    Episode 60: The Birth Revolution Has Begun. Inside Hygieia House with Fiona O'Shaughnessy.

    One in three women experience birth trauma. One in ten develop PTSD as a result. And seventy percent of that trauma is caused by the care providers themselves. These are not statistics we can scroll past. Today I am sitting down with Fiona O'Shaughnessy, one of the directors of Hygieia Health — a not-for-profit organisation committed to healing and preventing birth related trauma. They are a community of women, men, doulas, midwives, doctors, health professionals and supporters who believe that birth matters. That it is a sacred rite of passage. And that every woman deserves to be treated with kindness, dignity and respect. In this episode we cover: How Hygieia Health was born out of a single meeting of birth workers, mothers and grandmothers who simply wanted more options for womenWhat happened to birth during COVID — and how Hygieia Health showed up when women needed it mostThe 500-person event in Lennox Head during Birth Trauma Awareness Week that stopped everyone in the roomThe four pillars of Hygieia Health — advocacy, education, resources and creating sanctuaries for womenHygieia House — the first physical manifestation of their dream, opening in the Northern Rivers right nowWhat Hygieia House offers — a community hub, a place of learning, accommodation for mothers, and a space for birth workers to practise under one roofHow you can support — through donations, becoming a founding member for fifty dollars a year, volunteering or simply sharing their storyTheir guiding vision is one that I carry with me long after this conversation ended.

    Episode 59: Double Down on Your Woo: Frequency, Intuition & Creating Your Reality.

    What if the way you think, speak, feel and move through the world is broadcasting a frequency and what if you became deeply intentional about what you're broadcasting? In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways after watching a fascinating documentary exploring frequency, sound, healing, consciousness and the incredible possibilities of the human body. From the frequency of food and the environments in which it grows, to sound healing, music, chanting, humming and the power of your own voice this episode is a deep dive into the idea that frequency matters. As a sound healing practitioner, I was particularly reminded of something I sometimes forget in everyday life: we have access to tools for shifting our own energetic state all the time. You don't necessarily need a sound healer, tuning forks or crystal bowls. You can hum. You can chant. You can tone. You can listen to music. You can become intentional about the sounds and frequencies you surround yourself with. I also explore the fascinating world of the pineal gland, intuition and the idea of the third eye as a quantum antenna, along with some of the incredible stories of healing and human possibility featured in the documentary. But ultimately, this episode isn't about convincing you to believe anything. It's about asking you: What if you stopped putting limits on what is possible? What if you became more intentional about your thoughts, your beliefs, your energy and the frequency you're broadcasting every single day? Because your thoughts become beliefs. Your beliefs influence your actions. And your actions create your reality. So I'm doubling down on my woo. I'm documenting the journey, exploring what happens when I become radically intentional about my inner world, and I'm bringing you along for all of it. If there's one thing I want you to take from this episode, it's this: Anything is possible. Start believing it. And then go create your reality.

    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. New episodes every Wednesday at 6am Tickets to the Woman Empire Project Networking Event: Friday 24th July 📍 Hinze Dam View Cafe — Private Room, Gold Coast ⏰ 9:30am — 11:30am 🎟 $34.95 https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-woman-empire-project-networking-event-tickets-1991742734134?aff=oddtdtcreator My graphic designer: Hannah Appel | Concept Dreaming www.conceptdreaming.com Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda: Instagram: @petaleabrenda | @thewomanempireproject Website: www.peta-leabrenda.com

    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.
