  • S1 Ep203: You Are Not Your Beliefs: Reclaiming the Wild Woman Within

    You Are Not Your Beliefs with Rachel Babaganov

    In this episode…

    In this episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Rachel Babaganov, Canadian health and wellness coach, former nurse, and Certified Wim Hof Method instructor based in Germany. Rachel shares how women can move beyond burnout, people-pleasing, and self-doubt to reclaim their authenticity, voice, and embodied power.

    Episode Overview

    Rachel Babaganov blends science, spirituality, and lived experience to guide women back to themselves.

    With a background in nursing, public health, and research, Rachel now leads women through her Wild Woman work using breathwork, cold immersion, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and nature-based ritual.

    In our conversation, we explore:

    • Why you are not your limiting beliefs
     • How early conditioning quietly shapes leadership and relationships
     • The hidden cost of “good girl” conditioning
     • The nervous system patterns of fight, flight, and fawn
     • Why healing does not need to happen in isolation
     • The power of co-regulation and relational healing
     • Why women must create before they consume
     • How to fail forward and make space for yourself

    Rachel explains how many women operate from unconscious belief systems such as:

    “I must be good.”
     “I am not enough.”
     “If I rest, I will fall behind.”
     “I cannot speak up.”

    These beliefs often lead to overthinking, perfectionism, burnout, weak boundaries, and emotional suppression.

    We discuss how the “nice girl” pattern is not a personality flaw but a survival strategy. Rachel introduces her Co-Healing Method, a simple and effective relational approach that supports women in repatterning old conditioning safely and sustainably.

    This episode is a powerful reminder that authenticity is not selfish. It is a return home.

    With over a decade of experience in nursing, public health, and research, Rachel supports women in moving beyond burnout, self-doubt, and over-responsibility toward confidence, embodiment, and authentic expression.

    Through her Wild Woman work, she integrates breathwork, cold immersion, nervous system regulation, somatic practices, and nature-based ritual to help women reconnect with their inner voice and truth.

    Rachel believes healing is possible and that connection is the medicine.

    Key Takeaways

     • Healing is not meant to happen alone. Connection creates sustainable change
     • Authenticity requires courage, but it restores vitality and peace
     • Make space for yourself
     • Create before you consume

     • Why are women so deeply conditioned to be “nice,” even at their own expense?
     • How does the nervous system keep women stuck in over-giving?
     • What becomes possible when a woman chooses authenticity over approval?
     • How does life change when women allow themselves to be supported and witnessed?

  • S1 Ep201: Break Free, Heal, and Reclaim Your Life from Domestic Violence
    Break Free, Heal, and Reclaim Your Life from Domestic Violence

    In this episode, we explore healing from domestic violence, emotional trauma, and reclaiming personal strength with Sheridan Holmes, founder of Stop Listen Change.

    You Are More Than Your Situation

    Many women feel trapped in controlling relationships. Sheridan reminds us: you are stronger than the situation you face. The first step is believing in your own power.

    She shares practical advice on creating a plan to leave safely. Knowing there is a path to healing is essential. Life after trauma is possible — free from past shackles.

    Introducing the Mace Energy Method (MEM)

    Sheridan is a Counselling MEM Practitioner. MEM is a breakthrough program that helps people release emotional blocks. Unlike traditional therapy, it works without having to talk through trauma.

    This method helps individuals rebuild confidence and reconnect with their true selves. It’s simple, organic, and highly effective for women recovering from domestic violence and emotional trauma.

    Challenges and Solutions

    Women often struggle with negative internal dialogue. Limiting beliefs replay in the mind, affecting habits and decisions. Many feel something is missing, but don’t know why.

    Sheridan emphasizes that these emotional disturbances are treatable. They are not life sentences. Healing is possible if the person wants change.

    She also highlights the need for better support for women experiencing DV. While improvements have been made, safety and awareness still need work.

    This episode is not just about healing from DV—it’s about rediscovering your voice, reclaiming your personal power, and stepping into a future you choose.

