Enjoy being a fly on the wall as I sit down for a real, unedited psychic reading with one of my beautiful Soul-scribers Emily.
If you’ve ever wondered:
✨ What actually happens in a psychic reading?
✨ What does it sound like when someone sits opposite a psychic?
✨ How does intuitive information actually come through?
…then this one is for you.
These are short form mini readings (around 20 minutes), completely unprompted and unedited. So aside from the shorter timeframe, this is genuinely what a session with me sounds and feels like.
Whether you’re psychic curious, considering booking a reading one day, or just love witnessing spirit do its thing, then settle in.
Book your time with me here.
With Barbault's Basket inviting a rare planetary alignment this weekend, expect a lot of energetic movement mostly in our collective lives. Think revolutionary thinking and action, shifts in leadership and positions of "power" and creative visioning and action.
There is a LOT of fire and air moving over the coming days and week, and with Mercury still retrograding through Cancer - it's time to seek out grounding, earthy practices to help us anchor into our bodies and not be swayed by external collective overwhelm .
Happy Cancer New Moon in Mercury Retrograde Soulies, how are we doing out there?! This ep has been recorded with the intention to leave you all with clearly actionable steps to work with this transit - and the energy of the next ten days at least - with plenty of real-life moments of my own as examples. (I have my Chiron in Cancer so expect chats on mother wounds, body image and intuitive insights into what's next for my work in the world.)
It's been one year Soulies and to celebrate I am answering all of your questions in this BUMPER ep - from business questions to motherhood, triggered-chats to theatre, we cover so much ground and honestly?
I think this is one of my most favourite eps yet.

In this week's bonus ep, instead of a What's The Vibe, you get to listen-in to a live astrology reading with Soul-scriber Paige.
We dive deep into all of the personal planets of Paige's chart - what it all means and how she can actively work with these placements going forward.
You might like to follow along with your own chart - astro.com - or pull up the YouTube to have a closer look at WTF I'm talking about.

It’s time for a hype-up Soulies, and as your resident Leo astrologer with Jupiter now in Leo for us all, I have some things to say! In this ep I’m sharing some very simple, easy practices to inject more joy, light and creativity into your days.
(But don’t be fooled, the ep starts with a very bitter Projector not-self me processing my recent book figures…read: not good. Grab the popcorn.)
We have SO MUCH moving astrologically in the next few days, this week I break it all down for you:
-
Cancer season - as an archetype, the light and shadow, and how to work with the essence of Cancer this season
-
Capricorn Full Moon - the medicine for Cancerian energy - pointing to where you might be playing victim, or ignoring intuition
-
Mercury Retrograde (in Cancer) - and why it isn't a transit to fear (and why as a psychic it's one of my favourite transits!)
-
Jupiter into Leo - 12 months of play, joy and expansion for us ALL - Leo or not!
Enjoy this new energy Soulies - it's going to be a great time!
After a couple of days down and out with a shutdown (thank you for being patient with me Soulies, it was a big weekend!) I’m diving into all of the epic shifts I received after my final EFT sesh with Erin last week. We’re talking total power reclamation - and the discomfort of actually desiring public recognition and celebration in a culture that is repulsed by it. And no actually, this doesn’t make you a narcissist. What could life look like if you allowed yourself to look FORWARD, rather than constantly back? I share how life has opened up for me just by making this simple shift.

Leo is one of the most misunderstood astrological archetypes. And we have a LOT to heal in Leo this year - with Venus currently sitting here, followed by Jupiter end of the month and then the South Node for the next 18 months, these transits are asking us ALL - whether Leo or not - to harmonise our wounds around taking up space, shining, being seen and the dreaded “tall poppy syndrome”.
This vibe check is the first of a few that will unpack the misunderstandings of this archetype and help us lean into the gifts of generosity, creativity and big lover-girl energy that this sign is bringing us all.
You put the healing down. You stop picking the scab (listen for the metaphor, I swear it’s good!)
I’ve had a WEEK. And it seems like it’s just kept coming since arriving home from Fiji. Wave after wave (of anger, grief, nausea, and sometimes all at once!) has shown me that absolutely no level of “deep work” is worth it when it’s at the cost to your physical and/or emotional wellbeing (oxymoron much?)
I share where my love for personal development first originated, and what happened this past week that really tipped me over the edge.
Grab a final seat at my Heart Space LIVE event here.
We’re in the compression before the expansion Soulies - hence the early vibe-check release, because I’m hoping this gets to you right before our beautiful Jupiter/Venus conjunction this evening. Not feeling it yet? There’s a reason behind that!
I break down quick-fire key themes that might come up for you during this transit based on the house it falls in for you personally, so have your chart handy for this one!
Trigger warning: this episode discusses postpartum depression, miscarriage, and birth trauma. Listener discretion is advised.
So I know I said I was taking a healing break, but what do you do when the healing finds you?!
We’re talking everything from anger overflow that lead to a serious EFT burp-sesh, to residual haunted house wounds, to a ruptured haemorrhoid (yep!). The undercurrent of it all? It’s time to look forward, not back.
I end the ep unpacking my mixed feelings about Yesteryear (no spoilers!)
We start our week with Venus (planet of love and beauty) and Jupiter (planet of luck and expansion) conjoining in the sign of Cancer (sensitivity, romance and home) and my gosh is this a beautiful transit - I’m going to say one of the best of the year! Now is the time to dive into all things beauty and romance - yes of the love variety! - and indulge your senses. We end the week with Venus moving into Leo (sign of the heart and bold adoration) - so it’s safe to say we’re going to have some lover-girl experiences coming right up! What a vibe!
Following on from last week’s episode questioning if it’s time for me to take a little healing break, I dive deeper into what my Instagram hiatus is teaching me about boredom and energetic intention, and how much of this time is reminiscent of my first Vipassana 10 Day Silent Retreat 6 years ago (symbolic dreams, past-life recollections and a throwing away of everything “spiritual”).
Don’t worry - I’m absolutely not doing that this time, but I do find myself in a space of exhaustion when it comes to the constant “bettering” of myself and moving the healing goalposts before I actually sit and acknowledge how far I’ve come…especially when it comes to my physical health.

