Welcome to the #TYMPodcast! We're diving deep into the different medicines millenials take to find the confidence to live in their truth!

We went deep, quickly, so you'll love this if you're ready to dive into a jam-packed episode of greatness. Rachel Kelly is an absolute powerhouse of a woman, and someone who's positively influenced my life as a mentor. Over the last couple of years, she's gone from airbrushed to unmasked, and in this episode we hear her vulnerable, real, raw and authentic truth in opening up about how she's changed her life from the inside out.

Rachel is an ex-scientist, strategist, high-tech product developer, and commercialisation professional who has spent the last 20 years in the science and technology sector. She led Gallagher's Enterprise Security division as Chief Product Officer, and is currently co-Owner of Taylored Health & Performance, a holistic, science-backed corporate wellness hub and co-CEO of a new biotech startup, leveraging advanced technologies to unlock the health and potential of global leaders. Rachel is currently a Ministerial Advisor on the Digital Council of Aotearoa New Zealand and Board Member at Callaghan Innovation.

This episode explores the ways we can take the armor off, shed skins, surrender to our inner-knowing, and face fear and uncertainty with deep trust for life-changing quantum moments. She talks in depth about triggering moments, and how to navigate through them in a place of personal power. She dives into practical ways to overcome limiting beliefs, and how sleep should be more of priority in our lives if we want to be our best.

My favourite bit? This golden nugget....

"Holding a belief doesn’t mean it’s true. A helpful belief that is not true is still helpful if it doesn’t hurt anyone. An unhelpful belief that’s untrue is even worse. Because it’s not helping you grow."

This episode broke the stigma around mental health, and talks at depth around many ways you can apply healing balm to your emotions.

Rawinia Judson is a transformational Author & Coach supporting wellbeing and expression through curiosity, connection and courage.
