What happens when your mind says, “I’m fine,” but your body is telling a completely different story?

In this episode, Grace explores why alignment cannot be performed or created through positive thinking alone. She reflects on the difference between intuition and performance, the hidden exhaustion of pretending to be okay, and the body’s subtle signals when something doesn’t feel right.

You’ll also be guided through a short practice to pause, listen within and ask: “What is true for me in this moment?”

Because alignment isn’t about appearing confident, calm or positive. It begins with the courage to be honest with yourself.

Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling completely drained, or spent time with someone and somehow felt lighter afterwards?

Our energy is constantly being influenced, often without us even realising it.

In this episode of A State of Grace Wellbeing, Grace explores the people, places, conversations, environments and everyday inputs that can subtly affect how we feel and how we show up in the world.

From the people we surround ourselves with and the endless stream of information on our phones, to the spaces we inhabit and even the voice inside our own heads, there is a lot competing for our energetic attention.

Grace also introduces a simple Vibration Audit, inviting you to notice four areas of your life: People, Places, Input and Inner Voice.

This isn’t about keeping your vibration “high” all the time. Life simply doesn’t work that way.

It’s about recognising what pulls you out of alignment, discovering what helps you return, and becoming more intentional about what you’re tuning yourself to.

Who and what are you allowing to influence your vibration?

Have you ever wondered why one area of your life feels effortless while another seems to keep you stuck?

In this episode, Grace introduces the seven energy centres, often known as chakras, and explores how each one influences a different aspect of your wellbeing, from feeling safe and grounded to speaking your truth, trusting your intuition and living with purpose.

Rather than seeing these centres as something mystical, Grace shares a gentle and practical perspective, inviting you to become curious about what your own energy may be trying to tell you. Because awareness is the first step towards alignment.

This episode is the perfect introduction to understanding your vibration and the energetic patterns that quietly shape the way you think, feel and move through life.

Take a deep breath, tune in, and discover which energy centre is asking for your attention today.

What if success isn’t just about what you do, but about the energy you bring to what you do?

In this episode of A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast, Grace explores what it really means to align your vibration for success, whether you’re building a business, stepping into a new chapter of life, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again.

We explore the connection between energy, self-belief, confidence and the way we show up in the world. Grace also delves into the chakra system as a powerful framework for understanding where our energy may be flowing freely and where it might feel stuck.

This isn’t about forcing positivity or pretending everything is wonderful. It’s about becoming more aware of your inner world, noticing what energises you, recognising what drains you, and learning to listen to the subtle messages your body and intuition are sending you.

Because sometimes the next step isn’t to work harder.

Sometimes it’s to pause, listen and come home to yourself.

✨ In this episode, you’ll explore:

• What it means to be energetically aligned
• How your vibration can influence the way you approach success
• Why self-doubt, fear and overwhelm can hold us back
• How the seven chakras can offer insight into what’s happening in your life
• The connection between energy, confidence and being seen
• A simple practice to check in with your own vibration
• Why success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your wellbeing

And perhaps the most important question of all:

What would change in your life if you trusted your own energy?

Take a breath. Tune in. And let’s explore what it means to create success from the inside out.

🌿 A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast with Grace Giuliano

A recent visit to the Emergency Department with unexpected chest pain became a powerful reminder that our health is something we can never take for granted.

In this heartfelt episode, I reflect on what the experience taught me about listening to our bodies, accepting support from those who care about us, and navigating the changing seasons of life as women. I also share my gratitude for the incredible care I received at Katoomba Hospital and the comfort that comes from knowing we’re not alone when life takes an unexpected turn.

This isn’t an episode about fear. It’s about awareness, connection, and learning to honour ourselves before our bodies have to shout for our attention.

If you’ve ever ignored your own needs while caring for everyone else, I hope this conversation encourages you to pause, check in with yourself, and remember that your wellbeing matters too.

✨ Because sometimes the greatest act of self-care is simply listening.

This week on A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast, I’m sharing something deeply personal.

After a week of poor sleep, a migraine, and feeling unusually low in energy, I was reminded that I live with Persistent Depressive Disorder, a condition that is usually well managed but occasionally whispers for my attention. It’s easy to forget that even when we know all the wellbeing practices, we’re still human.

