Talking is Therapy, and Listening is Power. Sharing real, vulnerable, and empowering conversations about life, growth and the human experience, to inspire you to lead with courage, embrace the chaos, and stop letting fear get in the way of living your dream life. The less alone we realise we are in the hard times, the more we see how capable we are of going after what we want, not when we’re ready or perfect, but right now. Listening shows us that the people living their dreams are human too: they have their own doubts, struggles, and setbacks, but keep moving anyway. IG @christinapengilly

    #13 | Why Not You? How to Back Yourself & Build the Life You Actually Want

    Thank you for being here ❤️ My Protein Ball Ebook is HEREEE! Linked here xx This episode is for the person who keeps watching other people live the life they want and telling themselves it's just not for them. The one who has the dream, the desire, the knowing - but keeps waiting for permission that is never coming. Today's conversation is a simple but life changing question. Why not you? We get into: Why seeing someone else achieve your goal is actually evidence that it's possible for youThe difference between comparing yourself to someone's step ten when you're at step oneWhy your dreams are absolute - and what that actually meansMoving with conviction without arrogance - the difference and why it mattersWhy closed mouths don't get fed and asking for what you want is a skill not arroganceHow to stop apologizing for your ambition to make other people comfortableWhy the people meant for your journey will never be intimidated by your growthWanting a different life but still seeking approval from people committed to staying the sameSelf belief is built through evidence not intentionWhy most people quit right before the snowball starts rollingThe biggest risk in your life right now - and it's not what you thinkI also get really honest about the seasons where I played small, diluted what I wanted and waited for permission I never needed in the first place. You can either choose discomfort now or regret later. Either way you are going to feel it. So you may as well feel it moving towards the life you know you are here to live. This is the episode I want you to relisten to. Write notes. Put them on your wallpaper. Send it to someone who needs it.

    #12 | Overcome Anxiety & Overwhelm to Achieve Your Dreams

    Thank you for being here!! This episode is for the person who has been sitting on their dreams for TOOOO long. The one who knows they are capable of so much more but keeps waiting for the right time, the right feeling, the right moment of confidence (Spoiler - the 'right time' is never coming) Today I am expanding on the quote that genuinely changed my life and the way I relate to anxiety, overwhelm and fear forever. Ambition without action equals anxiety. We get into: Why you are not anxious because of what you have to do - but what you are yet to doThe difference between temporary relief through procrastination and actual relief through actionWhy your brain exaggerates every task and how to stop letting it run the showThe rubbish bin analogy that will change the way you think about mental load foreverHow open loops are stealing your capacity to go after what actually mattersWhy anticipation is almost always more painful than the realityThe 15 minute rule that will get you started on anythingA practical brain dump exercise to clear your mental load todayWhy confidence is just competence - and competence only comes through doingI also get really honest about my own experience! This episode is not here to make you feel good for ten minutes and then go back to doing nothing. I want you to leave this one and actually move. So consider this your sign. If there is someone in your life who needs a loving kick up the bum - share this one with them. And if this lands for you I would love to hear from you.

    I'm so happy you're here! This episode is for anyone who is in a middle ground right now. Anyone who knows they need to make a decision but is terrified of what it means about them. Anyone who feels like they are going backwards. Anyone who is sitting in the shame of feeling like they have failed. This one is for you. I am sharing the full story of walking away from my business of three and a half years at the height of it, the internal rock bottom that led me there, and the decision that every single part of me did not want to make - going back to a 9 to 5. We get into: Why I walked away from full time self employment after three and a half yearsThe ego, the shame and the fear of feeling like I was going backwardsWalking into Goodlife gym and asking for a job with no planHow going backwards became the absolute slingshot to everythingGrowing from 5k to 27k followers while working a 9 to 5The power of radical honesty with your communityWhy I asked a simple question at mini golf that changed everythingIf you don't ask, the answer is always no If you are in a season of feeling lost, defeated, confused or just knowing that there is more for you - I promise you this episode is going to land exactly where it needs to.

