Welcome to this special anniversary episode of Create Your Kindspace. Today we’re celebrating two years of the podcast. That’s two years of heartwarming conversations, deep reflections and one question I’ve asked every single guest “How do you create your Kindspace?”

The answers have been honest, surprising, funny, moving, but always real. So for this special episode, I’ve gathered some of those voices into a kind of audio mosaic and also stitched into it some of the responses from you my beautiful audience. I’m so looking forward to sharing with you some really beautiful ideas, centred around things like nature, our routines, movement, connection and growth, and throughout all of this I will be reflecting on the things I’ve learned from our conversations. So if you want to grab a cuppa and make yourself comfortable, we’ll begin.

Hearing these stories over the past two years has changed me. I started out thinking of Kindspace as something calm and quiet, a routine maybe that we set for ourselves. But now I see it’s about being intentional, whether that is something ritualistic, like that first coffee in the morning or going for a walk or something completely opposite to what you normally do to get you out of your head and into your body, or vice versa. It’s also about the things that you don’t do and setting boundaries. Several guests mentioned the importance of saying no and carving time out for themselves. And something I have to admit I am not always the best at. But above everything, I think the other thing that came across was how important it is to try different things and see what works for you. Having variety is a really good thing and it’s actually okay for your Kindspace to change as you go through different seasons of life. So I encourage you to reflect on What does your Kindspace look like right now? And maybe how has that changed over time? And how do you feel about that? And maybe what sorts of things would you like to try?

I just want to finish by saying a huge thank you to all my guests, people who contributed to this episode and you my beautiful listeners.
