About this listen

 At Love Fools we are hopelessly devoted to exploring and embodying the universal language of love!

Join host Terri Lee-Shield and guests as we talk about what love means to love self, others & life.

On this podcast we chat about how love expresses itself, how to find, keep and develop through love.

We explore all the tangents and aspects love can bring into our lives, with foundations based on finding natural ways to heal, be aligned with our true selves and find authentic love in our lives.

We consider the skills need to communicate, to care and to be present with ourselves and others to embrace and enhance the loving relationships in our lives.

We look at how our live for life can bring a sense of fulfilment, accepting all of the challenges and responsibilities of living equally as much as the beauty and sacred nature of life.

    In this episode I am unpacking the grief process as we use these experiences of loss to evolve and grow to allow more unconditional love into our lives as we heal.

    Grief is a part of life that connects all human experience. As we grow, love and lose we must face the emotional process of grief as we expand ourselves to accommodate our emotional responses to life's challenges. Grief can be an invitation to evolve and to connect more deeply with ourselves and others as we embrace it as an invitation to connect with spirituality and the true nature of love.

    We chat about:
    • What grief is and the process or stages of grieving.
    • Looking at grief as an invitation to grow spiritually.
    • How we can expand our capacity for love as we embrace grief.

    Love School recommends our PDF guide Evolving Through Grief

    This will help you to explore ways to process grief to find healing. Connect with yourself or others as you evolve. Grow spiritually to open yourself to more love through the grieving process.

  • Exploring Love, Healing & Being Alone – Love Fools Episode 28 with Terri Lee-Shield

    Exploring Love, Healing & Being Alone – Love Fools Episode 28 with Terri Lee-Shield
    May 31 2025
    (00:00:00) Exploring Love, Healing & Being Alone – Love Fools Episode 28 with Terri Lee-Shield
    (00:00:32) Introduction
    (00:05:04) Changing When Healing
    (00:07:53) Ending People Pleasing
    (00:11:58) Opportunity of Space
    (00:15:43) Grief & Loneliness

    (00:33:31) Expanding Through Loneliness
    (00:37:57) Healing Attachment Wounds
    (00:42:12) Summary

    In this episode, I am exploring how we can appreciate the space we have when we are alone to heal and the spiritual growth we can gain when learning to love ourselves, others and our circumstances in this period of change.

    Being alone due to circumstances, choices or necessity while healing and growing can lead us to grapple with feelings of loneliness. But through the process, we are invited to find ourselves and embark on a recovery process, building more self-confidence, releasing any relational wounds and building a foundation of a secure attachment style when we are ready or able to reconnect with others again.

    I chat about:
    • The reality of change as we heal.
    • Appreciating the opportunity for space to recover ourselves.
    • The spiritual growth we can achieve through releasing our loneliness and attachment wounds.

    Love School recommends our free PDF guide, Growing Through Loneliness.

    This will help you feel more peace & security while navigating loneliness. Build confidence & a stronger sense of self as you explore your own needs, wants and likes. Learning to appreciate and use the space being alone gives us for healing.

  • Mindfulness & Mind Health for Healing & Recovery with Rachel Jones-Wild - Love Fools Episode 27

    Mindfulness & Mind Health for Healing & Recovery with Rachel Jones-Wild - Love Fools Episode 27
    Mar 15 2025
    Exploring Mindfulness & Mind Health for Healing & Recovery with Rachel Jones-Wild
    Episode 27

    In this Love Fools episode, I am exploring the idea of mindfulness and meditation as a tool for wellness and recovery. Expert Rachel Jones-Wild explains mindfulness and how we can apply it in our lives and demonstrates ways to be more mindful of ourselves and our relationships so we can enjoy more of life.

    We chat about:
    • How we can apply mindfulness techniques and attitudes in our day-to-day life.
    • How mindfulness can help us cultivate more self-love and compassion for others.
    • How we can use mindfulness to heal, forgive and move on from harmful events to enjoy our life more as we cultivate peace.

    Rachel Jones-Wild is a psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and mindfulness practitioner with over 20 years of mindfulness experience.
    As the clinical lead of Mindful Therapies Counselling Service in Newcastle upon Tyne, she has been training therapists, coaches, and other helping professionals in mindfulness since 2015.

    Rachel’s journey into mindfulness began as a teenager, leading her to explore meditation and Buddhist teachings, and later integrating mindfulness into therapy. After qualifying as a therapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor, she founded Mindful Therapies, an organisation dedicated to making mindfulness and therapy accessible to all, regardless of income.

    With a deep passion for supporting practitioners, Rachel teaches mindfulness in a way that is practical, grounded, and free from dogma. She helps professionals overcome imposter syndrome, build confidence in their client work, and develop mindfulness-based skills that enhance both personal resilience and therapeutic effectiveness.

    Rachel also hosts The Cynic’s Guide to Hippy Sh*t, a podcast that takes a curious yet sceptical look at alternative therapies, exploring what works, what doesn’t, and how we can engage with these practices more wholeheartedly.

    Rachel is also sharing a FREE guided visualisation for therapists experiencing imposter syndrome.
