METAMORPHOSIS

Have you ever picked a theme ‘word for the year’ around the new year time? Maybe something fun like ‘growth’ or ‘transformation’ - and then been dismayed to find that you can barely catch your breath between challenge after challenge?! This episode dives into why this happens, and how to navigate it with more playfulness and with a healthy sense of humour ;) Because we DO always get what we ask fo...

I was not expecting to get so emotional in this episode! But this is one that is very near to my heart, very real and very It’s an awful, lonely feeling to feel unsupported by Life. To feel separate, to feel isolated, to feel like we have to figure everything out on our own, to feel suspicious when too many things are going ‘right’, to feel personally attacked when things are going ‘wrong’. To hav...

This is a delightful conversation with Konrad, a good friend of mine that I met in my first few weeks in Hiriketiya at the start of 2023! We ended up getting to reconnect 3 seasons in a row in Hiri, and we had a surprising amount in common - both raised in strict Christian religions, both with an endless curiosity for philosophy and spirituality as a way to make sense of the world coming out of a...

It was truly a ‘dream life’! A gorgeous little surf town in southern Sri Lanka, sunny and warm almost the entire year round, living 15 seconds walk from one of the prettiest beaches I’ve ever seen, with a cafe serving delicious coffee looking straight out to the ocean, a community of lovely people and a daily routine that I had settled into like a well-worn glove. It was a life so lush that if you...

We head into our first Saturday morning class after a busy, intense first week! We’re all expecting a relaxed partner yoga class, so what could possibly make us all leave crying?! There are around 20 gorgeous women as part of the Ashtanga-Vinyasa YTT I joined in May (I did my training at Sampoorna in Agonda (Goa, India) and enjoyed it SO MUCH), and it was such a precious experience to spend a mont...

As adults, life sometimes gets very serious and heavy - we have so many responsibilities and ‘important things to do’. And somehow we forget that life can also be so fun and free and joyful! So how on earth do we add these things back to our lives again?! Nicky is one of my gorgeous friends from Hiriketiya, she’s a yoga teacher, rollerskating and surfing extraordinaire always with a sparkle in her...

“Why would I ever go slow when I can go fast?!” That has been my mantra for my entire life. I grew up as an insatiably curious child with a lot of energy, throughout my 20’s every spare minute that I wasn’t studying or working was jam packed to the brim with socialising, rock climbing, salsa dancing, running and travelling. I’m sure this probably sounds awfully familiar to a lot of you. And the bi...

Hello my love! I’ve had a ridiculous amount of resistance to recording this episode. There was so much excitement around changing the name of the podcast, and then I headed into my Ashtanga Vinyasa YTT in Goa and wanted to give my full attention to that, so I took a break from social media for a while and then it ended up feeling so good that it’s been surprisingly challenging to get back into it....

This was a BRILLIANT chat with the circadian rhythm queen Sophie @iamsophiekate about how syncing your daily habits with your body’s natural clock can completely transform your energy, mood, and vitality! We're two beach + sunshine obsessed gals that love spending lots of time outside, so we dive into practical tips for living in alignment with your circadian rhythm, boosting your natural ener...

This is SUCHHH a hot topic, whether you're the most woo-woo person out there or the most rational ISTJ, we all want to be able to have beautiful experiences in our life intentionally! We all want to be able to create beautiful experiences and connections, we all want to be able to enjoy miraculous places and friendships and passions and purpose! So how do we do it, beyond just saying a few aff...

You always love nutrition-related podcasts and this one was an utterly DELIGHTFUL and very inspiring conversation with the brilliant Miriam (@everybodybliss). She is a Functional Medicine Dietician absolutely bursting with passion for helping people create health on a cellular level - because if you want to be healthy and full of life, then your CELLS needs to be healthy and full of life! I know t...

When things come up in conversations often, whether with people in town here, with clients or my gorgeous online community, I always know that means I need to turn it into a podcast episode! And this topic is EXACTLY that. I discovered when I was 30 that I don't want children, after the end of the long relationship of my 20s and moving back to Melbourne straight into the pandemic. My life COMP...

