In this episode, Belinda sits down with Trevor Hendy, six-time Australian Ironman Champion, four-time World Champion, and Australian Sporting Hall of Fame inductee. Trevor isn’t just a champion - he’s an icon. But as he reveals, his greatest lessons came not only from winning, but from discovering flow, connection, and meaning beyond competition.

Trevor shares the deeply personal story of losing his father and the profound sense of guidance he now feels. He reflects on how a supportive family and the surf lifesaving community shaped his values, and how an “effortless effort” mindset propelled him into the flow state - both in sport and in life. With honesty, he opens up about the ego traps of chasing external validation, and how he shifted from winning at all costs to winning on all levels.

We cover:

• The strong connection he shared with his father, and the moment he doubted himself as a man when his son was born, and how it became a profound awakening.
• Life lessons from surf lifesaving and finding courage through community.
• The power of flow state and “effortless effort” that set him apart from the pack and kept him calm and consistent under pressure.
• Reframing challenges through his belief that “the conditions are always perfect.”
• Identity, ego, and the shift from chasing wins to finding true connection.
• His life as an elite sportsman, son, father, husband, grandfather, coach, and mentor.
• What lights him up today, how adventure brings him joy, and what life looks like beyond the glory days.

This conversation goes far deeper than medals and competition. Whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or simply navigating your own waves, Trevor’s wisdom will leave you reflecting on what it truly means to live in flow.

Belinda sits down with AJ Williams, a man who has transformed a turbulent past into an extraordinary life.

AJ shares with raw honesty how living in public housing, surviving domestic violence, growing up with alcoholic parents, and being abandoned shaped him, and how he consciously chose to break generational cycles. From professional sport to founding Revel Saunas & Ice Baths, AJ reveals the lessons no business book could teach: resilience, alignment, and prioritizing health over wealth. He also shares how his three daughters have softened him and why he focuses on building memories rather than chasing money.

We explore:

•              Surviving a challenging childhood and choosing a different path

•              Transforming personal pain into purpose 

•              How he built an 8-figure business in just 3.5 months without any stock

•              The role of timing, purpose, and alignment in true success

•              Parenting philosophies: why time and presence matter more than screens

•              Why health and wellbeing always outweigh wealth

•              Not needing to prove your worth because you know who you are

This isn’t just a story of success, it’s a story of survival, courage, and rewriting your life’s narrative, no matter where you start.

In this deeply personal and powerful conversation, Belinda sits down with Davey Lloyd, who you might recognize from The Bachelor and Bachelor in Paradise. But today’s episode, we’re talking about much more than reality TV.

For nearly two decades, drugs, drinking, and the “tradie party boy” lifestyle became his mask — the confidence to be the fun one, the life of the party — all while unconsciously carrying pain underneath it all.

Davey opens up about his third cocaine-related seizure that left him clinically dead before paramedics brought him back to life. This is not a polished comeback story. It’s a real, vulnerable, and courageous look at what it takes to take accountability, get honest with yourself, and do what it takes to get sober.

Inside this episode:

• Early Childhood & Trauma — how the death of his older brother and emotional detachment at home left him feeling like he didn’t belong, and how that followed him into adulthood
• Rehab & Rebuilding Trust — why owning his truth and coming clean to his parents was the hardest and most healing step
• Being diagnosed with ADHD when he was 12 and how the medication affected him
• The toxic pressures of the tradie party culture
• The truth behind dating reality shows — do people really go on to meet someone or just for fame?
• His cocaine use, seizures, and the moment it was time to check into rehab
• How sobriety has brought purpose, peace, and clarity but also new struggles — especially connecting with women without anything to hide behind
• The message he wants to give anyone feeling lost, stuck, or struggling with addiction

If you’ve ever battled addiction, loved someone who has, or just needed proof that it’s never too late to change, this episode will stay with you long after you listen.

Now almost two years sober, Davey shares: “Sobriety gave me peace. My life has gone from chaos to clarity.”

