In this deeply moving episode, I sat down with the beautiful Nicky Kiel @nicky.kiel of Kiel x VRTUS @kiel.pilates to talk about love, loss, healing and the power of movement and meaning.
Nicky’s story is as heartbreaking as it is empowering. After a high-flying career in marketing and welcoming her first child, Axel, her life changed forever with one unexpected phone call: her beloved mum had taken her own life. What followed was a year of navigating grief, shock and survival while also being pregnant with her daughter, Imogen.
This conversation is an honest and soul-stirring look at how we move through pain, how trauma cracks us open and how healing isn’t linear but always possible.
In this episode, we explore:
✨ Nicky’s journey from corporate marketing to conscious movement
✨ Navigating the unimaginable, losing her mum to suicide
✨ Coping with deep grief while preparing to welcome new life
✨ The healing power of Pilates and mindful movement
✨ A powerful spiritual awakening through a Medium
✨ How her studio Kiel x Vrtus became a space of community and transformation
✨ The role of sound baths, EFT and other alternative healing modalities
✨ How physical movement supports mental well-being
✨ Creating balance and flexibility as a mother, businesswoman and healer
✨ Encouragement to stay open to your own unique healing path
Nicky is a radiant soul, and her courage to share so openly is a gift and will hopefully support others on their journey.

026: How to Change our Limiting Beliefs and the Stories we are telling Ourselves
I sat down with Nat Bristowe @nat_bristowe_coaching to talk all things mindset and empowerment.

We also talked about Tim's journey and how it unfolded to become one of the most sought after Vedic Meditation teachers in Australia and so much more.
Tim is the most beautiful soul, an absolute master in his field and his gentleness, humbleness and wisdom shines through everything he says and does.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to look into Vedic Meditation and how it can support you along your journey. I know it certainly has intrigued me on a deeper level and I am excited to dive in.

We are exploring how Mikey's personal work benefits the teams and organisations he is working with and how it is all intrinsically linked.

I sat down with Igor Kreyman @iamigorkreyman to talk about the magic that happens when we look into each other's eyes.
We are exploring the fact that eye-gazing has profound physiological as well as psychological benefits and discuss why it can be so challenging for some to look into someone else’s eyes.
We are talking about Igors journey of how eye-gazing led him to create The Human Connection Movement @thehcmovement, what The Human Connection Method involves and how people of all ages and from all walks of life can benefit from this simple yet profound technique.
In his first experience of eye-gazing, Igor felt the beginning of a deep coming home to himself because he was seeing the reflection of himself in the other person's eyes. Igor is a warm-hearted soul who shares beautifully how the work that he has created can support others in finding their way home to themselves.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to look into someone's eyes and see what happens. Gaze with your partner, your mum, your best friend and see how you can transform your relationship as well as yourself.

I sat down with Marieke @marieke.loves.to.draw to talk about her journey through Depression and Anxiety.
We are talking about how life knocked her down when she was at her happiest and how she has found her way back from depression and anxiety into a life that she is grateful to live.
We are exploring the fact that living your purpose can sometimes come at a huge cost and how Marieke used her own experience to write the ‘Het Grote Depri Doe-Boek’ - currently in dutch, english version coming soon - to support those who are going through a difficult time.
Marieke is such a beautiful soul who opens up and shares very vulnerably her own experience of how difficult it can be to see the light at the end of the tunnel but that it’s always worth it.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to talk more openly about mental health issues that affect yourself or your loved ones. Only by breaking down the stigma will we be able to really tackle these issues in a more open an honest way.

I sat down with Dr. Erin Hawken @erin_hawken to talk all things chiropractic.
In this episode we are talking about what chiropractic is and how we can use it to support us holistically in our health, both physically as well as mentally. We are exploring how chiropractic can support you through pregnancy and how it can support both you as well as your babies to stay clear and connected.
We are talking about how the spine is literally the motor for your brain that carries all the information up into the brain so it can see what’s happening on the inside. From then it can make changes and respond. We are talking about this internal GPS system, what happens if it goes online, what to do to keep it online and how it will make your life more enjoyable.
Erin is the most amazing Chiropractor and she is such a beautiful, caring and nurturing soul who holds an incredible amount of depth and knowledge in her field and practices with an immense sense of love and passion to support people from all walks of life on their journey to wellbeing.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to start asking questions about your own health and if potential current symptoms are really 'normal' and if your body could be supported to heal them.

