Episode 14: Discover Your Archetype: How 5 Elements Help You Understand Yourself with Carey Davidson
What if the key to better communication, deeper compassion, and lasting connection started with truly understanding yourself?
In this episode of Head to Heart Living, I sit down with Carey Davidson — author of The Five Archetypes — to explore how ancient wisdom can help us navigate modern life. Carey shares how the five elements from Chinese medicine (Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood) show up in our behaviours, emotions, and relationships.
We talk about how this work supports us in becoming more self-aware, more accepting of others, and more emotionally resilient — whether you’re dealing with conflict at work, tension at home, or just want to know why you react the way you do.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep getting stuck in this pattern?” — this one’s for you.
-Discover your core archetype
-Learn how each type reacts under stress
-Shift from frustration to understanding
Then...
• How ancient wisdom systems offer solutions modern psychology often misses
• Understanding the five archetypes: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood
• Why we get stuck in the same patterns and how to break free
• Practical ways to balance your dominant archetype

Episode 8: You Got To Hear This - Healing Your Relationship With Money
Heart of the Rose is a festival to honour the way of the Heart, the wild Mysteries of the Feminine, and the Feminine Path to Awakening.
I felt compelled when I first heard about the Heart of the Rose Festival. My middle name is Rosie after my Mum and the Rose lineage and spirit has been a powerful ally in my work and deep connection to my ancestors and especially since my Mum died.
As women have a different journey with the money I am particularly grateful to be holding this on such a beautiful deer park on a ley line with a gathering of the divine feminine change makers.

Episode 7: GOD: why are we leaving them out of spirituality?
Why are we uncomfortable talking about God in Spiritual circles? I noticed it in myself for years when I was an atheist, then agnostic, then Buddhist. I see an avoidance of talking about the Soul in yoga communities, and I ask why? For me God is consciousness that created all this, all of it, the more I understand that, and have gratitude for being part of it (even with the tough, truly gritty parts), I feel a much deeper connection to my Soul and who I really am, beyond the body.
What about you, what is your relationship with God?

Episode 6: Menopause: understanding it spiritually with Caroline Carey
The menopause is often feared, resented and nearly always misunderstood. Growing up in the UK, as the daughter of a mum of the 60's my experience of understanding the rites of passage of the womb, was nonexistent. I saw my bleed 'as the curse' and had the pill promoted to me from a very early age. My own journey of heating the damage pharmaceuticals had down and a4 year journey to recover my cycle lead me in a deep and vulnerable journey of connecting with my womb.
I am delighted that path has led me to Caroline Carey and all her work around women, our archetypes and spirituality grounded in the everyday.
Hear us discuss the menopause, the balancing of the masculine and feminine, the need to heal, and our stories of our journey's with discovering the preciousness of our wombs and what creative power they hold.

Episode 5: Ceremonial grade cacao is changing the world: how what you buy makes a difference
There is a huge lack narrative being promoted around the world at the moment and it's generating a lot of fear and poverty consciousness. If we only look at the leaves falling from the tree, we don't understand that letting go and releasing is part of the neutral order in order to receive more. If we contract and freeze, we aren't able to participate in the natural cycle of this abundant planet.When fear and resignation is in the air, Gavin Kendrick and I talk about the amazing, healing plant medicine, ceremonial grade cacao, and how your relationship with this amazing drink is helping maintain indigenous wisdom in Peru, so the shaman don't have to become Uber drivers to survive, and fund permaculture training in Kenya, so families don't need to clean hotels of 15p an hour but can live off their own land in abundance. This is the perfect time to realign your relationship with money, realise how wealthy really are, and how you can help by choosing where and what you buy.
