    #184: He Died 7 Days Before Trial: The Reality of Reporting Childhood Sexual Abuse

    TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse, grooming, coercion, PTSD/C-PTSD, the criminal justice process, suicide, and family betrayal. Please listen with care.  Some secrets don’t just live in your mind. They live in your body. Your relationships. Your appetite. Your nervous system. Your ability to trust. In this episode, I sit down with Tracie Callaghan for a raw, deeply important conversation about childhood sexual abuse, the choice point that made her finally speak, and what it actually looks like to pursue justice years later. Tracie shares what it’s like to report abuse decades after it happened, how the system can retraumatise survivors through the process, and the gut-punch reality of a trial that never eventuated. We also go where most conversations won’t: the psychological warfare of grooming, the confusing truth that a body can respond to stimuli during abuse, and why blaming survivors keeps abuse alive. This is an episode for the woman holding a secret.For the woman who thinks it’s “too late.”For the woman who’s terrified of the consequences of telling the truth. Because speaking isn’t the aftermath.Speaking is the beginning. Timestamps 00:00: Tracie shares the truth: childhood sexual abuse, multiple perpetrators, and choosing prosecution03:09: The “sliding doors” moment: the choice point between silence and liberation07:10: Telling her mum at 8… and being sent back anyway (the cost of not being protected)10:19: How trauma shaped her body, autonomy, risk-taking, and relationships (C-PTSD + “I didn’t believe I could say no”)11:12: The identity shift: coming out later in life, and untangling truth vs protection24:27: The justice system reality: 4 years, 150+ offences reduced to 12 charges, and the retraumatisation of “evidence”32:42: The day everything collapsed: he died 7 days before trial, no note, and the grief of stolen justice55:24: What changed after: shame leaving the body, capacity for love, and reclaiming sex, intimacy, and worthiness Connect with Me: Want to work with me?

    #183: Herpes: The Most Misunderstood Virus on the Planet…

    There’s a moment in every human journey where the thing you think is the problem turns out to be nothing more than the doorway to the real work.Herpes isn’t the villain in this story.Shame is. And shame only survives when it goes unexamined, unspoken, and unchallenged. In this episode, I sit down with Adrienne (The Yoni Nutritionist) and Christopher Pickering, two people who’ve lived the diagnosis, dismantled the stigma, and rebuilt their identities on the other side of it. But this isn’t a conversation about sexual health. It’s a conversation about the human tendency to build entire identities from untested fears, and then mistake those fears for truth. We explore why people cling to victimhood even when freedom is available, why disclosure becomes a litmus test for trust, why men and women metabolise shame so differently, and what happens when you stop organising your life around avoidance and start organising it around agency. It’s a conversation about story; the one you inherited, the one you created, and the one you finally choose to let go of. Timestamps 00:00 — Intro 02:14 — The problem is rarely the problem; the story is.06:40 — Shame’s favourite hiding places.12:58 — Adrienne on reclaiming her body after years of fear.18:23 — Christopher on the “black-pill” mindset and learned hopelessness.25:01 — Disclosure, trust, and the psychology of intimacy.33:44 — Why humans choose familiar pain over unfamiliar freedom.41:20 — Dating, polarity, and what shame does to desire.52:55 — The moment life shifts when you stop negotiating with your worth.

    #182: When Your “High Functioning” Is Actually Survival

    Most women don’t realise their ambition is running on adrenaline… until their body, bank account, or peace makes the truth impossible to avoid.  This solo episode is about the pattern I spent 2025 unraveling: rushing through life, calling it “drive,” and then having to clean up the mess that speed created. I break down why foundations felt “boring” to me for so long, why it’s so hard to quit a pattern that produces results (especially results disguised as “healthy” results), and how leverage, not motivation, actually creates change. I tell the story of burning my curls out twice, injuring my chest because I refused to slow down, and ignoring the basic maintenance my body and business were quietly begging for. This isn’t an episode about productivity.It’s about safety, self-trust, and learning to create from a regulated nervous system instead of panic.Because abundance doesn’t reward chaos. It backs the woman who has the nervous system to hold what she’s asking for.