The gorgeous Sarah from @consciousearlylearning interviewed me for her podcast The Conscious Early Learning Podcast, and we had the most delightful chat about living a life of vitality and energy when you're a multi-passionate mama! Sarah was a client of mine around a year ago, and a lot of the work we did together was centred around understanding that putting herself first (prioritising her f...

MY LOVES it is time for a spicy chat! The most POTENT portal to your next level?? That juicy next evolution of you, that is able to create exceptional things in her life, that is able to make incredible new connections, who can comfortably take big risks, who has an insane level of self-trust? The portal is this: EXACTLY the excuse/s that you're using not to do the things you know you should b...

This is a beautiful conversation with the delightful Samir, a friend I made in Hiriketiya last year who came back for a month in March. He has incredible devotion and dedication to his daily movement and meditation practices, and we wanted to explore how to create an 82-year old version of us that is still as full of vitality, energy, passion and function as the present-day version of us. And if c...

We're in a very interesting time at the moment astrologically (but no matter when you're listening to this, it is ALWAYS RELEVANT!). The reason that we aren't getting what we want in life is because of ONE THING: we haven't taken the time or effort to get CRYSTAL CLEAR on what it is that we actually want to create!!! There are always lots of reasons why this happens, it's obvio...

Come along with me on this stream of consciousness that I've been exploring so much lately - I am obsessed with thinking about the connection between the life force INSIDE of us and the life force of the entire universe outside of us. OF COURSE they're actually the same thing, the same energy, but as a mental experiment it can help us connect to them more to make the distinction between in...

This podcast episode was the gorgeous Shannon Rose interviewing me for the first guest episode on her Substack - THE ALTAR. We explore what it means to live with reverence for your body, how to deepen our devotion and commitment so that we can ACTUALLY implement the practices that allow us to experience the vitality that so many of us are craving! We also explore lots of easy ways to create tangib...

Sue is a gorgeous friend of mine who also lives in Hiriketiya - a fellow Pisces babe, Rocket yoga teacher and vegan baking extraordinaire! This was a beautiful chat about creating your "dream life" in a tropical paradise and navigating all of the mess and all of the magic that comes with living abroad - all the way from home renovations with giant monitor lizards falling through your cei...

Somehow the first thing we do when we feel 'stuck' or when we're looking for answers is to sit down and try and figure things out . And of course that normally feels overwhelming and stressful! We end up having the same conversations over and over in our mind, or with our friends, we make endless lists of pros and cons, we agonise over making the right or wrong decision... Want a much...

I had my first taste of this sense of reverence a year ago, the first time I started my Kalaripayattu training in Auroville. Before that moment, I'd had no real concept of reverence in my life in general, no real sense of awe, of great respect, of great devotion to the things in my daily life That first trip to Auroville planted the seed of my fascination with reverence, an obsession that has...

I spend a lot of time thinking about, talking about and brainstorming different ways of radically transforming life and optimising how beautiful our experience of our life can be - for myself, with my clients, with friends, with family, all the time! And one very interesting thing occurred to me the other day: all of the biggest, most unpredictably magical, wonderful changes in my life have always...

Camilla is a GORGEOUS friend I made in Hiriketiya in December, we met through mutual friends while jamming on the beach and we spent a lot of time together before she went back to Italy! We have an enormous shared passion for latin dance (bachata and salsa) that reignited my own dormant passion for dancing, and we spent a lot of time talking about health, wellness and the traditional 'hospital...

I had a fun moment leaving the kalari pits in Auroville where I said hi to a friend as he rode off on his really noisy dark green Royal Enfield motorbike and I thought to myself 'damn that would be so cool to have a noisy dark green motorbike like that'... Which set me off on a train of thought of pure curiosity about what that version of me would be like! What would Rae with a badass moto...

I recorded this episode off the back of the most delightful client call - this gorgeous girl has been completely reinventing her life and we've been uncovering and exploring what her true passions ACTUALLY are! Not what she feels obliged to do, not what her 9-5 is, not what everyone else is doing, but what actually lights her up more than anything else! Throughout this process we've discov...
