697: Why Balance Is a Lie (And What to Do Instead)

Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:46:30 GMT

Balance is a lie. And the pursuit of it might be the very thing burning you out.

This episode is about something most high-achieving women have never been taught: how to manage your load the way elite athletes manage theirs. Not by doing more. Not by optimizing every hour. But by getting radically clear on what this season actually calls for, protecting your energy like it's your most valuable business asset, and releasing the invisible weight you've been carrying so long you've forgotten it's there.

If you're holding a lot right now and wondering why you still feel behind, this episode will name exactly what's happening and give you the tools to change it today.

696: Build Your AI Dream Team For Your Business & Life | Natalie MacNeil

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 02:34:34 GMT

You are not behind. You are not broken. And you do not need to become a tech expert to use AI in a way that actually changes your life. In this episode, I sit down with Natalie MacNeil, Emmy Award-winning media entrepreneur, bestselling author, and one of the most grounded and visionary voices in the online business world, for a conversation that will shift the way you see what is possible right now. Natalie has spent years helping ambitious women build businesses that are both profitable and deeply aligned, and she brings that same clarity, warmth, and strategic depth to everything we explore here. This is not a conversation about AI as a trend. It is a conversation about AI as a tool for liberation.

We talk about where to start, what most women get wrong, and how to use AI in a way that amplifies your voice rather than flattens it. We go into the limiting beliefs quietly holding women back from embracing this era, the practical ways AI can support your content, your home, your travels, and your inner work, and what it really looks like to build an AI dream team that reflects your values and your vision. If you have been curious but hesitant, or dabbling but not yet seeing the results you want, this episode will meet you exactly where you are and show you the way forward. Because when you use AI with intention, it does not take away your magic. It gives you more space to live it.

695: 8 Unhinged Wellness Hacks That Make Me More Successful

Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:39:23 GMT

What if the habits that make you the most successful… look a little unhinged from the outside? In this solo episode, I’m sharing the wellness rituals I swear by, the ones that might seem extra, quirky, or unnecessary, but have completely changed my energy, focus, and ability to stay grounded when life is full. Because I’ve learned this the hard way: success isn’t strategy. It’s capacity. It’s nervous system support that lets you hold more without cracking, lead without spiralling, and show up with clarity when the calendar is packed and the stakes are real.

Inside, I’ll walk you through what I actually do behind the scenes to protect my sleep, reduce decision fatigue, and make my days feel cleaner and calmer. I’ll share a few of my most “unhinged” ones, plus the simple nightly reset that makes tomorrow easier before it even starts. If you’ve been doing all the “right” things and still feel tired, stretched, or one small inconvenience away from snapping, this episode will give you practical, permission-filled ideas you can start using immediately.

694: The Hidden Root Cause of Fatigue, Burnout & Hormone Imbalance | Dr Stephen Cabral

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 22:02:16 GMT

What if the key to better energy, deeper sleep, and a calmer nervous system was already inside your body, waiting to be understood?

In this episode, I sit down with functional medicine expert Dr. Stephen Cabral to explore how simple lab testing can reveal powerful insights about your health. We talk about the five key labs that help you understand what’s really happening in your body, why heavy metals are showing up more often, and how mineral deficiencies can quietly drain your energy.

We also dive into motherhood, nervous system burnout, and the reality that many parents forget to nourish themselves after having kids. Dr. Cabral shares practical tools to help you repair a fried nervous system, improve your sleep, and calm stress quickly when life feels overwhelming.

This conversation is packed with simple, practical wisdom to help you better understand your body and support your health from the inside out.

693: Why Your Brain Feels Broken (And What It’s Actually Trying to Tell You)

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 01:24:44 GMT

So many high-performing women look capable on the outside. Business running. Kids fed. Life moving. But internally? Overwhelmed. Second-guessing. Consuming more information yet trusting themselves less.

In this episode, I unpack why the real issue often isn’t strategy — it’s your nervous system. When you’re under sustained pressure, your brain looks for certainty. So you consume more. Ask more opinions. Save more posts. But clarity isn’t found in more input. Clarity is a nervous system outcome.

I share the subtle signs you’re outsourcing your intuition, why overconsumption quietly erodes self-trust, and the simple shift from calibration over consumption. You’ll learn my “One Decision, One Action” practice and a powerful 3-sentence reset you can use in real time to rebuild clean inner authority.

If you’re a mother building a business or a woman carrying a lot, this episode will feel like exhale. You’re not broken. You’re overloaded. And there is a calmer, more grounded way to lead yourself.

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 02:12:00 GMT

If you’re building a business but feeling stretched, time-poor, or unsure what actually drives long-term success, this episode will land. Entrepreneur and investor Jack Delosa joins me for a powerful conversation on why entrepreneurs really fail, what it takes to scale without burning out, and the 2026 shifts you need to know if you want to stay ahead.

We talk mindset, identity, resilience, and seasons of prioritisation, plus the real-world dynamics that shape how you lead. Jack shares his perspective on masculine and feminine energy in business, tall poppy syndrome, surrounding yourself with the right people, and why he believes traditional schooling isn’t the only path for his children. Press play and let this expand how you think about business and your life.

691: The 60-Second Filter to Stop Overcommitting in Business & Life

Fri, 13 Feb 2026 03:31:53 GMT

So many of us feel full. Calendars full. Inboxes full. Minds full. And yet we keep committing. To the invite, the project, the opportunity, the thing that looks good on paper but feels heavy in your body.

In this episode, I share the simple 60-second filter I run before I add anything new. Four questions that cut through overwhelm, prevent resentment, and keep your business and life aligned with your actual capacity. If you have ever said yes and instantly regretted it, or wondered why your life feels so full but not deeply fulfilling, this one is for you.

690: Burnout, Meaning & The Relentless Pursuit of More | Keren Eldad

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 19:31:10 GMT

If you’re succeeding on paper but feeling flat, wired, or quietly exhausted, this episode will land. Executive coach and spiritual teacher Keren Eldad joins me for a conversation that cuts through the noise and gets to the real root of burnout. We talk about the relentless pursuit of “more,” the hidden cost of being a high performer, and why peace and purpose start with better questions, not bigger goals.

Keren blends psychology, Kabbalah, and grounded compassion to help you dismantle sloppy thinking and come home to yourself. You’ll learn how to begin self-inquiry without overwhelm, why self-compassion has to come before growth, what Tikkun really means, and what to do when you’re in a dark place. We also explore soulmates, redefining success from the inside out, and the simple daily practices that keep you anchored. Press play, and let this one shift something deep.

689: Stop Pushing: Your Nervous System Is Why You’re Overwhelmed

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 02:20:25 GMT

What if the reason you feel overwhelmed isn’t a lack of discipline, but a lack of capacity? In this powerful solo episode, I’m inviting you to lead your life like a calm, regulated CEO. Not from hustle. Not from force. But from safety, presence, and nervous system support. So many women are trying to build big lives on exhausted systems, then wondering why everything feels hard. Today, I’m breaking down the shifts that help you expand your capacity, regulate your nervous system, and lead yourself with clarity and power.

You’ll learn what capacity actually is and how your nervous system shapes what you can hold, the key difference between discipline and regulation, and the CEO Reset model for coming back to calm in the moments you feel overstimulated. I’ll also share the three daily rhythms that create sustainable energy, the boundaries that protect the CEO within you, and the core truths to anchor into every day, especially if you’ve been feeling snappy, scattered, touched-out, or like you’re constantly behind.

688: Your Child Is Sick: Here’s What to Do & When to Get Help | Dr Golly

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 04:25:03 GMT

When your child gets sick, it can feel unsettling fast. Your mind races. Your confidence wobbles. And suddenly you’re questioning every decision.

In this episode, I’m joined by paediatrician Dr Golly for a calm, grounding conversation every parent needs. We talk about how to tell when your child needs medical support and when you can safely care for them at home.

We explore the must-haves for your at-home kit, Dr Golly’s perspective on homeopathy, and when it’s supportive to intervene instead of letting an illness run its course.

We also dive into immunity. From everyday exposure to bugs, to chickenpox, to simple ways to strengthen your child’s immune system over time.

And just as importantly, we talk about you. The parent. Your energy. Your wellbeing. And why releasing guilt and filling your own cup matters more than you think.

This episode will leave you feeling informed, empowered, and calmer the next time your child isn’t well.

Because you don’t need more fear.

You need clarity, compassion, and trust in yourself.

687: The Good Girl Hangover: When “Being Nice” Starts Costing You

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 22:28:16 GMT

Have you ever said yes when you meant no, held it together, and then felt flat or resentful afterward?

That feeling is what I call the good girl hangover.

In this episode, I share what the good girl hangover really is, why it sneaks up on so many women, and how the pattern quietly pulls you away from your truth. We explore the subtle signs you’re in a good girl season and why overgiving often feels safer than being honest.

I also walk you through three simple but powerful shifts to help you step out of people-pleasing without guilt, self-judgment, or swinging into rebellion. These shifts bring you back into self-trust, clarity, and emotional safety.

This conversation is a loving invitation to stop abandoning yourself to be liked and start choosing honesty instead.

You don’t need to become harder.

You just need to become truer.

686: Dr Shefali on The Truth About What Screens Are Doing to Kids

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 19:00:00 GMT

Your child’s brain is being shaped by a screen more than by you. And it’s happening in tiny moments you barely notice. The “just five minutes.” The quick reset. The quiet in the back seat. But those minutes add up. And they teach your child what comfort is. What connection is. And where to go when they feel bored, restless, lonely, or overwhelmed.

In this episode, we get brutally honest about technology, children, and self-worth. We unpack what constant stimulation can do to a child’s nervous system, identity, and sense of belonging. And we talk about what builds real connection instead. I also share what it’s been like raising my children without screens, why we chose that path, and what it has taught me about boredom, creativity, presence, and trust. This isn’t about demonising technology. It’s about awareness and intention. Because our children don’t need more stimulation. They need more presence. If you’re a parent, caregiver, or planning a family one day, press play now.

684: Become Your Highest Self (Guided Meditation)

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 22:42:47 GMT

This meditation is an invitation to come home to who you truly are, not who you think you should be, not who the world has asked you to become, but the most grounded, expansive, loving version of you. Your highest self already exists within you; she is calm, she is clear, and she is deeply connected to her intuition and her truth.

In this episode, I guide you through a gentle yet powerful meditation designed to help you embody that version of yourself right now, not someday, not when you’re “ready,” but today. This is a practice you can return to whenever you feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of your next step, and it’s especially supportive if you’re calling in more alignment, confidence, self-trust, or inner peace.