I sat down with Brock Bowen @iambrockyb to talk all things flow.
We are talking about how to live life in flow and to create our own magic.
We are talking about Brock’s life and his journey, how he learned to be in flow and manifest all the things in his life that are important to him. Brock also opens up about how starting a family has challenged his Peter Pan status and how he adapted to being in flow as a dream team of 4.
We are exploring what potentially can hold us back from living our own dreams and what you can do to start creating your own magic.
This is such an interesting conversation. Ever since I have known Brock, life just seemed so easy for him. Life just flows. Things show up for him in unexpected ways so it was amazing to hear some of his stories and what you can achieve and create when you are capable of asking the right questions from the right place and deeply listen to yourself.

I sat down with Brandon Srot to talk about all things Trauma.
We are talking about what comes to mind when people think of Trauma, how we define it and what it really means? We are exploring big T traumas and little t traumas and the Bottom-Up approach that Brandon is using when working with his clients. We are talking about how you know that you are carrying Trauma and how it can potentially hold you back in life.
Working with people from all walks of life, Brandons immense knowledge around Trauma and Grief as well as his empathetic nature allows him to support people when they need it most.
Inspired by questions of human existence, the meaning of life and purpose, Brandon welcomes people on a journey of discovery and growth.
This is such an important conversation to have. So many of our day to day issues can be linked to previous trauma that is unresolved and we need to normalise the conversation so people who are struggling can feel more free and supported to speak out and look for professional help.

I sat down with Laura Pike from Flourish Lane Coaching @flourishlanecoaching to talk about all things holistic coaching.
We are talking about Laura’s holistic approach of coaching and the different elements and methods that she is using in her coaching practice. We are exploring Positive Psychology, Emotional Clearing and her work with The Spiral.
Working with actors, creatives, mums and anyone who wants to make a difference in their lives, her empathetic nature allows her to provide a nurturing space to help people release emotional conditioning and achieve what they desire in the areas of life most important to them.
Laura is such a beautiful soul who feels called to help people who desire to embody deeper levels of authenticity, self-love, self-worth and self-awareness while achieving their creative dreams.
This is an incredibly open and honest conversation. I walked out of my conversation with Laura wanting to keep working on myself. I hope this episode will inspire you to do the same.

009: How Are You? The Importance of Checking In
I sat down with Lockie Cooke @lockiecooke from @_iyarn_ to talk about the importance of checking in with each other.
Mental Health and Wellbeing are such an integral part of us and we need it at least as much as our physical health in order to function well on a day to day basis. So why is there still a stigma attached to mental health and wellbeing and how do we integrate this conversation into our everyday lives?
We are talking about why Lockie created iYarn, what the platform offers and why Lockie is so passionate about supporting the conversation that is so desperately needed.
Lockie holds a wealth of knowledge and is incredibly passionate about supporting people to start a conversation, so we can support each other through the tough times while checking in with each other on living the best version of your life.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to go out and ask your people the question: ‘How are you?’. Really listen and hold space for what they are willing to share.
R U Okay Day is coming up on the 9th of September 2021 and this is such an incredibly important conversation to have. We are living in some very unpredictable and challenging times and checking in with each other and being there for each other is more important than ever.

I sat down with Dan Kurlapski from @yes_and_co to talk about all things misidentification and the big question ‘Who am I?’ How do we go from becoming somebody to letting go of all of that and finding our way back to our true essence, our true self?
We are talking about how important it is to be present in the here and now, that reality is constantly moving and why we still feel empty when we are reaching our goals. We are discussing the ego construct and what changes when you can start living from a state of love rather than a state of ego.
Dan is such an amazing human, holding a wealth of knowledge and wisdom being so immensely passionate about helping others to find their way back to themselves. He believes in connecting the human with their truest expression of Self, building their capacity to serve the collective from a healthy, embracing and thriving state whilst having a regenerative influence on the planet.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to ask yourself the question: ‘Who am I?’ and to listen deeply to what is already inside of you, so you can start peeling back the layers to find your way back to your true self.
This is an incredibly deep and eye-opening conversation. I walked out of my time with Dan wanting to know more and being excited about exploring my truest nature. I hope this episode will inspire you to do the same.

