    The Parenting Episode Every Parent Needs: EQ, Screens & Raising Humans Who Thrive in a Modern World with Dr Coulson

    Hey legend, If you’ve ever looked at the world your kids are growing up in and thought… “How are they meant to thrive in this?” ...  this episode is your lifeline. Screens. Social media. Meltdowns. Pressure. It’s a lot, and most of us are just trying to raise kind, confident humans without losing our minds (or our patience) in the process. I’m six months pregnant, deeply curious, and joined by Dr Justin Coulson: co-host of Parental Guidance, author, researcher, and dad of six girls, to unpack what’s really going on behind modern parenting. Here’s a taste of what you’ll get in this conversation: The heartbreaking moment that changed Justin’s life forever...get tissues.The truth about screens, social media, and gaming... and how it’s quietly stealing our kids’ focus, confidence, and connection.A simple 5-step process for handling big emotions (in little humans and grown ones) so you stop firefighting and start actually connecting.The three psychological needs every child must have met to thrive: connection, competence, autonomy. This framework changes everything.The line every child needs to hear most: How to say it... and still hold firm boundaries.The one after-dinner ritual that fast-tracks connection (and peace) at home. Steal it tonight.Why public speaking is a parenting superpower for the next generation:  and how to build it around your dinner table. You’ll walk away with practical scripts for emotional moments, clarity on how to protect your kids from screen overwhelm, and a grounded confidence that you’re doing better than you think. If this hits home, forward it to a parent who’s doing their best in a world that’s doing the most. They need this one, too.

    The Truth About Australia’s Education System... And How to Protect Your Child From It

    Hey legend, A few weeks ago, I went on what can only be described as a passionate rage on Instagram. It started with a news article about a new pilot program in WA introducing full-time school for four-year-olds...  And ended with my DMs full of stories, questions, and a whole lot of parents saying: “I feel like the system is breaking my kid.” So, I recorded one of the longest, most personal, most important episodes I’ve ever done —  and then realised it was too big to fit into one week. So I’ve split it. 🎧 This week: Part One — Why I Believe the Australian Education System is Broken. I’m breaking down: The shocking stats on teacher burnout and student wellbeingWhy our current system isn’t working (for kids, teachers or families)What we can learn from countries like Finland and DenmarkAnd why starting school earlier might actually be hurting our kids, not helping them This one is equal parts research, rage, and raw truth.  If you’re a parent, teacher, or anyone who gives a damn about the next generation — this one’s for you. Next week, I’ll be answering listener questions and diving into alternative models like Montessori, Steiner, homeschooling, and how to actually choose the right approach for your child. But for now…  Start with Part One. Because it’s time we stop saying “it could be worse” — and start demanding better. Big love,  B 🤍 As always, please don't forget to hit Subscribe! xxx

    Tony Robbins Event, Men Doing the Work, Dating in Your 30s & Sibling Roasts (Feat. My Brother)

    Hey legend, New episode just dropped and it’s one of my all-time favourites because 1) my little brother Trav absolutely roasts me, 2) he gives the most grounded male perspective on “personal development,” and 3) the convo will make your partner way more open to this world without you nagging or dragging. Inside the episode: The honest male take on the “self-help” world and what actually got him on board (hint: not my TED Talks at family dinner, but results he could see and feel).Tony Robbins, state management, and the three levers that flipped Trav from stuck to action.Money mindset from a bloke’s lens: separating “wanting more” from “being greedy,” and how that shifted our whole family narrative.Dating in your 30s: the reality of apps, why organic connection feels rare, and what men are actually looking for beyond vibes.Why schools crush curiosity and what kids really need to learn to thrive in the real world (EQ over algebra).Rapid-fire sibling chaos: the dish-soaking debate, my driving, and the song that sums up Trav’s life.Why you’ll love it: If you’ve wished your partner would “get” your growth journey, this is the episode to share. Trav speaks bloke. Zero fluff. Practical, science-backed, and deeply human.If you’re single, it’ll make you feel seen. If you’re partnered, it’ll help you connect better. If you’re a parent, you’ll walk away with fresh language for emotional intelligence at home.And yes, you’ll laugh. A lot. If the episode lands, forward it to the person you love, the mate who thinks manifestation is “woo,” or your sister who needs a good belly laugh today.

    The Real Reason You Keep Comparing Yourself (and How to End It)

    Hey Legend, I hit record this week with zero notes and no plan. Just a gut feeling that this conversation needed to happen. And wow… it landed. Because lately, I’ve noticed a pattern, in my clients, my friends, even myself of falling into the comparison trap. That creeping thought of: “I should be further along.” “I thought I’d be more successful by now.” “Why does it feel like everyone else is winning?” We know better… but that doesn’t stop the spiral, does it? In this episode, I talk about:  ✨ Why comparison makes zero logical sense  ✨ How social media hijacks your peace (and how to take it back)  ✨ The antidote to “I’m not doing enough”  ✨ How to know your season and define your version of success Because here’s the truth: you cannot compare apples to oranges.  Your path, your timing, your values they’re your compass. And if you’ve ever felt behind, or questioned your pace in life or business this one will bring you back home to yourself. 🎧 Listen now And if this episode hits (which I know it will), share it to your stories and tag me @iambreannamay, it helps more women find these messages right when they need them most. Big heart,  B 🤍 P.S. If you’re a coach or leader who helps others grow  but you don’t yet know how to identify or align with people’s values (the true driver of all motivation) come to The Mind School, Nov 23–28 in Perth.

    Messages from the Other Side… or Just Your Imagination? Divine Guidance...or Coincidence? With Shaman Natalie

    Hey legend, Ever felt like you’re doing all the right things ... journaling, therapy, self-help books,  and still feel… off?   Like you can’t quite explain what’s wrong, but something in your body knows it’s not right? That’s usually when I call Nat. She’s the person I recommend when life feels crunchy and nothing else cuts it. I just say, “Book a session with Nat.”  I can’t explain what happens,  I just know it lands. So in today’s episode of The Mind School Podcast, I finally asked her the question everyone asks me: 👉 What even is a shaman… and how does any of this actually help real humans with real lives? If you’ve ever wondered things like: “Is energy work even real or just placebo?”“How do I know if it’s my intuition or anxiety talking?”“Why do I feel drained after certain people or places?”“How can I reconnect with something bigger… without joining a cult or buying 47 crystals?” — then this episode will blow your mind and ground you at the same time.Inside we talk about: What a modern shaman really does (without the fluff or fairy dust)How science and spirit actually work together — from nervous system to energyHow to strengthen your intuition without abandoning logicHow to protect your energy from all the noise without becoming paranoidWhy spirituality isn’t about escaping reality — it’s about facing it with more power, peace, and presenceThis convo is for the woman who’s secretly spiritual but allergic to the “woo-woo” label — and also for the ones who’ve been on the journey for years but crave something more grounded, real, and raw. It’s honest. It’s nuanced. It’s everything we love around here: head and heart, logic and magic. 🎧 Listen now:   With grit and high vibes,  B As always, please don't forget to hit Subscribe! xxx
