Episode 47: Holistic nutrition for busy professionals… real life, real results

Hello, hello, hello… welcome back my beautiful Empresses to Embody Your Empress. If you're new here, this is your space to sip, settle, and expand… to learn something new… to see from a different perspective… and to step into your Empress energy.

Today I'm joined by the fabulous Kelly Robinson. And yes, we go there… nutrition myths, kids' food intolerances, autoimmune flare triggers, and why common is not the same as normal. If the word "nutritionist" makes you feel like you're about to get in trouble… take a breath. Kelly is not the principal with a ruler. She's the woman helping you nourish your body in a real-life, doable way.

Inside this conversation • The real power of "nutrition as medicine" in busy modern life • Kelly's story… three kids with food intolerances, the elimination journey, and healing through gut health • Autoimmune support 101 for mums and women with full plates • Everyday upgrades… protein, veggies, variety, and the 30-plants-a-week guideline • Three "healthy" foods that aren't helping like you think… fruit juice… most cereal… and what to know about farmed salmon • Fussy eaters… language swaps, plate strategies, and calm ways to build brave taste buds • Why supplements are scaffolding… not the whole house • A reframe you'll love… every meal is a fresh opportunity to nourish

About Our Guest

Kelly Robinson is a Certified Practicing Nutritionist working within a "nutrition as medicine" framework. Drawn to holistic nutrition over a decade ago after discovering all three of her children had food intolerances, Kelly learned how to navigate it as a mum… and then turned it into a thriving clinical practice. She also manages her own autoimmune condition, Sjögren's Disease (pronounced "Show-grins"), using diet and lifestyle medicine. Kelly is passionate about helping people understand the powerful link between food and health… and making it feel simple, supportive, and sustainable.

Episode 46: Science to Spirit with Paige Haines

Science and spirit aren't separate worlds… they're two sides of the same beautiful truth.

In this powerful conversation, Sarah King sits down with healer and kinesiologist Paige Haines to explore what really happens when we bridge the logical and the energetic… the data and the divine.

Paige shares her deeply personal story of transformation… from her early years in the engineering world, through trauma and chronic illness, to discovering the profound power of energy and frequency healing. Together, Sarah and Paige dive into how the body stores emotions, how trauma can show up as physical symptoms, and how kinesiology helps release the past without needing to relive the pain.

They explore Human Design and what it means to truly live by your energetic blueprint… why you don't have to carry conditioning that isn't yours… and how learning to trust your design can set you free.

This episode is for the woman who feels stuck, burnt out or disconnected from herself… the one who knows there's something more waiting beneath the surface. It's your reminder that healing doesn't have to be hard… it just has to be honest.

✨ Topics we explore • Paige's journey from science to spirituality • The moment that sparked her healing path • Emotional roots behind chronic illness • Releasing trauma stored in the body • Past life and ancestral clearing • Human Design 101 and how to use it in daily life • What true alignment feels like • Embodiment, ease and Empress energy

💫 Content note This episode briefly references sexual assault and trauma. Please listen with care and step away if needed.

Episode 43: The beginning of the Soul Work

In this solo episode, I'm opening up about something I've never shared in full before… my spiritual awakening.

From the exhaustion of early motherhood to the night I first encountered the unseen world, this is the story of how everything changed — and how I became the woman, mother, and healer I am today.

I talk about: 💫 The moment that cracked me open to the spiritual realm 💫 How motherhood stripped away my identity and helped me find my truth 💫 The first time I met spirit and realised there's more to this world than what we can see 💫 What it means to awaken — and how to trust your intuition as it unfolds

This conversation is for the woman who feels like something within her is stirring… calling her home to herself. It's a reminder that your path doesn't need to look like anyone else's, and that every tear, every challenge, and every spark of curiosity is part of your becoming.

If this episode lands for you — if it stirs something in your heart — come join me in the spaces where I help women reconnect to their intuition, raise their vibration, and embody their Empress Energy.

You are powerful. You are awakening. And you are so loved.

Episode 41: Wild, Wise, Loved: Reclaiming Your Freedom in Every Area of Life

In this powerful solo episode, Sarah King lifts the veil on one of the most transformative truths of all - you don't have to choose between love and freedom.

Through raw storytelling, emotional insight, and soul-deep wisdom, Sarah explores what it means to live wild, wise, and loved - where your freedom, intuition, and authenticity lead the way.

She shares how societal conditioning has kept women small, how to rebuild self-trust, and how to rewrite the rules of what love, work, motherhood, and self-expression can truly look like when you reclaim your power.

This one's for the woman who's ready to stop shrinking, start breathing, and remember who she came here to be.

Stay wild. Stay wise. Stay loved, Empress. 👑

Episode 41: Courage Over Comfort… Saying Yes Before You Feel Ready

In this uplifting conversation, Sarah King sits down with Sara Diehm to explore what it really means to expand in real time… not once you have it all figured out, but right here in the beautiful mess of life.

They dive into • Seeing yourself beyond your profession and letting your soul lead • Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable during big seasons like wedding planning • Using visualisation that you can feel in your body… anchoring into calm in the eye of the storm • The pre and post of transformation… what no one tells you about integration and aftercare • Becoming the observer of your thoughts and softening self talk with compassion • Backing yourself when old stories say you are not smart enough… and saying yes anyway • Embodiment practices like dance… the golden light feeling of Empress energy… and calling forward your courageous alter ego

Sara shares her journey from long time aviation ground instructor to investing in coaching studies… how she moved through overwhelm with curiosity and choice… and the simple, powerful reminder to show up with courage in everyday life.

Parting wisdom Be courageous in small moments. Believe in yourself. Let every step become evidence that you are creating the life you desire.

Episode 40: The Emotional Breakdown

This week on Embody Your Empress, Sarah King gets real about the rollercoaster of emotions she's been riding - and why sometimes breakdowns are the very thing that create breakthroughs.

Sarah opens up about a powerful emotional release that brought everything in her world to a halt… and how giving herself full permission to rest created the space for an energetic upgrade, fresh creativity, and a higher frequency.

Inside this episode you'll hear about: ✨ The ripple effect of honouring your intuition and emotional cycles ✨ Why rest is vital for feminine energy, creativity, and expansion ✨ The lessons hidden in emotional breakdowns (and how they set you up for breakthroughs) ✨ The power of mentorship and being held in safe, supportive spaces ✨ A sneak peek into Sarah's upcoming 8-week course on intuition and divine guidance

This is your reminder, Empress, that rest is not weakness. Rest is preparation. Rest is how you hold more.

Episode 39: Hustle to Harmony: Building a Life That Nourishes You

We live in a world that glorifies the hustle. The grind. The endless to-do list that never seems to let up. But what happens when your worth gets tangled up in your productivity? When achievement starts running the show instead of alignment?

In this solo episode, Sarah King invites you to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what actually nourishes you.

✨ We'll explore: • The cultural conditioning that glorifies hustle • Signs you might be addicted to being busy • How 'success' became a mask for worthiness • Reconnecting to your body's rhythm and intuition • What true harmony looks like for the modern Empress • Daily rituals that prioritise pleasure over achievement • Setting goals that support your nervous system • Saying no to what drains you and yes to what expands you

This is your reminder that hustle doesn't make you worthy. Harmony does. It's time to live a life that fuels you from the inside out.
