Survival mode shows up differently for everyone. In this episode of the podcast, I'm joined by Survivor Coach Caroline Brunne to chat about the healing journey, courage, vulnerability and permission to embrace all the parts of who you are when you have experienced childhood abuse, sexual abuse, or DFV.
Caroline will be a guest speaker at the upcoming Shine Fundraising Event on the Sunshine Coast, she is also an advocate, author and speaker to highlight issues and bring about policy change for survivors and works to open conversations that break the cycle.

Louise O'Reilly is a Warrwa-Noongar Aboriginal woman based in Boorloo (Perth). She’s a relentless force against the oppressive status quo. Fueled by her love for her children, she's on a mission to reshape the entrepreneurial world with inclusivity at its core.
In this conversation, Louise and I chat about embracing the learning journey that is being inclusive and how perfectionism does far more harm.
This was a truly powerful conversation and one that I encourage you to listen to and share with others.

Humans are really good at over complicating things.
Rather than trusting that intuitive nudge or idea and doing, the mind goes down the rabbit hole of what ifs, all that could fail, the uncertainty of the unknown, the fears.
In this episode, I explore what safety means in relation to your body and how learning to find it helps you stop overcomplicating things in your life.

We've all been there... start up a new routine, get in the groove with it and then at some point you find the habits or practices dwindling away.
But, what if instead of getting angry at yourself for "falling off the wagon" you instead asked yourself "what do you require now?"

Content Warning - Rape
This episode is an incredibly difficult one for me to share, but the time has come to give voice to an experience that for a long time I have not fully acknowledged for what it was. In this episode I share my own experience and the impact it has had on the way I show up in life and the limits I have placed on myself unknowingly.
Due to the topic content of this episode, I invite you to take radical self-responsibility and love and know that if this topic could be potentially triggering for you to then give this one a miss until a time where you feel ready and safe to listen in (if ever!). Taking care of yourself is paramount!

Welcome back!
After a hiatus for life to weave its wonders, I am back with all new episodes of the Calm in the Chaos podcast.
This season I'm going deep and reflecting on changes, transformations, and lessons learnt in life. So it was a fitting place to start with "Growing Through The Void." Because that is what much of the past few months has felt like, a void, a space between, weird, uncomfortable, intriguing, awe-filled, and deeply grounding at times.

One of my favourite practices for coming back to a space of calm. As with any mindfulness or meditative practices ensure that it is safe for you to practice, e.g. not practicing while driving as it could be distracting or dangerous to do so.
What does calm look like and feel like for you? Calm can be a feeling or a trait. Take a moment to connect in with your own definition of calm in this episode of Calm in the Chaos.
