Hi there,

If you’ve ever thought:

• “I can’t go all in yet, I need more security…” Or
• “My business will crumble the second I have a baby…” Or even 
• “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this…”

You need this week’s episode of The Mind School Podcast.

I sat down with the ray of sunshine herself, Monique (aka The Socialista), who went from 100 followers and Canva logos to selling out courses, running powerhouse events, and navigating business + motherhood like an absolute weapon.

Here’s what we unpacked (and trust me, it’s juicy):

✨ Why “job security” is the biggest lie we were all sold

✨ The answer to the question: Do you need to niche to stand out online?

 ✨ How she rebuilt her multi-6-figure business after losing every single client in COVID

 ✨ The real secret behind selling with only 2,000 followers

 ✨ What actually happens when you blow up overnight (and what comes after)

 ✨ Motherhood, mat leave, identity shifts and the messy truth of running a business with a baby on your hip

It’s honest. It’s hilarious. It’s refreshing. And it’s going to give you a big permission slip to do business YOUR way... no niche boxes, no AI-bot sounding content, no “play it safe” rules.

This episode is basically your new fave pep talk.

Hey legend,

You know that moment where you look around at your life and think… “Hang on. I did all the ‘right’ things. I ticked all the boxes. So why am I not happy?”

That’s exactly where Rayne found herself.

From the outside? She had it all.

From the inside? Her heart was literally breaking.

In this conversation, Rayne shares:

 ✨ The day she realised her marriage was over (and the symptoms her body sent her first)

 ✨ Why women stay in situations that don’t light them up – and how to get unstuck

 ✨ The difference between “existing” and truly living

 ✨ How to grieve a life you thought would make you happy

 ✨ Why authenticity isn’t a hashtag – it’s a daily practice

This isn’t just a chat. It’s a raw, radically honest, permission slip to stop settling.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, numb, or like there’s something more calling you – you need to hear this.

🎙 Listen now

Because sometimes… the breakdown really is the breakthrough.

In this week’s episode of The Mind School Podcast, I sat down with the fiery, unapologetic, and wildly entertaining Rebecca Antonucci, and let me tell you...We went there. 

We talked about:

 ✨ How the online #bossbabe space has become like a popular Mean Girls school-yard. 

✨ Rebecca's story of overcoming Herpes shame, and her experience disclosing to new partners. 

✨Gross, wounded, icky things women are doing online that are actually demasculating men (PREACH). 

 ✨ Why the “mad at men” era is keeping women stuck & disconnected.

 ✨ How to practice vulnerability in bite-sized, doable steps (instead of faking it).

 ✨ And yes… why women faking orgasms is actually sabotaging their relationships.

Rebecca doesn’t sugarcoat. She doesn’t play nice for the nuance police. She says the thing most people won’t, and that’s exactly why I knew I had to bring her on.

If you’ve ever dimmed yourself online, held back your real opinions, or feared being “too much,” this conversation is your permission slip to stop playing small.

🎧 Tune in here 

And warning: you’ll probably walk away equal parts entertained, convicted, and ready to burn down every fake performance of “being palatable.”

Love,

Hey waddup,

Welcome to The Pregnancy Diaries! the raw, unfiltered, probably-too-honest series I never thought I’d get to record. After two pretty f*cked years of trying to conceive, ya girl is finally pregnant. 🙏✨

And I promised myself (and you) that when this day came, I wouldn’t sugar-coat it.

This is the messy, magical middle.

Episode One is officially live and it’s a full recap of my first trimester:

🍟 Why my body has basically turned into a trash can (hint: 90% fries, 10% baby).

 🍔 How I went from “my body is a temple” to smashing Hungry Jack’s Whoppers like a teenage boy.

 💤 The exhaustion, swollen boobs and emotional rollercoaster of IVF meds + pregnancy hormones.

 😂 The funniest reactions from friends & family when we shared the news.

 👶 Plus, the scans, the tears, and the first “oh sh*t this is real” moment.

If you’re pregnant, trying to be, or just love an honest story with equal parts humour + heart,this one’s for you.

👉 [Listen to Episode One of The Pregnancy Diaries now]

This series is my way of bringing you behind the scenes into all the weird, hilarious, identity-shifting moments of pregnancy. 

The bits no one tells you, the lessons hidden in the fries, and the joy of the bump that isn’t just bloat (sometimes).

Can’t wait for you to hear it.

Big love,

Breanna x

Hey,

This week on The Mind School Podcast, I’m going rogue on my real thoughts about the personal development industry, and why I think it can be toxic. 

👉 Allow me to introduce the Six (Toxic) Stages of the personal development industry.

Because sometimes the very thing that can change your life… can also become toxic AF. 

I’ve seen it in clients. I’ve lived it myself. 

And maybe you have too:

✨ The honeymoon stage, where everything feels limitless.

 ✨ The cracks that appear when nothing feels like enough.

 ✨ The toxic phase that SO MANY people are stuck in. 

 ✨ And finally, the sweet spot... which often comes AFTER a break-up. 

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering…

"Why isn't this working for me?"

"Was I better off before?"

"I never have/do enough"

 …then this one is going to land.

🎧 Listen in here → 

I’d love to know — which stage do you think you’re in? Hit reply and tell me, or share your takeaways on your Stories and tag me (@iambreannamay) so I can cheer you on.

Because here’s the reminder we all need sometimes:

You were never broken. You don't need fixing. And anyone who says they can "fix you" is a red toxic flag. Like many of our exes...stay the fck away   

Big love,

Breanna x

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.

🎧 Listen here →  

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.

🎧 Listen now to The Mind School Podcast and be part of the moment I’ll remember for the rest of my life.

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.

And if it lands, if it makes you feel less alone, if you see yourself in my words, please share it. Someone out there needs to know they’re not the only one.

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.

🎧 Listen to the full episode here →  

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!).
