You don't need a crisis to start listening to yourself.
Sometimes the same question keeps coming back, even when life is pretty good.
This podcast is an invitation to get curious about your own life. Because sometimes it's only when we look back that we begin to see how the choices we made, the people we met and the experiences we had shaped who we are today.
listen to it all matters
Every chapter of your life is connected somehow.
But how?
Three short episodes and a bonus. Listen in order, at your own pace.
Episode 1 - The Life That Looks Fine - 14 min
A village hockey girl takes the train to Amsterdam to see the school her heart is set on. She never goes inside.
Episode 2 - What You Don't Heal, You Pass On - 11 min
A hotel room in Lisbon, a nine-month-old baby, no language and no manual. Then fifteen years of starting again, in Portugal, Brazil and Australia.
Episode 3 - Learning to Listen Again - 19 min
A bear in a cage, a teenage son who says "Mum, just listen" and a family rule about staying small that turned out to have a history.
Bonus - Trusting What I Know - 18 min
The part I usually leave out: my spiritual side, and learning to trust what I know even when I can't explain it.
No five steps, no plan. Just a story, and maybe a little more curiosity about your own.
"I just happened to come across it… I related to quite a lot. Up until the third episode I was just enjoying the personal story. But when it got to the third one, I got a bit more excited, because I thought: oh, what's this?" — A listener
listen to it all mattersHi, I'm Louise.
I've worked as a therapist for more than twenty-five years, combining psychology with body and energy work.
If there's one thing I've learned, in my own life and in twenty-five years of sitting with other women, it's this:
The question was never whether I could handle it. I usually can. It's what it costs me when I do.
It All Matters is the first time I'm sharing this much of my own story.
I'm sharing it because sometimes hearing someone else's story makes us curious about our own. Not because their answers are ours, but because we may begin to notice things we hadn't noticed before.
“The difference is that now I know AND feel it. That is the power of your way of working.”
— Helen, on working with Louise
listen to it all mattersYou deserve to hear your own voice again.
You've spent a long time making room for what everyone else needs, expects or thinks.
It's time to hear what you want, need and know too.