In this episode, Belinda sits down with Skye Swift, a pharmacist, pharmacy owner, and subconscious transformation facilitator who helps high-performing individuals overcome internal stress and subconscious blocks to live with more alignment, vitality, and purpose.

Skye shares the pivotal moment she realised something was missing – standing in her pharmacy, noticing that her customers’ chronic conditions weren’t truly healing, and knowing there had to be more than medicine alone. This became the turning point that led her from traditional healthcare into deeper subconscious transformation work.

Together, Belinda and Skye explore why so many successful people still feel unfulfilled, how subconscious beliefs quietly shape our lives, and what it truly means to create lasting, meaningful success.

Inside this episode:

• The moment Skye realised medicine wasn’t enough for true healing
• Her transition from pharmacist to subconscious transformation facilitator
• Why chasing achievements can still leave you feeling flat or disconnected
• The hidden subconscious blocks that keep high-achievers stuck
• The truth about burnout and why “doing more” isn’t the answer
• What alignment really looks and feels like
• Small but powerful steps to start rewriting your own success story

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to keep proving, pushing, or performing to be worthy. Real success isn’t about ticking boxes – it’s about tuning in, letting go of what no longer fits, and doing the deeper work to come home to yourself.

In this episode of Beyond the Surface, Belinda sits down with Sophie Kovic, the founder of Seed & Sprout – one of Australia’s largest and most loved sustainability brands. What started as a search for a plastic-free lunchbox for her son turned into a thriving eco-conscious business, and a movement that’s inspired thousands of households to live more sustainably.

Sophie’s story isn’t just about building a successful business – it’s about doing it differently. Choosing values over vanity metrics. Creating products that solve real problems. Redefining success, not as “more, bigger, flashier,” but as living simply, consciously, and true to what really matters.

Belinda and Sophie also dive into what it takes to stay grounded in a world that constantly tells us to want more, do more, and be more. and why sometimes the real success is having less, but having it feel deeply aligned.

Inside this episode:

• The simple problem that sparked the idea for Seed & Sprout
• Building a business that aligns with your values
• Lessons Sophie learned self-teaching her way through entrepreneurship
• Creating an off-grid tiny home with a natural pool and permaculture lifestyle on community land for a slower, more intentional life
• How to start small with sustainable living (hint: ditch the cling wrap)
• Why experiences make Sophie feel rich, not material things
• Redefining success to mean freedom and alignment, not fame or wealth

Whether you’re building a business, dreaming of a slower and simpler lifestyle, or just rethinking what it really means to “have it all,” this episode is packed with inspiration and practical wisdom for creating a life that feels good on the inside, not just what looks impressive on the outside.

We’ve normalised calling everything toxic, especially when it comes to masculine and feminine energy. But what if, in many cases, what we’re labelling as toxic… is actually just wounded?

In this solo episode, Belinda unpacks the real difference between toxic behaviour and wounded energy, and how those patterns play out in our relationships, parenting, leadership, and everyday life.

We all carry both masculine and feminine energy within us, and yes, we all carry wounded versions of them too. That doesn’t make us bad or broken. It makes us human.

This episode is a reminder that while some behaviours are harmful and need clear boundaries, not everything that hurts is abuse. And not everyone who triggers you is toxic. Sometimes… it’s just pain protecting itself.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What wounded masculine and feminine energy actually looks like, and how it shows up in everyday life
• The difference between emotional protection and toxic manipulation
• Why we all carry both masculine and feminine energy, no matter our gender
• Why not all triggering behaviour is toxic
• How to shift from wounded to healthy energy
• How childhood and nervous system patterns shape adult reactions
• Ways to respond, not react, and let your healthy energy lead

This conversation isn’t about labels, it’s about awareness.

Because when we understand what’s underneath the behaviour, in ourselves and in others, we don’t just gain clarity. We create real change.

This isn’t about excusing harmful behaviour.

It’s about knowing the difference between toxic… and wounded.

Content warning: This episode contains discussions about addiction, mental health struggles, and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out to a mental health professional or support line in your area. In Australia, you can contact Lifeline at 13 11 14.

