In this episode Angela Sciberras joins us to recount her inspiring journey from a career in music to the world of therapeutic healing. Once a talented flautist, an injury led her to discover the transformative power of music therapy. Angela shares poignant stories, including playing for her grandmother in her final days, shedding light on how music extends beyond entertainment to offer comfort and healing from babies in the neonatal unit to those at the end of life. Angela highlights the profound impact music can have in palliative care, particularly the soothing tones of the harp.

Exploring the ancient musical modes and their therapeutic applications has allowed Angela to provide solace to those in their final moments. From playing at life celebrations to creating calming environments in palliative settings, Angela's passion for therapeutic music offers a unique perspective on the healing power of sound.

The essence of personalised support in end-of-life care is about understanding the complex emotions involved; and being adept at tuning into non-verbal cues. Through heartfelt anecdotes, we explore how music therapy can transform grief into uplifting experiences, breaking down the barriers of fear and sadness. Angela's story exemplifies how music can facilitate profound connections and offer solace in life's final stages.

Can creativity enhance our well-being and mental health? In this episode, I welcome Tina Summers, a passionate artist from the picturesque Port Stephens (north of Sydney), who shares her powerful journey of overcoming doubts and insecurities about her artistic ability. We discuss imposter syndrome and perfectionism, providing insights into embracing artistic identity through a creative process that balances joy and self-expression.

My conversation with Tina doesn't stop at personal growth; it extends into the broader impact of creativity on society. We explore how engaging in art, music, and communal creative activities can reduce stress and create a sense of belonging.

Creativity isn't just for the artistically inclined; it's a vital element of life that can be nurtured through simple, everyday practices.

Listen to your body — it's not just a wellness cliché. It's the message that could save your health, your energy, and your future. In this episode of The Wellness Connection podcast, I'm joined by Karina Hogan, a life and business coach who opens up about what happened when she didn’t listen… and how it nearly cost her everything.

If you're a woman feeling constantly exhausted, burnt out, or like your body is shutting down from stress, this conversation is for you. Karina shares her deeply personal healing journey — from chronic gut issues and total fatigue to rebuilding her health using mindset shifts, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and holistic practices.

👉 We talk about:

What it really means to listen to your body
How burnout sneaks up on strong, capable women
The early warning signs we often ignore

The connection between stress, gut health, and emotional trauma

Why healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — and how to find your missing puzzle piece

💬 If you’ve been pushing through, soldiering on, or just feeling like something’s “off,” it’s time to stop, breathe, and tune in.

Ever wondered how the seemingly harmless act of scrolling through social media could be affecting your self-esteem? Join us on the Wellness Connection podcast with a compelling conversation with Sam Ebblewhite, a somatic sexologist and intuitive healer who shares her deeply personal journey with body image.

We examine the pervasive impact of edited images on social media and the unrealistic beauty standards they promote, especially for young girls. Our discussion underscores the urgent need for self-acceptance and the power of authenticity in a world driven by external validation.

Fiona  candidly reflects on the struggle of maintaining authenticity amid personal challenges with weight, health and self-perception as a nutritionist. We then discuss how embracing our vulnerabilities may empower others to accept their imperfections and prioritise self-care over societal expectations.

We confront the delicate balance of self acceptance while cautioning against normalising unhealthy habits. Self-worth should never be tied to body size, however health must always be a consideration. Rejecting diet culture has led some to go too far in the other direction!

Finally, we delve into the nuanced world of cosmetic procedures, Sam shares personal experience and insights on navigating these choices, urging listeners to consider both mental and physical implications before proceeding. Our conversation highlights the significance of aligning one's mental, emotional, and physical health, advocating for a holistic approach to body image and self-care.

This episode aims to empower our listeners to embrace their unique body image journeys with confidence and compassion.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation with Sam Ebblewhite, a somatic sexologist and intuitive healer, who shares her transformative mental health journey. This story begins with growing up in a family grappling with alcohol-related dysfunction as the eldest child. We discuss how Sam sought help through counselling and over time explored various traditional and alternative therapies. Her late diagnosis of ADHD acts as a turning point, offering clarity and a new perspective on understanding herself and managing her mental well-being.

Our discussion doesn't shy away from the tough topics, addressing the impacts of childhood trauma and the responsibility we carry in our healing journeys. We share insights into the value of rewriting inherited narratives and beliefs to foster personal growth. Healing, as we discuss, is akin to updating an outdated software, where challenging the critical inner voice is a necessary step toward integration and self-compassion.

The episode wraps up with a focus on creating a personalised mental health toolkit, tailored to your individual needs. We discuss essential components that contribute to holistic mental health management. Tune in for a blend of practical insights and heartfelt stories to inspire and empower your mental health journey.
