Are you open (fully open) to receiving? Is there space in your heart so all the things you desire (all the good stuff) can get it?
In this week’s episode we look at the relationship between giving and receiving. How 'over giving' causes us to feel exhausted and resentful, and how an inability to receive robs us of our fulfilment and joy.
I share 4 practical steps to expand your ability to receive and share with you how receiving can help you feel joyous and fulfilled and restore your connection to having more magic and abundance in your life.

This episode is inspired by a question and a very honest sharing from Amanda about her procrastination.
For many people procrastination is caused by fear; fear of failure or fear of success. But Amanda had already explored her fear and still couldn’t get to the root of her procrastination. When this is the case we need to go deeper and meet the archetype who is responsible for discipline, consistency and getting things done … your Inner Warrior. This week you will meet your Warrior and discover why it’s out of balance or burnt out.
Welcome to the Soul Alchemist Podcast with Catherine Maguire. Weekly wisdom, inspiration and practical steps to support you on your journey of personal growth and transformation.
This week I also share practical actionable steps to restore your relationship with your Warrior so you can live a more purposeful, expansive and joyous life.

Are you holding back or playing small? This week I share how being told I was ‘out of tune’ as a child caused me to constrict and limit my voice and myself. And how by finding the right teacher I was able to free my voice and more importantly, free myself.

If you’re on a journey of personal growth and are looking for a weekly infusion of inspiration, you’re in the right place. Welcome to the Soul Alchemist Podcast with Catherine Maguire.
In this episode we are exploring how years of protective coping mechanisms become armour that keeps us small and stop us from having the life experiences we desire. So we force, strive, push and hustle to prove we’re good enough and to create the life we want. It’s a good game plan but eventually it becomes exhausting and you’ll burn out.
But there’s another way!!
To embrace your vulnerability and soften and surrender into who you truly are.
Catherine offers simple, practical guidance for observing defensive patterns in daily interactions and experimenting with openness to allow deeper connection, growth, and blossoming. We will learn from the rose, who drops her thorns (her protection mechanism) when she is fully grown and stands tall comfortably in her radiance and vulnerability for everyone to admire.

Fitting in is exhausting. It also causes you to disconnect from your gifts, your essence and your very sense of self. This disconnection creates plenty of space for the inner critic and imposter syndrome to come in and run wild, confirming the core belief that you’re ‘not good enough’.
In this episode we're going to explore how by embracing the unconventional nature of who you truly are, you can access the full colour spectrum of your essence and live a more joyous and fulfilling life.

This week's episode invites you to embrace every moment, be it a high or a low, and accept the natural rhythm of life. It's inspired by the intensity of the Italian summer and its inevitable transition into the serene stillness of winter.
Welcome to the Soul Alchemist Podcast with Catherine Maguire. Weekly wisdom, inspiration and practical steps to help you alchemise where you are blocked, stuck or playing small so you can live a joyous and magical life.
I also share how the success of last’s weeks podcast created an internal pressure that blocked my creativity and flow, and how remembering that 'it's not always summer' helped me find my groove again.
