After a 12-week intentional break, the Woman Empire Project podcast is officially back for 2026.

In this deeply personal return episode, Peta-Lea shares what really unfolded during her time offline — the grief, the unexpected family emergencies, the spaciousness she thought she wanted, and the confronting realisation that when the moment you’ve been waiting for finally arrives… it doesn’t always feel the way you imagined.

This episode is raw, reflective and powerful. It’s about death and perspective. About motherhood and identity shifts. About self-sabotage and self-awareness. About the uncomfortable void between one chapter ending and another beginning.

Most importantly, it’s about choice.

If you’ve ever:

• Taken time off and struggled to restart
• Waited for the “perfect conditions” before showing up
• Hit a milestone you once longed for… only to feel lost
• Found yourself spinning excuses instead of moving forward
• Felt the pull for more, but noticed yourself hesitating

This conversation is for you.

Inside this episode, Peta-Lea explores:

• Why she chose to return to podcasting without waiting for a studio or perfect setup
• The powerful life reflections that came through family loss and health scares
• The grief that surfaced when all four of her children started school
• How self-sabotage can disguise itself as “rest” or “uncertainty”
• The importance of catching your own patterns and limiting beliefs
• The daily power of choosing your state (even at 5:30am making lunches)
• Why momentum requires uncomfortable self-leadership
• The energetic shift into 2026 and the Fire Horse year
• How eclipse seasons reveal repeating patterns and alignment gaps

This episode is a call forward.

We are already in March.
There are nine months left in 2026.

What are you choosing?

What are you no longer available for?

What will you actively do — daily — to move toward the life you say you want?

This is your reminder that you don’t need the studio, the perfect timing, the polished setup or the certainty.

You need a decision.

This final episode of 2025 is a devotion to the woman you’ve been… and the woman you are becoming.

Inside, Peta-Lea opens her heart and reflects on the Year of the Snake, a year of shedding, endings, identity release, and deep personal evolution.

She shares the wild revelations discovered through revisiting previous Snake–to–Horse year transitions and why 2026 holds a frequency of massive expansion.

This episode celebrates 40 episodes of the Woman Empire Project Podcast, over 15 guest speakers, thousands of women listening globally, and a host who refused to let excuses stop the mission.

You’ll hear Peta-Lea’s word for 2025, her bold and stretching word for 2026, the dreams she met and the dreams she’s taking forward, and the critical realisations about discipline, follow-through, and alignment that will shape the next chapter.

She closes with reflection questions, invitations, and a reminder that your dreams are not random they are instructions.

Inside this episode I share:

When a woman pauses long enough to hear her own truth… everything shifts. She Visioned is your chance to step into the woman you’re becoming.

This night is a potent blend of vision, frequency, and embodied manifestation a space where you anchor your desires into your body, clear the energetic clutter, and create from the highest version of you. If you’re ready to stop hoping your dreams land and finally create the conditions for them to meet you… this is your moment. Secure your ticket and start 2026 with intention, clarity, and power.

She Visioned is happening on 14th January 2026 on the Gold Coast.

In this episode, Peta-Lea opens her heart and shares the real, tender truth behind taking a powerful pause. As the Woman Empire Project podcast prepares for its intentional break, she invites you into a raw conversation about presence, intuition, motherhood, and the stories we tell ourselves.

This is a gentle wake-up call to look at time, priorities, and the way we move through our days. From social media addiction to rewriting lifelong stories, this episode is an invitation to return to self, create spaciousness, and honour what truly matters.

Inside the episode, I talk about:

Why I’m closing parts of my business + social media for 8 weeks

How social platforms shape our intuition, energy and boundaries

The truth behind “I don’t have time”

Presence in motherhood and the reality of mental load

Trying on new stories, new versions of self, and unlearning

What happens when we actually honour our peace

For years I believed I had to be “on” all the time. But the truth is, the world keeps turning when you slow down. And when you do, clarity arrives.

If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own voice… this episode will land deeply.