It’s Gemini Season friends, and while we love the chatty, social nature of this sign, we also have our Virgo South Node reminding us to slow right down - especially when it comes to Mercurial matters: technology, transport (cars especially!) and communication. The more we can lean into the season we are in (literally - Winter for us here in Aus!) the more our deliberate and intentional approach to our energy will pay off.
I unintentionally tripped a healing switch and overdid it last week Soulies - I’m talking deep, cellular, quantum healing on all levels... But I swear I didn’t mean to!
What started as an innocent EFT session on suppressed anger (that was surprisingly rooted in deep postpartum grief), found it’s way to unlocking deep-seated familial rage that became fevers, daggers in my throat, and a gnarly-looking rash initiated by a remedy that shall not be named. Thank you Virgo South Node exacting my Virgo Mercury, and conjoining my Virgo Mars!
All that to say - it feels great to be shifting so much out of my field and also, your gal needs a second to breathe before we start shifting aliens from her colon.
(And yes I am fully aware this ep goes for 44:44, the angels are loving today's ep)

It’s good to be back! Today I share all about our family trip away and mostly, what landed for me when I took the time off of my phone (saving 5 hours of screen time a day at one point!) and actually sat with everything I’ve been suppressing (emotionally, energetically, and even some physical roots too!)

In this week's episode (while I'm offline living my best life in Fiji!), you all get to be a fly-on-the wall as I drop into another psychic reading for a subscriber and also long-time beautiful client of mine, Paula.In this episode you will get to hear what a real-life psychic reading sounds like when someone sits opposite me. These are mini-readings (20-ish minutes) that are completely unprompted and unedited - and other than the shorter time frame, they are exactly how a psychic reading goes when someone sits opposite me.I loved reading for Paula because she works in the magic realms herself - a reiki master, NLP practitioner and expert in mindset, strategy and creating empowered change - and when I read for other spiritually "tapped in" people, we cut straight to the chase, leaving absolutely no stone unturned - which you'll hear in today's ep. There's a beautiful vulnerability and honesty in today's episode that I feel will particularly resonate with any other business owners or anyone navigating grief in some way, however truly - there is something for everyone here. Enjoy!
It's a mini-one for you this week Soulies as truth be told, my brain is in holiday mode and I have very little to say (for once in my life!)
I go on plenty of tangents (some a little dark in humour, let's blame Scorpio Moon for this one) and you will hear by the end that this gal just really needs a break.
I also pull us two cards for the week ahead from:
-
The Enchanted Earth deck by Jessica Lahoud
-
Gaia Oracle deck by Toni Carmine Salerno
Next week will be a fly-on-the-wall reading ep and then I'll be back in real time after that!
Enjoy!
We go off on some TANGENTS today Soulies - including a big open channelling sesh around time becoming even more of a construct (release the time travellers!) and how we can actively work with this energy using Taurus Season as medicine.
I also touch on the Scorpio Full moon and what vibes may arise for you depending on where it falls in your chart.
Join us in ceremony tonight!

Come sit and have a cacao with me as I recap the week that’s been - from a shutdown prompted off the back of last week’s episode and a lot of suppressed rage coming to the surface, to The Great Divide spiralling me even further (yes I share some favourite lines!) and the resurrection point when Uranus moved TF out of my 11th house - ending with margaritas with my best friends by a fire under the stars…it’s been a week! Here’s to the magic a fresh one will bring for us all x
I have been desperate to get in front of the mic and recap the past five days with you all! A whirlwind trip to Sydney to see Pamela Anderson, the private Vogue event I was invited to beforehand and everything in the lead up that sent me into a spiral about my body - especially my cup size.
This is a sensitive episode about body image and body shame, as well as moments of lightness and inspiration as I reflect on the wisdom Pamela left us with, the healing soul-friendships can bring, and how I integrated off the back of a very intense yet inspiring, full yet beautiful couple of days.
TW: I cry a bit, about my body - and breasts in particular - so listener discretion is advised if these are sensitive topics for you x
We are right in the thick of a volatile few transits cosmically - with 7 placements in Aries, the fire sign of the warrior, force/willpower and determination. This is my intuitive interpretation of each of these transits broken down in a very easy to understand way - explaining the Aries archetype, followed by the energy of each of the transiting planets (and one asteroid!) and what this could be stirring up for us collectively and in our personal lives.
Pull up your own chart on Astro.com and find where Aries rules (I explain how in the ep) to have a deeper understanding of the personal themes that may be activated for you during the next week or so.
Well, that was a doozy!
This week I share what happened when the Libra full moon took me downnnnn - physically, and energetically - including the key lessons I learned while I was down and out, and the people pleasing patterns I still need to figure out.
I share the exciting opportunity that landed once I fully surrendered to resting, cancelled plans and building my energy back for me first.
This week we're looking at all of the energetic (and physical) practices you can introduce into your daily life to ensure you are as pristine energetically as possible - especially in times of uncertainty like we are currently experiencing. These are all the exact practices I personally do as a working psychic for almost a decade now - I hope they help support you the way they continue to support me!
In this month's bonus episode, you all get to be a fly-on-the wall as I drop into a psychic reading for one of my clients-turned-friends Belinda (@belindajoy_medium on Insty).
In this episode (that is also available to watch on YouTube if you'd like to SEE how I look as I channel) you will get to hear what a real-life psychic reading sounds like when someone sits opposite me. These are mini-readings (20 minutes) that are completely unprompted and unedited - and other than the shorter time frame, they are exactly how a psychic reading goes when someone sits opposite me.
I loved reading for Belinda because she is a practicing psychic, medium and Akashic Records healer, as well as a cacao ceremonialist trained under the same lineage as me - and when I read for other spiritually "tapped in" people, we cut straight to the chase - which you'll hear in today's ep.
Enjoy!
Your weekly energy reading is here! (And it's a big ep because the downloads were loud!)
And while the collective energy right now feels chaotic and building in momentum (which is especially true for any energetically sensitive types) - there are three pillars we can lean on right now for grounding:
Nervous system practices to regulate and expand our capacity
Community
Nature
Leaning on these as modalities for trust and faith over the coming weeks and months will be the foundations that bring us out of our heads and into our hearts.
This week my second book Saying Yes To You turns one and to be honest, there are mixed emotions.
I put a lot of pressure on myself for this book to outperform my first (bestselling) title - so how does an author cope when that doesn’t happen?

