Grab your headphones, get comfortable, and join me for a chat. We need to talk ... because the world needs what you've got.

This episode is for you.

This episode is your invitation to opt out of the lies you’ve been told about what your journey ‘should’ look like. Debunk and unpack these lies with me, so that you can continue on your own terms, in your own time, and in a way that works for you.
Please do excuse some of the sections of this episode where the numbers are a little all over the place. My brain was addled with a cold, but I promise you the content still rocks!
If you’ve followed my work for a while, you probably know that patience is not my strong suit. It’s one of my big life lessons when it comes to ‘things that don’t come naturally, but make a positive difference to my experience’. If you wish it was all done by yesterday, then this episode is for you.
What if you’re suffering emotional distress about ‘failing’, when it’s exactly that failure that is redirecting you to your future success? This is the question I’m posing in today’s episode, the collective answers to which I hope help you powerfully reframe your current experience on your journey.
So, you want to write a book, hey? I get asked about book publishing so often that I thought I would summarise what I’ve learned about publishing through five books so far. I hope it helps to get your book out into the world!
It takes an incredible amount of courage to get from a beginning to a middle, and it takes even more courage to stay in the middle to do the work. In this episode, I’m shining a light on the middle-y bit of the vision that you’re creating and the goals that you’re working on. Need the inspiration and motivation to keep going? This is it.
Join me for a discussion on self-trust and the power of believing in yourself for moving forward. We dive into how to develop self-trust and how we cross our own boundaries to figure out how to come back to self-trust.
This episode is for you if you’re feeling very strongly right now that you should just give up on your goals. It’s the reminder that you might very well need about what’s in store for you, and how it might just be better than you can ever imagine.
In this episode, I’m reflecting on my progress and process over the span of creating 5 books and 4 podcasts and sharing with you 30 things I know now, that I wish I knew at the beginning of it all.
This episode will help you become a detective for the alignment in your business and life – where things are working, and where they are not. Feeling like you’re operating in a way that is not taking you in the direction you truly want to go? This episode is for you.
This is the third episode of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage. In this episode, we’re looking at the first foundation of overcoming self-sabotage: knowing exactly what your reasons are. We also look at the emotional part of your brain (referred to as your elephant). Wondering if self-sabotage is a problem for you and want to get a taste of what’s in the course? This episode is for you.
This is the second of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage.

Wondering if self-sabotage is a problem for you and want to get a taste of what’s in the course? This episode is for you.
This is the first of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage.

In a world that gets evermore demanding and complex, you don’t have to look far to see crises occurring near you, if they’re not happening directly to you. Because life can get, well, life-y, I share with you an excerpt from my first book, Be Happy: 35 Power Methods for Personal Growth and Well-Being with tips on how to cope when it all becomes A. Lot.
There’s something you have been saying you want to do for quite some time now. But you’re not doing it. And it’s frustrating you, but that frustration hasn’t been the motivator you need to take action. In this episode, I’ll show you how to figure out if it’s self-sabotage that’s the problem, or if the goal is jus not a great for you.
Explore the prison of perfectionism with me in this episode where I share with you an excerpt from my first book, Be Happy: 35 Power Methods for Personal Growth and Well-Being. Shackled by the hope that if you just do it perfectly then you’ll be okay? This episode is for you.
Who’s doing the talking in your head? Is it the parts of you that are helping you move forward, or the parts of you that are attempting to hold you back because it feels safer and more comfortable? What if you’re not sure of the difference between fear, intuition, and helpful encouragement? Then this episode is for you.
It can be a struggle trying to deal with the long-term effects of trauma and I have experienced this first-hand. We can’t just delete these memories, so today’s episode is about my personal process for coping with some of the long-term affects of previous trauma.
This episode is all about how you can make those self-supporting habits stick and how we can overcome the self-sabotage and shameful self-talk when we hit a fork in the road and we don’t end up sticking with this new habit but instead end up doing things the ‘old way’.
Following on from last episode’s discussion on the counterintuitive path to happiness, let’s explore the science of happiness and audit whether you have the ingredients in your life that the research encourages us to have in order to flourish and thrive.
I don’t blame you if the word happiness ignites complex feelings within you that are anything but happy. The #happiness focus that we have as a society appears to be missing the mark with our individual and collective mental health. I want to show you another way to move into well-being rather than listening to the myths around being happy.
This episode is for you if you’re contemplating change in your career, work, or business. Rather than avoid thinking about it, I invite you to join me in this process for figuring out if change is necessary or not, and what to do then.
This episode is dedicated to how hard you’re trying. It’s a prayer for you to offer yourself when times are challenging, and you may forget to give yourself credit. It’s a prayer of recognition, self-kindness, gentle encouragement, from you to yourself.
6 weeks ago, I made a commitment to myself that I was going to become Indistractable. That I would take back my control over my time, rather than being a slave to the schedule. This episode explores how it’s working out, and how it’s changing my life.
I’m about to embark on writing my next book (eeeek!). I used to hold all the responsibility on my shoulders for coming up with ALL the ideas. Now, I embrace a little woo-woo to help me create, and I want to show you how doing so has transformed my process and offer you some reflection points to help you get started.

