  • Soul Modes... our built-in life collaboration system with Carlie Maree

    Our souls are the deepest aspects of ourselves. Eternal + potent in power, that which connects us to all that ever was, is + will be. A place miracles are born. As women we inherently understand this but operating as a feminine core being, both beautifully creative + chaotic in energy can be labelled ‘crazy’- so how do we navigate ourselves with our souls in mind? Insanely talented human + best-selling author Carlie Maree knows the way, having researched a pattern she found within herself, she conducted studies + gained feedback from women all over the globe to understand the complexities of being a woman + found that far from being wrong or broken, we can use our different distinct energy states (Soul Modes) to create consistent + life-changing results! She uncovered a revolutionary guide for women to connect with our Soul Modes so we can expand the essence which is uniquely ours. Carlie Maree offers this invitation, if we accept it, to call home more self-acceptance, self-love + TRANSFORMATION than ever before. As women we are magic + the veil of this truth is being gently lifted. In this episode we dove deep into the gorgeous notion that we are not one ordinary woman but four extraordinary ones + by tracking our motivational rollercoaster we no longer need to ever feel inconsistent or crazy! So, what are the Soul Modes? Wild mode, Bear Mode, Super Mode + Sparkle Mode, we all cycle through in the exact same order but can experience them for different lengths of time. Wild Mode is fiery + change driven, when you just can’t take your BS anymore + step-up to the next level version of yourself. Bear Mode is quiet + reflective, evaluating the decisions Wild Mode you calls into action, a real deep thinker. Super Mode is a go-getter, she can tick off a whole to-list in 24 hours + craves tangible results.

  • Surrendering into the genius of femme fire with Jay Kimber

    Femininity is a word that gets bandied around as often as the latest on-trend super food... but what does it really mean to truly embody your Femme Goddess? To step into the sovereignty of pleasure + understand the essential teachings it gifts us? Jay Kimber is an entrepreneur of health, beauty, wellness & dance. She facilitates women to dive into the juicy and deeply transformational truth of getting comfortable with the burn of desire to harness the power of the feminine. Jay declares sensuality + sexuality helps us create what it is we want in life… and that embodying the sacred feminine is the magnetism we need to bring about new ways in business, life + love! 
    In this episode we chat about living from the inside out, examining the essence of feminine + masculine energies to journey through the process of surrender. Setting alight the femme fire helps us trust in timing, allowing ourselves to be guided not by goals but pleasure – a universally new place to be in business + life. Navigating through this is not without its challenges though, hitting up against the masculine energy in not only the outside world but in the inner sanctum helps us sort the valuable from the toxic traits. We delve into the significance of deepening into play + how to lean into it (because we all know how tough that can be as an adult!) and interestingly how playing can illuminate the aspects of life we often shy away from… shadows, death, life + loss. Lastly, Jay gives us a practical guide to map our centre + how we can connect to that untapped resource for fierce implementation of our most potent desires, leaving us with a great practice to do at home.

  • Trust is the Superpower of the Soul with Tamarin Oblowitz

    The personal development community can often shun the ego… it can get a bad rap, just like the black sheep in the family it is seen as the rogue that must be tamed! It seeks conflict. It is lazy and wants everything to happen now, for free and with the least amount of effort. It loves to dwell in misery + tell you stories of ‘not good enough’ but if you’re committed to healing + wholeness you can’t subcontract the work, the ego is something we must learn to integrate. Tamarin Oblowitz facilitates + supports women for deep transformation from ego to soul, believing ego has gifts for us if only we care to listen.  Feeling the women collective calling for a more conscious, spirit centred support, she witnessed a void in therapy offerings so merged her clinical psychologist, life coach + intuitive healer experience to birth EmpowHER Healing. In this episode we dive into the superpower of the soul… TRUST! Tam gives us a perfect analogy of life: a gorgeous tapestry... from the back thread running every which way, a beautiful mess but from the front, the whole picture emerges. 

    We dissect how we can become addicted to our own trauma because it breeds a familiarity cycle to pain, we so often just aren’t willing to break. Tam reignites for us the simple power of ‘this too shall pass’ + how that has served her in the midst of many of life's shitstorms. She shows us the power, resilience + confidence that can dissolve fear when you hold faith, illuminating that rock bottom provides a certain quality to a person… lending a bullet proof mindset built from trusting one’s own self that yes, you can reach the other side! Trust we find, is inherently connected to the soul + allows life to unfold in a way that is beyond magical.

