The Confidence to Go, with Bec McDonnell Sun, 16 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT 30:52 6a7e6f4f83128ee3d2164a21 false https://herethereeverywhere.com.au/ 6a7e6f4f83128ee3d2164a21 69fd5988051b78474e08cab9 16-the-confidence-to-go-with-bec-mcdonnell full 1 16 Bec McDonnell is back on Here, There, Everywhere for a second time, and it’s easy to see why. We share a love of travel, but also a belief that getting away can be about so much more than simply visiting somewhere new.

As a mum, Bec has learnt to travel in a way that works for her and her family, including travelling solo with her kids and making time to travel on her own. She’s also a big believer in creating space for yourself, even when life is busy and there are plenty of reasons to put your own needs further down the list.

This is a really open and relatable conversation about travel, motherhood, confidence and letting go of the pressure to do things perfectly. It’s also a reminder that meaningful experiences don’t need to be extravagant, and sometimes taking that first step is the hardest part.


In this episode she shares:

· What it’s really like travelling solo with your kids and how to build the confidence to give it a go.

 

· Why travelling on your own can give you the space to reconnect with yourself outside of being a mum and partner.

 

· How taking time for yourself can help you come back feeling more present and connected to your family.

 

· Why you don’t need to wait for someone else to be available before booking the trip or experience you want to have.

 

· How to let go of the pressure to create the perfect family holiday and accept that travelling

with kids won’t always go to plan.

 

· Why travel doesn’t need to be extravagant or expensive to create meaningful memories with your family.

 

· How stepping outside your comfort zone and doing things on your own can build confidence in other areas of your life.

 

· Why making yourself a priority sometimes isn’t selfish and doesn’t have to come at the expense of your family.

Key Quotes:

“You don’t have to wait for someone else to be available to go and have the experience you want to have.”

“Taking time for yourself can help you come back as a better mum and a better partner.”

“Travel doesn’t have to be extravagant to create really meaningful memories.”

“The confidence comes from actually doing it, not waiting until you feel completely ready.”

“Not every family holiday has to be perfect to be memorable.”

“Sometimes getting away gives you the space to reconnect with who you are outside of being a mum.”

Following What Lights You Up with Simone Pansino, Founder of We The Stars Sun, 09 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT 36:35 6a752e61c3e1347e8b9d6ba5 false https://herethereeverywhere.com.au/ 6a752e61c3e1347e8b9d6ba5 69fd5988051b78474e08cab9 15-following-what-lights-you-up-with-simone-pansino-founder full 1 15 What if the life you really want is waiting on the other side of trusting yourself?

Simone knows what it feels like to follow the path that looks successful on paper while quietly knowing it's not the one you're meant to be on. After spending 16 years building a career in law, she made the courageous decision to back herself, embrace her creativity and build a jewellery brand that reflects who she truly is.

In this conversation, Erin and Simone explore the courage it takes to choose passion over expectation, why so many of us wait for permission before claiming who we are, and how learning to trust yourself can change every part of your life.

From navigating motherhood on her own terms to redefining success, embracing creativity and letting go of society's invisible rules, Simone shares an honest and refreshing perspective on building a life that feels aligned rather than simply ticking the boxes.

It's a conversation about identity, self-belief, creativity and giving yourself permission to create a life that genuinely lights you up.

In this episode, Simone shares:

-     Why trusting yourself often starts with giving yourself permission to pursue what genuinely lights you up.

-     How leaving a secure career in law led her to build a jewellery business by following creativity instead of expectations.

-     Why you don't need a qualification or someone else's permission to claim the work you were born to do.

-     The role mentors, coaches and supportive communities can play in helping you move past self-doubt and limiting beliefs.

-     Why continuing to invest in your passions after becoming a parent can make you a happier and more present version of yourself.

-     How redefining success around fulfilment, creativity and alignment can be more meaningful than chasing traditional milestones.

-     Why waiting until you feel completely ready often keeps you stuck and the importance of simply taking the first step.

-     How embracing play, creativity and experiences can help you build a life that feels authentic rather than one shaped by other people's expectations.

Key Quotes

"You don't need a piece of paper to be who you were born to be."

"The best version of me is what my son gets when I keep doing the things that light me up."

"You can either follow the beliefs you've been brought up with, or you can choose your own and invest in the life you want to create."

"Stop making excuses and just try the class. Everyone starts somewhere."

