Some conversations feel less like a podcast… and more like the kind of late-night truth-telling that happens at 1am when people stop pretending.

This is one of those conversations - one of the most intimate, fascinating and emotional conversations we’ve had on The Stronger Stuff Show so far.

Hunter Moore is a professional confidante, relationship counsellor, and clinical hypnotherapist who has spent decades helping people untangle the hidden patterns quietly running their relationships, sex lives, fears, attraction and emotional worlds.

And honestly?

Within minutes we were talking about porn, marriage, emotional triggers, shame, intimacy, long-term love, inner children, and why so many people still repeat the same destructive relationship patterns over and over again.

At times we laugh.
At times Hunter gets emotional.
At times I think you may feel uncomfortably seen.

And honestly?

That’s what makes this conversation so powerful.

Because underneath all the sex, psychology and relationship talk, this episode is really about something much bigger:

Why we become who we become.
Why we hide.
Why we repeat patterns.
And what happens when we finally start telling ourselves the truth.

Hunter has this rare ability to make people feel completely safe while talking about the things most people usually hide.

There’s something incredibly refreshing about hearing women openly talk about sex, relationships and emotional honesty without shame wrapped around it.

And according to Hunter there are often far more people “in the room” during sex than we realize.

Not just you and your partner…

but your heartbreaks.
Your upbringing.
Your shame.
Your exes.
Your conditioning.
Your fears.
Your old survival patterns.

And she talks about all of this with warmth, humor, intelligence and zero judgement.

It feels human.

Messy.
Funny.
Emotionally honest.
Unexpectedly freeing.

We talk about:

• porn and modern relationships
• sex and intimacy
• emotional triggers and attraction
• hypnosis and the subconscious mind
• long-term partnership
• childhood conditioning
• why we sabotage closeness
• emotional survival patterns
• boundaries
• and the complicated, beautiful chaos of being human

The kind of conversations that usually happen backstage, around kitchen tables or over wine with people you trust.

Raw, entertaining and emotionally honest conversations about the messy, chaotic, beautiful experience of being human.

Hosted by musician, storyteller and creative force Minna.

This episode is about creativity, reinvention, visibility and what happens when you stop shrinking yourself to fit other people’s expectations.

Are you sick and tired of waiting for everything, including you, to be “perfect” before you begin?

This week on Stronger Sunday Stories, I’m talking honestly about what launching The Stronger Stuff Show has actually brought up for me emotionally, creatively and personally… and why episode 10 feels like a turning point.

Because somewhere along the way, while building this podcast, I realized I’d accidentally started tempering myself inside my own show.

Trying to be calmer. More polished. More “respectable.”

Like I was slowly turning myself into some sort of serious podcast woman I didn’t even recognize.

Meanwhile in real life?

I’m moving country, homeschooling two teenage boys, relaunching my music career at 53, looking for a new home in London… and trying to learn social media without accidentally sticking Spotify links across my own face in Instagram Stories.

And honestly?

The hardest part of launching this show hasn’t been the interviews, the editing, the posting or the tech.

It’s been being seen.

Not hiding anymore.

Not endlessly planning and waiting until I feel ready, look better, know more or have everything figured out.

Actually putting myself out there publicly in real time.

Messily. Imperfectly. As myself.

And what’s surprised me most is this:

The more I share… the freer I feel.

Not fearless.

Just less interested in letting fear stop me.

Because I think a lot of women quietly spend years trying to become:
appropriate,
palatable,
professional,
less emotional,
less loud,
less themselves.

And I'm realizing that part of this journey for me has been seeing that being myself actually IS getting it right.

Because I believe our Stronger Stuff is about being fully alive as ourselves.

The chaos.
The humor.
The heartbreak.
The ambition.
The stories.
The music.
The fear.
The courage to keep going anyway.

So right now I’m technically homeless in London, relaunching my music career, building this show in real time, posting things that make me uncomfortable daily… and somehow feeling more alive than I have in years.

Maybe that’s what happens when you stop hiding...

You stop waiting for permission.

You stop waiting to become someone else before you begin.

And instead… you just start building your life out loud.

And somehow that becomes the freedom.

Your body remembers everything.

The shame.

The anger.

The fear.

Even the things you think you’ve moved past.

And emotional triggers that make absolutely no sense… until suddenly they do.

At several points during this conversation I felt genuinely exposed.

I felt like this amazing woman could see straight through me.

And she’d never even met me before.

