Trusting your inner compass with Calypso Barnum-Bobb

On breathwork, belonging + what it means to return to your truth

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.