Find a quiet space, get comfortable, and allow yourself to fully receive as you move through a grounding practice to settle your nervous system and arrive in the present moment, a guided visualisation to connect with your highest self and her energy, an opportunity to embody clarity, confidence, and calm at a cellular level, gentle prompts to anchor this version of you into everyday life, and a feeling of deep nourishment, alignment, and inner safety.

683: Marianne Williamson on Choosing Love When the World Feels Uncertain

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 03:37:41 GMT

Feeling disconnected from religion… yet deeply drawn to something more? Curious about Jesus, but blocked by the language, the dogma, or past experiences? This isn’t about believing the “right” thing. It’s about remembering the truth beneath it all. In this powerful episode, I sit down with spiritual teacher and bestselling author Marianne Williamson to explore Jesus as a mystic, love as a practice, and what spiritual awakening really looks like in modern life.

Marianne shares how to move beyond words like God or Jesus if they feel activating, and instead connect with the universal principles that sit at the heart of all true spirituality. We talk about the current state of the world and the inner work it’s calling us into, why living your values matters more than preaching them, and how discipline and devotion can become anchors for anxiety and emotional overwhelm. We also explore parenting by embodiment, simple daily practices to stay connected to spirit, and what inspired Marianne’s midlife awakening and latest book. If you’re yearning for deeper meaning, less fear, and a love-based way of living that feels inclusive and real, this conversation will open something inside you.

682: Why You Don’t Feel Seen In Love & Healing Attachment Wounds | Jessica Baum

Wed, 10 Dec 2025 04:34:59 GMT

Terrified of being abandoned… or suffocated… or never truly chosen in love? That’s not you being “too much” or “not enough.” That’s your attachment wounds talking. In this powerful episode, I sit down with psychotherapist and attachment expert Jessica Baum, LMHC, to unpack why you feel the way you do in relationships, and how to finally feel safe in your own skin and with the people you love.

Jessica breaks down attachment styles in a way that feels like someone turning the lights on in a dark room. You’ll learn why you get anxious, avoidant, or shut down, what “earned security” really means, how to anchor your nervous system when you don’t have a safe person, and how somatic work helps trauma leave your body instead of ruling your life. We also explore what to do when someone you trusted isn’t safe, and how to parent with presence so your kids grow up with a rock-solid sense of “I am worthy of love.”

If your relationships, health, business, and self-worth feel tangled up in old pain, press play. This conversation is your roadmap back to safety, belonging, and secure love.

681: Stop Doing These 5 Things That Destroy Your Confidence

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:57:42 GMT

If your confidence feels low and you don’t know why, you’re probably doing 5 tiny things every day that quietly destroy it. In this powerful solo episode, I walk you through the hidden habits that slowly erode your self-belief without you even realising. They seem small. They look “normal.” But they shape how you think, speak, choose, and show up in every area of your life. Once you can see them, you can stop them. We explore the inner patterns that make you shrink, second-guess yourself, and feel like you’re never quite enough, no matter how much you do. You’ll discover what your body is trying to tell you, how these patterns formed in the first place, and the simple shifts I use to rebuild trust with myself from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or constantly hard on yourself, this conversation will shine a light on what’s really going on beneath the surface. By the end, you’ll know the 5 things to stop doing so you can protect your energy, rebuild your confidence, and finally step back into your power.

680: Spirit Babies, Miscarriage, Mastering Your Psychic Abilities & Trusting Your Intuition | Emily Greene

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 01:32:07 GMT

Some conversations crack your heart open in the best way. This one did exactly that. Today I sit down with spirit baby psychic medium Emily Greene for a deep, grounded, soulful journey into intuition, conception, communication with spirit babies, and the unseen world that so many women feel but can’t quite name.

Emily has supported thousands of families across the globe. Her work is tender, precise, and surprisingly practical. And in this episode she shares how she first discovered the spirit baby realm, how these souls communicate, why intuition is our birthright, and what parents can do to help their children stay connected to their inner knowing.

We also explore miscarriage through the lens of the soul’s journey, how spirit babies choose their path, and whether they can share details like their name, timing, or the way they hope to come through. If you’ve ever felt a whisper, a nudge, a presence, or a sense that a baby is around you, this conversation will feel like home.

Inside, you’ll also hear a piece of my own story—how I found spirit baby psychics years ago, and how that guidance shaped my path into motherhood.

Settle in. This is a heart-expanding one.

In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with Monica and Michael Berg, authors, spiritual teachers, and directors of The Kabbalah Centre, to explore how Kabbalah helps us move beyond fear, deepen our faith, and live with greater awareness.

We unpack how this timeless wisdom complements any belief system, the truth about manifestation, the power of prayer, parenting through presence, and how to quiet your inner Mean Girl so you can live from light, not fear.

677: Live Longer With Chinese Medicine | Jiaming Ju

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 01:00:00 GMT

What if you could live longer, age slower, and glow from the inside out without chasing fads or fighting your body?

In this illuminating conversation, I sit down with Jiaming Ju, a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and researcher who reveals how ancient Chinese wisdom can heal your body, balance your emotions, and awaken your natural vitality.

Born in China and now practicing in the West, Jiaming bridges two worlds, ancient healing and modern science, to show us that longevity isn’t luck or genetics… it’s rhythm, awareness, and daily choices.

Together, we unpack how your energy systems shape everything from your skin and sleep to your hormones and mood. You’ll learn why prevention (not treatment) is the secret to graceful aging, and how simple rituals like mindful eating, herbal support, and deep rest can restore your body’s natural harmony.

If you’ve ever felt curious about how to heal at the root, or you’re craving more energy, balance, and radiance, this episode is your invitation to experience medicine as art, energy, and deep remembrance.

675: The Truth About Tantrums, Screens & Raising Emotionally Strong Kids | Ashleigh Warner

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 20:00:00 GMT

What if your child’s “challenging” behaviour wasn’t a problem to fix, but a message to understand?

In this beautiful and deeply grounding episode, I sit down with holistic psychologist and conscious parenting expert Ashleigh Warner to explore what it really means to raise emotionally safe, connected, and confident children. Together we unpack how to look beneath behaviour to find the deeper needs, how to hold space for big feelings, and how to bring more calm, compassion, and presence into everyday parenting moments.

Ashleigh shares her wisdom on screens, tantrums, bedtime battles, and those tender seasons of dependence that invite us to slow down and surrender. This is a conversation that will help you see your child through a softer, wiser lens—and remind you that what they need most isn’t perfection or control, but you.

674: The Truth About “Having It All” As A Modern Mother | Cait Scudder

Thu, 02 Oct 2025 04:36:02 GMT

648: Fallen Out of Love With Your Business? Here’s How to Get Your Spark Back

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 00:24:58 GMT

Every entrepreneur goes through periods where they feel disconnected from or fall out of love with their business.

It's a common struggle that sneaks up on even the best of us, even if it’s not talked about very often.

Over my 13+ years working with women entrepreneurs, I've seen this happen time and again — and I've even been there myself too.

It can be hard to know what to do when you’re in that headspace — Should you keep pushing forward anyway? Call it quits? Bury your head in the sand and hope things get better?!

If you relate to any of this, there’s the good news: it's entirely possible to rekindle that spark and fall back in love with your business.

Press play to learn how.

646: What Hiding Is Really Costing You—& How to Break Free

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 22:32:10 GMT

Is your fear of being visible holding you back from the success you know you’re capable of?

Maybe you avoid going live on social media. Perhaps you struggle to post consistently. Or maybe you’ve never gone ‘all in’ on showing up as the face of your business.

Whatever version of this you’re struggling with, it’s likely NOT because you don’t have enough information or you’re not sure of what strategy to use… it’s likely caused by a hefty dose of self-doubt, fear of visibility, and concern about what people will think of you.

And I get it — Will your followers judge you? Criticize you? Doubt your expertise? Every single one of us who shows up on social media has grappled with these same questions at one point, so if you’re nodding your head right now, you’re certainly not alone.

BUT — and this is a really important ‘but’ — the people who are kicking goals and growing their impact (and income!) do one thing differently:

They refuse to stay invisible. They feel the discomfort, show up anyway, and keep moving forward. Because they know that every time they hide, they delay their business growth, keep their gifts from the world, and make it harder for their dream clients to find them.

So if you’ve been holding yourself back in this way, let’s fix that now.

In this episode, I’m walking you through some of my best-ever hacks for overcoming the fear of visibility. If you’re ready to stop playing small and start showing up powerfully in your business, then press play now… this one’s for you!

642: Why Work-Life Balance Is a Myth (& What to Aim for Instead)

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:00:00 GMT

You’ve probably heard the term “work-life balance” tossed around like confetti at a parade.

And it sounds nice in theory, right?

But trying to keep everything perfectly “balanced” is like trying to juggle glass balls while riding a unicycle — it’s difficult, it’s exhausting, and let’s be honest: pretty soon, something (or someone!) is going to crash.

So instead of striving for balance, what if we aimed for work-life harmony?

Wed, 21 Aug 2024 11:00:13 GMT

Why do certain patterns from our childhood keep showing up in our adult life?

Is it possible to break free from these inherited behaviors?

And how can we heal those old wounds to transform the way we live and love?

To answer these pivotal questions, I’m joined by the brilliant Vienna Pharaon, a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of The Origins of You, who’s back for her second appearance on the show.

Tune in to learn: how to identify and address the wounds from your past, the vital importance of truly feeling your emotions, how to begin your healing process, powerful strategies to rebuild self-trust when you’ve let yourself down, and why your past does not need to define your future.

So if you’re seeking to understand yourself on a deeper level, break free from unhealed wounds, and liberate the way you live and love, then press play now… this one’s for you.

589: Making $70M with Chat Funnels & Automated DMs | Natasha Willis

Wed, 19 Jun 2024 11:00:39 GMT

Want to know the marketing strategy that’s changed the game in my business?

Automated DMs.

This is a strategy you’ve probably seen in action before on social media, even if you didn’t quite know how it worked — or how powerful it was.

At the most basic level, it works like this: a social media account will say something like “Comment RECIPE” in their post. Then when you comment, an automated bot instantly sends you the recipe inside your DMs.

But let me tell you, there is SO much more to this strategy than just that. (When I say that it’s “changed the game” in my business, I really do mean it!)

So to dive deep into this hugely powerful marketing technique, I'm joined by Natasha Willis, a genius marketing strategist and the co-founder of School of Bots.

Natasha has helped online businesses (including mine) generate millions in revenue — over $65M all up — through her automated DM strategies, and now she's here to share her secrets with us.

In this massively inspiring conversation, you’ll learn how to introduce chat funnels into your own business, where to start with automated DMs, who can benefit the most from bots, the most successful strategies (and costliest mistakes) that she wants everyone to know before they dip their toes in, and how this strategy can help everyone from internet big-timers to small-town solopreneurs unlock millions in previously untapped revenue.

