In this episode of Spill the Tea, Nicky shared how she shifted from feeling stuck, overthinking, and undercharging to reclaiming her value, with a major breakthrough around money, self-worth, and being visible as a coach. After a vulnerable group call and follow-up mindset and shadow work, she changed her approach, attracted better opportunities, and made $19,096 within a week.
=================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:09 – 00:11:19 | Nicky’s identity, evolution, and coaching style
Nicky explains that she has spent much of her life carrying high energy without fully understanding its impact, and that her business focuses on helping people move from a “warrior” state of overthinking and stress into a more empowered way of being.]Kirsty reflects on Nicky’s rapid personal changes over time, noting that she tends to shed old versions of herself quickly because she is highly coachable and willing to act on feedback.
00:11:19 – 00:20:06 | Energy shift, money, and rapid results
We describe how a significant energetic shift led directly to tangible business results, including Nicky earning $19,096 within a week.Before that total, Nicky had already posted publicly that she was drawing a line in the sand, no longer willing to undercharge or operate from a place of enabling.We emphasizes that the shift happened quickly: Nicky made about $3,000 first, then $6,000 by that night, and then the total jumped to around $20,000 the next day, demonstrating the momentum that followed the internal change.
00:20:06 – 00:32:43 | Money patterns and inherited beliefs
The conversation turns to family money stories, where Nicky identifies a formative message from her father: her brother was portrayed as someone who held onto money, while Nicky was framed as generous, giving, and self-sacrificing.Nicky connects this to a deeper unconscious belief that being “good” meant giving her services away cheaply and giving away money, which made having money feel uncomfortable or even morally questionable.Kirsty points out that Nicky’s instinct is to give money away, and that this is less about logic and more about an ingrained identity pattern that has to be rewritten.
00:32:43 – 00:42:31 | Bali, healing, and next phase of growth
Nicky explains that her current trip to Bali is about going deep into healing and allowing her body and heart to catch up with the conscious changes she has already made.Her planned practices include a massage, sound/light healing, a cellular regeneration session, and a death meditation, which she says she needs in order to grieve the version of herself that was always trying to be loved and approved of.
00:42:31 – 00:46:40 | Future goals and closing reflections
Nicky states that her vision for the end of the year is to be a millionaire, to be on stage speaking to thousands of people, and to have around 100 people in her container.The episode closes with mutual appreciation: Kirsty praises Nicky’s authenticity and coaching ability, and Nicky says the container with Kirsty and Beau has been game changing because she feels loved even when she is “naughty” or messy.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed on our recent Japan trip, including a mastermind retreat in Niseko, family time in Hakuba, and memorable experiences like snow, Disneyland, and a sumo wrestling challenge. We shared that the trip sparked a new business direction: launching a certification program to train breathwork facilitators and transformational leaders with a stronger focus on confidence, leadership, business, and practical client acquisition.
=================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:14 – 00:05:44 | Japan Retreat and Travel Experiences
The episode opens with a recap of the WeBeSuccess mastermind retreat in Niseko, Japan, describing it as an amazing snow experience and framing retreats as a way to combine travel with personal and business growth.The hosts explain that the retreat focused on marketing, storytelling, and repositioning businesses, including creative work to rebuild and clarify brand direction.
00:05:44 – 00:10:39 | New Business Vision: Breathwork Certification
While the family was at Disneyland, Kirsty says she developed a new business idea and wrote the full plan for certifying breathwork facilitators in their own modality.She connects this decision to the difficult industry backlash they experienced in 2022 and says she made a personal commitment to become a stronger leader and to help others do the same.The goal of the new program is to produce more confident, self-assured breathwork facilitators and transformational specialists.
00:10:39 – 00:18:30 | Program Launch and Structure
The certification is announced as launching on June 22, with the first intake already close to sold out.The program will teach breathwork coaching, shadow work, leadership, meditation, manifestation, and business-building skills.It is structured as seven weeks online plus one week in Bali, and participants are expected to build their brand and client base during the program so they can finish with paying clients ready.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed our recent stressful travel to Bali with delayed/cancelled flights and lost luggage, emotional and nervous-system experiences during time away, the importance of self-care and regulation for high achievers, and strategies (breathwork, hypnotherapy, mindset, life audits) to prevent burnout and improve resilience.
