We Are Woman

Food has become confusing.

We’re constantly being told what to eat, what to avoid, and how to optimise our health,  yet many of us feel more disconnected than ever. In this episode, we sit down with Amanda Powell, a nutritionist specialising in body composition, gut health and thyroid health, as well as GI mapping, food intolerance and functional testing, to explore what’s really going on beneath the noise. From the impact of stress and the nervous system to the subtle ways we override our body’s signals, this conversation is an invitation to simplify and come back to what actually matters.

We also unpack the quiet reward/punishment cycle so many women find themselves in with food. Being “good” during the week, then letting go and feeling like we need to earn what we eat or make up for it later. Not in extreme ways,  but in the subtle, everyday patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves. Amanda brings a grounded, refreshing perspective on why this cycle isn’t really about food at all, but about control, guilt, and disconnection, and what it might look like to step out of that dynamic and into a more intuitive, supportive relationship with eating.

And for those navigating this as mothers, we touch on the question many of us carry - what are we passing on to our children? Because kids don’t just learn what to eat, they learn how to feel about food. Together, we explore how we can model a more balanced, intuitive relationship;  not through perfection, but through awareness, presence, and a deeper connection to our own bodies.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this week’s episode, we explore what shadow death really is. A deeply human process of shedding. The seasons where something that once fit no longer does. The identities, roles, and ways of operating that quietly begin to soften. We speak to how this can feel dark, disorienting, even tender at times, and how that darkness does not mean something is wrong. It can simply mean something is changing.

We share what shadow death has felt like in our own bodies and lives in the grief, the uncertainty, the humility of letting something fall away. Simultaneously we also recognise that every woman’s experience will look different. This is not about blowing up your life or reinventing yourself overnight. It is an intentional process of re-remembering. A death and a growth unfolding at the same time. The quiet unraveling of what no longer feels true, and the slow emergence of something more aligned.

We also speak to how FBR breathwork can support this in-between space. Not by rushing the rise, but by helping us stay with what is surfacing: the grief, the anger, the softness, the unknown. Breath becomes the anchor. The internal holding. The place we can return to while something old dissolves and something new begins to form. We begin in the darkness and gently move toward the love and light that often follows when we allow ourselves to evolve.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

This week’s conversation feels like a return to something ancient, familiar, and deeply needed. A space where women gather in honesty, in reflection, and in remembrance. Where stories are shared as lived experience. This is the essence of sitting in circle, and it’s exactly what unfolds here as we sit with Emma Yeadon

Specialising in FBR Breathwork, Nervous System Regulation and Cacao Ceremony, Emma creates a container for profound healing and discovery. 

Emma shares her journey through a season of change that led her to Bali, and what unfolded from there. Together, we explore what it means to come home to yourself through embodiment, through breath, and through the integration of both the feminine and masculine within. We speak to the shifts that happen not just in the mind, but in the body, and how this work can gently reshape the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to our own sense of strength and power.

This conversation is a reminder that healing is not about becoming someone new, but about integrating what has always been there. About meeting the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden or hardened, and allowing them to belong. As you listen, you may find something in Emma’s story that resonates within your own; a quiet recognition, a softening, a remembering. And in that, you are part of the circle too.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this episode of We Are Woman, we slow things down and explore the practice that quietly underpins so much of what we speak about here — Facilitated Breath Repatterning. We share what this work is, how we’ve come to it, and why it has become such a foundational part of how we understand ourselves and move through the world.

We speak to FBR as a practice that meets the body with safety rather than force. A way of listening to the body and hearing what it has to say in all its wisdom. We explore how the breath reflects our stress, our history, and our adaptations and what can begin to shift when the body is given the space to respond in its own time, without pressure or expectation.

This conversation offers a different perspective on breathwork. One that doesn’t chase intensity or outcomes, but instead centres safety, awareness, and integration. It’s a gentle invitation to notice your own breath. Not to change it, but to become more aware of the choice within it, and what becomes possible when listening replaces effort.

A note before you listen.

This episode touches on psychedelic-assisted therapy as part of Beck's professional background and personal journey into breathwork.

We want to be clear — we don't condone the improper or recreational use of psychedelics. This is an emerging therapeutic field that requires trained professionals and appropriate clinical oversight.

If you're curious about whether psychedelic-assisted therapy might be right for you, you may reach out to Bec who can support you with access to a qualified mental health professional, or alternatively, speak with your own qualified mental health professional of choice.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this week’s episode, we explore the nervous system as the quiet system shaping our energy, pace, and experience of the world each day. There’s so much content out there on the “nervous system” but we speak to what it actually feels like to move through life in a body that is often “on,” and how many of us were navigating activation long before we had language for it. We touch lightly on the science - sympathetic, parasympathetic, what real rest looks like - while keeping the conversation anchored in lived experience.