  • 2020 a year of female led social + spiritual regeneration... an energy forecast with Carol Atkinson PLUS meditation by Nikki O

    2020 is set to be the year of Female leadership as we strive towards social and spiritual regeneration. Hello Sisterhood! In this episode we hear from Cosmic Carol, who gives us an energy forecast of what to expect in 2020 - a year not only important for our own individual lives but the life of humanity. She reveals the systems and structures of the patriarchy that will continue to breakdown as we move into a new era of consciousness. With Capricorn being the main player in the astrological charts, ruling our bones, teeth + organs, our physical body will be tested for perseverance and self-discipline. It is also revealed that March is a particularly important month so circle it in your calendar... there could lie a complete destruction of an area of your life, with physical or psychological wounds being called forward to heal in order to lead and achieve self-empowerment with integrity + conscious objectivity. Carol also gives us guidance on how best to use the energy of this year ahead to move mountains and achieve our personal visions!

    The meditation that follows is designed to lead you through a gentle reflection to identify + release all that no longer serves you, an important part of the process of personal-growth. What beliefs, patterns of behaviour or stories are you ready to relinquish to welcome the newest and best version of yourself? You are then invited to dive deep into dreaming of the possibilities ahead, really dig into the bigger picture of how you want your life to feel from the inside out. With a focus on fun and playful imagination allow the seeds of opportunity and visioning to float down into consciousness ready for planted in the decade ahead.

  • Money Transformation + Healing for the Modern Day Empowered, Engaged Woman... with Jess Giles

    Money scares the shit out of me. There I said it. Whether you love it, hate it or are simply indifferent towards money, it doesn’t change the fact that it impacts our daily lives. There is so much fear, embarrassment and shame tangled up with our finances we can barely breathe. To give you the cold-hard facts a recent report revealed that nearly 85% of Australians are saying it is negatively impacting their wellbeing. So, what are some of the money stories that have us so strung out? 

    There’s never enough! It goes out faster than it comes in! Money doesn’t grow on trees you know! Rich people are greedy! These are just some of the narratives swirling around in our heads… So exactly HOW do we embody the FULL expression of abundance? 

    Jess Giles from Chic Money knows the way… the M word doesn’t have to send a cold shiver down your spine. This powerhouse Money Mastery Coach is passionate about empowering women to step into their financial freedom + create real, sustainable wealth! Jess is not only a qualified Accountant, but through her Bookkeeping & Accounting Business, experienced droves of women handing over their financial power. Not one to accept the status quo, Jess then crafted a totally unique fusion of practical + spiritual principles that works in alignment with the modern day empowered, engaged woman for ultimate wealth creation. 

    Most importantly she is real, honest and bloody passionate about helping women just like us… she believes that money is a beautiful tool to facilitate change and transformation. In this week’s episode she creates an incredibly safe container to talk about the ‘real’ money stuff, she introduces us to the concept of money trauma and how that is holding us back. We identify the biggest struggle women grapple with around wealth creation – and guess what – it is ALL about building up trust and faith in a totally different way of being than what we’ve been conditioned to believe! She tells us what money & sex have in common, shares one of her biiiiig money mistakes and illuminates that Money gets to be FUN!
    Enjoy!

  • Setting Yourself FREE... Bodies, Hearts + Everything in Between with Libby Tozer

    There is no denying that body image is at the forefront of our societal culture with photo shopping, special filters and air-brushing a common occurrence to project perfection when posting our pictures online! In this fast paced, instant gratification world of Instagram and Facebook – it is all too easy to get swept up in the need to look flawless. But what is this costing us not only personally, but as a collective of women? Isn’t it time to stop and put down the injectables, the lifts, the procedures and beauty products that perpetuate the feeling that we just aren’t quite good enough as we are?! I believe YES and the ripples of change have begun... telling a different story, one that embraces all that is real + authentic. One that is vulnerable and honest, but most importantly bestows upon us the deep-seated belief of acceptance, beauty and uninhibited JOY! 

     Libby Tozer is the founder of the She Is Me Movement – a collective of women celebrating womanhood through stories and photography. Libby - an author, photographer and writer was frustratingly sick and tired of women shaming their bodies… witnessing all too often, girls as young as 12 crying in change rooms when trying on bathers. Adamant to change this devastating narrative, for Libby it seemed a natural and organic progression to birth the ‘She Is Me Movement’. Inviting empowerment, self-acceptance, and love for Women to embrace their bodies in any and all stages of the life journey. 

    In this episode we;

    🖤 unpack the trained dialogue and collective beliefs we embrace as little girls growing into women

    🖤 unlock the secret ingredient to full self-love & acceptance as a collective 

    🖤 highlighting the importance that real bodies with all the lumps and bumps be on display so our children grow up surrounded by reality rather than distorted fantasy

    A truly special episode with a magnificent big hearted soul sharing her truth & wisdom!
