    THE ONE ABOUT CONNECTION THROUGH HEART-LED LEADERSHIPWith Michel Pikoulas OAM What if the smallest interaction with a young person could change the way they see themselves and the direction of their life?

    Is Growth Even Worth It..?

    The one where we explore what happens after taking the leap, while still waiting to land. We hear a lot about the courage it takes to leave the job, end the relationship, set the boundary, have the difficult conversation or choose a different direction. We hear far less about what comes afterwards: the uncertainty, grief, doubt and discomfort that can exist before the next chapter has taken shape. In this episode, Liz describes this space as a trust fall: the period where someone has released what was familiar but cannot yet see what will catch them. Drawing on her own experience after leaving teaching, Liz explores: • Why discomfort does not automatically mean a decision was wrong• How growth can carry both possibility and loss• The cost of choosing change and the cost of remaining where you are• What happens when the mind becomes louder during uncertainty• How the nervous system responds when safety and predictability change• The difference between an internal pull towards growth and pressure created by comparison• Why rest, stability and integration are valid seasons too• How the mind, body, values, intuition, lived evidence and community can become the safety net beneath a trust fall You can trust yourself and still feel afraid. You can know a decision was needed and still grieve what it changed. You can choose growth and still need other people to help hold the net beneath you. This episode invites you to consider: What is this season asking of me?Am I resting and integrating, or avoiding something that needs my attention?What might it cost me to change?What is it already costing me to remain where I am?What did I know when I made my decision? Liz also introduces the emerging YOU Sessions, a personalised coaching experience that brings together the YOU Framework, lived experience and relevant insights from Human Design and astrology to help people understand and support their own mind, body and heart.

    Rewiring the Nervous System: Moving Beyond Survival Mode with Daryl McInnes

    The one where Liz and Daryl explore the nervous system, the patterns that keep people in survival mode and what becomes possible when they begin to feel safe within themselves. In this episode of Mindkind, Liz is joined by Daryl McInnes, a nervous system educator, framework founder, speaker and author. Together, they discuss how childhood experiences can shape the patterns carried into adulthood, why slowing down or resting can feel unsafe and how nervous system dysregulation can influence the way people work, parent, lead and relate to others. Daryl shares her personal journey from growing up in a caregiving role to building a career supporting others. The conversation explores the connection between the brain and body, the role of EMDR, why mindset work alone may not create lasting change and how repeated experiences of safety can help create new patterns. Daryl also shares practical tools for regulating the nervous system, interrupting automatic reactions and responding to everyday challenges with greater awareness. Liz and Daryl discuss the importance of self-compassion, allowing children to see their parents make mistakes and recognising that meaningful change is a gradual and ongoing process. This is an honest and practical conversation about moving beyond survival mode, building the capacity to hold more and creating a life that feels safer, more expansive and more aligned with the authentic self.

    Realities of The Midlife Squeeze with Dr Jeremy Keh

    The one where we explore women’s health, the realities of perimenopause and what becomes possible when we learn to fill our own cup. In this episode of Mindkind, I’m joined by Dr Jeremy Keh, a medical professional who brings warmth, humour and a refreshingly human perspective to health and wellbeing. We talk about the hormonal changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause, the pressure of caring for children and ageing parents, and the challenge of balancing relationships, careers and our own needs. Jeremy shares his perspective on navigating the overwhelming amount of health information available, why there is no single solution that works for everyone and the importance of looking beyond quick fixes. We explore self-care, burnout, open communication and why supporting our health begins with recognising ourselves as individuals. This is an honest and compassionate conversation about breaking generational taboos, making women’s health part of everyday conversation and learning to meet ourselves, and one another, with greater understanding, kindness and compassion.

    What Helps You Feel Safe Within Yourself? | Decode Yourself Series EP2

    The one where we explore what helps you feel safe within yourself and how to make choices that feel true to who you are. In Episode 2 of the Decode Yourself Series, we explore inner safety, self-support and choice through two reflective tools: Authority in Human Design and the Moon in astrology. We look at how your Authority may offer clues about your decision-making process, whether you need time, space, a bodily response, a supportive environment or the opportunity to hear yourself speak. We also explore how your Moon sign may help you understand your emotional needs, instinctive reactions and what supports you in returning to yourself. This episode is an invitation to notice the difference between clarity and pressure, comfort and truth, and intuition and expectation. You will be guided through a practical reflection and a simple decision journal designed to help you gather evidence from your own experiences. This is a compassionate conversation about learning to listen to yourself, honour your needs and remain connected to who you are, even when the answer is not immediately clear. Your chart can offer a clue. Your experience gives that clue meaning. You are the person who chooses what to do with it. Want to help a young person understand themselves more deeply? YOU Decoded is a personalised experience for teenagers aged 14 to 18. It helps young people explore how they make decisions, process emotions, recognise their strengths and understand what they need to feel supported. Rather than giving teenagers another label, YOU Decoded gives them practical language and reflective tools to build self-awareness, confidence and a more compassionate relationship with themselves.

    Education for the Next Generation feat. Liz Volpe

    The one where we reimagine education and explore what becomes possible when young people are given the tools, skills and freedom to discover who they truly are. In this episode of Mindkind, I’m joined by Liz Volpe, entrepreneur, education innovator and founder of Tomorrow Hub. We talk about why the traditional education system does not work for every child, how curiosity and creativity can be lost along the way, and why preparing young people for the future requires more than academic results. Liz shares her journey from running businesses to creating life-changing entrepreneurship programs for young people across Australia and Cambodia. We explore the importance of real-world learning, emotional intelligence, resilience, adaptability and giving young people greater agency over their lives. This is an honest and hopeful conversation about challenging outdated approaches to education, recognising how capable young people truly are and creating learning environments that prepare them for life, not simply for the next test.