We're delayed but still here Soulies, apologies for the late start this week - I explain everything in the intro!
This week's episode came through as a request from a listener who asked: Would love to learn more about kid's astro - guiding our little ones according to their charts?
Oomph. Something I am VERY passionate about, and whether you are a parent or not, this will apply to you (and your inner child!). THIS is how we create the change we wish to see in the world. I dive deep into understanding the unique flavours of your child's chart - in particular their moon sign, so pulling up the sign and house it falls in would be helpful for this episode (you can do that at astro.com!)
It's time to finally breathe out, Soulies. This week we're coming up for air, and resetting our systems.
Be conscious of where stress has festered in the body over the eclipse portal, especially if you're feeling sensations of anxiety this week - sighing, shallow breathing, yawning more than usual. This week is time to reset, and the breath is calling us as the starting point.
Join The Heart Space here.
Heads up Soulies - I'm an emotional mess in today's episode, as I unpack the week that's been.
This week I received my full diagnostic report, which has been equal parts liberating and helpful, and also filled with a pro/re-gression of autistic symptoms that have been masked.
I share all of the ways neurodiverse minds are recommended to tend to their nervous systems, my own unique sensitivities as captured in my report, and how I've navigated this week as I gently take off some of the masks I've worn for many many years.
Join the Dream Life Foundations waitlist here.
Two words: collective melancholy.
If this week you're feeling a little flat, wondering where this "fire horse" motivation is - then you're right on time. This week feels like trudging through sticky mud, emotionally and physically.
So while yes we are on the other side of the eclipse portal, it will likely take us a week or so to fully adjust to the new energies coming through. We are still in Pisces season, after all...
I wasn't sure if I'd dive straight into this this week, but given it's what is occupying most of my headspace and life right now - and this is literally a show all about that - it feels important to speak to my recent autism diagnosis after considering the reality of this for a couple of years now.
I share how I'm integrating this new understanding of myself in real time - and how I feel autism is synonymous with being an energetically sensitive and highly in-tune person. So really, any psychic is likely on the spectrum in some way (IMO).
Would love to hear what you think - and thank you for being gentle with me as this one is a very new, recent and vulnerable thread and one I know will be perceived in many different ways (not all true). This is just the heartfelt truth of my own experience that is still very freshly unfolding.
We're in a Mercury Retrograde period WITHIN an eclipse portal - safe to say, the veil is extra thing for us over the coming week. Now is the time to carve out space to tune in and pay attention to the signs, synchronicities and ways our intuitive wisdom shows up for us. The more space we create, the more intel we will receive.
Trigger warning: this episode discusses infant loss and death/grief. Please listen at your own discretion.
It’s been a big week Soulies - full of career highs, and a really big grief portal. For the first time I share (with permission) my best friend Leah’s story about her baby girl Harper, and how we honoured her this weekend a year after her tragic passing.
This is an episode about love and grief, HOW to even grieve, and how to show up as community when someone we love is in the throes of it.
Look, let's be real - there's a lot happening out there this week. Fire Horse, Aquarius Eclipse, Saturn in Aries... it's giving chaos. And chaos this week feels like it's energy with nowhere to go.
This is the week we take stock of our final shedding of the Year of the Snake...especially when it comes to the people we surround ourselves with. The communities. The environments. Some of you may even be on the precipice of a big physical move.
Trust in that, and lean on the wisdom of the Virgo South Node which is two-fold right now: be discerning with where you spend your energy and time, and move stress through as best you can.
Your adrenals are seeking extra love this week, and even though life is way busier than it was in January, it's still time to find pockets of rest where you can.
Trigger: I swear a LOT in today's episode and also reference Eps**** files. Listen with discretion.
This week I dive into psychic do's and don't's including how to know you're seeing a "good" psychic, and how to best show up so that you get the most out of your reading.
I answer your questions around psychic etiquette and then talk about the collective upheaval we are currently witnessing (all of the darkness coming to awareness) and the best ways we can stand up against the corruption, and it's all very Hunger Games to be honest. I'll probably get shadow-banned. Let's see what happens...
Join the Heart Space here.
Apologies for the delay in this week's ep guys, but what the actual eff is happening out there? Are you okay? Because I've been an absolute mess. It feels like a picture of collective, cosmic intensity, and the final week of the year of the snake squeezing out anything that really wants to be looked at once and for all.
I'm seeing lots of inflammation, sore bodies, emotions on overdrive...and it's intense.
This week's ep is a combined What's The Vibe collective vibe check meshed up with my clusterfuck of a week last week - there's heaps of tears, a couple of snotty snorts (soz about that) and I'm sure a lesson or two in there somewhere.
And by exhaust fan, I mean that distracting overstimulating background "life noise" that just isn't doing anyone any favours.
It's the perfect week to delete Tik Tok, take a social media breather, or just come back to the rhythms of simplicity that help an overstimulated mind. Think tending to your body, your families, and your homes.
Let everything else wait.
And don't say we're both "scammers" because I already got that one on Insty ;)
This week I unpack an EPIC reading I had with David The Medium, which prompted me to share exactly what the differences are between a psychic reading and a mediumship reading. We talk the Clairs briefly, as well as the difference between tarot and oracle, and how each reader you sit with will have developed their own unique way of accessing channel.

It's a fiery week this week Soulies, and this energy is set to stay for the coming weeks as well.
This might look like suppressed anger bubbling to the surface - keep an eye on your skin, and any flares like eczema, psoriasis ,and histamine reactions, as well as emotional releases and potentially some bigger physical purges as well.
The best thing we can do to hold ourselves in any collective chaos, is tend to our inner worlds as best we can. Take care of yourself and your family - your inner world - to bets face the chaos of the outer world in coming weeks.
I take one week off and next thing you know I can't stop talking about EVERYTHING! (And I mean everything!)
From today's Neptune into Aries transit and how it will impact all of us, to a more personal look into how I spent my time off, I dive into the energy of whimsy, romance and enchantment, swiftly shift gears into a story of my 17 year old self's first experience with heartbreak (and the saddest Valentine's Day story to match), then hyping up my husband and our 18 year anniversary, to a deeply philosophical reflection on the polarity of life.
I go everywhere today friends. (Except for crying actually, which is nice for a change!)
It's clearly good to be back.
This week's ep is a reflection of the week I spent living as a "doula" after the birth of one of my best friend's babies. It was healing as much for her as it was for me - recognising what women and mothers carry when a community has forgotten how to hold them.
This isn't an episode for mothers only - it is an episode for us ALL - to remember where we have come from, and how the holders always need holding (even if they don't know how to ask for it, or feel uncomfortable to receive it).
We will see much more of this return to community holding mid-year and beyond, so this conversation is right on time.
(Plus I also share a weird cosmic dance that reared its head for me this week, and an exciting biz update!)
Your weekly energy check is here - and right now, it's time to slow TF down! January is giving "void" and this is intentional. Over the coming weeks and months things will start to ramp up - your inspiration and motivation WILL return - but right now, consider this your reminder to start the year in slow. Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Tend to your energy now, and watch yourself soar in the coming months. But now is not that time (yet).
It's the first episode of 2026 - and if this is anything to go by then we're in for a TREAT this year, because this episode is ALMOST TWO HOURS LONG! And it's just me yapping?! How does she do it?!
This week I'm answering all of your questions - and there were a LOT - around the wisdom I have learned running my own business for 10 years now. We cover everything - from marketing, strategy and social media, to creativity, inspiration, finances and everything in between.
The first 30 minutes I debrief my VERY full week with you all and actually ball my eyes out for a bit there too, so believe me when I say...this ep has eveything!
Our final vibe-check for 2025! And this week is a little reminder that when the clock strikes midnight, try not to put too much pressure on yourself to feel "new year new me" energy right off the bat. In fact, it could take a few weeks and some more "2025 loose ends" before we FULLY land in the fresh energy of 2026.
A listener-requested episode - this week I dive into all of the ways I set myself up for a new year - from rituals, to journaling prompts, manifestation practices to business projections - we cover a lot of ground, and I share all of my tips for you to cultivate your best year yet!

