March 03, 2025102. How Melissa Marsden Got Her Spark Back & Got To The Root of Chronic Gut Issues, Weight Gain, Fatigue & Anxiety
Chris & Filly are joined with one of our fabulous incredible clients from our Ending Body Burnout Method program. When Melissa first started working with us, it was clear to see that she had created a successful business and was killing it in her profession, but the toll of many years of hustling and grinding building and running her business - as well as juggling a blended family and dealing with trauma - had taken a massive toll on her body. Mel was struggling with severe bloating, pain and constipation, she’d stacked on weight, was exhausted and feeling anxious and overwhelmed. Mel went ALL-IN on her healing journey, following every body systems protocol set up for her, based on her labs - and, even more importantly, learning to reconnect with herself, clear past trauma, let go of self-limiting beliefs and create more spaciousness in her life to deeply love and care for her self.

These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the wonderful Mel, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

About Melissa Marsden:
Melissa Marsden is a workplace strategist, business coach, author, and podcast host dedicated to creating supportive and dynamic work environments. With over 12 years leading COMUNiTI, Mel guides corporate and government teams in designing workplaces that align with their values and enhance human potential. She's the author of The Next Workplace and hosts Work Life by Design, one of Australia’s top workplace podcasts.
Mel’s approach blends strategy with heart, innovation with intuition, and ambition with alignment. She also coaches women entrepreneurs to build businesses that reflect their values and lifestyle, avoiding burnout. As a multi-award-winning entrepreneur and Telstra Business Women’s Awards finalist, Mel's passion for business and innovation is matched by her commitment to empowering others.

In this episode, Mel chats to Chris & Filly about:
How Mel supports businesses and corporate teams to create an environment that is in alignment with the team’s vision, and to support wellbeing and productivity
Why Mel reached out to us - chronic constipation that had flared up with severe bloating post-breastfeeding, weight gain, overwhelm and emotional dysregulation
The frustration of getting nowhere with doctors, colonoscopies, scans and low-fodmap dieting
The validation that came from discovering body system imbalances (adrenal fatigue, SIBO, detox and gallbladder issues) on functional labs, and how it gave her permission to slow down and rest
Getting to the deeper root-cause of “busy” burnout patterns and saying yes to everyone to try and get external significance
What it looked like to rewire, reprogram and let go of dysfunctional self-beliefs, stories, trauma and repressed emotion - getting out of
“Mentally” trying to “let things go”, and fully embodying the process
How Mel now has more flow, presence, slowness, and how her health, life and business has changed because of the deep healing
Mel’s new coaching and retreat focus, and how she’s helping other women in business get out of burnout and connect with themselves

February 24, 2025101. How To Build A Business Without Burning Out
In this episode, I (Filly) am sharing my keynote presentation that I delivered at the Her Empire Builder’s Gold Coast Conference last year in April, to a room full of 100 women entrepreneurs. When I asked the question at the start my presentation - “Have you experienced…or are you in a state of burnout?” - almost every single hand shot up. I don’t think I’ve met a woman in business who hasn’t been in burnout at some stage in her journey! Whether you’re a business owner or not, you’ll get loads out of this episode, as I show you how you can navigate your workload (be that business, job, parenting, etc) using your body as your compass to prevent burnout.

P.s. If you’re interested in learning more about Her Empire Builder, head here. I’ve been in this amazingly supportive business group for the last 18-months, and I LOVE it! Not only has it supported us in running and growing a profitable business, but the community is also so beautiful and supportive, raising each other up.

In today’s episode, Filly talks about about:
The stats of burnout in entrepreneurial women, and women juggling all the things
Signs, symptoms and patterns of body burnout
The ancient wisdom of your body
Supporting your body with lifestyle changes
Healing body systems that burnout
Rewiring the deeper parts of you, and clearing unconscious baggage
How healing unconscious beliefs led to immediately making $10k more a month - and increasing overtime
How I build a business without burning out
I take you through a “Communicating With Symptoms” practice

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly chat to their kids about:
Who their favourite parent is (hehe)
How to deal with uncomfortable emotions like stress, nervousness and anger
Things they have learned about their body and their mind
Things they do to look after their health
How to deal with social awkwardness
How to get better sleep

February 10, 202599. LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Digging into Busy, Over-Achieving, Overwhelm Patterns & The Burn-Crash Cycle
We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Mel - live on our podcast. Mel is a busy Mum of three, working many jobs & doing extra study. She is feeling stuck on the burn-crash cycle of over-achieving & juggling all the things, then feeling exhausted, low motivation & pain in the body. Mel is stuck because she LOVES all the things she does, but on the weekend she is so exhausted that she feels like she’s just existing, and not prioritising her own self-care. Mel is new to our style of deeper root-cause coaching, so the root of her “busy” patterns wasn’t discovered (yet!) in this coaching session. However, this session opened up more awareness around deeper beliefs driving burnout patterns, and created more leverage for change - especially in Mel’s case when there are A LOT of benefits of achieving & helping others (even if at the expense of self).
It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Mel for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Mel some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation.
You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in Jan). Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here.
In today’s episode, Chris coaches Mel on:
Her busy, over-achieving, chronic “yes” helping patterns
How this is affecting her body, healthy habits and her family life
Creating more awareness of achieving and helping at the expense of self
You chose this way of being - you want this (and the implications)
Every behaviour has a belief underneath
Do-Have-Be and why it never leads to health and happiness
Chasing happiness by helping others
Using “self-care” as a management tool, in the same way cocaine is used to manage deeper wounds

