    We Are Not Learning – We Are Remembering with Saras Naidoo | Ep. 44

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Saras Naidoo, a wonderful and inspiring woman who brings love and joy into everything she speaks about.  She shares with us the journey she has been on for so long and how she has finally come home to herself and to the wisdom that has always been within.  Saras’s purpose is to be a guide for others and it is very clear in our conversation that she is doing this holistically in the community she has created and in the work she does with her clients.  What a joy it was to spend this time with her.   Bio: Saras Naidoo is a guide, author, and space-holder devoted to helping people return to presence, alignment, and inner clarity. After retiring from a fulfilling career as a high school educator, where she taught Horticulture and developed experiential learning programs, Saras followed a deeper calling into holistic and energy-based healing. She is the founder of the Quantum Healing Circle for Women, a global heart-centred community, and the creator of the Chai-Chat series, a collection of 90 soulful reflections that gently guide individuals back to themselves.  This work evolved into her book, Chai Chat: A 90-Day Journey into Alignment, Inner Radiance & Self-Care. Blending her experience as a Master Gardener, Reiki Master, hypnotherapist, and quantum healing practitioner, Saras brings a grounded yet intuitive approach to personal transformation.  Her work is rooted in simplicity, nature, and everyday rituals, reminding us that healing doesn’t have to be complicated.  Her work is also deeply shaped by her personal journey through cancer alongside her husband, which led her into profound inner healing and transformation.  Through her warm and calming presence, Saras creates spaces where people can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.  Use this link to purchase Chai-Chat: A 90-Day Journey into Alignment, Inner Radiance, and Self-Care. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0GSZMVVH6   Social Media: Website:                     www.sarasnaidoo.comFacebook:                   https://www.facebook.com/saras.naidoo.7/Instagram:                  https://www.instagram.com/sarasnaidoo51/LinkedIn:                     https://www.linkedin.com/in/saras-naidoo-7801b2151/Spices Website:         https://www.queeniespiceworks.com/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/quantumhealingcircleforwomen

    Viewing Life With A Strengths-Based Lens with Rosemary Gattuso | Ep. 42

    On this episode of The True North Show, I am joined by a very special returning guest Rosemary Gattuso.  Since we last spoke Rosemary’s world has changed significantly as she has become a carer for her parents.  This change has pivoted her writing in a very different direction, and her new book has flowed through her with such pace that she finished the first draft in 8 weeks.  Rosemary is in the last stages of having the book finalised and published and throughout our conversation she shares why it is so important to her right now.   Bio: Rosemary Gattuso is a trauma-informed family mediator, couples counsellor, and author of It’s Not You, It’s Me! A Chronic Overthinker’s Guide to Self-Reflection.  With over 15 years’ experience in family mediation and restorative justice, she supports families through separation with a respectful, child-focused approach.   She has advanced training in mediation from Harvard and serves on panels for the Defence Force Ombudsman, the National Redress Scheme, and the Territories Stolen Generations Scheme.   Rosemary blends neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and lived experience to show how overthinking can be reframed as a strength and a pathway to resilience.  She has delivered workshops for schools, businesses, and mental health settings, and has spoken on ABC Radio, podcasts, and to first responders and the US Defence Force.   Her book, It’s Not You, it’s Me! A Chronic Overthinker’s Guide to Self-Reflection, has been endorsed by Professor Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory) and Petrea King (Quest for Life Foundation).   Rosemary is currently preparing to release her second book, Tell Someone Who Cares, informed by her lived experience as a carer.  The book focuses on emotionally supporting carers through a strengths-based lens, helping them recognise both the challenges and the strengths within the caring experience.   Social Media: Website:         https://www.rosemarygattuso.com/ Instagram:      www.instagram.com/rosemarygattuso/ Facebook:       www.facebook.com/rosemarygattuso LinkedIn:          www.linkedin.com/in/rosemarygattuso/