    Three Key Takeaways

    1. Healing is possible – MEM allows deep recovery without reliving trauma.

    2. Change is attainable – Emotional disturbances are treatable conditions, not permanent.

    3. Support matters – Systems to protect women from dangerous situations have improved but still need work.

      ABOUT THE GUEST — SHERIDAN HOLMES

      Sheridan Holmes is a Counselling MEM Practitioner and founder of Stop Listen Change on the Gold Coast. She supports individuals — especially women recovering from domestic violence and emotional trauma — to release emotional blockages, rebuild confidence, and reconnect with their true selves.

      Sheridan is also the author of Don’t Walk, Run – Escape Domestic Violence and Let the Healing Begin. Through her work, she helps people find clarity, freedom, and renewed personal strength.

      • S1 Ep199: Creating a Simpler Life: Reconnecting With Yourself Through Courage, Culture & Purpose
        Creating a Simpler Life: Reconnecting With Yourself Through Courage, Culture & Purpose

        In this episode, we explore how living simply, acting courageously, and reconnecting with our true selves can transform everything — with Life Purpose & Fulfillment Coach, Silvia Resnik.

        Rediscovering Yourself by Creating a Simpler Life

        So many women appear to “have it all,” yet feel deeply disconnected from themselves. Silvia Resnik, founder of Simple Life Journey, understands this personally. In our conversation, she shares how a life-changing visit to Tanzania opened her heart to a new way of living — one based on authenticity, community, and simplicity.

        Silvia explains that modern women often lose themselves under layers of responsibility: work, home, family, expectations, and the pressure to be everything to everyone. Her message is clear: don’t wait for the right moment — the “if” — to live the life you crave. Do it now.

        What We Can Learn From the Maasai

        During her time in Tanzania, Silvia discovered ancient Maasai wisdom that shifted her entire worldview. Far removed from materialism and digital overload, the Maasai live with profound clarity: connection matters more than possessions, community matters more than competition, and joy is found in presence, not achievement.

        Silvia now integrates these lessons into both her coaching and the immersive trips she leads to Maasai bomas. Women who travel with her experience life stripped back to what truly matters — and often rediscover pieces of themselves they didn’t even know were missing.

        The Hidden Struggles Women Face

        Throughout the episode, Silvia identifies the core challenges women face today:

        • Self-doubt and loss of identity

        • Difficulty setting boundaries

        • Lack of meaningful support networks

        • Disconnection from themselves, others, and their purpose

        • Cultural and societal pressures — including harmful practices like FGM

          Her solutions are grounded in kindness and courage: reflect, reconnect, set boundaries, celebrate soft skills, seek community, and learn from cultures that value humanity over busyness.

          EmpowerHER: Fighting FGM and Supporting Maasai Girls

          One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is Silvia’s work as co-founder of EmpowerHER, a grassroots initiative supporting Maasai women and girls. The project focuses on:

          • health education

          • culturally respectful initiatives to end FGM

          • entrepreneurship for women

          • creating safer, empowered futures

            • Her message is heartfelt: If even one person’s life changes for the better because of what we do, then it all has meaning.

            Three Takeaways You’ll Love

            1. Reconnect With Yourself – Life isn’t about more achievement; it’s about remembering who you are and what brings joy.

            2. Connection Creates Strength – Empowerment grows when women support, mentor, and uplift one another.

            3. Act From Love & Purpose – Your actions, even the small ones, can change lives — your own and others’.

            4. S1 Ep198: Unlocking Your Entrepreneurial Brilliance: A Blueprint for Purpose-Driven Success
              In This Episode…In this episode, we explore self-love, purpose, truth, greatness, vision, and the neuroscience behind becoming the most powerful version of yourself with entrepreneurial consultant, speaker, and author Katarina Hanssens Carlsson.

              Truth, Greatness & Vision: The Moment That Changed Everything

              Katarina shares a remarkable personal story that shaped the entire trajectory of her work. After leaving school feeling “stupid and ugly,” she set out to challenge the labels others placed on her. She modelled in London, trained as a teacher, and even became a successful psychotherapist — yet still felt unfulfilled.

              Then came the life-altering vision atop Mount Rainier: Leonardo da Vinci’s perfect man, with three words surrounding him — TRUTH, GREATNESS, VISION. That moment revealed her calling: helping entrepreneurs discover their authentic identity and brilliance.