January 26, 202597. How Jo Got Her Spark Back, Let Go Of “Pushing On” & Healed Anxiety
Chris & Filly are joined with another of our amazing clients who recently graduated from our Ending Body Burnout Method program. When Jo reached out to us, she had been pushing on through a decade of relationship breakdowns, emotional abuse, single mummy-ing, and COVID vax trauma. Her body reached a point where enough was enough - and she got stuck in a chronic state of fight-flight, anxiety, panic attacks, and a flare up of gut issues. Jo generously and authentically shares how she healed all parts of herself inside the Ending Body Burnout Method - and the new vibrant and self-connected woman she now is!

These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Jo, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

In this episode, Jo chats to Chris & Filly about:
Divorce 10 years ago, and learning she’d been in an emotionally abusive relationship
Stress and trauma that COVID brought, and feeling bullied and silenced around the vaccine
Panic attacks, gut flareups and psychosomatic symptoms post another relationship breakup
Identifying physical body system imbalances via functional lab testing - adrenal fatigue, burned-out neurotransmitters and methane-bacterial overgrowth in the gut
Uncovering deeper ROOT-root-cause beliefs that led to patterns of people pleasing, rescuing, pushing on, and feeling like she was unheard and unseen
What it looked liked to rewire patterns & beliefs, and clearing past trauma
Listening to your gut & taking the next step towards healing yourself with courage & kindness

January 06, 202594. LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Body Image, Disconnected Parts & Self-Acceptance
We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Victoria Edmond - live on our podcast. Victoria is the founding director of Big Hearted Education - supporting family daycare educators to create stand out, work less and earn more. Victoria is not new to coaching and the transformational space, so Chris & her were able to quickly get to a deeper root & experience a really profound transformation in under an hour!
It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Victoria for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Victoria some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation.
You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation.

In today’s episode, Chris coaches Victoria on:
Exploring the disconnect between Victoria’s positive internal “soul” self-image and her less kind external “physical” self-image.
Recognising patterns of avoidance, like talking “around” the root of the issue.
Embracing her inner child part (“Vicki”) as a vulnerable but essential part of self-discovery and healing.
Transforming this part through an unconscious shift of name changing (“Vicki” to “Joy”) and deeply reconnecting with this part.
Using parts integration to unify “warring” parts of the self and align with a shared purpose.
Embodying grace in the physical body and appearance, and a returning back to “home”.

December 30, 202493. How Fiona Got Her Spark Back, Found Flow & Is Finally Overcoming Chronic Fatigue
Chris & Filly are joined with one of our fabulous incredible clients who recently graduated from our Ending Body Burnout Method program. When Fiona first started working with us, she’d been struggling with chronic fatigue for decades (think 1/10 energy levels!), brain fog, chronic body pain & headaches, and with a racing mind that kept Fiona feeling “busy”, even though her body couldn’t keep up. Fiona was a slow & steady healer, moving through our method at her pace, implementing small pieces as her capacity built up, and over 12-months we watched her energy levels increase (now at 7/10) and body pain start to reduce, as she reprogrammed deeper dysfunctional beliefs about herself and gave herself permission to flow. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the wonderful Fiona, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

About Fiona:

Fiona Forman is an Australian producer, working out of her self-designed and built, commercial grade studio ‘Red Robin Recording’ located in the island state of Tasmania. Fiona loves working with authentic artists with great songs and a great voice who love to ‘tell their story’ through the power of music. She can take a song from a simple voice memo through to a fully produced, distributable track, whether that be for streaming platforms, CD or vinyl, or for pitching to licensing opportunities.

She has recorded several EPs with local bands and duos, but has worked primarily remotely, with artists from around the world who are aiming at music in film, TV & advertising, while staying true to their artistic vision. Fiona’s strengths are groove based, guitar infused pop genres, ranging from acoustic folk through to indie pop, electro-pop and pop rock. With many tracks represented by several sync licensing agencies and libraries, the track count is growing and the placements are starting to flow.

In this episode, Fiona chats to Chris & Filly about:
Her backstory with moving from a soul-sucking job in engineering (where fatigue and body pain started showing up), to moving into creating her own music producing business, Red Robin Recording
How her health issues really flared up after the birth of her children and the sudden death of her first husband
All the things she had tried, and what gave her hope to reach out to Chris & Filly to try “one more thing”
