  • The Fear Of Being Seen: Confidence, Visibility & Breaking Free From Playing Small with Joanne Lazarus

    Why are so many people terrified of being visible?

    In this honest and thought-provoking episode of The Dragonfly Perspective, Paula sits down with Joanne Lazarus to explore the deeper psychology behind confidence, visibility and self-expression in a world driven by comparison, performance and fear of judgement.

    Together they unpack why so many people hide themselves online and in real life, how old conditioning impacts confidence, and what it truly means to stop shrinking yourself to make other people comfortable.

    This isn’t just a conversation about social media or being on camera.
    It’s about identity.
    Self-trust.
    Fear.
    Authenticity.
    And learning to take up space unapologetically.

    If you’ve ever struggled with confidence, worried what people think, or felt like you’re holding yourself back from the life you actually want…...this episode will resonate deeply.

    Knowledge is power. Awareness is freedom. Travel is living.

  • Survival Isn’t Living: Breathwork, Burnout & Learning To Feel Again with Kristene Wilde

    So many people are functioning, but not truly living.

    In this powerful episode of The Dragonfly Perspective, Paula sits down with Kristene Wilde from WalkTall Healing & Wellness to explore what happens when stress, trauma, grief and emotional suppression keep people trapped in survival mode for years.

    Together they unpack the conditioning that teaches people to disconnect from their bodies, ignore their intuition and keep pushing through - even when their nervous system is screaming for rest.

    This conversation dives into breathwork, emotional healing, burnout, self-trust, anxiety, overwhelm and why true healing is far deeper than the wellness trends we see online.

    If you’ve ever felt exhausted from holding everything together, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in patterns you can’t explain….. this episode will hit deeply.

    Knowledge is power. Awareness is freedom. Travel is living.

  • Success Without Alignment Still Feels Empty with Michelle Thomas

    What if the life you’ve built looks successful on the outside, but doesn’t actually feel good anymore?

    In this episode of The Dragonfly Perspective, Paula sits down with Michelle Thomas, founder and Chief Fun Officer of The Happy Business Club, for a powerful conversation about business culture, burnout, connection, authenticity, and the growing pressure to constantly perform online.

    Together, they explore what people are really searching for beneath success, why so many business owners feel disconnected from themselves, and how modern hustle culture is impacting our emotional and mental wellbeing.

    This episode is a reminder that happiness, joy, and genuine human connection are not weaknesses in business, they’re necessities.

    Because eventually, the noise gets loud enough that you either keep performing or start listening to yourself again.

    Knowledge is power.
    Awareness is freedom.
    Travel is living.

  • When your intuition knows before you do with Jo A Ripley

    What happens when you stop outsourcing your truth and start listening to what you already know?

    In this powerful episode of The Dragonfly Perspective, Paula sits down with intuitive coach Jo A Ripley for a raw, thought-provoking conversation about intuition, conditioning, energetic awareness, and the subtle ways people disconnect from themselves without even realising it.

    Together, they explore the difference between fear and intuition, the impact of living in constant noise, and why so many people ignore what their body and instincts are trying to tell them.

    This isn’t surface-level.
    This is about awareness.
    About learning to read between the lines.
    And about recognising when something feels “off” - even when the world tells you it’s normal.

    If you’ve ever questioned yourself, ignored your instincts, or felt like there’s more going on beneath the surface, this episode will stay with you.

    Because awareness changes everything.

  • Season 2 : From Pattern to Freedom

    What You Think Is You… Isn’t

    Season 2 of The Dragonfly Perspective goes beyond surface-level conversations and into the patterns, influences, and systems shaping how you think - often without you realising.

    This season explores what sits underneath identity.

    The survival responses that became personality.
    The conditioning that became “normal.”
    The influences that feel like your own thoughts….. but aren’t.

    Through real, unfiltered conversations with guests who challenge perception, we unpack:

    ✨️ How fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns quietly run everyday life
    ✨️ Why people-pleasing, overthinking, and “being the strong one” are often survival strategies - not personality traits
    ✨️ How media, AI, and digital environments are shaping belief systems in real time
    ✨️ Why so many people feel disconnected from their own intuition - and how to rebuild that trust
    ✨️ The rise of subscription culture, and how people are shifting from ownership to access, identity, and lifestyle

    This isn’t about giving you a new way to think.

    It’s about helping you recognise what’s been shaping your thinking all along.

    Because once you see the pattern, you get a choice.

    To keep repeating it.
    Or to step out of it.

    New voices. 

    Deeper conversations. 

    No filters.

    This is The Dragonfly Perspective - Season 2.

  • Entry 16 You Don’t Need More Information… You Need This Instead (Season 1 Finale)

    Season 1 ends here - but this isn’t the end.

    Because if you’ve been listening, you’ve already got what you need.

    The problem isn’t lack of information.
    It’s what you’re not seeing.

    In this final episode, I’m closing the season from a different perspective (literally, I’ll be in Vienna when this drops), and bringing it back to what actually creates change:

    👉 awareness
    👉 patterns
    👉 and the moment you stop reacting and start choosing

    This is your pause.

    Not to consume more, but to actually use what you’ve learned.

    Now you’re ready to go deeper, access the meditations and workbook here:

    Where in your life are you reacting from a pattern… instead of responding from awareness?

  • Entry 15: It’s Not About the Money - It’s the Pattern Behind It

    Travel isn’t just what you book - it’s how you show up.

    We unpack patterns around money, commitment, and behaviour, alongside industry insights and how to access luxury travel for less.

  • Entry 14 The Moment She Stopped Playing Safe

    In this episode, I’m joined by a member of my award-winning community, a grandmother of three, who opens up about building a retirement fund, creating a Plan B, and becoming open to alternative ways of making money.

    Because this isn’t just about travel - it’s about what happens when you stop relying on the “expected” path… and start questioning what’s actually possible for you.

    We talk about patterns around security, income, and trust - and what shifts when you decide to think for yourself instead of following the crowd.

  • Entry 13 The Dragonfly Perspective

    You’re not stuck.

    You’re just seeing your life from the wrong angle.

    In this episode, I break down why more work, more healing, and more effort isn’t the answer - and how your patterns, conditioning, and survival responses are quietly running the show.

    This is about cutting through the noise… and seeing what’s actually real.

    Because once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

    Where are you reacting from a pattern… instead of responding from awareness?

  • Entry 12 Colour, Confidence & Identity

    In entry twelve of The Dragonfly Perspective, Paula is joined by Hayley, founder of Mods Optical, to explore how colour, style, and self-expression can shift confidence and identity. 

    Together they discuss how the way we see ourselves influences how we show up in business, life, and different environments - and how small changes can create powerful internal shifts.

    A lighter, uplifting conversation on confidence, connection, and stepping back into who you already are.
