In this conversation, I sit down with Marina Savic-Baines - Embodiment & Nervous System Alchemist, founder of Nervous System Energetics™, and guest facilitator at The Arabian Nights Retreat - for a raw, real conversation about her story, her work, and why breath might be the most powerful bridge we have.

We talk about Marina's upbringing in Serbia through war, scarcity and isolation - and the bathroom-floor moment that changed the trajectory of her entire life.

We go deep into conscious connected breathwork: what it actually is, why it's ancient rather than new, and how it can access a layer of consciousness the thinking mind can't reach alone.

And we talk about why getting out of your head and into your heart isn't just personal work - it's collective work.

This conversation is also a window into what's waiting for you at The Arabian Nights Retreat - three days, off-grid in the Dubai desert, for high-conscious founders, leaders and investors ready to access a higher state of consciousness and embodiment. Marina returns as a guest facilitator this November, guiding breathwork and integration inside the retreat itself.

In this episode, you'll hear:

✨ Marina's story: growing up through war and instability in Serbia

✨ The bathroom-floor question that changed everything

✨ Why breath is medicine — and the bridge between body, mind and spirit

✨ Conscious connected breathwork explained

✨ Why "take, take, take" energy makes us sick - individually and collectively

What if the life that looks perfect from the outside doesn’t actually feel right on the inside?

In this deeply honest conversation, I’m joined by Ev, a coach, business owner, mum of four, and a woman who has built her life around one powerful belief:

Change starts with choice.

Ev and I connected instantly, and over the past year our relationship has evolved from friendship to client, coach, confidante and fellow woman on a mission. In this conversation, we go far beyond business and success and into the deeper work of listening to yourself, trusting your intuition and having the courage to make choices that are aligned with who you truly are.

Ev shares the story behind her own transformation — including the moment she realised that having an abundant life on paper didn't necessarily mean she felt fulfilled, her decision to leave a marriage and business without knowing exactly what would come next, and the life experiences that shaped her fierce belief that we are never truly helpless or hopeless.

We explore what happens when we stop pushing down the feelings and inner knowing that we've been trying to ignore — and what becomes possible when we finally let them rise to the surface.

• Why having a “good life” doesn't always mean you feel happy, fulfilled or alive
• The danger of living in the gratitude prison — feeling guilty for wanting more when everything looks great externally
• Why achieving your goals won't necessarily create the feeling you're hoping for
• The difference between chasing happiness and creating from a place of inner alignment
• How the “I'll be happy when…” mindset keeps us stuck
• Ev's powerful beach ball analogy for understanding suppressed emotions and intuition
• Why your intuition can be thought of as a muscle — and how to strengthen it
• The impact of childhood beliefs, conditioning and the “shoulds” we inherit
• How to question who actually decided the rules you're living by
• Breaking cycles of negativity and limiting beliefs
• What radical responsibility really looks like
• Why we always have a choice in how we respond, even when we can't control what happens to us
• The relationship between spirituality, intuition, success and authentic living
• Why happiness and fulfilment aren't destinations at the end of your goals
• How trusting yourself can transform your relationships, business and entire experience of life

There is so much gold in this conversation, particularly for the woman who has achieved a lot, looks like she has it all together, but knows somewhere deep inside that there is more available to her.

You don't need another strategy.

You might need to listen to yourself.

Because sometimes the biggest change doesn't start with a plan.

It starts with a choice.

Episode 4 | The Self Sourced Podcast with Claire Messett

What if the reason you're not yet living the life you've been dreaming of has nothing to do with strategy, skills, or effort — but everything to do with who you believe yourself to be?

Claire Messett is an Identity Alchemist and Neuropsychotherapist who works with high-achieving women to permanently rewire the unconscious patterns quietly running their lives. Her approach goes deeper than mindset work or somatic healing — straight to the root, in the cerebellum, where protection patterns are formed before the body is ever activated.

The result? Clients don't just feel better. They become someone new.

Claire once had a high school teacher tell her she was too shy even for university. She went on to spend a year in the Kalahari Desert researching meerkats for Cambridge, live four months in Antarctica without heat or electricity, and lead expeditions to the Galápagos Islands.

Not because she pushed through the shyness. Because she recoded it.

That personal experience — combined with years of advanced neuropsychotherapy training — became the foundation of her Inner Alchemy Framework™: a three-phase process that creates deep, permanent identity-level change from the inside out.

