The following applies to all that I share, be it: YT videos. Video or face-face retreats. 1-1 sessions. Meditations. Blog posts… Deep listening will assist your journey greatly and help you to gain the best from what I share. Take a deep breath here if you need to. Firstly, when coming to the resources to browse new & previously shared content, remember that you are here to make a deep commitment to yourself. Try to choose times when you will not be disturbed. I’m going to as

Hey babe, Look at you. Where you are. Even though you experienced real hardship in childhood. Even though the odds were stacked against you. Even though you didn’t always have people around you who knew how to love, guide or protect you in the ways you needed. Even though you were conditioned by people who had been conditioned before you. Even though you made some absolute whopper errors along the way ~ because in those moments, you simply couldn’t see what you couldn’t yet s

This is a common thing I hear. "I cant meditate." “My mind is too busy.” “I can’t switch my thoughts off.” “I can’t relax.” “Meditation just isn’t for me.” If you’ve ever thought this, you’re certainly not alone. The truth is, many of us have been given a completely mistaken idea of what meditation is. We’ve been led to believe that meditation means stopping our thoughts, emptying the mind, or instantly feeling calm and peaceful. So we sit down, our mind carries on doing what

There is a difference between being childlike and remaining an emotional child. One is natural. The other is born from survival. When a child grows up in an environment where they feel emotionally safe, something extraordinary happens without them even trying. They slowly develop a deep inner knowing that life can be trusted. That emotions can be felt and move through. That mistakes don’t make them unlovable. That conflict doesn’t mean abandonment. That they matter simply bec

One of the most beautiful, yet perhaps confusing, realisations is this: Nothing has ever gone wrong. The mind may object to this fact. It will search through the past for evidence that this can’t possibly be true. It will point to moments it labels as mistakes, missed opportunities or wrong decisions. But notice something. Where is the past? Not as a thought. Not as a memory. Can you actually find it? Or is there only this moment, with thoughts and images appearing within it?

Thank you for your beautiful feedback Maryanne ~ It says it all. "After just 5 weeks of 1-1 sessions with Jolene, I feel I have now found the remedy to years of anxiety, panic attacks, overthinking and pain and it is simpler than I could ever have known. At the start of my video calls with Jolene, I was confused as to how just listening to what she was saying could help and also why the same guidance was continually repeated. I can honestly say I almost gave up and was thinki

One of the most common things I hear from people is this: “I thought I’d got this… then the struggle came back really strongly and now I feel like I’m back to square one.” It feels convincing. It feels true. But it isn’t. Because every time the struggle rises and you meet it, something is happening beneath the surface, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Think about learning to drive. The first time you pull onto a busy road your whole body tenses. Your heart races. You overthin

There are mornings when you wake and, before your eyes have even fully opened, it’s there. The racing heart. The tight chest. The wave of panic. It can feel as though something terrible is happening. Or about to happen. Almost instantly, the thoughts begin pulling you in every direction. “What’s wrong?” “What if this doesn’t stop?” “I can’t cope with this.” The mind desperately searches for a reason. It wants to fix it. Escape it. Get rid of it. But what if, just for a moment

There is often a misconception that on recognising this relief or peace within and experiencing clarity that we won’t or more-so shouldn’t become lost in pain or confusion again. The way I explain this is in using the inner child. ~ Take a moment now to imagine that there was a knock at your front door. You open it and standing there is a very younger version of you. Take a moment ~ how old is this younger version of you standing here in front of you. ~ You notice they are in

When we tap into the natural flow state, life’s ups and downs become more like bobbing on the water’s surface than mighty waves crashing against us. This takes a gentle, dedicated practice, trusting that nothing is of higher priority. Eventually, the practice falls away and life simply flows. The emotions that arise become smoother, lighter, more joyful and loving, regardless of what the outer world or its circumstances look like. Let go of timeframes, of striving to achieve

Play with the children. Stroke the animal. Kiss your lover. Smell the flower. Be with the emotions. Smile at the stranger. Laugh at the mess. Listen to your relative. Enjoy the process. Love it all. Whatever you do, do it with full present-moment awareness. Notice that the goal is already done 🎯 Notice that it is already here. Notice that you are living. Notice that this is it. Notice that focusing on a future achievement in the hope that finally, finally! this will make thi

I am not a teacher and I don’t offer advice. So what am I? I am You my friend. A reflection, a mirror, a reminder. Plus simply another human being sharing from lived experience. At times, people will reach out to me with questions or confusion and then will pull away from commitment telling me they don’t need this. Of course you absolutely don’t need me. However, life doesn’t stop once we recognise something deeper. Relationships, emotions, work, family, and everyday challeng
