Hey Legends,

This week’s episode is not your average success story.

But it's probably one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had.

I sat down with Paris Le Maistre, and I walked away absolutely gobsmacked by the trenchy-depths she’s lived through, and the heights she’s now rising to. It is a story of being:

💥 Addicted to meth at 19.

💥 Using daily for a decade.

💥 What a hit of meth actually feels like (I had to know)

💥 What it looks like to be a high-functioning meth addict (my assumptions and stereotypes were so wrong).

💥 The crazy shit that happens on drug-induced psychosis.

💥 How she got into high-class escorting to survive...and the wild things she witnessed in the Underbelly of Melbourne 

And how, somehow…

💫 She clawed her way out

💫 She found sobriety

💫 She’s built a business helping others do the same

💫 She’s become the kind of woman who can say “I got this” and mean it.

This is not a cute little redemption arc.

This is a jaw-dropping, holy-shit-she-survived kind of story. 

And it will recalibrate your compassion, your understanding of addiction, and your belief in what's possible.

✨ If you’ve ever known someone battling demons they don’t talk about…

 ✨ If you’ve ever been curious what really goes on beneath addiction…

 ✨ Or if you just want to witness a woman turning her pain into powerful purpose...

You need to listen to this episode.

Paris, I see you.

And for everyone who tunes in, I think you’ll walk away seeing yourself and others, a little more clearly too.

With massive admiration,

Hiiiiiiii,

This is the episode.

The one I’ve played out in my head a thousand times… but honestly, there were days I wasn’t sure it would ever exist.

For two years, I’ve been on a fertility rollercoaster that’s chewed me up, spat me out, patched me together and then thrown me back on for another round. 

I’ve sat in waiting rooms with my heart in my throat. I’ve done injections at 6 am with shaking hands. I’ve cried in carparks. I’ve Googled at 2 am until my eyes stung.

And now… I finally get to tell you what happened after our first IVF transfer.

And our second.

Tune in as my beautiful friend, Heidi Anderson, asks me all the juicy questions:

• The traumatic experience that put me off IVF for good
• My rock-bottom moment and why I "gave up" 
• The (drugged-up, high AF) second transfer, and the crazy dreams and messages I started receiving
• The moment Paul and I found out… sitting by a campfire, off-grid, holding our breath.
• My reaction, Paul's reaction, friends' and family's reactions
• My first trimester experience (wtf, am I actually typng this?!) 
• My gender prediction...and so much more.

Honestly, this is my favourite episode yet.

Whether you’ve been here from the start of my journey or you’ve only just joined The Mind School family, this one’s for you, because you’ve been holding hope for me in ways you might not even realise.

P.S. I talk about the exact playlist my friends made for me for my embryo transfer and why one song will always make me cry now.

Hey there,

I’ve been sitting on this one for two years.

Two years of doctor’s appointments, test results, surgeries, injections, hope, heartbreak, more hope… and so much I’ve never said out loud.

On The Mind School Podcast this week, I’m sitting with my beautiful friend, Heidi Anderson, to unpack my two-year journey of trying to conceive and what it’s done to my mind, my marriage, my business, and my identity.

It’s emotional, it’s messy, and it’s so much bigger than “just” fertility.

I talk about:

• The moment a specialist looked me in the eye and used the word hysterectomy at 29.
• How IVF felt like both my biggest surrender… and my biggest fight.
• The quiet heartbreak of leading a room of clients while bleeding from another negative month.
• The wild thoughts your mind takes you to when you’re desperate for answers.
• How the past 2 years have impacted the thing most important to me...my marriage. 
• And why, even as a mindset coach, I let myself be both powerful and a complete train wreck in front of clients.

If you’ve ever been through something big that no one really sees… or loved someone who has… this episode will crack something open for you.

Because it’s not just about fertility.

It’s about grief, resilience, friendship, and letting yourself be seen when you’d rather hide.

Hey Legend,

Ever feel like you’ve read all the books, listened to all the podcasts, done all the “self-help” ...and yet you’re still stuck in your head? Life hasn't actually changed?

This is exactly why I invited Craig Anthony Harper on The Mind School Podcast this week.