• The cerebellum and stuck patterns — why lasting change must happen at the brain stem, before the body is activated, and why most healing approaches miss this
• The Inner Alchemy Framework™ — The Archaeologist, The Chrysalis, and The Architect: three phases that shift identity at a neurological level
• Freedom in one or two sessions — how lifelong trauma responses can be permanently cleared without retelling the story or using coping strategies ever again
• Why high-achieving women still feel stuck — the invisible protection patterns keeping successful women overthinking, playing small, and staying "safe"
• Manifestation and synchronicity — Claire's wild personal stories: the Kalahari, Antarctica, the Galápagos, and the treehouse she put on her vision board two years before she lived in it

Identity as the only real strategy — when your internal identity matches the life you're stepping into, you stop forcing results. Life starts to respond.

"Follow the synchronicities in life. They are the universal breadcrumbs and energetic signposts that are incredibly significant in creating the life a big part of you knows you are meant for."

This is the inaugural episode of The Self Sourced Podcast. And it begins exactly where it needs to: with the question that changes everything. either. How deep are you willing to go?

Not into strategy. Not into another framework. Not into the next level of achievement.

But into the raw, untamed truth of your soul. Into the woman beneath the titles, the roles, the performance. Into the place where you stop asking permission and start remembering power.

Being Self Sourced isn't a destination. It's a devotion. A daily choice to live untethered from the conditioning, the comparison, the constant need to prove. It's the willingness to be seen in your fullness — messy, magnetic, and completely sovereign.

This episode is an invitation. To stop performing. To stop shrinking. To stop waiting for the world to give you permission to be who you already are.

Being Self Sourced means your power doesn't come from external validation, market trends, or someone else's blueprint.

It comes from you . From the deep well of wisdom that lives in your body. From the intuitive knowing that whispers before logic arrives. From the soul truth that doesn't need to be explained — only expressed.

It means you trust yourself more than you trust the noise. You lead from your inner authority. You build from your values, not someone else's version of success.

And most radically — you give yourself permission to be untethered. Untethered from the need to fit in. Untethered from the old stories of who you were supposed to be. Untethered from the belief that you have to sacrifice your soul to build your empire.

Because the truth is: the sacrifice was never required.

What it really means to be Self Sourced — and why it's the most powerful foundation you can build your life and business upon

The cost of living tethered — to other people's expectations, to outdated versions of yourself, to the belief that you need to prove your worth

How deep you're willing to go — into your soul's truth, into your body's wisdom, into the parts of you that have been silenced or suppressed

The difference between achieving and embodying — why external success means nothing if you're disconnected from who you are

What it looks like to lead untethered — in your business, your relationships, your motherhood, your life

The Self Sourced Codes™ — the living principles that guide visionary women to build Soul Rich Empires without burning out

Why being untethered is feminine power — and how it creates space for miracles, magnetism, and manifestation

The permission you've been waiting for — and why no one else can give it to you.

She doesn't need to know the how. She trusts the call.

She doesn't perform her power. She embodies it.

She doesn't shrink to make others comfortable. She expands into her truth and invites others to do the same.

She doesn't choose between the empire and the life. She builds both — because she refuses to believe the lie that she can't have it all.

She is Self Sourced. Sovereign. Soul-led. And she knows that her deepest truth is her greatest asset.

This is what it means to be untethered. Not reckless. Not disconnected. But free . Free to build, to love, to lead, to live — from the inside out.

This is just the beginning. Welcome to The Self Sourced Podcast.

What if everything you've built — the career, the clinic, the calling — was never really about you? Prab Kaur has spent over 20 years in medicine. Operating on hearts. Sitting with people in their most critical moments. Holding the line between life and what comes after.

She didn't choose that path by accident. And when it was time to leave it — to build something new, something that felt terrifying and uncertain and completely unplanned — she didn't do that alone either.

This is a conversation about what happens when you stop asking how and start trusting who.

From the ICU to the aesthetics clinic. From the operating theatre to the sacred work of helping women feel seen in their own skin. From the darkest season of her personal life to the moment she drove to Scotland not knowing why — and came back knowing it was time to heal. God's hand is in all of it.

The belief that she is infinitely supported. That the right doors open at the right time. That the opportunities, the people, the pivots — none of it is coincidence.

Prab's work isn't just clinical. It's devotional. Every patient she sees, every layer she helps someone unravel — it's an act of service. A living out of the thing she believes she was put here to do. And that is what makes Resurface different.

Doing it scared — how Prab said yes to this podcast not knowing how, completely out of her comfort zone, trusting that if the door opened, she was meant to walk through i

The science of inflammaging — why chronic stress and gut dysfunction are silently accelerating how fast you age, and what to actually do about it

Regenerative aesthetics — the difference between masking ageing and reversing it at a cellular level, from the inside out

What 20 years in the NHS taught her about the body's extraordinary capacity to repair and heal itself

The deeper meaning of RESURFACE — it's not just about skin. It's about being seen. All of you. Every layer. The parts you've hidden, the parts that have hurt, the parts that are still becoming.

