Our consumption of sugar is harming us. There's mounting evidence that sugar damages our teeth, gut lining, liver, pancreas, kidney, heart and state of mind. Yet it continues to be a major sweetener in our lives. It's hidden in a lot of our food, and is socially acceptable and embraced in our celebrations, culture and community. So what would life be like without sugar in it? Is it possibl...

For most women, the changes and the impact of our hormones as we move through midlife is a shock - the sneaky surprises that pop up as a result of inadequate information, education and support. We experience 'symptoms' yet we have little insight into why our body is doing what it's doing and how we can support it and feel empowered. In this episode, Nicole Coutts, a naturopath and mind...

Our bodies get a LOT of attention! And it's not all positive. They are harshly judged by our culture, community and our inner critic! As we move through life, our body changes. We're taught to resist, distrust, manipulate, control and fight our body. In this episode, I've invited Liz Reichard, a Body Image expert, and teacher of the embodied dance practice, Qoya, to share her views on...

For many women in their midlife, any attention given to sex and pleasure is for someone else's benefit.

My guest, Mangala Holland, is on a mission to help women and pussy-owners become empowered...

When we think of TURNED ON, our mind automatically thinks of sexual turn on. That's only one part of what this podcast is all about. TURNED ON is what you feel like when your mind, body and soul are aligned with your values. When you feel energised, alive and free to express yourself. When the light inside of you is switched on. In this episode I share why living a TURNED ON life is important,...

It keeps us alive. When we struggle with it, it's stressful and all consuming. Yet, for many of us, it's unconscious and barely a consideration in our health and wellbeing.   In this episode, I explore this lost art and the value in prioritising our breath and breathing with Emma Abbott, a dear friend, Vedic Meditation teacher and founder of Metta with Emma.   Emma guides us through some...

The institution of marriage is not an easy one to leave. For so long it was forbidden, and then, when religion and the law allowed divorce, the possibility of a positive ending for all parties was barely a consideration. It’s one of the reasons we don’t talk about relationships breaking down, ending, or finishing in divorce! The shame, pain, and cost associated with a ‘failed’ relationship, has, a...

In our culture, it's 'normal' for adults to socialise and celebrate with alcohol. In fact, if you don't, you must be pregnant, taking antibiotics, have a work presentation the next day, or be an absolute party pooper.  Unhealthy drinking habits are rarely discussed, hangovers are put up with, and awful aspects like aggression, blacking out or embarrassing behaviour are glossed over.  A g...

Kids love celebrating their age but once we become adults and enter mid age, people start to avoid sharing their age. They do all they can to reverse it and hide it.  In fact, for a long time, if women didn't hide their age, they would be hidden. Reversing the aging process was a matter surviving and being noticed by our society. In this podcast I chat with Jacqueline (Jack) Perez, founder of...

We're surrounded by established systems with inherent biases, dogma and unequal values that limit our thinking and stifle our happiness and freedom. Without an awareness of their existence, we're oblivious to their power and helpless to do anything about them. In this episode, I talk with my beautiful friend, Anna George, author of the novel, 'Tipping', about how her story set around a school sext...

In our culture, giving birth is perceived as frightening, painful and something to endure. Women are not taught to trust their bodies but instead are encouraged to hand over their health and wellbeing (and that of their baby) to the medical system. Intervention is common and information is not being given to women to allow them to make informed and empowered decisions about what is best for their...

For many, the idea that there are other dimensions and spirits is crazy and inconceivable. It's reserved for fiction, fairytales and fantasy. Too woo-woo for the real world.   In this conversation with Alicia Dumais Temmerman, a dear friend, lawyer, Mum of 4 and spirit channeller, we explore a new awareness and acceptance that there is another way to view the world. Alicia generously shares h...

For a society that's multicultural, we rarely talk about race, colonialisation, and the impact of our skin colour.  It's so complex, challenging and overwhelming to know where to begin so instead we avoid conversations and pretend everything is ok.  I'm discovering that by focusing on our own discomfort, acting helpless or asserting that we're not doing anything wrong, we miss the opport...