We share personal reflections, from sustained activation through things like coffee and constant stimulation, to the quiet realisation that scrolling or watching Netflix does not always equal true settling. We explore the difference between mental distraction and physiological rest, and how the body often speaks long before the mind understands why. This is an honest conversation about energy, sensation, and learning to recognise when we are actually safe enough to soften.

We also gently weave in the role of breath as a way of listening to it. For us, breathwork has been one pathway into experiencing regulation and deep rest, rather than trying to think our way there. If you have ever felt wired but tired, calm on the surface yet braced underneath, this conversation will meet you exactly there.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this episode, Sara sits down with Edward, the founder of FBR Breathwork and the teacher who has guided each of us on our practitioner path. Together they open a thoughtful and spacious conversation about the story behind the work. They explore the technique itself, and the lived experience that led Edward to breathwork in the first place.

Edward shares openly about his personal journey, the questions that shaped his path, and the moments that slowly revealed the power of working with the breath. He speaks to how FBR Breathwork developed over time through observation, curiosity, and deep respect for the intelligence of the body, and how this work has supported both his own life and the lives of many others.

This conversation offers a glimpse into the heart behind the practice we so often speak about on the podcast. It is a reflection on listening to the body, trusting the process of unfolding, and remembering that the breath has the capacity to guide us back to ourselves in ways that are both simple and profound.

Strength can look beautiful and unwavering from the outside. Capable. Composed. The one who holds it all together. In this episode, Mel opens the space to explore her story beneath that strength. The identity so many women are praised for, and the quiet cost it can carry.

For years, holding it all together felt powerful. Until her body began to speak. A tight jaw. A braced diaphragm. Shoulders that never quite softened. What was once labelled “anxiety” slowly revealed itself as something else: a signal, not a flaw.

This conversation traces the gentle unravelling that followed. Not dramatic. Not performative. Just the humbling moment when coping strategies that once created safety stop working, and old roles begin to dissolve. It is a reflection on listening to the body, on softening the armour, and on discovering who you are beneath competence and control.

If you have ever felt tired of being the strong one, or sensed there is something more underneath your resilience, this episode offers a quiet recognition. Not a fix. Just an invitation to listen and to trust that your body may be wiser than you think.

Leadership is often thought of as something we step into, but rarely as something we return to. Yet women lead. We always have. Often in ways that go unnamed, unseen, or unrecognised by traditional definitions of power and authority.

In this conversation, we explore leadership as something that begins inside the self. Not as a role to earn or a way to perform, but as a way of being rooted in love, self-compassion, and the willingness to stay connected to what’s true. We speak about how self-abandonment quietly erodes leadership, and how leading from enoughness changes everything.

We reflect on the difference between presence and performance, and the subtle ways women lose themselves when trying to be “the right kind” of leader. We also explore leadership as cyclical rather than linear, and why real leadership honours seasons of growth, rest, shedding, and renewal.

Through nervous system awareness and breath, we return to the body as a guide. Slowing down, lengthening the exhale, and reconnecting with ourselves becomes a practice of leadership in real time. This conversation is an invitation to lead from truth, to honour your rhythm, and to remember that what you are looking for may already be here.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this episode, we open the space for Sara’s story and meet her in the places that shaped her. It is an invitation to meet the human behind the voice of this space, and to understand what has informed her path, her work, and her relationship to being a woman.

Sara shares her journey from entering the international modelling industry at 14 to the slow, repetitive conditioning that shaped her relationship with her body, women, and worth. We explore how outward success can exist alongside inner disconnection, and how her breaking point became the beginning of a deeper inquiry: who am I beyond performance, beyond image, and beyond being chosen?

From shaving her head as a reclaiming to her first profound experience of FBR Breathwork in Bali, Sara speaks candidly about moving from perfectionism, control, and hypervigilance into embodiment, rest, receiving, and the kind of clarity that comes from living inside the body again.

What is FBR Breathwork? FBR Breathwork (Facilitated Breath Repatterning) is a trauma-aware, body-based practice that supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and new internal patterns, through the breath.

In this episode of We Are Woman, we slow power right down and ask a different question: what is power, really? Not the performative kind, and not dominance, confidence, or control, but the kind you can actually feel in your body. The kind that is steady, grounded, and quietly alive.

We explore power as capacity: the ability to stay connected to yourself, your truth, your inner signals, and your boundaries while still being in relationship with the world. We speak to the ways power becomes distorted through conditioning, especially for women, how unclaimed power can turn into resentment, and why embodied power often looks like softness, surrender, and presence rather than loudness or force. Along the way, we weave in the nervous system, breath mechanics, and how early developmental stages shape our sense of agency, safety, and self-trust.

This conversation is an invitation to reconsider what power feels like when it’s rooted in the body. To notice where you’ve equated power with control or performance, and what becomes possible when power is allowed to be quiet, relational, and deeply grounded.

Thank you for listening to this episode. There are several ways you can work with us to deepen your own practice of returning to yourself and finding more safety, clarity and truth within.