The gut health conversation nobody's having — why your skin, your mood, your inflammation and your ageing all start in the same place

Building from realignment — what changed when Prab stopped pushing and started being led

Prab Kaur is an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, Independent Nurse Prescriber, and founder of Resurface Aesthetics — built on one belief: that lasting results only come when you treat the whole person.

Her clinical background spans over 20 years in cardiothoracic surgery and intensive care medicine. She brings that same precision and depth into regenerative aesthetics — working at a cellular level, combining functional medicine with advanced skin science to stimulate the body's own capacity to repair.

But underneath the clinical expertise is something deeper.

A woman who has walked through real pain. Who built from the rubble of hard seasons. Who found her way back to herself — and now creates that space for others. Her work is her worship.

"I struggled to find a safe place when I needed it. I was medically fit and healthy — but I was not okay. So I built the place I wish I'd had."

That's not a brand strategy. That's a calling.

What if the most powerful thing you could do in business wasn't hustle harder — but remember who you actually are?

Anna Kitney has spent 18 years as one of the most sought-after healers and instructors in the Theta Healing world. Working with tens of thousands of people. Teaching across continents. Building a multi-million dollar practice rooted in transformation.

But somewhere along the way, she started to see the cracks. The victim consciousness that kept people looping. The spiritual performance that turned healing into theater. The exhaustion of women trying to build empires like men — and burning out their biology in the process.

So she walked away from what she'd built. And stepped into something far more radical.

This is a conversation about what happens when you stop fixing problems and start activating possibility. When you stop identifying as broken and start remembering you are God consciousness in a body. When leading from soul isn't a strategy — it's the only way forward.

From graphic designer and artist to energy healer. From healer to visionary business coach. From teaching modalities to channeling divine truth.

Anna's evolution wasn't planned. It was called forth.

After years of witnessing patterns in the healing industry that didn't sit right — the endless digging into trauma, the retelling of wounds, the identity locked in "I'm the victim" — she began to teach differently.

She started asking: What if we're not broken? What if there's nothing to fix?

And that question opened the door to the God Zone — the fourth level of consciousness where instant manifestation, spontaneous healing, and quantum shifts become the norm. Not because you worked harder. But because you remembered the truth of who you are.

• The ripple effect of mentorship — how Anna's work with Natasha Rockstrom (who went from $99 healing sessions to $150 million deals) created a legacy that continues through her clients, including Frankie's own quantum leap transformation
• God consciousness explained — what it actually means to live as divine expression in human form, and why the illusion of separation is the root of all suffering
• The four levels of consciousness — from victim mentality to hustle culture to surrender... and finally, the God Zone, where you operate as creator, not reactor
• Why the healing industry keeps people stuck — the danger of spiritual performance, retelling trauma, and turning healing into effort instead of expansion
• The possibility paradigm — how shifting from "problems to fix" to "opportunities to activate" changes your frequency, your nervous system, and your entire reality
• Feminine leadership without the burnout — why trying to build like men leads to endometriosis, hair loss, and exhaustion... and what it looks like to lead from soul instead
• Instant manifestation and spontaneous healing — the real results Anna's clients experience when they step into the God Zone: money, clients, relationships, pregnancies, and miracles upon miracles
• The karmic wheel trap — why constantly healing past lives keeps you locked in the matrix, and how to break free into true sovereignty
• How Anna channels her teachings — often receiving the lessons as she's teaching them, trusting the divine intelligence moving through her

Anna Kitney is a visionary spiritual business coach, former Theta Healing Master and Instructor, and the guide for leaders who are ready to stop performing and start being .

For 18 years, she devoted herself to the Theta Healing mission — teaching thousands of students worldwide, working with 10,000+ clients, and building a thriving multi-million dollar healing practice.

But she's a polymath at heart. A graphic designer. A dressmaker. A jewelry maker. A singer. A teacher. A mother. A lover. An artist who sees the world through multiple lenses and expresses God consciousness through every one of them.

Her true work began when she started to see the patterns that kept people stuck — the victim loops, the spiritual theatre, the exhaustion of trying to heal their way into wholeness. She realised: we're not broken. We don't need fixing.

That realisation birthed her current body of work — teaching visionary leaders to step into the God Zone , where they operate as creators, not reactors. Where manifestation is instant. Where healing is spontaneous. Where business, love, and life flow from soul, not strategy.

Anna's work is not about learning another modality. It's about remembering who you are. And leading from that truth in every area of life.

"When you're in the God Zone, you recognise that actually there is no time. The multiverse and the field of pure potentiality — it's all happening in the now moment. And in that moment, from pure consciousness, from pure divinity — magic occurs."

This isn't theory. This is how Anna lives. How she leads. How she creates miracles for herself and her clients.