Craig is a behavioural scientist, high-performance coach, author, speaker, researcher, and genuinely one of the most insightful humans I’ve ever met. 

We went deep into:

 🧠 Why thinking about thinking is both powerful and dangerous.

 🙈 The difference between self-awareness and actual change (prepare to feel called out)/

 😬 Why choosing comfort is the dumbest f*cking thing we can do (his words, not mine... but also... mine).

 🤯 How our thoughts hijack our physiology—and how to get your power back

 😵‍💫 Why more people than ever are aware, but not better.

 📉 The trap of motivation and why habits—not hype—are the real MVP.

This conversation was raw, practical, funny, expansive, and will have you re-evaluating what it actually takes to create a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Craig said it was the best interview he’s done all year. I’m not crying, you are.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own potential, spiralled in overthinking, or wondered if you’re doing it wrong because you haven’t figured it all out yet

 This one’s for you.

Go listen. Let it hit.

Then go do the hard, worth-it thing.

With love,

Waddup legend!

You know when a conversation stirs something deep in your chest and you don’t even realise you needed to hear it until the words are already in your bloodstream?

This is one of those.

I just dropped a brand new episode of The Mind School Podcast with the magnetic Simone Heng, global keynote speaker, author of Let’s Talk About Loneliness, and one of the most real, warm, and whip-smart women I’ve ever had the privilege of interviewing.

We spoke about:

 ✨ The subtle ache of feeling guilty when you're here but your heart is there

 ✨ Why most people don’t realise they’re lonely (and how it’s showing up in your life + work)

 ✨ The REAL art of connection, from rapport-building to mirroring without losing yourself

 ✨ The uncomfortable truth about vulnerability online and why the “authenticity era” might be ending

 ✨ The beauty industry, pretty privilege and the quiet grief of letting go of being the hot one

 ✨ Rewriting success and scaling down instead of up

Honestly, this one isn’t just thought-provoking, it’s soul-provoking.

 It’s the kind of conversation that makes you question how you’ve been connecting, and who you’ve been trying to be in the process.

Simone’s blend of research, storytelling and truth-bombs will have you nodding one minute and tearing up the next.

if the topic of connection + loneliness has your heart beating faster, go grab Simone’s book Let’s Talk About Loneliness. It’s a research-backed, beautifully written must-read that will change the way you see yourself and others. Just Google “Simone Heng book” and it’ll pop up at your local retailer (or head to Dymocks if you’re in Aus!).

Hey  there,

So here's something I didn't expect to say…

Recently, I had to do some shadow work on Mel Robbins.Yes. Mel-freakin-Robbins.

I love her. I admire her.

And yet… when her name kept popping up, something inside me went ick.

It was subtle.

But it was there.

A little eye roll.

A weird internal commentary.

 A “Ugh, why is everyone so obsessed with her?”

👀 Cue the ego flare-up.

But instead of spiritually bypassing it or pretending I was “just tired” (LOL),I did what I teach…

I sat the f down, got curious, and cracked open that Let Them book I’d been side-eyeing from a distance.

And what I uncovered?

Wow. Game. Changing. Clarity.

👉 The episode is raw.

👉 It’s a little unhinged.

👉 And it might just hold a mirror up to your own secret judgments (yes, even the petty ones).

This one is for the gnarly parts of ourselves we don't like to admit...are still there. The jealous. The catty. The judgmental. The 

And if you're reading this thinking: 

"I don't experience that...." 

"I've transcended that...."

"I don't really get bitchy or jealous..."

I love you, but that it the tell-tale sign that you need this episode the most-est. And yuppppp, it hurts the ego. 

My ego is slightly bruised....but I'm SO glad I sat down to share this story. 

🎧 Listen to the episode here.

Big love and honest mirrors,

Let me be clear...

This episode is NOT for the faint of heart.

We’re going there.

Shadow work. Manipulation. Shame. Self-righteous healing. The sh*t you swear you’re not doing (but might totally be doing).

I sat down with the SHADOW QUEEN herself  ✨Felicity Morgan ✨  and within 2 minutes we were already talking about:

• Manipulating partners to get our way 😬
• Poop particles on toothbrushes (yes, really)
• Being addicted to attention and chaos
• Why “love and light” work is keeping people stuck
• The self-help era that’s secretly keeping you a victim

Flick didn’t just share her wisdom, she cracked open her personal story with jaw-dropping honesty.