In today's short-er episode combining the weekly episode with What's The Vibe intel I share the evidence-based, researched, tried and tested nervous system support practices for all of us to lean on in the current climate of crisis, upheaval and trauma. Majority of these practices are free and easily accessible, and readily available to all of us.
Remember that when you take care of yourself, only then can you show up for others in need. Look after you first and let your loved ones and community experience the ripple.
I love you all x
How are we doing out there Soulies? Because the vibe is giving a little "niggly" - coughing, spluttering, throat tension and an overall need to be deliberate and intentional with our time, energy and nourishment.
There's an undercurrent of boundaries being asserted in the lead up to Christmas - with family, yes, but also finances and your space.
This is how 2025 wants to end - so if you can start now, then the next few weeks will be epic for you.
The episode that almost never was...I'm nothing if not committed you Soulies! But now I need to sleep. For several days. I'll get to sleep for several days soon, right?
This ep I share the emotional rollercoaster that has been the last week - the highs (poddy wins and awards nights!), the lows (this birth portal of my little girl's was a doozy of one) and everything in between (new homeopathic remedies, and shadow aspects of self I'm currently being confronted with).
Expect tears. Lots of tears.
Take a shot (of cacao) every time I say "adrenaline" this ep.
This week we may feel a little scattered, a lot out of breath, or just like we have 20,000 balls in the air and no choice but to make it work.
It's okay. You're not going to personal development hell for not breathing deeply through it. It's just time to give our adrenals - and our kidneys - a little extra support.
Heads up Soulies - I process a re-emerging wound with you in-real-time, and am highly emotional in this one (also it's Day 29, so go easy on me!) I share how two experiences last week highlighted a very frequent wound that really wants to be looked at now: trusting, loving - and RECEIVING - from the men in my life (that aren't Trenny).
Trigger warning: this episode very briefly touches on sexual assault .
We've landed in Sag season but before we get to dancing on those tables, we've still got one week of Mercury RX asking us to land back in our bodies before we go all-guns-blazing with life. This week is calling for simplicity - a conversation with a stranger, gazing at a flower under the moonlight, marvelling at the beauty of time and how quickly life goes by. It's giving poetic. Keep it simple, Soulies.
It’s a whirlwind episode today friends, and we cover A LOT of ground. From a non-stop week ending in me having to practice what I preach and say no not once but twice (to things I really wanted to do!), to a huge breakthrough in a kinesiology session on all things wealth and fame - not to mention reading for my Survivor crush #IYKYK - it’s been a big one. I end the ep answering all of your mould questions from last week.
It's very timely this vibe check hits right alongside the Scorpio New Moon (more on that on the Initiations podcast by Jules Ferrari here) but regardless, the energy coming through for us all this week is one of fear - suppressed fear or old anxieties emerging. What do we do with them?
We look at the ways this energy wants to be mitigated this week - from flow state activities , to meditation and leaning INTO the fear rather than running from it.
And of course, if you are experiencing any mental health challenge, please reach out to your personal mental health team for help. You don't have to navigate this week alone.
Join The Heart Space here. (And sit ceremony with us this week!)
Feel The Feels meditation on Insight Timer.
It's a miracle you have today's ep in your ears for a number of reasons, majority which can be blamed on Mercury RX but thank eff we have this space together because I really need to debrief the weekend that was.
Think - all of my biggest fears in one intense 48 hour window, and me having a (likely homeopathic-instigated) breakthrough around how to live WITH the fear, rather than run from it (how very Scorpio-season of me.)
Enjoy...and heads up, I'm a bit swear-y in this one, I've had a holiday margarita, can you blame me?
It's time to shake it off baby - this week's vibe can leave us feeling a little "meh", a little indifferent...and our bodies are wanting us to drop righhhhhht on in!
Try these somatic practices - including a big cry out from your lymphs for some extra love! - and end the week feeling much more yourself.
Trigger warning : this episode discusses postpartum depression, and is an emotionally charged episode on all things motherhood (including conception and pregnancy related mentions). Please use discretion when listening.
Soulies - I was due for an emotional ep. This week our nanny dropped her hours, and it made me realise my little girl is growing up and I don’t know WTF I’m doing. Enjoy the blubbering mess, I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere.
I haven't even unpacked with my friends yet Soulies - you get first-insights into the past 5 days on tour as part of Wanderlust's East Forest show - facilitating the opening cacao ceremonies in both Melbourne and Sydney (while on my bleed because I don't do things in halves!)
I share the beautiful email that made me cry (literally live tears on the show, classic Holz), as well as the highlights for me and how I'll be taking extra care of myself over the next week as part of my standard nervous system practices.
Grab your copy of Saying Yes To You here.
This week's ep is a recap of my biggest speaking gig to date - leading the cacao ritual for ~1,000 people at Wellspring by Wanderlust .
I share how I FINALLY understand why nervous system regulation is such a foundational aspect of calling in your biggest dreams and desires.
Heads up Soulies - I've got my passionate pants on today, so you're getting a fiery, swear-y, Hols. Promise it's all from love.
We're in the process of handing the energetic baton from Libra Season to Scorpio Season - and themes of emotional honesty (with self, mostly) and letting down the walls/taking off the masks will likely emerge this week. Basically, we're saying yes to the real mess and goodbye to guarded perfection...
So the rubber band that is my stress levels has snapped...but it's okay, because I have you all to talk it out with!
Here's how I'll be handling this week and the stress that naturally has come with it (including some relationship conflict #prayforTrent), in the lead up to the biggest career opportunity of my life to date.