=================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:54 – 00:08:54 | Travel disruptions and logistics
Flight disruptions: Multiple delays, a long wait on the tarmac(s), a cancellation late at night, and overnight waiting at the gate. The family experienced airport sleep on the floor and app confusion about rebooked flights.Baggage lost then flown ahead: At Taipei, checked luggage was unloaded and later discovered to have been sent on the airline’s next flight—leaving the family without clothes for ~48 hours until bags were reunited.
00:08:54 – 00:23:16 | Emotional Impact & Safety
Immediate relief in Bali: Upon arriving at their villa, Kirsty reports a substantial drop in nervous-system activation—10.5 hours of restorative sleep and a sudden sense of safety.Houston experience: Kirsty described feeling unsafe and on edge while in Houston (an incident at 2 a.m.; preference for hotels over Airbnbs in the U.S.), which amplified protective maternal vigilance.
00:23:16 – 00:39:28 | Mindset, Habits & Leadership Themes
Workaholism as avoidance: Both hosts framed chronic busyness as a primary avoidance strategy for unresolved trauma—“keeping busy” functions as a coping mechanism for high achievers.Strategy for happiness: Happiness and dysfunction are both described as having “recipes” or strategies—specific, learnable steps that compound into outcomes (e.g., mindset + breathwork + nervous-system regulation = resilient functioning).Mindset training: Kirsty emphasizes mindset as a muscle that must be trained continuously, combining cognitive/behavioral strategies with somatic tools to shift state rapidly.Concept of “recipes” or strategies for outcomes: happiness, wealth, or depression each have repeatable patterns to follow/change.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed the recent travel experiences (Dubai, USA,Bali), reflections on identity and environment influencing growth, the challenges and lessons from launching a Done For You digital agency (including hiring issues, team failures, and closing the business after generating $300,000), and personal insights on leadership, delegation, and prioritising health and wealth for the year.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:23 – 00:16:52 |Travel, Family, and Personal PrioritiesDubai mastermind retreat: transformative experience for many attendees; attendees who previously felt they couldn’t travel (or didn’t feel they’d belong) experienced rapid change and confidence shifts. Family Christmas return to Australia,Noah wanted a traditional Christmas and to see Santa, prompting a family surprise visit home and reflection on kids desire for familial connection
00:16:52 – 00:27:15 | Done For You Agency: Launch, Growth, and CollapseConcept and offering: "Done For You" offered full-service digital marketing (websites, marketing, sales, social media, automations, paid ads) with two packages: "Launch and Lead" (turnkey launch) and a maintenance option.Rapid revenue vs operational capacity: Generated ~$300,000 in three months but the company lacked manpower and resilient processes; the core We Breathe Success team became overloaded.Team performance issues: Multiple hires misrepresented skills; deliverables were incomplete or untested; unchecked work reached clients leading to quality failures and client dissatisfaction.
00:27:15 – 00:41:20 | Team Restructuring and Operations ImprovementsPersonnel changes: Three team members were fired; a new core team was hired and Shivani took on chief-of-staff/operations responsibilities.New processes: Daily 11:00 AM standups, clearer SOPs, daily end-of-day reporting, and stronger expectations about timelines and honest estimates from staff.Cultural/standards notes: Emphasis on punctuality, accountability, and doing 80% of the deliverable well rather than demanding perfect replication of the founder's work.
00:41:20 – 00:43:35 | Mindset, Growth, and Lessons LearnedFail fast and iterate: Encouragement to take risks, learn quickly, and not equate failures to self-worth.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed love and connection, emphasizing reassurance, emotional intelligence, and the importance of listening to create healthy relationships.We share personal examples of overcoming insecurity and how reassurance and consistent support strengthened their partnership. We highlight client and community wins (Kelly, Mick, Amy) to illustrate how commitment, clarity, and action lead to rapid business growth.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:50 – 00:19:59 | What is love / Relationship dynamicsLove described as an indescribable connection and deep understanding where two people don’t need to over-explain.Emphasis on listening, emotional intelligence, and creating safe conversational space to avoid miscommunication and recurring conflict.Reassurance viewed as a “superpower” — both commit to offering it to each other.
