HeartWriting

This is one of the most handy podcasts I've made – and the most real. This is how my life looks every day. One thing I haven't spoken about here is the adjustment to working from home and the loneliness inherent in working from a laptop. I wish I had talked about this more – but The Heart Writing Handbook does cover this. 

And these days I LOVE working from home. I LOVE creating my own life every day. I'm SO much better at staying ...

My final words for the year, as we wave goodbye to the year of the Wood Snake, and all the hardship and shedding that came with it. 

I propose a year of HAPPINESS ahead. In the podcast I talk about the themes of the upcoming retreats, my personal revelations about happiness, and its links to creativity.

Do we want to stay stuck and jaded in grief and anger cycles that continue to fuel hatred...

Or do we want to choose a happier, he...

I teach writing courses online, plus international and Australian writin...

In this episode, Rose Mascaro talks with Katie Rose — founder of Bhakti Rose and author of Yoni Codes — about merging technology with creativity and heart-led business. They share candidly about writing from the heart, while also using AI as a tool for business and writing. Learn about the pitfalls of outsourcing your voice, and how to use modern tools like ChatGPT without losing your soul.

Today I felt called to record a meditation while in the middle of the forest. Here it is. 

The sun shone on my face and I could finally feel my heart opening after a particularly cold and cocoon-like winter. Spirit connected with me, and this meditation (for creatives) spilled out. 

It feels nice to connect with you all again after a couple of months off. Let me know how you go in the meditation: I'd love to hear from you. You've a...

In this episode, I reflect on the first ever HeartWriting Retreat held in Ubud, Bali — thirteen women, four days, a jungle full of rain, and something sacred we couldn’t have planned if we tried.

I take you behind the scenes: from the Agni Hotra fire ceremony where we cracked coconuts (and our egos) wide open, to the Shamanic healing workshops where women wrote the truest sentences of their lives, to the sound healing session where...

In this spontaneous travel episode, I’m coming to you from my princess bed in Ubud, Bali – surrounded by jungle sounds, mosquito nets, and the soft swirl of pre-retreat solitude. This is my little “retreat before the retreat,” and after weeks (okay, months) of go-go-go, I’m finally landing in myself, in the truth of what it means to be a writer who’s also very human.

I share a few raw reflections about the pressures we put on ourse...

In this heart-to-heart episode, I’m reflecting on what it’s really been like in the week after publishing The Heart Writing Handbook. From glamorous photoshoots to facing fears, from hitting #1 on Amazon to holding the book in my hands – it’s been a wild, beautiful ride.

I share the moment I realised how long I’d been sabotaging myself – not out of fear of failure, but fear of success. And how finally stepping up to celebrate mysel...

I just got off the phone with my publisher. The cover is done. Typesetting is about to begin. The Heart Writing Handbook is finally, officially, becoming real.

But it didn’t happen the way I imagined.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of what it really looks like to birth a book – the mess, the magic, and the moments of surrender. I share how the final stages of this publishing journey have asked me to let go of control...

True authenticity begins with embracing imperfection. Silence can sometimes be the loudest form of communication. And great writing often leaves room for the reader’s own experience to breathe.

In a world obsessed with polish and perfection, what if the most compelling thing a writer – or a creator of any kind – can do is to let the audience feel the realness? That means leaving in the pauses, the breath...

What if writing wasn’t just about words on a page, but a portal to your deepest truths? In this episode of The HeartWriting Podcast, we explore the profound connection between storytelling, deep listening, and spiritual healing. I share my journey with plant medicine, truth, and the process of unearthing the authentic voice within.

Whether you’re an aspiring writer, a seeker, or someone yearning to expre...

Tara Brach fans will recognise the famous R.A.I.N. meditation that I use (with acknowledgement) in this podcast. This is actually an extract from a recent HeartWriting class I conducted with my advanced students who needed a relaxation after some challenging times in their personal lives and in their writing. 

In the background you will hear binaural beats of the theta brainwave which I have mixed into the audio for deep relaxation...

When I was in the middle of ‘waking up’ from a difficult time, I recorded a beautiful affirmations tape for myself –and all creatives. It was a combination of statements I needed to hear, as well as affirmations my students requested. I’ve since shared it with all my students to help them free-fall into their ultimate HeartWriting dreams. Writers, creatives, lovers – it's time to fall into the deliciousness of the life you deserve.