    #181:The Courage to Choose Divine Love with Hayley Michelle Andrews

    Some people talk about “not settling.”Hayley Michelle Andrews lived it.What happens when the life you’ve built is good… but your soul is quietly whispering this isn’t it? This conversation is the collision point between destiny and doubt, where biology, timelines, and fear meet the inconvenient truth that almost-love still isn’t love. And where a woman learns to trust the ache instead of numbing it.Hayley is a devoted mother, a sacred-union teacher, and a woman who walked away from a safe, stable relationship at 34 with the biological clock screaming at her, because she could feel, in her body, that her real love existed somewhere she hadn’t met yet.And then she met Sam.A man she recognised not from logic, but from memory.In this episode, we explore the entire emotional ecosystem behind soulmate-level partnership: the longing, the leaving, the ache, the self-trust, the timelines, the grief, the shadows, the courage, and the exact moment divine love arrives.And then the story takes a turn, because the love of her life ends up being sentenced to nine years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.And she chooses him anyway.This isn’t a story about romance.It’s a story about conviction, devotion, identity, and the difference between desperation and desire.Inside this episode we explore:• The moment Hayley realised “good enough” is still a form of self-abandonment• Why the ache is not a problem to fix, but the compass that leads you home• Age, timelines, and the mythology of ‘running out of time’• The mythic feeling of meeting “your one”• The shadows that sacred partnership exposes• What actually creates secure love• Prison, devotion, and redefining commitment• Motherhood as initiation|• How Hayley rebuilt her life from the ground upThis conversation is a masterclass in feminine self-trust, emotional courage, and what it means to refuse the life that’s “almost right” in service to the life that is fully yours. It is an ode to the women who are waiting, aching, praying, doubting, strengthening, and holding their standards even when it’s hard.If you’ve ever felt torn between the comfort of certainty and the truth in your body, this episode will feel like someone finally put your experience into words.Connect with Me:Apply for Success School Today and receive a free social media and website audit when you join.

    #180: Herpes, Online Hate & The Orgasm Gap: Why Sexually Free Women Get Punished (ft. The Yoni Nutri

    The internet claims to value honesty, yet consistently punishes women who speak plainly about sex, pleasure, and their bodies. In this episode, I’m joined by Adrienne Rommel, known as The Yoni Nutritionist, for a conversation about herpes, online shaming, and why the backlash is rarely about the topic itself. When women talk openly about sex, what they often trigger isn’t moral outrage, it’s unprocessed shame. We explore how herpes doesn’t create insecurity so much as expose what was already there: fear of rejection, perfectionism, religious conditioning, and long-held doubts about worthiness. What many women experience as a sexual health issue is often a nervous system issue, a body responding to a lack of safety. We talk about why women struggle to orgasm when they don’t feel emotionally safe, how trauma lives in the body long after the mind has moved on, and why symptoms often appear when intuition is ignored in dating and relationships. The body isn’t sabotaging women, it’s communicating. We also unpack the absurd stigma gap between cold sores and genital herpes, the unseen impact viral mockery has on healing women, and why trying to be universally palatable online leads straight to self-abandonment. This episode isn’t really about herpes.It’s about self-respect, safety, and refusing to let shame decide how openly you live. Key Timestamps 00:00 Being called sluts, whores, 304’s, and receiving death threats, the cost of speaking openly05:30 Going viral, 3,000 hate comments, and the women who got re-triggered09:20 “All I saw was hurt men and wounded little boys”14:00 When the troll is identifiable: the temptation to contact HR (and why she didn’t)18:30 The NZ TikToker drama, community protection, and public apologies31:00 “Hands up if…” the universal wounds herpes tends to amplify54:10 Nervous system safety + orgasm: why the body won’t open when it doesn’t feel safe1:09:40 Cold sores vs genital herpes: same virus, completely different shame1:12:15 The brother who judged her… until his sister got herpes and wanted to die Connect with Me: Want to work with me?