In this episode of The Stronger Stuff Show, I sit down with psychologist, body psychotherapist and Core Energetics teacher Alisa Lollback for one of the most fascinating conversations we’ve had on the show.

Why do some people become perfectionists, people pleasers, controllers or high achievers?

Why do certain moments trigger huge emotional reactions?

Why do many of our adult relationship patterns begin in childhood?

According to Alisa, the answers live in the body.

After this episode you will understand yourself - and the people you love - differently. 

From trauma, anger and boundaries to shame, guilt, parenting, relationships and nervous system regulation, we explore how our childhood wounds quietly shape the adults we become.

WE TALK ABOUT:

• why anger is actually healthy
• why suppressing emotions creates disease in the body
• the hidden roots of perfectionism and control
• why some people never feel safe or like they belong
• how unresolved childhood wounds show up in the adult emotional baggage, fear and shame we carry into sex
• why couples are often fighting about the past - not the dishwasher
• the LOWER SELF HANGOVER after conflict
• grounding techniques to calm overwhelm
• how to repair ruptures with your children and partner
• why self-awareness creates freedom

This conversation is deep, emotional, practical and full of moments that will make you stop and think:

 “Oooh… THAT’S why I do that!”

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Trauma stored in the body
• Core Energetics explained
• Anxiety, anger & nervous system regulation
• Childhood wounds & adult relationships
• Boundaries, people pleasing & control
• Shame, guilt & self-criticism
• Parenting & repairing emotional ruptures
• Emotional healing & embodiment
• Grounding exercises & breathwork
• The connection between emotions & physical illness 

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why you react the way you do
• How emotions become trapped in the body
• Practical tools to ground yourself during conflict
• A deeper understanding of your relationship patterns
• Why awareness changes the way you react, love and relate to people

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING:

• Anxiety, overwhelm or emotional triggers
• People pleasing and boundary issues
• Childhood trauma or abandonment wounds
• Relationship conflict and communication
• Parenting guilt and emotional repair
• Perfectionism, shame or self-criticism
• Wanting to feel more grounded and emotionally aware

Have you ever made a decision…that made complete sense to you…even when no one else understood it and they all thought you were crazy?

In this episode of Stronger Sunday Stories, I share the moments that shaped my life - not because they were logical… but because I knew they were right.

Leaving Australia at 20.

Moving to Paris on my own.

Falling in love and moving to Hong Kong with someone I barely knew.

Quitting a really successful career to go and make music.

Selling everything, including our home, in London and starting again in LA.

From the outside?

They looked reckless.

To me?

They felt right.

This isn’t about taking risks for the sake of it.

It’s about trusting the voice that doesn’t need approval.

Because the times I’ve got it wrong… that have really messed me up…

Have always been when I didn’t listen to that quiet voice.

When I didn’t trust myself.

When I listened to other people’s voices, more than my own.

That quiet voice?

It doesn’t need to convince anyone.

It just knows.

And when I listen to it…

I don’t need anyone else to agree.

And I figured out

That, that…is my Stronger Stuff.

IN THIS EPISODE WE SHARE:

• Trusting your gut vs overthinking
• Big life decisions that don’t need validation
• Moving countries, careers and relationships
• The difference between fear and knowing
• Why self-trust is built through action

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE OUT:

• How to recognize your own inner knowing
• Why you don’t need external validation
• The cost of ignoring yourself
• What real self-trust looks like

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING:

• Big life decisions that don’t make sense to anyone else
• Trusting your gut vs listening to outside opinions
• Career changes, relocations, or starting over
• Following instinct in relationships and love
• Overthinking, self-doubt, and second-guessing
• Wanting to trust yourself again

What if you could have the dream career… flying first class, working with global fashion brands… and still feel like a complete fraud?

In this episode of The Stronger Stuff Show, I sit down with Susan Walbrook - former senior womenswear designer with 26 years in the global fashion industry, working at the highest level across major brands and creative teams.

On paper, she had it all. But internally?

A constant voice saying:

“You don’t belong here.”

“You’re going to get found out.”

From art college to global fashion houses, Susan carried a relentless belief that she wasn’t good enough - pushing herself harder, working longer, striving for perfection… and never feeling it land.

Until her body stopped her.

In 2018, burnout hit. And everything changed.

This is a conversation about what happens when high performance masks deep insecurity - and what it really takes to rebuild your identity, confidence and creative voice from the ground up.

Today, Susan is founder of Trust Your Creative, working with global brands, creative leaders and founders - helping them overcome imposter syndrome, rewire their thinking, and unlock real creative confidence.

