A Transformation Track and conversation for those ready to transform their relationship with wealth from the inside out.
In this episode, Paula invites you on a powerful inner journey to rewire your mindset for wealth, abundance, and soul-aligned success. Blending grounded spiritual wisdom with neuroscience and practical insight, she shares how to shift from a scarcity-based way of thinking into a life where prosperity flows naturally.
This isn’t just about money—it’s about embodying your innate power, aligning with your highest self, and creating new neural pathways that allow wealth to become your default setting. Drawing from The Science of Getting Rich, personal stories, and conversations with psychologists, spiritual mentors, and transformational voices, Paula shows you how to step into the frequency of abundance that already lives within you.
Discover how presence and soul-connection act as gateways to wealth, joy, love, and vibrant health
Learn why chasing money keeps it running—and how to instead become the energetic match for abundance
Explore the role of neural rewiring and mindset in attracting wealth, and how to train your brain for success
Shift from fear-based decisions to powerful, aligned choices that nurture long-term freedom
Be guided through affirmations like "I do not chase, I attract" and "Every breath deepens my alignment with wealth, joy, and truth", designed to help you embody your rich, radiant essence
This meditation is a sacred reset—a return to the truth that abundance isn’t outside you. It’s who you are.

Transforming Your Life: How to Break Generational Cycles and Attract Abundance
In this inspiring episode, Paula welcomes Jay Hastings, a remarkable entrepreneur and mentor who transformed his life from homelessness to becoming a multi-millionaire. Jay shares his powerful journey of resilience, mindset shifts, and the importance of consistency in achieving success. Jay emphasises that true success encompasses not just financial wealth but also personal growth, healthy relationships, and self-awareness.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Success is Multifaceted: Success is not solely defined by financial wealth; it encompasses personal growth, healthy relationships, and overall well-being. Achieving success in various areas of life contributes to a fulfilling existence.
Mindset and Consistency: A strong mindset and consistent effort are crucial for transformation. Recognizing and overcoming self-imposed limitations can lead to significant personal and professional growth.
Personal Responsibility: Taking ownership of one's life and choices is essential for success. No one else can save you; it is up to the individual to take action and make the necessary changes to achieve their goals.
Clarity and Vision: Having a clear vision of what you want in life is vital. Creating a vision board can help maintain focus and clarity, allowing individuals to project their desires to the universe effectively.
Attracting Opportunities: By putting oneself out there and taking action, individuals can attract opportunities and circumstances that align with their goals. What you seek is also seeking you, but you must be proactive in creating the conditions for success.
BEST MOMENTS
"Success means being all I can be. I want to be successful in different areas of my life, whether it's learning Spanish or building strong relationships."
"No one's coming to help me. If I don't do things myself, then no one's going to do it for me."
"Success is not necessarily what's on the outside; it's the inside. Riches don't necessarily make you happy."
"When you really understand your reason why, that can propel you or give you the fire to never stop."
"What you are seeking is seeking you. If you want success, you have to put yourself in a position to receive it."

Paula takes her listeners on a profound journey of transformation, guided by the metaphor of a radiant magenta butterfly. Drawing on Carl Jung’s interpretation of the alchemical process.
Nigredo (blackening): The breakdown stage—facing shadow, grief, and confusion to initiate transformation.
Albedo (whitening): A phase of purification—clarity and healing begin to rise.
Citrinitas (yellowing): Spiritual insight awakens—the true self starts to shine.
Rubedo (reddening): Transformation completes—you emerge whole, radiant, and embodied
Key Takeaways
Paula reveals the inner journey of transformation through the symbolic and psychological stages of Jungian alchemy.
The Four Stages of Jungian Alchemy
— 🖤 Nigredo (blackening) – A time of uncertainty, breakdown, and facing the shadow. This stage initiates the transformation through dissolution and introspection.
— 🤍 Albedo (whitening) – Clarity and healing begin to surface. Light breaks through the darkness, allowing purification and deeper self-awareness.
— 💛 Citrinitas (yellowing) – Spiritual insight emerges. This is the stage of surrender and illumination, where inner wisdom begins to shine.
— ❤️ Rubedo (reddening) – The final stage of transformation. The individual emerges whole, integrated, and radiant—embodying the essence of their true self.