We're still in Libra Season and aside from beauty and being an excellent flirt, Libra rules all things relationships - marriage, business partnerships, friendship... so it makes sense that tension points would be arising for most of us in some way this season.
And rather than shadow-Libra-ing it (hello conflict avoiders!) the vibe check this week is realising the kindest thing you can do for you AND the other person is to be honest. And the first step to that honesty, is getting clear on what you value in the dynamic.
Let me just say - woah. The past week will go down as one of the most expansive in my business world to date and I am SO excited to give you all a little look into what is unfolding in my (not so little) dream life.
But how do I stay grounded and keep it all together when life is getting busier and more demanding than ever? In this ep I share all the things I will continue to do over the next fortnight in the lead up to the biggest event of my career to date...
Nope I don't spend much time on the Aries Full Moon and anger (you can check out Initiations by Jules Ferrari for a deep dive on the moon we just experienced) - this week's vibe has taken even ME by surprise, mid-channel!
We're talking unstress-essary end of year life moments that can be prevented now before life gets hectic. Ending the year in a calm, grounded manner? That's a vibe.
Love her or hate her - this isn't actually an episode about Taylor Swift...it's a dissection as to why someone like Taylor can be a lesson for all of us in pursuing our dreams and taking up space (especially as women) - as well as a look at why she is so polarising (we look at her astro and HD charts at the end of the ep).
I draw multiple parallels in my own life of actively pursuing my dreams and all that can come up in this navigation - including Tall Poppy syndrome, feelings of fear and not belonging, feeling the judgement of others...and share how Taylor's album launch this weekend came at the perfect time for a specific pain point I've been navigating.
Our first Libra Season in YEARS where we aren't navigating an eclipse or any hectic energy - so it's a vibe and a half for us! It's time to get our flirt on, feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, update your wardrobe and cultivate beauty through all of the senses! Don't know how? I've got you Soulies - this ep covers all that and more (sincerely, a Libra Moon x )
I'm back after my week break Soulies, and today's bumper ep covers exactly where I've been and what I've been up to (read: a lot!)
From a recap of the retreat I worked at in the Southern Highlands (and the expansion and lessons I received from it), to visiting my Granma in an aged care/dementia home (and how awful the experience was - trigger warning, I cry a lot), to proudly proclaiming "I'm a psychic!" to my Sydney taxi driver (and the conversation that followed), and everything in between - this is a typical fan-fav ep where you'll laugh, cry and likely learn a thing or two as we go.
We have a little under a week left of this eclipse portal Soulies, with our Virgo New Moon eclipse hitting early next week - so with this, trust in any energetic intensity that may be arising for you, and put those discernment skills to practice!
This second half of the portal could have you feeling urgent, rush-y, tick-box-y...and we want to catch ourselves in this energy and bring us back into the body, and our OWN unique energetic essence.
This week I pull a card from the Enchanted Earth Oracle deck by Jessica Lahoud.
Today's ep is a jumbo one Soulies, where I lift the lid on all of my psychic intel - from how I first realised I was a psychic, to how I practice (energetic hygiene, boundaries, and why I don't choose to actively work as a medium), to the key universal human truths I have seen after 8 years of reading for thousands of people the world over.
I also include ways you can start to activate your own intuitive trust muscle, and share many ways you can harness psychic gifts in your own life.
Jump into Psychic Studies here.
We're smack bang in our Eclipse portal now, and the vibes feel a little like this:
-
Polarising feelings and allowing them to coexist (e.g grief and joy, anxiety and excitement, depletion and energetic "aliveness"
-
Resurgence of suppressed grief in all forms asking to be FULLY felt (tears aplenty!)
And overall a message to allow ALL to come to the surface to be felt, and moved.
(If you didn't sing the title in Eminem-mode then you missed the joke.)
Today's ep is a biggie Soulies - in that I really go there when it comes to sharing how my cleanse/detox week went. If you have a weak stomach and don't like conversations that involve references to fecal matter, then you may want to skip this one.
But I promise it isn't all shit-chat. (Ha!) I share how this cleanse has liberated not only limitations in my physical body (namely inflammation markers) but my energetic and emotional body too (hello solar plexus upgrade!) , and how I will be honouring these parts of me going forward.
The cleanse I did.
The enema kit I use.
Trenny's blue light blockers.
Happy Eclipse season Soulies - here's the easy-to-understand lowdown of what this season means, how it all works, and why you have absolutely nothing to fear.
Here's to our destinies!
In today's ep I take you BTS in what was discussed in my recent homeopathic check in, after 8 weeks of working deeply with my remedy.
I cover a lot - from dream symbolism to suppressed memory, shock and hypervigilence dots I've joined, to anxiety's deciding to rear their head (to be moved through) and a few emotional moments to boot.
This is deep healing in the truth of it - raw, vulnerable and also...pretty funny in moments let's be real.
Disclaimer: it is important to work under the guidance of a homeopathic practitioner when it comes to healing in the way discussed in today's ep. Self-prescription of homeopathic medicine is absolutely not advised.
If you're interested in working with Liv (not a sponsored ep, I pay for my sessions!) check out her brilliant work here.
Feelings of impatience, urgency and rushing are coming up to be moved through - the Virgo South Node in Virgo Season is going to be pressing on the parts of ourselves that our pushing, striving and moving out of presence and into go, go, go.
The vibe check is asking us to acknowledge where in our lives we are placing unnecessary pressure or rushing, and to start considering where we can weave some slow, steady presence into our days in the lead up to the upcoming Eclipse portal.
Fresh off a whirlwind Sydney trip and my energy was WIPED! In this week's ep I share all of the ways I pick up the energetic pieces and tend to my own energy, as well as ways you can start to get to understand your own unique energetic essence more.