I sat down with Briony Benjamin from Social Parade to talk about how being diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at the age of 31 has changed her life and what she has learned coming out the other side.
In this episode we are talking about Briony’s story. How her life changed over night from being a successful Executive Producer for Mamamia to being diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma throwing her a curveball that she did not see coming.
We are talking about Briony’s diagnosis, her journey through Chemotherapy, what got her through this very challenging time and what she has learned along the way.
What is important when you get the worst news of your life? What is important when you suddenly don’t know how much longer you have on this planet. Briony is opening up about her journey, sharing very openly, honestly and raw what it was that helped her during this very difficult time of her life.
Briony has captured her journey all along and her video ‘You only get one life’ has been seen over 1.2 Million times. She has also just written her first book ‘Life is Tough But So Are You’ which is available for pre-order on Booktopia and Amazon and will launch in Australia in August 2021.
Briony is an incredible human and I really hope that her experience, what she has learned along the way and what she is sharing with us now will help you along your journey. The lessons can be applied in life overall.

006: Naturally Successful
I sat down with Ingrid Messner to talk about her new book ‘Naturally Successful’.
In this episode we are talking about self-awareness, why burn-out happens way too often and how to avoid it, as well as what we can all learn from indigenous cultures all around the world - to live a naturally successful life, both professionally, as well as personally.
Ingrid has such a deep knowledge of what it takes to be naturally successful and how we can all achieve a good balance while creating positive impact in the world.

005: About Consciousness and the Next Phase of Human Evolution
I sat down with Sara de Clercq from YES& to talk all things consciousness and the next level of human evolution.
In this episode we are talking about integral theory & coaching, the ins and outs of the stages of consciousness by Ken Wilber, both from an individual as well as a collective point of view, the levels of development and the difference between growing up and waking up in human evolution for a a regenerative human presence on this planet.
We are talking about how the re-framing of challenges into opportunities can help us to learn from those moments and grow as a person. We are discussing how the more self work we do, the less conditioning our children will bring into this world, why it is so important to live life in the present and why we should all strive to live our own truth.
Sara is such a beautiful human and she holds an incredible amount of depth and knowledge across so many areas in this realm.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to explore your own consciousness, where you are currently sitting and if, where you would like to actively grow to in this life?
This is an incredibly deep and at times complex conversation. I certainly walked out of my time with Sara with a better understanding of myself and others and I hope this episode will support you to do the same.
Imagine a kinder world, one where we see everyone and everything as alive and evolving, where love and joy are the feelings that prevail.

I sat down with Kristina Freeman from Grow your Mind to talk all things mental health and wellbeing for children.
In this episode we are talking about about mental health and wellbeing in children. We're talking about why it is so important to educate and teach our children from a very young age to talk about their feelings and emotions. We are talking about how we can best do this and how our children can teach us a thing or two in return. And you will find out what elephants, guard dogs and other animals have to do with it all.
Kristina has a deep understanding and knowledge of how to talk to children about mental health and wellbeing. Kristina has also co-developed tools on how to teach children the right strategies to build resilience.
I really hope that this conversation is inspiring you to talk to your children openly and honestly about those topics and to open up the conversation in your home even though it isn't always easy to do. Don't be scared of it, step into this space and remember that you are doing it to give your children the best possible way to deal with potential mental health and wellbeing issues that they might cross paths with in their life. Start teaching them from a very early age how to deal with their emotions, how to deal with their feelings and how to build resilience and practice tools to get out of challenging times.
This is such an incredibly important conversation to have. We can all do our bit to raise our next generation to be able to talk about mental health and wellbeing the way we talk about physical wellbeing. Imagine a generation where it is normal to be vulnerable, honest and open about the struggles that most people go through at some point in their lives.
I also hope that this episode inspires you to start showing vulnerability and openness. If we are confident to step into that space, our children will feel far more inclined to do so as well.

003: Remembering Nature
I sat down with David Pointon to talk all things nature.
In this episode we are talking about how we are all profoundly connected with nature and how it effects us physically as well as mentally and emotionally. We are talking about our relationship with nature, our unique ways of being connected to it, why people think they may have lost their connection to nature and how we can regain this beautiful relationship that should come very natural to all of us.
We are also diving into David’s unique experience of going to India for 6 months and how spending time in nature - and having some profound spiritual experiences - has helped him work on his inner nature as well.
This is such an open, honest and raw conversation and David brings so much wisdom and knowledge to the table. I hope that you will be able to take away a few key points of wisdom for your own life and how you can support your relationship with nature.