So if you’re looking to boost your sales, explode your lead generation and expand your content reach WITHOUT being chained to your laptop, then press play now… this one’s for you.

528: The World’s Most Influential Philosopher On Ethical Eating | Peter Singer

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 00:00:00 GMT

What is our responsibility to animals?

Is there a way to consciously source and consume animal products? Or are we sacrificing the health of our planet for the sake of a few hamburgers?

As the climate crisis grows in urgency, so too do these ethical dilemmas.

Answering these questions, however, can often feel confusing, overwhelming… or even downright disheartening. Until, that is, you hear the wisdom and expert reasoning of Peter Singer — an expert in bioethics who’s not only known as the world’s most influential living philosopher, but is also the founding father of the modern animal rights and effective altruism movements.

In this eye-opening episode, Peter sheds light on the modern-day challenges of making conscious, empowered eating choices. He provides clear, simple answers to some of the biggest ethical questions that might be keeping you up at night: Is animal liberation our responsibility? Is it possible to be a conscious omnivore? What secrets is the meat industry hiding from us? Why is it so easy to turn a blind eye to this issue? Are small improvements enough? And what changes should we be focusing on first?

I loved so much about this conversation, but I think the thing I enjoyed *most* was Peter’s thoughts on how much impact we can make, purely by making more intentional choices and striving for a kinder, more aware existence.

So if you want to regain your sense of hope for our planet — and learn how to make better choices for every living creature on it, including the next generation — then do not miss this illuminating chat with Peter Singer.

522: Behind The Scenes Of My Work-Life Dance When Life Threw Me A Curveball

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 00:00:00 GMT

Most of us wear a LOT of hats in our life. For me, my hats include mama, wife, CEO… and that’s just for starters!

Doing the dance between those roles can be a LOT. (It’s often called a “juggle” for a reason — it can feel like you’ve got a heap of balls in the air, and if you drop one, it might just shatter.)

Though there’s a lot of talk in our culture about “work-life balance”, we don’t often get to *see* the behind-the-scenes stuff that goes into navigating all the different areas of life. (I also don’t even love the word ‘balance’ in this context, because very often, it’s *not* balanced, and that’s okay!)

So in this episode, I’m getting super real and raw with you, to share how I personally navigated the dance between my roles as mama and CEO during a particularly challenging time.

To give you a brief rundown: Nick was away, my daughter got sick, then I got sick too. On top of that, there was a lot going on in my business as well. All up, it was BIG, and hard which needed a lot of surrender, leaning on my village, and feeling my way through it all.

Of course, this sort of roller coaster time isn’t unique; SO many women go through similar experiences all the time (and single parents, I bow down to you, you are absolute rockstars!).

So I’m sharing this not because my situation was all that unusual, but because there can be so much value in admitting when things are hard, in sharing the reality of life in the trenches, and in showing that everyone struggles sometimes.

So here is an unvarnished, honest look at my dance between work-life and mama-life during a recent hard time. If you're in the thick of a tough season or simply want to be prepared for when life throws you a curveball, this episode is for you.

519: POPULAR EPISODE: 7 Steps To Healing The Mother Wound | Bethany Webster

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 00:02:14 GMT

Do you have limiting beliefs around motherhood and what it means to be a mama?

These beliefs could be anything, like — “a good mother needs to put herself last”, or “you should enjoy every moment of motherhood” or even “it’s crucial to get your pre-baby body back quickly”.

So many of us have beliefs like this. Sometimes we inherit them from our own mothers, sometimes they’re fed to us from society, and sometimes they get embedded in our brains without us even knowing.

To help us explore and dismantle them, I’ve opened up the vault and pulled out one of the most downloaded episodes of the show EVER, with the incredible Bethany Webster.

Bethany says this way of thinking stems from the ‘Mother Wound’ — the inherited pain of being a woman in a patriarchal culture. And in today’s episode, she’s guiding us through the process of healing this wound, ditching our dysfunctional coping mechanisms, and expanding our idea of what it means to be a mama.

Known as a ‘midwife of the heart’, Bethany Webster is a writer, transformational coach and international speaker. Her work has filled a crucial gap in our understanding of women’s lives by blending cutting-edge research on intergenerational trauma, feminist theory, and psychology to comprehensively define the Mother Wound.

Bethany’s insights in this conversation blew me away. I was nodding along like crazy, as she described so perfectly what it’s like to be a woman in this world and how many damaging beliefs we can absorb without even realizing. Whether you are a mama, want to be a mama, have a mama, or just want to understand yourself and the women in your life better, you’ll find veins of gold throughout this podcast, and I can’t wait for you to listen.

So if you want to heal your ancestral wounds, actualize your full potential, and redefine your own relationship with motherhood, this conversation is for you.

516: Melissa's Lab Results Revealed & Prepping for Baby #2 | Dr Stephen Cabral

Tue, 06 Jun 2023 00:00:00 GMT

This episode kicks off with some big news that’s extremely close to my heart: I'm getting ready to start making Baby #2 a reality!

As soon as Nick and I made the decision that we were ready for another baby, our first port of call was Dr Stephen Cabral, my most trusted health adviser and mentor. His sage advice and comprehensive testing were instrumental in helping us get pregnant last time, so it was a no-brainer to call on his expertise again as we embark on this journey for a second time.

The first thing Stephen did was recommend 5 specific lab tests to evaluate my body's readiness for conception.

And in this extremely insightful (and deeply personal) episode, he’s going through the results of my labs live on the show.

Listen in as we walk you through each of the tests – explaining why they're so important, how to optimize your results, and, of course, revealing the findings from my own labs (and how the results have shifted since I last did these tests).

We also dive into the protocols and health hacks that can give your biomarkers a boost, fire up your fertility, and have you primed and ready for conception and a healthy pregnancy.

I was so nervous to press record and then publish on this episode, but I’m so glad I did. This is a truly fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of our bodies, and how they prepare for something as miraculous as creating a new life.

So whether you're planning on a baby soon, hoping for one in the future, or just interested in understanding your body better, this is an eye-opening episode that you don't want to miss.

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 17:14:15 GMT

Want to discover a new way of parenting that can not only transform your relationship with your child… but also your relationship with yourself?

It's called Connection Parenting, and it's a philosophy that's taken the parenting world by storm.

To help us delve deeper into this game-changing approach, I’m joined by Pam Leo, a parenting expert and family literacy activist who literally wrote the book on Connection Parenting.

Press play to learn how to raise children who won’t need to ‘recover’ from their childhood, why modern parenting techniques have moved away from the old-school model of punishment and reward, how to break free from destructive parenting patterns you may have inherited from your own parents, how to create a more harmonious and fulfilling family dynamic, what a child having a meltdown is actually trying to tell you, how to help your child develop a strong sense of resilience, practical tips for incorporating connection-based parenting into your daily routine, and what children *really* need to thrive.

Tue, 07 Mar 2023 18:16:13 GMT

Some people have the Midas touch. Sophia Amoruso is one of them. She started her first business, a tiny ebay store, when she was broke and scrounging in dumpsters for her next meal.

502: The Magic Of Numerology, Cracking Your Cosmic Code, & Clearing Karmic Debt | Kaitlyn Kaerhart

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 17:01:13 GMT

You know your astrological sign… but do you know your numbers?

Your numbers can predict so much about your life: your strengths and weaknesses, the ‘luckiest’ times to take action, who you’re most compatible with, your true life path, and what ‘themes’ will play out for you throughout each month and year.

But how do you discover your numbers? How can you decipher their meaning? And how can you work *with* them to achieve the outcomes you most desire?

To answer these questions, I’m joined by world-renowned numerologist Kaitlyn Kaerhart, whose bestselling numerology book is beloved by celebrities like Winona Ryder and Taylor Swift.

Tune in to have your mind blown as we discuss: how to understand your ‘life path number’, navigating your ‘personal year cycles’, how to use numerology to radically boost your manifesting, how to know if there’s a karmic debt attached to your name, the role of numerology in relationships, and what your “angel numbers” (those repeating numbers you always see) actually mean.

495: POPULAR EPISODE: How To Manifest Anything You Want | Lacy Phillips

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 19:14:08 GMT

This week, we’re continuing our look back at the most popular episodes of the show EVER.

This time, it’s the second most downloaded episode ever and it’s a deep-dive into the life-changing magic of manifesting.

In this conversation, Lacy Phillips takes all our outdated beliefs about manifestation, debunks them, and reveals the pieces of the process we’ve been missing. Along the way, she shares her unique and reliable formula for calling in your soul’s deepest desires and making them your reality.

One of the reasons I think this episode was so insanely popular is how unique Lacy’s approach to manifesting is. The difference between her approach and the usual stock-standard technique is truly like chalk and (activated cashew) cheese. Instead of the usual edicts to “think positive and visualize!", Lacy is all about helping you connect back with your authentic self and dismantle the societal programming, labels, and molds that don't align with your true nature. (And spoiler alert: it’s these extra steps that turbocharge your manifesting and turn you into a magnet for your desires.)

So if you want to rewire your limiting beliefs, manifest *exactly* what you want, and create abundance in all areas of your life, don’t waste another minute: pop in those earbuds and press play! Whether it’s your first time listening to this epic conversation, or whether it’s a re-listen, you’re sure to glean amazing insights and strategies that can quite literally change your life.

469: Mastering the Art of Soulful Step-Parenting & Creating Loving Boundaries | Alyssa Nobriga

Tue, 16 Aug 2022 15:21:31 GMT

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned since becoming a mother is there’s no perfect way to parent. No matter your role - step parent, adopted parent, parent or otherwise. There’s no such thing as ‘perfect’. In fact you can delete that word from your vocabulary right now.

Becoming a stepmama has been one of the biggest gifts, lessons and areas of growth of my life. Step parenting ain’t for the faith hearted, it’s for the BIG hearted and I truly believe, it has been integral in my journey of becoming a mother to my baby girl.

Join me for this super heartfelt and vulnerable conversation with a dear friend of mine, Alyssa Nobriga where we delve into the truth about being a ‘bonus parent’ and break down all the stigmas of what it means to be a stepmama. We talk about what it means to be a soulful step parent, how to deal with messy step situations, respecting boundaries, how to honour your truth and build a beautfiul blened family and what it takes to not only THRIVE as a step mama, but how to show up with heart and intention.