This isn’t theory.

This is lived experience - from inside one of the most demanding, perfection-driven industries in the world.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Life inside high-pressure fashion and creative industries
• Imposter syndrome at the highest level
• The reality behind “dream careers”
• Perfectionism, overwork and burnout
• The moment everything broke - 2018 turning point
• How self-doubt becomes your default
• The hidden cost of success
• The “Me File” - rebuilding confidence with evidence
• Rewiring your brain - neuroplasticity
• How to handle fear before big presentations
• Why your inner critic isn’t the enemy

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why success doesn’t remove self-doubt
• How imposter syndrome actually works
• The link between perfectionism, burnout & identity
• Practical tools to interrupt negative thinking
• How to rebuild confidence from real evidence
• A new way to work with your inner critic
• What real creative confidence actually looks like

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING

• Imposter syndrome / self-doubt
• High-performance careers
• Burnout & overwork
• Perfectionism
• Creative or corporate pressure
• Identity & career transitions
• Women in fashion, business, media or leadership

Have you ever said yes… when you really wanted to say no?

Or agreed to something to keep the peace… and felt yourself disappear a little bit in the process?

This is something so many women experience - especially in midlife - without even realizing it.

In this episode of Stronger Sunday Stories, Minna shares the moment she realized her People-Pleasing wasn’t kindness at all.

It was fear.

Fear of being judged.
Fear of being misunderstood.
... Of not being liked.

For years, she thought being agreeable, supportive, and “good” was the right thing to do.

But underneath that… she was abandoning herself.

From staying silent in meetings to constantly second-guessing what others wanted to hear, this episode explores how People-Pleasing quietly disconnects you from your own voice - and how it links to something much deeper.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about seeing it clearly - and what changes when you do.

IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARE:

• Why People-Pleasing is often learned survival
• The connection between People-Pleasing and Fear
• How constantly adapting to others erodes self-trust
• The moment I realized I’d been abandoning myself
• Why “being nice” can actually create disconnection
• A simple shift that helped me start trusting myself again
• How to begin setting boundaries without forcing it

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why saying yes doesn’t always mean you’re being kind
• How to recognize People-Pleasing in real time
• The emotional cost of overriding yourself
• Why boundaries don’t have to be dramatic
• A simple way to Pause before responding
• How self-trust starts to come back

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING:

• People-Pleasing and overthinking
• Fear of upsetting others
• Confidence and self-worth
• Struggling to say no
• Identity and self-trust
• Midlife shifts and boundaries

00:00 Why People-Pleasing is hard to see
00:45 Fear, safety and “being good”
01:00 The moment I let myself down
01:20 The truth about People-Pleasing
01:30 Losing your sense of self
02:30 The boundary realization
02:50 “I’ll get back to you” - the People-Pleasing Pause
03:20 Rebuilding self-trust
03:50 What to notice this week to build your Stronger Stuff

What happens when you’ve built a successful career in banking, finance and fintech, and still find yourself completely falling apart inside?

In this episode of The Stronger Stuff Show, Minna sits down with founder, investor and venture partner Sorcha Mulligan - a leading voice across fintech, blockchain and impact investing.

With over 15 years in banking, corporate treasury, fintech and Web3, Sorcha now works at the intersection of finance, technology and venture capital, supporting founders, investing in innovation, and driving change for women in business and tech.

But behind all of that… is a story she has never fully shared before.

After eight pregnancies, multiple miscarriages, postnatal depression, and what she describes as a complete internal collapse, Sorcha reached a point where none of her success could hold her together.

This is not a surface-level conversation.

It’s about what happens when your identity breaks, your mental health collapses, and your sense of self disappears - even while your career continues.

And what it really takes to rebuild from there.

From institutional banking to diving in Southeast Asia.
From blockchain and impact investing to motherhood and mental health.

This conversation moves between worlds - just like she does.

IN THIS EPISODE WE GO INTO:

• Life inside banking, finance & fintech
• Building a career in blockchain, Web3 & impact investing
• Supporting founders & funding innovation
• Miscarriage, fertility struggles & motherhood
• Postnatal depression & mental health breakdown
• Feeling “not good enough” even at the highest levels
• Letting go of control in life & business
• Rebuilding identity after everything falls apart

WHAT YOU’LL TAKE FROM THIS EPISODE:

• Why success doesn’t protect you from collapse
• What high-performing women carry silently
• How identity & career can disconnect
• Why rebuilding isn’t linear - or logical
• How to lead, build & invest more honestly
• What Stronger Stuff really looks like

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING:

• High-performance careers with burnout
• Women in finance, tech, startups or leadership
• Founders, investors & entrepreneurs
• Identity shifts or life transitions
• Miscarriage, motherhood or mental health challenges
• Redefining success & meaning

00:00 Finance, fintech & Sorcha’s world
08:00 Miscarriage, loss & motherhood
12:00 Postnatal depression & breakdown

Have you ever felt like you’re somehow behind, not enough, or doing life wrong?

