    Ep. 40. "True connection is love, not hate" with Healer & Channel Erika Alaura

    “If I have this issue or this issue, then I'm a match. I'm connected to my family. Whereas, we want someone to be connected to their family or their friends or their community through things like love or sense of humor or adventurousness, or mental intellectual contribution” With Erika Alaura, Healer & Channel In this episode Erika Alaura shares her journey from discovering metaphysics and tarot as a teenager to becoming a healer, channel and creator of her own healing modality. The conversation explores what led Erika to healing and why readings eventually felt different from deeper transformational work, her journey from corporate life to following intuition and trusting the breadcrumbs, and the evolution of her work through Spiritual Response Therapy (SRT), ThetaHealing® and her own emerging approach. Erika speaks about healing as a process of stripping away conditioning and remembering who you truly are, and explores how subconscious beliefs, family patterns and inherited ways of being can shape our lives. She shares what it feels like to become a channel, learning to trust what comes through, and reflects on intuition, divine timing, travel and the many ways life can guide us towards change. The conversation also moves into the experience of being a healer while continuing to work on yourself, navigating pricing and receiving, moving beyond the “broke healer” archetype, and recognising when something is being activated within you while working with a client. We explore confidence, visibility, self-worth, rest, stillness and creating enough space to listen to the body and nervous system. The episode closes with an energetic clearing exploring receiving, abundance, self-worth, safety, confidence and the freedom to be fully yourself. Notes and references Diane Stein ~ All Women Are Healers ~ The book Erika credits with first awakening her curiosity about healing and the many ways people can facilitate transformation.

    Ep. 39. Finding our core truth with Hypnotherapist Charlotte Hannett

    “I saw alcohol as a route to connection and a route to relaxation and a route to switching my mind off. I thought something would be missing...” With Charlotte Hannett, Hypnotherapist In her work, Charlotte supports people to create positive change, working with things like anxiety, habits, self-belief, confidence, overwhelm and patterns that may be holding them back.  But what really comes through in this conversation is that, for Charlotte, the work isn’t so much about the symptom or the particular thing someone comes in with. It’s about the person underneath it ~ reconnecting with yourself, your inner knowing and how you see yourself. We talk about hypnotherapy and some of the misconceptions around it, but we also go well beyond the modality. We talk about growing up in a small town, travelling and finding our own paths, becoming practitioners, learning not to therapise our friends, motherhood, dating, alcohol, self-validation and what it means to live in greater connection with yourself. And because Charlotte and I have known each other for so long, there are a few throwbacks to our younger selves in there too. References & resources Caroline Crenshaw — Hypnotherapist — Charlotte mentions Caroline as the hypnotherapist who first encouraged her to explore hypnotherapy. Marisa Peer — Rapid Transformational Therapy® — Creator of Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®), a therapeutic approach incorporating hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, NLP, CBT and neuroscience. Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists — Hypnotherapy FAQs — Answers common questions about hypnosis, hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis About Charlotte   Charlotte is passionate about guiding people to create positive change in their lives. She believes hypnotherapy can empower people to let go of what has been holding them back and step into the best version of themselves. Whether it’s letting go of something they know isn’t good for them — alcohol, gambling, vaping, sugar, excess weight, anxiety, negative thoughts, guilt, anger, regret, low self-esteem, low confidence, past negative experiences, toxic relationship patterns, health anxiety, inner conflict, low self-belief or overwhelm — Charlotte supports her clients to reconnect with their inner strength and create meaningful change.

