• Transforming the Mother Wound with Ju Cordina

  Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Self-love & Expansion Coach Ju Cordina. Ju shares the story of divine intervention, determination and failure that led her to her soul's purpose. We talk about the downward emotional spiral that floored her and how it was her relationship with her mother that prompted her to resurface and delve deep into rewriting her own unconscious behavioural codes. We discuss the 'Mother Wound' or code as Ju prefers to call it, and examine when, if ever, some of us stop blaming our parents for our mistakes and choose to start taking responsibility for our lives. Ju talks about how the laws of Hermetic philosophy have influenced her work and how her latest creation, a prayer group that enables women to honour the wisdom of the soul and the love of the divine came into being. So please join me as look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ju became a self love coach through a mix of divine intervention, determination, and mistakes, evolving from spiritual curiosity through corporate burnout to breakdown and healing. She reframed the idea of the mother wound instead as ‘mother code’ because labelling ourselves as wounded reinforces negativity instead of encouraging healing. Mothers shape our understanding of femininity in two ways: how they treat us directly and how they interact with the world around them. The ‘good girl complex’ shows up as people pleasing and unrealistic standards, coming from childhood attempts to control unstable environments. Healing requires forgiveness, which means seeing our parents as real people with their own struggles and limitations. Becoming a mother herself gave Ju a new perspective, leading her to apologise to her own mother. Ju's prayer group uses hermetic philosophy to offer a non religious approach to connecting with divinity and self love. Ju believes healing starts with spirit rather than human limitations, she believes in seeing challenges as doorways rather than obstacles. BEST MOMENTS "I feel like if I'm being completely honest, it's been a mixture of divine intervention, determination, and probably just a lot of getting it wrong." "A belief is just a thought that you thought so many times it becomes a behaviour. So if we keep saying, I have this mother wound, I need to heal my mother wound, you are literally doing the opposite of what you desire to do." "The difference between the mother code and the father code is that for us, our relationship with our moms is survival... when there is a fracture between us and our mums, our nervous system literally sees it as life or death." "Forgiveness does actually set you free. It makes you feel free because you're not carrying this tie, this energetic tie to something that is such a low vibration that will always keep you, won't allow you to fly." "We are a spirit in a human body, we are not a human with a spirit, you know, spirit comes first." ABOUT THE GUEST Ju is a Self-love & Expansion Coach, Podcaster and a mama of one. Her soul mission is to bring women back to their innate feminine power and wisdom so that they stop playing it small and lead a life they love, on their own terms.

• Your Heart is Your Compass with Lynn of Tropea

  Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined by Spiritual Practitioner and Wellness Leader Lynn of Tropea. From the earliest age Lynn knew she was different, as her voodoo practicing polish gypsy grandmother always told her, she was the child chosen to carry her family's spiritual lineage. Lynn discusses the seminal influence of her grandparents on her life and work, as we explore the connection between physical and emotional health, how to follow your inner compass and what we can learn from astro-cartography. Lynn also shares her own incredible journey of trust from Texas to Tropea. So please join me as look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Lynn's unique upbringing as the chosen spiritual heir in her family taught her to embrace her differences and trust her intuitive abilities from an early age, setting the foundation for her future work in spiritual wellness. Through her own journey of healing from severe physical illness following emotional trauma, Lynn discovered the profound connection between emotional and physical health, leading to her development of innovative healing ceremonies. Her work at Miraval helped her bridge the gap between traditional spiritual practices and modern wellness, ultimately serving high profile clients while maintaining the authenticity of ancient healing modalities. Using astrocartography, Lynn discovered her soul's destiny line runs directly through Tropea, confirming her intuitive decision to relocate to Italy during the pandemic. Her approach to helping women find fulfilment focuses on creating individual identity within existing life structures rather than advocating for dramatic life changes. Lynn's experience with astrology and geographical energy lines demonstrates how external tools can serve as affirmations for internal knowing and guidance. Her transition from Texas to Italy shows how following one's heart compass can override obstacles, even during challenging circumstances. The integration of multiple spiritual modalities in her practice, from Hinduism to shamanic techniques, allows her to meet clients at their level of spiritual readiness and understanding. BEST MOMENTS "Your heart is your compass on earth. If you don't know where to go, close your eyes, close your ears, close your mouth and go into your heart because that's where you're supposed to live from." "The universe will override mankind, it will put the right people in place to assist you on your journey. So when you get that perception of fear that no, you're not going to make it because of human stuff, just take out the human stuff." "Everything that you feel and that you seek is meant to be a part of your external reality, but you have to have the faith and the belief that you are worthy." "I always knew I was born in the wrong country. I spoke those words from the beginning of my life. I was like, I don't know what America is, but it is not my country." "We can study everything externally, all we want, but in the end, when we're taking our last breath in life, we close our eyes." ABOUT THE GUEST Lynn is a lifelong Spiritual Practitioner and Wellness Leader with over 14 years of experience in the industry. Returning to her spiritual lineage through her Grandmother’s teachings, she provides guidance by navigating internal desires and creating pathways to those desires in external reality. With a background in the 8-limbed path of yoga, a five-year self-study on emotional body cleansing with Hindi priests in Malibu, CA and as a student of Shamanism, Taoism, Catholicism, and Buddhism from world-renowned teachers Lynn encompasses all major religions and spiritual practices as one. Recently Lynn has expanded her services into astrology and astrocartography, after discovering her soul map (natal chart) in 2019, which lead her to the life of her dreams in Tropea, Italy, and is currently writing an inspirational book about her journey.

Angela openly shares her own incredible story of transformation, from fleeing a home of violence and domestic abuse as a young child with her mother, to teenage pregnancy and then a distinguished thirty year career as a corporate finance lawyer. Angela talks about imposter syndrome, 16 hour work days and the eventual feelings of being unfulfilled that were her catalyst for change.