From Diagnosis to Awakening: La Simms on Finding Soul in the Shadow of Cancer
Today, Paula sits down with fellow podcast host La Simms, whose world was shattered by a life-altering cancer diagnosis—and who chose to rise from the wreckage with fierce determination and radical honesty. In this real and soul-stirring conversation.
Together, they explore what it means to face your mortality and still choose life—not just survival, but deep, embodied living. La speaks candidly about confronting emotional wounds, the fear of being vulnerable, people pleasing and the courage it takes to receive support when you’ve been conditioned to carry everything alone.
This episode is a testament to the human spirit—the ache of breaking down and the power of rebuilding from truth, intuition, and radical self-love.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Diagnosis as Awakening: A cancer diagnosis doesn’t just threaten the body—it can dismantle old identities and force a reckoning with how deeply (or not) we are living. In that rupture, there is potential for rebirth.
The Struggle to Receive: Many people find it harder to accept help than to give it. La speaks to the emotional weight of independence and how learning to receive cracked open new layers of healing.
Healing Through the Body: Somatic modalities like breathwork and Reiki go beyond talk therapy. They allow the body to release pain it has carried silently for years—and reconnect us to our wholeness.
The Power of Retreat: Stepping away from the noise of daily life to be in sacred, intentional space with others can ignite deep healing, reflection, and growth that isn’t possible in isolation.
Joy as Medicine: Even in the midst of pain, joy matters. Dancing, laughing, creating—these aren’t just feel-good moments, but necessary acts of soul restoration.
BEST MOMENTS
"For me, you know, when you get told that you were given that diagnosis and everything flashes before you. My kids can't not have a mum. That's just not okay."
"I realised he wasn't divorcing me, that, no, he loves you and he was never leaving you. He was moving on with his life."
"I just wouldn't have sorted my shit out. Like I wouldn't have gone there and done this healing work."
"Self-care is nurturing your soul and really giving it what it needs."
"I want everyone to experience the renewal of retreats and I like people to take it away with them."

In this episode of "Transform Today," host Paula delves into the transformative power of managing our energy field, drawing on principles from quantum science. She emphasises the importance of regulating our nervous system to move beyond survival mode and embrace personal growth. Through practices like forgiveness and self-love, Paula illustrates how we can release old conditioning and trauma, allowing us to connect with our true selves. The episode features a guided meditation that explores the energy centers of the body, encouraging listeners to visualise and harness vibrant energies for healing and empowerment. By the end, listeners are invited to reflect on their personal journeys and consider the next steps toward a more fulfilling life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Energy Management for Transformation: Personal transformation is closely linked to managing our energy field. By understanding that everything is energy, including our thoughts and emotions, we can influence our reality and well-being.
The Importance of Forgiveness: Forgiveness is a crucial aspect of self-love and transformation. It allows individuals to let go of negative emotions and fosters healthier relationships with themselves and others.
Regulating the Nervous System: Learning to regulate the nervous system is essential for feeling safe and moving beyond survival mode. This regulation enables higher functioning and creativity, which are vital for personal growth.
Chakras and Energy Centers: The human body has energy centers (chakras) that hold universal wisdom and lessons. Mastering these centers can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and overall well-being.
Mindfulness and Compassionate Awareness: Practicing mindfulness and compassionate awareness can help individuals self-soothe and reprogram their minds. This approach is particularly beneficial for those dealing with trauma, as it promotes healing and resilience.
BEST MOMENTS
"According to the principles of the quantum field, everything is energy, including us."
"Pain and suffering must die for joy and freedom to reign."
"The energy field of PTSD and stress is often filled with anger, shame, jealousy, impotency, suicide, addiction, depression, mistrust."
"I hold that higher power... in prayer and meditation, and I hold it fiercely to love all the parts of me."
"When we feel stress, we're closed off and only really interested in our own needs."