00:19:59 – 00:32:04 | Community & client winsKellie: Joined We Breathe Success, implemented “Coach The Calendar,” had her biggest cash month and began paying off her investment within two weeks.Mick : Took risks, attended events, persisted; re-signed nine people to his mentorship; credited community and accountability.Ami and other clients: Examples of members who joined after hesitation and experienced transformation (firing draining clients, gaining aligned clients, increased happiness).Importance of being in the right room — surrounding yourself with people taking action leads to faster growth.
00:32:04 – 00:41:20 | Mindset, Identity, and Failure as GrowthMindset barriers identified: fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear of success; reframing failure as growth opportunity (encourage partial failure to learn).Repetition and consistent action build confidence; early naivety can drive initial growth, but systems and leadership identity must evolve for higher revenue levels.
00:41:20 – 00:46:17 | Self-mastery and energy managementTwo controllable things: mindset and nervous system regulation. Mastering these enables resilience and consistent performance.Concrete suggestions for changing state: breath work, exercise, walks, rest, or fun social activities.

Sasha Eburne, a single mom and founder of the CEO Collective, shared her journey from a 25-year hospitality career to building a multi-six-figure remote business after being stood down during COVID. She described transitioning from virtual assistant work to creating CEO Collective to teach women how to scale businesses and duplicate her success. Sasha recounted deciding to have a child solo after fertility challenges, undergoing IVF, and becoming a certified breathwork practitioner who now trains others.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:52 – 00:14:48 | Sasha’s background and transition into entrepreneurshipSasha described growing up in New South Wales and working in hospitality. She completed TAFE certificates and diplomas, worked in luxury hotels domestically and internationally, and spent 25 years in hospitality before COVID.COVID and maternity leave overlap led to redundancy; Sasha explored other roles (real estate) and side income (direct marketing). Exposure to a colleague who became a virtual assistant led her to investigate and then start VA work in May 2021.Within 24 hours of launching a simple website she secured her first client; within weeks she reached full-time hours and within six months scaled to a 15-person VA team and multi-six-figure revenue within two years.
00:14:48 – 00:26:43 | Motherhood and fertility journeyPersonal choice: Sasha planned for motherhood and, after fertility testing, was diagnosed with endometriosis and blocked tubes with low egg count.She pursued IVF, conceived on the first attempt, and chose an Australian donor based primarily on health criteria (cost and availability influenced the choice).The conversation highlighted courage and decisive action: Sasha’s decision to parent solo and the practical considerations (donor programs, cost, health prioritization).
00:26:43 – 00:34:11 | Business model evolution and programsInitial model: one-to-one VA services and ad-hoc coaching/mentoring for women starting remote businesses.Growth pain: Sasha hit capacity limits and revenue ceilings (~$8–10k/month at one point), prompting investment in coaching and NLP training.
00:34:11 – 00:41:59 | Identity, mindset, and nervous-system workSasha invested in NLP (master practitioner) and coaching to upskill as a coach and address limiting beliefs—this was pivotal to her transition and ability to scale.Breathwork: After attending We Breathe Success events, Sasha trained as a breathwork practitioner and now certifies others—she emphasised the modality’s impact on regulation and transformation.
00:41:59 – 00:57:38 | Public exposure, media, and handling criticismSasha was featured in a news article highlighting $70k months; the piece generated positive interest and also negative, gendered comments—mostly men exhibiting “tall poppy” responses.Sasha’s approach: limit energy given to haters, focus on impact, and lean into community support. She framed criticism as projection and emphasised regulation and emotional resilience.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed Rachel’s background from Mansfield, England to the British Army and multiple tours in Afghanistan, then relocating to Australia where she built businesses including 1111 Lab skincare, Perth VIP Club and property investments. She shares candid stories about mental resilience, personal growth, healing practices (breathwork, ice baths, mindset work), and the importance of taking action and simplifying routines (less chemicals, less sugar). Rachel emphasizes trusting others, delegating to scale, and encourages listeners to stop overthinking and “just do the thing.”
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:49 – 00:09:33 | Introduction & Personal BackgroundRachel Sutton introduced as a global entrepreneur who owns multiple businesses including 11 11 Lab (skincare line) and the Perth VIP Club. Rachel describe her as charismatic, well-connected (“Mrs. Worldwide”), and highly visible in entrepreneurial circles.Rachel is from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. She emphasizes growing up in a challenging family environment and cites her uncles as positive role models who inspired her to join the British Army.She served nearly 10 years in the British Army as a combat human resources specialist and female searcher, including two tours in Afghanistan. She describes: intense routines, physical training (Insanity workouts), after-work triathlons, patrols in villages, and experiences searching women in culturally sensitive environments.