465: Mold, EMFs, Toxic Chemicals & How To Create A Healthy Home | Nicole Bijlsma

Tue, 19 Jul 2022 15:36:41 GMT

Is your home secretly harbouring toxic health hazards like mold, EMFs, and harmful chemicals? It’s not nice to think that where you live could be hurting you and your family, but according to today’s guest, Nicole Bijlsma — a world leading expert on building biology and environmental exposure — many of our homes are like ‘loaded guns’ when it comes to the toxic burdens they place on our bodies.

Luckily, there are LOADS of simple, doable, inexpensive things you can do to identify and fix toxic problems in your home — as well as to prevent them from taking hold in the first place. So in this episode, Nicole is here to walk us through everything we need to know to ensure our living spaces are as happy, healthy and allergy-free as possible.

Tune in to hear what REALLY causes mold and what to do about it, the horrifying number of health issues linked to common household items and building materials, the scary truth about the EMF radiation coming from your cell phone, what every parent MUST know before buying a baby monitor, what wifi is *really* doing to your body, how to design and build your dream home to ensure it’s as healthy and allergy-free as possible, what to do when there’s a mold outbreak (all my Aussie friends MUST listen to this bit especially!) and how to ensure that your bathroom and kitchen aren’t secretly hurting your health.

464: Falling In Love With Fear, Evolving Into Your Best Self, Letting Go Of Guilt | Kyle Cease

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 17:01:34 GMT

What happens when comedy meets transformation?

You might not expect a comedian to have the answers to some of life’s biggest questions. But then, Kyle Cease is no ordinary comedian.

Kyle Cease is evolving out loud.

After over 20 years of chasing what he thought was his dream — appearing in blockbuster movies and headlining comedy specials, Kyle suddenly realized that he was following the wrong path, and that he’d been accidentally postponing his happiness the whole time.

Heeding the call of his soul, he abruptly quit his stand-up career (despite being at the pinnacle of his profession) and reinvented himself as a ‘transformational comedian’ and New York Times bestselling author.

In this profound, moving, and (of course) very funny conversation, Kyle is sharing his one-of-a-kind wisdom and hardwon lessons on transformation and self-growth. Tune in to hear the deeply personal story of how I first discovered his work, the four little words you can use to transform your mental self-talk, his powerful reframe when you’re going through a loss or break up, why chasing money is stopping you from receiving it, dealing with guilt as a parent (and why it hits differently for mothers), and why falling in love with your fears can change *everything* about your life.

Do you ever wish you could better understand the messages the Universe is trying to send you?

That you could tap into the ancient wisdom and divine guidance of the spirit world?

And that you knew how to awaken the sacred, spiritual gifts that live inside you?

Alyson Charles is a shaman revered for her ability to channel messages from both the spirit world and the natural world. In particular, she’s known for her uncanny ability to communicate the messages and insights of ‘power animals’.

Well, if you’ve ever dreamt about an animal, or kept repeatedly encountering one in your life — a butterfly, a bird, whatever — it can be a sign that there’s a deeper spiritual message trying to come through. Alyson is THE authority on decoding the messages from these ‘power animals’, and she’s walking us through her exact process in this mind blowing, heart expanding episode.

Tune in to hear why animals are such powerful portals to the spirit world, how to tap into the wisdom of your highest self, why ‘soul retrieval’ work is one of the most powerful healing modalities on the planet, a hugely effective spiritual technique for calling in your soul mate, a new approach to inner child work for radical self growth, and what life is REALLY like as a world famous shaman.

462: 8 Things I Thought I Would Never Do As A Mama | Melissa Ambrosini

Thu, 30 Jun 2022 18:37:44 GMT

Before I was even pregnant, I had preconceived ideas about the kind of mother I’d be, and what I would and would not do as a parent. (I think many of us do!)

Today, in this solo episode, I want to unpack those expectations I’d placed on myself — and how it is that I came to do some of the EXACT things I swore I’d never do.

I think it’s so empowering to talk about this kind of stuff — about letting ourselves evolve, adapt and change our minds; about acknowledging that sometimes, despite our best intentions, a certain choice hasn’t worked out the way we thought; and about doing what’s best for our children and ourselves, even if that ‘best’ is not what we originally envisioned.

So press play to hear my very intimate, very vulnerable, personal account of 8 things that I thought I’d NEVER do since becoming a mama… but which actually turned out to be exactly what my baby, my family and I needed. From having our daughter on a set routine, to packing away our Montessori floor bed (for now!), to sleeping in a separate bedroom from Nick, this is our family’s story. Enjoy.

Tue, 28 Jun 2022 18:45:26 GMT

How are you, really? Jenna Kutcher wants to know.

Jenna is a small-town Minnesota mama obsessed with all things marketing who turned a $300 Craigslist camera into a seven-figure empire. She also has a #1 rated podcast with *millions* of downloads, a suite of massively popular online products and programs, and a soon-to-be-bestselling book (not to mention a rock solid marriage and two gorgeous kids!).

But when I sat down behind the mic with her for this episode (her second appearance on the show!) I didn’t want to pick her brains about “how to build a global brand” or the “15 marketing tips she swears by”, I wanted to delve into all of the OTHER stuff that makes all her hard work worth it — the behind-the-scenes *juicy* stuff that we so rarely get to hear from someone THIS successful.

And let me tell you, she did not disappoint.

Tune in to this HUGELY inspiring interview to hear the divine Ms Kutcher’s insights on what to do when you’re struck by ‘mama guilt’, her take on “doing it all”, the support systems she has in place that make business and mamahood possible, why she didn’t tell anyone she was writing this book, her surprising creative process, how she’s intentionally creating her own experience of motherhood, the books she wants everyone to read, her secret to massively fulfilling friendships, how she slowly uncovered her ‘why’ (and how you can dig up your own too), how she’s fuelled by both peace and purpose, and what it takes to build a life you TRULY love.

And in this mind blowing, heart expanding episode, Celeste Mergens — founder of the incredible not-for-profit, ‘Days For Girls’ — is sharing the remarkable story of how she and her team are working to end Period Poverty by increasing access to period products, providing holistic menstrual health education in communities around the globe, and creating Menstrual Equity for all.

Tue, 17 May 2022 18:21:39 GMT

When it comes to parenting, there is a LOT of noise out there. From feeding, to sleeping, to screen time, it seems like *everybody* has an opinion… It can feel very overwhelming at times.

But what if we could quieten all that noise and tune into our own inner knowing as a parent?

What if we could embrace a more natural, intuitive style of parenting — one that was based in gentleness, joy and connection?

And what if we quit trying to be a “good parent” based on other people’s standards, and instead, became the conscious, evolved parent that our children need us to be?

To help us learn more, I’m joined by Tracy Gillett — a writer, parenting advocate, and founder of the award-winning blog, Raised Good. Tracy is a world-renowned teacher of ‘the lost art of natural parenting’. This beautiful, life-changing model of raising kids can revolutionise your experience of motherhood and help you raise happy, well-adjusted children. And in this inspiring episode, she’s walking us through exactly how to do it.

Tune in to hear the best way to cultivate your intuition as a mother, why gentle parenting does NOT mean having no boundaries, how your parenting choices impact your child’s lifelong development, genius techniques for eliminating ‘mama guilt’ from your life, plus 5 natural parenting secrets that make kids want to cooperate WITHOUT using time-outs, threats or punishment.

What’s the best way to nurture our friendships to ensure they stay healthy and aligned? How can we make new friends as adults, and deepen the connections we already have? And for the love of raw chocolate brownies, WHAT should we do when a friendship turns unhealthy?!

To answer all these questions, I’m joined by the incredible Erin Falconer, associate psychotherapist and author of one of the best books I’ve ever read about friendship, ‘How To Break-Up With Your Friends’.

Mon, 09 May 2022 01:59:38 GMT

Welcome to another epic ‘couples pod’! This time, Nick is joining me behind the mic for a juicy life update.

We love pulling back the curtains like this, so that we can share what’s been going on behind the scenes, chat about all the new stuff we’ve been testing out in our daily routines, and also dig into the stuff we’ve been reevaluating or even struggling with.

Tune in to hear about Nick’s exciting new music project ENOBE, how his creative process has evolved, what’s next for us in crypto, the health hack giving us major results (seriously, this one tip alone is a game-changer!), the recipe we’re obsessed with right now, and a slew of outstanding books and podcasts that have rocked our world recently.

And because life is always a mix of yin and yang (and because transparency is one of our core values), we’re also discussing my inner debate about whether to share our daughter on social media, the limiting thoughts that have been popping up for us, and some exciting news about our home… that led to Nick feeling financially stretched.

451: Best Ever Relationship Advice, The Truth About Cheating, How To Save Your Marriage with The Couple’s Whisperer | Bruce Muzik

Tue, 03 May 2022 17:00:14 GMT

Why is it that the person we love the most can also trigger us the most?! Why is it so easy for relationships to get derailed by petty arguments and bickering? And how can we get back on the same page as our partner, so that we can experience more of that divine, aligned, heart-bursting love and happiness we all dream of?

To answer these questions, I’m joined by Bruce Muzik — a.k.a. the ‘Couples Whisperer’, a world renowned coach who’s built a reputation as being the guy that marriage therapists refer their toughest clients to.

Tune in to discover his genius “broken toes” concept (and how Nick and I have used it in our own marriage), the real reason why relationships fall apart, what you should do BEFORE you communicate with your partner, how to get your partner to open up (even if they tend to shut down and withdraw), his personal experience with cheating, a beautiful technique to avoid misunderstandings and silly arguments, how your childhood can be secretly impacting your adult relationships, and the #1 mindset shift that virtually *guarantees* more connection and growth in your relationship.

450: Family Constellation Therapy, Releasing Emotional Baggage & Healing Family Wounds with Sex Love Goop’s Kato Wittich

Tue, 26 Apr 2022 17:38:11 GMT

“It didn’t start with me.” That’s the groundbreaking premise behind ‘Family Constellations’. This revolutionary type of therapy is based on the belief that we all unconsciously inherit family patterns that may have been needed for the survival of our family in the past, but that now block us from living the fullest and richest lives that we can.

To explain the life-altering magic of this therapy — and to guide us through some powerful at-home exercises — I’m joined by Katarina (‘Kato’) Wittich, a certified Constellations and Rosen practitioner.

I first encountered Kato’s work on Goop’s Netflix series, and became instantly obsessed. Here, finally, was a way to heal ancestral wounds and release the baggage that so many of us carry around on our backs (often without even realising). I knew I needed to get Kato on the show, and our conversation was every bit as eye-opening and transformative as I’d hoped.

Tune in to discover how trauma can be passed on through generations, why our emotional and physical health is intrinsically tied to those who came before us, why your lineage does NOT need to hold you hostage to hidden trauma, how somatic work can supercharge the healing of emotional wounds, the daily neurological practices that will rewire your nervous system for peace and healing, and why your relatives don’t need to be present for you to transform your family’s legacy.

