  • Healing Bali Style

    Here's another solo episode coming at you from our last couple of days in Bali! #sadface 

    Really, truly we knew we loved this place but we probably didn't expect to settle in so quickly and fall so hard for the Bali life. So hard in fact, although we're not sure exactly what's happening next we're exploring what being here longer term looks like for us! As we wrap up our last week here, I had an amazing healing experience with a Balinese spiritual healer that I want to tell you all about.

    Come join me as I share;

    • An update on Bali life and where to next
    • An energy healing and reading with my friend Sam that led me to seek out the local healer
    • What happened on the visit to the spiritual healer in Ubud and the messages that he shared with me
    • My takeaways from the healing, how I feel about receiving healings/channeled messages and how that guides me in my life
    • The importance of the connection to ourself as a key to a greater spiritual connection
    • I have decided not to share the details of the healer here, but if you're interested in experiencing this for yourself please reach out and I'd be happy to share with you. Please also reach out if you have any questions you'd like to ask, I love to chat about this stuff!

      If you'd like to get in contact with my friend Sam about a distance reiki healing and reading, please reach out to her on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/reiki_with_sam/ or hit me up and I can connect you.

    • Activating Our Potential Through Astrology with Kubra Ozguvenc

      Welcome to the next guest episode, talking all things Astrology and finding our own personal path with Kubra Ozguvenc.

      Perfect for anyone who loves Astrology or would like to learn more about how they can use it to activate their potential (far beyond just reading what their sun sign has in store for them this month ;) ), join Kubra and I as we dive into;

      • Kubra’s journey from a chemist (and sceptic!) to alchemist through her own journey of healing, when at 19 years old she became completely paralysed due to stress. Kubra was able to heal and return to health using a combination of traditional medicine and alternative healing approaches.
      • The special approach Kubra has developed using astrology and how to activate your potential by aligning your chart.
      • Living a life of full potential, not dimming our light to simply fit in and being boldly and unapologetically ourselves.
      • What our unpleasant emotions are trying to tell us.
      • The importance of setting healthy boundaries.
      • Using our birth chart as a user manual for our life, including understanding the entirety of our chart, rather than just our sun sign (which is where many peoples understanding of astrology begins and ends).
      • Self worth and the unworthiness wound.
      • The power of personal healing and growth and the ripple effect that it has on healing the collective.
      • Kubra Ozguvenc is a self-confidence mentor, astrologer, and energy healer. She started the #beboldlyyou movement to encourage women to live a life at their highest potential with confidence.

        • Our Bali Life with Rob Ruben

          I'm BAAACCKKK!! After a little break from the poddy as I prioritised settling our family into life in Bali, I'm excited to share this episode with a very special guest, my partner and my baby daddy Rob, as we reflect on our first month here in Bali. 

          We share all about our life here in Bali, how we manifested our stunning (temporary) home, settling into our new neighbourhood, the beautiful Balinese people, the food, the vibe, living near the beach...all the good stuff! 

          We also answer some of your questions about how long we've been planning this trip, whether it's what we expected, how Rob is enjoying travelling on his new Australian passport and how we're funding our digital nomad life. 

          A big thank you to my love for joining me in this chat, I had so much fun and I look forward to more poddy chats together!

        • Travel For Growth and Healing with Annie Sisson

          Only one more sleep until we leave on our digital nomad adventure! Eeeeeeeee!! And what better episode to bring to you, than a guest chat with Annie Sisson all about travel for growth and healing (and of course joy)! Annie shares her view on why indie travel is the best way to travel, the importance of flexibility (and how travel teaches us to be flexible) and finding ourselves through travel.

          We talk all about the powerful and life changing experiences we’ve both had through our own travel experiences, the joy of uncovering hidden gems when you’re open to the experience and willing to go with the flow and "get lost", returning home after life changing travel and our shared love of the Balkans! And of course we couldn’t not talk about what a passionate traveller did with herself during covid, including the need for a big pivot (urgh that word!) in her business. This episode is for the both the keen and novice traveller and will absolutely have you planning your next trip…which by the way IMO you should always have an eye on, especially after the “locked down” last two years we’ve had! Words cannot express the joy I have right now as we're sooooo close to getting on that plane! 

          Annie is a Travel Educator, Consultant, and Community Builder. She helps indie travellers create more authentic experiences by planning their own international trips. She loves helping people see the world their way -- without big organized groups or cruises -- so they can immerse themselves in the moment and their destination. She channels her passions for education and travel into teaching others the skills and resources to travel smarter, save money, and hit the road with confidence. When she’s not planning trips for herself or running the Indie Travel Collective, you can find her out in nature with her husband and little dog, Lizzy.

        • Understanding Our Trauma Responses with Julie Lamb

          Join me in this week’s episode with Julie Lamb, where we talk all about childhood trauma and how it affects us as adults. Julie shares with us the four trauma responses; Fight, Flight Freeze or Fawn, identifying our own default trauma response and some practical tips to manage through it.

          We talk about the difference between Big T Trauma and Little t trauma that occurs in childhood and then shows up in our adult life as those protective behaviours that served us in our early years, become unhelpful or problematic in our adult lives particularly in relationships and parenting.

