Seeking Simplicity

Louise Cartwright

Seeking Simplicity is a podcast for women navigating the seasons and cycles of life, liminal spaces and personal transformation and reinvention. Through soulful conversations, and thought-provoking insights, we explore how to release the pressure to constantly do or be more. This is your space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and embrace the power of simplicity. Because sometimes, the answers we seek come when we stop searching.

Seeking Simplicity ·

2025/10/22

During this cosy micro episode, I dive into why so many of us have been conditioned to believe that joy is something we have to earn—a reward for completing the never-ending to-do list, or something we only allow ourselves to feel once everything (and everyone) else is taken care of.I open up about my own journey, from building my self-worth through endless productivity, to finally realising that joy isn’t a finish line to cross or a prize waiting at the end of achievement. Instead, joy

Why fighting reality only makes life harder

Seeking Simplicity ·

2025/09/10

It's easy to feel like you're "fighting life". Especially when you are in hard times.But when we fight, we resist and "what resist, persists" right? PLUS.. when we are putting the focus outside of ourselves, we're now not in the power to change anything. I get it. In this episode I share part of my own journey of moving from resistance and wishing things were different, to embracing acceptance—without resignation or approval of what simply is. I ask you to see how arguing with reality

Why the words you use REALLY matter

Seeking Simplicity ·

2025/08/20

The words you use are SO much more than language, they create spells. Spells that determine what your life looks and feels like.In this short and potent episode, I ask you to see what happens when you become more conscious of the impact and effect of your language - especially when it comes to the words we use with ourselves. And it begins with this question. Is it sacrifice or investment? You see, the words we use don't just decide the action we take, but how we FEEL and WHO we are when

Self Judgement Truth Bombs

In this honest episode, I invite you to explore the often-painful topic of self judgment—the kind that seeps into our skin, weighs us down, and keeps us locked out of our own innate wisdom. I share from my own journey—years spent in deep self criticism, the endless comparison, and how I finally stepped off that exhausting podium. Together, we look at self judgment through a gentler lens. Why do we measure ourselves by standards we never consciously chose? What if those harsh internal