              Since then, Katarina has become a global leader in purpose-driven entrepreneurship, guiding high-achievers to uncover their unique gifts and their God-given potential.

              The Entrepreneurial Blueprint: A Science-Based Path to Purpose

              In today’s climate of uncertainty — job instability, rapid change, financial anxiety — Katarina believes people crave certainty more than ever. Her Entrepreneurial Blueprint Consultation provides exactly that.

              In just one day, clients gain:

              • Their Authentic Entrepreneurial Identity

              • Their Driving Purpose

              • A Compelling Five-Year Vision

              • A personalised roadmap with actionable steps

              • Clarity on their brilliance, value, and global positioning

              • A strategy to become their own boss, safely and confidently

                • She emphasises that entrepreneurship is not just practical — it is spiritual. It demands courage, self-awareness, and alignment with truth.

                The Real Challenges Women Face

                Katarina breaks down the common issues holding women back:

                • Feeling stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled

                • Fear of leaving a stable job

                • Financial worries

                • Uncertainty about the future

                • Living under someone else’s vision

                • Resistance to change

                • Lack of clarity about purpose

                  • Her message is empowering: These are not signs of failure — they are signs you’re ready for transformation.

                  1. You Are Far More Powerful Than You Think

                    Live every day at 100% and watch your reality shift.

                  4. S1 Ep197: Why So Many Women Are Burning Out — And What To Do About It
                    In this episode, Janeen speaks with licensed mental health counselor and life coach Nikolai Blinow, a specialist in burnout, high-functioning anxiety, and adult ADHD. After spending years in a “good enough” career that left her drained and unfulfilled, Nikolai began exploring the connection between stress and the body, training first as a yoga instructor before becoming a therapist. Today she blends mindfulness, behavioural science, and holistic living to help neurodiverse entrepreneurs and executives find sustainable success in a high-burnout world.

                    Together, Janeen and Nikolai unpack what burnout really is — not a temporary dip in motivation, but a biological and psychological response to chronic stress that leads to emotional exhaustion, detachment, and a declining sense of productivity. Nikolai discusses why burnout is dramatically more common than most women realise and how our conditioning, perfectionism, and cultural pressure to “push harder” keep many women stuck in cycles of overwhelm.

                    A significant part of the conversation explores the powerful but misunderstood link between ADHD and entrepreneurship. Nikolai explains why many high-performing women over 38 may have undiagnosed ADHD, how it shows up differently in women, and why it can both help and hinder business performance. She also offers practical ways to become more observant of your patterns, trust your instincts, and take control of the factors you can influence.

                    In this episode, you’ll discover:

                    • Why burnout is not a sign of weakness but a signal your nervous system is overloaded.

                    • S1 Ep196: Regulation Is the New Resilience: Healing Stress, Betrayal & Burnout
                      Emma Ferris is a physiotherapist, somatic stress coach, and co-creator of the global hit podcast Conning the Con, a show that has reached more than two million listeners worldwide. After experiencing profound betrayal that upended her life, Emma learned firsthand how deeply stress becomes imprinted within the body.
                      She discovered that true resilience isn’t about pushing through — it’s about understanding how the body, mind, and emotions work together to restore safety and balance.

                      In this powerful conversation, Emma explains why so many women live in constant survival mode without even realising it, and why “you can’t out-think an unregulated nervous system.”
                      We explore how chronic stress reshapes behaviour, decision-making, and even leadership — and how survival physiology quietly drives anxiety, overthinking, and overwhelm.

                      Emma shares the essential principles she teaches through The Breath Effect: awareness, kindness, and common humanity. You are not alone. Healing starts with compassion — not perfection.

                      We discuss the lack of education around women’s physiology, including how hormones, cycles, and menopause deeply interact with stress responses. Emma explains how breathwork, somatic tools, and compassion practices can help women reset, reconnect, and rebuild trust within themselves.

                      Her insights on boundaries, trauma recovery, and regulating stress offer practical, science-backed strategies for women wanting to create a calmer, more connected life from within.