449: Dr. Zach Bush On The Profound Truth Of Who You Are, Cellular Spirituality, Supercharging Your Body, Mind & Soul, & The Root Cause Of All Disease

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 17:04:37 GMT

Words can’t quite do this episode justice. You just need to experience the potency and profundity of Dr. Zach Bush MD for yourself — his voice in your earbuds, his wisdom flooding your consciousness, his insights landing with such clarity, it’s as if you’ve just taken off a pair of scratched-up glasses and can finally see the world clearly for the first time.

I honestly didn’t think it was possible to top his last appearance on the show, but somehow, he did. This is, quite simply, one of the most memorable conversations I’ve ever had — not just on this podcast, but in my entire life.

In this episode, with thoughtfulness, curiosity and compelling science, Dr. Bush dives deep into the health of humanity, why we need to flood our lives with as much light as possible, and the inherent healing power of this planet we call home.

Tune in to discover the profound realisation that’s transformed his spiritual outlook, why the food chain we rely on for nourishment is fundamentally broken, the health blocks that stop so many people from achieving true wellbeing, how to create an inner terrain that allows your microbiome to thrive, the possibilities for a new humanity post-pandemic, the scary truth about soil degradation (and what we can do about it), why your cells are the surprising bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds, and why the answers to our modern lifestyle problems are found in a radical return to nature, beauty, and sustainability.

Tue, 12 Apr 2022 17:05:43 GMT

We’re shaking things up this week! It’s my birthday, which is always a time for deep reflection and introspection. As I complete another trip around the sun, I’ve been contemplating the lessons I’ve learned over the past 36 years that have made the most difference in my life — the stuff that’s *truly* helped me uplevel, create lasting change, and be the best version of myself.

I’m sharing those life lessons here — all 36 of them, divided into four categories: health, wealth, love and parenthood. Tune in to hear how I prioritise my mental health, why singing is surprisingly good for your nervous system, the money mindset principles that transformed my bank balance, why it’s so essential to get your ‘financial house’ in order to experience true abundance, my #1 technique for next-level relationships, why self-care is ESPECIALLY important when you’re a parent, the ‘mama mantra’ I swear by, why it’s so essential to figure out your purpose in this life, and why we are ALL miracles (yep — that includes you, beautiful!).

These 36 lessons have made such an incredible difference to every part of my life — my mindset, marriage, parenting, friendships, finances, energy, wellbeing… all of it.

Even implementing just ONE of these lessons has the power to radically influence how you feel in your day to day life. So buckle up, pop in those earbuds, and press play — if you want to be the best version of yourself, this one’s for you.

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 17:23:48 GMT

We’re back for Part Two of our conversation on cultivating epic friendships!

Continuing on from last week’s episode, I’m joined by my real life soul sisters, Sally Douglas and Tamsyn Neill.

In Part Two of this intimate, insightful conversation, we’re delving into some of the more tricky and uncomfortable aspects of friendships that are often not talked about, and that can sometimes trip us up, impact our connections, and even cause us pain.

Tune in to hear how we make time for our friends even when life gets full, why you’ll never catch us ‘ghosting’ anyone, how to close out a friendship loop when your relationship has run its course, the easiest way to stay in touch with old friends, the red flags that may signal you’re in an unhealthy friendship, how to accept that a lifelong friendship is over, how to break up with a friend in a way that honours and respects your shared history, the surprising skill that’s CRUCIAL for meaningful relationships, and what to do when a friend always says they want to catch up… but never do.

Just like last episode, this conversation is the next best thing to being on a real life juice-date with the three of us. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, it’s filled with so much love… I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it for you.

443: Healing From Trauma, Turning Pain Into Power, How To Stop Taking Things So Personally | Yemi Penn

Wed, 09 Mar 2022 10:00:30 GMT

What happens to us when we experience trauma? What impact does trauma have on our bodies, brains, hearts, relationships and lives? And what does it take to truly heal physical and emotional trauma — especially when we’ve been carrying our wounds for a long time, maybe even generations?

To help answer these questions and more, I’m joined on the show by Yemi Penn — author, documentarian, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and all-round powerhouse woman.

Yemi’s work around trauma stems from her own deeply personal experience of childhood abuse. Determined to free herself from the wounds she was carrying, she began searching for ways to empower her own healing journey and overcome the other forms of trauma she recognised in herself — including generational trauma that she inherited.

In this fascinating, inspiring, and incredibly important conversation, you’ll hear how Yemi turned her pain into power, how she processed and integrated her trauma so she could set herself free, and how her journey towards healing became a catalyst for transformation and growth. You’ll also discover the simple but powerful technique she swears by for releasing stored trauma, how hidden trauma can be impacting your relationship without you even realising, how trauma can hold us back from achieving our full potential, and how you too can set yourself free.

** Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of child abuse. Follow your intuition if you know this conversation is not for you right now.

434: The Truth About Vaccine Mandates, Understanding Polarity & Seeing Both Sides | Dr John Demartini

Tue, 04 Jan 2022 17:00:44 GMT

“We live in troubled times.” “We’re more divided than ever.” “There’s only one right answer.”

… We’ve all heard these things said over the past two years (maybe you’ve even said them yourself) — but are they actually true? What lies beneath the surface of these blanket statements? And what divine opportunities are we missing when we opt for certainty and tribalism over nuance and polarity?

To help answer these questions, Dr John Demartini is on the show.

John is here to share his thoughts on what the current state of the world is doing to our collective consciousness, how we can find the hidden gifts and opportunities amid the turbulence, and why embracing polarity might just be the most important soul work we can do right now.

432: What Life Is REALLY Like As A Hollywood Star, Body Acceptance & Self Love Against The Odds | Torrey DeVitto

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 15:18:15 GMT

At first glance, it might seem that being a Hollywood actress would make living a life of spirituality, consciousness and body acceptance quite challenging… but then, Torrey DeVitto has always been up for a challenge.

In an industry not known for fostering self worth or healthy body image, actress and activist Torrey (best known for her roles on Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars and Chicago Med) is rewriting the playbook for how to achieve Hollywood success while also practising fierce self love, radical self acceptance, and devoting herself to helping others.

In this eye-opening conversation, she’s taking us beyond the glitz, glamour and red carpets to reveal how she’s created a life on her own terms — and learned to love every part of herself — while ROCKING it in one of the world’s most cutthroat industries.

431: The Minimalists | How Having Less Stuff Will Transform Your Health, Wealth, Relationships & More

Tue, 14 Dec 2021 16:00:13 GMT

Why are we so addicted to stuff? How come our hunger for possessions is causing us to be sick and unhappy, yet we still want more? And how might our lives be better with less? To help answer these soul-striking questions, I’m bringing out the big guns — yep, I’m chatting with none other than The Minimalists themselves — a.k.a Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus.

Like the rest of the world, I fell in love with these two and their message of ‘less is more’ when I first saw their hugely popular self-titled Netflix documentary. But despite being devoured by audiences around the world — and even breaking box office records — it seems that many people are still struggling to actually EMBODY the minimalist mindset that they espouse. One only has to look at how rates of online shopping are skyrocketing, how more things than ever are ending up in landfill, how comments sections are flooded with people overwhelmed by their clutter, and how our collective mental health is suffering, to wonder: Where are we going wrong? How can we right this ship? And how can we move away from the material and get back to what’s meaningful? In this episode, you’ll hear their answers to these questions and more — and they may just change your mind and your life.

430: Overcoming ‘Mama Guilt’, Self-Care After Kids & Navigating ‘Matrescence’ | Amy Taylor-Kabbaz

Tue, 07 Dec 2021 18:00:56 GMT

What happens to a woman when she becomes a mother? Amy Taylor-Kabbaz spent more than a decade trying to find an answer to this question. Finally, she heard a word that summed it up perfectly: ‘matrescence’. We’ve all heard of ‘adolescence’, and we know how transformative (and even tumultuous) this transitional time can be. But not many people have heard of ‘matrescence’: the identity shift that occurs when a woman transitions into life as a mother. For far too long, our culture has not fully acknowledged the impact that this transition can have. Yet Amy’s work shows that when matrescence is understood properly, it allows women to redefine their own experience of both motherhood and womanhood, and can help them release guilt, cultivate self-compassion, and find genuine inner peace. Put simply, it’s nothing short of revolutionary. So in this beautiful and inspiring episode, Amy is taking us on a soulful, insightful deep-dive into the magic and the miracle that is matresence.

It’s said that when a woman becomes a mother, she splits in two: who she used to be, and the mother she is now. If you’re struggling to navigate this radical shift, and are no longer entirely sure who you are now that you’re a mother, you’re not alone. Amy joins us on the show today to discuss the complex range of emotions that women face as they navigate the transition into motherhood, and to introduce the revolutionary idea of ‘matrescence’.

Press play to hear why you DON’T need to put yourself last as a mother, learn why it’s not just your child’s brain that is undergoing radical changes, and hear the unvarnished truth about self-care when you’ve got kids — including where to find the time!

Tue, 05 Oct 2021 17:00:00 GMT

416: How To Rewire Your Thinking Patterns To Be Truly Happy | Dr Sam Rader

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 17:00:00 GMT

Dr Sam Rader is a practicing psychologist with 18 years of clinical experience. She believes that during the first five years of our lives, our experiences as a child write a ‘source code’ in our unconscious, which then determines the way that the rest of our life unfolds. In this powerful conversation, Dr Sam is teaching us how to rewire that source code, so that we can stop reverting to the coping patterns we picked up in childhood (which are no longer serving us), and instead, intentionally create the psychological foundations for the best version of ourselves to emerge. This is a must-listen episode. If you want to know how to understand and use the powerful tool between your ears more effectively, and to step out of the repetitive behaviours, beliefs, and relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck, you’re going to absolutely LOVE this conversation. It’s also essential listening for all parents who want to break the cycle of psychological and spiritual suffering with their own children, and help them build a robust, resilient psyche from the get-go.

411: Is Your Home Making You Sick? Understanding Toxic Mould Illness | Dr Sandeep Gupta

Tue, 17 Aug 2021 16:00:00 GMT

When we discovered toxic black mold in our apartment in 2012, we moved out *immediately*. Nick literally exited the building and never went back, while I returned only in a full haz-mat suit in order to pack the few things that hadn’t been infected with toxic spores or that could be properly cleaned. The experience shook us both deeply. Not only did we have to leave our home and many of our belongings behind, but Nick’s health had been severely impacted for nearly a year, and we’d had no idea why. Today, we’re joined by Dr Sandeep Gupta, MD — a specialist GP and founder of the online training program ‘Mold Illness Made Simple’ to do a deep dive into the truth about toxic mold — including how it takes root, where it hides, how it can invade your body, the crazy symptoms that you can develop, and why it’s a silent but impactful illness that’s severely misunderstood.

