Today I’m joined by coach, breathwork practitioner and creative guide for a conversation about returning to your truth, especially in seasons of uncertainty or transition.
We explore what it means to trust your inner compass — to reconnect to your body, reshape your life with integrity and make space to feel and heal.
Calypso shares their own shift from a career in fashion buying into coaching, and how burnout, community and intuition shaped their path. Along the way, they touch on the power of creativity, queer belonging and breathwork as a deeply transformational tool.
This episode is full of honesty, warmth and insight, and a gentle reminder that meaningful change often begins with the smallest step, especially when that step is witnessed in community.
Inside the episode, we explore:
Returning to truth as a cyclical process, not a one-time event
Listening to the body (not just the mind) when navigating change
Why your full potential isn’t the only goal — life potential matters too
The shift towards a values-aligned business and practice
Building queer community through retreat and ritual
One of my favourite moments is Calypso’s reminder that you already know. The voice of truth might be quiet, but it’s there — waiting beneath the noise, beneath the layers, beneath the expectations we’ve outgrown.
No matter where you are, this conversation invites you to trust what’s quietly unfolding.