    Words For Winning with Carolyn Wilman | Ep. 39

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Carolyn Wilman who has an incredible and fascinating story to share about how things aligned in her life and put her on the path she is on.  Carolyn came to prominence as The Contest Queen, teaching others how to find, organize, enter, and win sweepstakes, contests, and giveaways.  Her proven online entry system, outlined in How To Win Cash, Cars, Trips & More!, has helped others win millions in cash and prizes.  If you ever wondered about embracing a “winning strategy” then you will not want to miss this episode.   Bio: Before you can win, whether it’s a sweepstakes or in life, you must believe you are a winner. That’s why Carolyn Wilman, Founder of two other successful businesses dedicated to victory, has created Words for Winning, through which she republishes out-of-print books that help you manifest your best life. These mindset and metaphysical books include all of Helene Hadsell’s works, and soon to be released are all of Tag & Judith Powell’s books and audio series.  In fact, Carolyn has committed to publishing one book each month in 2026. Words for Winning speaks to the person who wants to expand their mind and heart, Carolyn explains, noting that contrary to popular belief, winning is not about besting someone else, it’s about actualizing yourself, winning should make us better people. Carolyn came to prominence as The Contest Queen, teaching others how to find, organize, enter, and win sweepstakes, contests, and giveaways.  Her proven online entry system, outlined in How To Win Cash, Cars, Trips & More!, has helped others win millions in cash and prizes.

    Feeding Your Soul, One Stem At A Time with Yvette Timmins | Ep. 38

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Yvette Timmins, an amazing woman who I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with over the last year.  Yvette shares with us the power of nature, and in particular, the energy that flowers have and how they can heal.  Even if you have a couple of roses sitting in a small vase by your bed or in your loungeroom can have a dramatic effect on the energy which flows into your soul.  Even the colours of the flowers can have different vibrations and effects and I absolutely LOVE the insights she gives us as to the power of a red rose.   Bio: For Yvette Timmins, flowers are more than just a profession they are a family legacy.   With a Grandmother, Great Aunt, and Great Grandmother who were all florists, it would be easy to say that creativity is in her blood.  However, Yvette believes that the art of floristry isn’t a special skill reserved for the chosen few; it is an innate ability available to anyone willing to silence their inner critic and connect with nature.   With over 30 years in the industry, Yvette has truly "done it all”.  She has climbed every rung of the ladder, moving from a Casual Assistant to Senior Florist, Shop Manager, and Shop Owner, eventually becoming a Floristry Teacher and the Principal of Bloom College, which she founded in 2013.  Her leadership extends to the national stage, where she served as a founding director and board member of Flower Industry Australia.   Beyond the business of blooms, Yvette is a champion for the mental health benefits of creativity, she has witnessed firsthand how working with nature decreases anxiety and nurtures the soul.  This passion led her to co-found the charity Floral Acts of Kindness and to write her recently published book, Feed Your Soul with Flowers.   Today, through her online membership and app, Yvette is dedicated to ensuring that geography and physical ability are no longer barriers to learning.  She is here to help you grow your business and feed your soul, one stem at a time.   Use this link to purchase the book – Feed Your Soul With Flowers https://study.bloomcollege.com.au/Feed-Your-Soul-Flowers-Book   Social Media: Website:         https://bloomcollege.com.au/ Facebook:       https://www.facebook.com/bloomcollege Instagram:      https://www.instagram.com/bloomcollege

    The Architect of Strategic Certainty with Steve Bambury | Ep. 37

    On this week’s episode of The True North Show I am joined by Steve Bambury.  We have an incredible conversation and explore Steve’s defining moment when he realised that happiness and purpose comes from within, not from external “things” or people and how that has stayed with him through his whole career and personal life.  Steve shares with me an exciting and new adventure that he is stepping into and how this move re-iterates all the work he does with his clients, he truly is a leader who walks the talk.   Bio: Steve Bambury is a Strategic Growth Catalyst and Associate Neuroplastician® who helps ambitious founders scale without chaos.  With over 40 years building, growing, and leading companies, he brings hard-won experience as a veteran CEO, technology pioneer, and sales leader.   Steve specialises in helping founders who have “hit the ceiling” move from being essential operators to true board-level leaders, turning their companies into assets that can thrive without them.   His methodology blends commercial rigour, strategic governance, and disciplined execution to replace guesswork with predictable revenue, robust advisory boards, and accountable implementation.   Steve’s background in neuroplasticity gives him a deep understanding of human behaviour, shifting sales and leadership from hope and luck to clarity and results.  Through structured frameworks, he enables businesses to professionalise operations, make better decisions, and build systems that consistently outperform their competitors.  Ultimately, Steve’s work is about freedom: ensuring the business serves the life of the founder, not the other way around.   He is currently selecting a limited number of companies to work with for the upcoming 2026 year.  If you are a business owner looking to scale without the chaos, now is a great time to connect.   Social Media: Website:       https://touchstoneadvisory.com.au/  LinkedIn:         https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-bambury/
