Heart Felt with Julie Margerison

I had the most beautiful conversation with Sue Williams in this episode, and I'm still sitting with how much she moved me. 🌿 Sue is a holistic relaxation therapist and wellness business owner behind Driftwood Relaxation and The Waterfall Effect, and she brings with her decades of caring for others — from children in family daycare to adults finding their way back to themselves on the table i...

In this solo episode, episode 54, I'm opening up about something that has been showing up for me all week - feeling supported, not from the outside, but from somewhere much deeper within. 🤍After waking in the early hours and giving in to a long journaling session (something I'm learning to honour rather than resist), I found myself reflecting on a lifetime of feeling unseen and noticing...

In this episode, I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Geri — a reinvention coach, facilitator, and thought leadership mentor who has lived one of the most honest, courageous, and deeply human stories I've heard. 💛 After building and leading a half-a-billion-dollar property law business, Geri walked away from a life that no longer felt like her own and began the real work — the inner w...

I'll be honest — I almost didn't record this one. I've had a cough for three weeks, my voice has been croaky, and there's been so much swirling around inside me that I wasn't sure I could find the words. But this morning I decided to just show up anyway — imperfect, a little rough around the edges, and real. 🌿 In this solo episode, I share what's been stirring deeply...

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Donagh, the creator of the Grit and Grace podcast, and I walked away feeling so deeply moved by her honesty and her heart. 🌿 Donagh has spent 34 years in the accounting industry, and yet what struck me most wasn't her professional expertise — it was the quiet, hard-won wisdom she carries from living a life that has asked so mu...

I can't quite believe I'm sitting here recording my 50th episode 🥹 and I just feel this deep wave of gratitude washing over me. A whole year of showing up, sharing stories, and holding space — and I am so, so grateful for everyone who has been part of this journey with me. A special thank you to my husband Russell, whose quiet, steady support has meant more than words can say 💛 In this...

I had the most beautiful honour of sitting across from Graeme in our very first in-person, same-room episode — and I have to say, I wasn't entirely prepared for how much this conversation would move me. 🌿 Graeme is someone I came to know in one of the most tender and sacred seasons of his life — the final weeks of his beloved wife Barb's time on this earth. I was blessed to walk alongsi...

For most of my life, taking things personally was something I was a queen of. 💭 I convinced myself that someone's mood, their silence, their reaction — was always somehow my fault. It was exhausting, and it kept me small. In this solo episode, I share some of the moments that taught me the difference between awareness and reaction. 🌸 From finding the courage to speak up about a heavy energy...

In this episode I had the most beautiful conversation with Reema, an identity rebirth coach and human design specialist calling in all the way from India, where she was soaking up the warmth of a New Year festival with her family. 🌸 From the very first moment, I felt that gorgeous feeling of goosebumps — the kind that tells me I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be. Reema's story is...

In this solo episode, I get really honest about what's been showing up for me lately. 💛 No guest, no script — just me, sitting with what is, and sharing it from the heart. 🤍 I've been caught in the loop of comparing myself to others 😔 — that quiet, heavy feeling of wondering why I'm not further along, why my life doesn't look like everyone else's. It came up strongly at...

Sometimes the best conversations are the ones you didn't plan. ✨ In this episode, I'm joined by my wonderful husband, Russell, for a beautifully spontaneous catch-up — and I have to say, it moved me to tears. We talk about the art of receiving 🌸, and how learning to open up to it has been one of the most quietly powerful shifts in both our lives. Russell shares his experience with a si...

What if the thing you've been searching for finds you at exactly the right moment? In this solo episode, I revisit a chapter from my revised edition of My Way to Happiness — It Gets Better and Better, written back in 2007 — a time when I was learning to meditate under a bamboo teepee in my backyard. It looked ridiculous. It felt sacred. And it changed everything.🤩 Fast forward to 2026, and I...

In this episode of Heart Felt, I sit down with Erin, a cattle grazier and carer from south-east Queensland, whose journey back to herself is one of the most quietly courageous I've ever witnessed. When Erin first reached out for support, she was running on empty — depleted, disconnected, and carrying far more than any one person should. What she found wasn't just relief; it was the begin...

Life has been throwing a lot at me lately — and in this solo episode, I get real about what it feels like when the heaviness of the outside world starts to creep in. From navigating the noise of rising costs and a fear-filled news cycle, to a candid conversation about hot cross buns with Russell that turned into something much deeper — this episode is a gentle reminder that the way we make even th...

In this episode, I sit down with Cyndi O’Meara — a leading nutritionist, best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and founder of Changing Habits — for a conversation that feels as nourishing as the food philosophy she’s championed for over 45 years. Cyndi shares the unexpected moment at just 19 years old that shaped the entire course of her life, and why I keep coming back to the truth that ancestral wi...

In this solo episode, I open up about the deeply personal journey of revisiting and rewriting my book, My Way to Happiness — now titled My Way to Happiness, It Gets Better and Better . I first wrote this book back in 2007, and at the time, I truly believed I was living its wisdom. But over the years, I slowly lost my way — trying to fit into the expectations of marriage and society, rather than ho...

In this beautiful episode, I sit down with Pauletta, a woman I met just the week before at the Maitland Market — where she braided my hair for the very first time (something I had wanted to experience for 50 years!). Pauletta shares her remarkable journey from Liberia, West Africa, through a refugee camp in Guinea, and eventually to building a new life in Adelaide, Australia in 2010. She opens up...

Whilst revising My Way to Happiness, I discovered something I'd forgotten I'd written 18 years ago—the story of a headache that disappeared the moment I spoke my truth. I was waiting for Shauna at her piano lesson, ringing my mum just to fill the time. But as I started really talking—deep, honest sharing—the pounding headache simply vanished. 'Mum, my headache just disappeared,&apos...

🎙️ Episode 36 Solo: Living My Wonderful Desires Twenty years ago, standing beside rubbish bins at Queensland Transport, I heard a voice tell me I had to share my story about how I found happiness.
