In this episode, Belinda sits down with the radiant and heart-led Seriya Cutbush, co-founder of Sound Healing Australia.

Seriya shares her unique journey from growing up with a Yogi as mum and living between Byron Bay and ashrams in India, to navigating grief, a near-death experience, to stepping into motherhood and building a life rooted in sound, frequency, spirituality, and presence.

You’ll hear about:

• Motherhood & Healing – how becoming a mother reshaped her spiritual practice and deepened the way she shows up in the world.
• The Power of Sound – why sound is her soul language and how it supports true healing on every level.
• Beyond Spiritual Bypassing – the importance of fully feeling and processing emotions instead of skipping straight to “the bigger picture.”
• Life’s Greatest Teachers – the lessons that human experiences have offered her along the way.

Seriya reminds us that “Healing is non-linear. Even in the stillness, transformation is happening.”

Ever snapped at someone and thought, “Why did I do that?” Found yourself overworking to the point of exhaustion? Gone numb or disconnected when life felt too much? Or saying yes when you really wanted to say no, just to keep the peace? These are all signs your nervous system has slipped into survival mode.

In this episode, Belinda breaks down the four stress responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, in a way that’s simple, relatable, and easy to recognise in your own life. You’ll learn why your body reacts this way, how these patterns were wired in the first place, and most importantly, how to guide yourself back to balance.

This conversation is full of practical tools and daily practices you can start using straight away so you feel more grounded, present, and connected.

You’ll hear about:

• Why your nervous system’s number one job is safety not your goals or to-do list
• How to spot the signs of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn (and find your own “default”)
• The role early experiences play in wiring these patterns
• What to do in the moment to regulate and return to balance
• Simple daily practices to build nervous system flexibility so you don’t stay stuck

This episode will help you meet yourself with compassion, understand your stress responses, and take back your power to respond instead of just react.

What if birth wasn’t just something that happened to you, but a ceremony, a rite of passage, and a deeply empowering experience?

Belinda is joined by Meaghan Amor , doula, educator, ceremonial healer, and founder of A Place Called Birth. With over three decades of experience, Meaghan has supported women and their partners through birth, postpartum, and beyond.

You’ll hear about:

• What a doula really does and how it differs from a midwife.
• Why birth is not just medical, but a ceremonial rite of passage.
• How pleasure and empowerment can be part of the birthing experience (yes, even orgasmic birth).
• The role of partners in the birth space and how they can truly support.
• Postpartum wisdom from healing rituals to dealing with intimacy, guilt, and the realities of motherhood.
• Why menopause is another form of rebirth and an opportunity to reclaim your power.

This conversation will inspire you to trust your body, your intuition, and the natural wisdom of birth.

In this solo episode Belinda dives into something we all experience - triggers.

You know those moments when someone says or does something and suddenly you’re in a full-body reaction? Maybe you shut down. Maybe you lash out. Maybe you spiral inside yourself. We often think the person or the situation is the problem,  but really, they’re just pressing on something that’s already inside us.

In this episode, Belinda reframes triggers as activators,  messengers and invitations showing us what still needs to be seen, heard, or healed. Instead of spiralling, she shares how to pause, regulate your nervous system, and reflect on the younger parts of you that might still be asking for compassion.

You’ll hear about:

• Why triggers are really activators and how they reveal what’s already inside you.
• Everyday examples that show how old wounds get stirred up in the present.
• A simple metaphor (the orange juice squeeze) that will completely shift how you see your reactions.
• Practical tools to pause, regulate, and respond with choice instead of reactivity.
• Journal prompts to move from blame and shame into self-awareness and compassion.

Being activated doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re human. And each activation is an invitation to grow, to heal, and to choose how you want to show up.

In this solo episode Belinda dives into a weight we all carry - judgement.

Here’s the truth: you’ll be judged if you do, and you’ll be judged if you don’t. And yet, judgement is one of the biggest things that keeps us small. It silences us, makes us second-guess ourselves, and holds us back from showing up fully.

Belinda unpacks why judgement is often more about the person giving it than the one receiving it, how old wounds can make criticism sting more deeply, and the power of shifting from taking it personally to reclaiming your worth.

You’ll hear about:

• Why judgement is projection (and not always about you).
• How belief systems and nervous system states filter what people see.
• Simple tools to pause, breathe, and take back your power when judgement lands.
• The “Let Them” theory and how to choose your peace over their opinions.
• Why our judgements of others often reflect the ones we carry within ourselves.

If you’ve ever shrunk yourself out of fear of what people might say, this episode will help you step forward anyway,  anchor into your worth, and live more freely.

After nearly two decades on the rugby league field, Kieran Foran has announced his retirement. With over 300 NRL games, a premiership, and a legacy as captain of the New Zealand national team, Kieran is stepping off the field and into a new chapter of life.

In this candid and powerful conversation, Belinda goes beyond the athlete and meets the man behind the jersey. Kieran opens up about his childhood dream to play for the Kiwis, the relentless work ethic that carried him through 17 seasons, and the darker battles he faced away from the spotlight. From gambling and drinking to depression and a suicide attempt, he shares how hitting rock bottom ultimately led him to rebuild his life.

We also explore:

• The work ethic and evolution that sustained a 17-year career in the NRL.
• The toll of injuries and isolation, and how they can strip away an athlete’s identity.
• Why vulnerability is strength and the importance of men ‘wearing their heart on their sleeves’ and speaking up.
• The reality of life after football and Kieran’s excitement to discover who he is beyond the field.
• His message of hope to anyone battling demons: you can change.

This episode is more than a farewell to one of rugby league’s most resilient and respected players. It’s a raw reminder that success doesn’t make us immune to struggle, and that the courage to say “I’m not okay” can save lives.

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.
