How do we move into deepest Being, and deepest Becoming? An integrity, wholeness, truth-seeing & telling that changes not just lives - but the cultures in which we live? Far more than personal, surface-level shifts - this form of self-actualisation is a practice of going inward; companioning and confronting what you find; and courageously choosing the person and values you wish to live by. It’s stripping away, in order to rebuild, and takes both radical bravery and radical responsibility. As today’s speaker would know…

In this episode, Anthea is joined by integrative transpersonal psychotherapist Abigail Iquo Isuo - a renowned 1:1 coach, retreat leader, facilitator and guide. Together, they share an inspiring conversation about coming to know yourself truly - in a way that irrefutably points the way forward. It’s a conversation illuminating psychological structures and safety-seeking; the nature of authenticity; deep embodiment; and what real personal transformation involves beyond the surface level work.

Abigail shares her own journey through integrative psychotherapy, along with her experience as Facilitator of the somewhat revered experience, Path of Love - an immersive and transformative 7-day retreat bringing people home to their innate capacity for connection. Abigail shares how these avenues shaped her understanding of somatic healing, emotional legacy and the body~mind connection - and how we can slowly but surely work our way back to integration.

We explore how nervous system regulation plays a central role in healing, empowered leadership, relational dynamics and working with discomfort. You’ll learn Abigail’s insights into self-leadership, sovereignty and building relational health - particularly in romantic dynamic where old patterns easily surface. It’s an episode rich in insight and guidance - centering on psychospiritual growth, emotional intelligence and learning to trust the wisdom of the body as a guide for living with purpose.