• Moving into the 5th Dimension with Catherine Keattch

  Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined once again by creator of vibrational essences, essence practitioner, energy healer, spiritual explorer and co-director at Crystal Herbs Ltd, the incredible Catherine Keattch. In this episode we discuss the notion that whether we like it or not, we are, on a global and personal level, beginning to move towards a process of deep change. Catherine explains the changes that will occur as the earth enters this new phase of expansion, moving us collectively out of the disconnected dysfunctional patterning of the 3rd dimension to the higher consciousness of the 5th, and what that means for us in our day to day lives. We also explore how the vibrational frequency of fear is used to control people, and how our true personal power lies in choice. So please join me as look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Catherine explains that humanity is experiencing a shift from third-dimensional polarity consciousness (right/wrong, conflict-based) to fifth-dimensional unity consciousness, marking the largest expansion of human awareness in recent history. She emphasises that personal power lies in choice rather than control, the need for control is rooted in fear, which operates at a specific vibrational frequency often used to manipulate collective behaviour. True lasting change comes from inner transformation and heart connection, not external resolutions. Catherine stresses this requires acknowledging and releasing old patterns, beliefs, and programming that no longer serve us. Catherine observes that the universe responds exactly to the vibrational frequency we emit. She explains that if we hold thoughts of lack or unworthiness, we'll continue creating those experiences until we consciously change our internal programming. Current global chaos is a symptom of old systems and beliefs breaking down as humanity transitions to a higher frequency. Catherine says this process requires individual inner work rather than waiting for external change. She teaches that emotional pain and defensive patterns must be acknowledged and released for transformation to happen. This process is simple but not easy, requiring us to face stored trauma and limiting beliefs. Personal transformation requires grounding in self rather than external reference points, using heart based wisdom instead of relying solely on the limited perspective of the everyday mind. BEST MOMENTS "If you wanted to control people or humanity, all you've got to do is vibrate something in the world that vibrates at fear. And if you're not conscious of what's happening, it sets off your fear and you contract down into this place of fear and then you're controllable." "If you're holding onto a thought form that says I'm not good enough or I can't do it, that's what you're creating all the time. The universe is absolutely exact." "Your everyday mind does not have the capacity or the data bank to be able to understand all of what that bigger picture is, it hasn't got the information your heart has." "We've been programmed to seek our information from the everyday mind and the outside rather than turning inside and feeling it in our heart and in our gut." "I think people are so wedded to the old because the old is familiar and because the old is safe." ABOUT THE GUEST Catherine Keattch is a creator of vibrational essences, an essence practitioner, energy healer, teacher, spiritual explorer, and workshop leader. She is co-director at Crystal Herbs Ltd which produces a very wide range of vibrational essences ranging from Bach Flower Remedies to very deep acting combinations of flower & crystal/gem essences designed to help us negotiate the current times of transformation with greater ease and understanding. Catherine is currently focussed on providing resources that will support people to successfully negotiate the current times of transformation as we transition from a third dimensional reality into a fifth dimensional one. As we have all discovered, this involves a substantial leap in consciousness, a good deal of clearing, and an uplift in vibrational frequencies, all things that vibrational essences are excellent at providing support with.

• Entering the Golden Timeline with Marie Fleming Grant

  Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. Today I'm joined once again by Ascension Guide, Direct Channel, Activator and author the wonderful Marie Fleming Grant. In this episode we talk about the wave of activations and awakenings that people are experiencing globally, as humanity engages with a huge planetary shift which first began in 2020. Marie also explains the timeline shift which has set the planet on an ascended course, and offers advice on how to navigate this evolutionary transit. So please join me as look at life through a different lens. KEY TAKEAWAYS Marie reveals that humanity has shifted onto what she calls "the golden timeline," moving away from a potentially dystopian future toward an inevitably positive outcome, despite current global challenges. She shares that the chaos and upheaval we're currently witnessing is actually a necessary part of the awakening process, like a wrecking ball clearing space for something beautiful to be built. Right now people are experiencing waves of activation and awakening, particularly in recent months, as more individuals begin to question mainstream narratives and think critically. According to Marie, everyone is making an impact on the planet's evolution, even during sleep, and viral social media success isn't a measure of one's contribution to the collective awakening. She discusses how the programming we've received since birth is being challenged and dismantled, allowing people to rediscover their authentic selves and true potential. Marie shares that 2025 will bring continued awakenings, with different people awakening at different paces and through various catalysts. She describes channelling as a natural process that everyone does to some degree, whether through artistic expression or intuitive guidance. While more light is entering the planet, this creates a push-pull dynamic with heavy energies, which explains the current global tensions. BEST MOMENTS "We've shifted onto a different alternate timeline... we're on a golden timeline. The golden timeline means that we are headed for a very wonderful future for humanity. We are set on course. It's inevitable." "You're doing a lot on the planet, even when you're asleep... just by breathing, just by how you think, how you're operating in the world, it's so impactful." "Sometimes the thing that you're really holding at bay, you're very fearful of, could be the very thing you're actually here to do." "For some people it will be more traumatic... like everything's being ripped open. And for other people it'll be more of a soft kind of general awakening." ABOUT THE GUEST Marie is a Direct Channel, Ascension Guide & Activator, who works with Leaders, Healers, Impact Makers, Conscious Business Owners, Visionary CEO's & Entrepreneurs, and those here on their Mission to assist the collective shift. Marie is also an Author, Founder of 'The Awake Revolution' and creator of 'High Level Channel International Training Academy.' She guides and activates people to drop the old paradigms in life, business & mission, wake up to who they really are, and revolutionise how they think, feel, live and create, to be all of who they came here to be.
