’s been shifting beneath the surface.I reflect on my recent conversation with Marina Lorenzato around dating, self-worth, and relationships, and how that episode stayed with me longer than I expected. It opened up some deeper thoughts around emotional protection, vulnerability, and what it actually means to feel safe with a partner/potential partner .I also talk about revisiting a novel I wrote back in 2017, and how reconnecting with that version of myself reminded me that sometimes we’re quietly building things years before we’re ready to bring them to life.And finally, I explore something that’s been on my mind lately, in a world that’s becoming more automated and AI-driven, what does it really mean to stay human, especially when it comes to connection, dating, and relationships?More About the Host About the HostThe Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evans Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthriving

In this weeks solo episode I share reflections on building confidence through showing up imperfectly, how somatic yoga has helped me notice what I’ve been ignoring, and what it’s felt like to begin writing again and step back into creativity. There’s something about this season spring turning into summer that invites new beginnings, but not through force through allowing.I also explore what’s been unfolding as I move through my own Soul Story, what it means to surrender, and how creating space rather than rushing can reveal what’s truly meant for us. I touch on spirituality, the echoes of a Catholic upbringing, and the desire so many of us feel for something deeper, more expansive, and more personal.This episode is an invitation: to slow down, to listen inward, and to give yourself more than just a few seconds of your own attention.Access to Seasonal Soul Story Renewal Sign Up to Seasonally Guided Kajabiandrea_louise_evans instagram A Seasonally Guided Life Instagram Andrea Louise Evans Substack

In this episode, I’m joined by Philip Elisa, a former computer scientist turned spiritual guide, who now helps people reconnect with their inner compass and explore the wisdom of the Akashic Records.Together, we dive into what it really means to shed layers of conditioning, to release the beliefs and emotions that hold us back, and to begin trusting ourselves and life on a much deeper level. We explore those quiet but powerful inner nudges, the moments where something within asks, what if I just stop?and, the knowing that follows, guiding you toward something more aligned, more true.We talk about being sustained by your own genius, the courage it takes to take a leap of faith, and how learning to listen to your heart and gut can become the foundation of real trust. We also touch on discernment in a world of AI, reclaiming your own agency, and stepping fully into your soulful self without holding back.And in a deeply moving part of the conversation, I ask Philip a sensitive and important question through the Akashic Records, exploring why so many women feel a deep calling to motherhood that doesn’t unfold in this lifetime.This episode is an invitation to trust more, listen deeper, and remember the power that already lives within you.More About Philip Philip Elisa | StoreIf you see this, Your Guides are asking you to start ChannelingPhilip ElisaInstagramAbout the Host Seasonally Guided OfferingsThe Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evansLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthriving

Today I’m joined by the wonderful Karen Shaw parenting coach, author of Parenting Magic, and founder of Energy Inspired Coaching.Karen’s journey began through her own parenting experiences, which led her to explore communication, connection, and the powerful role our words play in shaping not only our children’s lives but our own.In this conversation We dive into NLP and what it really means, the energy behind the language we use every day, and how conscious communication can completely transform our relationships. Karen shares why “try” doesn’t carry the same direction as “do,” how words can harm or heal, and why no one can “make” us feel anything even when it feels that way.We talk about creating new patterns and beliefs, the importance of awareness, and those hard but powerful realisations that allow us to step out of victim mode and into empowerment.Karen also shares how Parenting Magic became not just a book about raising children, but about relationship magic as a whole and how slowing down, knowing your truth, and focusing on what you do want can shift everything.From parenting to menopause, from thoughts to vibration, this episode is a reminder that energy matters and so do the words we choose.For more information on Karen Shawm, her work and current offers [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077899878635 Karen ShawLinkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenlizshaw/My book on Amazon Parenting Magic - A New Approach to Behaviour & Communication https://amzn.to/2NVvjeAAlso my offer of 1-1 session for half price of £45.00 you can say for one month from date podcast goes out 04.03.2026-04.03.2026About the Host Seasonally Guided Access A Moment of Stillness Meditation (Free) The Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evans Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthriving

