In this episode of This One Precious Life, I am joined by Kate French, a Breathwork and Mastery Method Coach, for a grounded and deeply human conversation about breathwork, healing, recovery, and the wisdom of the body.

Kate shares her personal journey from disconnection and addiction to discovering the transformative power of breathwork, and how working somatically helped her rebuild safety, trust, and connection within herself.

Together, we explore how breathwork opens us up to a more beautiful experience of life and supports nervous system regulation. We also discuss the role of the ego in resisting embodied practices, and why small “micro moves” can create profound and lasting change.

This episode weaves together the science and spirituality of breathwork, explores different styles and approaches, and reflects on how integrating breathwork with coaching can deepen self-discovery and personal growth.

In this week’s episode of This One Precious Life, Natalie shares a special excerpt from The Remembering, her free monthly women’s circle. In this sneak peek, she offers a gentle yet powerful exploration of self-honouring.

Drawing on her word for the year, integrity, Natalie reflects on what it truly means to live in alignment with yourself, and how self-betrayal can quietly show up through people-pleasing, over-giving, and silencing our own needs.

This episode weaves together reflection, lived experience, and compelling science to explore why showing up as your true, unique self isn’t just your superpower; it’s also deeply supportive of your wellbeing, self-trust, and capacity to consciously create a life that feels authentic and nourishing.

If you’re in the early weeks of the year and feeling called to live with more honesty, presence, and self-honouring, this episode is an invitation to pause, tune in, and gently re-orient towards what feels true for you.

You are also warmly invited to join Natalie's free monthly women's circle, The Remembering. The next session takes place on 25th February, and here’s the link to find out more and sign up https://natalieking.net/the-remembering/

The reflection questions that accompany this episode are:

• If my inner world could speak freely, what would it want me to hear?

• What have I been silently tolerating that no longer feels self-honouring?
• What am I teaching others about my boundaries?
• What have I been longing for more of: rest, spaciousness, play, creativity, simplicity, support?
• What is one small but meaningful way I could honour myself more consistently this year?
• What might I choose less of/more of, in order to honour myself more?
• What shift(s) would allow my life to become a truer reflection of who I am now, and who I am becoming?

In this episode of This One Precious Life, Natalie is joined by Dr Aumatma Simmons, double board-certified naturopathic endocrinologist, for a powerful and perspective-shifting conversation about women’s hormones, intuition, and the way we work.

What if our hormones aren’t something to manage, suppress, or “fix”, but one of our greatest sources of wisdom and strength?

Together, Natalie and Aumatma explore the cyclical nature of the female body and how understanding our hormonal rhythms can support more sustainable productivity, clearer decision-making, and a more compassionate way of working.

Drawing parallels between the menstrual cycle and the seasons of nature, Aumatma shares why each phase carries its own intelligence, gifts, and challenges - and how so many women have been conditioned to override this inner guidance.

This conversation offers a reframe: from burnout to balance, from over-commitment to discernment, and from apologising for our emotions to trusting them.

If you’re a woman who has ever felt out of sync with the pace or expectations of the world around you, this episode is a gentle reminder that your body holds profound wisdom, if you’re willing to listen.

As we begin a new year, you’re also warmly invited to The Remembering, a slowly growing, beautiful community of women choosing to live their one precious life more boldly, intentionally, and authentically.

The next gathering takes place on 21st January, and you’ll can learn more and join us here: https://natalieking.net/the-remembering/

As the new year begins, it can feel tempting to rush forward, but this episode comes with an important reminder - Direction is more important than Speed

This isn’t a season to rush.
It’s a season to orient.

In this first episode of 2026, Natalie explores what she calls Direction 101 - the foundational inner work that shapes everything we create.

This episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect with your truth as a compass, presence as a creative force, and the power of small, conscious choices. Drawing on the rhythms of nature, Natalie reflects on the unseen season of rooting, percolation, and seed-planting, and how inner alignment quietly sets the tone for the year ahead.

Natalie also shares her word for the year 'integrity', and why this feels important. Hint - it has everything to do with self-honouring!

If you’re longing for a more grounded, intentional beginning to the year, this episode offers space to breathe, reflect, and reorient from the inside out.

You’re also warmly invited to The Remembering, a live, community-based online space that Natalie hosts free of charge each month.

