The Embodied Transformation Podcast

This episode takes you into Day Two of the Holistic Awakening School's Open Days. Louise goes deep into the piece that underpins everything else in the Embodied Transformation Method: the nervous system of the practitioner. She breaks down three nervous system states in plain language, and shows exactly how each one shows up when we market, run sales calls, and sit with clients, including the override pattern that so many practitioners are praised for and end up burning out from. She's then joined by head of faculty Lucy Maeve and certification students Olga Marini, Steph Buckley and Michael Crowley for a panel on what the practice sessions really involve, and why this work changes practitioners as much as it changes their clients. In This Episode Why your client's nervous system is reading yours in real time, underneath every question you ask. A simple, jargon-free way to recognise three nervous system states in yourself: regulated, activated and freeze. The window of tolerance, what widens it, and why you can't think or discipline your way into a wider one. How these states show up specifically in marketing, sales conversations and client sessions, with examples Louise names from her own life. Override: the pattern of ignoring your own signals that gets praised as commitment and professionalism, and its real cost. A simple regulation tool you can use with yourself or a client. Head of faculty Lucy Maeve on her training with Gabor Maté and why body-based practices need a psychological framework to hold what they bring up. Certification students Olga Marini, Steph Buckley and Michael Crowley on what's shifted for them, and what the live practice sessions really involve.

This episode takes you inside Day One of the Holistic Awakening School's first ever Open Days. Louise teaches the Embodied Transformation Method live: the three practices and six initiations that sit at the heart of the Embodied Transformation Practitioner Certification, and why awareness on its own so rarely creates lasting change. She's then joined by three current certification students, Kim Jarman, Michael Crowley and Steph Buckley, for an unscripted conversation about what the training has actually been like: the workbooks, the community, the parts that have been challenging, and why none of it works unless you're willing to do the work on yourself first. In This Episode Why Louise left a career in law for coaching, and the burnout that started it all. What embodied transformation actually means, and why awareness on its own so rarely changes behaviour. The three practices behind the method: integrating the inner council, somatic alchemy, and remembering the language of the soul. The six initiations of the Embodied Transformation Method, and why they work more like an apothecary than a checklist. Why “we are not responsible for the transformation, only for holding the conditions for it.” Certification students Kim Jarman, Michael Crowley and Steph Buckley on why they joined, what surprised them, and what the workbooks and community are really like. What's included in the next round of the Embodied Transformation Practitioner Certification, and the Time Alchemy membership that comes with it.

Lucy Maeve returns to the podcast for another wide-ranging conversation, this time exploring the idea that everything is relational. Louise and Lucy move past fixed attachment-style labels to look at how our capacity to be in relationship, romantic, platonic, familial, and even with money and work, shows us exactly where our healing still needs to happen. They talk about why a decade of solo empowerment work has left a lot of people relationally isolated, what it really takes to stay in connection when things get hard, the sister wound between women, and why the goal was never to remove all the difficulty from relationship, but to let it do its job. What we cover: Lucy shares why she no longer subscribes to fixed attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, disorganised), and why she's more interested in the different parts of us that show up depending on who we're in relationship with. Louise reflects on once identifying strongly with a “disorganised” attachment style, and why over-identifying with any label can keep us trapped rather than help us heal. Why relational work matters Lucy on the limits of solo healing work (journaling, therapy alone, oracle cards) and how a decade-long focus on personal empowerment has left many people more isolated, not less. The gap between looking professionally “put together” and being able to be truly open in relationship, and why real relationships surface what solo work can't. Relationships as a mirror Louise on the patterns her husband Nat triggers that mirror her relationship with her father, and why staying in the discomfort (rather than retreating to an imaginary cabin in the woods) is the actual work. Why a relationship being hard isn't a sign it's the wrong relationship. It's often a sign of exactly what it's there to show you. The performance versus the real self Lucy on why people who are professionally “nailing it” can find it terrifying to simply be themselves in a room of peers, and why dropping the performance is the real test of relational work. Louise on not knowing what she “found fun” after being signed off work with stress in 2018, and how identifying with a job title can disconnect us from our own wholeness. Lucy's story: anxiety, recurring UTIs, and getting curious Lucy's experience of sudden, extreme anxiety and nine months of recurrent UTIs early in her relationship with Thomas, and how getting curious, rather than taking “trust your body” at face value, helped her understand what was actually happening. Why advice like “if it's not a full-body yes, it's a no” can be unhelpful, even harmful, for anyone carrying relational wounding. Parent figures, career, and money Lucy and Louise on the “pseudo-parent” dynamics that show up with employers and coaches (JP Morgan, KPMG, PwC), and the process of individuating out of them. Louise on where her relationship with money still mirrors her dad's, and the ongoing work of noticing where old patterns still resurface. The sister wound Why the sister wound between women can run especially deep, historically and personally, and how simply naming it can soften the shame around feeling scared in rooms of women. The healing that becomes possible once trust and safety are rebuilt between women, and the value of well-curated mixed spaces with conscious men and women together. What relationships are actually for Reframing relationship as a healing container rather than something that should always feel easy: it's there to show us our blind spots. Louise on nearly ending her marriage in 2023, and the coaching conversation that shifted things: leave, and you'll meet these same patterns in the next relationship too.