The practice of embodied presence is a powerful form of mindfulness. I discussed how we can bring this practice into our creativity and our everyday life with performer and embodied presence, Nilusha Dassenaike.

Listen to this episode to find out how we both moved through it to thrive again.
I’m chatting with one of my favourite indigenous creators in this episode: Alicia Johnson. Alicia’s work has been so incredibly valuable to me as I’ve transformed my relationship with my fat body, and we talk in depth about the intersectionality in her experience as a fat, black female in Australia. Please note that part of Alicia’s work is to reclaim the word ‘fat’ as simply a descriptor, without negative connotations attached to it. I intentionally use this word comfortably now, thanks to Alicia’s teachings.
In this episode, I’m chatting with the brilliant Dr Anika Molesworth about climate courage. Anika is a farmer, scientist and storyteller. She has been widely recognised for her work in agricultural and food systems and generating climate change awareness. Her awards include Young Farmer of the Year (2015) and Young Australian of the Year, New South Wales Finalist (2017). Anika is passionate about ensuring the best possible future for the planet, people and the food on our plates.
In this episode, I’m chatting with the brilliant Ali Daddo about menopause (and my sore boobs), setting boundaries to support the creative process, and she generously coaches me on setting boundaries when developing a media profile. This episode is a must-listen because Ali Daddo is such a beautiful human with such wisdom to share.
In this episode, I’m introducing you to my Integrator, Leanne. We’re chatting about all things outsourcing and hiring and why the benefits far outweigh the financial, emotional, and time costs for creating a business of ease and flow and a life of freedom.

Imposter syndrome and a national TV appearance – yep, it’s happening. I might be petrified, but I’m not letting imposter syndrome derail my work … and I don’t want you to either!
This episode is devoted to those of you that are being brave when no one knows about it. It’s short and sweet … the inspiration you need to keep going, even when no one sees your courage or how hard you’re trying. I see you.

Hi, lovely ones. Welcome to episode number 39. Today, I'm sharing with you an episode that features a conversation I had with someone I love dearly, an incredible woman by the name of Mish Pope. Mish is a life coach and she had a podcast called In Her Own Way.
She's currently pivoting and redesigning her life as we speak. So that podcast is no longer up. But I'm lucky enough to have the audio of this phenomenal conversation that I had with her on all things courage, worthiness and hope. And I want to share with you the space that we created together. I loved this conversation so much, and I hope that you enjoy it too.
Hi lovely ones Welcome to Episode 38. I'm honoured to share with you today a conversation that I had with Nikki McCann on her podcast called The Dear Mama Project. Nikki is a matrix science educator and women's life cycle guide. The Dear Mama Project is a space that she created to help women becoming mothers have a soft landing place to explore their own transformation in this new maternal world that we find ourselves in when we have kidlets. Nikki and I spoke about worthiness and how we define our self worth when we become mothers, and self kindness and self kindness practices that we can integrate into our daily habits to be able to come back to ourselves, especially during the initial periods of motherhood. I loved this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Hi, lovely ones. Welcome to episode number 37. And in this episode, I'm so excited to share with you a conversation that I had with just one of the most remarkable women.
I have the honour to call a friend, Julie Parker. I spoke with Julie on her podcast the Priestess podcast about all things courage and fear. And I spoke about my experience with anxiety and we got real about what it's like to face fear on a daily basis, even when you're out there helping other people do the same thing.
In this episode, I wanted to share with you a really special conversation I had back in 2019 with one of my favourite people that I've ever met across the internet. Kelsey Murphy. Kelsey is the host of the whiskey & work podcast. She's a business and life coach.

