The one where I share the story behind The YOU Movement, and the truth about what it really takes to trust yourself and follow what you feel called toward.

In this episode, I take you through the journey from my 15 years in education into building my own business, and the internal shifts that came with stepping out of a system and into self leadership.

I share how it began with a quiet inner pull, trialling workshops with my senior students, and noticing the impact it was having, before navigating the discomfort of backing myself, rebuilding my sense of worth, and learning how to trust my own voice.

This episode also explores the evolution from The Mindset Collective into something deeper. Moving beyond mindset alone and into understanding the full self through mind, body and heart. The work of not just thinking differently, but actually knowing yourself, feeling safe within yourself, and learning how to follow the wisdom of your heart.

I speak honestly about outgrowing what once felt right, the fear that comes with making big changes, and the cost of staying where something no longer fits. Including a personal reflection on being in a long term relationship where I stayed longer than I should have, and what that taught me about self worth.

We also move into the in-between space. The phase where you’re not who you were, but you’re not quite sure who you’re becoming yet. And why this space, as uncomfortable as it can be, is actually where self trust is built.

This is not about having it all figured out.
It’s about being willing to listen to yourself and take the next step.

The YOU Movement is a space for self discovery, self leadership, and understanding that your unique essence is enough.

If something in your life is shifting, if you feel that quiet pull toward something more, this episode is your invitation to start listening.

The one that changes the way we see food, children, and ourselves.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Kyla Ringrose, paediatric dietitian and founder of Baby, Toddler and Family Mealtimes, to explore a more connected, pressure-free approach to food.

Kyla shares her Mealtime Method, a philosophy that supports children to build trust in their bodies, develop autonomy, and form a positive relationship with food over time. 

I also share how discovering Kyla’s work during my first pregnancy completely shifted the way I approached feeding my children, and how it has shaped not only my parenting, but the way I teach health as an educator.

We talk about the realities of feeding kids, the generational beliefs many of us carry, and why food is about so much more than just fuel.

This conversation also acknowledges the wide range of experiences children have, including sensitivities and neurodivergence, and why support, not shame, is key.

This episode is about helping children feel safe in their bodies, build trust within themselves, and carry that sense of self into who they become.

The one where emotional regulation becomes the turning point.

In this episode of MindKind: The Podcast, I sit down with Elizabeth from Vibrant Self Co for a deeply honest and grounding conversation about what it really looks like to move through emotional overwhelm and come back to yourself.

Elizabeth shares her experience of working in a high-pressure graphic design environment where everything felt urgent, emotional, and demanding. Over time, she began to recognise herself as what she describes as an “emotional sponge,” absorbing the energy and emotions of everyone around her, often at the expense of her own wellbeing.

The catalyst came when her nervous system completely shut down. After years of pushing, holding, and suppressing what she was feeling, her body reached a point where it simply couldn’t keep up.

What followed was a powerful shift. For the first time, Elizabeth made the decision to take responsibility for supporting herself. To slow down. To listen. To begin meeting her emotions, her body, and her needs in a completely different way.

This conversation explores what emotional regulation can actually look like in real life. Not as something perfect or controlled, but as something we learn, practise, and return to again and again.

We speak about:

• What it means to be highly sensitive in a fast-paced world
• The impact of emotional suppression on the body and nervous system
• Navigating postpartum emotions and the mental load of motherhood
• Learning to create boundaries and honour your capacity
• Elizabeth’s transition into Reiki and supporting others through emotional healing

This episode is a reminder that change doesn’t always come from having it all figured out. Sometimes it begins when your body asks you to stop… and you choose to finally listen.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, or like you’re holding more than you know what to do with, this conversation will resonate deeply.

The one where we explore what it really looks like to come home to yourself.

What happens when the life you’ve built looks good on the outside, but doesn’t feel right on the inside?

In this conversation, Nicole shares her journey from studying law and following a path that made sense, to completely redefining how she lives, works, and understands herself.

Her early years were shaped by expectations, doing what she thought she should do and chasing a version of success that looked right on paper, yet without a strong sense of who she was underneath it all. And when that foundation isn’t there, it’s so easy to start looking outward for it.

Nicole speaks openly about a season of seeking validation through experiences, relationships, partying, and pushing limits, trying to find something outside of herself that would finally feel like enough.

Her life then took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome, a rare autoimmune condition that left her paralysed for months. While this moment brought everything to a pause, the deeper shift didn’t happen straight away. It was later, through a relationship and a strong desire to prove herself to someone else, that she began to recognise the pattern and realised the work had to start within her.

From there, things began to unfold in a completely different way.

Nicole shares how she became deeply focused on healing, learning to rewire her thoughts, reconnect with her body through somatic movement, and tune into herself in a way she never had before.

What she’s come to understand now is something that feels really important… that life doesn’t have to be so complicated. There isn’t always a need for a 20 step process to find your purpose. Clarity and direction aren’t something you chase, they’re something you access when you slow down, listen, and reconnect with the wisdom of your own heart.

She’s now stepped into work that genuinely lights her up through psychic mediumship and energetic healing, supporting others on their own path of self-discovery and connection.

This conversation is honest, reflective, and a reminder that no matter how far you feel from yourself, you can always come back.

The one where we talk about manifestation… but make it sciencey, grounded, and a little bit magical.

In this episode of MindKind, I’m exploring manifestation through the lens of neuroscience, identity, habits, gratitude, energy, nervous system safety, and self-belief.

We talk about how visualisation works, why your brain filters for evidence, how rewiring old patterns helps you move toward what you want, and why manifestation is about so much more than wishful thinking. I also share my own story of being introduced to manifestation in 2022 through Zoe Marshall, the idea of co-creation, and real examples from my life that have made this work feel both practical and magical.

