Number 1: Why We Don’t Trust Politicians Anymore — And Can They Win Us Back?
Why don’t we trust politicians anymore — and can they win us back? For the first episode of Season 21, I’m joined by two Hey Soul Sista favourites, Alex Morris and Jaimie Abbott, for a lively, honest and at times very funny conversation about politics, power and trust. With Jaimie’s first-hand experience as a former political candidate and councillor, Alex’s perspective as a journalist and social commentator, and my own growing frustration with politics in Australia, we unpack why so many people feel disconnected from the people meant to represent them. We talk about political spin, the media cycle, social media and outrage, why politicians can seem so out of touch, whether people are becoming more cynical or simply demanding better, and what it might actually take to rebuild trust. Jaimie also shares what most people don’t see about the political world, including just how hard many politicians work behind the scenes, while Alex challenges us to think about the role we all play in the media and political ecosystem. And perhaps most importantly, we ask whether there is still reason to feel hopeful. Because maybe people haven’t stopped caring about politics. Maybe they’ve stopped believing politics cares about them. In this episode, we explore: • Why trust in politicians has declined • The difference between leadership and authority • Why spin can be more damaging than simply admitting a mistake • How social media and outrage shape political conversation • What Jaimie learned from being inside politics • Why listening may be one of the biggest things politicians are missing • Whether ordinary people can still create meaningful change This is not a left-versus-right conversation. It’s a conversation about trust, leadership, accountability, community and what we want from the people who represent us.

Number 3: Is America facing its Handmaid’s Tale? - with Alex Morris
A deep political and emotional divide is shaping the way women in America see their country, their safety, and their future — with left-leaning and right-leaning women often living in what feel like completely different realities. In this timely and eye-opening episode, host Mel Histon, sits down with journalist and cultural commentator Alex Morris, who has just returned from the United States — and what she witnessed there speaks volumes about the state of women, politics, and public sentiment in America today. From small Kentucky towns to national conversations, Alex shares the starkly different worlds that left-leaning and right-leaning Americans are living in — and why the divide feels deeper than ever. Mel and Alex explore why Trump’s messaging on crime and safety lands so powerfully with certain women, the cultural narratives that shape how women on both sides see the world, and the emotional toll political polarization is taking on female identity, community, and confidence.

Number 4: The Biggest Lie We Tell Ourselves: “I’ll Do It Tomorrow” — NOW Is the Time
What if the biggest lie we tell ourselves is: “I’ll do it tomorrow”? In this episode of Hey Soul Sista, Geoff Rupp returns for a powerful conversation about why so many of us keep putting off the life we really want to live — and why the time to begin is now. Fresh from two months in India, where he led a spiritual retreat through sacred planetary temples, Geoff shares what those experiences taught him about purpose, presence, self-love and the way we move through life. We talk about why we can become trapped in the “ever-repeating known,” how fear and ego can quietly keep us playing small, and why taking even one small step toward the life you want can begin to change everything. Geoff also shares one of the most confronting lessons he has learned from speaking with people nearing the end of their lives: we think we have more time than we do. We wait until the kids are older, until we retire, until we have more money, until life settles down — but sometimes tomorrow doesn’t unfold the way we imagined. We explore: Why Geoff believes we’re here to evolve, not simply move through life on autopilot The difference between letting fear lead and trusting yourself Why meditation and breathwork can help create greater clarity How to stop looking outside yourself for happiness Why relationships should complement you rather than complete you The importance of putting yourself back on your own priority list How taking one small action now can move you toward the life you really want And Geoff shares stories from his extraordinary journey through India — including sacred fire ceremonies, ancient temples and an unexpected experience involving an emerald shivlingam that had reportedly not been brought out for years. This conversation is a reminder that your life isn’t a waiting room. If there’s something you’ve been telling yourself you’ll do “one day”… maybe this is your sign to begin. ** To find out more about Geoff's upcoming retreat to India, visit his website.