It's time to break down the beautiful qualities of this often misunderstood astro archetype. Yes, in her shadow Virgo can be the high-achiever, and pour from an empty cup - but her true gifts lie in her healing, her earth-goddess energy, and her ability to be of true service (to self and other).
As we shift out of Leo season, and into Virgo - where our current South Node lives until July next year - it's not only time to become aware of our own Virgo-esque shadows (like perfectionism, and stress overload) but to start to liberate these energies through our own favourite healing modalities and developing a new relationship with discernment.
Insight Timer meditation.
Today I share a huge double-win off the back of my homeopathic journey - both pertaining to my relationship with my body.
The first? I am back at the gym for the first time in almost ten years. This has been HUGE for me, and I breakdown exactly why in the ep and how the remedy I am taking unlocked so much healing for me here. Heads up, there is a slight reference to body dysmorphia.
The second? Well...let's just say there's a mask I am no longer wearing when it comes to my work...

Soulies it's a short and sweet one today because MERCURY IS DIRECT HALLELUJAH!
But there does seem to be a little bit of a cosmic-come-down this week. Exhaustion. Overwhelm. Sickness. Overcommitted.
The vibe this week is asking us to cancel our plans and get back into our bodies. Stop now so you can go later. (And be wary of rushing, overdoing and ramming our schedules with things - this could lead to silly mistakes or little accidents that could have been avoided.)
Enjoy this spoken-diary reflection on the week just past, including all the ways I used to spend celebrating my birthday in the past and why I much prefer a solo trip to the Writer's Fest these days!
I also share how I am feeling post traumatic Good Reads peeking (note to self: never again) and why I think I was able to move through it so quickly, even with it poking on every wound I have when it comes to shining and doing this work in the world.
The ep wraps with some of your beautiful birthday questions around what I feel 36 and the year ahead will bring.
08.08 and feeling great!
Yes it's my birthday, but that aside - this Friday is a super-activating portal of manifestation. Team that with an Aquarian Full Moon? You're set for a magic weekend Soulies! Let's make the most of it!
Join us in our Heart Space ceremony here.
I am ON ONE in a big way today Soulies, and to be honest I think this ep is a long time coming. Today I talk why you will never hear me refer to my work as "woo woo" or "New Age" (but why organised religion and mass mainstream patriarchal rhetoric wants you to keep using those terms for spiritual dilution and lack of credibility of our intuitive wisdom and ancient practices and wow I'm even on one in the show notes I need to stop...)
I break down ways we may be unknowingly buying into rhetoric designed to discredit spiritual power, and the ways we can start to take a stand (in even the simplest of ways).

The article by Mystic Medusa on Woo Woo (Wu) I mention.
This week feels a little rushed - like we feel like we're running out of time, but we're not. It's the perfect week to seek joy, lean into feelings of lightheartedness and check in with your breath while you're at it!
'Tis the season!
I'm unpacking all of the reasons you're likely not permitting yourself to take up space - from tall poppy syndrome and navigating covert friendships that cannot celebrate you, to imposter syndrome, which is really rooted in a fear of failure.
It's time to shine bright, baby.
You can read the entire chapter of SHINE BRIGHT in my new book SAYING YES TO YOU here.
You can leave an audio-book review on my first book PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST, beging them to get me back to record Book Two here.
Heads up, I cry a LOT this ep - we can obviously blame Cancer Season. This week I take you BTS following a New Moon ritual where I am forced to face-off with some deep wounding I've been carrying around my own experiences in motherhood - anxieties I hadn't realised I'd been carrying, and how I've had to be really honest with myself in how I want to pave the path forward for me and my little girl.
Trigger warning: this episode is a highly emotional one, and also mentions depression and anxiety, as well as emetophobia
Dust off the mic, and do whatever you have to do to step right into that spotlight you beautiful thing - because this season wants us ALL to shine!
Starting with a very funny, impromptu comedic Leo season skit (how timely!) and ending with a card pull from the Gaia Deck by Toni Carmine Salerno.
So we're loving the diary-style eps - say less Soulies!
This week I share how a homeopathic-triggered symbolic dream ended up with me processing some really heavy loads connected to my relationship with my body, my breasts, and what it's meant for me to be a woman in the body I've been given when it has been the target of abuse for most of my life.
Heads up - if you experience challenges with body dysmorphia or body image, then you may want to listen with discretion. I also cry and swear a lot but we're used to that by now, right?
The life changing loaf.
It's time to up the love for your tummies this week!
Physically you may be feeling reflux, bloating, gut imbalance or even antibiotic treatments that have lead to gut dysbiosis.
Energetically, we're being called to digest life more thoroughly.
Lots of tips and tricks shared here - as always, use discretion, and always seek medical advice for anything serious.
This week you're invited to experience my "spoken diary" - basically, I'm unpacking my week by speaking it all out with you, because I've BEEN places this week!
From kicking off a new homeopathy protocol, to uncovering deep-seated body image challenges that have only arisen since becoming a mother, to grieving my Uncle and everything that came up with that.
It's a fully-loaded one friends, with tears aplenty as I process in real time - but not without the lessons, ending with a beautiful reminder of what really matters.
Okay we need to slow TF down stat. Adrenals are maxing and we are looking at ending the year in high cortisol and burnout mode if we aren't taking action now. Consider this your forewarning!
Heads up friends, I am ON ONE today. Nothing gets me fired up or more passionate than talking about going after your dreams - your big, bold, unapologetic and inspired life.
But "HOW HOLLIE?!" I hear you cry. Don't worry Soulie, I have you covered. And not in a buzz word way either - I'm talking directly from 20 years of skin in the game.
Buckle up baby! Your Hollie pep talk is incoming!

Our first "official" What's The Vibe? mini-ep is back and it goes for exactly 11:11 which was absolutely not intended so I really don't need to say anything else.
But I will. Listen in for your vibe check for the week, especially if you've found urgency and impatience running the show.
I swear it's all in the name of integration!
This week we're talking kinesiology, with a focus on my very first session "back" this week after a two year kinesiology hiatus. What did I work on? What did we uncover? And why did that result in me audaciously sliding into a celebrity's DMs?!
The ep ends with the return of fan-favourite What's The Vibe? - we're talking a hot-tip for the Geminis, and a way to amplify your Cancer-season experience.
Sorry I went MIA for a bit there guys, my house was trying to kill me. But I'm back and better than ever - with a LOT of stories to show for it.
Today's ep is a deep dive into what it feels like when you realise you've been living in a haunted house for 4 years.
Trigger warning: this episode discusses mental illness and suicide ideation.
Buckle up friends, because we're about to go on a journey - the last 8 days (and counting) have been a mixture of chaotic highs and lows to say the least.
Listen in as Hollie shares exactly what went down in online forums critiquing her impossible breastfeeding journey, and the fact she hadn't had a pedicure before a red carpet event (yes...really) - and how she remained relatively intact (read: sane) amongst the polarising highs and lows.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What's the Vibe? The nodal shift - what does it mean, and how could we already be experiencing it?
Show Notes: There's an energy shift in the air - can you feel it? In two weeks, we will be moving from the nodal axis of Taurus and Scorpio (North and South) into Aries (North) and Libra (South).
But what does that even MEAN?! Don't worry - this ep covers all that and then some. Here's to energetic clarity for the coming weeks (and months, and year!)
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's hard to believe it's taken 6 months for an episode on intuitive development, but here we are!
Today Hollie shares a deep-dive into all things "beginner" for tapping into your own intuitive and potentially psychic wisdom, including sharing how she discovered she was psychic, and ways to access your own intuitive gifts, while also taking care of your energy in the process.

