    Episode 79 - "I was using 1kg of cocaine for 2 months" Austin Rampt on severe addiction, the Mexican cartel and recovery though vulnerability.

    This is one of the most confronting conversations we've ever put on Soul Stories.In this episode, Michelle Anne sits down with American author Austin Rampt, whose memoir One Last Hit lays out a life that went from a Tampa childhood, to nine years of hard won sobriety, to a relapse that ended with him living inside the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico. Austin talks openly about the neurological tics and family trauma that shaped him as a kid, the addiction that followed him from age 12, the overdoses, the eight rehabs, and the renal failure that nearly took his life. He also talks about what came after Mexico. Coming home with nothing left, and the slow, uncomfortable work of learning that he was worthy of love without having to achieve anything to earn it.What makes this one land isn't the chaos, even though there's plenty of it. It's what Austin learned about vulnerability on the other side. He talks candidly about rebuilding his marriage, parenting two teenagers who mirror parts of himself back at him, and staying honest about his sobriety date even when the honest answer is complicated. This is Self Belief, Support and Spirituality in action, a reminder that the mask we think keeps us safe is usually the very thing keeping us from the connection we're starving for.Connect with us:Those Sisters, website https://www.those2sisters.comJoin the thosesisters retreat: https://www.those2sisters.com/retreatsJoin the Membership: https://www.those2sisters.au/membershipConnect with  Austin Rampt, One Last Hit Website: https://onelasthitbook.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/OneLastHitBookInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/onelasthitbook/

    Episode 78 - When a deadly siege nearly broke me (and how this changed the trajectory of my life). Story Telling, PTSD and a life after journalism with Morgan Jannusch

    Feeling everything deeply was never Morgan Jannusch's weakness, it turned out to be the thing that built her. In this episode of Soul Stories, Michelle Anne sits down with Morgan, founder of MJ Communications and creator of The Story Lounge, and a co-author in our sixth book, The Rich Lady Revolution: The Embodied Era.Morgan takes us back to her decade as a journalist, including the eleven days she spent covering the Wieambilla siege, and the PTSD like symptoms that eventually led her to hand in her notice and start again. She opens up about the guilt that came with the job, the fear of writing her chapter for the book, and how she learned the difference between moving on and moving forward, with grief beside her rather than behind her.We also talk about imposter syndrome, pricing yourself for who you are becoming rather than who you used to be, and a recent collective photoshoot that reminded a room full of women what their own confidence actually looks like. Morgan closes out with our rapid fire spiritual questions, and her answer on intuition is one worth sitting with.This is Self Belief and Spirituality in action, because your story was never something to apologise for.Connect with us: Website: www.those2sisters.comThe Embodied Era book launch: www.those2sisters.au/the-embodied-era-book-launchQueens Club: www.those2sisters.au/queens-clubRetreats: www.those2sisters.com/retreats Connect with Morgan Jannusch, MJ Communications: Instagram: @mjcomms.media Website: https://mjcommunications.com.au/ Email: morgan@mjcommunications.com.au

    Eposie 77 - Seize the 12 minutes - Stop Waiting for more Time with Michelle Anne

    What could you do with 5, 8 or 12 unexpected minutes?Instead of waiting for a big block of uninterrupted time, what if you started making the most of the little pockets that appear throughout your day?In this short and sweet episode, Michelle shares a real-life example from waiting for her daughter’s school interview - 25 minutes that could easily have been spent scrolling or simply waiting. Instead, she walked around the oval, got her steps in and recorded this podcast.Because sometimes the moments that seem too small to matter are exactly where we can create momentum.This episode is a little invitation to pause and ask yourself: What could I do with the time I have, instead of wishing I had more?12 minutes. A few questions to ponder. And maybe a whole new way of looking at your day.

    Episode 76 - Chaos Kick up the Ass with Michelle Anne

    This one's just me. No guest, no plan, no idea what's about to come out of my mouth, and honestly, that's exactly the point. I'm talking structure. The thing everyone thinks they need more of, and the thing most of us are avoiding because our brains are too busy throwing spaghetti at the wall to sit still long enough to build it. Creative, ADHD, chaos brain, whatever you call yours, this episode is for the version of you who's tired of the mess and ready for a container that's organised, safe and steady. Fair warning, there are some hard truths in here. Delivered with a laugh, but they'll land. And yes, the irony is not lost on me that an episode about structure has none. It's raw, it's spur of the moment, it's real. Enjoy the chaos.

    What happens when two women meet and instantly feel like they’ve known each other forever?In this beautiful conversation, I sit down with Bree Puttick, the young and inspiring local owner of the brand-new coffee shop at Forest Lake. From the moment we met, there was an undeniable connection - the kind that feels a little like love at first sight. ❤️We talk about so much more than coffee. We dive into the courage it takes to follow a dream, the power of spirituality and intuition, what it means to be a go-getter, and why creating genuine connection and community matters so much.Bree is a beautiful reminder that you don’t have to wait until you’re older, more experienced or have everything figured out to go after the thing that lights you up.Sometimes you just have to trust the nudge, back yourself, and take the leap.A conversation about dreams, courage, connection, community - and the magic that happens when kindred spirits collide. ✨

    Episode 73 - From Hiding to Healed: Bel Bignell on Weight Loss, Walls and Learning to Love Yourself

    I have been wanting to get Bel Bignell on the podcast for months, and I am so glad we finally made it happen. Because this conversation. I cannot stop thinking about it. I first met Bel at one of our retreats up in the Noosa hinterland. She walked in a little closed off, and I clocked it straight away. Not in a judgmental way. I just knew there was so much more in there waiting to come out. And by the end of that retreat? She was unrecognisable. In the most beautiful way. In this episode, Bel takes us right back. Through the years of masking, people pleasing and hating what she saw in the mirror. Through losing 34 kilos, having a gastric sleeve, and realising the physical change was only ever the beginning. Through mirror work, she has done every single day for six years without missing one. And through the slow, brave process of becoming a woman who actually knows her own worth. She is funny and real and a little bit crude, and I absolutely adore her for all of it. Here is what we get into: Why Bel built a wall around herself and what it finally cost her Her weight loss story and what she discovered on the other side of the scales The daily mirror work practice that changed everything How she uses somatic techniques to move emotion through the body What version three of Bel looks like and why she is still stepping into her The moment at retreat when the wall finally came down Her vision for the next chapter, coaching, community and profit with peace This one is for every woman who has been showing up loud on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside. Bel has walked that road, and she is not afraid to talk about it. Come and listen. You are going to love her.
