    Episode 57: The Retreat That Has Been Living in My Heart. Temple of Her, Bali November 2026

    Today I am taking you inside everything. My Temple of Her Sacred Balinese Retreat. What it is, what it looks like, what you will experience, and why I believe it is going to be one of the most transformational things you will ever say yes to. I have been to Bali four times. And every single time I land, my soul sighs. I feel it the moment I arrive. That deep connection to self, to the Balinese culture, to the land, to everything. Bali holds a piece of my heart that I cannot put into words. And it was always going to be the first place I took my women on an international retreat. Temple of Her is a four-night five-day Sacred Balinese Retreat happening this November 2026. And this episode is going to answer every single question you have been sitting with. In this episode I talk about: What the retreat experience looks and feels like from the moment you land in BaliYour private villa suite — poolside with your own private pool and the Ubud jungle right outside, or garden suite with stunning infinity pool and jungle viewsThe sacred experiences lined up — including a water purification healing ceremony, the Pyramids of Chi ancient sound healing, a Balinese cooking class, cacao ceremonies, yoga, connection practices and moreA 90-minute full body massage included in your retreat experienceThe secret surprise experiences that I am keeping just for when you arriveThe final night secret dinner location that I cannot stop thinking aboutYour private driver Wyann who has been the family driver since 2018 and will be with us the entire timeWhy we are in Venus Retrograde during this retreat — and why that is the most perfect and beautiful thingThe story of my Auntie Laureen and why Bali lives in my soul the way it doesWhy the whisper you keep hearing is the one you need to followThis retreat is for the woman who is yearning for deep connection with herself.

    Episode 56: The Pleasurepreneur Way. Making More Money With More Pleasure with Regan Figg

    What if pleasure isn't the reward you earn once you finally make it — but the actual fuel that gets you there? In this episode I sit down with Regan Figg, the OG Pleasurepreneur, for one of the most fun and refreshing conversations I have had on this podcast. Regan is a published author, podcast host and pleasure-led business coach helping women who are far too fabulous to be broke, bored or burnt out by their business make way more money with way more pleasure. We talk about how Regan built her entire coaching philosophy after healing from perinatal mood disorders and discovering that leading with pleasure was the missing piece. Why so many women undercharge, overgive and accept prices that don't actually feel good. Regan's hilarious and brilliant pricing formula — yes, we are talking peacocks, pizza and vajazzling. The real neuroscience behind why pleasure activates our reward system and makes us more focused, motivated and magnetic in our business. Why novelty is a powerful tool when you feel stuck or blocked. And how Regan wrote her book from the middle out by simply choosing the most enjoyable way to do it. By the end of this episode you will walk away with: A completely new lens on pleasure — not as an indulgence, but as a legitimate business strategy and performance toolRegan's pricing exercise to help you charge what actually feels good instead of what you think you should chargeAn understanding of why your energy and resentment around pricing is silently turning clients awayA simple practice for breaking through business blocks using novelty and pleasurePermission to stop pushing and start choosing what you actually want to do in your businessThe reminder that your desires don't need to make sense yet — they are information, and they are worth honouring This episode is for every woman in business who has been pushing, forcing and doing things because she thinks she should — instead of because she actually wants to. Get curious about what brings you pleasure. That is where it all begins.

    Episode 55: No One Does It Like You. The Woman Empire Project, Monthly Events.

    This one is close to my heart. Today I am taking you behind the scenes of everything where The Woman Empire Project actually came from, what it cost me, what it taught me, and where it is going next. I share the lightning bolt moment in my hallway that started all of this. The $6,000 event that left me out of pocket and completely burnt out. The 12 weeks I worked 13 hours a day as a mum of four and what I would do completely differently now. And the vision that kept coming back to me over and over again until I finally said okay, this is happening. Because The Woman Empire Project networking events are launching. Monthly. On the Gold Coast. And I want you there. In this episode I talk about why I believe in-person events are the most powerful thing you can invest in right now. Why I kept talking myself out of the networking idea and why I finally stopped. What the events are going to look like every month. And why no one on earth can do what you do the way that only you can do it. This episode is for every woman who has been sitting on an idea and telling herself someone else is already doing it. Someone else is already doing it better. Who am I to do this? You are the one it got given to. And it is time to take the step.

    Episode 54: The Things I Don't Talk About : Anxiety, the Dark, Food Fear and Finding My Way Through.

    This episode touches on anxiety and intrusive thoughts, please be gentle with yourself as you listen. This one is personal. Really personal. Last week I had a really bad 24 hours. My front door smashed in the middle of the night and I spent the whole night awake, scared and unsafe in my own home. I took it to my Instagram stories and the response was overwhelming — so many of you reached out, so many of you were going through the exact same thing. And I knew I needed to come in here and go a little deeper. Because anxiety has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I watched my mum have extreme panic attacks. I was calling ambulances for her as a child. And yet I have never allowed it to be a label I wear or a story I tell. I just deal with it and I get on with it. But in this episode I am getting really honest about what that actually looks like. I talk about my deep rooted fear of the dark and where I believe that comes from. My food anxiety that started two years ago and completely changed the way I eat every single day. The worst year of my life in 2017 when I could not be left alone and started having harm thoughts about my son, something I have never spoken about publicly before. The psychologist who made everything worse. And how I have built a toolkit over the years that genuinely gets me through. This episode is for every woman who is carrying something quietly. Who has never said it out loud. Who thinks she is the only one. You are not alone. And you can get through it. In this episode I cover the tools that help me most — Reiki, havening, calling in my angels, Joe Dispenza meditations — and why building your own toolkit is the most important thing you can do if anxiety is something you live with. This is one of the most vulnerable things I have shared on this podcast.