Finding Your Flow with Emma Maidment Sun, 02 Aug 2026 15:00:00 GMT 52:57 6a6c0d870d497875ebdb007b false https://shows.acast.com/here-there-everywhere/episodes/14-finding-your-flow-with-emma-maidment 6a6c0d870d497875ebdb007b 69fd5988051b78474e08cab9 14-finding-your-flow-with-emma-maidment full 1 14 What if the life that feels right for you isn’t the one you thought you were supposed to be living?

Emma Maidment knows what it looks like to step away from the expected path. After leaving a thriving corporate career in public relations, she built a life centred around wellness, purpose and helping others find their own version of flow.

Emma is an internationally renowned meditation and yoga teacher, speaker, coach and the author of Find Your Flow. She is also the co-founder of Flow States Collective and host of The Flow Lane podcast.

In this conversation, Erin and Emma explore the pressure so many women feel to have everything figured out, the identity shifts that come with motherhood, and what it really means to stop living by all the things you think you “should” be doing.

It’s a conversation about confidence, authenticity, boundaries, nervous system regulation and learning to trust yourself enough to build a life that actually feels like yours.


In this episode she shares:


-     Why finding your flow starts with knowing who you are and making decisions that actually align with that.

-     Simple ways to regulate your nervous system when meditation or taking time out just isn’t realistic.

-     How to stop living by all the things you think you “should” be doing and work out what you actually want.

-     Why motherhood isn’t about finding your old self again, but learning to embrace and build the new version of you.

-     The underlying belief Emma sees holding so many women back and why you don’t need to know everything to have something valuable to offer.

-     Why confidence comes from taking action, not waiting until you finally feel ready.

-     How to rethink self-care so it’s less about adding another thing to your schedule and more about knowing and protecting your boundaries.

-     Why you can’t simply think or manifest your way into a different life without taking the actions to get there.


Key Quotes


“Authenticity is ultimately the gap between what you publicly say and what you privately believe.”


“So many people live their lives based on what they think they should do, based on as opposed to recalibrating and thinking, what do I actually want to do?”

-       How grief inspired her to create You By Alex in honour of her sister.

Loz and I actually connected on Instagram after she shared a story about one of her kids that I could relate to 100%.


We ended up chatting, having a laugh about it, and one conversation turned into another. And that's how she ended up here on the podcast. And I'm so grateful she said yes, because I just knew she'd be someone this community would connect with. What I admire most about Loz is that she isn't afraid to have the conversations that matter. She uses her voice and her platform to help women feel seen, understood, and a little less alone. And I think we all need more of that.


In this episode she shares:


  • Why every child teaches you that there is no perfect parenting formula.
  • How accepting she's an "A-type" personality helped her stop trying to be the mum she's not.
  • Why ambition in mothers is still judged differently to ambition in fathers.
  • What surprised her most about building the Ready or Not podcast.
  • The reality of putting yourself online and dealing with criticism as a content creator.
  • The conversation that completely changed how she supports friends through grief.
  • Why community matters so much for working mums who often feel isolated.
  • How parenting has given her a new appreciation for families raising children with additional needs.

Key Quotes


"There is no secret sauce." 

"If it fails, it fails. You've given it a crack."

"Life has a way of putting little breadcrumbs in there for you."

Today's guest is someone who has such an incredible energy about her. Whenever you're around Lisa Messenger, you can't help but walk away feeling empowered, inspired, and motivated all at once. Lisa has achieved so much, both professionally and personally, but what I admire most is how openly she shares


Every part of her journey, the wins, the challenges, the mistakes, and the lessons. She wants other people to succeed, and she's passionate about encouraging others to back themselves, which is something I absolutely love about her.


Lisa is a mother, entrepreneur, author of 40 non fiction books, and disruptor.

Building businesses that matter, and lives that feel good. She is the founder of Collective Hub and is always creating.


In this episode she shares:


-      How eight years of infertility, eighteen rounds of IVF and surrogacy shaped the way she approaches motherhood today.

-      Why motherhood has been both the greatest joy and the biggest challenge she's ever experienced.

-      The biggest mindset shift that came from stepping away from chasing bigger businesses in favour of building a life with more freedom.

-      Why confidence isn't something you're born with, but something that's built by trying, failing and trying again.

-      The surprising truth behind rebuilding Collective Hub after walking away from a hugely successful brand.

-      Why she believes AI won't replace creativity, but can become one of the most powerful tools founders have.

-      How learning to reinvent herself again and again has kept both her career and life fulfilling.

-      Why choosing joy, protecting your time and letting go of other people's expectations has become her biggest measure of success.


Key Quotes

"I had to break it in order to remake it."

"Please keep reinventing. Please keep leaning into things."

