If you are someone who is really dialled into the collective field, and can feel the threads of fear, contraction, and the unknown moving through - this episode is for you.

In times like this, now and in the future - how I choose to respond has more weight than I often realise.

Sometimes I want to collapse, other times I am fierce and I rise.

Both are correct and make sense.

Both need just as much heart and presence.

AND -

I know who I want to be amongst the revolution.

I know what is required of me to stay conscious, clear, and connected.

And that’s exactly what I’m offering you in this episode.

You can expect my unique flavours of depth, vulnerability, and truth, as I bring the words, ways, and medicine I am personally dosing myself with at this time.

I share 6 practice I am personally tapping into to remain connected, centred, and clear — physically, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically as a woman who values clarity.

Clarity is the cornerstone of the work I facilitate.

I sense you’ll gain loads from this episode if you find yourself oscillating between feeling clear and connected, and overwhelmed, anxious or dissonant.

Lots of magic in here.

Do enjoy.

‘Knowing the Astrology is like preparing for the weather.'

You might pack a jumper if you know it’s going to be cold outside..

Whether you understand Astrology or not, this episode will help you attune to what’s happening this year (2026), and prepare in whatever way feels most available and aligned for you.

I'm so honoured to bring you my personal Astrology goddess, Tiarnie Vidler.

Tiarnie has been supporting me on the wings for just over a year, and I’m so excited for you to experience her bold and brilliant flavour of Astrology.

My intention for this episode is to bring you the flavours, insights, dates, and energetics for 2026 - so you can ground, anchor, and prepare for what’s lighting up the stars this year.

Tiarnie and I discuss what’s especially huge this year (ahem, Feb & March are big months!) and exactly what you can be doing now to reflect on, prepare for, and support yourself as we steamroll into the year of the Fire Horse.

We chat about discernment when engaging with Astrology, especially online and with the rise of AI generated Astrology content.

We deepen into personal power and autonomy and how to integrate and anchor into Astrology, without bypassing Self.

And so much more.

In this episode I sit down with Mason Taylor, the founder of Superfeast.

From humble beginnings in his mum’s garage, SuperFeast has grown into Australia’s leading supplier of Dì Dào (地道) tonic herbs and mushrooms.

I’ve had Superfeast products in my arsenal for years - namely, I Am Gaia, The Three Treasures (Jing, Qi, Shen), Masons Mushrooms, and Reishi.

These mushies + tonics have played a life-altering and vital role in supporting my physical, emotional, mental, hormonal, energetic, and spiritual healing, foundation, and health.

And I know I’m not alone.

I was speaking with a dear friend on our not-so-regular Friday walk before this episode, and she told me that Jing (a Superfeast blend that supports fatigue (Mason dives deeper into in this episode)) has been deeply supportive for her in postpartum. She said she feels it's power right away.

These mushies + herbs aren’t just supplements.

They are sourced and crafted impeccably, and work on the deepest levels of the human psyche.

They have the ability support a human in ways you don’t often hear spoken about.

Until now.

Mason is a true devotee and master when it comes to this world of medicinal mushrooms and herbal tonics - and he matches my passion when it comes to the true healing capacity of the human body and cultivating strong foundations with health, spirit, and vitality.

I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to sit down with the man himself and bring you a profound and powerful conversation that I know will inspire and empower you in new ways.

In this episode you’ll hear Mason’s origin story, how Superfeast came to be, and learn more about these incredible mushrooms + tonics and their application.

I hope you find as much medicine in the words and stories shared as I do.

With all my heart,Ellen

Your Guest: Mason Taylor

Founder/CEO of Superfeast.

In 2011, Mason Taylor’s passion for health and his desire to access the world's best supplements, herbs and medicinal mushrooms led to the creation of SuperFeast.

From humble beginnings in his mum’s garage, SuperFeast has grown into Australia’s leading supplier of Dì Dào (地道) tonic herbs and mushrooms.Mason founded the business in the family home in suburban Gladesville, Sydney. In those days, the dream to become a mushroom and tonic herb company was so huge that it seemed impossible. Drawing inspiration from the herbalists that Mason adored, alongside his experience with longevity-enhancing supplements, SuperFeast began offering a range of obscure health products.