Each session explores the foundational truths that help us embrace This One Precious Life more authentically and boldly.

The next session takes place on 21 January , and here’s the link to find out more and sign-up: https://natalieking.net/the-remembering/

As the year draws to a close, it’s tempting to rush ahead.

But what if the most powerful thing you could do right now is pause?

In this special end-of-year episode (and a little celebration of Episode 100), Natalie invites you to reflect before you reset. To look back with compassion, honesty, and appreciation, and to honour what this year has truly held for you.

In this heart-led reflection, Natalie explores:

• Why looking back is essential before moving forward

• How reflection helps you decide what to carry into the new year, and what to gently release

• How setting intentions (rather than resolutions), and playing a longer game, can lead to more sustainable, meaningful change
  

Natalie also shares her own reflections on why intentions are more powerful than resolutions, what it means to commit to self-honouring, and the importance of acknowledging your wholeness. All this alongside a heartfelt thank you to listeners around the world who have helped This One Precious Life reach its 100th episode.

As a gift, Natalie is sharing her End-of-Year Reflection Workbook, a guided invitation to pause, reflect, and set intentions in a way that feels nourishing rather than pressurised.

This episode is a moment between chapters.

A reminder that clarity comes not from rushing forward, but from acknowledging where you’ve been.

✨ Listen in, take a breath, and reflect before you reset.

What if joy isn’t something that happens to you, but something you can choose into and cultivate day by day? In this inspiring episode, I am joined by MaryAnn Walker, a life coach for highly sensitive people and recovering people-pleasers. Together, we explore how joy can become a way of being, not a fleeting feeling or a lucky accident.

We unpack why we’re not predisposed to one emotional state and how the habits we practise, or neglect, impact how we show up to life. Even familiar patterns that don’t actually bring us joy can feel “safe” simply because they’re well-rehearsed.

This conversation highlights how gently and consistently choosing joy reshapes who we are becoming over time, why repetition matters, and how small daily acts of alignment can shift us into a more empowered, expansive, joyful life.

This is an uplifting, warm, heart-expanding exchange that reminds us that joy isn’t frivolous - it’s medicine, resilience, and a deep act of self-care. And it’s available to all of us, in the smallest, most meaningful moments, by design.

Here's how to find out more about MaryAnn:

This episode is your reminder that growth is not reversible, and that’s a beautiful thing. Once you’ve expanded, awakened, or outgrown old versions of yourself, you can’t crawl back into the shape you once were. You can't go back to being a caterpillar - you’re not meant to.

Tune in to be guided, inspired and encouraged to keep moving forward, even when it feels tempting to shrink back into old patterns. It's time to honour the woman you’re becoming, trust your wings as they unfold, and choose the next-level version of yourself with intention and grace.

If you’ve been feeling the stretch of transformation, this is your reminder to keep going. You’re not a caterpillar anymore. You’re becoming the butterfly.

And if you’d love a supportive space to anchor that expansion, to pause, reflect, and set intentions for the woman you’re becoming - I’d be honoured to have you at The Remembering on 15th December.

This will be an end-of-year reflection and intention-setting gathering, designed to help you step into 2026 with clarity and grounded courage. You can sign up here

Truly… you’ve got this 🦋

In this special episode, Natalie shares an intimate glimpse into The Remembering , her free monthly women’s circle. Each session has a unique theme, and this month's was devoted to self-love and self-celebration.

Through Natalie's reflections, this episode explores how honouring yourself, embracing your wins, and softening your inner dialogue can deepen self-worth and build lasting self-trust. Discover why celebrating yourself isn’t indulgent and is actually an essential act of self-honouring that fuels personal growth, confidence, and joy.

If this episode resonates with you, consider joining a future The Remembering, a monthly space to reflect, reset, and remember who you truly are.

And to continue reflecting on the theme of self-love and self-celebration, here are the journaling reflections from the gathering that Natalie refers to:

• What would you say to yourself if you could pause and truly honour your journey?
• What might it look like to celebrate yourself more often, not just for achievements, but for simply being you?
• Where might you still withhold love or acceptance from yourself, and what would compassion look like there?
• How does your body tell you it feels loved and cared for?
• How might you bring more joy, beauty, or play into the way you honour yourself?
• If you were to live from a place of deep self-love, what might shift in your choices, energy, or relationships?