In this episode, Paula sits down with the radiant and resilient Sara Chalice — a bestselling author, speaker, and fierce advocate for carers. Sara opens up about her deeply personal journey of love, loss, and burnout while caring for her beloved husband, Neal, through his battle with a terminal brain tumour.
What followed wasn’t just grief — it was a reckoning. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Sara shares how she found her way back to herself, the healing power of stillness, and how choosing hope — even in the darkest moments — became her lifeline. If you’ve ever felt lost in the role of caring for someone else, this episode is your reminder: and remember your well-being matters, too.
💡 Key Takeaways
🌿 Self-care and Self-love aren't selfish — they are survival.
Caregivers often pour so much into others that they forget their own needs. Burnout, exhaustion, and health issues follow. Prioritising your well-being isn’t optional — it’s essential.
🌸 Create space to come home to yourself.
Retreats, journaling, prayer, meditation, time in nature — these aren’t luxuries. They’re lifelines. These practices help you slow down, reflect, and reconnect with who you are beneath the role.
😂 Don’t underestimate the healing power of humour.
In the hardest moments, a little laughter can be medicine. Finding lightness doesn’t dismiss the pain — it helps carry you through it.
🤝 You’re not alone — and you don’t have to do it all.
So many caregivers suffer in silence. Asking for help isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom. Connection is the antidote to isolation.
💗 Gratitude and grief can coexist.
It’s okay to be thankful and tired. To feel love and frustration. Honour your emotions — all of them. Self-compassion is the ground from which true healing grows.
BEST MOMENTS
"I felt like I was waking up and it was a funeral every day. So it was definitely depression at the time."
"Burnout just creeps up on you. You're always putting people before you and you're not giving yourself that thought."
"You are number one, not the person you're caring for. If you fall ill, you can't care for them anyway."
"There's a whole energetic side to it. Your energy needs lifting because you're getting pulled a lot."
"If you can't have comedy, there's no point in me writing it. You've got to have a laugh through the darkest of times."

In this episode, Paula delves into the concept of being "rewired for joy," emphasising the importance of nervous system regulation for achieving a fulfilling life. She explores how our bodies hold onto past pain and stress, and how true transformation begins with creating a sense of safety within ourselves. Paula guides listeners through a process of emotional healing, encouraging them to witness and release old pain to make space for joy and love.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lasting calm and joy are achieved by rewiring the nervous system from the inside out, rather than relying solely on techniques like breathing or taking breaks. This process involves creating safety in the body to let go of stress and anxiety.
For joy to return, it is essential to witness and honour past pain. This involves allowing emotional imprints to be felt and gently released, creating space in the heart for love and joy.
Change occurs through consistent practice. Listening to the audio regularly helps deepen neural pathways for calm and joy, allowing the body to restore trust in the present moment.
Using affirmations can help restructure neural pathways and reinforce a sense of safety, calm, and joy. These affirmations should be felt in the body to become a new reality.
The process of rewiring for joy involves bringing the newfound calm and resilience into everyday life. Visualising ascending a staircase symbolises carrying this peace and joy into waking life, empowering individuals to live fully and authentically.
BEST MOMENTS
"Lasting calm isn't something you force. It's something you rewire into your nervous system from the inside out."
"Your body keeps score. Your body holds onto pain, protection and pattern, not just in the mind, but in your muscles, bones, blood and cells."
"For joy to return, there must be space in the heart. And that space opens when pain is witnessed, honoured and gently released."
"You are ready to feel in order to heal. You are ready to remember who you are, not a body shaped by stress, but a soul designed for peace, love and freedom."
"Every day this practice will gently rewire you. You will no longer be ruled by survival. You are now living from creation, from presence, from strength, from joy."

Paula sits down with Mike Kewley—meditation teacher, author, and spiritual guide—for a heartfelt conversation about mindfulness, suffering, and the idea of illusion. They explore how to stay grounded through life’s real pain and joy, and share a deep and illuminating discussion on non-duality. Mike reflects on why awakening isn’t about escaping challenges but meeting them with awareness and compassion.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
"You can't suddenly leap into, oh, it's an illusion. And I also think a lot of spiritual practice is often weighed down with beliefs that we think we have to take on board when we start meditating."
"It's okay to feel it all, because transformation starts exactly where you are. Because where you are is the door to the deeper knowing of your heart."
"The idea that someone is done, in inverted commas, in any way, is more of the fairy tale. And we have to really understand just how much we like fairy tales."
"You can't put this into any words, really. It's wordless. It's beyond words."
"Everything is inclusive. Everything has a seat at this table. Everything is love or a call to love."