          My own personal journey and learning on the topics of mental health and healing has led me to understand how much of a role trauma plays in many of our lives. Having access to this this information and becoming conscious of our own patterns, is key to our ability to be able to make change. Whether you’re new to these concepts or keen to learn more about taking back control of your own trauma response, this is a must listen episode!

          Julie Lamb is a therapist and intuitive business coach who has worked with trauma for 20 years. She focuses on helping individuals clear the subconscious blocks that show up their life. These blocks are often a result of trauma, even if we feel like we came from a good home. Julie helps people find their confidence to show up in business and life the way they are meant to.

        • When Life Doesn't Go To Plan
          It’s time for a long overdue solo episode! A lot has changed since my last update, including packing up our home, putting everything in storage…and our trip being delayed by a month. Yep, you read that right! So, let’s dive into what happens when things don’t go according to plan, including…
          How I make decisions from a heart/soul/intuition led place and feel into my body rather than over analysing and using pros and cons lists like the old (overthinking!) me would have.
          Trusting that there’s a bigger plan and everything’s working out for us.
          Recognising the duality of our emotions and feeling all the feels, because even when we trust that everything’s happening for a reason, it’s ok to still have conflicting (or even “negative”) emotions come up.
          Being mindful of how I’m feeling on any given day or moment and understanding that I have the choice to either honour or shift that energy.
          Being present in the moment and finding joy in the little things. If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with right?!
          I’m also sharing with you my newest offering, Soul Circles and the opportunity for you to join me online, on 12 June for our first circle on connecting to our Divine Feminine Wisdom. Think creativity, flow, receiving…and taking time to nourish your own soul and connect with other beautiful humans through ritual, meditation, reflection and sharing. You can purchase tickets here https://calendly.com/hivecollective/soul-circle-divine-feminine-wisdon?month=2022-06 with early bird prices only $44 AUD available until Thursday 19 June, with the regular price of $55 AUD from Friday 20 May. I’d love to have you come sit in circle with me, so please reach out if you have any questions.
          Note: although the tradition of circles has sat with women for generations (and I have so much respect for that), my Soul Circles are not just for those who identify as women, but are intended to be inclusive and welcoming of all humans who are feeling called to sit in ritual, reflection and sharing with others.
          Topics include; travel, moving, changing plans, making intuitive decisions, feeling into decisions, emotions, disappointment, pros and cons, trust, surrender, trusting the universe, connecting to emotions, duality of emotions, spiritual bypassing, energy, honouring energy, rest, shifting energy, choice, control, being present, living in the moments, masculine and feminine energy, letting go of the outcome, Soul Circles, divine feminine energy, wisdom, sharing circle, meditation, reflection.

        • Uncovering Our True Purpose Through the Akashic Records with Sophie Watson

          This episode is a deeply spiritual conversation with Sophie Watson, who shares her journey back to her own spirituality, including how she learnt (or more accurately, remembered) how to communicate with spirit and how she’s used her knowledge of the Akashic Records to heal her own life.

          From a previous life as a photographer and pharmacy technician, Sophie has been faced with more than her fair share of big life events, which she openly and vulnerably shares in this chat. She talks about the times in her life where the right people and situations appeared for her in the perfect moment and the importance of focusing on what we can control when life happens, in order to consciously create a life we love.

          We dive into how Sophie has used the Akashic Records personally and to support her clients to better understand themselves and their purpose. For those who are not familiar, the Akashic Records are essentially a library that holds the information about our individual souls. Through accessing the Akashic Records we can find out information about our personality, our past lives and what happens when we make choices that are out of alignment with who we really, truly are. I was so excited to learn more about this modality, and if you’re also curious I know you’re going to love diving into it with us too!

          Sophie has been guiding Corporate and Entrepreneurial Women from around the world to create a life they love since 2014. What makes her work so powerful is she not only communicates with Spirit but also embraces and uses her natural gift as an empath. Sophie physically feels others emotions, physical pain and energetic blocks, enabling her to very quickly get to the root of her clients issues. She has been featured in the Huffington Post and is a regular guest on BBC Radio Berkshire in the UK.

        • Saying No to Mama Guilt with Molly Ryden

          This weeks episode with Molly Ryden is all about healing ourselves in the chaos of raising little ones…without the guilt. Molly talks about finding our way as mama’s, prioritising our own joy and happiness and the unrealistic expectations of society and ourselves of how we should do, and feel about motherhood.

          Molly shares her experience of shifting her perspective and re-writing her own story, through managing anxiety and depression and as a new mama who spent three months in the NICU with her son with no idea how to balance the needs of caring for him with her own. Molly is all about shifting the narrative about mama’s, the guilt they feel, their responsibilities and the view that there’s a certain way we should feel about being a mama (hint; it's not all sunshine and unicorns!). She also talks about the importance of lifting up and encouraging other mama’s rather than judging or shaming them – whoa isn’t that just a breath of fresh air?! Whether you’re a mama or going to be a mama (parent) one day, I know you’ll get a lot out of this open and uplifting conversation…one which I hope we keep having more of.

          Molly Ryden is a mindset and empowerment coach specialising in defeating the stigma of mom guilt. She works with clients on organising "life" and finding time to prioritise themselves and do things just for them that don't involve hiding in the bathroom and scrolling social media.