Tue, 16 Mar 2021 18:00:00 GMT

It’s not every day that you get to sit down with one of your personal heroes. But that’s exactly what I did in this episode. Tim Ballard is the founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad — a world renowned organisation focused on rescuing victims of the global sex trafficking trade, as well as capturing the traffickers themselves. I’ve followed Tim’s journey (and been inspired by him) for years, so I was incredibly honoured to sit down with him and bring you this massively important conversation. In this chat, Tim shares the shocking facts of the global sex trade, how his organisation is helping to end trafficking for good (and how we can ALL contribute to this movement), and the CRUCIAL ways we must educate our own children to protect them from sexual predators — both online and off.

Though these are topics that can be dark and difficult at times, Tim’s compassion, determination and leadership will light a fire in your heart. So will his ultimate message: that child sex trafficking will not be stopped by governents, but by everyday people taking a stand... In other words, it’s up to US.

When a woman gives birth, it’s not just a baby that’s born… a mother is born too.

For some women, this transition can be challenging, confusing, and even traumatic. But today’s podcast guest, Pam England, has a message of hope. She says birth can also be an incredible journey of self-discovery and healing — even if it wasn’t the birth you dreamed of. And in this powerful conversation, she’s sharing the tools, techniques and stories that can transform your experience of birth and trigger profound healing...

Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/277 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.

Pam England is a former nurse-midwife who practiced in hospital, birth center, and home birth settings. After giving birth to her first baby, she experienced emotional birth trauma but could not find a counselor or support group that could listen to her birth story and guide her through the pain and confusion.

This was the catalyst that led her to create the Birthing From Within approach, followed by the Birth Story Medicine method in 2006. Since then, Pam has also completed a Masters in Psych Counseling, written a number of books (including Birthing From Within and Ancient Map for Modern Birth) and now teaches others how to become birth story mentors to empower mothers from all walks of life.

There are epic and surprising takeaways for EVERYONE in this episode — whether you’ve already given birth (even if it was decades ago), you want to have children in the future, or even if you simply want to learn how to better support and understand the women in your life.

So if you want to deepen your understanding of the inner terrain of childbearing, prioritize the emotional and physical health of both mother and baby, and reframe your entire perception of this powerful rite of passage, then pop in those earbuds… this episode is for you.

As a child bride and young mother in a small Zimbabwe village, Tererai’s path in life seemed set. But a chance encounter changed the course of her future, when the CEO of nonprofit Heifer International said to her: "If you believe in your dreams, they are achievable."

Tererai went on to earn multiple degrees (including a PhD), start her own charity, speak at the UN, advocate to world leaders, and is currently an adjunct professor at Drexel University. A two-time guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, she was named by Oprah as her “All-Time Favorite Guest”. (How’s that for glowing praise?!)

In 2003, she launched Biome — Australia’s first online eco store, that showcases carefully vetted products that are both environmentally friendly and socially responsible.

Since then, Tracey has succeeded in making an incredible impact on the environment.

She has so many genius ideas and easy strategies that we can ALL implement in our households, and I know you’re going to love how EASY she makes it to make a huge difference.

So if you want to discover the best way to go toxic-free, the mind-blowingly simple steps to ditch plastic, and the hidden benefits of composting your waste, then pop in those earbuds… this episode is for you.

245: Plant-Based Transformation & New Music With Nick Broadhurst

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 18:03:11 GMT

This episode is brought to you by BLUblox. Head to www.BLUblox.com now and enter the code MELISSA for 15% off your order.

You asked, so here it is: another episode with Nick Broadhurst — singer/songwriter, polymath, entrepreneur, and (best of all) my darling husband. In today’s deep-dive, he’s pulling back the curtains on the huge physical transformation (as well as giving us a sneak peek at his latest single ‘Inner Love’!! 🙌).

Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/245 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.

It’s no secret that Nick has had his fair share of health challenges. After his life-altering diagnosis, as well as suffering from various ‘mystery’ illnesses, ailments and mental health issues, he came *this close* to giving up on his search for wellness. After all, maybe “sick and tired” is just how we’re supposed to feel as we get older… right?

Wrong. Nick knew there was another level he could reach with his health, and the solution was in the kitchen. By eating 100% whole food, plant-based he’s been able to radically transform his body and mind. In less than 3 months, he put on 5 kilos of muscle, increased his training volume by 600%, healed some lingering ailments, got his energy back to levels he hadn’t experienced for decades, and now feels stronger, healthier, happier and more creative than ever before.

In this conversation, we opened it up to you and he’s answering all YOUR burning questions about mental health, releasing new music, creativity, purpose, his transformation, revealing the truth about going plant-based, and how it can impact your life.

So if you want to bust through the raging myths about eating plant-based, find out why transitioning to plants is not as hard (or as big a deal) as you may think, and also hear his new single (which is hands down, one of my favourites), grab your earbuds, press download, and prepare to have your mind-blown… this episode is for you!

In this episode we chat about:

His journey through one of the toughest times of his life… and how it impacted our relationship (08:30)
His new single — why now, and why the delay? (15:36)
The #1 reason he decided to go 100% wholefood plant-based (17:22)
How going wholefood plant-based has affected his mental health (anyone who’s ever struggled with depression and anxiety NEEDS to hear this!) (29:01)
Nick’s typical day of food (and how he adapts his diet based on his energy needs and intuition) (37:46)
The best plant sources of protein and fat (and they’re not what you’d expect!) (41:10)
How to transition to a plant-based diet and avoid any nasty detox effects (49:29)
Do vegans need supplements? Finally, an answer backed by science (55:00)
How Nick builds so much muscle on a plant-based diet (01:02:59)
Celery juice: worth it or not? (01:04:58)
The best way to get your family to eat plant-based (even if your kids don’t love fruit and veg… yet!) (01:07:40)
His powerful manifesting process (01:16:14)

His latest book How Not to Die became an instant New York Times Best Seller. He has videos on more than 2,000 health topics freely available at NutritionFacts.org, with new videos and articles uploaded every day.

Do you ever feel like you’ve got something inside you — a story, a song, an artwork, whatever — that you’re not fully expressing?

Today’s podcast guest, Chase Jarvis, says there’s a creator inside all of us, even if you’ve never considered yourself to be “creative”. And in this episode, he’s sharing his genius strategies for unleashing that inner creator so you can share the spark inside you that’s aching to be set free.

Through small daily actions, he says you can cultivate this important habit and channel your creative powers, transforming your life and health in the process.

‘A good mother puts her own needs last.’

‘You should enjoy every moment of motherhood.’

‘It’s important to get your pre-baby body back, fast.’

… This is just a handful of the limiting beliefs people can hold about motherhood.

Sometimes we inherit these beliefs from our own mothers, sometimes they’re fed to us from society, and sometimes they get embedded in our brains without us even knowing. Today’s podcast guest, Bethany Webster, says this way of thinking stems from the ‘Mother Wound’ — the inherited pain of being a woman in a patriarchal culture. And in today’s episode, she’s guiding us through the process of healing this wound, ditching our dysfunctional coping mechanisms, and expanding our idea of what it means to be a mama.

Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/235 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.

Bethany’s insights in this conversation blew me away. I was nodding along like crazy, as she described so perfectly what it’s like to be a woman in this world and how many damaging beliefs we can absorb without even realising. Whether you are a mama, want to be a mama, have a mama, or just want to understand yourself and the women in your life better, you’ll find veins of gold throughout this podcast, and I can’t wait for you to listen.

So if you want to heal your ancestral wounds, actualize your full potential, and redefine your own relationship with motherhood, this conversation is for you.

In this episode we chat about:

Her story from being the ‘mother figure’ as a child, to falling pregnant at 19, to healing her Mother Wound and her spiritual awakening to where she is today (05:46)
What is the Mother Wound? (21:04)

Why we need to stay open in all our relationships and the power of CCC (29:20)

233: How Blue Light Is Harming Your Health & What To Do About It With Andy Mant

Wed, 04 Sep 2019 17:00:48 GMT

This episode is brought to you by BLUblox. Head to www.BLUblox.com now and enter the code MELISSA for 15% off your order.

A recent study found that the average person spends more than 10 hours a day in front of a screen. (Ten!) This number is worrying in itself, but when you consider that most screens emit a harmful type of blue light that can mess with your sleep, strain your eyes and disrupt your hormones, it’s worth taking a closer look at the negative effects of our digital life. Enter today’s podcast guest, Andy Mant...

Head to https://melissaambrosini.com/233 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.

Andy Mant is the founder and CEO of BLUblox, a company specialising in evidence-based advanced light-filtering eyewear. He started the company following a powerful personal experience — after succumbing to health and weight issues that wouldn’t resolve with the traditional dietary approach, Andy stumbled across the role that light plays in our health. By changing his exposure to light, he was able to transform his body and energy levels. And today, Andy is a leading figure in managing light to improve health and wellbeing.

My husband and I have been passionate about blue-blocking eyewear for years, and we’re thrilled that this issue is becoming more mainstream. But there’s a lot of conflicting information out there (and — unfortunately — some dodgy products). That’s one of the reasons I love Andy’s approach so much: his work is backed by hard data, and his lenses match the evidence in the academic literature.

So if you want to hear the truth about what your screentime is doing to your health, learn the simple-yet-powerful hacks to reduce your blue light exposure, and discover how to get the best sleep of your life, then pop in those earbuds and press play — this conversation is for you.

223: How To Manifest Anything You Want With Lacy Phillips

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:05:40 GMT

Hands up if you’ve ever tried to manifest something in your life... and ended up super frustrated when you didn’t see results? If that’s you, you’re not alone. So many people struggle with manifestation. Some even turn their backs on this technique altogether, thinking it "doesn’t work". But today’s podcast guest, Lacy Phillips, is here to turn that belief around. In fact, she’s here to turn everything you thought you knew about manifestation on its head. And in the process, she’s going to share her unique and reliable formula for calling in your soul’s deepest desires and making them your reality.

Head to melissaambrosini.com/223 for full episode resources and more inspiring weekly episodes.

Lacy Phillips is a Manifestation Advisor specializing in unblocking beliefs of unworthiness and aligning with what you truly desire. Her unique manifestation process, The Formula by Lacy Phillips™, combines both psychology and neuroplasticity to help people create new neural pathways for deep subconscious beliefs.