How to shed the programming, reclaim your soul's mission, and stop waiting for permission to feel alive What does it actually mean to “rewild” yourself? In this episode, Louise sits down with Kim Jarman: counsellor-turned-coach, biohacking nerd, and self-proclaimed rewilding expert, for a conversation that goes deep, fast. Kim shares the raw, unfiltered story of the marriage that nearly broke her, the flood that took her faith, the psych-hospital stay that changed everything, and the Tuesday morning she packed a box and walked out of a job; for the first time ever choosing herself over the rules. From there, she built a life and a business around a single idea: we are domesticated out of who we really are, and getting back to that person is the real work. Louise and Kim trace the parallels between rewilding, sovereignty, and the “witch” archetype, unpack why confidence and self-confidence are not the same thing, and get into the neuroscience and biohacking behind why some people find it so much harder to bet on themselves than others. If you've ever sat at your desk thinking “surely there's more than this,” this one's for you. What You'll Learn Kim's story: a toxic 9-year marriage, a catastrophic flood, a psychiatric hospitalisation, and the day she finally chose herself What “rewilding” actually means and how it applies to humans, not just land and animals The “domestication” of the human soul: how our 0–12 years wire an identity that was never really ours Why school systems, careers, and “safety and security” messaging keep us small, compliant, and disconnected The real difference between confidence and self-confidence and the four components self-confidence is built from How biohacking hormones and neurotransmitters can make rejection resilience and self-belief easier to access Why resistance isn't a character flaw, it's a protection mechanism asking to be understood Kim's Rewilded program, and what she's learning inside Louise's Embodied Transformation Certification About Kim Kim Jarman, MEd is a certified coach the founder of The Sovereign Life and creator of the Rewilded Method, a movement based on freedom & soul's purpose coaching program for career-confused women who did everything "right" and still feel caged by lives built for someone else's purpose. After leaving a nine-year job, moving 700 miles alone, and rebuilding her life from the ground up, Kim now helps women exit the systems they were domesticated for and reclaim their identity, power, and soul's mission. She's the host of the podcast Thrive and Aligned Healing, where she explores what it actually takes to choose brave over stable.

In this episode, Olga Marini joins Louise to talk about the winding path that took her from studying international law in Moscow to qualifying as a solicitor in the UK, into burnout, and out the other side as a yoga instructor who blends movement, breathwork, and honest conversation into something she calls "more than yoga." They dig into what tailored, one-on-one support actually looks like, why burnout can double as an awakening, and how Olga is building safe, held spaces for busy women who are juggling careers, motherhood, and the invisible mental load that comes with both.