    Episode 53: Family Constellations, Shamanic Womancraft and Red Thread with Antonia Kersting.

    What if the patterns you keep repeating, the anxiety you carry, the pain in your body, the way you love and parent and show up in the world — what if some of it was never actually yours? In this episode I sit down with counsellor, family constellations facilitator and shamanic womancraft practitioner Antonia Kersting for one of the most profound and eye opening conversations I have had on this podcast. Antonia explains what family constellations actually is, how it works, and why it is one of the most powerful healing modalities available to women right now. We talk about what family constellations actually is and how a workshop works, how much of what we carry — our anxiety, our patterns, our pain — comes from generations before us, what intergenerational trauma really means and how it shows up in our everyday lives, the three orders of love and what happens when they go out of balance, how shamanic womancraft and family constellations weave together to create profound and lasting change, the difference between seeing a pattern and actually being free of it, and the miraculous shifts Antonia has witnessed in her clients including chronic physical symptoms disappearing and years of infertility resolving. I also share my own deeply personal story of carrying my mother's pain in my womb — and the moment it was returned and I never felt it again. This episode is for every woman who feels like she keeps repeating the same patterns no matter how much work she does. Who senses that some of what she is carrying is older than her. Who is ready to go seven generations back — and finally be free. You are the result of the love of thousands. And this episode will remind you of that. About Antonia Kersting: Antonia is a counsellor, family constellations facilitator and shamanic womancraft practitioner with a deep passion for helping women reconnect with their innate power. Drawing on years of experience in mental health, group processes and ancestral healing, she weaves together systemic constellations, somatic practices and rites of passage to support clients in returning to their authenticity and strength. Her workshops and private practice offer a safe and nurturing space for healing, empowering individuals to move beyond limitations and live an embodied, sovereign life.

    Episode 52: How to Stop Holding Yourself to Everyone Else's Standard.

    How do you do it all? It is the question I get asked more than almost anything else. And for years my answer has been the same, I just do what I have to do. But today I am finally breaking that down. Because that answer has never actually helped anyone. I am recording this episode hiding in my bedroom while dinner is on the stove, my kids have scissors out in the lounge room, and my fifteen year old is on babysitting duty. And honestly? That is kind of the whole point. Because the secret to doing it all, the four kids, the business, the self-care, the big boundaries, all of it, comes down to one thing. Dropping the expectation that you have to have it together. In this episode I get really honest about how I have raised four children with big boundaries and zero mum guilt. Why I have never once held myself to the expectation of what a mother should look like. How I take two hour baths, go on international holidays by myself, and show up for my life without apology. And why I believe that the expectations we hold ourselves to are the very thing keeping so many women stuck, overwhelmed and running on empty. This episode is for every woman and every mother who is doing everything and still feels like it is not enough. It is your reminder that it gets to be messy. It gets to be imperfect. And it gets to be yours, completely on your terms. Join me on November 5th-9th in Bali at Temple of HER Retreat https://www.peta-leabrenda.com/retreat New episodes every Wednesday at 6am.

    Episode 51: The Truth about Intimacy with Leah Amy Elson.

    What does intimacy actually mean? Because it is not what most of us think. In this episode I sit down with Leah Amy Elson — a Certified Embodied Relationship and Intimacy Practitioner and Somatic Healer — for one of the most honest, open and deeply moving conversations I have had on this podcast. Leah shares that intimacy is where excitement meets vulnerability and once you hear it explained that way, you will never see your relationship the same way again. This episode is for the woman who feels disconnected from her partner even though she is not alone. The woman who has lost the spark and doesn't know how to find her way back. The woman who is done waiting for things to get better and is ready to actually do something about it. You will walk away from this episode understanding what real intimacy looks and feels like, why asking for what you want will save your relationship, how to reignite desire after it has gone quiet, what somatic healing actually is and how it brings you back into your body, and what it truly means to love yourself so fully that any relationship in your life only ever adds to it. About Leah Amy Elson Leah Amy Elson is a Certified Embodied Relationship and Intimacy Practitioner and Somatic Healer who helps women rediscover themselves and find self-worth through body-based practices. She works with couples to heal attachment and relational wounds, reignite desire in long-term relationships, and explore erotic alchemy together. Her work combines the biochemistry of the nervous system, somatic experiencing, inner parts psychotherapy and communication tools to create a felt sense of real and lasting change. She believes when individuals do this work, the exponential impact is potent — it is how we heal the world.
