Hi my loves, today’s episode is for anyone who’s been moving through a big life shift, the kind that cracks you open, rewrites your identity and asks you to meet yourself on a deeper level than ever before. ✨

I’m joined by the radiant Brigette Panetta, whose six-year journey through adversity is a powerful reminder that our triggers, patterns and reactions are invitations to evolve.

We explore the emotional breadcrumbs that lead you back to yourself, like:

• losing everything and learning how to trust yourself again
• the real meaning of “inner child work” (and why your triggers are pure gold)
• letting go of old identities (hello good girl, people pleaser, perfectionist we see you!)
• using intuition before you know what it sounds like (the sway test + ring test!!)
  motherhood as the biggest mirror… and the biggest opening
  rebuilding sovereignty, emotionally, spiritually, and financially

This episode is honest, grounding, vulnerable and wildly empowering.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from yourself, unsure of your next step, or stuck in old patterns you can’t quite shift this conversation will feel like someone finally handing you the tools to come home to yourself again.

And truly… the way Bridget reframes hardship, identity and self-love is potent and so worth sitting with.

Enjoy this one, my darlings. 🤎✨

What if the real secret to healing wasn’t in your mind, but in your frequency?

This week, I sit down with Ange Monitto, sound healer and founder of Sound of Soma, to talk about how sound and vibration can rewire the body, regulate the nervous system, and bring us back into harmony, literally.

We go deep into the science and soul of frequency healing, from how sound travels through your energy field to the wild truth about how Wi-Fi, heavy metals, and even your daily stressors mess with your vibration. Ange breaks down the energetic anatomy of healing (your aura, chakras, and subconscious field included), and how intention turns sound into medicine.

We also explore his own healing journey, from chronic illness and medical dead ends to finding peace, purpose, and the tools to help others rise out of survival mode.

If you’ve ever felt the shift from chaos to calm in a sound bath or sensed that there’s more to energy than meets the eye, this episode will hit different. It’s grounding, expansive, and proof that you can’t think your way out of stress, you have to feel your way back into alignment.

Sending you my love, Claire xx

Today we sit down with studio owner, mentor, and all-round elite human Shahnae Cutajar the queen behind Grind Pilates Co.

We go there: From injury and redirection to a lockdown garage-turned-studio, family-built fit-outs (hi Dad!), the mother daughter partnership that powers it all, and the unseen grind behind launching two Melbourne studios, Shahnae’s story is pure determination in motion.

She also opens up about using mood as a business strategy (think gritty not pretty pilates), inviting more men into the Pilates space, mentoring the next wave of instructors, and why passion will always outweigh payday.

If you’ve been craving proof that discipline can feel like devotion this one will light a fire under your glutes. Press play, my angels and enjoy. 💫

Sound isn’t just something we hear, it’s a nutrient the body drinks.

Today I’m joined by the ever-glowing Tanya Ali-jani (aka Melbourne’s Sound Healing Queen) for a conversation that’s equal parts science, soul, and straight talk.

We go there, from childhood conditioning and losing our essence, to remembering who we are through resonance, breath, and prayer. Tanya opens up about a life-altering meditation experience (think spontaneous Kundalini-style awakening), the difference between sound journeys and true sound healing, and why facilitator integrity and energetic hygiene matter more than the instruments themselves.

We geek out on entrainment and resonance (how sound shifts brainwaves and tunes the nervous system from fight-or-flight into deep rest), unpack “luck” vs. magnetism, and talk about becoming a clear vessel, not a performer in service to the room.

If you’ve been craving calm, clarity, or a permission slip to choose the life that costs you your old one… this one’s church. ✨🤎

Hit follow, share with a friend who needs a deep exhale, and check the show notes for Tanya’s classes and Riise membership.

I’m just going to say it, manifestation is confusing AF.

When in reality, it’s simply design and renovation dressed up in woo-woo packaging. In this episode I'm putting my interior designer hat on to flip the script on the woo woo to reveal the most grounded, practical way to call in what you want: the Design Phase (vision, mood, feeling) and the Renovation Phase (demolition, boundaries, habits, courage).

No more wishing on a star and waiting. This is how you build a life you want, brick by intentional brick.

You’ll hear:

💭 Why manifestation feels confusing (and how to make it crystal clear)

💥 The exact moment we all hit the “WTF have I done?!” panic button and how to move through it

🌙 How to “naively dream” again without clipping your own wings

🧭 The question that unlocks momentum faster than “What do you want?”

