This week I am joined by the absolutely fabulous Olivia Farrelly for one of the most interesting guest episodes yet. Olivia is 6 years sober and like a lot of people, never had an alcohol dependency, just suffered with bad hangovers and losing days to the anxiety and shame that came from binge drinking. 6 years ago Olivia made the decision that enough was enough and that she needed to make a chang...

This week I have lessons from my reiki training course, lessons that I did not expect to learn and did not come from the course content but more my experience, about how to ground yourself and deal with feelings of overwhelm and that mental fog when you have a million things on your mind.  It often feels counter productive to be still or take time out, when you have a 'to do' list as lon...

We have all heard the phrase 'go with the flow', which can be a beautiful thing to do if we take as it embracing the ebb and flow of life and enjoying the ride,  but taken too literally, it can leave us floating through life never actually achieving the things we want or becoming the person we are capable of being. Setting intentions creates focus and ensures our expended energy and acti...

We all have situations in our lives that cause us anxiety and stress and yet we continue to perpetuate them. Whether we are in control or not, forcing situations and trying to create outcomes is never a nice feeling and it can do way more harm than we realise. Remember, the body keeps the score and that tense neck, headache or low level sense of anxiety in your tummy could all be as a result of si...

We have all heard the phrase 'It's About The Journey Not The Destination'. It's that common that we probably never really think about the depth of this quote or it's true meaning, which goes way deeper than just 'enjoying the ride'. In this episode, we talk all things neuroplasticity and when the process of achieving our goals is really the point and not the goal...

This week we start of with an incredible story of a super quick manifestation that exceeded my expectations and blew my min this week!  Then we chat about identity based habits and how to really achieve your goals you need to embody the identity of that type of person. I'm not talking about donning a disguise,  but understanding how the successful version of yourself would behave and act and...

This week we are talking all things self respect and self worth. You might be thinking what have they go to do with manifestation and building the life that you want? Well give it a listen and I will explain.  If you are someone who already feels and treats themselves like a queen then good for you, but you will likely still find value in the episode as no one gets it right in every area all of th...

This week I have such a great guest. I have followed Faye on socials for years and despite her living the other side of the world, we have a lot in common and I just knew her story would resonate with so many of you. Following a very wild decade of partying, Faye had a catalyst in the form of a family holiday that went horribly wrong and she decided then that things had to change and she decided t...

This week we are discussing values and no I don't mean 'loyalty, 'honesty' the social ideals that we should hold as a bare minimum, but the stuff that actually drives you. I'll take you through an exercise to identify your values and in turn, how to shape your goals around them or vice versa. There are meant to be 13 questions, but yet again I seem to have lost the ability...

It's finally here b*tches! Bye Felicia to Winter and hello lighter nights, warmer weather, all the BBQ's and fun times!  This used to be the start of the New Year before the patriarchy of the Roman Empire got involved and f*cked it all up.  Today we will talk through how the 1st of Jan came to be the start of the year and why it makes so much sense to start the year with all the rebirths...

This week we talk about 'trusting the process'. That feeling of wanting something or a certain outcome and having to surrender to the outcome. We have all been there and when you are in the middle of feeling completely caught up in the feeling of want and desperation so badly, it's hard to know how to practice patience and surrendering to what will be. My 5 step process will help yo...

This week I have been a Debbie Downer, so rather than try to be all toxic positivity about it, I have learned first hand how important it is to acknowledge, allow and process negative emotions and feelings that you would rather numb out from.  Rather than make out life is all rainbows and butterflies, I decided to share this learning and knowledge and let you in a little bit to the realities of my...

It may sound harsh but hear me out. So many times I have heard 'I wish I could...' or 'Maybe one day I will...'  and normally what follows is zero action and a lot of hoping and dreaming.  Well I have got news for you, no-one is going to do that thing for you, so if you want it, you are going to have to make it happen.  This week we talk about the concept of no-one coming to sa...

Do you wake up on a Monday morning unsure of what you are wearing, hunting for your keys and no idea what to do for dinner?  Are you constantly forgetting appointments or double booking yourself? Or do you have some sort of routine for prepping for your week but it isn't quite yet nailed? This week we all all things organisation and Sunday self-care. Having your week planned and prepped, is a...

In this episode we discuss knowing when it is time to let go of things, whether that be a job, home, relationship or any other situation in your life.  We cannot make room for new and exciting opportunities to come into our life when we are still hanging on to things that have run their course or no longer serve us.  It's not an easy thing to do but we will discuss why it is so important and...

Does your inner circle clap when you win? Or is it backhanded comments from a jealous place?  Do you have a diverse support network for each area of your life? With people who 'get' where you are going or have walked the path before?  If not, then this episode my friend is just for you!  They used to say that we are 'the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with', but wi...

**DISCLAIMER** This episode discusses sensitive topics of suicide, mental health and addiction. If you are experiencing any substance addiction or dependency, please consult a medical professional before stopping use.  This week's guest has such an interesting story, he went from fighting in cages to fighting for his life, as his mental health hit rock bottom and he found himself sectioned fo...

'Protect Your Energy' has become a bit of a cliché, but it's something that we all need to be aware of as it really does affect every are of our lives. I'm not just talking sageing and  spells (although that's also an option if it's your vibe), but understanding your triggers and what drains you and how to manage this so that it doesn't impact your life. I talk t...

It's the first episode of the year and apologies in advance for how excitable I get, I've had to change the tempo because I got a little carried away, but I've missed you all so much!  This week we talk lessons from Far Eastern culture, the Birkenstocks that changed my life and how if you are already feeling overwhelmed and not quite ready to take on the year, then you aren't a...

In the final episode of 2023, we talk about the importance of boredom and mental breaks for the brain and how social media and modern day life has made this more difficult than ever.  This is the perfect time of year to have some downtime in preparation for next year, Plus I tell a little personal story from our recent trip to Las Vegas that didn't end so well!  Thank you all for listening th...

This week we have part 2 of the goal setting series, where I talk through how to set yourself up for success and achieve those exciting goals that you planned in part 1. These are just some of my strategies that I've honed over the years and continue to evolve. If you haven't already listened to the two linked episodes below, then it might be good to go back and give them a listen, as th...

Do you make New Year's resolutions and have already given up on them by mid-January, resigning yourself to try again next year? Have you got a gym membership you have been paying for all year but only actually stepped foot in the gym twice? Do you promise every month that you will save money but always end up waiting for pay day, having waxed the lot on online shopping? If so, then this episo...

This week we have a super inspirational conversation with Farz Hakimifard, the Founder of Feedback Community Project CIC, a community project based on helping disadvantaged young people via the medium of music as a therapeutic tool. Farz talks to me about leaving his home country of Iran, at 5 years old, his adolescent and young adult years of dealing with trauma, self medicating via drugs and alc...

This week I talk through how I recently broke my sobriety and my experience.  Spoiler alert.... it wasn't great!  I will tell you what I learned and how my attitude and response has changed just by being mostly sober and how I think things will progress moving forward.  If you are thinking of going sober or cutting back on alcohol then this one is for you.  I am always so happy to hear from y...

It may be a cliche but it's so true, when one door closes another opens, or in other words 'rejection is redirection.'  This week's episode talks about how as humans we tend to self sabotage and spiral when we feel rejected. It's actually a primal instinct from tribe mentality as back in the day, rejection from the tribe would have meant likely death, so it's a protec...