"Does that make me feel alive and does that feel fun and juicy?"

Today's guest is someone who has such an incredible energy about her. Whenever you're around Lisa Messenger, you can't help but walk away feeling empowered, inspired, and motivated all at once. Lisa has achieved so much, both professionally and personally, but what I admire most is how openly she shares


Every part of her journey, the wins, the challenges, the mistakes, and the lessons. She wants other people to succeed, and she's passionate about encouraging others to back themselves, which is something I absolutely love about her.


Lisa is a mother, entrepreneur, author of 40 non fiction books, and disruptor.

Building businesses that matter, and lives that feel good. She is the founder of Collective Hub and is always creating.


In this episode she shares:


-      How eight years of infertility, eighteen rounds of IVF and surrogacy shaped the way she approaches motherhood today.

-      Why motherhood has been both the greatest joy and the biggest challenge she's ever experienced.

-      The biggest mindset shift that came from stepping away from chasing bigger businesses in favour of building a life with more freedom.

-      Why confidence isn't something you're born with, but something that's built by trying, failing and trying again.

-      The surprising truth behind rebuilding Collective Hub after walking away from a hugely successful brand.

-      Why she believes AI won't replace creativity, but can become one of the most powerful tools founders have.

-      How learning to reinvent herself again and again has kept both her career and life fulfilling.

-      Why choosing joy, protecting your time and letting go of other people's expectations has become her biggest measure of success.


Key Quotes

"I had to break it in order to remake it."

"Please keep reinventing. Please keep leaning into things."

"Does that make me feel alive and does that feel fun and juicy?"

]]> 10. Chronic pain, motherhood, and the power of asking for help with Alice Atkins 10. Chronic pain, motherhood, and the power of asking for help with Alice Atkins Sun, 05 Jul 2026 15:00:00 GMT 25:32 6a47466a04fac73b248a906a true https://herethereeverywhere.com.au/ 6a47466a04fac73b248a906a 69fd5988051b78474e08cab9 10 full 1 10

TW: mental heal, anxiety and postpartum struggles


Today's guest is someone whose story I think so many people will quietly relate to.


On the outside, Alice Atkins a devoted mum, partner, and friend, someone who shows up for the people she loves with so much care and consistency. But behind closed doors, her journey has also been one of navigating the highs and lows of mental and physical health, learning how to steady herself through change and figuring out what it really means to feel grounded. What I love about her story is that it's not about perfection or having everything figured out. It's about resilience, self awareness, and the ongoing work of creating a life that feels calm, healthy, and sustainable.

For nearly 19 years, she's quietly battled invisible chronic conditions and mental health challenges. Experiences that have shaped so much of her life yet largely remained hidden. And that's really what the Behind Closed Doors podcast series is all about.



In this episode she shares:


-     How chronic pain, anxiety and postpartum struggles shaped her experience of motherhood.

-     Why asking for help became one of the biggest lessons in her healing journey.

-     How she learnt to stop seeing herself as fragile and recognise her own strength.

-     Why motherhood changed the way she defines success and self-worth.

-     How speaking openly about her struggles helped her connect more deeply with the people around her.

-     The simple ways she regulates her nervous system and protects her wellbeing when life feels overwhelming.

-     Why finding the right support network made such a difference in her recovery.

-     The advice she'd give anyone navigating chronic illness, mental health challenges or a difficult season of life.


Key Quotes


"We were never meant to do this alone."


"When we all stop pretending, that's when things really start to change."


"People often don't know what you are carrying until you tell them."

-      The ongoing conversations around mental load, resentment and partnership

I connected with Madelyn when I did a podcast course with her last year and we founded a genuine friendship. I love her authenticity, kindness, creativity and her belief in ‘trusting the unfolding.”

-     How she of becoming an actress and nearly landed a role on Home and Away.

-     How her son ultimately became one of the greatest blessings and taught her resilience and strength.

-     How she continues to work through a profound fear of judgment and the feeling of not being enough.

-     The reason moving to the Gold Coast transformed her family’s happiness

-     Why she believes in “trusting the unfolding” and letting go of the need to control everything.

-     Why creating supportive communities for women has become central to her purpose.


Key Quotes


“I found out I was pregnant with my son, and I was just, like, devastated. Like, I was honestly devastated.”


“I had two kids under three at home full time while I, you know, still had all my own dreams and ambitions, and I’m, like, trying to record in the walk-in robe at night times and get back to emails.”


“I had a massive, massive fear of judgment, and moving into the online world, like, the rewiring of my mind that I had to do and continue to do has been relentless at times.”