It's the season to wave those empath flags loud and proud, retreat into our hibernation -stations and take everything personally!
Joking friends, we love Cancer Season.
In this week's ep, Hollie dives deep into this sensitive, intuitive and maternal archetype - how it may show up for you over the coming weeks, why you might be feeling a little more sensitive than usual - and why all of this is a true gift when harnessed openly. Home cooks unite!
See omny.fm/listener for privacy information.
This week we dive into all things plant medicine - what it is exactly, and how to work with your medicine of choice in a way that is in deep reverence and embodied integrity to the plant (with a focus on cacao as the main example, given Hollie's experience as a cacao ceremonialist).
Maybe keep this one away from the kiddies - we discuss medicines including psychedelics, mushrooms, ayuascha and also - Hollie gets her passionate pants on, so expect a few swear words for extra effect.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hollie reflects on the past 18 months and how the nodal transit of Taurus North Node and Scorpio South Node is playing out in an embodied way now - Phoenix rising vibes anyone?! She then shares all things the upcoming Gemini New Moon and did someone say dreamy?! Magic is in the air this week - lap it up, Soulies!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Well, this is a biggie isn't it? In today's ep Hollie's brief to - herself - was to imagine you were sitting on her couch, cacao in hand, for a big, juicy catch up. And man, does she cover some ground.
Try to keep up as she shares:
- her recent bleed (read: period) - and the wisdom it held for her this cycle
- the unexpected emotional overwhelm her daughter's 18-month milestone brought up for her, and how she faced those moving parts
- the guilt we feel when we compare our challenges to people who have it "worse" and permission not to do this anymore
- the energetic overwhelm she's been experiencing this Gemini season - but how it's stemming from all the good things
- business life - what's been working, and where it's going, including some big financial decisions
- her not-so-new hobby - and a realisation of something that has always brought her joy
- Cancer in Chiron feels and how this is playing out in her life right now (self-mothering anyone?)
- a venty-vent around unsolicited DMs and a supercharged chat on all things boundaries (you'll probably get triggered if you're a people pleaser!)
Phew! You've been warned. Enjoy!!

Hollie's recent Sydney trip had her witness multiple occasions where misdirected anger lead to yelling, power-tripping and aggression - leaving her with a very heavy knot in her stomach the entire trip. (It was also an excellent trip, and this is not by any means an episode shitting on Sydney!) This is a piece speaking to collective energy when rage and aggression become normalised, and what to do when we notice anger arise in us personally, so that rather than misdirecting it ourselves, we move it through in a way that feels powerful and constructive.

It's a full moon in Sag this weekend and it's time for us to look at the lower expression of this archetype because herein lies the medicine of this beautiful lunar cycle. But before that, are you feeling a little "all over" with multiple tabs open and a sense of impending urgency every minute of the day? We can thank Gem-season for that. Also, do you know your ASC/DC (*not the band)? A little astro-insight into a key opposition in your natal chart.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's ep Hollie speaks to a much-requested topic on all things friendship. To be honest, expect chaos - including a song her and her bestie Leah wrote when they were 8, and friendship parallels drawn with the dating scene, of which Hollie has absolutely no experience in. She also tries her hand at audio-book recording, reading a snippet of her own book as a reference and honestly, who knows if you'll take anything away from this but at least you'll get some solid laughs!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Get your witty banter on, it's Gemini Season! Hollie shares all things navigating the (sometimes abrupt) shift from earthy, sensual Taurus, to airy, chatty Gemini. Think flirtation for fun, conversation for joy and - on a deeper level - uncovering the masks you wear that are no longer serving you.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week Hollie shares a very transparent "sneak peek" into her recent kinesiology session, with themes around being seen, and claiming recognition and cringe fame. She shares the stories and patterns re-written in the session, and the almost immediate post-session results received (including a very exciting piece on Mamamia, and a Big W poster!)

It's our final week of Taurus Season, Mercury has gone direct, we are out of the eclipse shadow and we end the week with a New Moon in Taurus - it's time to melt into the slow, surrender to the sensual and seep in reverence for the beauty of life.

This week, Hollie shares a contemplation she has been having for a while now: why do we feel the need to deflect the role luck plays in our lives? The constant stream of "I'm not lucky, I work really hard" commentary - while well-intended - also lends itself to a complete deflection of the fact that, to a large degree, luck, good fortune, privilege and chance all play a role in our lives - no matter how "hard" we work. And this isn't a bad thing at all. Let's reclaim our relationship with luck!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week Hollie channels the vibes around emergence from the Eclipse portal, and draws comparison to a "cosmic come down". She ends the ep with a beautiful card pull confirming we are exactly where we are supposed to be.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Trigger warning: this episode discusses body dysmorphia, and eating disorders. Listener discretion is advised
In today's episode, Hollie speaks directly from her heart into a piece she has been navigating unconsciously during her postpartum experience, that has come to light this Taurus Season. She shares her history of struggles with her body, especially as a big-busted woman, and what is stopping her from getting back in to modelling today (even though it is what she deeply desires).
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week Hollie breaks down exactly what to expect when the Scorpio Eclipse hits later in the week (note: do not fear! Empowered and liberated is the way!)
She covers the key flavours of the Taurus North Node and Scorpio South Node energies as we shift our way out of this transit: money talk, anyone?
As always, take these insights with a grain of salt and know that YOU are in the power seat of the energy this week, above all else. You've got this!

We're back!
After an unintentional extended season break, Soul Talk is back in a big way, with our bumper episode covering all of your favourites:
- What's The Vibe? Talking eclipse season, Mercury Retrograde and fear mongering to ignore on your social media
- The bee in Hollie's bonnet right now (it's a fiery one!) around all things masculine/feminine "traditional" gender roles, and why this is a conversation asking for far more nuance and depth than is currently being had online

Today Hollie shares Operation Life Force: her new approach to regaining life force energy after a month of very little of it. She shares what TF "Life Force" even is, and how she is choosing to cultivate more of it: by turning up the volume of her "life bringers" and turning down the volume of her "life takers".
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week's What's The Vibe is short and sweet: channelled wisdom starting with a call to slow, intentional energy usage, a reminder of what solstice actually means, and ending with a card pull warning of getting swept up in someone's empty promises. A bite-sized wisdom nugget to guide you into your week ahead with ease and grace.

Hollie shares the brutal truth behind what consistent sickness in March has taught her - did someone say burn out?
She shares with transparency the ongoing struggle of being a Stay At Home Mum, while also running a business - both from a place of necessity - and how the lack of space she has created for herself has come at a cost not only to her physical wellbeing, but to her friendships and quality of life.

