Have you ever wondered how to bring yourself back from a stressful event? Maybe you’ve tried to shift the emotional response to a trauma experience from your past, and felt defeated due to the lack of change. 

Today I’m speaking with Havening Practitioner Elle Louise McBride and she’s going to help us understand exactly what is happening in our brains when we replay traumatic events in our mind and how we can unbind from their power.  Meet Elle Louise McBride, a force to be reckoned with in the world of NeuroSelf Care. With a holistic approach that blends various modalities, Elle empowers women and young adults to live their best lives and reach their full potential. As a Havening Techniques Practitioner, Elle is sought after for her expertise and is dedicated to bringing awareness to the impact of trauma and providing tools for release. She co-founded The Enlighten Co. in 2019, offering 1:1 sessions, retreats, workshops, and more to help individuals overcome their obstacles and reach their goals. Elle is also a gifted writer and speaker, sharing her wisdom and inspiration with the world. Her mission is to help people understand that the root of unhappiness lies in the belief of not being enough, and to provide the tools and support needed to overcome this belief. At the end of this episode at 50:30 Elle takes us through a Havening process. I share my experience in real time and how it shifts for me through the experience. Be sure to come back to this if you are unable to move through the process in real time, and please let Elle and I know how it unfolded for you via social media.

Episode 93 -  Unbind from negative loops of the mind using Havening with Elle Louise McBride

When I see people with big communities begin to talk about the challenges that conception can carry, I feel a kinship. When Lisa began speaking about her fertility challenges, approximately 8 years in, I knew immediately I wanted to speak to her.

Not for any other reason than that, I had to know how someone navigates what she has, runs a company, maintains relationships and seems to be relatively well. 

Having navigated my own experiences with conception and through supporting thousands through the podcast and hundreds through my coaching, I have a pretty fair idea of what it feels like to go through IVF and infertility at it’s worst. 

In our conversation today Lisa shares that sparkly spirit that we all know and see through her social channels, but she also allows us to see the rawness of what she has navigated. From the lowest moments, big financial choices, pregnancy loss and everything in between.

 Somehow she manages to share the realities of HER story, while also bring lightness, hope and an unwavering resilience that I know we can all learn from. 

Lisa launched The Messenger Group in 2001, which has custom published more than 400 books for companies and individuals and now releases 40 – 60 products per year globally. Lisa has authored and co-authored more than 36 books and become an authority in the start-up scene. Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to change the way they think, take them out of their comfort zone and prove that there is more than one way to do anything. She encourages entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and innovation and lives life to the absolute max. With fans including Sir Richard Branson, New York Times Best-selling author Bradley Trevor Grieve, and a social media following of well over 800,000 across the Collective Hub platforms, Lisa’s vision is to build a community of likeminded people who want to challenge the status quo and change the world. I absolutely loved this conversation and I truly cannot wait to hear how Lisa’s story, helps support you in yours. 

I know you’re going to love this one.

Episode 91 - IVF, resilience, surrogacy and hope with Lisa Messenger

If you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by the world of astrology, you’re not alone. 

In this episode I bring it back to basics with my incredibly knowledgeable and very cool friend Kristy Gray. 

Kristy is an Astrologer and Life Strategist from the Gold Coast. Her career started in Learning and Development in the beauty industry, working for the likes of Clinique and global beauty giant Sephora. A passion for developing people and brands blossomed into a 10-year career, but Kristy was perpetually curious about astrology - she was ‘that girl’ in the office who was always asking everyone for their star signs. 

In 2018, she found herself sitting in front of an award- winning Astrologer who became her mentor, and instantly fell in love with the stars and how they can help you understand more about yourself to make conscious decisions. Five years on, Kristy has become one of Australia’s leading Astrologers. Through her signature formula, Astrostrategy®, Kristy combines mystical insights with practical tools to dismantle the uncertainty that’s been holding you back. When she’s not stargazing, you’ll find her at the beach, fantasy novel and green juice in hand.  
 In this episode Kristy walks us through the foundation of our own charts when it comes to living full expressed and aligned as individuals. With her empowering approach Kristy shows us how to navigate the world of astrology with our internal filter switched on. 

We explore … + Sun, moon and ascendent and how understanding them will give us an even deeper insight into who we are and what to celebrate within ourselves
+ A brief look at the planets and houses
+ Whether you have a daytime or nighttime chart and how that can inform the best way that you operate in the world (this is super easy to grasp!) 
+ Your North and South Nodes and how to use these to help you live more aligned and fulfilled 

Plus so much more! 


At the top of the conversation Kristy guides us to pull up our own natal charts, follow the link below to do that for free, and if possible have on hand while you’re listening.  Astro.com
