Trust and Transform: the Your Inner Room podcast with Helen Joy Butler

The past week has been another huge week for me, with lots of decisions having to be made for elderly relatives who live four hours away. It wasn't easy - and in part we had to rely on the kindness of strangers - but the learnings through the decisions we made AND more importantly how we tackled them was where the greatest gifts lay.

In this episode I share 

I've been having JEF Gatherings for at least the past two years and I love them! 

They're a place I can celebrate and share, heal and support, be vulnerable and hold space. My life has completely changed thanks to these gatherings, and for that I'll be forever grateful.

So what is a JEF Gathering? Why would you want them in your life? And what does JEF stand for anyway? Listen in to find out!

Remember a few weeks ago I said the podcast was taking a pause and I didn't know when it would be back?

This morning I was walking Elvis and my Spirit Team dropped in and said "share your journey with anxiety these past few weeks - today".

Right ... OK ...

So after dropping Elvis at the groomer I came straight home and recorded this new (Season 3?) episode - My journey with anxiety over the past few weeks and what I did to get back in my body.

In it I share a little about what's happened, the practitioners who have helped me and the three daily / moment by moment self-care practices that are helping to bring me back into my body.

What's pausing got to do with living your intentions and achieving your goals (not someone else's!)?

We're not often encouraged to pause, to take time out and 'smell the roses'. In fact, the 'need' to achieve, to tick the boxes, to achieve goals (whether they're ours or not) is so ingrained in us it can be extremely difficult to press the pause button for even a moment!

But what if - by pressing the pause button - you were able to get complete clarity on your goals through a deep understanding of your intentions? And in turn gifted your time, energy and focus to what really matters to you?

In this episode I invite you to consider your life intentions and current goals, whether they're really aligned with your truth and, in turn, whether they're the right place for you to spend your time, energy and focus. There's a visualisation to help you set aside goals that don't feel aligned, to support you to connect with your personal intentions, as well as my current intentions and goals and how I know they're right for me.

Enjoy!

Today we welcome the beautiful Ros Isbel from Find Your Natural Groove to the Trust and Transform podcast!   

Ros is a Human Design specialist who lives in Melbourne Australia with her partner and daughter. Through her work Ros helps you know your magical Human Design by shifting your understanding of the past and bringing you into a new kind of present.  

Ros started her Human Design journey in early 2016 after being introduced to it by a friend. Within a few months she was totally and absolutely hooked and for close to two years straight listened to, read, watched, took classes, and absorbed everything Human Design.  

It’s given Ros the certainty she pined for and struggled to find all of her life, and it’s now her mission to bring its brilliance to you.  

In this conversation Ros and I talk about how Human Design came about, the different ‘types’ and what that actually means; the depth and layering within Human Design and how it can support us to transform our lives; powerful shifts and changes she’s seen in the lives of her clients; what Channelling has to do with it; what her Inner Room looks and feels like, and much more.

A conference and a drumming singing circle. 

Two very different containers, two very different experiences, two very different opportunities to learn the importance of where I spend my time, energy and focus.

After reflecting on everything that happened at both events, and re-listening to last week's episode, I've set us a challenge! 

To curate our time, energy and focus, in the hope of creating - or at the very least stepping closer! - to the transformation we want in our lives

The great thing is you don't actually need to know what you want - you just need to curate (starting today!) and trust the Universe is working with you to create the transformation you desire.

Listen in to find out what this looks like for me, and perhaps you too!

Today we welcome the beautiful Kendall Williams from Heart Hive to the Trust and Transform podcast!

In this conversation Kendall and I talk about what it means to invest where you’re celebrated, our near death experiences and the course correction they made in our lives, the importance of good trade relations with other kingdoms (and what that even means!), the essence of her Inner Room, self responsibility, and so much more!

Sanctuary Chat with Kendall Williams, Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality podcast 

Since my podcast conversation last week I've been thinking a lot about the concept of realignment - and more specifically, the areas of our lives inhibiting, reducing and / or preventing alignment in the truest sense of the word.

And this got me asking myself questions such as

Asking these questions sent out an invitation to my Spirit team, who happily stepped in and shared some answers with me - this is what you'll find in this episode!

Today we welcome the beautiful Vari McKechnie to the Trust and Transform podcast!  