 Abuse. Homelessness. Trauma.

 And how she took radical responsibility and transmuted it into power.

This episode will rattle your cage in the best way.

 It’s one of the most potent, raw, and unfiltered conversations I’ve ever had.

If you’ve ever done “the inner work” but still feel stuck… this one will hit different.

This is your invitation to stop bypassing your own truth, and finally set yourself free.

You ever feel like you’re just... behind?

 Like everyone else got the manual, and you’re stuck re-reading chapter one?

Maybe it’s in your business.

 Your bank account.

 Your body.

 Your relationship status.

 Your career, your fertility, your family, your life.

That gnawing feeling of “I should be further along by now.”

I know it intimately.

 Which is why I recorded this new episode from the coziest corner of my house — hoodie on, Ugg boots zipped, tea in hand — and I let it rip.

Inside this episode of The Mind School Podcast, I dive deep into:

✨ Why “I’m not where I should be” is the most common lie we all buy into

 ✨ The arrival fallacy (aka why you never feel “done” even when you “get there”)

 ✨ How outdated social timelines are secretly running your decisions

 ✨ A fiery reframe that will give you your power (and peace) back

 ✨ Why falling behind might actually mean… you’re right on time

This is one of those pour-your-heart-out episodes.

 If you’ve ever cried on your birthday because you thought you’d be somewhere else by now, listen to this.

 If you’ve ever compared your path to your friends’ highlight reel and felt like a total failure, listen to this.

 If you’re tired of being told to trust the timing, but you kinda don’t, this one’s for you.

She’s BACK on the mic, but not in the way you might expect.

Not with a curated list of dot points.

Not with a 10-step productivity hack.

Not with the polished, peppy, “rah rah” tone you’ve maybe come to know me for.

This one’s raw. It’s real. It’s a little cracked open.

It’s the season of the messy middle , and we’re kicking it off with the truth:

👉 Why Breanna really stopped podcasting

👉 How “discipline” turned into self-abandonment

👉 The behind-the-scenes of juggling IVF, identity shifts & business

👉 The surprising story I uncovered underneath my own rules + routines

👉 What this break taught me about devotion vs depletion

If you’re someone who:

• Clings to routines because they make you feel safe
• Has a “no matter what” kind of energy that has no off button
• Hold yourself to high standards while juggling alllll the things
• Is high-achieving, high-functioning, but feeling low-key fried 

This episode will speak to you in every cell of your body.

 It’s not another pep talk.

 It’s permission to soften.

 To shift.

 To breathe.

🎧 Listen now 

And if you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the in-between — not who you were, not yet who you’re becoming... know this:

The mushy middle IS the magic.

And you don’t have to have it all together to still be powerful AF.

This season is deeper. Realer. Wilder.

 I’ve got guests coming who will shake your soul open.

School is back.

Let’s begin.

Hey there,

Real talk:

 This week, my inner critic was being a lil biiish.

You know the one:

 The voice that says,

"What’s the point?"

"Are you even helping anyone?"

"Why even bother?"

It was LOUD.

 It was annoying.

 And for a moment, it almost stopped me from hitting record.

But I did it anyway.

 And what came out of it... was one of the most honest episodes I’ve ever recorded.

🎧 My Inner Critic is Bein a Lil Biiiish: Recording Anyway

 [Listen here]  

If you’ve ever:

• Gotten stuck in your head before taking action
• Let self-doubt slow you down
• Wondered if everyone else has it easier (spoiler: they don’t)

...this episode will feel like a big exhale. 🧡

Inside, I’m sharing the truth most people don’t:

 ➡️ How even the most confident people still hear that voice.

 ➡️ Why “getting rid” of fear is a scam.

 ➡️ The real secret to moving forward even when you feel messy, doubtful, or scared.

This is the kind of thing I wish someone said out loud when I was building my dreams.

 So today, I’m saying it for you.

[Listen now] — and maybe save it for the next time your inner critic starts mouthing off. 😉
