What if every failure was just success in its first form?

In this episode, I’m expanding on a card from the Embodied Mantras deck — and the truth it revealed:

Failure is never final. It’s feedback. It’s redirection. It’s expansion in progress.

We’ll explore how your hardest moments are often the portal to the very thing you’re calling in.

Because even when you feel off track — you’re still on path.

And that thing that didn’t work out? It might just be the setup for everything you truly want.

This week we are talking about letters no one sees and the power of forgiveness. I share on why writing letters, you'll never send, to the people you hold resentment towards or feel you were wrong done by, are one of the top ways you can release it from your body. I also talk about the power of forgiveness and not in the way you think. There are times the situation is unforgiveable, and forgiveness plays a different role.

If you've experienced trauma or are a mum with a child with additional needs, you're going to want to listen to this episode. We deep dive into the world of functional neurology with our amazing guest Jo Hand. I was a curious cat asking her all the questions on how she assesses what needs correcting from physical, mental, emotional trauma; what methods she uses; how to go about becoming a practitioner in functional neurology, how we can help our children with additional needs via functional neurology and much more. She gives real life examples of how functional neurology helps in daily life.

I'm a Functional Neuro health practitioner, Kinesiologist, and Clinical Nutritionist, and I'm super passionate about helping you unlock your best self!

What's truly incredible is that I discovered all these modalities because they helped me personally in profound ways...Functional Neurology being at the pinnacle for me.

As we close out 2025 — a year marked by endings, shifts, and deep internal change — I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own evolution.

From letting go of coaching and mentoring, to pouring my energy into Embodied Mantras, to watching The Recovery Room Podcast grow into its own presence... this year has been a portal.

In this episode, I reflect on what the year of the snake and a 9-year in numerology revealed — and how it shaped what’s coming in 2026. There’s a new energy arriving, and we’re not just preparing for it — we’re walking into it embodied.

We’ve all felt the sting of “no” in relationships, opportunities, and moments we thought would change everything. But what if rejection isn’t proof you're lacking… what if it’s guidance?

In this episode, we unpack the powerful reframe that turns rejection into redirection, helping you see closed doors as protection, not proof of failure. You’ll learn how to spot when a “no” is actually making space for something better, and how to release the self-blame that keeps you stuck.

Inside 7 Days to a Freer You, we dive even deeper into these mindset shifts, helping you practice them in real time so you can stop taking every “no” personally and start using them as signposts toward what’s truly meant for you. We start August 21 JOIN HERE

If you’ve ever tried to make a change whether it’s around food, boundaries, or breaking people-pleasing patterns and found yourself slipping back into old habits, there’s one core piece you might be missing: self-trust.

As recovering people pleasers, it’s easy to confuse care with control. We try to manage other people’s emotions, keep the peace, and take on the weight of their responses, all while abandoning our own.

In this episode, we explore:

What’s in your control: your beliefs, behaviours, internal landscape

What’s not: other people’s emotions, expectations, and projections

How emotional responsibility gets passed from parent to child (without anyone realising)

The cost of internalising someone else’s unprocessed pain

And how we start breaking the pattern

This is the work of coming home to you.

Of letting go of guilt.

Of choosing peace over people pleasing.