    #179: The Bali Break-In & the Cost of Reaction

    I was robbed while living alone in Bali, by someone I thought I knew.The break-in wasn’t the trauma. My response was. In this solo episode, I share the full story of having my villa broken into while living alone in Bali, and the lesson that followed that reshaped how I understand power, safety, and nervous system regulation. This isn’t a story about victimhood or fear. It’s a reflection on intuition ignored, boundaries crossed, and the moment I confused reaction with empowerment. A moment where “standing in my power” came from fight, not presence, and ultimately created more dysregulation in my life than the original event itself. We explore how the nervous system responds under threat, why reactivity can feel righteous in the moment, and how true mastery is built quietly, in the pauses we’re tempted to rush past.  This episode is about learning the difference between being able to confront something… and choosing the response that actually keeps you safe. If you’re a woman who’s strong, self-aware, and used to handling things on your own, this episode will land. Especially if you’re learning that real power isn’t loud, performative, or explosive, it’s regulated, discerning, and deeply embodied. Timestamps  00:00 — Why this is the hardest lesson I took out of 202503:45 — Mastery isn’t built in big moments, it’s built in the crevices12:40 — Fight, flight, freeze & fawn: how the nervous system actually responds24:10 — Realising I’d been robbed — and why it didn’t feel right59:10 — Choosing confrontation from fight, not alignment01:18:30 — The cost of confusing empowerment with reactivity01:27:40 — Why real power is quiet — and always gives you choice Connect with Me: Want to work with me?

    #178: I Think I Dated the Hinge Swindler

    I think I dated the Hinge Swindler for a weekend in Austin, Texas. This episode is part dating story, part nervous-system education, and part reality check for any woman who’s ever overridden her intuition because the chemistry was that good. After two wildly intense dates with a man who seemed emotionally intelligent, self-aware, family-oriented, and deeply aligned with my values, my body started whispering that something wasn’t right. Then the red flags escalated. A missing bank card. Mirroring. Confusing communication. Rage when I calmly asked a clarifying question. And the sudden realisation that romance fraud is a $1.15 billion-a-year industry in the US alone. This isn’t about paranoia, or even protection…It’s about discernment. In this episode, I break down: Why chemistry is instant but character is revealed over time How emotionally intelligent women still get pulled into dangerous dynamics The difference between intuition and self-sabotage Why healthy men never punish curiosity How love-bombing, mirroring, and spiritual language are used in romance fraud And why self-worth, boundaries, and nervous-system regulation are non-negotiable if you want real partnership If you’ve ever felt confused by someone who felt too good to be true, this episode will sharpen your discernment, strengthen your self-trust, and remind you that your standards are not the problem. Key Timestamps00:00 – I think I dated the Hinge Swindler06:30 – Romance fraud, intuition & why smart women still get scammed18:00 – Why I went on the apps (and what I was actually looking for)27:30 – The best first date of my life… and the feeling something was off38:00 – The missing bank card & the moment my body knew47:00 – When I calmly asked a question and he lost it1:01:30 – The 3×3 Dating Rule that saves you months of pain1:13:00 – Final lesson: standards, self-trust & healthy men Connect with Me: Want to work with me?

    #177: The Courage It Takes to Become the Woman You Asked to Be

    Most women think they’re struggling because something is wrong.Often, it’s because they’re expanding. In this solo episode, I break down the messy, confronting, often unspoken reality of courage: you build a life you once prayed for… and then you grow beyond the woman who set those goals. The discomfort you feel isn’t misalignment… it’s evolution. From visa investments, business restructuring, team transitions, and podcast heartbreak, to the inner-child fears and identity wars that surface when you choose a bigger life, I speak transparently about what it really takes to keep moving forward when a part of you is terrified of change.  I explain why courage isn’t confidence, why fear is a necessary prerequisite, and why the nervous system cannot regulate in the future, meaning every next level will feel uncertain until you learn to create internal safety as you step into the unknown. If you’re ambitious, in transition, outgrowing the old version of yourself, or quietly asking “Why does this feel so hard when I’m doing everything right?” then this episode will be fore you. Timestamps 00:00 What courage really is (and isn’t)04:52 Why women outgrow the life they once prayed for11:09 Why choice calms the nervous system (and keeps you going)12:11 Your system can’t regulate in the future, here’s why it matters21:36 The real cost of stepping into your next level29:47 The internal war between your past self & your expanded self39:48 Embodiment vs. information, why people feel your truth50:23 The strongest-desire question that unlocks courage58:46 Simplifying your life to create capacity for expansion63:41 Why I’m all-in on solo episodes (and why your feedback matters) Connect with Me: Want to work with me?