Rachel fell in love with Perth, Australia, after visiting; she chose to sign off from the British Army to emigrate and settle in Australia. She explains the resettlement/resettlement process takes roughly a year and includes transferable vocational qualifications.She describes a challenging period of identity loss after moving to Australia: in the Army she was central to social groups and in Australia she had to rebuild social status and authenticity. This process required shedding old identities and clarifying who she wanted to be.
00:25:08 – 00:45:52 | Business Journey & VenturesEntrepreneurial history began early: while deployed she started an online clothing boutique (Pink Donut Boutique) and later explored network marketing (Forever Living/Aloe Vera).Skincare origin: Working underground in mining exposed her skin to chemicals, diesel, and explosives which aggravated her skin. She began mixing products herself, saw results, was asked by others to provide them, and subsequently formalized a product line (1111 Lab). Her skincare philosophy favors minimal, natural formulations and skepticism about overly chemical-heavy, multi-step regimens.
Property flip: bought and renovated a house in Australia that sold for a substantial profit (example: bought cheaply, sold for a million—liquidity event enabling further investment).Skincare brand traction: 1111 Lab products produced marked results for users, leading to strong customer testimonials and product demand.
Resilience and reinvention: Rachel’s life arc reflects repeated reinvention—from army to mining to entrepreneurship and international living—underpinned by resilience.Intuition-driven entrepreneurship: many of her ventures began from observed problems or direct requests rather than long strategic plans.Leadership growth: ongoing work to step into scalable leadership by delegating, trusting staff, and addressing internal barriers to growth.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We discussed Kirsty’s recent cosmetic surgeries explant, breast reduction and lift, and 360° liposuction—performed in Turkey; she reports excellent aesthetic results but extreme post-operative pain, heavy swelling, and removal of 8.5 liters of fat. Kirsty repeatedly describes poor patient care and communication from the clinic (cold staff, inconsistent caregivers, lack of English communication, inadequate post-op support, unexpected additional costs for garments and massages, and questionable hygiene practices), which made the experience traumatic despite good surgical outcomes. She emphasizes gratitude for her partner and children’s support, praises lymphatic massage and compression garments (fahas) for recovery, and advises others to research providers carefully—sharing that she prefers her past experience in Thailand and warning about the importance of compassionate aftercare.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:00:55 – 00:06:21 | Reasons for surgery and prior historyKirsty’s motivation: implants placed in 2019 and 2021 resulted in heavy, uncomfortable breasts after childbirth, causing physical pain and functional limitations (neck/shoulder pain, headaches, inability to run) and dissatisfaction with appearance.She researched clinics in Turkey, had prior consultations,and weighed options before scheduling; she initially postponed to allow Beau to do surgery first.
Pre-op/intra-op: minimal bedside manner no comforting countdown or hand-holding before anesthesia, contributed to feeling isolated.Post-op awakening:severe shaking/convulsions, extreme cold, teeth chattering; minimal English spoken by staff and limited comfort measures (only blankets, no warming devices), causing acute distress.No proactive explanation of typical post-op sensations or what to expect; Kirsty reported intense anxiety recalling these moments.
Temporary post-op care took place in a small back-room/storeroom with minimal facilities; while nursing staff were described as kind, they had limited English, and wound-cleaning procedures appeared inadequate (lavender baby wipe used rather than antiseptic), prompting Kirsty to procure antiseptic supplies and self-manage cleaning later.Additional unexpected costs billed post-op: five massages and compression garments (Fajas) were required and not clearly communicated pre-op; these extras felt like hidden charges.
Strong emphasis on emotional distress: felt cold, alone, scared and traumatized by the overall experience despite being pleased with surgical outcomes.Family support (partner and two children) was instrumental in recovery children assisted with mobility and personal care; Kirsty expressed deep gratitude for their help and concern.
