    What if healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what’s always been there? In this episode, Juliet Hollingsworth invites us into a powerful conversation about the body, the nervous system and the ancestral threads that quietly shape who we are.

    Having just returned from a soul-stirring journey through Africa, Juliet shares how connection to land, lineage and simplicity reignited her understanding of true safety and inner rhythm. Through her deeply intuitive work as a hypnotherapist, speaker and founder of The Burrow Farnham, she helps others return to themselves in a world that constantly distracts us from who we truly are.

    This is an episode for anyone craving grounded healing, inner clarity and a deeper sense of belonging to themselves and the wider world.

    In this episode:

    • How Juliet’s time in Africa revealed new layers of ancestral and somatic wisdom
    • The body as a guide for healing and reconnection
    • The power of client-led therapy and what it really looks like in practice
    • Why honouring our roots helps us build safety and agency in the present
    • The creation of The Burrow Farnham as a space for community, rhythm and healing