Vari's a mentor, coach and wayfinder for folks who are ready to leave behind what is good and move towards more of what is great.  

In her early 30's Vari found herself in the perfect life - the exact life she'd planned for and had executed with precision. 

All this… and Vari was the loneliest and unhappiest she'd ever felt.  

It was an overwhelming and confronting time, where Vari tried to convince herself that it was just a phase - that she simply needed to get her gratitude journal out and be more appreciative.  

Yet she felt anything but.  

In this conversation Vari shares her Scottish background and what led her to calling Australia home; the seasons of your life and how they guide you toward your own realignment; stepping away from alcohol and the unexpected gifts it brought her; that you don't have to wait until you've hit rockbottom to start your own realignment process, and much more.

Do you feel nourishing, authentic, delicious in the clothes you wear? 

Do they help you feel high vibe, give you the energy of an old sack of potatoes, or anything and everything in between? 

And most importantly, what have clothes got to do with trust, transformation and energetically decluttering Your Inner Room?

Today we welcome Susan Pearse and her new / hot off the press book 'Spiritually Loose' to the Trust and Transform podcast!

Susan is a best selling author and leadership expert who is passionate about Conscious Leadership, training businesses to think differently, inspiring people to connect to their own wisdom and encouraging everyone to find their authentic path.  

She co-founded two companies early in her career, Reinvention and Mind Gardener, and has become a powerful voice for banning busyness, paying attention to what matters most and “presence” as the core skill for dealing with the modern world’s high degree of complexity and uncertainty.  

In Spiritually Loose Susan shares her search for more, including rave parties in Ibiza, to jazz bars in New York; from lectures on quantum physics in Italy, to classes on philosophy in Australia; from traditional hula dancing in Hawaii, to qualifying as a Kundalini yoga teacher in Spain. Instead of finding answers, Susan found rules. Instead of joy, she found judgement. Once Susan stopped looking outside and listening to the gurus, she realised there was a voice inside her, present from childhood, whispering quiet messages of love, acceptance and joy.  

Spiritually Loose is an antidote for the modern-world diseases of emptiness, regret and disappointment. It’s a revolution that says it’s ok to be spiritual and loose, humble and confident, reverent and cheeky, patient and intolerant, brave and vulnerable, deep and superficial. Above all, it’s a reminder that it’s perfect to just be you.

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Trust and Transform podcast!

In this episode I share the transformation the podcast is taking this season - I hope you love it as much as I do! 

I also dive in with a lucid dream I've had for years, what happened when it popped up in my sleep again last week, and how I've learnt to follow its message for faster transformation in my own life!

Enjoy!

How do People and Place and the Three S's - Self, Space and Source - relate to Your Inner Room? And why should you care anyway?

In this episode we remind ourselves of the Trinity of the Three S's, and dive deeply with the interconnectedness of People and Place and what the five of them have to do with Your Inner Room journey.

There's a lot here - I hope I haven't bombarded you! 

The cycle that sustains your journey back to Self is ongoing, and is one I use to this day. 

What I share with you in this episode supports me to arrive back home to myself, grounded in my truth and with a deep connection to Spirit, as I continue on my Inner Room journey.

I’ve always had a fascination with the inner - but it may not be the ‘inner’ you think.

Yes I love visiting homes - physically as an ex-Professional Organiser and lover of all things interior, and energetically as a Space Clearer - to help women step more into the flow of their life.

But the ‘inner’ I’m most interested in is Your Inner Room.

The one that lives inside you, that holds all your secrets, desires, love, grief, trauma, dreams and more.

An ‘inner’ which, once energetically decluttered, gifts you the opportunity to step out of the shadows and into the light of your life.

Let's explore this in today's episode!

Gorgeous one, welcome to Trust And Transform: the Your Inner Room podcast with me, your hostess, Helen Joy Butler.

You may have connected with me through the Musings on Sanctuary and Spirituality podcast or you may be entirely new to my world. Please know that I feel so honoured to have you here on the journey with me; to trust yourself to create the transformation you’ve been looking for all these years.

In this episode I share with you how this podcast came into being, my journey toward trust and transformation in my own life, the role Spirit played in it all, and what you can expect from the Trust and Transform podcast moving forward.