In this episode, I’m talking about the complexities of boundaries in business, specifically boundary creep, boundary errors, and boundary violations. If you struggle with boundaries in your work or business, and notice that more often than not, other people seem to walk all over your boundaries or try to tell you what your boundaries should be, then this episode is a must-listen for you.
In this episode, you’ll meet Olivia and discover why you don’t need a lucky break to start your business, or jump on your next big brave thing.
If you’re waiting for the perfect time, or the right sign, or your lucky break before you take action, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I talk about the benefits of getting clay in your hair, nose and ears. I promise it’s less confusing than it sounds in the context of the time I became addicted to overachieving and chose pottery as a way to reconnect with joy! If you find it hard to step away from your to-do list, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I want to introduce the power of launching from a place of ease and flow, rather than hustle and ground.
What would it look like if you weren’t exhausted and burnt out at the end of your next launch?
What if you felt energised by the process rather than drained?
I’m going to let you in on my process for thriving through launching and making space for intentional recovery.

Welcome to Episode 21 lovely ones. I'm talking with Georgie Collinson. In this conversation about living a brave life alongside fear, doubt and self-sabotage. I talk a lot about my personal journey in this chat, and how I use courage as a foundation to face challenges without getting paralysed.
Georgie Collinson is an anxiety mindset coach, a gut health expert and nutritionist. After years of struggling with her own anxiety in her early 20s, she discovered an effective holistic approach and developed the anxiety reset method, a system that considers anxiety from the thoughts you think the food you eat, the state of your gut health, and your hormones and lifestyle.
In this conversation, I'm talking with Danielle Brooker on being human, discomfort as a necessity and living bravely. Danielle Brooker is a joy coach, working with highly ambitious stressed-out women in their 30s who are stuck at a crossroads.
In episode 19, we’re following on from episode 18, and talking about fears in business. In episode 18, I discussed all the fears that have paralysed me, and how they didn’t at all warrant the level of fear I experienced (hello, anticipatory anxiety – stop telling lies to me!). In this episode, I want to talk about the things in business that I should have been scared of, but haven’t been, because I didn’t fully understand the consequences of those things at the time. This is a powerful episode if fear is holding you back in business.
In this episode, we’re going back to fear: specifically, the fears I’ve had in business (and how they’ve never ended up warranting the level of anxiety I’ve experienced). If you feel that your business or creativity is sometimes defined by fear, this is for you. I’m going to put your fears to rest by showing you how my fears actually worked out!
Welcome to Episode 17 of the podcast. Today, I want to share with you a conversation that I had with Rachel Gadiel.
In this episode, Rachel and I had a great conversation about what it means to dive into the true measures of happiness and the key areas that we need to focus on to create a life of fulfillment and purpose. Rachel is an empowerment coach who guides women to realign with their authentic selves while cultivating inner confidence and self belief so that they can live their true purpose with joy ease and flow. She encourages women to transform their relationship with themselves, ignite their personal power and redefine their life story into one they love.
Welcome to Episode 16 of the podcast. I'm so grateful that you're here with me today. As part of the podcast every now and again I want to share with you some really powerful conversations that I've had with various people. And today, we're going to hear from Ruben Chavez. You might know him if you follow Think Grow Prosper on Instagram. It's a huge platform. He's a writer. Personal Development educator and also the host of the Think Grow podcast.
The foundation of this episode is how we find a way to navigate through times that are difficult, disappointing, or don’t meet our expectations. In other words, how to sit with the discouraging parts of life, rather than running away from them, or numbing out, or shutting down in some way. In this episode I’m going to take you through some strategies to be able to approach the abrasive parts of life in a way that empowers you to process what’s happening and to move forward in your own time.
