Following on from our conversation in Part 1: Jess and I expand on Embodiment in business.

• Navigating being embodied while running a business and dealing with the challenges that come with that
• The importance of having intentional practices like meditation, breathwork, and limiting social media consumption to manage stress and stay grounded
• Staying in your own lane in business by being intentional about what you consume and who you listen to, rather than getting caught up in comparison
• How Jess uses astrology and human design with your staff to understand their personalities, strengths, and ideal working styles and I get to look at her Human Design chart and break some elements that relate to her business
• The importance of finding your deeper "why" for doing the work you do versus just chasing money or status

If you've ever felt the struggle of staying true to yourself while being in business, if you're yearning for a more easeful and aligned approach to your work, or you dream of leading your team in a way that celebrates their individuality, this episode is going to resonate deeply.

In this week's episode, I sat down with Jess Wrightson to speak about Embodiment & living an Embodied Life. Jess is the founder of Surskin and Henosis & Co, who I consider a true matriarch in the wellness world. If you've ever felt stuck despite doing all the mindset work, find yourself living entirely in your head, or sense there's a deeper level of connection missing from your life, this conversation will shift something for you.

Jess has been making an impact with her work for over 20 years through her unique approach to healing that goes beyond traditional beauty treatments into the realm of true embodiment and energetic healing. We discuss the gap between intellectual awareness and body wisdom, why so many of us feel more disconnected than ever despite having access to endless resources, and practical ways to reconnect with the felt sense of who we are.

In this conversation, we explore:

• What embodiment is
• The disconnect a lot of us are feeling
• Practical ways to reconnect with your body, from breathwork that you can do in two minutes to somatic movement that doesn't require any training or certification.
• How practices like touch, movement, and sound can help us process and release what we've been carrying.

Whether you're intellectually aware of your patterns but still stuck in the same cycles, craving a deeper connection to your intuition and body wisdom, or looking for practical tools to move beyond mental understanding into real embodied transformation, this episode offers a pathway back to yourself that doesn't require expensive certifications or complex practices.

This conversation was so expansive that I've broken it into two parts. This episode focuses on embodiment as individuals, and part two explores how to bring this embodied approach into your business and work.

In this week's episode, I sat down with Chelsea, a photographer, content creator and founder of Identity Media House & Leading Edge Collective, a creative community in Perth supporting photographers, models and creatives of all kinds. If you've ever felt pressure to find your perfect creative niche, struggled with comparison or you're trying to figure out what makes you different, I think you'll really connect with this conversation.

Chelsea shares her journey from starting dance at age four to launching her photography business at 18 and now running Leading Edge Collective & Identity Media House. We discuss how trying different photography styles helped her discover her passion, the challenges of building a business while managing social anxiety & ADHD, and how she's created an inclusive space where creatives can express themselves authentically.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Finding Your Niche Through Exploration
• Overcoming Self-Doubt and Social Anxiety
• Building an Inclusive Creative Community
• The Importance of Personal Connection
• Redefining Success on Your Own Terms

Whether you're feeling pressure to "get it right" the first time, craving permission to try different creative paths, struggling with comparison or looking to build more authentic connections in your industry, this episode reminds us that our unique journey, including the detours and challenges, is precisely what enables us to create meaningful impact.

What does it take to stand out and stay true to your vision when others doubt your path?

Have you ever felt like your creative ideas were too different to succeed? In today's world where sameness often feels safer than standing out, finding the confidence to follow your unique vision can feel incredibly challenging. Yet the most memorable businesses are built by those who dare to be different, even when faced with skepticism.

I’m excited to be welcoming back Antionette Raphael, a Perth creative and founder of RAW WAR, a high-end streetwear label designed and produced right here in Perth. If you've been following me for a while, you might remember Antionette from my blog back in 2018. Since then, she's showcased at London Fashion Week, was featured in British vogue and has continued to evolve her brand while staying true to her distinctive vision, even when faced with skepticism about her unconventional approach. 

I've watched her journey unfold and am genuinely inspired by how she's maintained the confidence to be different in an industry that often rewards conformity.

In this conversation, you'll learn practical strategies for developing the confidence to pursue your unique creative vision, even when others doubt your path. Antionette shares how she's built a successful brand by embracing her differences rather than conforming to industry expectations, insights that will help you transform your own creative entrepreneurship journey.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Finding the Confidence to Express Your Difference:Practical strategies to develop the courage to pursue your unique vision when everyone else says you should conform
• Transforming Criticism into Motivation: Antionette shares how she used others' doubts about her high-end streetwear concept as fuel for her determination, and strategies you can apply when facing pushback on your creative vision
• Creating Authentic Brand Identity Through Personal Evolution: How Antionette's creative process reflects her personal journey, and why allowing your business to evolve alongside your authentic self creates deeper connection with your audience
• Setting Boundaries as a Different Kind of Entrepreneur: The specific ways Antionette protects her creative energy by saying "no" to conventional expectations, and how establishing your own rules can preserve your unique approach
• Building Sustainable Success on Your Own Terms: Why Antionette's patient, distinctive approach to fashion entrepreneurship has created lasting impact, and how embracing your differences can become your greatest business advantage

If you're navigating the challenges of building a business that breaks the mold, this conversation is for you. Antionette's journey shows what's possible when you have the confidence to be different and stay true to your vision despite skepticism. Her evolution from a young designer who was told "it won't work" to a respected creative entrepreneur offers both inspiration and practical guidance for anyone ready to embrace their unique path. 

This is exactly the kind of authentic, sustainable approach to business I believe in.

What do you do when you’re given the worst possible news about your health?

In this episode, I’m chatting with Em Ridley, a chartered accountant, business & mindset mentor and health advocate who was told she’d have to live with a debilitating autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis and get her bowel removed. Instead of accepting the news as gospel, she decided to rewrite her story.

Em shares how she took control of her health, healed her autoimmune disease naturally, defied the odds, and created a life—and business—that feels truly aligned.

Here’s what we talk about:

• What it feels like to hit rock bottom and how that can spark a total life transformation.
• Navigating the medical system and choosing an unconventional path to healing.
• Why taking ownership of your health and life is one of the most empowering things you can do.
• What building an Invincible Mindset means
• Building a business that’s about fulfilment, not burnout.
• The role self-trust and resilience play in breaking free from society’s expectations.

This episode is for anyone who’s feels stuck, faced challenges that seemed impossible to overcome, or is ready to take back control and create a life that works for them.
