I was honoured to interview Dr Dickson Thom, who has been practising medicine for 50 years and is a pioneer in both naturopathic and biological medicine.

His clinic, The BioMed Centre in Scottsdale, Arizona, is truly unique, with every diagnostic test beyond our imagination, to get to the root cause of what is making each patient unwell, regardless of the potentially reductionist diagnosis they’ve been given, followed by every treatment option imaginable. His clinic is the kind that I’ve dreamed of for 2 decades now.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

Dr Thom also offers courses which you can find here.

For this first episode of 2025, I’m so excited to share with you the conversation I recorded with Gabe Golden, award winning documentary film producer and  writer. 

Inspired by his 30 year challenge with rheumatoid arthritis - the same condition I was diagnosed with aged 2 and battled with for my whole life - Gabe produced and directed “Lighting The Path” a feature film and multi-episode series that tells his story and several others as they navigate the path to healing from the most severe of chronic illness and autoimmune disease.

It’s truly an inspirational and motivational watch.

In this episode we speak about what it really means to be “diagnosed with an autoimmune condition”, if anyone can heal, and how, at the heart of it, we do that.

If you or anyone you know suffers with autoimmune conditions, this episode is a must for you, as is Gabe’s documentary.

Welcoming my hypnobirthing instructor and unofficial doula, the incredible Dani Diosi of Mama Serene, who taught me so much about the birth process and why my body was built to birth my babies, and how.

I’m so passionate about women informing themselves fully on birth before their birth - before, even, pregnancy!

In this episode you’ll learn everything you need to know about how a woman’s body is geared towards birthing her baby and all the information you need to make informed decisions around the most important thing you’ll ever do!

If ever there was a full-circle, 360, “pinch me” moment, it was this one. When I was 18 and wheelchair-bound, unable to move from my couch until someone came in to feed me and take me to the toilet, one day, my mum’s friend volunteered, and brought with her a cassette tape with the Brandon Bays Healing Sands Meditation, and an intro to The Journey Method.

It was the first meditation I ever did, my first insight into what healing the whole self meant, and was the beginning of my journey, really. I’ve meditated every day since.

In this episode I got to interview Brandon Bays herself, and hear all about how The Journey has helped hundreds of thousands of people heal.

When people join my RISE membership, in the very first module I tell them they think this is about inner child healing and shadow work and health optimisation and ancestral healing and all the other parts of the course that you go through within RISE, but that what this course is actually about, is identity. And the truth is, for every part of your life that you want to heal, or improve, it all comes down to identity above all else.

In this episode I show you just how to shift your identity to make this happen.
