Beyonder - The Podcast

How can traveling inward be just as transformative as traveling the world?

In this episode of Beyonder, Vee is joined by holistic health therapist Felicia for an open, honest conversation about plant medicine journeys. What they are, what they’re not, and how they can profoundly expand your perspective.

Felicia had just arrived in Sydney to begin an open-ended adventure, embracing the unknown externally - and that becomes the perfect gateway into exploring what it means to journey inward.

We dive into:

– What “plant medicine journeys” actually mean

– Why they’re often described as traveling through your inner landscapes

– The difference between a challenging experience and a “bad trip”

– The importance of safety, guidance, and environment

– Why integration before or after a ceremony matters just as much as the journey itself

– The connection between plant medicine, meditation, nature, and presence

– Community, asking for help, and remembering you don’t have to navigate deep transformation alone

This is not medical or legal advice, but a personal reflection on Vee's and Felicia's lived experiences and the lessons they've gathered through both inner and outer exploration.

Because sometimes going beyond borders isn’t about changing countries. It’s about expanding consciousness.

If you’ve ever felt curious about plant medicine — or simply about accessing deeper layers of yourself — this episode invites you to explore what resonates for you.

Moving abroad has the power to do both. But not always in the ways you expect.

In this episode of Beyonder, Vee is joined by her first special guest, her husband David, for an honest conversation about what really happens to your relationships when you move countries.

From starting their love story in Sydney to navigating an unexpected move to the Netherlands and eventually finding their way back to Australia, they reflect on how relocation impacts love, friendships, authenticity, and the way you see yourself.

This episode explores why moving abroad can feel lonely even when you’re in a relationship, how cultural differences shape connection, and what it truly takes to build belonging in a new environment.

It’s about how transitions reveal patterns, test communication, and invite growth.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why moving abroad can feel lonely, even when you’re not alone
• How relocation affects romantic relationships and friendships
• The identity shifts that come with starting over
• Why authenticity becomes even more important in a new culture
• How shared challenges can deepen connection rather than divide it

Whether you’re planning a move, already living abroad, or questioning how relocation might impact your partnership or friendships, this conversation offers perspective, honesty, and reassurance.

There’s a phase in life that many of us go through but few people talk about honestly. The phase where your old life no longer fits, but your next chapter isn’t clear yet.

In this episode of Beyonder, Vee explores what is often called the in-between phase. A time that can feel confusing, restless, and uncomfortable, especially during life transitions like moving abroad or changing careers.

Drawing from her own experience of navigating multiple major transitions, Vee shares why this phase doesn’t mean you’re stuck, behind, or failing. Instead, she invites you to see it as a powerful period of integration, recalibration, and becoming.

This episode is a gentle reminder that clarity can’t be forced. Sometimes the most meaningful growth happens when you allow yourself to slow down, listen inward, and trust what’s unfolding.

Whether you’re currently in this phase, just coming out of it, or sense it approaching, this conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and a softer way of meeting uncertainty.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What the “in-between phase” really is and why it’s more common than you think

• Why feeling restless, tired, or disconnected doesn’t mean something is wrong

• How the pressure to make decisions too quickly can actually keep you stuck

• Why clarity doesn’t come from overthinking but where it comes from instead

• How to reframe this phase as a cocoon, not a gap

You can travel to the most beautiful place in the world and still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unfulfilled.

Because changing your location doesn’t automatically change your life.

In this first full episode of Beyonder, Vee shares why moving abroad is often seen as a “reset”, and why real transformation only happens when you intentionally redesign how you live, not just where you live.

Drawing from her personal journey of moving to Australia twice, her background in immigration, and years of coaching people through relocation and life transitions, Vee explores the deeper inner work that’s often overlooked when people move abroad. From identity shifts to expectations versus reality, and the pressure to “make it work,” this episode invites you to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.

Whether you’re dreaming about moving abroad, preparing for a big move, already living overseas, or simply navigating a life transition, this episode offers grounding insights and reflective questions to help you create a life that actually fits.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why moving abroad doesn’t automatically lead to happiness or fulfillment

• How the “new country, new me” phase often fades, and what to do when it does

• The role identity, habits, and mindset play in shaping your experience abroad

• How to intentionally redesign your life before, during, or after a move

• Powerful reflection questions to help you clarify how you want to live and who you want to become

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning whether this is “it,” this episode is a reminder that nothing has gone wrong. You’re not stuck. You’re in a process of redesigning your life.
