The RAISE Podcast

Life Lately: Our Wellness Essentials, Nourishing Rituals & Finding Our Way Back

This week on The RAISE Podcast, we're joined by Laney Crowell, founder of cult-favourite beauty brand Saie, for a conversation about entrepreneurship, clean beauty, motherhood and what it means to create success on your own terms.

From building a community-led beauty brand that went on to reach $100 million in sales, Laney shares the story behind Saie, why she believes makeup should be as good for your skin as your skincare, and how listening to women became the foundation of her business.

But beyond the beauty industry, we explore something much deeper: finding the confidence to take up space, recognising your own worth, navigating mum guilt while building a business, and learning that saying no can be one of the most powerful things you do.

We also get into Laney's personal wellness rituals, her morning routine, favourite beauty products, and the habits that help her feel her best while juggling business and motherhood.

An inspiring conversation about trusting your vision, building something you believe in and becoming the woman capable of holding the life you're creating.

This week we're joined by author and founder Poppy Jamie for a fascinating conversation about intuition, spirituality and rediscovering the magic in everyday life.

Following years immersed in psychology, neuroscience and the science of happiness, Poppy shares why she felt drawn back to ancient wisdom, spirituality and the things in life that we can't always explain.

We explore what it really means to trust your intuition, the power of synchronicities, why Poppy challenges the conventional approach to manifestation and how rituals, journaling and reconnecting with nature can help us live more intentionally.

Poppy also opens up about her deeply personal experiences of pregnancy loss, fertility challenges and learning to surrender when life doesn't unfold as expected. She shares how these experiences have shaped her understanding of trust, grief and the unknown.

From the relationship between science and spirituality to the importance of following our own desires rather than society's expectations, this is a thought-provoking conversation about finding meaning, trusting ourselves and making space for a little more magic in our lives.

This week we're joined by Izzy Utterson for a conversation about what a real glow up actually looks like and why it goes so much deeper than how we look.

Izzy shares her own journey from struggling with body image, psoriasis and self-destructive habits to completely changing the way she approached her health, mindset and life. We talk about why wanting to change isn't always enough, how to work with your brain rather than against it, neuroplasticity, breaking old habits and why sustainable change rarely happens overnight.

We also dive into self-talk, identity, vision boards, creating habits that actually fit your life, protecting your sleep, embracing boredom, movement and the small daily behaviours that help reinforce the person you want to become.

Izzy also speaks incredibly openly about losing her mum following her Alzheimer's diagnosis, navigating grief and how that experience has completely changed her perspective on life, time and taking care of herself.

A really honest conversation about growth, grief, habits and learning to become the best version of yourself… from the inside out.

This week we're joined by functional health practitioner Mark Dini for a fascinating conversation

about whether we've started to overcomplicate wellness.

After experiencing his own significant health challenges, Mark's work evolved from personal

training and nutrition into functional health, blood testing, peptides, circadian health and what he

describes as quantum biology.

We talk about the foundations Mark believes are often overlooked - getting outside first thing in the

morning, natural light, grounding, circadian rhythms and creating an environment that better

supports our biology, and why he believes these should come before adding endless supplements

and wellness protocols.

We also get into functional testing, habit change, peptides and Mark's own daily non-negotiables, as

well as why sometimes doing the simple things consistently can be harder than buying the next

quick fix.

A really interesting conversation about stripping wellness back, understanding your own body and

doing the common things uncommonly well.

In this deeply personal episode, Coral and Natalie share an update on what has been an incredibly difficult few weeks for their family.

For those who may not know, Natalie’s husband and Coral’s brother, Gus, is currently on critical life support following a double lung transplant. Together, they reflect on the day Gus was collected for transplant, the extraordinary process of receiving two new lungs and the reality of navigating the uncertainty of his condition in the weeks that followed.

Coral, Natalie and their family would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming kindness, love and support they have received during this time. It has meant more than they can put into words.

Just a note to say this episode was recorded three weeks ago and the situation has continued to evolve since this conversation was recorded.

What would happen if you started treating your life with the same intention, vision and strategy you’d use to run a business?

This week, we’re joined by entrepreneur and author Hermione Olivia to explore what it really means to become the CEO of your own life.

We talk about getting clear on what you actually want, creating a vision that feels true to you and building the habits and systems that help turn that vision into reality. Hermione shares why doing more isn’t always the answer, how to recognise when it’s time to pivot, and why taking ownership of where your time and energy go can completely change the way you experience your life.

We also dive into ambition, motherhood, productivity, identity, knowing when to say no, and the difference between a life that looks successful from the outside and one that actually feels good to live.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, living on autopilot or simply questioning what you want your next chapter to look like, this conversation is an invitation to get intentional and start creating a life that feels like yours.

This week we're joined by Holly King, founder of Sweet Bee Organics, for a heartfelt conversation about children's health, magnesium, clean ingredients, motherhood and what it really takes to build a purpose-led wellness brand.

Holly shares the remarkable story behind Sweet Bee Organics—from making natural sunscreen in her kitchen to building an internationally recognised wellness company rooted in transparency and quality. She also opens up about her cervical cancer diagnosis, how it changed her outlook on life, and why it strengthened her belief in creating products she truly believes in.

Together, we explore why magnesium has become one of the most talked-about nutrients in wellness, the role of medicinal mushrooms, how to spot quality ingredients, and the importance of supporting children's health in a modern world.

We also discuss parenting through challenging seasons, building a business with integrity, and the simple daily habits Holly relies on to support her own wellbeing.

This week we're joined by liver health expert and founder of Deliverance, Siggi Clavien, for a fascinating conversation about one of the most overlooked organs in the body.

While we often hear about gut health, hormones and metabolism, the liver quietly performs over 500 vital functions every single day—from balancing hormones and supporting energy production to regulating blood sugar, detoxification and even skin health. Yet millions of people are living with poor liver health without ever realising it.

Together, we explore why liver disease is rising so rapidly, the impact of modern toxins, plastics and ultra-processed foods, how stress affects the body, and why preventative health has never been more important.

We also discuss mould, microplastics, wearable technology, sleep, meditation, hormone health, fatty liver, and the simple lifestyle habits Siggi believes can make the biggest difference to long-term wellbeing.

What would you do if your life changed overnight?

This week we're joined by our friend and manager, Katie Wallwork, as she shares her deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old.

From discovering a lump while fastening her seatbelt to navigating appointments, seeking second opinions and rebuilding her health, Katie opens up about one of the most challenging seasons of her life.

Katie also shares the daily practices, research and mindset shifts that helped her navigate treatment, alongside honest conversations about environmental health, inflammation, mould exposure, supplements, nutrition and taking an active role in your own wellbeing.

Whether you're navigating your own health journey, supporting someone you love or simply want to feel more empowered in your healthcare decisions, this episode is filled with compassion, curiosity and hope.
