Constellations and all that...

What if the challenges you're facing didn't begin with you?
In this episode of Constellations and All That, I sit down with Fernanda Vitale to explore how Family Constellations can help us see our lives, relationships, and experiences through a different lens.
Fernanda shares her own journey into this work, the constellation that changed the way she understood her family story, and how systemic awareness has shaped her work with children, families, and young people.
Together, we explore how patterns can repeat across generations, what it means to take responsibility without blame, and why awareness can open the door to new choices.
In this conversation, we discuss:
• How Fernanda first discovered Family Constellations
• Generational patterns and unconscious loyalties
• Why awareness creates choice
• The difference between blame and responsibility
• How systemic thinking changes the way we see others
• The ripple effects of healing within families
• Why what we're carrying may not always belong to us
One of the most powerful ideas from this conversation is that many of the struggles, behaviours, and patterns we experience may be connected to something larger than ourselves.
Not everything starts with us.
Sometimes healing begins when we pause long enough to see the bigger picture.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy Cartwright is joined by Cushla Sheridan, a passionate Irish woman now living in Aotearoa who is dedicated to reconnecting people to the heartbeat of the earth and the wisdom of the sacred feminine.
Through her work facilitating mother-daughter circles, reclaiming the sacred menopausal portal, and hosting gatherings aligned with the Irish Wheel of the Year, Cushla weaves ancient traditions, nature-based wisdom, and deep spiritual connection into her work.
Together, Tracy and Cushla explore the profound lessons nature offers, the wisdom that emerges through life's transitions, and the unseen field that connects us all. Their conversation touches on Family Constellations, generational patterns, belonging, consciousness, and the healing that becomes possible when we reconnect with ourselves, our ancestors, and the natural world.
From the intelligence of bees and the teachings of the land to womb wisdom, the sacred feminine, and the power of community, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and remember our place within the greater web of life.
Join Tracy and Cushla for a heartfelt conversation about nature, women's wisdom, Family Constellations, and the deeper connections that shape who we are.

In this episode of Constellations and All That, Tracy sits down with Suzi Tucker for a rich and heartfelt conversation about Family Constellations, ancestral patterns, and the deeper “root system” beneath our lives.
Suzi is a respected presenter, teacher, facilitator, and writer. As cofounder of Zeig, Tucker & Theisen, Publishers, she played a pivotal role in introducing Family Constellations to the United States and went on to organise the first Family Constellation classes with Harald Hohnen.
Together, Tracy and Suzi explore how family systems shape us, how secrets and inherited patterns live within us, and why curiosity can often take us further than trying to fix everything.
Suzi also shares her journey working closely with Bert Hellinger and helping publish foundational constellation books such as Love’s Hidden Symmetry, along with reflections on grief, belonging, and what it means to remain a forever student of this work.
She is also the author of Gather Enough Fireflies and several forthcoming titles exploring life, facilitation, and deeper ways of seeing.
This conversation is full of wisdom, tenderness, and powerful reminders that healing often begins beneath the surface.
A beautiful reminder that we are never standing alone.
