Reconditioned with Lauren Vaknine

Those of you who listen to this podcast a lot will recognise Raine Dunn. She’s been on the podcast twice before, as one of my closest friends and one of the few people in the world who acts as a true confidante and guide for me.   And both of us have recently undergone Explants, IE, removal of breast implants.   In this episode we discuss why we made this decision, what we (and many other women) e...

Why do we actually suffer from the traumas that we’ve experienced, long-term?    Believe it or not, it’s not the trauma itself that causes the suffering, but the way the body and brain hold the trauma.   In this episode I talk you through HOW and WHY to process and heal trauma, long-term.   If you are suffering from trauma, please make use of this list of trauma resources I’ve created for this rea...

If you’ve ever heard of Kim Anami, you do not need me to tell you what this episode is about!   If you haven’t, don’t waste your time reading this, just click play and allow your mind to be blown!   Kim is a sex and relationship expert, and what she doesn’t know about sex, isn’t worth knowing.   Her work has impacted my own relationship in profound ways, and I want you all to hear how you can not...

James Wedmore is my business coach, and someone I quote A LOT! His guidance, knowledge, spiritual ethos and downright complete integrity in everything he does, have inspired and motivated me more than I can ever describe - though I started this podcast before finding him, he was the reason I turned my passion into an actual business!   So of course I was SO excited to get the opportunity to speak...

100 episodes in, starting with me teaching myself how to use GarageBand and buying some basic equipment and bringing in a co-host, while I had a tiny baby and toddler (and no sleep!), to end up in the top 1% of all podcasts.   This podcast was once simply a vision to bring together all the information I’ve collated over the 2 decades I’ve spent searching for answers to what makes us whole - as par...

With everyone’s focus being on the recession and other financial difficulties, I wanted to take this opportunity, for the last episode before the 2023, to speak about what it really takes to manifest big.   Tune in, immerse yourself in the learning, take notes, and share the message, because the more of us who feel abundant, the more abundance we create.   Happy new year to you!   To really set yo...

I’m joined today by my good friend and psychological astrologer, Danielle Beinstein, where she offers us insights and guidance into what to expect for 2023.   We had such a rich conversation surrounding life in general, and make sure to stick around till the end, where we discuss the link between astrological shifts and how we manifest!   You can check out the previous episode I did with Dani a wh...

Mattias Desmet is recognised as the world’s leading expert on the theory of mass formation as it applies to the Covid-19 pandemic.   His new book, The Psychology of Totalitarianism offers us insight into how and why populations are so easily controlled, and how it somehow follows the same pattern with each new global or national challenge we face, from the witch hunts, to the Holocaust, to Covid a...

Trauma could potentially be the driving force behind many illnesses, and when we’ve experienced trauma, finding ways out of its grip is extremely challenging.   EMDR has changed all this, as one of the fastest and most effective ways to heal trauma.   In this episode I speak to EMDR expert - and therapist to celebrities such as Gabby Bernstein - Tammy Valicenti, all about EMDR: how it works, why i...

Stefan Chmelik is a Health visionary, stress response expert, lifelong meditator, founder of London Harley Street’s New Medicine Group and the inventor of the Sensate technology.    I have become so obsessed with the Sensate over the past few months, that I got in touch with them to partner with us for this season of Reconditioned and thankfully for us (and you!), they did!   The Sensate is a palm...

Joel Greene is THE authority when it comes to understanding the gut biome, fat loss and an immune-centric approach to health.   I have personally learnt the most life-changing information from Joel, which is why I was so excited to have him on the podcast.    I would go as far as to say that this conversation will perhaps be one of the most eye-opening you’ll ever hear in relation to health and fa...

When I speak about authenticity, I’m talking about how conditioning and trauma have shaped us out of the blueprint that was our authentic essence when we were born, into something completely different.   Most of the time, we don’t even realise that how we are acting - and thinking! - is incongruent with our true, core essence and was borne of nothing other than deep conditioning.   But until you f...

Ep. 90 - KRISTIN WEITZEL - Biohacking for Women   When we listen to biohackers talk about their findings, chances are, the research and “early adopters” of it, were men.    Kristin Weitzel is the world’s leading female biohacker, dedicated to making health optimisation accessible and RELEVANT for women.    Her depth of knowledge when it comes to health is astounding and In this episode we speak ab...

I speak a lot about “expanders”. In psychology, it is said that by having expanders - people who embody something we wish to become - it helps us to visualise ourselves becoming that ourselves.    For years, Kelly Brogan has been one of my biggest expanders.   Her journey from conventional psychiatry to holistic healing; her embodiment of the Divine Feminine; her unwavering knowing of who she is;...

I was absolutely stoked to record this podcast with New York Times bestselling author and biohacking legend, Ben Greenfield.   We met at the Health Optimisation Summit and got to spend time together walking around Regents Park while we recorded.   Because the biohacking world is so male-dominated, I was almost jumping up and down on my seat when Ben’s talk at the summit focused less on tracking an...

Whether you’re healing from trauma or health challenges or even a negative mindset and bad habits, you literally cannot heal them until you’ve done the work on your inner child, and in this episode I give you the tools you need to start that process.   My Inner Child Healing Meditation will help you with this process. You can listen to that HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxfWjguPSxs&lis...

I cannot tell you what a moment it was for me to interview Bruce Lipton, PhD. His book, The Biology of Belief, changed my life about 15 years ago when it taught me that the outcome of my health will be down to my beliefs, not my genes, and from there I started teaching myself how to believe myself out of illness.   In this episode we discuss: Why your genes are not your destiny How you can change...

Judgement. We all feel it, towards others, from others, towards ourselves. And yet most of us understand that it doesn’t make us feel good.    Soooo….   Why do we judge? What does judgement mean? How does it affect us spiritually?  How does it relate to shadow and ego? How can we move away from it and indeed, what can happen for us when we do?   In this episode I go deep into the subject of judgem...

I don’t often get nervous to interview guests, but having Charles Eisenstein on Reconditioned was a huge moment for me.   He is, in my opinion, one of the greatest minds of our time, and his work has not only influenced my work and inspired me to be better, it has also stirred the deep inner knowing inside me that we - humanity - are doing it wrong, but that there are solutions to do life better....

Fertility is a topic I’ve been wanting to speak about for a while.    I’m hugely passionate about getting to the bottom of health concerns and finding the missing pieces. I believe every health challenge has a cause, whether that be physical, emotional or spiritual - perhaps sometimes a culmination of all 3.   In this episode I talk you through my own turbulent fertility journey, before going into...
