Not So Status Quo

In this episode, I’m joined by Elise Catchlove, an accredited Vedic meditation teacher who helps women create deeply nourishing lives. From skin struggles and silent anxiety to a powerful journey of self-healing and purpose, Elise is a true example of how inner stillness can transform everything.

Elise opens up about:
✨ Growing up with chronic skin issues that impacted her confidence
✨ Battling anxiety long before she had a name for it
✨ Pivoting from acting to fashion, and then walking away from her own label
✨ Discovering Vedic meditation and how it helped her reclaim her peace
✨ Navigating a major health crisis after a Botox reaction
✨ The tools and mindset shifts that helped her build a life rooted in alignment
✨ Her signature 10-pillar framework for living a more fulfilled life

Elise’s story is a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t about perfection, it’s about learning to come home to yourself. If you’re craving more calm, clarity and connection to your purpose, this episode is for you.

Do you feel like you're doing all the right things to achieve your goals, but something still feels out of reach?

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most powerful forces shaping your reality: self-concept... the beliefs, identity and subconscious stories you hold about who you are and what you’re capable of.

Whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your confidence, or your ability to attract aligned opportunities, your self-concept is influencing everything. And if it’s outdated or misaligned, no amount of hustle or positive thinking will create lasting change.

Inside this episode:
✨ What self-concept actually is and why it matters
✨ How subconscious beliefs silently sabotage your goals
✨ Signs you're still operating from an old identity
✨ The personal shifts I’ve made that changed everything
✨ How to start rewriting your identity and becoming the version of you who has it all

If you’ve been manifesting, journaling and doing “the work” but not seeing the results you expected, this episode will show you where your power really lies.

This is the inner work that creates outer transformation.

Let’s shift your self-concept and elevate your reality.

Today’s guest is the brilliant and bold Sydney Graves, known online as @ukmidwife_down_under, whose journey from being told she “wouldn’t amount to much” to building a dream life across the world is nothing short of powerful.

In this episode, we explore how Sydney went from struggling in school and being underestimated, to becoming a midwife in the UK, landing her dream hospital job, and eventually leaving it all behind to move to Australia and start over.

After documenting her relocation journey online, Sydney’s following grew rapidly, leading her to pivot from her midwifery career into full-time content creation, travel and helping others relocate to Australia. Along the way, she overcame limiting beliefs, leaned into personal growth and even manifested many of the things she once hid on a vision board.

We chat about:✨ How negative labels in childhood shaped (and motivated) her journey✨ Landing her dream job as a UK midwife, then choosing to leave it✨ Moving to Australia and starting over from scratch✨ Building a personal brand and growing a social media following✨ Her evolving relationship with manifestation and mindset work✨ What she’s learned about alignment, risk and trusting the process

Whether you’re craving reinvention, curious about starting over abroad, or wondering how to trust your intuition more deeply, this episode is for you.

If you feel like you’re doing all the right things to manifest your dream life... journaling, visualising, saying the affirmations, but it’s still not showing up the way you imagined, this episode is for you.

In this solo episode, we dive into why manifestation isn’t magic - it’s subconscious identity and energy work. Lauren breaks down how your subconscious beliefs, self-concept, and energetic state are shaping your reality, and why you don’t manifest what you want… you manifest who you are.

We explore:✨ Why "wanting" isn’t enough to manifest✨ How to become an energetic match for your goals✨ What your current state of manifesting is✨ The power of identity, self-concept & energy regulation✨ What it really means to align with your dream life

If you're ready to go beyond the surface-level manifestation tools and actually embody the version of you who already has it all, this episode will shift everything.

What if the reason your life isn’t matching your vision has nothing to do with how hard you’re working and everything to do with the beliefs running silently in the background?

In this solo episode, I’m diving into how your subconscious mind is shaping your reality, why you don’t manifest what you want but who you are, and what it really takes to shift your identity at the root.

We’ll discuss:

• What subconscious beliefs are and how they’re formed

• How your identity influences what you attract (or block)

• Why mindset work alone often doesn’t stick

• The first steps to start rewiring your beliefs today

This conversation will challenge how you see your current patterns, and open the door to the version of you who actually lives the life you’ve been craving.

✨ Leaving a toxic job in Hong Kong to write her first book
✨ Building a global DIY and lifestyle brand from scratch
✨ Her most viral projects (including the travertine table that broke Bunnings)
✨ Why your unique voice matters more than ever in the age of AI

Today’s guest is living proof that when you shift your mindset, take aligned action, and open yourself to new possibilities... everything can change, FAST.

Keziah Loewen was working full-time as a physiotherapist and juggling a side hustle in property management when she realised something needed to shift. Craving time and financial freedom, she took a leap and joined my 6-week 1:1 intensive mentoring program. What happened next was nothing short of incredible.

In just six weeks, Keziah 10x’d her business, reduced her physio days, and shortly after achieved goals she once thought would take years to achieve. But more than the external wins, it’s the deep internal shifts around self-doubt, mindset, and owning her potential that truly changed her path.

In this episode, we dive into:✨ The story behind Keziah’s pivot from employee to entrepreneur
✨ How one book (Rich Dad Poor Dad) cracked open a new way of thinking
✨ The mindset work that helped her get out of her own way
✨ The power of acting before you feel “ready”

If you’re sitting on big dreams but doubting your ability to make them happen, this one is for you.

Change can feel uncomfortable, even when we know deep down it’s exactly what we need. But what if instead of resisting it, we leaned in and saw it as an invitation to step into an even more aligned version of ourselves?

In this episode, we’re diving into the power of reinvention - why so many of us struggle to give ourselves permission to change and how embracing evolution is the key to a more fulfilling life.

We’ll explore:

• Why we resist change, even when we crave it
• How to know when it’s time to step into your reinvention era
• The fears, doubts, and societal conditioning that hold us back from evolving

If you’ve ever felt stuck in an identity that no longer fits, or like you’re waiting for permission to go after the life you truly want, this episode is for you. It’s time to break free from the expectations holding you back and step boldly into your next chapter.

Have you ever felt like life keeps throwing the same situations your way, almost as if it’s testing you? That’s because it probably is...

In this episode, we’re unpacking life’s tests - those moments when you’re presented with an opportunity that almost aligns with your desires, but deep down, you know it’s not quite right. These moments challenge your self-worth, boundaries, and trust in yourself.

We’ll explore:
✨ What life tests really are and how to recognise them
✨ The fine line between patience and settling
✨ Why you’re often tempted with the “almost” version of what you truly want
✨ How to pass these tests and step into your highest potential
✨ Personal insights and lessons learned along the way

If you’ve ever questioned whether to say yes or walk away, this episode will help you tune into your intuition, trust your worth, and make decisions that align with your dream life.
