    You’ve Never Not Been Loved (But You’ve Probably Missed It) with Christian Smith.

    The Real Reason Your Relationships Aren’t Working This conversation with Christian (Quality Relationships) goes past the generic relationship advice and into the uncomfortable stuff: \> Why “love yourself first" is annoyingly... the answer and how to do that. \> The loyalty myth \> Why strong, intelligent people still choose partners they’d never recommend to their friends \> How unmet needs quietly run your life \> Why cheating is rarely random Here’s the part you won’t like: Life has a way of sending you the people you need until you learn to love that behaviour, so it’s probably not just “douchebags.” You’re participating in the dynamic. That doesn’t make you unlovable or worthless. It makes you responsible. If you’re ready to stop looping the same story in a different body, this episode is your starting point. And if it stings a little? Sorry, not sorry. That’s where a Quality Relationship begins.

    We don't see the world as it is, we see the world as we are // Solo episode

    In this short, solo episode I unpack one of my favourite quotes by Anaïs Nin — a line that has stuck with me since the first time I heard it and has continued to evolve with me ever since. “We don’t see the world as it is. We see the world as we are.” We talk about how this actually shows up in real life — the days when everything and everyone feels irritating, versus the days where nothing seems to touch you. Why the same situation can feel wildly different depending on what’s happening inside you, and how your beliefs, moods, memories and blind spots quietly filter your entire experience of the world. This isn’t about blame or pretending life is always fine. It’s about noticing what keeps repeating, what’s triggering you, and asking better questions instead of outsourcing responsibility to the moon, other people, or bad timing. A gentle but uncomfortable invitation to look at your filters — and what they might be asking you to pay attention to.

    Are You Woo-Woo, or Just Avoiding Something? with Linda Willow Roberts.

    This conversation is for two kinds of people: The ones who love a little woo-woo deep dive but quietly use it to avoid reality aaaand the ones who don’t believe in any of it — astrology, energy, manifestation — and honestly just think it’s all a bit much. In this episode, I’m joined by Linda Willow Roberts for a grounded, practical conversation about how tools like astrology, Human Design, Lunar cycles and energy work are meant to be used — not as answers, not as excuses, and not as something to outsource your thinking to. We use the lead-up to Lunar New Year and the Fire Horse year as a real example of this: how collective narratives, energetic cycles, and “this is what this year means” language can either become insight… or a very neat way to avoid taking responsibility for your own choices. We talk about: Why “the universe” isn’t responsible for your decisions When spiritual modalities become bypasses instead of mirrors How scepticism can actually be an asset, not a limitation Using systems as reference points, not rulebooks Integrity, self-analysis, and personal responsibility as the real work Why insight without action changes nothing Living deliberately instead of reacting — whether you believe in energy or not This isn’t about believing harder. Just a conversation about how humans use frameworks — spiritual or otherwise — to understand themselves better, make cleaner decisions, and stop repeating the same patterns under different labels. https://lindawillowroberts.com.au/ https://www.facebook.com/Willowswayoflife

    2026 Year Of the Villain

    2026: The Year of the Villain Let’s get one thing straight: this is not about being a d******d. It’s about being done contorting yourself to keep everyone else comfortable. In this episode, Mel introduces 2026: The Year of the Villain and the five commandments that will probably offend your inner people-pleaser and quietly liberate the part of you that’s been exhausted from over-explaining, over-analysing and over-managing everyone else’s feelings. At some point in your life, you will be the villain in someone else’s story. Not because you’re cruel. But because you chose yourself. We unpack: Why you can’t control how people see or receive you (no matter how “nice” you are) Why analysing, understanding, and labelling doesn’t actually change the situation How anticipating other people’s reactions disconnects you from your own direction The difference between being a villain and being a d******d (important) And why the villain isn’t a punishment, it’s feedback This episode is for those who are tired of ducking, weaving, scripting conversations in their head, and shrinking their truth to keep the peace. Because villains don’t destroy stories. They shape the hero. 🎧 Prefer to read?