Kirsty emphasized that, despite excellent surgical results, the emotional trauma and poor aftercare left her unwilling to return to Turkey for future surgery; she acknowledged others have had good experiences and urged people to research well and consider post-op care and logistics when choosing a clinic.Encouraged listeners to ask questions about costs, what’s included (e.g., massages, garments, blood tests), length of recommended in-country recovery, and communication practices—offering to answer direct questions about costs and logistics.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We shared how our separation impacted our son Harvey, revealing that despite a loving home with no visible signs of distress, Harvey acted out violently at school due to bottled-up emotions from missing his father (Beau). A video call reunified him briefly and allowed him to express anger and sadness, highlighting the importance of asking deeper questions to uncover children’s hidden feelings during family transitions. The episode emphasizes checking in with children, naming emotions, and creating space for processing to prevent behavioral escalation.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:34 – 00:06:55 | School Incident and Video EvidenceTeacher called parent to office after observing unusual behavior at school; initial suspicion of inappropriate conduct.School reviewed CCTV after a child was found with a bump on the head during lunch; footage showed Harvey grabbing a toy car, throwing it, then pushing another child’s head into the table without provocation. Parent describes Harvey as loving, calm, non-violent at home and was shocked and emotional when shown the video
00:06:55 – 00:13:41 | Connection to Parental Separation and AbsenceWe link Harvey’s behavior to the prolonged absence of a parent (Beau) due to travel (about 35–40 days), suggesting the child bottled up emotions and missed his dad.When reunited via video call, Harvey admitted he was angry that his dad left and cried, indicating direct emotional impact from the separation. children may feel safe at home and therefore not display distress there, but act out in other settings where triggers occur; adults often miss these hidden emotions.
00:13:41 – 00:19:27 | Parental Reflections, Questions, and TakeawaysImportance of asking the right, deeper questions of children and partners to uncover hidden emotions rather than relying on surface-level signs.Triggers can be opportunities to bring up underlying issues; being triggered is framed positively as a prompt to address and process emotions.Validate children's feelings, name emotions, invite expression and offer tools to regulate—this helps children process and prevents escalation.

In this episode of Spill the Tea, We shared Beau’s 35-day experience living with Buddhist monks in Thailand, covering daily routines (meditation, chanting, chores, fasting), cultural and emotional challenges (shaving, ordination, arms-round alms collection), and personal insights gained about discipline, ego, attachment, and integration back into regular life.
==================================================================
In this episode of Spill the Tea, we share :
00:01:58 – 00:14:39 | Motives For Attending The MonasteryKirsty describes sensing changes in Beau and suggesting he go to the monks weeks before the infidelity incident, they had already booked the trip prior to that event.Beau explains the infidelity incident ended up pushing him to go “all in” and take the experience deeper emotionally.
00:14:39 – 00:32:31 | Arrival, Intake, and Initial Feelings at The MonasteryInitial emotional reaction: fear, loss of control, feelings like being in prison and heightened anxiety.Sleeping conditions: thin mattress, tents, thunderstorms, and wildlife noises contributed to poor sleep. Explanation of basic Buddhist lay precepts (five rules) and distinction that Buddhism is a lifestyle rather than a theistic religion. Monks’ strict precepts (227 rules): restrictions such as no sexual activity, no indulgent pleasures, and other specific cultural rules.
00:32:31 – 00:44:56 | Cultural shock, Institutionalization, and Conformity ConcernsBeau experienced culture shock and feelings of being institutionalised by repetitive rituals (chanting, bows, strict manners) and was initially resistant to the discipline.The program’s emphasis on mindfulness in every action (e.g., sweeping, eating) felt gruelling but ultimately part of the ego-killing/discipline aim.
00:44:56 – 01:01:34 | Emotional Challenges, Dark Moments, and BreakthroughsBeau described several low points (particularly around day two and again mid-way through) with intrusive thoughts about family rejection and self-worth. He reported intense crying, a major release behind the gym, and a critical WhatsApp call to Kirsty that helped him continue. Altruism and perspective shift: arms-round alms rounds to nearby villages were especially transformative; witnessing local poverty and faith prompted reflection on privilege, the nature of happiness, and how giving,even a little is valued culturally and spiritually.
01:01:34 – 01:15:27 | Reflections on Relationships and GrowthDialogue addressed how external crises can catalyze deeper inner work; the monastery stay acted as both corrective and accelerator for Beau’s personal work.We highlighted the importance of environment in habit change and addiction recovery: removing temptations and immersing in disciplined communities aids transformation.We emphasized choosing happiness as a state of mind, distinguishing between short-term pleasures and sustained inner peace.