The difference between Lacy's approach to manifesting and the usual stock-standard technique is like chalk and (activated cashew) cheese. Instead of the usual edicts to “think positive and visualize!", Lacy is all about helping you connect back with your authentic self and dismantle the societal programming, labels, and molds that don't align with your true nature. (And spoiler alert: it’s these extra steps that turbocharge your manifesting and turn you into a magnet for your desires.)

So if you want to rewire your limiting beliefs, manifest *exactly* what you want, and create abundance in all areas of your life, stop wasting time and pop in those earbuds! What you dream of is only one episode away…

In this episode we chat about:

•Her intuitive eating practice (05:06)

•How she went from being a broke model and actress to becoming a Manifesting Advisor (06:06)

•The *exact* process to manifest anything you want (these 3 steps can literally change your life) (12:18)

•The crazy things people have manifested using her technique (this part is so much fun to listen to!) (30:13)

•Having trouble manifesting? Here’s why you’re not getting what you want yet (33:57)

•The art of surrender (and why it’s the missing link in your manifesting process) (38:48)

•The power of visualising and collecting evidence in your manifestation process (42:17)

•What Lacy has recently manifested in her life (47:15)

But at the end of her degree, she was so disillusioned by the standard nutritional guidelines, that she paved her own path — staying clear of the low fat diets of the day, and causing plenty of controversy in the process. Her groundbreaking book Changing Habits Changing Lives became an instant bestseller and from there, she has grown a successful organic food company, started a certified online education program and filmed a groundbreaking documentary, What’s With Wheat?

Thu, 23 Aug 2018 15:23:40 GMT

A board certified Family Physician, Dr. Cate trained in biochemistry and genetics.

Combining her observations with cutting edge medical research, she penned the bestselling book, Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food(named one of the best health and wellness books of 2017 by Sports Illustrated) and went on to create the nutritional program for the LA Lakers.

With high profile fans like Mark Sisson, Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard, Dr Cate’s food philosophy has attracted thousands of followers around the globe. Her mission is to help people reverse metabolic disease, reshape their body, and achieve true glowing health by eating simple, delicious, real whole foods and getting rid of some silent killers.

91: #RelationshipGoals With Barney And Kada Miller

Thu, 26 Apr 2018 19:01:10 GMT

I use the word ‘inspiration’ a lot. (I’m a bit of an inspiration junkie!). But I can safely say, hand on heart, that no couple has ever inspired me more than today’s podcast guests — Barney and Kada Miller.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/91

Barney Miller was a promising surfer with big dreams when a car accident rendered him quadriplegic. Unable to perform even the most basic tasks, he found himself sliding into a state of depression. Years passed, filled with tremendous daily struggles, and hardships that most of us can’t even imagine… and then he met his soulmate, singer Kate Southwell aka ‘Kada’.

Theirs is a love story of epic proportions. Side by side, they’ve faced the unfathomable and done the impossible, achieving feats that completely belie the challenges they’ve faced. This power couple have a stunning doco under their belts ('YOU and ME’) as well as a brand new book (the absolute must-read ‘The Essence of You and Me’). But it doesn’t end there — Barney is learning to walk again, and Kada has been signed by a major record label and is pursuing her music career full throttle… and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Guys, this episode is… something else. It will shatter you — in the best possible way — then fire you up to live your wild and precious life to the absolute fullest.

Imagine if your worst fear became your reality. For today’s podcast guest, JJ Virgin, that was very nearly the case when her son was almost killed in a hit and run car accident.

83: #RelationshipGoals With Rich Roll And Julie Piatt

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 18:46:08 GMT

If you’re ever in the presence of someone who’s in an epic relationship, listen closely when they talk about love, because they’ve likely got some hardcore wisdom up their sleeve... And if you ever have the opportunity to hear from BOTH partners in a conscious coupling, stop what you’re doing immediately and grab a pencil, baby — because you can be sure that the truth-bombs will be raining hard and fast!

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/83

Rich Roll and Julie Piatt will tell you straight up, they don’t have a “perfect” relationship. (Who does?!) But after spending time with them, I can tell you — this conscious couple is inspiring as heck, and there is so much we can learn from them about how to navigate through life as a duo. I was determined to get to the bottom of what makes these guys tick, so boy did I ask them some juicy questions in today’s podcast episode.

You’ve probably heard of Rich before. His story is an epic one: after finding himself sedentary and overweight in middle age, he overhauled his life at age 40, adopted a plant-powered whole foods diet and reinvented himself as an ultra-distance endurance athlete. His inspirational memoir FINDING ULTRA: Rejecting Middle Age, Becoming One of the World’s Fittest Men, and Discovering Myself was an Amazon #1 best-seller and has inspired thousands across the world to embrace a plant-powered diet. Rich is a frequent guest on CNN, was named one of the "25 Fittest Men in the World" by Men's Fitness and is the host of his own chart-topping podcast. As if that’s not enough, he’s also a graduate of Stanford University and Cornell Law School, and an inspiration to people worldwide as a transformative example of healthy living.

If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of discovering Rich’s partner Julie and her work, you’re in for a treat. Julie has spent decades traveling many paths and studying many traditions. She is a true renaissance artist who expresses her creative voice as a plant-based chef, singer-songwriter, yogi, sculptor, painter, spiritual guide, and homeschooling parent to four children.

Together, these two are a powerhouse of conscious living, soulful connection, and straight-up full-blown love. Being in their presence (even though it was long distance!) it was obvious how aligned they are, and how special their energy is… and I couldn’t wait to ask them the hard questions to uncover their secrets!

If you’re keen to deepen your connection with your partner, lean into love, and learn some crazy-effective skills for navigating through life as a couple, this conversation is for you.

In this episode we chat about:

Their epic love story and how they got to where they are today (06:04)
How the masculine and feminine plays out in their relationship (11:59)
How Rich dealt with stepping into the role of a step parent (16:36)

69: A New Way To Live, Lead, Earn And Give With Peta Kelly

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 18:17:00 GMT

Is ‘hustle and grind’ how life’s meant to be? Is climbing your way to the ‘top’ really the end-game we should be aiming for? Is financial freedom truly what it's all about? Not according to today’s superstar podcast guest (and my beautiful soul sister) Peta Kelly, who says there is a New Way to becoming more successful than the generations before us and a New Way to live, lead, earn and give.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/69

Peta is a serial entrepreneur and author who’s built multiple seven-figure businesses and created a load of success in her life. So when she speaks? I’m all ears, baby! This is her second time on the show and she’s back with a big message to share: Earth is hiring us for a very important role and we need to listen up and lighten up... otherwise we will miss our opportunity.

I always walk away from conversations with Peta BRIMMING with energy and ideas, and I know you’re going to feel the same after listening to this epic podcast. We touch on so many juicy topics — from tapping into your creative flow, to living your true genius, to the ancient wisdom that will empower each of us (along with the rest of the planet) to rise out of mediocrity and truly thrive.

If you want to be (as Peta would say) ‘inspired AF’, and unearth the secrets of the New Way to live, lead, earn and give — along with discovering how to create deep inner fulfillment in your life — this podcast is for you.

In this episode we chat about:

What the heck earth is hiring us to do (06:52)
Why being in alignment is key to inner peace and happiness (08:02)
How to know when you’re out of alignment and what to do about it (09:23)
Peta’s so-useful strategies for sliding back into effortless alignment (13:16)
How to unkink your hose (I LOVE this so much!) (17:11)

Why it’s ok to change your mind (26:36)
The hugely important activity that will enrich your life and keep your inner compass pointing true north (37:14)
How the internal shifts of motherhood have impacted Peta’s life and purpose (49:55)

57: How To Be Ultra Spiritual With JP Sears

Thu, 28 Dec 2017 18:51:37 GMT

Being more spiritual, conscious and mindful each day is definitely a goal of mine and a constant work in progress, but in the past I have taken this journey way too seriously. Which is why I love today's guest, JP Sears, who uses humour to make fun of people like me. Since watching his hilarious videos which total 100’s of millions of views, such as ‘How To Be Gluten Intolerant’ and ‘Becoming An Expert Yoga Teacher’, I was able to bring more lightness, joy and play to the sometimes serious topics like consciousness, meditation, enlightenment and mastering your ego (aka Mean Girl).

55: Soulful Sex And Soulmates With Melissa Ambrosini

Thu, 21 Dec 2017 18:45:07 GMT

You can probably tell by now that this is going to be bit of a different episode. No, Melissa has not had a sex change, this is in fact her husband Nick doing bit of a podcast takeover. Each week Melissa asks you who you want interviewed on the show, and one of the most common requests is actually to hear more from Melissa. So in this extra special episode I am going to be playing the role of host while I get to ask Melissa all your top questions on the topics of love, relationships and soulful sex. Plus, if you are extra lucky, you might snag a few extra juicy insights from me too along the way ;)

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/55

Melissa Ambrosini needs no introduction. But since I have you as my captive audience, let me share a bit about Melissa from my perspective. When we first met, I was totally taken by what I call her ‘shininess’. Melissa is honestly the most authentic and beautiful person I have ever met, which explains why I proposed to her after just 2 weeks! I wanted this woman in my life forever.

Over the past 4 years since we met, I have watched her grow from an inspired young woman into a global thought leader who has the purest of intentions with everything that she does. Each morning when we wake up, she asks me “what are three things you are grateful for” and I often say “I am grateful that you said yes.”

Melissa makes me want to be more every day. And I think that really sums her up. Everyone I meet who has been touched by Melissa and her work, is inspired to be more. And I can’t wait for you to get your hands on her next book Open Wide because I know just how crucial this information is.

We both learned a lot of what is in the book before we met, and when we came together it was the perfect playing field to put it into action. I had many relationships before Melissa, and even a marriage. I can honestly say that not understanding the core concepts of what Melissa presents in Open Wide was like flying blind. I seriously had no idea what it meant to be a man! But thank goodness I managed to figure some of this out, which allowed me to then unite with my soul mate.

In this episode we chat about:

Why Melissa wrote the deeply vulnerable Open Wide (05:49)
Why fear could be a sign that you are on the right path (10:26)
Why understanding the masculine and feminine is so important in your relationships and within yourself (11:59)
How to rebalance your masculine and feminine energy systems (13:26)
The importance of polarity and how it plays out in your relationships and everyday life (16:18)
What is soulful sex (22:55)
Why sex can be an act of service (25:35)
Why a man would choose whether or not to ejaculate during love making (27:40)
How do you call in more love and manifest your soulmate? (31:32)
The illusion that once you meet your ‘one’ it’s all rainbows and butterflies (37:59)
How to keep the spark alive in your relationship (43:56)
How to ‘consciously uncouple’ (50:16)
How do you let go of expectations in all of your relationships? (57:12)
How to make new soulful sister connections and be a good friend (01:02:35)

Thu, 14 Dec 2017 11:58:07 GMT

Well, after listening to today’s podcast guest, Debra Pascali-Bonaro, I’m betting you’re going to be changing the way you look at, talk about, and conceptualise this sacred right of passage.