We also explore redirection, receiving, scarcity, envy, micro manifestations, and why the real power of manifestation may not be in getting the thing, but in becoming someone who can hold it.

A fun, honest, science-informed conversation with a sprinkle of magic.

The one where I share how understanding my children’s charts has helped me parent them differently.

My children are born from the same parents, in the same home, and are completely different.

In this episode, I’m unpacking how learning some of the foundational layers of their Human Design and Astrology has given me more awareness, more compassion, and more practical tools to support them in a way that actually meets their needs.

We explore:

• why what works for one child doesn’t always work for another

• how children process emotions, safety, energy, and decision-making differently

• the chart pieces I find most helpful

• and how this shows up so differently in my own son and daughter

A powerful conversation for parents, educators, and anyone who wants to understand children more deeply.

The one where we explore the difference between overthinking, body wisdom, fear, and intuition.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your head, replaying conversations, overanalysing decisions, struggling to switch off, or not knowing whether what you’re feeling is fear or your intuition… this episode is for you.

In this conversation, I’m unpacking what it really means to live in your head versus being connected to your body, and why so many of us have learnt to trust our thoughts more than ourselves.

I share my own experience of having a very active mind, especially as an ADHD woman, and we explore:

• why so many of our thoughts are learned patterns, not conscious truths

• how the brain is wired for familiarity, not always accuracy

• the difference between a thought, a body reaction, and intuition

• how fear can feel loud, urgent, and convincing

• why intuition often feels quieter, clearer, and more grounded

• how to regulate your nervous system before making decisions

• the power of mental rehearsal and rewiring thought patterns

• how to stop handing your power over to fear

This episode is a reminder that your mind isn’t working against you, and your body isn’t something to override or ignore. And fear doesn’t have to be the thing that leads.

There is another way to move through your life. With more awareness of what’s actually happening within you, more trust in yourself, more connection to your body and your truth,
and a deeper sense of power in how you choose to show up.

If this episode resonates, I’d love you to share it, send it to someone who needs it, or leave a review so more people can find MindKind.

Being kind to your mind changes everything.

The one where we explore whether the new year might actually be beginning now.
What if the real reset isn’t January… but this moment?

As the Sun moves into Aries, we enter the astrological new year. A new cycle in the sky that invites us into beginnings, courage and forward movement.

In this episode of MindKind: The Podcast, Liz explores the deeper meaning of Aries season and why this time of year can feel like a reset.

You’ll learn:

• why Aries begins the zodiac cycle

• how this aligns with the March equinox

• the archetype of Aries as the initiator, the spark and the one who goes first

• how to work with this energy in a way that feels aligned, not forced

• how action can look different for everyone, from bold steps to rest and self care

• how to honour your own timing and trust what feels true for you

Liz also shares personal reflections as an Aries Sun, including the lessons she has learned around rushing, forcing and learning to slow down into more intentional, honest action.

This episode includes guided reflection and a short visualisation to support you in reconnecting with what might be ready to begin in your life.

Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is take the first step.

As this episode is released, Liz is opening her new offering:

The Essence of You is a personalised guide designed to help you understand yourself more deeply through your unique energy, patterns and natural way of moving through life.

It is a practical and meaningful interpretation to support you in living with more clarity, self trust and alignment.

The one where Fabiana Higa shares how purpose is not always something we plan, but something we meet along the way.

In this deeply moving conversation, Fabiana opens up about a life shaped by change, trust, and transformation. From moving across Brazil with her husband and two daughters, to beginning again in Australia, her story is a powerful reminder that even when life feels uncertain, there can still be meaning, beauty, and purpose in the path unfolding before us.

Together, we explore what it means to let go of control, to stop resisting what is, and to instead meet life with presence, courage, and trust. Fabiana shares how each place, each challenge, and each connection became another part of the path she was building, from her work as a doula and traditional midwife to her deeper exploration of ancestry, identity, self-worth, and belonging.

We also speak about motherhood, emotional preparation, fear, resilience, self-sabotage, and the wisdom of learning to belong to yourself first. This is a conversation about planting seeds, honouring your roots, and holding life dear, even when you cannot yet see where the road is leading.

Fabiana is also releasing her beautiful new oracle set Living My Ikigai, which includes a 196-page book and a 46-card oracle deck, created to support reflection, purpose, and connection to the value of life.

The one where two things can be true.

In this episode, Liz explores the polarities of life and the permission we can give ourselves to hold more than one truth at the same time.

You can be grateful and overwhelmed.
You can love deeply and still feel exhausted.
You can have the tools and still find yourself struggling.

Through a deeply honest reflection on a moment of guilt as a parent, Liz shares a powerful realisation: sometimes it’s not the situation, the people around us, or the circumstances that are the problem. It’s our capacity in that moment. And when we understand that, we can move from blame and guilt into self-awareness and compassion.

This episode explores why our brains struggle with holding mixed emotions, the neuroscience behind self-compassion, and why contrast is a natural and necessary part of life.

Because just like day and night, inhale and exhale, tension and release, polarities are how life actually works.

In this episode, Liz shares:
• Why guilt often appears when our capacity is stretched
• The neuroscience behind self-compassion and emotional regulation
• Why hardship and gratitude can exist at the same time
• How polarities exist everywhere in life, from nature to the nervous system
• Why recognising your capacity changes how you respond to yourself and others
• Practical tools to move from self-criticism into understanding and kindness

If you’ve ever felt like you “should be coping better,” this episode is a gentle reminder that being human means holding complexity.

And sometimes the most powerful shift is realising that two things can be true.
