Lighthearted, open discussions with Tre and Holly about life and experiences and how these might affect their relationship with God or the universe or what God means to them. Guests are invited to share their stories relating to spiritual journeys and how through mishaps - and sometimes mayhem - their spiritual relationships are stretched, lost or defined. This podcast is thought provoking and heart warming. The perfect way to spend a relaxing 30 mins (or an hour if we just can't stop chatting).
Listener Question : God, Hormones & the Female Experience
This week our podcast friend Sandy joins Holly and Tre in the summer house to tackle a brilliant listener question from Abby:
“When I feel particularly close to God at certain points in my cycle, is that God… or is it my hormones?”
And from there comes an even bigger question: have women been given the raw deal?
Periods, hormones, childbirth, menopause… is the female body badly designed, or have we perhaps misunderstood some of its rhythms?
Our conversation takes us from hormones and the rhythms of women's bodies to the feminine imagery of God, women in scripture, Mary, the Holy Spirit and whether we've inherited an overwhelmingly male picture of a God who is neither male nor female.
We don't arrive at a neat theological answer.
Instead, three women sit in a summer house and wonder whether our bodies, emotions and spirituality might be rather more connected than we sometimes allow them to be.
And perhaps we could all be a little more “blooming kinder to ourselves.”

A little note about our sound: Ladies in Pyjamas is very much a homemade podcast. We record all our conversations together, in person, usually from Tre's lounge or our trusty summer house, rather than remotely or in a studio. This keeps our conversations natural and relaxed, although it does mean the sound can occasionally vary a little. We hope you'll forgive the odd wobble and enjoy being part of the conversation with us.

Reflections : Perhaps Everything We Need Is Already There
After two fascinating conversations with Sue Elliston, Holly and Tre sit down together to reflect on what they took away from her spiritual practices.
Why do ancient practices such as silence, repetition, gratitude, prayer and spending time in nature sound so similar to the grounding and mindfulness techniques we hear about today?
Are we constantly searching for new ways to cope with modern life when some of the wisdom we need has been there all along?
We talk about why simple practices are not always easy, how spirituality can be explored outside church, and whether creating just a few quiet moments in the day might help us feel more grounded and connected.
We also congratulate Sue on completing her Cambridge MSt in Building History, and look ahead to next week, when our podcast friend Sandy Cordy joins us to answer a listener’s question.

Spiritual Journey's of Ordinary People - Sue Elliston Part 2
In Part Two of Sue Elliston’s spiritual journey, we explore what faith looks like in everyday practice.
Sue shares how prayer in the woods, Communion, contemplative silence and a regular rhythm of morning and evening prayer help her feel grounded and connected.
We talk about whether prayer needs special words or rituals, the power of simply turning up for five minutes, and why Sue returns to love, kindness and compassion whenever faith becomes complicated.
Can walking, silence or gratitude become a spiritual practice? And what changes when we make space to listen?
Join Holly, Tre and Sue for another warm and thoughtful conversation about spirituality in ordinary life.