To enter my giveaway head to the link below:

Secure your ticket to She Visioned between 24th November and 30th November and go into the draw to win a 90 minute energy healing session with me via distant.

She Visioned is the night where your inner world finally gets the microphone. It’s where the noise drops away and your true frequency rises. A space where desire becomes sensation, where your vision becomes something you don’t just think about you feel it in your body. This is where you return to the woman who knows. The woman who creates. The woman who remembers her power. In this sacred portal, sound moves you, energy clears you, and your future self calls you forward with clarity and devotion. She Visioned isn’t an event… it’s a becoming.

If you loved this episode remember to leave a 5 star review and drop into the comments and let me know which part spoke to you the most.

This episode is a real-time, unfiltered journey into a three-day personal development immersion, recorded from the car, from the breakthroughs, and from the heart.

Across three days, Peta-Lea uncovers a core pattern around visibility, control, freedom, and the stories that quietly shape who we believe we’re allowed to be.

A full-body, real-time transformation delivered straight to your ears.

This isn’t polished.

Inside the episode I share:

The surprising fear that surfaced around being seen

Why my body tightened the moment I watched the event sneak peek

How childhood conditioning still shows up in our adult behaviour

What happens when strangers reflect back how they “see” you

The belief that shocked me — and how I’m starting to shift it

The powerful lesson on storytelling that changed everything for me

If you’ve ever felt held back, stuck in a loop, or frustrated by the gap between who you are and who you know you’re meant to be — this one will land deeply for you.

I also talk about how these shifts weave into motherhood, leadership, and the way we allow ourselves to take up space… even when it scares us.

In this deeply moving episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, Peta-Lea sits down with her dear friend, student, and mentee, Jess — a woman who went from complete physical and emotional burnout to living a life filled with peace, purpose, and spiritual alignment.

Once a high-achieving young manager in the corporate world, Jess lived in a constant state of survival — ticking boxes, pushing harder, and carrying the weight of “doing it all.” But beneath the surface, her body was screaming for rest. After years of ignoring the whispers, life intervened. A sudden collapse, a trip to the emergency room, and a diagnosis of extreme burnout became the catalyst for everything that followed.

What unfolded next was a complete rebirth. From her healing journey to her spiritual awakening — this conversation reveals the raw, honest truth about what it means to fall apart, listen to your body, and rise again.

Peta-Lea and Jess explore:

Jess’s story is a powerful reminder that breakdowns are not the end — they are often the beginning of remembering who you truly are.

If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, disconnected, or questioning whether there’s more to life — this episode will awaken something deep within you.

In this heartfelt and wildly honest episode, Peta-Lea takes you on the journey behind one of the most powerful manifestations of her life, her trip to Italy.

What began as a casual coffee chat with a friend turned into a full-bodied declaration: “I’m going to Italy.” No plan, no money in her account, just conviction.

Within days, the Universe began to move in ways she couldn’t have imagined, mentorship clients appeared, opportunities unfolded, and every detail aligned perfectly.

In this part one episode, Peta-Lea opens up about:

This is more than a travel story, it’s a reminder of what happens when you choose trust over doubt, faith over fear, and action over hesitation.

It’s for every woman who’s ever felt the whisper of something more calling her forward but wondered if she was brave enough to answer.

Because when you say yes, the Universe rearranges everything to meet you there.

Thanks for being here beautiful, 

so much love to you. 

In this episode, I sit down with international event expert Bex to unpack the five key reasons why every business should be running events, even if it feels overwhelming.

We dive into the truth about connection, visibility, feedback, and the massive content opportunities events create. Whether you're service-based, product-based, or just dreaming of launching your first event, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at why being in the room changes everything.

Bex has worked in every facet of events for over 2 decades. She has so much in depth knowledge after working across festivals, business events, expos, trade shows, pop up activations and more. She was recently described as the invisible hands weaving magic into the fabric of an event. Bex is now teaching what she has learnt over more than 20 years, in the form of in person masterclasses and an online course ready to launch later this year.

We talk about:

If you’re ready to elevate your brand, grow your trust, and stand out — events are your next move.