“There can be absolutely no compromise on quality when it comes to sourcing all of our herbs. These are the herbs that we choose to support our deepest health intentions, the herbs we give to our children and those we love. They must reflect and be of the standard that allowed these herbs to rise to become the most revered in Taoist herbalism thousands of years ago. Sourcing herbs from their spiritual homeland is born from the Taoist philosophy Dì Dào (地道).Dì Dào (地道) poetically translates as the ‘way of the Earth’, and it shows us where to harvest herbs if we wish to experience the herb’s true Spirit. This method results in a medicinally robust and Qi-full end product sourced from its ‘original place’ or ‘spiritual homeland’.

Tim is a global breathwork facilitator and sound alchemist, and the founder of SPIRITUS Breathwork —

A ceremonial, somatic healing, and trauma-informed style of breathwork that I’ve had the deep privilege of experiencing and also formally training in.

In this episode you’ll hear about my journey into breathwork facilitation, the path I walked to transform from freeze to freedom, and the deep and intricate medicine and application of SPIRITUS Breathwork from the founder himself.

If you’ve ever wondered what SPIRITUS breathwork is, what’s really happening to your brain and body as you breathe, or how to participate in breathwork if you’ve experienced trauma or negative experiences with breathwork in the past - this episode will feel like medicine to you.

Sitting down with Tim was something I envisioned the moment SPIRITUS chose me. I knew my community (you) would benefit immensely from diving deeper into the realms of SPIRITUS and Breathwork in this way.

Many of you in this space have already had the pleasure of experiencing SPIRITUS Breathwork with me through my Retreats or in 1:1 or Group experiences. And if not, this conversation serves as a doorway and an anchor for what’s truly possible when it comes to healing trauma and the body through Breathwork.

And if SPIRITUS Breathwork calls to you the same way it did me, you can explore the SPIRITUS Breathwork & Somatic Healing facilitation training here.

You can also book a private SPIRITUS session with me here.

I hope you find as much medicine in the words and stories shared as I do.

This episode is breathtakingly beautiful.

Amidst the sweet banter of two women bringing their hearts together in deep resonance and story -

You’ll hear about a ‘someday’ dream being turned into a lived reality.

Brittany Wilde is a Fantasy Author who recently *burned everything down* to pursue her long-time vision to write and debut her first (of 3) Fantasy Novel, The Sky Called Her Home.

In this episode, Brit invites you into the underbelly of her journey and transition from successful business coach to published author.

I sense the words and stories shared will inspire, captivate, and move you to trust yourself and the vision you have for your life.

With all my heart,Ellen

Your Guest: B.J. Wilde

“Writing has always been home to me. Something happens when I tap those keys and turn thoughts and mental imagery into words and worlds to interact with. It gives me a satisfaction and fulfilment that I’ve not been able to experience elsewhere. I’ve held a secret dream under lock and key in my heart since I was a little girl that I’d be an author “someday”. It has taken me until my 30s to understand that we create our “someday”, and my someday is today.

I’m B.J. Wilde and I’m a writer, mother of three little girls, wife to the man of my dreams, friend, business owner, sister, daughter, ocean lover, wellness prioritiser, and a whole bunch of other roles. I live right on the beach on the Gold Coast of Australia, with my three girls, husband and our dog Frankie.

I spend my time being a hermit, swimming in the ocean, popping down to the local cafe for a morning coffee, at the gym to nourish my mind and body, playing in the pool with my family, or as you can probably imagine, sitting at my laptop turning imaginings into stories you can read.

Writing has been the one common dream I’ve carried with me through my life, and there are two types of writing that do something to my life force, head and heart; romantic fantasy where the world building helps you escape to a completely different reality, and deep, rich and immersive memoir-style perspectives and reflections that help you think and feel more perceptively.”

If you consider yourself a woman who is here to serve from a deeper place without bypassing the real work, this episode is for you.

Soul level business requires something different.

In this episode Meghan and I discuss exactly what this difference is and the tools, practices, and truer work required to steward your highest vision (and succeed).