This week we're talking ARIES SEASON baby! Happy New Astro year - can you feel that forward momentum calling? This week you'll get the Aries Season breakdown: including how to best cultivate an energy that is supporting your deepest wants, needs and desires - Aries domain, after all!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, Hollie dives into the energetics behind why it can feel so damn terrifying to actually pursue the big dreams and visions we hold. Covering Tall Poppy Syndrome, Imposter Syndrome, and the fear that comes with being a "shiny" target, Hollie's biggest takeaway is this: your dreams matter far more than the opinions of others.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
This week's what's the vibe is an intuitively guided message from Hollie as we head into the last full week of the astrological year. Themes include mental wellbeing, tending to our physical bodies and lightening the load of our loved ones this week (random acts of kindness, anyone?) She ends the episode with a (double) card pull...that is crazily accurate, and very affirming.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Note: if you're squeamish, maybe skip this one!
Today Hollie shares a (kind of funny, very messed-up) story of the lessons of a violent vomit sesh, brought on by a bunch of energetic practices...all in the name of embodiment!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this bumper What's The Vibe? ep, Hollie dives into why TF it feels like everything is tipped on its head right now, including:
- Virgo Full Moon vibes, and how to honour the last full moon of the astro year
- Saturn moving into Pisces and how this will impact us collectively, including her own personal predictions
- How to best show up for YOU when overwhelm is highly anticipated this week

TW: This is a very frank, open conversation about death and the grieving process, and how to show up as a "village" of support when the inevitable happens in our loved one's lives.

This week Hollie shares how the recent transition into Pisces energy may be playing out for you - not just this week, but for the coming weeks.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hollie shares two deeply moving and healing experiences she sat with this week: one that took place in a bodywork session, processing grief that was activated around her experience of pregnancy, and one that took place in a somatic therapy session that saw her in an autonomic nervous system response, releasing years and years of pent up trauma and adrenaline.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In today's episode, Hollie speaks freely into how 2022 impacted her, touching on a few key pieces she's never spoken into before, including:
- How the 2022 floods impacted her feeding experience
- How breastfeeding trauma is still playing out in her life today
- The challenges of new parenthood on a relationship
- Why 2023 feels worlds apart from 2022 and how she will create beautiful shifts stepping into FUN and JOY

In this episode, Hollie unpacks the (poignant) question: So, why isn't anyone talking about "this" (being the nuanced nature of birth, and postpartum - when it ain't pretty)?
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hollie is back in response to the overwhelming outpouring of love and questions she received from Part 1 and 2 of her pregnancy and birth experience.
In this episode, Hollie talks solo into her experience of the fourth trimester (note: it was not the "newborn bliss bubble" that so many speak to).
She also answers your questions, including what she would do differently next time, and how her journey makes her feel about future children.
TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is a highly emotional one, and includes indirect and direct reference to trauma associated with birth, breastfeeding, and mental illness including postpartum depression and complex PTSD. There are points in the episode where listeners may find Hollie's emotional state distressing. Listener discretion is advised.

Soul Talk is back with Season Two after a lengthy hiatus seeing Hollie transition from Maiden to Mother.
In this two-part series, Hollie sits opposite her friend and doula Zoe Bosco and unpacks everything from pre-conception to pregnancy, birth and beyond - the very first time they have sat and spoken to the entirety of the experience, since Hollie birthed her little girl in December 2021.
In Part One of this discussion, Hollie and Zoe speak directly to work completed together in the pre-conception phase, and during Hollie's pregnancy, as well as what that experience was like for Hollie as a first time mother.
In Part Two of this discussion, Hollie speaks candidly, in detail, of the birth of her little girl, including the triumphs, challenges and everything in between. She also touches briefly on early postpartum experiences.

Jess knows what it’s like to be outcast and shamed. In fact, in this interview her name has been changed because her story is one that is still polarising for her, and perhaps you listening. Feelings of guilt, shame and that lump-in-your-throat-chakra feeling, continue to run rife when she shares this part of her journey. Jess was the “other woman” in an affair - one that taught her much, left her questioning her spirituality and unravelled her to a point of starting anew. In this safe space Jess shares what this experience taught her, and the challenges that arise when you are labelled as the “other”. Name has been changed

Erin was raised by her mum, and her mum alone. It was just the two of them, no siblings, but that didn’t bother Erin - she had her fiery Sag mumma Deb showing her the ropes, encouraging her love of travel and teaching her all of life’s lessons. When Deb got sick, she kept the severity of it under-wraps - not wanting to interrupt Erin’s once-in-a-lifetime Europe trip. However, the trip was cut short despite Deb’s wishes, with Erin rushing home to be by her bedside and say goodbye. A heartbreaking story of grieving a parent when it feels far too early to be saying goodbye, Erin’s story teaches us how to transform grief into gratitude, the strength she cultivated through EFT, and the legacy Deb left behind that we can all live by.

Growing up in Northern Ireland, Paddy was privy to the energy that can occur through misdirected anger and hatred. Not a stranger to street fighting, violence and the ego-fuelled nature of being an adolescent in a violent community, how did Paddy manage to turn his whole life around? An inspiring tale of Paddy’s journey - from his upbringing in Derry, to following the “niggles” to Australia, to what happened in a breathwork circle in Mexico - and everything in between. Trigger warning - we briefly touch on suicide at the 19 minute mark.

For some of you, Tayla may be a familiar face. Whether you know of her or not is besides the point. In this firey, easily excitable convo (Leo meets Sag!) Tay shares a side of her that managers in the past deterred her from sharing: a real, spiritual, soulful and intuitive side, who frankly talks about her ability to feel spirits, with a refreshing pragmatism when it comes to what death can teach us about living.
Since recording, Tayla has launched her business Angel Energy Co - branching out of what the "mainstream" desire from her, and honouring her unique relationship with spirituality.
Trigger warning: this episode touches on death and spirits. Listener discretion is advised.

Until it all did. Sharni shares her courageous story of grief and loss, in birthing her firstborn Jai into a world he would never get to experience. And how, above all things, this experience connected her with spirit and love, more than anything ever has.
This episode is dedicated to Jai Pitman. x

Lily started her business at 22. She was living the high life, “partying like a rockstar” and trailblazing the talent-management industry. Then, her life changed. Lily had a serious accident and tore her spinal cord at 28 - her brain was literally being sucked down her spine. She lay wide awake during 4 failed spinal operations. For 14 months she couldn’t do anything but lie flat on her back - no pillow, no screen time, nothing but her mind… In the first episode of Soul Talk Lily shares how she got through an experience that would destroy even the most courageous. An inspiring tale of grit, resilience and hope.
