    Gender Roles, Relationships & the Conversations We Avoid | Zana Pali

    What happens when conversations about our values, relationships and the world around us feel harder to have? In this episode, I’m joined by Zana Pali, a lawyer, podcast host and mother, for an open conversation about speaking with conviction, navigating disagreement and the way our views can shape our relationships and communities. We talk about gender roles, parenting, traditional values and what each person might bring to a relationship. Zana also shares some of her own experiences, including divorce, becoming a mother and how her perspective on relationships has changed over time. We also touch on public debate, politics, safety and social connection, and why it can be valuable to make room for different perspectives while still being thoughtful about how we speak to one another. This is a conversation that raises plenty of questions. Take what resonates, and make space to think through the rest for yourself. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Zana’s perspective on speaking openly and standing by your values ✅ Why disagreement can be difficult to navigate ✅ Different expectations around gender roles and relationships ✅ How becoming a parent can shift your priorities ✅ Zana’s reflections on marriage, divorce and choosing a partner ✅ Why community and connection matter ✅ How to approach conversations where people see things differently 📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!): 00:00 - Introduction 01:54 - Speaking Openly About Difficult Topics 06:28 - Politics, Safety & Community 08:02 - Public Debate and Differing Views 33:04 - Relationships, Marriage & Expectations 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment! 👤 Guest Info: Zana Pali: https://www.instagram.com/zana_pali/  The Audacity Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/theaudacitypodcast.official/  👇 All the Good Stuff 👇 FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6  Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis NK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership  HRT Masterclass: https://site.natkringoudis.com/hrtmasterclass

    The Things No One Tells You About Becoming a Mum | Dominique Elissa

    What happens when becoming a mum changes the way you see yourself, your body and your whole life? In this episode, I’m joined by Dominique Elissa, model, podcaster and soon to be mum, for a really honest conversation about pregnancy, body image, grief and everything that comes with stepping into a completely new chapter. Dominique opens up about losing her mum and what it feels like to enter motherhood without having her there. We talk about the importance of finding your people, asking for help and building a community around you, especially when life feels completely unknown. We also talk about body image, food and the unexpected ways pregnancy has changed Dominique’s relationship with both. From learning to eat when she’s hungry to letting go of the pressure to look a certain way, there’s a beautiful reminder here about listening to what your body actually needs. And at the heart of this conversation is intuition. Those little signs your body gives you, the things we often ignore, and what can happen when we finally slow down enough to listen. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ The reality of pregnancy beyond the obvious changes ✅ Dominique’s experience with body image and food during pregnancy ✅ Navigating grief while entering motherhood ✅ Why community and asking for help matter so much ✅ Learning to trust your intuition and body wisdom ✅ The pressure social media can put on new mums 📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!): 00:00 - Meet Dominique 04:00 - Pregnancy, Grief & Becoming a Mum 06:00 - Why Community Matters 09:30 - Comparison & Social Media 14:20 - Pregnancy & Body Image 18:00 - Changing Your Relationship With Food 35:00 - Trusting Your Intuition 42:15 - Listening to Your Body 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment! 👤 Guest Info: Dominique Elissa: https://www.instagram.com/dominiquelissa/ Selfdom Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/7a24MjicbKYDu7bCFWwzLI Selfdom website: https://selfdom.au/ 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇 FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis NK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Hydrogen Health Hydration Guide: https://site.natkringoudis.com/sipwell HRT Masterclass: https://site.natkringoudis.com/hrtmasterclass Keywords: Dominique Elissa, pregnancy, motherhood, becoming a mum, first time mum, pregnancy body image, body image, pregnancy and food, intuitive eating, motherhood journey, grief and motherhood, losing your mum, pregnancy mental health, maternal mental health, community for mums, motherhood support, doula, social media and motherhood, women's health, hormones and pregnancy, body confidence, intuition, body wisdom, self care, women's wellness, Nat Kringoudis, The Wellness Collective, Australian wellness podcast

    Why Sauna Gets Better After 40 | Nat Kringoudis

    If you're already having hot flushes, night sweats, or generally feeling hotter than you used to, the idea of voluntarily sitting in a sauna might sound a little counterintuitive. But stay with me. In this mini episode, I'm diving into why I think sauna actually gets more interesting after 40. As we move through perimenopause and menopause, our hormones don't just change in isolation. They influence everything from temperature regulation and stress to sleep, cardiovascular health and metabolism. I unpack why controlled heat exposure can help the body adapt, what hormesis actually means, and why more stress is definitely not always better. Because the goal isn't to see how long you can survive in a sauna. It's about giving your body the right amount of stimulus, then allowing it to recover and adapt. We also get into hydration, sweating, detoxification, cardiovascular health, metabolism, and why sauna is one of my favourite tools for building resilience as we get older. And importantly, this isn't another wellness hack to add to your already enormous list of things you're apparently supposed to be doing. It's about understanding your body, the changes happening through midlife, and finding simple ways to support your health along the way. 🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why sauna gets more interesting after 40 ✅ What happens to your body's thermostat during menopause ✅ How heat adaptation can help build resilience ✅ What hormesis actually means ✅ Why recovery matters just as much as the stress itself ✅ How sauna can support your health beyond just relaxation 📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!): 00:00 - Why Sauna Gets Better After 40 02:20 - Your Changing Internal Thermostat 04:00 - Heat, Stress & Hormesis 06:10 - Why More Isn't Better 07:20 - Hydration, Sweating & Detox 10:00 - Sauna & Cardiovascular Health 12:30 - Metabolism, Recovery & Resilience 14:19 - Why I'm Obsessed With Sauna 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment! 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇 FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis NK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Nook Saunas: https://nooksaunas.com.au/ Free Sauna Guide PDF: https://site.natkringoudis.com/infrafix