    This Isn’t It: How What’s Missing Creates Who You Are with Dr Olivier Becherel

    At some point, the work, the identity or the path we’ve invested everything into stops feeling true. That’s the moment we whisper, “this isn’t it.” For Dr. Olivier, that moment came after a lifetime in science, from a microscope at eight years old to a PhD in molecular genetics until the lab no longer gave him meaning. In this conversation, we explore what happens when you leave convenience behind to follow curiosity into the unknown. We go deep. We talk about the bridge between science and spirituality, the gaps that shape our deepest values and how documenting your life becomes the ultimate act of self-leadership. This isn’t just a story of leaving a career; it’s about the courage to be honest with yourself, to own every side of who you are, and to choose the life that finally feels like it. 00:00 Introduction and Warm Welcome 01:04 Diving into Molecular Genetics 01:24 The Impact of Environment on Genetics 04:23 Journey from Science to Spirituality 07:27 The Intersection of Science and Spirituality 20:40 Transition to Coaching and Personal Development 29:20 Exploring Mindset and Personal Growth 42:31 The Value of Adversity and Voids 45:56 Creating Change: Assessing True Desires 46:52 Understanding Injected Values 48:25 Linking Activities to Values 52:41 Overcoming Emotional Blocks 56:11 Developing Clear Strategies 56:53 Embracing Flexibility in Planning 58:34 Introduction to Human Design 01:02:21 Exploring Human Design Layers 01:05:43 The Value of Human Design 01:18:28 Integrating Multiple Modalities 01:21:17 The Beauty of Diversity and Unity 01:29:28 Book Recommendations and Final Thoughts

    This isn't it: Navigating Life’s Punches with Shil Shanghavi.

    At ten years old, Shil Shanghavi was punched in the face because he couldn’t say his own name. That moment could have silenced him forever but instead, it sparked a lifelong journey in finding his voice. In this moving conversation with Shil, he reveals how stuttering shaped his resilience, why “good” is forgettable, and the brutal lessons he learned from humiliation, rejection, and failure on stage. We unpack the micro-stories that build connection, the courage to call out uncomfortable truths, and the reinvention that turns pain into purpose. If you’ve ever believed your story isn’t worth telling or felt life hitting harder than you can take... this episode will show you what it means to turn punches into purpose. 60 second story challenge - HERE 5 worst presentations - HERE Find Shil on the gram - HERE

    This Isn’t It: “If effort alone built the body you wanted, you’d already have it" with Amy Bowe

    In this episode of This Isn’t It, I sit down with strength coach and podcast host Amy Bowe to talk about why women stay stuck despite doing “all the right things.” Amy shares why effort isn’t the issue — “women are strong, they’re capable, they’ve built amazing careers and families… but their physiology isn’t strong enough to hold the vision.” We dive into what she calls an elegant strategy — “simple, efficient and effective” — built on four essentials: energy, systems, time, and a table of support. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m doing the things, but it’s still not working,” this conversation will give you a new lens (and a new strategy) for building the body and life you actually want. 👉 Follow Amy on Instagram 👉 Learn more at Warrior School

    This Isn’t It: is it really depression or is guilt running the show? With Nerida Bint.

    ⚠️ Trigger warning: we talk about suicidal thoughts in this episode. This conversation with emotional intelligence coach Narita Bint goes deep into the messy middle between knowing “this isn’t it” and actually creating the life you want. She shares her story of battling depression and suicidal ideation while on the surface had a successful business and relationship.. and how learning to sit with her emotions changed everything. We talk about why so many women still feel stuck in business and their relationships even when they’re doing all the “right” things, the five emotions that quietly run the show, and why receiving — in relationships, money, or success — is one of the hardest (but most powerful) skills to learn. If you’ve been pushing through, building, achieving, but still wondering why it doesn’t feel the way you thought it would… this one’s for you. https://www.neridabint.com/master-course Code: PODCAST https://www.instagram.com/neridabint/