We delve into the more uncommon yet deeply felt aspects of being highly attuned, intuitive, and heart-led women who desire to make massive impact.

Moreover, what Meghan offers is a potent blend of depth and practicality.

* How do we know which ideas and visions are really worth pursuing or not?

* What are we forgetting to implement when it comes to soul business?

* When our soul vision is deeply linked to the state of our being, how do we hold both when the world is in ruin and chaos?

This is where we’re going with you.

It is such an honour to bring this woman and her much needed medicine to you.

With all my heart,

Ellen

What is depth work and how does it differ from self-improvement?

How do you know if you’re really ready to deepen?

What does it really mean to participate in depth work?

This is where we’re going in this episode.

This one packs a hearty punch, for sure.

It’s raw, honest, and true.

My intention for bringing this episode earth side is to create a placeholder for those of you who, like me, truly value the deeper realms and ways of moving through this world.

When you step into depth work or any variety of healing work really, sometimes what can happen is it can create and perpetuate further separation and severance from Self, others, life, Spirit, and land - and that’s not the point of healing.

You know you’re truly healing when you’re experiencing more instances of being in connection with the whole. Not above, not below, but WITH.

This is important work.

It means everything to me.

And every crevice of my world, words, and work, will offer you a way in.

Depth is not what you know.

Depth is not what you do.

Depth is a field that you’re either participating in or not.

I would love to know what you would offer to this conversation in the comments below.

Friends, I’m really honoured to bring you this episode.

As many of you know, health is my number one value in life. It is the foundation that holds and supports everything else, including the work I do in the world.

Reclaiming my health was my entry into the world of healing and self-mastery.

As such, I’m not the kind of woman who cares for quick fixes or ways to detox or flush my body without deep inquiry or incorporating my whole being into the experience.

Back in 2024 I crossed paths with Helen and participated in her Gallbladder Flush.

I was delighted by Helen’s depth, knowledge, and the way she wove the metaphysical, spiritual, and physical together, to bring about deep vitality and function to the body as a whole living system.

The Gallbladder flush has since become a seasonal staple in my life and I sing its praises because the results are genuine and support the life I see myself living 30 years from now.

In this episode Helen and I dive into the deeper purpose and layers of the Gallbladder Flush as a process that supports not only the whole body to thrive, but the mind and Spirit too.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed, resistant, or unsure how to detox, flush, or optimise and support your body and her systems into new levels of functionality and vitality, this episode is for you.

Now more than ever are our bodies feeling the burden and overload of consuming and living within toxic environments.

The Spring edition of the Gallbladder Flush kicks off September 1st 2025. If you feel called to step in and reclaim vitality, connection, and function for yourself, you can join here.

Once you’re in, you’re in for life.

I hope you find as much medicine within the words and stories shared as I do.

Someone outrageous once said “crazy is being right too soon”.

That about sums up my story.

As a multi-woman.

A multi-passionate.

A multi-initiate.

A deep thinker.

A see-er.

A woman of depth.

Welcome to Season 2, friends.

This is more than just ‘my story’.

It’s a permission slip.

A river.

A route.

A behind the scenes look at my deepest wiring.

What of yourself might you find in the words and stories I share here?

That is the medicine of story.

Perspective.

Distance.

A juicy and never seen before angle.

Enjoy the journey.

The shadow.

The medicine.

The fire.

The gold.

The forgotten magic.

The mould-breaking.

The permission.

The mess.

If nothing else, this episode is a reflection of where your life can end up when you choose to go through.

Journey with me as I lift the veil on a huge year of transition, integration, and navigating big personal change.

In this episode I share some of the ‘big’ things that I’ve been working with this year on a personal, spiritual, and heart level, and how I’ve been navigating these immense shifts in my personal, relational, and business worlds.

When I open up my inner world and share how I’m choosing to move through cycles of death, rebirth, and new growth especially —

I get amazing feedback on how insightful, expansive, and permission-giving this is.

I sincerely hope it serves and that you’re able to use aspects of my experience to expand and shed light on your own.
