    How To Train Your Intuition: Real Proof, Remote Viewing & Smarter Decisions | Linda Eastburn EP 220

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we explore what intuition really is and whether it can be trained, tested, and trusted when the stakes are high. I sit down with Linda Eastburn—entrepreneur, author, intuitive educator, and real estate investor—to break down how “inner guidance” shows up in real decisions involving money, timing, and risk. Linda shares the moments she followed a clear knowing, including property choices that helped protect her ahead of the 2007–2008 financial crisis. We also get into the question most people ask: can intuition actually be proven? Linda explains how she tested accuracy using a remote viewing–style process—selecting random addresses, describing properties in a deep state, then physically visiting them to compare results. From there, we dive into manifesting and why visualisation alone can feel inconsistent. We talk about heart coherence, compassion, intention, and how these influence outcomes, along with Linda’s framework involving energy fields, biophotons, and timing across past, present, and future. You’ll also hear a powerful synchronicity that shifted the direction of her career, leading into her work as a health intuitive and her exploration of brainwave states. To close, Linda shares simple, practical ways to begin: – Dream journalling with a clear question – Meditation that invites an answer – Tracking results to build trust in your intuition If you’re curious about developing intuition in a grounded, testable way—and applying it to real life—this conversation offers both perspective and practical tools.

    Chronic Pain Relief: Reset Your Nervous System & Reclaim Your Body | Elizabeth Kipp EP 219

    Send us Fan Mail Chronic pain is often treated like a permanent identity—but what if that assumption is wrong? In this episode, we sit down with stress management and historical trauma specialist Elizabeth Kipp, who spent decades living in severe chronic pain, was prescribed powerful medications, and was told she would never heal. Then everything changed. After entering a holistic chronic pain programme focused on resetting the stress response, she walked out 52 days later pain-free. This isn’t about a miracle—it’s about understanding how healing actually works. We explore how the nervous system drives chronic pain, why the body can heal when the conditions are right, and what it takes to move from helplessness to agency. Elizabeth breaks down the real factors that influence recovery, including opioid-induced hyperalgesia, the challenges of long-term benzodiazepine use, and the mindset shifts that help rewire the brain out of pain patterns. You’ll also learn practical tools you can use immediately, including simple breathwork techniques to calm the autonomic nervous system, regulate stress, and begin building new patterns through repetition. We go deeper into generational and historical trauma—covering genetics, epigenetics, and why some emotional responses may not just be personal, but inherited. Elizabeth shares her approach to ancestral clearing, a prayer-based practice for releasing patterns like shame, fear, and self-doubt, and guides us through a powerful clearing exercise. If you’re looking for chronic pain relief, nervous system regulation, somatic healing tools, or a compassionate approach to trauma recovery, this episode offers both insight and practical next steps.

    Migraine Relief Naturally: The Migraine Freedom Method | Debbie Waidl EP 218

    Send us Fan Mail If migraines are shaping your calendar, your parenting, your relationships, and even how you think about your future, this episode will change the way you see them. I’m joined by migraine freedom expert Debbie Waidl, who went from daily, debilitating migraines—and a cabinet full of medication—to more than a decade completely migraine-free. In this conversation, she shares the exact shifts that made that transformation possible. We explore why focusing only on symptom control can keep you stuck, and how a root-cause, functional medicine approach looks deeper while still respecting the role of conventional care. Debbie breaks down chronic inflammation in simple terms, and explains how modern life quietly adds to the migraine load—from sleep disruption and stress to toxins and even the wrong kind of exercise. You’ll also learn why “only a few migraines a month” can still impact you every single day through anticipation, fear, and constant planning. Debbie walks through her Freedom From Migraine Method, including: • The hidden chronic inducers keeping migraines in place • Deeper drivers like hormones and gut health • How your genetics influence (but don’t define) your outcomes • The transformation phase that makes results sustainable We also talk about prodromes and early warning signs, the role of mindset and neuroplasticity, and why community support is a missing piece for so many women living with chronic migraine. If you’re ready for practical, hopeful migraine relief—and a new way to think about your health—this episode is for you.

    Ken Posner: Barefoot Running, 100 Marathons & 600 Mountains EP 216

    Send us Fan Mail What would it feel like to move through the world with nothing between you and the ground? In this episode, I’m joined by Ken Posner—runner, writer, and financial analyst—who has completed over 100 marathons and ultramarathons, including nearly 30 barefoot, and climbed more than 600 mountains without shoes. We explore the reality of barefoot running and hiking—from the sharp pain of gravel to the quiet pleasure of moss—and how moving this way demands focus, balance, and patience. Ken shares how these experiences go far beyond physical challenge, becoming a practice in mindfulness, discipline, and self-awareness. We also dive into his latest book, Chasing the Grid, where he documents a long-term mountain challenge and his pursuit of something deeper through endurance and time in nature. Along the way, we discuss the connection between movement and spirituality, the influence of transcendentalist thinking, and how stepping away from constant digital noise can restore clarity and presence. Ken reflects on a pivotal night hike where his ego fell silent, opening up a new perspective on anger, defensiveness, and the way we show up—both outdoors and online. This conversation is ultimately about learning to manage yourself when things get hard, and finding calm in the middle of effort. If you’re interested in barefoot running, ultramarathons, mindset, or reconnecting with nature in a more intentional way, this episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective.

    Reclaiming The Crone: The Midlife Power Shift Women Need | Jennifer Jefferies EP 215

    Send us Fan Mail Women are being told to stay quiet, look younger, push harder and cope better—then we act surprised when burnout hits. In this episode, we sit down with TEDx speaker, naturopath, author and speaker Jennifer Jefferies, who brings over 30 years of experience to a powerful conversation about stress, exhaustion and what’s really going on in women’s bodies in midlife and beyond. We unpack the patterns she sees every day: broken sleep, low energy, mood swings and weight changes that don’t respond to “eat clean, exercise more.” From adrenal health and cortisol to the gut-brain connection, this episode connects the dots between chronic stress and why your body starts to slow down and protect itself. You’ll also hear a refreshingly honest take on sleep—why your bedroom should be device-free, and how sleep trackers and wearables may be increasing anxiety rather than improving rest. Then we zoom out to the bigger cultural conversation behind Jennifer’s TEDx talk, Who Killed the Crone. We explore menopause, boundaries, voice and what happens when women stop being “good” and start being honest. The crone—the modern-day wise woman—isn’t something to fear, it’s something to reclaim. If you’re ready for practical tools, a clearer mindset and permission to age with strength, this episode is for you.

Emma shares simple micro nature practices you can do in under two minutes, powerful tools for calming stress, improving decision-making, and building a deeper sense of belonging on the earth. We also talk honestly about grief, sound baths, ritual spaces, staying safe in unfamiliar workshops, and why rewilding and self-development should include men as much as women.
