the Henny Flynn podcast

In this gentle bonus episode, I share a warm check-in after my August break — a space to pause, reflect, and ease back into the season ahead.
I speak about what it’s been like to step away from work, from digital habits, and from the usual patterns of busyness… and what’s been surprising, helpful, or quietly confronting about that process. I talk about the Love Shrine at Shambala, revisiting my book The Heart of Change, and how the deeper work continues even (and especially) in stillness.
I also read a new poem — A Single Breath — and reflect on how the inner voice that used to write to 'My darling girl', now seems to be what (or who?) I am writing to.
If you’ve been wondering how to return after a pause, or how to meet yourself when the noise quiets, I hope this one meets you where you are.
And if you'd love to join me at A piece of quiet live, 30-minutes of calm, this Friday 5 September, book your space here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1483750621049?aff=oddtdtcreator you will be so welcome there.

In this final episode of Season 17, I share a gentle reflection before stepping into my August break – a time I’ve been honouring for many years now as a way of resetting and softening.
But this year, I’ve been particularly aware of one thing: dopamine. And more specifically, how our phones – and work, and even exercise – can give us such powerful hits that we risk missing the deeper nourishment that comes with stillness, rest and real presence.
So I’m exploring what happens when we don’t reach for the phone… when we rest, reset, and gently recalibrate our systems.
This episode is part musing, part intention-setting, part conversation with you. I talk about the Finding the More Abundant Way group coming to a close, the beautiful connection that forms in these small, deep spaces… and how rest – whether for a month or a moment – invites us to step out of our usual patterns and remember what truly feeds us.
If you’re wondering how to soften your own habits this summer, or simply want to share this pause with me, settle in and listen – and see where the episode takes you.

This week, I’m reflecting on abundance - not as magical thinking or wishful positivity, but as a deeply embodied trust in the resources, skills and love already within us, and around us.
I talk about the Finding the More Abundant Way group work I’ve been running, the tenderness of turning toward our beliefs about lack, and how Flow Journaling can help us soften into a more spacious, compassionate mindset.
I also share a journal entry from 2019 that still feels so true today - a reminder that the wisdom we write often circles back to meet us again.
If you’ve been feeling tightly held by old beliefs or wondering how to step into the fullness of the space that's here for you, this might be a good listen. Settle in & see where the episode takes you.

I’ve been meaning to talk about this for a while – and then a conversation in my kitchen with a friend reminded me why it’s such an important theme.
In this episode, I’m exploring the power of cross-skilling – noticing how the skills we use in one part of our lives can help us in another. Sometimes we forget just how capable we already are because we keep parts of our lives too separate. What if we could gently bring more awareness to the strengths we already have and use them where we most need them?
Here’s what I cover:
Why cross-skilling matters – and how we often miss the skills we already have.
The “ant brain” – my way of describing how we can tune in deeply to what’s happening around us (without falling into groupthink).
The risk of unconscious patterns – how to avoid applying old, unhelpful strategies, like people-pleasing, without realising.
A real-life example of discovering hidden skills – how a client realised they were far better at admin than they believed, simply by looking in a different part of their life.
The role of motivation and nuance – and why it’s not about doing everything everywhere, but about consciously choosing what supports us.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or believed you don’t have the right skills to face a challenge, this might open up a new way of looking at it.

This week, I’m sharing a podcast within a podcast...
It's the launch of something I hope you’ll love, that’s been gently forming behind the scenes.
A piece of quiet is a brand new private podcast offering. A weekly pause. A place to return to when life feels full, your heart feels tender, or you simply long for a few minutes of stillness and space.
In this episode, I’ll explain:
What A piece of quiet is - and how it might support you
Why I created it - and the practices it’s built on
How to access it - including a special founding member invitation
 …and I’ll share the very first full episode with you.
Each weekly episode includes:
A calming audio reflection to gently settle your nervous system
A carefully crafted Flow Journaling prompt to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom
A quiet rhythm to anchor your week — with nothing to achieve, no pressure to ‘keep up’
This is a practice of compassion, not perfection. A moment to come home to yourself.
A Piece of Quiet is a private subscription podcast, created especially for this community.
Founding members & listeners to the Henny Flynn podcast receive 20% off their first year.

With love,
Henny