🌱 Why progress is slow at first… until it happens all at once

If the word manifestation has ever left you confused or rolling your eyes but you know you’re ready for a life that actually feels good, this episode is the reframe you've been waiting for.

It’s honest. It’s doable. It’s the permission slip to start your own life reno. 🛠️✨

Press play and step into the role of designer of your life.

With love Claire xx

Hi my loves, today’s episode is a cosmic compass home to yourself. ✨
I’m joined by the luminous Brooke Fitzgerald @guidedbybrooke⁠ a psychic astrologer, tarot reader and all-round spiritual girlie. We explore how to use astrology as a map to tell you what your soul came here to do, what it really means to work with guides and ancestors, and what October energy has in store for us.

Inside, we chat:
• Sun, Moon & Rising 101 — the clearest breakdown you’ll hear (and why your rising isn’t a “mask”)
• How Brooke connects with spirits — from ancestral conversations at the table to the physical “tells” she experiences, plus her go-to rituals for cleansing and protection
• October energy — Libra season’s flirty, social fun meeting Mars-in-Scorpio’s spicy, deep soul bonds depth (aka: get ready for connections that go beyond the surface)
• Planetary days routine — aligning your week with each planet’s energy, from Moon-day’s reflection to Sunday’s reset in nature

If you’ve been craving confirmation that you’re on the right path, this is for you, with a little cosmic spice sprinkled in. 💫

Hi my loves, today’s episode is a warm hug for your hormones, gut, skin and sanity ✨

I’m joined by my darling friend Tyra McNeill — a magnetic, straight-talking holistic health coach who works 1:1 with women using real testing (bloods, stool, breath… the works) to build simple, sustainable protocols that actually make you feel good again. We unpack the messy middle no one posts about: coming off the pill, bloating and breakouts, the “all-or-nothing” trap, stress you can’t see (hello environment + lifestyle), and why being “consistently good beats occasionally perfect.”

Inside, we chat:

• The tiny habit that resets your hormones daily (yes, it’s free and takes 2 minutes)

• Low-tox living without the overwhelm (what to ditch first, and why “fragrance” is a red flag)

• Sun, sea and haplotypes , how your lineage can influence where your body thrives (yes my jaw was on the floor with this one too!)

• Quitting the hamster wheel: Tyra’s leap from burnout to better health (and more joy)

If you’ve been feeling a little “off” but can’t name why, this convo is a step in the right direction, with a sprinkling of doable positive shifts thrown in for good measure. 💫

We’re shaking off winter’s heaviness and stepping into the fresh, expansive energy of spring. In this episode, clairvoyant artist and mentor Sarah-Jayne Kerr returns to the podcast to share her wisdom on aligning with the new season and what Virgo season has to teach us about clarity, balance, and renewal. 🌸

Together, we dive into:

​ How Virgo season helps us spring-clean not just our homes, but our minds, routines, and energy

​ Loosening the grip on perfectionism

​ A beautiful reminder that we have free will to play and co-create a life we love

​ A powerful 3-card clairvoyant collective reading with guidance on what to release, embrace, and call in this season

This conversation is equal parts practical and magical, blending seasonal rituals, spiritual insights, and real talk about perfectionism, control, and learning to let go.

If you’ve been feeling stagnant, stuck in old stories, or ready for a fresh start, this episode will remind you that your inner and outer worlds are mirrors… and it’s time to create space for what’s ready to bloom.

Here’s the truth, most people go on retreat, feel incredible for a week… and then let the magic fade the second they get home. I’m not okay with that!

So, whether you’ve been on countless retreats, are dreaming of your first, or just need a fresh retreat moment in your everyday, these lessons will help you retreat yourself, no passport required.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 6 retreat lessons that have completely changed how I live, work, and show up for myself, and how you can start using them today.

I discuss:

-Why setting a sacred vibe can shift your whole day 🌸

-How slowing down can actually make you more magnetic ✨

-Why your nervous system runs the show (and how to regulate it)🧘‍♀️

-The surprising truth about connection that changes everything 🤝

-How following your joy opens doors you didn’t know existed 🎉

-The key to clarity when you feel stuck or directionless 🌿

If you’ve been feeling stuck, restless, or disconnected from your spark, these are the exact tools I use to get clarity fast, feel more like me, and keep that retreat feeling alive long after the suitcases are unpacked.

The life you want gets a whole lot clearer once you reconnect and retreat yourself. ✨

Claire xx