Welcome to episode 14, When your people don’t understand your journey. In this episode, we’re going to explore what it means for your relationships and friendships when you’re in the process of expanding, changing, and transforming yourself. Because the thing is that growth is uncomfortable, and not necessarily just for you. I wish there was a way that we could guarantee that every time we feel uncomfortable – even when we’re choosing that discomfort – that our people will gather around us with just the right words, advice, and encouragement to help us continue moving forward. But it’s not always that easy. In this episode, I’ll give you some of my best tips for navigating your way through rough patches of disconnection with your people.
In this episode, I continue my conversation with Nyssa, my wife, about how we support each other as creatives. I love this episode because it allowed us to really celebrate each other as partners in a couple who share big dreams. We talk about the practical strategies we use to encourage, support, and have each other’s backs. Enjoy!
I feel like it’s fitting that the first episode I do of this podcast where I’m not talking to myself is a conversation with my wife – the most important person in my world. A follower asked me recently if I would do an episode on how to grow together as a couple. I have extended that a little to how Nyssa and I grow together as a couple who are each creative (Nyssa is a musician, I am an author). In this episode, we talk about the evolution of ourselves as creatives and what that has meant for our relationship. Enjoy!
In this episode, we’re going to get intimate with your inner critic: why it’s there, why you can’t shut it up, and what you can do about it so that it doesn’t stop you In your tracks. Spoiler alert: it’s not about deleting this voice from your internal experiences (I wish it was that easy!). But there is a way that you can release yourself from its clutches, and that’s what we’ll explore in this episode.
In this episode, we’re tackling the task of figuring out what your ‘thing’ is. Sometimes called your passion or purpose, we're going to dive into the monumental feat that is deciding what you want to do with your life. Spoiler alert: I’m going to debunk the myth that we must have a passion or purpose in order to live a brave and meaningful life. But while doing that, I’m also going to give you my top 5 tips for figuring out what you want to do (for those of you that love instructions and steps like me!)
In Episode 9, I dive into how my creative process has evolved over time (years, that is). I wanted to reflect on how damaging my creative process used to be, simply because I made it so, and how different it is now since I’ve consciously chosen not to buy into the idea that creating must be H.A.R.D. Here’s to ease, patience, and trust.
In Episode 8, we get real about business numbers – mainly because I’m sick to death of hearing people only tell part of the story when it comes to business and revenue! So, I want to share with you the numbers that have gotten me to where I am so that you can be realistic when it comes to your own offerings and expectations in business.
In Episode 7, I talk what it means to seek permission (and how this can keep you stuck), as well as what it means to free yourself to live on your own terms by giving yourself permission )rather than waiting around for someone else's approval). Most importantly, I have some suggestions on the 10 areas where you can give yourself permission right now that will boost your well-being, connection with yourself, and alignment with your values.
In Episode 6. I talk about how the life and business timelines we create for ourselves. (Thanks to our conditioning and exposure to culture and media) keep us stuck. Stop us from celebrating our progress, and result in bitterness and disappointment. Most importantly. I have some suggestions on what you can do instead of tying yourself in knots about what you should have achieved by the time you’re 30! Main Points: ·Life timelines are made up of a series of significant events marked by an arbitrary age in our heads. Usually chosen unconsciously as a result of the conditioning from our culture. The messages we received from parents and educators in childhood. and the stories we absorb from TV, movies, and the media at large. ·Life and business timelines screw up our ability to let life unfold. They feed into our need for control. They leave no room for possibility. They leave no room for the things that are even better than we can imagine. And therefore, have no way of planning, let alone making room for. Instead of wrapping your expectations around your life and/or business timelines. I want you to do this instead: 1.

But the thing is, perfection is impossible. It’s not there for no reason, though. In this episode we’ll look at the purpose of perfectionism, and the 5 steps you can take to release it.

Here’s what I know (and what I don’t know) about letting go to free yourself to live forward.
