Podcast 5 – Dr Rach Wyndham
Dr Rach Wyndham
“Ask your heart, does this make me expand or shrivel? – it will tell you”.
These are some wise words from my this week’s episode of unbreakable where I chat with medical doctor, naturopath and healer Dr Rach Wyndham. Rach is currently working with the dying in palliative care. A position which she admits she absolutely would not have been able to undertake before her bathroom floor – or in her case – locked in the stores cupboard moment. You see, before that Rach was trying, like a lot of us, to control things – her life, other people’s feelings, the health of others but mostly her own inner world. Now, Rach is taking the time to ask her heart what it wants/ feels / needs. She is committed to feeling it all and finding her truth – as a woman, a mother and of course as a medical practitioner.
Rach also shares with us:
+ how she found her hearrt in a world that was all head
+ her heart’s desire for freedom and what that looks like
+ why we have so much anxiety and depression ….. Clue -it’s our heart!!
+ the benefits and the challenges of finding space
+ why she treats her heart like it’s a toddler
If you are stuck in your head and your heart is yearning to be heard, this one is for you.
