    Living More Than One Life

    Paulina came home from sharing a stage with Tony Robbins, and her friends had never heard of him. This week we pick up where we left off and talk about living parallel lives: Bea's mum life vs work life, why "I don't live one life, I live many" became Paulina's motto, and why so many people say "you're so inspiring" but never change a thing. Lisa explains how limiting beliefs form in our first seven years, Bea shares the "peaks and pits" ritual she does with her kids, and Paulina reveals the 21st birthday gift every child in her life is getting.  Our question for you: where are you comfortable when you know you should embrace the uncomfortable? Pull up a chair and join the conversation. If this episode resonated, follow the show and share it with a friend who's ready for a change.

    From Broke in the Cheap Seats to sharing a Stage with Tony Robbins

    In 2018, Paulina was broke, sitting in the cheapest seats at a Tony Robbins event and wishing that one day she'd be down in the VIP area. Eight years later, she was on that same stage, sharing it with Tony Robbins and Steven Bartlett. In this episode Paulina tells the full-circle story: staring out at a sea of red seats, her Apple Watch flagging a heart rate of 140 when she didn't even feel nervous, and only realising the magnitude once she walked off stage alone. Bhavna shares the view from backstage, Lisa explains why neither of them would get on stage for love or money, and Lisa reads Paulina's human design: the storyteller who shares her wisdom after a period of reflection. Timestamps 00:00 Intro 00:38 We ended up on stage with Tony Robbins and Steven Bartlett 01:00 2018: broke, in the cheap seats, wishing for the VIP area 02:16 Eight years later: on stage before Tony Robbins 03:50 "All I could see were the empty red seats" 04:30 Bea's view from backstage 06:55 Seeing Tony Robbins live, and why New Zealand feels so small 09:25 Why Lisa and Bea would never get on stage 09:43 "It's never been easy for me": being on stage is a learned skill 11:34 The Apple Watch alarm: heart rate 140 13:20 Your body knows before your mind does 15:55 Lisa reads Paulina's human design 17:50 Do you actually enjoy being on stage? 20:40 Waiting for the invitation 21:40 "My gut is on holiday" 22:50 Same arena, eight years later: déjà vu 23:13 Outro Pull up a chair and join the conversation.

    Friction, Boundaries and How Not to Care So Much

    Some people come into your life for a reason, some for a season, and some for a lifetime. But how do you know which is which? This week Lisa explains the Gate 6 friction transit (your chart is the landscape, transits are the weather), and we each get honest about friction and boundaries: Paulina's journey from fortress walls to no walls and back to healthy boundaries, Lisa on why friction is really just a "discussion", and Bhavna (B), who avoids friction altogether, shares her secret to not caring so much: control what you can, and zoom out. Will this matter in 3, 6 or 12 months? We also get into overthinking, having an honest sounding board, and why routine might be the thing your chaotic life needs.  Here is the song we mentioned, give it a listen - https://open.spotify.com/track/0uX2HcsrFs4HJwKXm91eLR?si=c30ad7cc3da84a0c

    The Penta: What Happens When Our Energies Combine

    What happens when three very different women bring their energy together? This week, Paulina asks Lisa to unpack the Penta, a human design idea about what happens when three to five people come together, whether that’s a family, a business team or three friends starting a podcast. Our combined chart explains a lot, including why we’re brilliant at deep conversations and terrible at sticking to a structure.  We also talk about choosing business partners by design, whether compatibility matters in love, finding your purpose, Paulina’s honest reflection on why she chose not to have children, and Lisa on finally asking “what do I want?” at 55. Our takeaway: ask yourself the big questions now, not in 20 years. You don’t need the answers yet. Neither do we. Timestamps   01:08 Welcome back: what is a Penta? 03:42 Our combined chart, and why we’re so disorganised 07:19 Human design in business: finding complementary partners 08:09 Does compatibility matter in love? 10:20 The practical one and the emotional one 12:15 How do you find your life’s purpose? 15:43 Why it’s so hard to answer “what brings me joy?” 16:44 Paulina: why I chose not to have children 19:11 Lisa: kids at 24 and freedom at 55 21:17 Our takeaway: embrace your weirdness   Pull up a chair and join the conversation.

    What Does a Rich Life Actually Mean?

    What does a rich life actually mean to you, and when did you last stop to ask? In our first episode, the three of us answer that question for ourselves, from three different decades and three very different starting points. Bhavna shares the moment everything shifted for her: handing her baby over at preschool and thinking, “Is this how it’s done?” Lisa reflects on growing up Gen X, following every rule, and asking “who am I now?” once the kids have left home and the business is no longer her life. Paulina takes us back to being a 27-year-old general manager with 130 staff, going through a divorce, and the life coach who asked her one question that changed everything: what does a happy life look like? We also get into: Why so many people can’t answer “what brings you joy?”Programming vs conditioning, and why we live the way we doWho decided a day should look like this anyway?We leave you with three questions: What brings you joy? What does a rich life look like to you? And are we living in a simulation? Pull up a chair and join the conversation. If this resonates, follow the show and send us the questions you want us to dig into next.