    Ep. 38. "Supervision for the Soul" with Dalice Pinnell

    “Sometimes saying no is about standing in your mana and your vulnerability.” With Dalice Pinnell, Social Worker Supervisor In this episode, we talk about the deeper layers of Social work supervision, burnout, boundaries, and the soul of supporting others. Dalice shares here experience of what it means to bring wairua, intention, lived experience, and nervous system awareness into professional practice, while staying connected to ourselves and our own wellbeing. This includes being aware of our about energy leaks (personally and professionally), saying no, moving through emotion, Māori healing, and the importance of creating spaces where practitioners can feel held, honest, nourished, and more fully themselves. References & resources Te Whare Tapa Whā Māori health and wellbeing model developed by Tā Mason Durie. The model understands wellbeing through four connected dimensions: taha wairua, taha hinengaro, taha tinana, and taha whānau, with whenua as an important foundation. Brené Brown — Dare to Lead List of Values Brené Brown’s values resources are mentioned in relation to getting clear on what matters, how we practise, and how we live with more intention. Her Dare to Lead values list invites people to narrow down to two core values. Māori Ora by Hira Nathan Guided journal grounded in mātauranga Māori and intentional living in a Māori way. Māori Ora is described as a guided journal grounded in mātauranga Māori, supporting simple daily habits and more balanced, intentional living. About Dalice   Born, bred, and supporting on the beautiful East Coast of Aotearoa in Otautahi right by the beautiful moana. Raised Pakeha and later learning to walk gently alongside my Mana Wahine, who I never knew existed! Today, I am passionate about both worlds, especially the wairua. Reflecting back, my Soul has always dominated me. I was so full of feelings, intuition, big emotions, wonderings and when I found this new found word - Wairua - and that I come from this other beautiful world too, everything started to align. My mahi is all about guiding professionals back into alignment with their wairua, their energy, their whole self. I have personally experienced and often find that those who care who care for others often forget to replenish their own inner world — and that inner world is exactly what they carry into every space they step into. I find myself saying, ‘You are who you take to mahi.’ So let that self be a grounded, steady, heart-led version of you. When your wairua is nourished, your presence becomes a calming force for the vulnerable people you walk alongside.

    Ep. 37. “When anger moves you to truth” with Alison Braithwaite

    “Taking one deep conscious breath is the ultimate prayer. When you’re breathing in, you’re borrowing from the earth, and when you’re breathing out, you’re giving back.” With Alison Braithwaite, author & academic In this discussion we touch on our relationship to the workplace (specifically corporations) and how work can act to disintegrate us, and often...

    Ep. 36. "Transition as Art in Relationship" with Alison Armstrong

    “People don't commit to each other, they commit to how they’re going to relate to the other person ~ with kindness, compassion, acceptance, love, and cherishing.” With Alison Armstrong, Author, speaker and thought-leader In this second episode with Alison Armstrong (the first one is here), I speak with Alison about relationships, safety, duty, transition rituals, and the quiet shifts that happen as love deepens over time. Together we explore FIFO relationship dynamics, the return of a partner to the home space after work, the nervous system impact of arrivals and departures, how men and women can experience care, purpose, and commitment differently, and why unspoken expectations can create tension. This conversation moves through family duty, ageing parents, dating, boundaries, healing, and what it means to commit not just to a person, but to the way we choose to relate , with kindness, respect, honesty, and love as a daily practice. In this episode 00:00 ~ Welcome and Context 02:56 ~ Alison Returns and Heart Check 05:07 Healing with Mom and Duty 10:54 FIFO Homecoming Transitions 27:45 Safety and Commitment Shifts 36:59 Ever Presence of Death 39:48 Purpose and Depression 43:36 Boundaries That Work 52:07 Life Pie Planning 58:40 Dating and Rapport Tips Notes and references Listen to our previous episode The Queen's Code  A fiction book / audiobook that explores the engrained dynamics between men and women and invites us to consider how we contribute to shaping our own relationships through out assumptions, inviting us to see relationships in a new way. Alison's courses Extreme Freedom The Freedom from being ordinary Understanding Men & Understanding Women Understanding Sex & Intimacy About Alison Armstrong Alison Armstrong’s exploration of human behaviour began in 1991, with her decision to study men: “To find out how I was bringing out the worst in them. And hopefully, how to bring out the best.” Her success in understanding men naturally led to studying women’s behavior and making vital connections between the two. As her work evolved over decades, Alison now illuminates human characteristics that precede and express themselves regardless of gender, age and upbringing. She distinguishes normal human instincts that compel both men and women to behave in ways that contradict and undermine our own purposes, goals, values, needs and relationships. Besides fulfilling the need to understand “Why” people behave as they do, Alison offers practical, partnership-based alternatives. Through her seminars, books, online programs and media contributions, she has been giving millions of people access to more fulfilling lives, loving relationships, stronger families and productive organisations. Alison is a sought-after speaker and t...