    A note before you press play ❤️ **This episode speaks openly about unexpected pregnancy, conception, and fertility. If you are currently on a trying to conceive journey, first, I want you to know I see you, love you, and I am sending you so much strength. This conversation is not meant to minimise the complexity, heartbreak or longing that can come with that path. If today isn't the day for this one, save it, come back when it feels right. And if it is, I truly believe there is so much hope and healing in Tori's story for you. This episode also touches on mental health, suicidal ideation and dark moments. If you are struggling please know you are not alone. Lifeline 13 11 14 🤍 In this episode I am joined by my incredible friend and one of the realest humans on the internet misssss @ttoristory!Tori is 29 weeks pregnant with her miracle baby boy, and today she is sharing everything. Her journey as an elite acrobat, her PCOS diagnosis at 18, the years of working on her health naturally, and the pregnancy that absolutely nobody, including her, saw coming. We get into: - Being diagnosed with PCOS and what that moment actually felt like - 35 cysts on one ovary, 25 on the other, and what she did next - Why she refused surgery and medication and chose the long game instead - Going from 60 cysts to 3 with no medication.. just whole foods and nervous system work - The pullout method, one unplanned night, and two very strong lines - Falling pregnant on the first try after 6 years together, with PCOS and irregular periods - The pregnancy she didn't expect and the emotions that came with it - HG, losing 6kg, and hating 95% of pregnancy whilst being deeply grateful - What she would tell younger Tori in her darkest moments - Knowing your WHY as the only thing that gets you through. Tori is proof that when you do the work - the real, unglamorous, long game work, your body hears you. And that opinions placed on you about what is or isn't possible for your body are just that. Opinions.

    #8 | How to Become a Content Creator (What It Actually Takes)

    Thank you for being here ❤️ In this episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about building a social media following/ career in content creation… and why most people stay stuck. Because the reality is, a lot of people say they “want it”… but don’t actually do what it takes to get there. I talk about the difference between loving the outcome vs loving the process, and why that distinction will either make or break your consistency. We get into: Why you might not actually want this (and why that’s okay)The entitlement mindset that’s keeping people stuckWhy comparing yourself to established creators is holding you backThe truth about “blowing up” (and why it doesn’t build a career)Why personality will always outperform perfectionWhat it actually takes to grow Tips & Tricks I also share some real talk on the parts no one speaks about - the slow seasons, the flops, the self-doubt… and how to keep going anyway. If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or questioning if you’re cut out for this… this is for you. As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you!

    #7 | How To Find YOUR People.

    YOUR PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE! In this episode I share my experience of feeling lost in friendships, questioning where I belonged, and genuinely wondering if I would ever find 'my people'. For a long time, it felt like everyone else had their people and I just didn’t. But instead of forcing connections that didn’t feel right - I grieved a lot of friendships that I thought were 'forever' and I made the decision to hold my standard of what I wanted in my friendships, even if that meant being alone. This episode is about what happened in those “lonely” years… and how they were actually the most important part of attracting the right friendships into my life. I also dive into: How to attract aligned friendshipsWhat you need to stop doing (that might be pushing the right people away)Who you need to become to call in the friendships you wantWhy forcing friendships never works, and what to do insteadAnd of course some big sister advice from me to you! If you’ve been feeling like you don’t quite fit, like your friendships aren’t fully aligned, or like you’re still searching for your people… this episode is for you. As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you!

    #6 | STOP Trying To Have It All 'Figured Out' in Your 20's.

    I’m SO happy you’re here! 💌 In this episode, I’m talking about something I feel so strongly about and something that holds so many people back. I share my perspective on why your 20’s are not for certainty, how constantly needing a plan can disconnect you from what you truly want, and why following the “right path” can actually lead you further away from your own. I also dive into: The power of quitting (and why it’s actually a skill)The difference between quitting because it’s not for you vs. quitting because it’s hard“Choose your hard” and what that really meansWhy waiting for 100% certainty is slowing your life downLetting go of the pressure that you’re “running out of time”And I share a story that completely reframed success for men because the timeline you think you’re behind on… might not even be real. If you’ve been feeling lost, behind, or like you should have it all together by now… this episode is for you. As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you!