In this episode, I reflect on what it means to listen to our bodies before they have to shout. We explore the wisdom of slowing down, embracing winter as a season of rest, the importance of nourishing ourselves with warm foods, and why even a few moments of sunshine can support both our physical and emotional wellbeing.

If you’ve been feeling tired, flat, overwhelmed, or wondering why you’re not quite yourself, I hope this conversation reminds you to replace self-judgement with self-compassion.

Sometimes healing isn’t about doing more.

Sometimes it’s about listening.

Please note: In this episode, I share my personal experience of living with Persistent Depressive Disorder. My story is not intended as medical advice. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please reach out to your GP or a qualified mental health professional for support.

Thank you for joining me on this journey towards living with greater mindfulness, compassion, and grace.

You finally have the time you’ve been waiting for.

Retirement has arrived, the children have grown, your schedule has eased… so why do you still feel exhausted?

In this episode of A State of Grace Wellbeing Podcast, Grace shares a heartfelt story inspired by a conversation with a friend over coffee that led to a powerful realisation: for many women, life may have slowed down, but the nervous system is still living as though it needs to keep going.

Together, we’ll explore why so many women find it difficult to truly relax after years of caring for others, working tirelessly, and putting their own needs last.

You’ll discover how your nervous system learns patterns of busyness and survival, why rest is about more than simply having free time, and how gentle moments of mindfulness can help your body feel safe enough to finally let go.

This episode is a compassionate invitation to stop believing you have to earn your rest and to begin creating space for yourself with kindness, curiosity and grace.

If you’ve ever wondered why slowing down feels so hard, this conversation is for you.

Take a deep breath, settle in, and let’s begin the journey of teaching your body that the rush is over and it’s safe to come home to yourself.

✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please follow the podcast and share it with a friend who might need this reminder today. 🌿

If you’ve ever felt like you’re still searching, still growing, or simply needing a reminder that you’re exactly where you need to be, this episode is for you.

Grab a cup of tea, find a quiet moment, and join me for this heartfelt reflection on thirty lessons gathered along the path.

Have you ever spent time with a dear friend and come away feeling lighter, happier, and somehow more yourself?

In this episode, Grace reflects on a beautiful day shared with a close friend and explores the quiet yet powerful gift of women’s friendships. From coffee and conversation to shared experiences and simple moments of joy, Grace was reminded that some of life’s greatest treasures aren’t found in grand achievements, but in meaningful connection.

This episode explores:

✨ Why friendship is an essential part of women’s wellbeing
✨ How healthy relationships support and regulate our nervous system
✨ The surprising ways joy can be found in ordinary moments
✨ Why connection is not a luxury, but a form of nourishment
✨ How to gently reconnect if loneliness or busy seasons have created distance

As women, we so often spend our lives caring for others, holding everything together, and putting our own needs last. Yet we were never meant to walk this journey alone.

Perhaps joy isn’t something we have to chase.

Perhaps it’s found in a warm conversation, a shared laugh, a walk under winter lights, and the beautiful souls who walk beside us.

Because women need women, and friendship is medicine.

Why Receiving Feels So Hard: Healing the Overgiving Nervous System

Have you ever noticed that giving comes naturally, but receiving feels uncomfortable?

Many women have spent years caring for others, carrying responsibilities, and putting everyone else’s needs before their own. Over time, overgiving can become more than a habit. It can become a nervous system pattern.

In this heartfelt episode, Grace explores why receiving support, rest, love, kindness, compliments, abundance, and even simple moments of peace can feel surprisingly difficult. We’ll dive into how the nervous system learns survival strategies, why guilt often accompanies rest, and how chronic over-functioning can keep us disconnected from the nourishment we deeply need.

Together, we’ll gently uncover:

🌿 Why receiving is connected to nervous system safety
🌿 The hidden link between overgiving and exhaustion
🌿 How childhood experiences and societal expectations shape our ability to receive
🌿 Why rest can feel uncomfortable even when we desperately need it
🌿 Simple ways to teach your nervous system that it is safe to be supported
🌿 How mindfulness can help you soften, regulate, and reconnect with yourself

If you’ve ever struggled to ask for help, found yourself feeling guilty for resting, or wondered why it’s easier to care for everyone else than to care for yourself, this episode is for you.

Perhaps the healing isn’t found in giving more.

Perhaps it’s found in allowing yourself to receive.

Take a breath, settle in, and join me for this gentle exploration of what it means to be supported, nourished, and held by life once again.