51: Orgasmic Meditation With Eli Block

Thu, 30 Nov 2017 21:57:15 GMT

I’ve tried all sorts of meditations — from mantra based meditation, to visualization, mindfulness and deep breathing. But until a few years ago, I had never tried orgasmic meditation (OM)... and oh boy am I glad I did!

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/51

Unlike other meditations, which you do on your own, OM is a consciousness practice you do with another person. The OM practice combines the power and attention of meditation with the deeply human, deeply felt, and connected experience of orgasm.

The benefits of this practice are huge — and backed up by both science and loads of personal stories of transformation. As well as feeling amazing, getting your OM on can incline people towards empathy, connection, and generosity. Orgasm also magnifies, intensifies, and vivifies everyday experience — not by altering it, but by revealing its true nature. The implications for our health, happiness, and relationships are astounding.

To teach us about this sacred, sensual practice — and to help us peel back the layers on our own true nature — today I have Eli Block on the podcast, a senior faculty member and director at OneTaste.

Eli’s insights are sure to inspire, fascinate and surprise you… So if you’re curious about how to activate your sexual impulse, ramp up your intimacy levels, and reach an optimal state of consciousness, this episode is a must listen!

In this episode we chat about:

Eli’s journey to OM (04:17)
What is orgasmic meditation (OM) and how this sacred practice can change your life (07:18)
How to practise OM (including a step by step explanation, and starter tips for newbies) (08:54)
The power of focused attention (and how it can transform your spiritual and sensual experiences) (13:40)
My own personal OM experience and why I loved it (17:52)
The benefits of OM (19:22)
Why women want to avoid being tumescent (and what this can do to your life) (22:51)
The importance of releasing your sexual energy in order to be the best version of yourself (24:13)

50: From Cancer, To Near Death, To True Healing With Anita Moorjani

Thu, 23 Nov 2017 15:39:43 GMT

What happens when we leave this earth suit? What’s on the ‘other side’? And what’s the true meaning of this wild and precious life we’ve been gifted? Today’s podcast guest, Anita Moorjani, has the answers to these questions... and her story is likely to blow your spiritual socks off.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/50

After four years of illness, Anita was in the final stages of terminal cancer. Her body — riddled with tumours — was shutting down, and doctors had all but written her off. It was then, in her comatose state, that she had a near death experience — visiting the other realm, experiencing unconditional love, and realising her inherent worth. Upon waking, Anita shocked her medical team by rapidly healing her body, with all traces of cancer disappearing in just a few short weeks.

49: Loving Yourself, Overcoming Fear And Building A Global Empire With Lorna Jane

Thu, 16 Nov 2017 13:39:13 GMT

It’s always so inspiring to meet people who are kicking butt in not just one, but multiple life areas. They’re my favourite people to interview because they’ve perfected the art of peak performance, and always have so many useful insights to share about what it takes to get to the top. Today’s podcast guest, Lorna Jane, is a shining example of one of these peak performers. A business guru with an uber-successful global empire, she’s also rocking radiant health, a kickass mindset, off-the-charts self-love, a beautiful marriage (25 years and counting), and a love-filled personality to boot… It’s a seriously impressive array of achievements (and did I mention she’s a total sweetheart too?!)

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/49

The seed for Lorna’s fashion empire was first planted in 1985, when she came up with the then-radical idea that gym wear could also be worn as lifestyle clothing. She thought that if she could design pieces that were both fashionable and functional, it would inspire women to put on their activewear and actually want to work out! Lorna’s unique vision quickly turned into a global movement — a complete way of life that has transformed not only what women wear all over the world, but also how they think and feel about health and wellness. This is a woman with serious cred, who’s influenced and revolutionised multiple industries… and she’s not done yet!

If you are ready for some serious inspiration, you are going to L.O.V.E. this episode.

In this episode we chat about:

Her journey from fitness instructor to CEO of a global activewear company (06:40)

46: Embracing Vulnerability, Creating Strong Relationships And Living Your Fullest Life With Lewis Howes

Thu, 26 Oct 2017 15:51:37 GMT

Imagine if you knew how to confidently show up as your true, authentic self in EVERY part of your life... How liberating would that be? Instead though, many of us can lean towards covering up our true essence by putting on a mask, believing that it will make us more ‘likeable’ or help us fit in better. Today’s podcast guest, the incredible New York Times bestselling author Lewis Howes, knows all about the masks we wear. (In fact, he literally wrote the book on them!). In this episode, we’re delving deep into why we wear them, how to take them off, and why this is an essential topic to explore if you want to unlock your full potential and experience epic relationships.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/46

Lewis’s story is pretty incredible. After achieving crazy success at just 30 years of age, he found himself wearing the ultimate mask — outwardly thriving, but profoundly unfulfilled on the inside. Not happy to settle for a life half-lived, Howes set out on a personal journey to find inner peace and to uncover the many masks that people wear. That journey led him to write The Mask of Masculinity — an odyssey of self-discovery for all modern men... and the women who love them.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who either IS a man, loves a man (including a father, brother, or partner), or wants to better understand the role of men in our culture. (So ladies, this is one ep you should DEFINITELY slip onto your man’s iPhone!)

If you want to show up as your best self, live a life of true freedom, and connect with your partner on the most epic level imaginable, make sure you listen now.

An orgasm during childbirth? Pffft. Yeah, right. Like most people, I rolled my eyes when I first heard about the concept of ‘ecstatic birth’.

Imagine trying to operate complex machinery without an instruction manual… sounds crazy, but that’s exactly what most of us are doing in our relationships! After all, it’s not like we’re taught ‘Relationship 101’ in school.

Relationships serve a divine purpose, and are the most amazing opportunity for growth.

32: Conversations With God And Neale Donald Walsch

Thu, 20 Jul 2017 14:12:01 GMT

If I were to narrow down a list of my absolute favourite books — the ones that have rocked me to my core and changed the course of my life — Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch would be a sure-fire inclusion. When I read it the first time (and there’s been many re-reads since) almost the entire book ended up dog eared and highlighted. I found myself nodding along in agreement, even saying ‘YES!’ out loud, because everything I was reading was resonating so intensely with what I already knew to be true deep in my heart.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/32

The author of this book — and the ‘voice of God’ — is Neale Donald Walsch, a modern day spiritual messenger whose words continue to touch the world in profound ways. With an early interest in religion and a deeply felt connection to spirituality, Neale spent the majority of his life thriving professionally, yet searching for spiritual meaning before experiencing his now famous conversation with ‘God’. The Conversations with God series of books that emerged from those encounters has been translated into 37 languages, touching millions and inspiring important changes in their day-to-day lives.

Neale has since written 29 books on spirituality and its practical application in everyday life. Seven of those have reached the New York Times Bestseller List, with the first Conversations with God book occupying that list for over two-and-a-half years. (Crazy, cool!)

I was insanely excited to interview this amazing man, and our conversation did not disappoint. (I had goosebumps — or as I like to call them, ‘god bumps’ — the entire time!) Get ready for a spiritual awakening!

In this episode we chat about:

His journey and how he got to where he is today (05:00)
How the Conversations with God phenomenon came to be (06:55)
The passage from his book that brought my husband and I together (I wasn’t kidding when I said it was a ‘life changing’ book!) (14:30)

29: How To Financially Free Yourself With Peta Kelly

Thu, 22 Jun 2017 15:33:41 GMT

An abundance mindset was not something that came naturally to today’s guest, Peta Kelly. In fact, not that long ago, she had to do some major re-writing of her money story. But when she did? She became a self-made millionaire... at the grand old age of 25. (Seriously!). So you can probably tell you’re in for some epic aha’s in this episode.

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/29

Peta was recently featured in Forbes Magazine and has also been named in Inc Magazine's list of Top 27 Female Entrepreneurs changing the world. Pretty epic, huh?!

She is a divine soul on a mission to unleash the genius of GenY’s globally. At age 22, she ditched her PhD studies and went on the hunt for that ‘thing’ that was calling her higher. That's when she found her first business passion in network marketing and became a 7-figure-a-year earner by the age of 26. Her network marketing journey led Peta to her bigger, more global soul work and now she’s building a global enterprise, Jeaniius — a hub of nakedly brilliant people, mobilized to create epic-ness for our planet through conscious enterprise and magical collaborations.

Peta teaches the new way to live, lead, earn and give, and what excites her the most is bringing her brilliant, badass generation together as one team and one family so that we can gift our planet (and our kiddies) an environment where they can truly thrive.

21. The Most Overlooked Secret For Sexy Skin With Jasmina Aganovic

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 16:00:00 GMT

Most people know that their skin is an organ — the body’s largest, in fact. And more people are becoming aware of just how much their skin absorbs (hint: everything you put on it!). But did you know that there’s a full-blown ecosystem of tiny bacteria that live on your skin too?

For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/21

Healthy skin is meant to have a flourishing microbiome. But because most beauty and personal care products are full of toxic chemicals, not only are we upsetting the delicate pH balance of our epidermis (and wreaking havoc inside our bodies at the same time), we’re also decimating our skin’s natural bacterial colonies… which can have major health ramifications, and make it impossible to get the clear, dewy skin we all crave.

That’s why Jasmina Aganovic and the team at Mother Dirt have created the first ever ‘biome-friendly’ product line that proactively restores and preserves the good bacteria naturally found on our skin.

All Mother Dirt products are preservative-free, kid safe and allow consumers to choose products that don’t negatively impact the natural state of their skin or the planet.

If you want answers to your skin issues (and want to find out how to get sexy, glowing, flawless skin) this episode is for you.

In this episode we chat about:

What common skin issues such as eczema, acne, dry and flaky skin, sensitivity, blotchiness, roughness, oiliness, and body odor really mean and how you can prevent them (03:59)
The true impact that toxic beauty and skin products are having on your health and why you need to ditch them (05:34)
Why your skin microbiome is just as important as your gut microbiome and how you can preserve it for glowing skin (07:31)
Why being too clean may being doing you more harm than good (11:24)
What ‘ammonia oxidising bacteria’ (aka AOB’s) are and why they are so important for sexy skin (12:44)
Why we should be mindful of what we’re putting in our body (14:41)
Why sweating is important (30:14)
How you can spend less time and money on beauty and skin products and still have sexy skin (32:58)

Nat’s approach to wellness is fascinating. After recognising the large gap between conventional medicine and holistic health — in particular when it comes to fertility — she set about creating her own unique treatment style.
