  • The Lost Art of Human Connection (And How to Get It Back) with Simone Heng

    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!).

  • The Shadow Work I Didn’t See Coming (It Involved Mel Robbins 🙃)

    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,

    B x


    PS: If you’ve ever hated someone a little bit… and then realised they’re actually your biggest expander?


    This ep is your permission slip to explore the gnarly parts of your mind.Because it’s never just about them. 👀 Listen now → The Mind School Podcast

  • The Truth Most Coaches Won’t Tell You. Shadow Work with Felicity Morgan

    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.


    🎧 Listen now → The Truth Most Coaches Won’t Tell You. Shadow Work with Felicity Morgan


    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.

    See you inside the episode.

  • To the Woman Who Thought She’d Be "Further" by Now

    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.

     ➡️ “Why You’re Not Behind (Even If It Feels Like It)”

    You’re not late.

     You’re just alive.

     And the timeline?

     It was never real to begin with.

  • The Hidden Cost of Discipline for High Achievers & Why I Took a Break

    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.

  • My Inner Critic is Bein a Lil Biiiish: Recording Anyway.

    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.

  • The Rebrand That Broke Me Open: Fertility, my future kids, and my mission...

    Hey there,

    I’ve been in CEO mode. Launch mode. Keep-it-moving mode.

    But under the surface… something has cracked open.

     

    In this week’s podcast, I’m sharing:

    • The painful (and surprising) truth I uncovered about my deepest why
    • How my fertility journey shaped the rebrand
    • Why I’m done choosing between ambition or softness
    • And the big questions I asked to come home to myself (and this business)

    This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a reclamation.

    Of the creative. The maternal. The messy middle. The both/and.

     

    If you’ve ever found yourself evolving in ways that don’t fit the algorithm… this one's for you.

    👉 The cringey way to "handle objections"

    Spoiler:

  • 5 Subtle Ways You're REPELLING your DREAM clients

    Hey,

    Let’s talk about something no one wants to admit...

    You’re showing up.
    You’re posting content.
    You’re giving value.
    And yet...clients still aren’t saying yes.
    Or worse…
    You're attracting people who ghost you, drain you, or don’t get results.
    I know how frustrating that feels.

    Here’s the savage truth:

    👉 You might be unconsciously repelling your dream clients.

    And it’s not because you’re not good at what you do.

     It’s because you haven’t clarified who you are as a coach & leader.


    When you’re not clear on your own style, strengths, and leadership energy…

    Your content feels off.

    Your message lacks magnetism.

    And your dream clients can’t see themselves in your world, even if they want to.

    I break it all down in this week’s episode of The Mind School Podcast:

     🎙️ Ep 232: Subtle Ways You’re REPELLING Your DREAM Clients

    Listen now >>  

    Inside, we unpack:


    🚫 The reason mimicking your mentor is backfiring
    🚫 Why “professional” posts are killing your power
    🚫 The surprisingly common mistake of selling your methods instead of your magic
    🚫 And the big one… why you might be building a business model that was never meant for you

    ✨ PLUS: I walk you through how to flip the script and start attracting clients who light you up. The ones who say YES with no convincing, no chasing, and no explaining required.


    🔍 Want to know where you stand?
