the Henny Flynn podcast
A space to settle in and listen, and see where the episode takes you. This inspiring, reflective podcast is an invitation to travel deeper: to deepen self-awareness with profound self-compassion. Henny shares insights from her own life, alongside practices that help us connect with our inner wisdom, explore our relationship with change and find a greater sense of flow.
Henny believes we all hold our own answers, so there are no one-size-fits-all solutions here. This is a space to be with what’s true for you, and to grow from there. If you’re drawn to slowing down, listening in, and exploring what it means to live with greater authenticity, this podcast is for you.
Guided by psychology, mindfulness, therapeutic coaching, flow journaling, and everyday compassion, we explore ideas that help us step further into our inner worlds, in order to shape the changes we seek in our outer worlds.

Inner work: books to engage us, with Kate Adams (S12E10)
Tap to send me your reflections ♡
My guest today is the publisher Kate Adams.
Kate has published many books you’d recognise, including You Are What You Eat by Gillian McKeith, A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and Live Well Every Day by Dr Alex George. After working at Random House and then Penguin, she launched the Aster imprint for Octopus Books. Her experience has informed her deep curiosity about her own inner work - and has inspired the creation of the Inner Work Project.
This is a wonderful expansive conversation that covers so many things - all enriching. I felt deeply calm after chatting with Kate. She has a wonderful energy that speaks to her curiosity and independent thinking.
I think you’ll enjoy meeting her too!
Some of the things we discussed include…
- The books & writers that can prompt us to start our journey on the inner work
- How our age and Lifestage can inform where we place our attention
- The power of letting the wild mother in (and releasing our need to be ‘good’)
- One of my favourite quotes: "Beware the man of one book"
- How we can reach outside ourselves for the answers - when they really sit within
- The importance of purpose as we craft the life we are creating
Lastly, there was a phrase that came to me as we spoke. Grasp the nettle and make tea. At the time it felt important. Maybe it speaks to you too.
