This Messy, Beautiful Life

This week we’re back with my first guest episode for the year, a positive and abundant chat with Petia Kolibova, an alignment women’s coach who guides women to intuitively connect with their inner vision so they can experience personal and professional magnetism and become unapologetically abundant.

In the earlier decades of her life, Petia let the stories about who she was and how she came to be overshadow her, leading to unhappiness, unhealthy relationships with others and herself and a lot of time running away. It wasn’t until she realised that these stories were not her truth that she began to heal and open herself up to remembering who she truly was.

Petia and I talk all about:

Petia’s mission is to empower visionaries who are on the path to embody their fullest self-expression to soulfully expand into a quantum leap in all dimensions of their lives. Petia gives immense clarity + exact steps to unlock women’s divine feminine and abundance mindset. Through subconscious work as a certified breathwork facilitator, reiki, NLP & Human Design practitioner, she leads her 6 and 7 figure clients to their next level in life and business. If she is not interviewing fellow experts on her podcast Unapologetically Abundant, you’ll find her traveling the world with her husband, hosting retreats, or reading.

Hello 2023, and welcome back to Season 2 of This Messy, Beautiful Life!

I have a beautiful visualisation meditation to share with you and support you in your 2023 visioning and goal setting process. No matter where you are in the process, this meditation will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the year that’s been, leave it behind (with love) and welcome 2023 with a clear vision of what you’d like to achieve this year. (Also, if you're listening back to this episode, it's relevant for any new year and/or at a time when you're honouring endings and beginnings)

I recommend finding a quiet space and at least 30/40 minutes, which includes time after the mediation do some journalling. In your journalling, reflect on what came up for you during the visioning visualisation. Let it all flow out and this can either be the beginning of your 2023 vision, or support the work you've already done.

The meditation starts at 06:21.

If you’ve been on this journey with me for a while, you know that I’ve been questioning the impact of the online coaching industry and my role in it for a while now. I know that I’m not alone in this feeling, both from conversations I’ve been having and other people speaking out on social media. This chat today is a deep dive with another fabulous coach who has also been questioning the lack of humanity and in same cases the questionable ethics of what she sees online. 

Rachel Kurzp is a marketing coach, copywriter, speaker and teacher. She supports multi-passionate women to build an aligned, ethical and profitable business without having to choose between their passions, compromise their values, and use unethical marketing tactics.

With the new year around the corner, if you've been thinking about working with a coach in 2023, you're going to want to listen to this episode, where Rachel and I talk all about:

Rachel also shares her journey from being homeless at 17 and the life choices she’s made as a result, predominantly from a place of strong belief that she was worthy and deserved a better life.

Rachel Kurzp has helped over 3,000 creative entrepreneurs gain financial freedom in their businesses, enabling them to make a positive contribution to the world. Rachel resisted speaking about her background for so long because her story doesn’t fit nicely into the ‘rags to riches’ narrative we hear so often, as those stories always left her feeling deflated wondering why she hadn’t had the ‘holy aha moment’ that set her on a new path.

But after sharing her journey privately with her clients and community she realised they didn’t want an over-simplified, highlight reel. They wanted to understand the life-long work that goes into creating a purposeful live and aligned business.

This week's episode is drawing a connection back to my second episode, The Joy of Slowing Down (Part 2) where I share with you, just how important slowing down has become to me in the past 12 months. What started this time last year as my "33 days of joy" has become a full blown commitment to myself, as well as supporting others in honouring our need for rest.

I have such a deep belief that taking the time to slow down is essential in any journey of healing. Because if we can't take the time to pause, be present and connect to our mind, body and soul, then we're unlikely to be able to cultivate the type of awareness to really tune into what we want and need in our own healing. If you're resisting the urge to slow down, it's an invitation to check in with yourself as to what you might be avoiding. Believe me, I've been there many times.

I talk about the universe's little nudge (ahem, push down the stairs!) to remind me to slow down, the experiment I've undertaken these past few weeks to really challenge myself to slow down (I've done WAY less work hours and achieved WAY more by honouring my need for rest than I was sitting at my computer for hours on end) and the reasons why slowing down and taking time to rest is so good for our nervous system.

The Joy of Slowing Down Masterclass

If you're keen to know more about The Joy of Slowing Down, join me for my free masterclass next Thursday 10:00am AWST / 1:00pm AEDT where we will explore this topic more deeply, including a beautiful live meditation to support us in slowing down and honouring our need for rest. Even if you can't make it live (I get it, it's the week before Christmas), please register and you will be sent the recording link.

Lu Bryant is an author, Reiki Master, Priest, Certified Neurolinguistic Programming Practitioner, EFT (Tapping) Practitioner and Master Life Coach specialising in overcoming invalidations and raising self-esteem. This episode is Lu's personal story of tremendous resilience, bravery and sheer determination to heal herself through incredible adversity. 

Trigger Warning: This episode contains personal experiences of significant childhood physical, emotional abuse and rape that may be triggering to some people. Please proceed with care and if anything in this episode triggers you, please reach out to a mental health professional for support.

Lu takes us on a journey through her incredibly traumatic childhood, all through the lens of the power of sound for healing. She was 12 years old when she got her hands on a 12 string guitar and the strumming of the guitar and the sound resonated through her body in a way she didn’t quite understand at the time. She now understands why this was so supportive in her healing, alongside a deep connection (and escape) into nature.