    Why Women Need to Start Listening to Their Bodies | Harmony Rutledge

    How often do women get told that feeling exhausted, anxious, unable to sleep or completely unlike themselves is just something they have to accept? In this episode, I’m joined by Harmony Rutledge, CEO of ANNA’s Wild Yam Cream, to talk about women’s hormonal health, natural medicine and why so many women are looking for more ways to support their bodies. Harmony shares her journey into the world of natural health, growing up surrounded by it, and eventually taking over one of Australia’s most recognised women’s wellness brands. We unpack what wild yam cream actually is, the myths surrounding it, and why it’s important to understand exactly what you’re putting in and on your body. But this conversation is about so much more than one product. We talk about perimenopause, menopause, anxiety, sleep, environmental factors and why this stage of life can sometimes expose the things our bodies have been trying to tell us for years. And the message that really stayed with me is this: you don't have to suffer in silence. There are options, there are conversations worth having, and there is so much power in being informed enough to ask questions and find the support that feels right for you. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ What wild yam cream actually is and what it contains ✅ Why hormonal health isn't a one size fits all conversation ✅ The symptoms women are often told to simply accept ✅ Why asking questions about your health matters ✅ How perimenopause can expose underlying issues ✅ Why women don't have to suffer in silence 📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!): 00:00 - You Don't Have to Suffer 02:00 - Harmony's Journey Into Natural Health 04:25 - What Is Wild Yam Cream? 09:13 - Natural Medicine & Asking Questions 19:44 - Perimenopause & Hormonal Symptoms 21:28 - Why Community Matters 23:00 - HRT, Options & Finding What Works 24:11 - Thriving Instead of Suffering 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment! 👤 Guest Info: ANNA’s Wild Yam Cream IG: https://www.instagram.com/annaswildyamcream/ ANNA’s Wild Yam Cream Website: https://annaswildyamcream.com.au/ ANNA'S Presents Bloom Through Every Stage 📅 Sunday, 18 October ⏰ 10:00am to 2:00pm AEDT 🎤 Featuring expert insights from Kim Morrison, Dr Tara Hanaphy and Nat Kringoudis Get your tickets here: https://events.humanitix.com/bloom-through-every-stage 👇 All the Good Stuff 👇 FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6 Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis NK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership Hydrogen Health Hydration Guide: https://site.natkringoudis.com/sipwell HRT Masterclass: https://site.natkringoudis.com/hrtmasterclass

    What Happens When You Stop Caring What People Think | Davina Rankin

    In this episode, I’m joined by Davina Rankin. You may know her from her reality TV days, but there is so much more to her story. We talk about the different versions of ourselves we move through, the hard seasons that can completely change us, and what it takes to find your way back to yourself. Davina opens up about mental health, postnatal struggles, public scrutiny and the moment she realised she had to start looking inward. We talk about journaling, breathwork, nervous system regulation and the small steps that helped her rebuild her relationship with herself. We also talk about motherhood, switching off our phones, getting out of the rat race and why sometimes a few intentional days of less noise, more nature, movement, connection and nourishing food can change how you feel. At the heart of this conversation is a reminder that you are so much more resilient than you think you are. You don't have to stay stuck in an old version of yourself. Sometimes you just need to take the next small step and keep following the breadcrumbs. 🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How Davina rebuilt herself after some of her hardest seasons ✅ Why we need to stop managing other people’s opinions of us ✅ The power of switching off and creating space ✅ How journaling and self-reflection can change your life ✅ Why motherhood can completely shift your priorities ✅ How small steps can lead to a completely different life 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment! 👤 Guest Info: Davina Rankin: https://www.instagram.com/davvyxx/?hl=en  👇 All the Good Stuff 👇 FREE Hormone Quiz: https://form.typeform.com/to/a3wsLZF6  Nat’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natkringoudis NK The Membership: https://site.natkringoudis.com/membership  Hydrogen Health Hydration Guide: https://site.natkringoudis.com/sipwell

    Your Body Is Not the Problem | Anthea Todd

    In this episode, I'm joined by Anthea Todd, a chiropractor with a Masters in Reproductive Medicine and Women's Health, to talk about the connection between our physical body, emotions, nervous system and the stories we carry. We dive into why symptoms aren't always something to silence, but can be information worth listening to. We talk about why women have been conditioned to look outside themselves for answers, the problem with a one size fits all approach, and why Anthea's philosophy is to use your body, not your bias. Sometimes you need medication. Sometimes you need movement, sleep, nutrition, herbs or simply a little more space. We also get into the connection between emotions and physical symptoms, why we can get stuck in our heads, and what happens when we're constantly pushing, overthinking and avoiding what we're actually feeling. And honestly, the idea of creating more space in your body, your calendar and your life might be something we all need a little more of. 🌿 What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why your symptoms aren't necessarily the enemy ✅ How emotions and physical symptoms can be connected ✅ Why we need to move beyond a one size fits all approach ✅ What happens when we live constantly in our heads ✅ Why creating space can help your nervous system ✅ How to listen to your body without letting bias make the decision 📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!): 00:00 - Intro & Anthea's Story 07:31 - When the System Doesn't Have All the Answers 09:29 - Use Your Body, Not Your Bias 12:27 - When Emotions Show Up in the Body 16:08 - Why We Get Stuck in Our Heads 19:34 - The Push Crash Cycle 23:44 - Your Body Is the Solution 28:30 - Creating Space for Your Nervous System 32:05 - Nobody Is Coming to Save You 33:39 - Becoming the Lioness
