Tina Hamilton | Inner Child Healing Coach
Tina started The Burnt Bean as a quest to help other parents like her: parents who love their children deeply, but continue to find themselves frustrated, irked, even triggered by those same children. Parents who know they can do better, but just can’t seem to figure it out.

As a parenting coach, her goal is to help you discover your childhood messages and how they are showing up in your parenting. Tina has been where you are. She has walked the path of healing from her own trauma and childhood messaging. Tina guides caregivers along their own unique healing journey so that they may parent from a place of peace and validation, instead of from negative behaviour patterns and habits that exist as a result of their own childhood. 

Come and hang out with Tina & I as we chat about Inner Child Healing.

- What is the inner child? How does it develop?
- What are some signs that the inner child needs healing?
- Why might someone consider inner child healing?
- How can you get started on inner child healing? 
- What does inner child healing look like?

In this episode I have a chat with Georgie Collinson - Anxiety mindset coach, hypnotherapist and degree-qualified nutritionist and naturopath. As a recovering perfectionist and proud high achiever, Georgie was once the prime example of someone with high-functioning anxiety. Searching for answers, she discovered a lasting breakthrough for herself and her clients: a holistic mind–body approach that considers anxiety and stress arising from thoughts, food, gut health, hormones and lifestyle. She developed this into the Anxiety Reset® Method, and her successful online Anxiety Reset Program.

We chat about:
- How Georgie's parents divorced when she was 19 yo and how this affected her
- Mastering your anxious mind
- Awareness of being driven to belong and having the choice to be able to choose the life you want to live
- Children and anxiety and ADHD
- Anxiety can really rule someone's life with crippling self doubt and it can impact our health, our relationships and our career. Part of this is that as human beings we crave certainty in life
- Anxiety is a good thing - why is this?
- The voice inside your head is not real. We are not our thoughts.
- We chat about Georgie's holistic approach when it comes  to getting life changing results with high functioning anxiety through mindset, thoughts, beliefs, trauma release, gut health, hormones, nutrition, lifestyle and intuition.

IT'S OUR 50TH EPISODE!!

To celebrate I  asked Jackson - A holistic health and fitness professional from Bondi to be my guest. Not only is he the king of one liners when it comes to health, he also has a tonne of knowledge when it comes to biohacking. Proof is in the pudding so they say and Jackson lives this lifestyle each and every day. I wanted you to have access to this information so you have the knowledge to decide for yourself what is best for you when it comes to your health.  There are still alot of people out there who just don't want to talk about this kind of stuff, for whatever reason. 

We talk about biohacking, what is it and how it works. We then talk about a controversial topic - tap water. How something you drink everyday can not be the best for your health and how the bottled water you purchase can be worse. 

We also touch on meat and eggs and what to look out for when you are buying these items. This is an episode you will not want to miss. Trust me!

Pilates at the moment seems to be a very popular option women are choosing as a way to move their body. You may have a few classes under your belt or you may be like me and have never tried it before. If you would like to know more about pilates, then this episode is for you.

I chat with Ashley, a lover of all things pilates. She has had this love affair with pilates  for over 16 years. She is the proud owner of Pash Movement, a  pilates studio in Fairy Meadow, NSW. Ash also teaches at her studio.  She has overcome limiting beliefs, anxiety, not feeling good enough to teach and stand in front of a class.

I loved hearing about Ashleys journey and what has brought her to where she is today. From working for a King on his private yacht for a royal family in Europe then coming back to Australia working very long hours and selling  vegetables at a farmers market getting up at 3.30am. 

Ashley found herself at her first teacher training deep in the jungle in the beautiful Costa Rica undertaking a Balanced Body mat course. This course was taught by a Pilates guru Paige Siefferet.

We also chat about:
