Returning to Yourself: A Conversation with Maribeth Swan
Linda BinnsThe final interview in the Self-Led Leadership series There is a particular kind of reconnection that happens when we stop running and striving. Not necessarily a dramatic transformation or a sudden awakening. Rather, a quiet, steady return — to our body, to nature, to the truth we always carried but somehow learned to distrust. That is the heart of my final conversation in the Self-Led Leadership interview series. And I couldn't have asked for a more fitting place to close. Maribeth Swan is an intuitive counsellor, flower essence guide and educator whose work centers on nervous system healing and helping people reconnect with their deeper essence. She brings lived experience, intuitive awareness, and trauma-informed care to her work — supporting people through grief, loss, and the kind of emotional unravelling that quietly precedes real growth. What drew me to Maribeth, and what I think will stay with you long after you watch this interview, is the quality of gentleness she brings. A reminder that the return to ourselves doesn't have to be hard.