In this raw and soul-stirring episode, Belinda sits down with Corey Vogt now known as Soul 33 as he shares his transformation from over a decade of addiction, mental health struggles, and suicide attempts to becoming a grounded, heart-led guide for others.

Soul opens up about his addiction and how it began, the near-death experiences that cracked him open, and the role of plant medicine, forgiveness, and accountability in his healing.

This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt lost, for men who’ve been told to “toughen up,” and for the women loving them through the pain. If you’ve ever wondered if healing is truly possible this is the episode you need to hear.

Key topics covered:

• The pain beneath addiction: “Don’t ask why the addiction, ask why the pain.”
• The story his third-grade teacher had him believe and how he carried it for decades.
• Trying his first drug at 14 and how quickly things spiralled.
• The illusion of confidence drugs offered and what he lost chasing it.
• The healing power of plant medicine in helping him remember who he truly is.
• Shifting from being an addict to a heart-led, purpose-driven man.
• The meaning behind “Soul 33” and his life path number.
• The truth about real healing and why you can’t bypass the hard stuff.
• How real change only happens when a man takes full accountability and chooses it for himself, not because a woman loves him or wants him to.

A powerful story of being addicted, numb, and done, and then choosing something different for yourself and your life.

Podcast: Planting Seeds with Soul

In this inspiring episode, Belinda sits down with Sandy Forster, a single mum who went from $100K in debt and living on welfare, to building a multimillion-dollar business.

Sandy’s story is one of personal transformation, not through luck or privilege, but through inner work, energetic alignment, and a deep passion and understanding of The Law of Attraction. She rewired her thinking, embodied the work, and built a global brand that has helped hundreds of thousands of women manifest their dream lives.

Sandy was also a key mentor in Belinda’s journey, through her world-renowned Inspired Spirit Coaching Academy, which Belinda joined back in 2013 (see link below).

This conversation is a powerful reminder that your past doesn’t define your future and you don’t need a degree, savings, or a perfect plan to begin. You just need the willingness to believe, align, and take inspired action.

Together, they explore:

• The emotional and financial rock bottom that became Sandy’s turning point
• How the Law of Attraction, neuroscience, and daily spiritual rituals reshaped her reality
• The difference between knowing the tools and embodying the work
• How affirmations, visualisation, and consistent action create real-world results
• How to shift from scarcity to abundance
• How your brain, especially your Reticular Activating System (RAS), filters your reality based on what you focus on
• Why success isn’t about degrees or background, but about energy, belief, and intentional manifestation

Sandy’s journey is a potent example of what’s possible when you stop waiting and start aligning with the life you truly desire.

Some wounds are invisible, but their effects aren’t.

Maybe being around your mother brings comfort… or maybe it brings anxiety. Maybe she was there, but not really there. Maybe you’ve spent your adult life trying to get from others what she couldn’t give you.

In today’s honest and deeply compassionate solo episode, Belinda opens up a conversation many have been quietly longing for: The Mother Wound, the emotional pain caused by unmet needs in childhood from the one person who was supposed to nurture, protect, and guide you.

This episode is an invitation to explore the unspoken grief of what you didn’t receive, how it still shapes your life today, and the healing that begins when you finally give yourself permission to feel, name, and release what’s been buried for too long.

Whether you had a difficult relationship with your mother, a confusing one, or one you’re still trying to make sense of, this conversation offers perspective, validation, and practical steps to support your healing.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• What the mother wound really is and why so many people carry it silently
• The three pillars of mothering: nurturing, protection, and guidance and what happens when they’re missing
• How unmet childhood needs can show up as adult struggles with self-worth, relationships, boundaries, and emotional regulation
• The connection between attachment wounds and nervous system patterns
• How this wound can affect your own parenting (or decision not to parent)
• Why naming what you didn’t receive is not blame — it’s the beginning of healing
• How to grieve the mother you needed but never had
• Tangible steps to begin reparenting yourself and breaking the cycle
• Powerful journal prompts and nervous system tools to support your process

This episode won’t change the past, but it might change the way you carry it.
