Summary

So many of us have had to shut down our heart and numb our emotions to survive. Estelle Bingham is dubbed ‘The Heart Whisperer’; she knows the greatest anxiety can come from suppressing parts of ourselves.

In this chat with Fearne, Estelle – a holistic therapist and healer – explains how when the mind is spiralling out of control, the heart can bring us back to stillness. She shares how to feel your emotions in your body instead of just analysing them in your head.

Fearne has done her own personal work with Estelle, and they talk though how Estelle’s guidance can banish shame and put a circuit breaker in negative thought patterns.

Plus, why Estelle reckons the type of manifesting you see on Instagram is “a load of old cobblers”, and how she would recommend manifesting joy instead...

Estelle’s book, Manifest Your True Essence, is out on April 8th.

0:00.0	Hello, I'm Fern Cotton and this is Happy Place, the show that gives you permission to take off whatever mask you're wearing for other people.
0:09.4	Today I'm chatting to Estelle Bingham.
0:11.6	When we're in flow, we just manifest, we're in flow, so we're in the flow of who we are.
0:17.4	And as you show up more authentically every day, you speak your truth, you speak your boundaries.
0:22.7	You say, I like this and I don't like that. What happens there is we're manifesting the life of our
0:27.9	dreams. And ultimately, that vision board, I want that, I want that car, I want the, that's just going to be manifesting more of that.
0:34.6	And ultimately, that doesn't bring us happiness. What brings us happiness is I'm in the car I want to drive and I also, I'm enough without the car that I want to drive.
0:43.3	I'm excited for you to meet Estelle. It's important for me with Happy Place to introduce you to
0:48.6	people that you know and love already and hopefully we'll get to know a bit better, but also
0:52.3	people you might not know about,
0:54.3	people who are doing really special work that might not be in the public domain.
0:57.8	And Estelle certainly fits into that category.
1:00.6	I've worked with her a couple of times personally, not professionally,
1:05.1	and have gained a lot from her wisdom and knowledge.
1:09.9	One thing I guess I've been finding recently, and when I
1:14.5	say recently, I mean in the last year, is that I can sometimes feel a bit numb. And this is more of a
1:21.5	recent thing, because I've had periods of like overwhelming emotion. But I think when you go
1:26.6	through a lot of stuff, and we all have, we've all gone through a bunch of
1:29.5	stuff, sometimes I can be a bit numb and I don't let the emotion, especially the tears,
1:36.1	come to the surface.
1:37.8	And that was quite apparent when I met Estelle because I had a big old cry the first time
1:42.9	I met her.
