                          • 46. How Shadow Work Can Heal Your Relationships with Matt Cama

                            Matt Cama is a life & business coach, animal activist, and a man who has a mission to help unleash the potential within every person who comes across his work and raises awareness for how animals are ending up on people's plates. After being bullied in high school, having his heart broken multiple times, being told he couldn’t take a drama class because he was “too shy”, Matt began attacking everything he wasn’t good at.  

                            He started making youtube videos because he hated speaking, and went on to accrue millions of views, with a subscriber count of over 150,000. He created his own businesses because he hates his old job and living in his mum’s garage, with a six-figure income today doing what he loves. He started public speaking because he was terrified and had no confidence, with sold-out retreats today in which he speaks daily.  

                            Now, Matt lives in Bali, has his dream lifestyle, can work from wherever he wants, and it all happened because he was willing to do the things that made him uncomfortable.  

                            In this episode, we dive deep into relationships, heartbreak, healing relationships patterns, dating, red flags, green flags – all of it! Get ready for a super powerful episode.

                          • 43. The Transformational Process of Surrender: Trusting Life with Nicky Clinch

                            Nicky Clinch is a Maturation Coach & Facilitator, Integrative Counsellor, Hay House Author & Mentor, and a dear friend of mine. Her first book “Surrender” is due for publication in June 2021. She is also the founder of The Alchemy of Being - The Academy of Maturation Coaching.

                            Her mission in life is for you to break free of the confines of your past traumas, self-defeating patterns and suffering, so that you can realise and come home to who you truly are. To live your life from your wholeness, your radiance and your true authentic power.

                            This is a beautiful conversation where we dove into unpacking and healing our trauma, navigating our way out of societal conditioning and our collective awakening, along with life, death and rebirth. It’s such a powerful episode, and it’s made with so much love for you.
