Our lovely guest Suzanne Suthers, a stylist and professional colour analyst joins us for this episode where we explore the role of style in how we dress and present ourselves to the world. Suzanne spent several years in fashion retail but realised that she wanted to help clients further, so she trained to be a stylist with a leading image consultancy. For the last 16 years, she has been enjoying helping clients to discover and fine tune their own style to enable them to look and feel fabulous and confident whilst remaining comfortable and authentic.

She explains her passion is helping women over 50 who are facing changes in their bodies to look and feel good about themselves again. So we were super lucky to receive some expert advice on how to brighten up our wardrobes to lift our mood, become more visible and feel confident.

We learn how we all have at least 30 colours that suit us best individually, our skin tone, eyes and even our hair. In our colour palettes, we can put together a capsule wardrobe and it even spreads to make up and glasses! Suzanne tells us at least 10 colours will give you the wow factor and these can really make you feel special.

Suzanne loves watching her clients leave a session feeling more confident and with greater clothing options and knowledge on how to work with what suits you best for that extra sparkle. She shares such an interesting insight, that in near death experiences, people often see themselves as beings made of light – so she says we are definitely not here to dampen ourselves down with dull colours - but to shine!

Suzanne loves to remind people that they can express their true selves whatever age they are. Her energy as a stylist is nurturing and comforting for clients who are having a bit of an identity crisis with regards to their image, so is able to work really well with clients that feel vulnerable about their bodies. And on that note - we talk about body shape and how we can learn to accept ourselves even in the face of our insecurities - which lets face it, we all have to differing degrees. And find out that Sibby has a heart-shaped face whilst Sally is oval. Well, there you go - we won’t get into the pears and apples!

We chat with the wonderful Jackie Frith, who is passionate about guiding women through the fundamentals of manifesting. With straightforward, step by step strategies, Jackie empowers people to move from feeling lost at the beginning of their manifesting journey to becoming super confident and clear about their direction. Jackie shares with us during this episode, how she first had a taste of a spiritual awakening back in 2004, following a car accident where despite writing the car off, Jackie was left completely unharmed. This was the start of her journey into the Law of Attraction, Angels and working with Spirit.

From non-believer to teacher Jackie now uses her skills and experiences to help others with her soul-based work and believes what we think is what we bring into our lives. Jackie identifies the importance of focusing on how you want to feel and not the material things – it's about manifesting the life you want to lead, rather than the material elements.

We discuss divine timing, and how things arrive when they are meant to. Jackie believes that one of her own life lessons is to learn patience and to let go of lack – because lack is a low vibration and prevents manifesting. She reminds us that we are always manifesting and that we will always experience challenges: it's how we deal with those challenges that matters. Sometimes there is a reason behind the challenge that we cannot see. Jackie speaks of the sub-conscious mind and how it is in charge 95% of the time. It’s about working with the sub-conscious to change our limiting beliefs.

Jackie reminds us that it can be challenging to change our thoughts, and it may not happen overnight. We are looking at changing long-term beliefs, which could be from childhood, or generational or even ancestral. She shares her views about Source energy and our higher self – that we are all God and co-creators of our lives, and God is within us. The more we connect to that part of us, the more chance we can heal.

Erin Kirby joins us to talk about the whispers of her soul that took her from working as a paralegal to studying Reiki and other energy modalities to help herself and eventually others feel empowered and transmute energy to avoid burnout.

Erin also shares a dramatic spiritual experience she had one evening on her way to a Reiki treatment. She noticed that, the streetlights began to turn off as she passed them, as did lights in the buildings and the Christmas lights! She later discovered it was she herself making that happen: the energy from her emotions was causing a ‘brown out’ as she describes it, not quite a black out! She noticed other instances where crystals would spin when she got near to them and payment systems wouldn’t work. Most of the time in the spiritual world, we put this phenomena down to spirits and don’t appreciate our own energetic signature - especially when we are dealing with or carrying unprocessed powerful emotions.

Erin also shares her favourite crystals to work with as an Empath and energy sensitive and how EFT changed her life for the better!
