    Bliss Decoded: Pleasure Seeking vs True Alignment

    “Follow your bliss” — it sounds like the ultimate life advice. But what if we’ve been getting it wrong? In this solo episode of Unbound, Georgia unpacks one of the most misunderstood spiritual mantras, exploring how chasing what merely feels good can sometimes lead us away from what’s truly aligned. She reveals the deeper understanding of bliss—not as indulgence or escape, but as the refined inner guidance that emerges through consciousness and self-awareness. Learn how to discern between pleasure and purpose, align with your higher path, and discover why real bliss often asks for presence, discipline, and depth rather than constant highs. A must-listen for seekers ready to live with clarity, authenticity, and true inner fulfilment.

    Why love triggers us - and what to do about it

    This week on Unbound, Georgia and Hannah crack open one of the rawest parts of conscious living: why love triggers us. Recording from a new setting (with podcast dogs and cats chiming in), they dive straight into the emotional undercurrents that shape our romantic relationships. What unfolds is honest, tender, and often disarmingly relatable. Hannah shares her own experience of returning to vulnerability after years of healing on her own, while Georgia unpacks the dynamics beneath attachment styles, people-pleasing, social conditioning, and the inner child. Together, they explore why relationships stir our deepest fears—and why that isn’t a sign something’s wrong, but a doorway into deeper intimacy. You’ll hear practical tools for working with triggers without abandoning yourself, powerful ways to support your inner child, and their grounded take on cultivating communication that is radically honest and deeply kind. If you’ve ever felt torn between longing for connection and fearing the cost of real intimacy, this conversation will land. They also challenge the belief that growth only happens in crisis, sharing why investing in healthy partnership—through self-awareness, support, therapy, or coaching—can be one of the most transformative choices we make. Whether you’re single, in relationship, or navigating the in-between, this episode offers a vision of partnership that elevates your life rather than drains it. Hit play for deep insight, raw truth, and an invitation to free yourself from old patterns, fear stories, and limiting beliefs about love.

    The Hidden Cost of Playing Small

    Are you unknowingly designing your own disappointment? In this solo episode of Unbound, Georgia explores how our earliest experiences of hope and letdown shape the hidden expectations that run our adult lives. She unpacks the subtle ways we settle for “good enough,” navigate recurring disappointments, and unconsciously reinforce limiting beliefs - whether in work, love, or self-worth. Through a blend of personal insight, Vedic wisdom, and real-life examples, Georgia reveals how the universe meets us at our frequency of expectation - and how to gently rewrite your story to create space for more joy, possibility, and true alignment. This is a potent invitation to stop playing small, recognise the old patterns holding you back, and consciously choose new pathways to self-trust, fulfilment, and freedom. What you'll hear: • Why we lower our expectations to avoid pain—anfulfillmentn long-term costs • How childhood and early disappointments wire us to anticipate and then recreate struggle or letdowns • The mechanics of expectation: what quantum physics, ancient philosophy, and neuroscience reveal about possibility and the “frequency” you hold • Settling vs. surrender: how to discern when you’re stuck in old programming, whether in love, career, or daily life • Practical, compassionate prompts for reclaiming hope and designing your reality with intention • How to shift from “just surviving” to living in alignment with your truest vision (and why this requires action, not just mindset) • Letting go of relationships, roles, or identities that drain you—and what it really means to hold space for something greater • How to break cycles of self-sabotage and move through the “in between” with trust • Why your sense of what you deserve can be expanded or healed • The power of meditation and self-awareness in returning to your field of infinite possibility This episode is for anyone feeling stuck, dimmed down, or ready to stop outsourcing joy and worth. If you’ve ever found yourself settling or wondering if true fulfillment is possible for you—this conversation is your permission slip to dream again and take aligned steps forward.

    In this raw and revelatory episode of Unbound, host Georgia Vavasour sits down with her sister, Scarlett Vavasour, to explore Scarlett’s courageous journey of healing from a 15-year binge eating disorder and breaking free from the pervasive grip of diet culture. Forget everything you think you know about food, body image, and self-worth—this conversation goes far beyond the Instagram sound bites. Together, they expose the cultural, historical, and psychological programming that keeps so many of us trapped in cycles of shame and self-criticism. Scarlett’s story isn’t one of overnight healing—it’s a deeply human account of endurance, awakening, and reclaiming wholeness. Georgia and Scarlett unpack the roots of disordered eating, how diet culture is woven into our upbringing, and the billion-dollar industries that profit from our insecurities. They challenge myths about health (hello, BMI), call out normalised body shaming, and offer a radical redefinition of self-acceptance that feels both grounded and liberating. If you’re ready to question what you’ve been taught about your body, learn practical tools to deprogram diet culture, and hear what true freedom can feel like, this episode will move and empower you. Whether you’re navigating your own food or body struggles, or wanting to raise children free from this conditioning, Scarlett’s story offers profound wisdom and hope. Key Takeaways: • The hidden origins and economic forces behind diet culture and body ideals • How to dismantle shame and cultivate genuine self-acceptance at any size or age • Real talk on intuitive eating, “health at every size,” and why BMI is misleading • Practical advice for parents to help the next generation break the cycle • The ripple effect of body acceptance—beyond food, weight, and appearance This episode is a powerful invitation to challenge ingrained beliefs, heal generational patterns, and reclaim your own definition of beauty, health, and freedom.

    Ep 8: Breaking through the Bday Blues

    Ever feel unexpectedly low on your birthday - even when everything looks like it should be a celebration? You’re not alone. In this tender and insightful solo episode, Georgia unpacks the phenomenon of the “birthday blues,” revealing why these milestone days can sometimes stir feelings of lack, highlight old wounds, or trigger unmet expectations. Drawing from her own experience, including navigating illness, singledom, and starting over in a new town—she shares a fresh perspective on how to turn birthdays into days of self-honour rather than self-critique. You’ll hear about the deeper forces at play (including the astrology of the solar return), how childhood conditioning sneaks into adulthood, and the practical ways you can reclaim this day as a ritual of appreciation and empowerment. If birthdays often leave you feeling unseen, disappointed, or adrift, consider this your invitation to rewrite the script. Georgia’s heartfelt roadmap - rooted in gratitude, self-compassion, and conscious intention -will help you shift from comparison and expectation into presence and celebration, no matter your circumstances. Tune in for grounded wisdom, soulful tools, and gentle reminders you can carry with you not just on your birthday, but every day you want to feel a little more unbound.
