In this episode of Reconnect to Self, we’re joined by Emotional Intelligence expert Amy Jacobson for a conversation that will shift how you think about your reactions, your relationships, and yourself.

Amy unpacks what emotional intelligence really means...and it’s not about being nice, soft, or always calm.

It’s about choosing how you show up, even when things get uncomfortable.

Together, we explore:

• Why emotional hijacks happen (and how to recover fast)

• How to face difficult conversations without losing yourself

• The real reason we avoid conflict (and how to stop)

• The difference between feeling your emotions and being ruled by them

This episode is a practical, energising guide to building emotional awareness that actually empowers your life, not just your work.

Whether you're a parent, a partner, or a leader, this one’s for you.

Why do so many of us feel anxious about money, even when we’re doing okay on paper?

In this episode of Reconnect to Self, Scott and Tracey dive into how childhood patterns, inherited beliefs and unspoken fears around money shape the way we think, feel and behave financially as adults.

From guilt around spending to the pressure to “have enough”, they share personal stories and honest reflections, all with their usual humour and down-to-earth banter.

This isn’t about budgets or spreadsheets. It’s about emotional freedom, self-worth and rewriting your relationship with money so it works for you.

🎧 In this episode:
• Why money triggers stress, even when it shouldn't
• How childhood shaped your beliefs around spending
• The invisible guilt we carry when we spend on ourselves
• What it takes to shift from scarcity to a healthier mindset

Tune in for a raw but uplifting chat that might just change how you think about money... and yourself.

This one’s a big one.

Cheating is one of those topics that people whisper about, judge quickly, or bury entirely.

But what if there’s more going on than most of us realise?

In this episode, we explore:

- What really counts as cheating (it’s not just physical)

- How affairs often begin with emotional disconnection

- Why even “good people” cheat - and are shocked by it

- The surprising relief some people feel when the truth comes out

- What it takes to rebuild trust (and when it’s not worth it)

- How to handle judgement if you choose to stay

We unpack why people cheat, not just the obvious stuff, but the emotional, relational and sometimes existential reasons behind it.

We talk about the identity loss that can creep into long-term relationships, how disconnection builds slowly, and why good people sometimes make choices that don’t line up with their values.

It’s not about excuses. It’s about understanding. And maybe, it’s about rethinking what healing looks like too.

If you've been betrayed, if you’ve cheated, or if you’re just wanting to understand this part of relationships with more compassion and less shame, this conversation is for you.

What really happens when you take ayahuasca?

When we hear the words ayahuasca or plant medicine, many of us think of remote jungles, psychedelic trips, or something “other people do.”

But what if these ancient healing tools hold the key to emotional release, personal transformation, and deep reconnection with ourselves?

In this powerful episode, Tracey & Scott sit down with Tracey's breathwork instructors Adam and Neelam — two incredibly grounded, heart-led facilitators — to explore their work in Peru holding ayahuasca ceremonies, and why they believe this medicine can help so many of us heal.

They talk about:

- What ayahuasca actually is (and how it's made)

- The structure and safety of a typical ceremony

- The raw, honest truth about what a journey can feel like

- Why it’s a catalyst for deep, personal growth

✨ Tracey also opens up about why she’s never done ayahuasca — and what still scares her about it — despite believing deeply in its healing potential.

This is not a promo for psychedelics. It’s a grounded, respectful conversation about facing yourself, honouring nature, and choosing to grow.

🌿 Whether you're curious about ayahuasca, cautious, or completely new to the idea — this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this episode, Tracey and Scott dive into one of the most common (and quietly painful) issues in long-term relationships: the slow fade of intimacy and sex.

Why do we feel so connected at the start... and then slowly drift into routine?

What role do stress, small gestures, and emotional presence actually play in our ability to stay close?

Tracey explains how intimacy is about much more than just sex — and how we can start to reconnect with intention.

💬 Expect laughter, lived experience, and one hilariously awkward moment from Tracey you’ll never unhear (yep… she said that on air 😅).

✨ IN THIS CONVERSATION:

- Why falling in love is one of the biggest pattern interrupters we experience

- How everyday life quietly erodes intimacy (and how to spot it)

- What to do when your partner expresses a need — and why ignoring it costs more than you think

- A simple mindset shift to reconnect emotionally and physically

- One of Tracey's most embarrassingly funny moments on the podcast 😳

This week on the Reconnect to Self Podcast, we sit down with Tracey's long-time friend and now Ayurvedic practitioner, Nikki O — founder of The Way of the Warrior Woman.

After years of chronic pain, burnout, and emotional depletion, Nikki found herself completely unrecognisable — physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Through a deeply personal healing journey, she discovered Ayurveda… and everything changed.

Now, she’s guiding other women back to health using simple yet powerful tools rooted in this ancient system of mind-body healing.

In this episode, we explore:

- Why burnout is often a full-body SOS — and where to begin healing.

- What Ayurveda really is (and how it helps you reconnect to self).

- How Nikki turned her pain into purpose — and how you can too.

✨ If you’re craving a more intuitive, grounded way to live — this episode is your starting point.

In this episode of the Reconnect to Self podcast, Tracey and Scott unpack one of the biggest myths about our bodies as we age — the belief that pain, stiffness and tightness are just part of getting older.

But what if that story isn’t true?

This conversation explores what’s really going on when your body feels sore, slow and stuck — and how it’s not just about what you’re doing, but how you’re doing it.

They’re joined by Greg Murphy — a qualified remedial massage therapist, myofascial release practitioner, and personal trainer — to explore what movement and recovery can look like when we stop pushing through pain and start listening to our bodies instead.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of waking up sore, struggling to move, or feeling like their best physical days are behind them.

If you’ve been told “it’s just age”… this one might change everything.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

- Why your body might be holding more than just tension

- Greg’s journey to reconnecting with movement

- How to stretch and move in a way that works with your body, not against it

- Tracey’s practical tools for restoring mobility and ease

- The emotional weight we carry in our muscles

- Reframing movement as nourishment, not punishment

- Ways to feel more connected to your body, even on hard days
