Sacred Stories With Annie
Sacred Stories With Annie
Annie neat
Sacred Stories is a podcast about the messy, beautiful reality of healing from the nervous system out. I’m Annie- a somatic therapist, yoga teacher, and mother and here I share honest reflections on what it really looks like to live in a regulated body, navigate motherhood, run a business, and stay human in the process. This isn’t about perfection, quick fixes, or spiritual bypassing. Expect real stories, nervous system tools, and conversations that meet you where you are , tender, tired, curious, or all of the above. Because your story is sacred. And you’re not alone in it.
Recovering from burn out- Here's my story!
Burn out is such a common experience but everyones experience is different. Here is my story of burn out and how I recovered from it. I also discuss how motherhood has sent me close to burn out and how I've managed to catch it. Would love to know your thoughts on burn out. Drop me a note in the comments!

How I manage (or don't manage) the many plates of life I'm spinning!
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of work, decorating and parenting. It has been messy, chaotic and amazing all in one breath. But I have felt myself get to the edge of my capacity so here I share how I've supported myself to edge out of that and get abit more energy. PS- my computer had a blip so there is a small moment where I stop talking and come back. I'll be honest, I don't have the time to edit so deal with 😂.

Did I miss the handbook for adulting?
Recently someone said to me that I have adulthood sorted. But seriously, does anyone? To the outside world it can appear that I keep my plates spinning but what's the reality? Dishes, laundry piled up, running out of loo roll... I mean the list is endless. So let's have a moan about adulting, we're in this together!

From Teaching Drama to Teaching Yoga: But how did I get there!?
It's been a special journey but a hard trail to build the business that I have today and I'm really excited to share that with you! From working in the youth sector, teaching to two (or no) students to running the River Room Wellbeing studio. It's been one hell of a ride and I can't wait to share it with you!