In this episode, Paula explores Slim Alchemy — a transformative, soul-meets-science approach to weight loss that goes far beyond diet and exercise. Rooted in the principles of neuroplasticity, this method activates the brain’s innate ability to rewire itself by accessing alpha and theta brainwave states — deeply relaxed states that open the gateway to the subconscious mind.
Paula reveals how true, lasting change happens when we shift from surface-level strategies to subconscious reprogramming, where old patterns dissolve and new, empowering beliefs can take root. This is where the infinite intelligence of the soul meets the science of the brain, creating real, embodied transformation from the inside out.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Weight loss is a rewiring process, not just a physical one. Real transformation occurs at the intersection of mind, body, and soul — starting with the subconscious.
Alpha and theta brainwave states (accessed through deep relaxation and guided hypnosis) are the doorways to subconscious change. In these states, the brain is most receptive to new programming.
Through neuroplasticity, the brain can form new neural connections. Listening to the Slim Alchemy transmission consistently over a 4-week period helps reinforce these new pathways and align behaviuor with authentic desires.
Affirmations like “It is natural and easy for me to move, nourish, and love my body” help create supportive inner dialogue and anchor positive change in both the mind and body.
Slim Alchemy is where soul meets science — merging spiritual wisdom with brain-based techniques to unlock a weightless way of being, inside and out.
BEST MOMENTS
"Lasting weight loss is not a physical challenge; it's a mental and emotional process. It's about changing from the inside out."
"Slim Alchemy isn't like anything you've done before. It's a transformational journey that taps into the infinite intelligence of your soul."
"You are becoming someone who chooses what serves your highest vision, because you can."
"Every positive choice strengthens the new empowering neural pathways I am building."
"You are discovering the power within you to savour food more deeply, needing less to feel completely satisfied."

We've come a long way since the 1970s Vogue diet — and thank goodness for that. In this episode, Paula sits down with renowned celebrity personal trainer Richie Swan, founder of the Sort Your Fit Out, an innovative online fitness platform that's rewriting the rules of health and wellness.
Together, they dive into a conversation that goes beyond protein shakes and step counts. It’s about mindset — the kind that fuels real, lasting change. Richie shares powerful insights on ditching the quick-fix mentality and building a positive inner dialogue that actually sticks. From the power of community to the importance of emotional health, this episode is a refreshing reminder that sustainable wellness isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress.
Whether you’re starting your journey or rebooting it, this chat is packed with relatable truths, actionable advice, and a whole lot of inspiration.
Key Takeaways
🧠 Mindset matters. Real transformation starts with how you think. Let go of the "fix it fast" mindset — true change is about learning, evolving, and showing up consistently.
❤️ Emotional fitness is real. Good vibes go beyond the gym. Surrounding yourself with support makes the tough days easier and keeps your motivation alive.
⚖️ Balance is everything. Health isn't about saying no to birthday cake — it's about saying yes to a lifestyle that works for you.
💪 Protein is power. It’s not just about muscles — protein supports your skin, your hair, your metabolism, and your strength, especially when you're trying to lose weight.
🧘♀️ Mindfulness works. Being aware of your self-talk, managing stress, and staying kind to yourself can transform the way you show up in every area of life.
"You've got to be in the right mindset to achieve anything. You've got to have a willingness to want to make a change to make it happen."
"If anybody else spoke to you the way you speak to yourself, you'd get a restraining order out on them."
"We're trying to educate people on going, yeah enough of the cycle, let's go take you back to basics."
"If you're in a calorie deficit and your protein's really low, your body will not just burn fat but it'll be using muscle tissue."
"Sadness and happiness can sit side by side. It's not about pushing it over there; it's about that self-acceptance."
