    Episode 93 - Unbind from negative loops of the mind using Havening with Elle Louise McBride

    Have you ever wondered how to bring yourself back from a stressful event? Maybe you’ve tried to shift the emotional response to a trauma experience from your past, and felt defeated due to the lack of change. 

    Today I’m speaking with Havening Practitioner Elle Louise McBride and she’s going to help us understand exactly what is happening in our brains when we replay traumatic events in our mind and how we can unbind from their power. 
    Meet Elle Louise McBride, a force to be reckoned with in the world of NeuroSelf Care. With a holistic approach that blends various modalities, Elle empowers women and young adults to live their best lives and reach their full potential.
    As a Havening Techniques Practitioner, Elle is sought after for her expertise and is dedicated to bringing awareness to the impact of trauma and providing tools for release. She co-founded The Enlighten Co. in 2019, offering 1:1 sessions, retreats, workshops, and more to help individuals overcome their obstacles and reach their goals.
    Elle is also a gifted writer and speaker, sharing her wisdom and inspiration with the world. Her mission is to help people understand that the root of unhappiness lies in the belief of not being enough, and to provide the tools and support needed to overcome this belief.
    At the end of this episode at 50:30 Elle takes us through a Havening process. I share my experience in real time and how it shifts for me through the experience. Be sure to come back to this if you are unable to move through the process in real time, and please let Elle and I know how it unfolded for you via social media.

    Episode 91 - IVF, resilience, surrogacy and hope with Lisa Messenger

    Episode 91 - IVF, resilience, surrogacy and hope with Lisa Messenger

    When I see people with big communities begin to talk about the challenges that conception can carry, I feel a kinship. When Lisa began speaking about her fertility challenges, approximately 8 years in, I knew immediately I wanted to speak to her.

    Not for any other reason than that, I had to know how someone navigates what she has, runs a company, maintains relationships and seems to be relatively well. 

    Having navigated my own experiences with conception and through supporting thousands through the podcast and hundreds through my coaching, I have a pretty fair idea of what it feels like to go through IVF and infertility at it’s worst. 

    In our conversation today Lisa shares that sparkly spirit that we all know and see through her social channels, but she also allows us to see the rawness of what she has navigated. From the lowest moments, big financial choices, pregnancy loss and everything in between.


    Somehow she manages to share the realities of HER story, while also bring lightness, hope and an unwavering resilience that I know we can all learn from. 

    Lisa launched The Messenger Group in 2001, which has custom published more than 400 books for companies and individuals and now releases 40 – 60 products per year globally. Lisa has authored and co-authored more than 36 books and become an authority in the start-up scene.
    Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything. She encourages entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and innovation and lives life to the absolute max. With fans including Sir Richard Branson, New York Times Best-selling author Bradley Trevor Grieve, and a social media following of well over 800,000 across the Collective Hub platforms, Lisa’s vision is to build a community of likeminded people who want to challenge the status quo and change the world.
    I absolutely loved this conversation and I truly cannot wait to hear how Lisa’s story, helps support you in yours.

    I know you’re going to love this one.

    To take up the offer for 15% off Lisa's children's mindfulness collection use the code LISA over at Little Love of Mine by 30th April 2023.

    Astrology for an Aligned Life with Kristy Gray

    Astrology for an Aligned Life with Kristy Gray

    If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by the world of astrology, you’re not alone. 

    In this episode I bring it back to basics with my incredibly knowledgeable and very cool friend Kristy Gray. 

    Kristy is an Astrologer and Life Strategist from the Gold Coast. Her career started in Learning and Development in the beauty industry, working for the likes of Clinique and global beauty giant Sephora. A passion for developing people and brands blossomed into a 10-year career, but Kristy was perpetually curious about astrology - she was ‘that girl’ in the office who was always asking everyone for their star signs. 

    In 2018, she found herself sitting in front of an award- winning Astrologer who became her mentor, and instantly fell in love with the stars and how they can help you understand more about yourself to make conscious decisions. Five years on, Kristy has become one of Australia’s leading Astrologers. Through her signature formula, Astrostrategy®, Kristy combines mystical insights with practical tools to dismantle the uncertainty that’s been holding you back. When she’s not stargazing, you’ll find her at the beach, fantasy novel and green juice in hand. 


    In this episode Kristy walks us through the foundation of our own charts when it comes to living full expressed and aligned as individuals. With her empowering approach Kristy shows us how to navigate the world of astrology with our internal filter switched on. 

    We explore …
    + Sun, moon and ascendent and how understanding them will give us an even deeper insight into who we are and what to celebrate within ourselves
    + A brief look at the planets and houses
    + Whether you have a daytime or nighttime chart and how that can inform the best way that you operate in the world (this is super easy to grasp!) 
    + Your North and South Nodes and how to use these to help you live more aligned and fulfilled 

    Plus so much more!


    At the top of the conversation Kristy guides us to pull up our own natal charts, follow the link below to do that for free, and if possible have on hand while you’re listening.

    Episode 88 : Preparing Your Body Nutritionally for Conception and Beyond, with Day One Fertility

    Episode 88 : Preparing Your Body Nutritionally for Conception and Beyond, with Day One Fertility

    This week I’ve invited Jacq and Britt of Day One Fertility onto the podcast to help us unpack pre-conception health - with some added info on pregnancy and postpartum too. 

    With 5 children and 20+ years experience in the health industry between them, Jacq and Brit know a thing or two about nutrition, optimising fertility and parenting! But when they first started out, they too felt the overwhelm and lack of credible resources to truly feel empowered by nutrition for fertility. They value evidence based nutrition, and have combined the science with their practical experience as mothers to deliver you a series of in depth courses in nutrition for fertility at Day One.


    My intention in bringing the ladies onto the show was to help simplify nutrition, which I find can be overly complex when you’re trying to get pregnant.


    In this episode we cover…


    + What research tells us about how we can improve our chances of conception 
    + Why we need to start planning for conception at least 6 months prior (and so do our partners)
    + The 7 things you can implement today to improve your fertility by almost 70%
    + Conception supplementation, what’s actually needed
    + Why our diets are lacking now more than ever, and it’s not just about bad food choices
    + MTHFR and folic acid
    + Simplified nutrition for pre-conception and most supportive food lifestyle for fertility (backed by research) 
    + The different calorie requirements for each trimester including postpartum
    + Delicious food ideas to support you to make eating for conception simple 


    I know that this is going to be a well loved episode for its information and clarity, as well as the easy to implement tools. 


    Once you finish listening don’t forget to take a moment to leave a five star review on your favorite platform. I deeply appreciate you closing the energetic cycle of giving and gratitude. 


    As mentioned on the episode you can find the Clean 15 here, and it looks like you will have to subscribe to download the dirty dozen

Kate is an angel 🤍

I was lucky enough to be interviewed by Kate for her podcast but there’s something you need to know…as I was blown away! I have to say Kate is the best interviewer. She asked me questions I’ve never been asked before, plus she knew her stuff! I normally don’t listen back to my episodes but I was laughing along with us! Everything about Kate’s podcast feels incredibly intentional and I just can’t get enough of her energy ~ thank you Kate, you’re a real life angel ✨

Loving the awakened pregnancy podcast!

I discovered the podcast in 2020 when I was pregnant with my first, I was living in a different state to my family and closest friends and was cut off to them due to COVID. Listening to the awaken pregnancy podcast on my walks was comforting, like having a friend in my ear. The topics are varied and relevant and Kate’s interview style makes for interesting discussions.

Happy mama

I’m really loving the podcast at the moment, so much wisdom, nourishment and generosity in what Kate is providing for us listeners ✨