She shares her very personal and vulnerable story of overcoming tremendous adversity, long term, deep healing from complex PTSD and the sheer determination and courage she has to not give up.

We talk about the power of sound and music, science behind why and sound healing works, nature, spirituality, faith, near death experiences, experimenting with different healing modalities, sound and light therapy, Holosync and the concept of feedback rather than failure, writing a book, therapy and understanding and treating complex PTSD.

You can find Lu’s book “Tortured To Triumphant: One Woman's Spiritual Journey Through Complex PTSD” here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T61FB6L/ref=nodl_?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860

Oooh, this is a juicy episode! I've been wanting to talk more about childhood trauma and how that shows up in our life and relationships for some time, and what better time than the holiday season, where let's be honest family events can trigger the sh*t out of us! So I'm talking all things family trauma AND how to set boundaries that support you over this period.

I first learnt about the concept of how our childhood trauma shapes us from my therapist back in 2015 (when I was going through a traumatic separation), and she shared all about attachment theory and how attachment styles formed during childhood show up in our adult relationships. It gave me such a great framework to begin to understand who I was and why I had some of the thinking and relational patterns that I did (and still do TBH!). Fast forward to a few years ago and I discovered Dr Nicole Le Pera and her book How To Do The Work, next level game changer on all things trauma and mind, body, soul healing.

Join me as I talk about;

If you can resonate with this topic or have any questions for me, please reach out and we can chat in the DMs, particularly if it comes to setting boundaries for the holiday season!

If anything in this episode triggers you in any way, please reach out to a mental health professional for support. If you do not have access to your own individual support or need more immediate support, in Australia, call Lifeline is 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue 1300 22 4636. If you live elsewhere please get in contact with your local mental health crisis support helpline.

I'm delighted to invite you to join me in beautiful Bali in March 2023, to rest and retreat for 5 luxuriously slow and transformative days. Check out www.hivecollective.com.au/retreats and pop your name on the waitlist to get all the details and be the first to access VIP early bird pricing when tickets go on sale very soon.

How do you just be you? It might seem like a bit of a silly question, but because of the work I do, I know that so many of us have lost touch with who we truly are (hey, it happened to me too!). If this idea resonates with you, then you’re going to love this chat with my guest Marissa Hamon talking all things finding and being YOU!

Marissa is a Life Coach who helps people take responsibility for themselves, so they show up as their best self and create their ideal life.

Talking all things self-love aka self-responsibility and truly loving and taking care about ourselves on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level), Marissa and I explore:

All of this adding up to how you can be more YOU!

Marissa has personally dealt with limiting beliefs, depression, emotional and binge eating, body shame, not being able to love and accept herself, and feelings of powerlessness, unworthiness, and not being good enough. Because of her own healing journey, she knows that it is possible to heal, overcome any life difficulties, and live a happy, joyful, fulfilled life with commitment, the right tools, and support.

Marissa now helps others find the right tools for self awareness and self management on physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels so they too can love themselves, create their Ideal Life, and be excited to live!!

This episode's coming in hot after some recent conversations (just two in the last week) where people have said "I feel SO much better having just spoken about it". 

It got me thinking, why is it such a surprise that sharing feels better and why does it actually feel better to share what we're thinking and how we're feeling? We live in a world where we've been taught to keep things to ourself, to not show vulnerability and to feel shame if we're not coping. When actually, as humans, we're built for connection...we're not meant to struggle through on our own!

In this solo episode I'm sharing some of the reasons why it feels so good to share and some tips for how to set up these conversations for success. I cover some science behind what happens in our brain when we express emotions, how speaking our emotions and feelings out loud helps us understand them better, helps us form connections and makes us feel less alone. It's also my experience that it's very rare for someone to not be able to relate to what we're talking about in some way, particularly when it comes to sharing challenges in our relationships, parenting and mental health.

It's always a good idea to make sure you're having these conversations with people that you trust, to check that they have capacity to support you and it's absolutely ok to have boundaries around how you would like them to treat the information you share with them by being direct about whether or not you'd like them to keep it confidential.

I am so passionate about normalising these conversations, seeking support from others, sharing our vulnerability and spreading the word that just because we're healing (or facing challenges!) doesn't mean that we're broken! It simply makes us human.

Plus I've got some exciting news to share...I'm hosting a retreat in magical Bali in March 2023 and you're invited! the waitlist is now open and you can get your name on it here https://www.hivecollective.com.au/retreats to be the first to get details and access to early bird VIP tickets.

Welcome back to another delightful guest episode of the podcast. Oh my I'm really on a roll here...I've been talking with awesome humans about all things connecting to ourself and following our own path and today you're getting even more goodness!

This episode is also going to appear on Lisa’s podcast, Your Work Your Way (go check it out!) and we explore the concept of strengthening our intuition and tapping into the soul’s inner wisdom, including;

As a coach, it’s Lisa’s mission in life to help others trust themselves so they can take charge of their career. She uses her Master’s in Industrial Organisational Psychology (psychology applied to the workplace), life coach certification, and experience as a Learning and Development Consultant and Communication Trainer to provide clients with the tools, guidance, and insight to access their own brilliance.