Like everyone else has it figured out… except you?

This is something so many of us experience - especially in midlife, when we start questioning our direction, confidence, and self-worth.

In this episode of Stronger Sunday Stories, Minna shares a deeply personal moment from the aftermath of her burn - lying on the sofa, unable to move, questioning everything - when she realized just how much comparison had been quietly running her life.

Not in an obvious way.

In a subtle, constant way that shaped her decisions, her confidence, and what she believed was possible.

Because comparison doesn’t just steal your joy.

It pulls you out of your own life.

IN THIS EPISODE, I SHARE:

• Why comparison feels so real even when it's not
• The hidden fear underneath comparing yourself to others
• How comparison keeps you stuck and disconnected from your own path
• What actually happens when you start doing what you really want
• The moment everything shifted: “Whose life am I even comparing mine to anyway?”
• How to come back to yourself without forcing or fixing

This isn’t about “stop comparing”.

It’s about seeing it clearly - and what changes when you do.

If you’ve ever felt behind, not enough, or unsure of your direction… this one is for you.

PERFECT FOR LISTENERS NAVIGATING:

• Comparison & self-doubt
• Feeling stuck or behind in life or career
• Confidence & self-worth
• Midlife shifts
• Fear of not being enough
• Creative blocks & hesitation
• Identity & life direction

00:25 - The moment everything stopped
00:35 - “What am I doing with my life?”
01:00 - The music realization - what do I really want?
02:10 - The comparison pattern
02:30 - “Whose life am I comparing mine to anyway?”
03:55 - Fear underneath comparison
04:10 - Taking action
04:20 - Why comparison fades
04:40 - A better way to relate to others
04:50 - Coming back to yourself

Do you ever feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or trapped in a nervous system loop?

Or just like something isn't right?

And your pushing through and “being strong” is just making things worse?

Minna sits down with Dr Erica Reid - occupational therapist, trauma specialist, and founder of Head2Soul Therapy - for a deeply honest, eye-opening conversation about what strength really looks like when you stop pushing and start listening.

From people-pleasing and hidden trauma responses to menopause, boundaries, and the nervous system, Erica breaks down what’s really happening beneath the surface in a way that’s grounded, real, and hopeful.

This conversation moves between science, story, and lived experience. At the center of it all is this:

Your Stronger Stuff isn’t the armor.
It’s what lets you soften, feel and come back to yourself.

Have you ever been in a life that looked fine on the outside… but inside you knew something wasn’t right?

In this first episode of Stronger Sunday Stories, Minna shares The Burn - a terrifying accident that left her with severe burns across her legs, facing skin grafts, years of recovery, and the possibility that life as she knew it was over.

But this isn’t just a story about what happened.

It’s about what happens after. When you can’t keep going the way you were. When everything goes quiet… and you’re finally forced to listen.

From high-functioning burnout and people-pleasing… to lying still, wrapped in bandages, asking “how did I get here?”

This episode is raw, vivid, emotional, and unexpectedly funny in places.

And underneath it all, it asks something that might hit closer than you expect:

What if the thing you call STRENGTH… is actually what’s keeping you stuck?

⚠️Contains descriptions of a burn injury that may be confronting.

This Episode Weaves Together:

• A gripping real-life story that unfolds moment by moment
•  The hidden reality of burnout behind a “successful” life
• Dark humor in the middle of something genuinely terrifying
• The emotional shift from coping to collapse to clarity  
• The moment your body says “enough” - and means it
• A deeper, more honest definition of what STRENGTH really is

Perfect for listeners navigating:

• Feeling stuck in a life or career that doesn’t feel right
• Burnout, exhaustion, or pushing yourself too far
• People-pleasing and high-functioning coping
• Midlife identity shifts and “is this it?” moments
• Wanting change but not knowing where to start
• Emotional rock bottom
• Reconnecting with your voice, intuition and direction

05:00   The diagnosis
06:30   Stillness
