Rise Up: The Inner Work with Vicky Ross

Rise Up: The Inner Work with Vicky Ross is a podcast for anyone who knows there is more to them than the patterns they keep repeating. In each episode, Vicky brings together three decades of experience in human behaviour, neuroscience, emotional mastery, identity, and the deeper spiritual and energetic layers that shape our lives. This is a space to slow down, hear yourself differently, and understand why you think, feel, and behave the way you do — and how to shift it. Through stories, insights, and real-life anonymous sessions, you’ll explore the beliefs, paradigms, conditioning, and internal narratives that quietly direct your life. You’ll learn how awareness, understanding, and unlearning create space for something new — a life that aligns with who you truly are. This is not about motivation. It’s about remembering your power, your truth, and the part of you that knows what you want is available to you. When you understand your inner world, you

  Riding Life Like You Stole It - Rise Up Story with Nicky Herringshaw

  Jul 17, 202650 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Sometimes life doesn't fall apart because you've failed. Sometimes it falls apart because you've abandoned yourself. In this deeply honest Rise Up Story, Vicky Ross is joined by physiotherapist and mind-body practitioner Nicky Herringshaw , whose life looked successful from the outside but quietly felt empty on the inside. From the monotony of early motherhood to discovering betrayal, Nikki shares the moment she realised she had been living everyone else's version of her life—and what it took to come home to herself. Together they explore: • Why your body often speaks before your mind is ready to listen. • Healing after infidelity and divorce without becoming bitter. • The surprising power of understanding someone's story without excusing their behaviour. • Why meditation isn't about escaping life—it's about returning to yourself. • The relationship between physical symptoms, emotions and unconscious beliefs. • Letting go of people-pleasing and learning to trust your own intuition. • The freedom that comes from upgrading not only your future—but the story you tell yourself about your past. Drawing on more than 24 years as a physiotherapist, Nikki explains how she combines Women's Health Physiotherapy with Havening, PSYCH-K®, NLP and Cranio-Sacral Therapy to help people reconnect mind, body and soul through a truly holistic approach. If you've ever found yourself asking, "Is this really my life?" this conversation will remind you that your greatest breakthrough often begins with your greatest awakening.

  The Place Between Human Pain and Spiritual Truth

  Jul 5, 202636 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail Pain does not disappear just because you’ve read the books, meditated, or done years of inner work. On a tender anniversary, Vicky Ross shares a raw, real-time realisation about grief, spiritual growth, and the moment she stopped treating her feelings as proof that something had gone wrong. We talk about the “myth of painless spirituality” and the frustration that follows: if I’m awake, why am I still triggered? If I understand consciousness, why does heartbreak still hit? Using Jeff Foster’s ocean and wave metaphor, we explore a grounded way to hold both truths at once: the wave can rise, crash, ache, and rage, and you can still be the ocean. That shift matters for emotional healing, trauma recovery, nervous system reactions, and anyone who feels stuck in repeating patterns despite doing all the “right” personal development work. We also unpack how healing can quietly turn into control, a strategy to make life behave, relationships soften, or fear finally leave. The alternative is not spiritual bypassing or pretending you’re fine; it’s remembering what you are while fully allowing what you feel. If you’ve been trying to become a “better wave”, this will land. Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review. What wave are you learning to love today?

  From Sheffield Steel To Saving Lives

  Jun 16, 202659 minS1

  Send us Fan Mail He lands in Saudi Arabia the night the Gulf War begins, gets offered a bonus to stay, and says yes because unemployment back home is the other option. That single decision opens a career that moves from A&E nursing to pre-hospital emergency care, refugee camps, and later a very different fight inside healthcare leadership. I’m Vicky Ross, and I’ve wanted to share Andrew’s story for years because his resilience is not a slogan, it’s lived experience. We talk through what trauma work really looks like: rapid interventions with limited resources, the weight of responsibility, and how your nervous system learns to survive. Andrew shares how a Greater Manchester Fire Service initiative trained trauma technicians so firefighters could deliver immediate trauma care when seconds mattered, plus the resistance that came from politics and role boundaries. If you care about emergency medicine, defibrillators, first response, and how systems change, you’ll hear the behind-the-scenes reality. Then we go deeper into the internal aftermath: PTSD symptoms, guilt, and a form of detachment that protects you in war zones and resus bays but can block closeness at home. Andrew also opens up about toxic management, bullying, and 13 months of gardening leave, including the moment he decides he will not be pushed out. We finish with practical tools for staying steady, from mindfulness and the power of now to yoga, breath, gratitude, and the simple question: “Right now, do I have a problem?” If this conversation helps, subscribe, share it with someone who needs a lift, and leave us a review so more people can find Rise Up Stories.

  How Childhood Adaptations Become Adult Identity

  May 22, 202615 minS1

  <p>Send us Fan Mail</p><p>What if the parts of you that feel most “like you” are actually the parts you had to become to belong? We sit with a simple, unsettling question: what happened to the child you once were, the one who arrived curious, creative, emotionally open, and not yet trained to earn love through performance.<br/><br/>I talk through how disconnection often starts quietly as nervous system survival. When you are small, you cannot risk believing the adults around you are unsafe or unreliable, so you adapt instead. You become the achiever, the good girl...