In today’s episode, I’m joined by May Cheung, founder and licensed holistic practitioner behind Calma Healing Space. May is a licensed acupuncturist and fully insured member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists, with over two decades of experience supporting women through some of the most powerful transitions of their lives, particularly fertility and menopause.May’s work weaves together traditional East Asian medicine, modern scientific understanding, and a deeply intuitive, attuned presence. Her approach reminds us that healing isn’t something that happens in isolation or through one modality alone , it’s about understanding the body as a whole, honouring its natural rhythms, and creating space for stillness, listening, and wisdom to emerge.In this conversation, we explore why massage can only take us so far, how the body is deeply interconnected, and why ancestral wisdom still has so much to teach us , especially when it comes to menopause. We talk about yin and yang energy, individual experiences of transition, blending science with deep intuition, and what it means when your training hasn’t just been something you studied, but something you’ve lived.This is a rich, honest conversation about confidence in your work, trusting embodied knowledge, and remembering that wisdom doesn’t only come from certificates, it comes from experience, presence, and being truly attuned to life and those you serve.More About May CheungCalma Healing Space: Women's Health & AcupunctureFacebookLinkedInInstagramSubmit a Question about this weeks episode About the Host Join the Cycles and Seasons Community The Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evans Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthriving

On the podcast Today, I’m joined by someone whose journey into creativity, honesty, and self-expression is as compelling as the stories he writes. Roger Wilson Crane rediscovered his passion for writing later in life, a spark that first appeared when he wrote and directed a school play at just fourteen, but truly reignited in 2020 when encouraged by his wife Victoria, finally gave himself permission to become the creative he’d always wanted to be.That decision led to his debut novel, Certified, published in 2021. The book not only became a Amazon bestseller, it went on to win multiple awards, including the prestigious 2021 International CIBA Mark Twain Grand Prize for Humour and Satire and a Bronze Medal in the 2022 Readers’ Favorite International Book Awards.It's a conversation filled with honesty, heart, resilience, and the courage it takes to tell your truth. I’m so excited to share it with you.

We talk about the intergenerational stories that shape us, the importance of tending to our inner wisdom, and how to stay rooted in ourselves as we walk our spiritual paths.I also share some of my own devotional practices , the quiet rituals that sustain me and support the future direction of this work, as the podcast continues to evolve and carry us toward spring.About the HostThe Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evans Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthriving

This week’s episode is a special one, marking almost a year since The Connection Compass began. To celebrate, I invited Heart Healing Coach Ashley Mondor to turn the tables and interview me.Together we explore what it’s been like to dream of having a podcast and finally bring it to life, how the process has helped me heal, rebuild confidence, and return to my most authentic self. We talk about working through the trauma of the pandemic, rediscovering my voice, and how meeting people through the podcast has reminded me of the power of connection.I share reflections on taking an unconventional path, learning to make friends with fear, and building strong roots beneath the surface — trusting flow, intuition, and the slow work of legacy. We also explore the deeper healing that comes from honouring our lineage, belonging to the cycles of nature, and cultivating meaning in this current season of lifeAbout the HostThe Connection Compass Podcast: https://feeds.captivate.fm/the-connection-compass/Instagram: andrea_louise_evans Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-evans-3a82577a/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wellnessandthrivingEvents by the HostBuilding  Safer Spaces for People to Thrive Monday 20th October 1000-1630, Manchester City Centre Meditation Bundle A Seasonal Journey: slow down, soften and reconnect with yourselfFor more information about Ashley Mondor Ashley Mondor is a heart healer, intuitive guide, and the host of The Free Your Heart Podcast and Insightful with Ashley Mondor.

Jack Nolan is one of the Northwest’s youngest and most inspiring motivational speakers on mental health, Jack. At just 19, Jack was diagnosed with bipolar, but instead of letting that define him, he chose a different path: one of self-discovery, growth, and using his voice to inspire others.In this conversation, Jack shares the pivotal moments of his journey, from being sectioned at 19, to diving into personal development at an early age, to finding glimpses of his authentic self in unexpected places. We explore what it means to trust the journey even when the path ahead isn’t clear, why mental health doesn’t define us, and how Jack has turned his passion into a mission to help others.This is a story of resilience, energy, and the power of every conversation to create changeIn this episode we discussJacks experience of being sectioned at 19 years old His experience of personal development at a young age and how this impacted his experience A glimpse of your most authentic self in the unlikeliest of places Trusting the journey even though you do not know how to get where you want to be Mental Health doesn't define us, we define ourselves The passion to speak and help others Getting caught up in the hype of micro success Resetting and Restructuring Making it and being a success of your own experience Every conversation coasts nothing but leads to something To learn more about Jacks work visit Jack Nolan Website Tik TokFacebook Instagram You Tube Listen to Jack Speak Jack will also be speaking at the Building Safer Spaces for People to Thrive through the Holistic Lens .