                      In this episode, we discuss:

                      - Why women live in survival mode
                      - The truth about nervous system regulation
                      - How betrayal and trauma disrupt safety in the body
                      - Compassion training and the “compassion wave”
                      - Why awareness, kindness, and common humanity matter
                      - Creating boundaries without guilt

                    • S1 Ep195: From Trauma to Triumph: Reclaiming Worth, Strength & Self-Trust with Jo Ransome
                      Jo Ransome is a Trauma Therapy Practitioner and Transformational Coach whose work is deeply shaped by her own extraordinary lived experience. 
                      Having survived childhood sexual abuse, repeated domestic violence, divorce, poverty, and years of carrying unconscious beliefs like “I’m not smart” and “It’s not safe to be seen,” Jo has turned her pain into purpose. 
                      Through TRTP — The Richards Trauma Process — she now helps others release long-held trauma, silence self-sabotage, and step fully into a life they deserve.

                      In our conversation, Jo opens up about the journey from internal chaos to internal liberation.
                      We talk about the weight of shame many women carry and how those silent burdens can lead to hiding, shrinking, and playing small. Jo reminds us that you are not a horrible person — you are someone who has survived.
                      Your past does not define your worth.

                      We explore why slowing down matters, why your energy introduces you before you speak, and why learning to sit with yourself is a powerful act of self-leadership. 
                      Jo shares her insights on boundaries, self-compassion, and why “hurt people hurt people” — and how we can break those generational patterns.

                      She also highlights the importance of hope: the belief that your story can change, that healing is possible, and that you deserve relationships, opportunities, and environments that honour your value.

                      In this episode, we discuss:

                      • Releasing shame and reclaiming your personal power
                      • Why hiding keeps women stuck
                      • The importance of slowing down and regulating your nervous system
                      • Setting boundaries without guilt
                      • Breaking intergenerational patterns
                      • Why every woman deserves hope
                      • How TRTP creates rapid, lasting change

                      • S1 Ep194: Build Teams That Actually Work for You
                        When women lead with clarity, culture, and confidence, they don’t just create results — they create freedom, flexibility, and teams that genuinely care.

                        Ash Does What She Does Because... (Her Story)

                        After more than a decade in recruitment and HR, Ash saw too many women burning out — running businesses, raising families, managing teams, and doing payroll at midnight. That experience inspired the creation of Emerald HQ, built to help women lead differently.

                        Emerald HQ gives women the clarity and structure to move from chaos to confidence — helping them hire the right people the first time, build HR systems that actually work, and develop leadership habits that make business feel lighter, not heavier.

                        Her mission is to empower women to build with intention — creating a business they enjoy and a life they love, with the practical tools, language, and confidence to lead, not just manage.

                        ⚙️ Main Problems Women in Business Face (and How to Overcome Them)

                        💎 1. Leading Without Clarity or Structure

                        Many women step into leadership but never stop “doing.” They confuse control with care and stay stuck in every detail.
                        Fix: Leadership isn’t about letting go — it’s about setting up systems that let your team succeed without you hovering.

                        💎 2. Hiring from Panic, Not Purpose

                        Too many women wait until they’re overwhelmed before hiring help, leading to rushed, poor-fit hires.
                        Fix: Hire before you break. Get clear on what you actually need and how that supports your goals. Clarity first, candidates second.

                        💎 3. Guilt and Burnout

                        Especially for mums in business, the guilt is constant — trying to be everything to everyone.
                        Fix: Boundaries aren’t selfish; they’re leadership. When you know your priorities, it’s easier to say yes to what matters and build a business that supports your life.

                        💎 4. Treating Culture Like a Buzzword

                        Culture isn’t pizza parties or posters — it’s how people act when you’re not in the room.
                        Fix: Define your values, live them daily, and embed them in every action, decision, and conversation.

                        Three Key Takeaways

                        Hire intentionally, not reactively. Hiring isn’t just about finding help — it’s about finding the right people who align with your values and goals, building the foundation for sustainable, trusted teams.

                        Culture doesn’t happen by accident. Every conversation, decision, and boundary you set shapes the culture and determines whether your business runs smoothly or burns you out.

                        Build with intention. Know where you’re going, set boundaries so you can say yes with confidence, and stop doing it all yourself — that’s the key to a business (and life) you truly love.
