I sat down with Divya Darling @divdarl from @illuminate.the.infinite to talk all things transcendental brain training.
In this episode we are talking about Divya’s story. We are talking about her struggles growing up and how these very dark times lead her down a path of studying Neuroscience & Psychology.
Divya plays in the intersection of science & spirituality. Weaving together her academic background in Neuroscience & Psychology, her decade of experience in coaching visionaries & her love of yoga, she developed Transcendental Brain Training - an energetic technology supporting human beings to enLIGHTen UP.
We are diving deep into what Transcendental Brain Training is, how it works and how Divya is supporting her clients on their journey. We are also deep diving into what consciousness has to do with it all. We are exploring strategies for achieving soul aligned success and talk about how healing happens on a deep level.
Divya is such an incredible human who is sharing her knowledge and wisdom with the world and who is truly here to serve others and support them on their journey to live a more fulfilled life.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to embrace pain, knowing that you are already perfect as you are and all the world needs from you is to be you.

I sat down with Mel Clare @bodybrightmassage to talk about Women’s Bodywork and how we can find our way back to our Divine Self.
In this episode Mel shares how she made a transition from the corporate world to work in a place of healing and nourishment. Mel is a Massage Therapist who is passionate about Birth, women's health & wellness.
We are exploring some of the methods that Mel is using to support emotional wellbeing & health, muscular restrictions & injuries, fertility & pregnancy, digestion, trauma and grief. Her treatments resolve imbalances & dis-ease within the physical body and bring balance & harmony to the emotional body.
We are also talking about being a woman, what it means to be a cyclic being and how women change when they become mothers, but also, how women generally go through so many stages in their lives that are filled with beauty and wisdom.
We are discussing the complexities around feminine and masculine energies and what a world would look like if women as well as men could embrace a little bit more of their divine feminine.
We are exploring how her mission to support healing is driving her and how she is supporting women to come back into a state of being their divine selves.
A mother of two beautiful girls, Mel is such a beautiful soul who is deeply nurturing and is holding space beautifully for women and men in all that life throws at them.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to pause, slow down and be so you can also find your way back to your divine self.

#005: About Consciousness and the Next Phase of Human Evolution
I sat down with Sara de Clercq from YES& to talk all things consciousness and the next level of human evolution.
In this episode we are talking about integral theory & coaching, the ins and outs of the stages of consciousness by Ken Wilber, both from an individual as well as a collective point of view, the levels of development and the difference between growing up and waking up in human evolution for a a regenerative human presence on this planet.
We are talking about how the re-framing of challenges into opportunities can help us to learn from those moments and grow as a person. We are discussing how the more self work we do, the less conditioning our children will bring into this world, why it is so important to live life in the present and why we should all strive to live our own truth.
Sara is such a beautiful human and she holds an incredible amount of depth and knowledge across so many areas in this realm.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to explore your own consciousness, where you are currently sitting and if, where you would like to actively grow to in this life?
This is an incredibly deep and at times complex conversation. I certainly walked out of my time with Sara with a better understanding of myself and others and I hope this episode will support you to do the same.
Imagine a kinder world, one where we see everyone and everything as alive and evolving, where love and joy are the feelings that prevail.

I sat down with Kristina Freeman from Grow your Mind @growyourmind.life to talk all things mental health and wellbeing for children.
In this episode we are talking about about mental health and wellbeing in children. We're talking about why it is so important to educate and teach our children from a very young age to talk about their feelings and emotions. We are talking about how we can best do this and how our children can teach us a thing or two in return. And you will find out what elephants, guard dogs and other animals have to do with it all.
Kristina has a deep understanding and knowledge of how to talk to children about mental health and wellbeing. Kristina has also co-developed tools on how to teach children the right strategies to build resilience.
I really hope that this conversation is inspiring you to talk to your children openly and honestly about those topics and to open up the conversation in your home even though it isn't always easy to do. Don't be scared of it, step into this space and remember that you are doing it to give your children the best possible way to deal with potential mental health and wellbeing issues that they might cross paths with in their life. Start teaching them from a very early age how to deal with their emotions, how to deal with their feelings and how to build resilience and practice tools to get out of challenging times.
This is such an incredibly important conversation to have. We can all do our bit to raise our next generation to be able to talk about mental health and wellbeing the way we talk about physical wellbeing. Imagine a generation where it is normal to be vulnerable, honest and open about the struggles that most people go through at some point in their lives.
I also hope that this episode inspires you to start showing vulnerability and openness. If we are confident to step into that space, our children will feel far more inclined to do so as well.

I sat down with Tash Pinter @tashpinter to explore her powerful journey of overcoming domestic violence and transforming darkness into light and empowerment.
In this episode we talk about Tash’s story and what it means for a child to grow up with domestic violence.
We are talking about how this has impacted her, which path it led to, the struggles along the way and how dance became her lifeline during the most difficult of times.
We explore how discovering yoga was the turning point into a better life and how Tantra, Hatha Yoga, Kriya and meditative philosophy has ultimately sent her on a path of transformation and inner healing.
We delve into the lasting impacts of domestic violence, generational trauma and the transformative power of self-love and awareness.
Tash is a beautiful human who is devoted to the path of healing and using her lived experience to support others on their journeys.
My hope is that Tash’s words bring you comfort, strength, and the reminder that even the deepest challenges can be overcome.

I sat down with Sofia Silchenko @sofiasilcenko to talk all things Naturopathy.
In this episode we are talking about what Naturopathy is, how it works and how it can support us to lead a better and healthier life both for our body as well as for our minds.
We are talking about how Naturopathy is looking at the root causes of disease and doesn't just fix the symptoms but looks at where the problems are originating and why.
We are also exploring how food influences our health both physically as well as mentally and we are looking at how positive mindsets and the right choices can support our overall wellbeing.
Sofia is a Naturopath and a Clinical Nutritionist and she is holding an immensely broad perspective on health. She is a beautiful soul who truly holds a high standard for supporting her clients to achieve optimal health so they can live a happy and healthy life, even with a glass of wine in their hands.
Imagine a world where everyone is supported to live their best possible life when it comes to physical health and mental wellbeing and where practitioners would work together for the optimal outcome for each and everyone. Wouldn’t that be a beautiful world to live in?
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to look at natural ways of supporting your body and start asking questions about the underlying cause of issues that might manifest in your life both physically as well as mentally.

#026: How to Change our Limiting Beliefs and the Stories we are telling Ourselves
I sat down with Nat Bristowe @nat_bristowe_coaching to talk all things mindset and empowerment.
In this episode we are talking about Nat’s story. We are talking about her life in London, being diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, how she overcame it and why she made the move to Sydney.
We are talking about her journey into becoming a life coach focusing on mindset and empowerment tools and how she is supporting her clients to achieve anything they put their mind to.
We are diving deep into NLP, Timeline Therapy, Hypnotherapy and are unpacking how Nat works with these modalities in order to support people along their journeys.
We are talking about limiting beliefs, the stories we are telling ourselves, the critical faculty and secondary gain and we are so good at telling ourselves stories in order to hold us back.
So many of these stories run on a subconscious level and they manifest our reality, so catching that and changing our language can make a huge difference in reaching our goals. We are exploring how we use language to make those changes and ask questions in order to gain awareness.
Nat is the most energetic, positive person and it is truly beautiful to witness her passion in how she is supporting her community of clients to live a truly fulfilling life and know that anything is possible - if you put your mind to it.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to re-think your language, your belief systems and the stories you are telling yourself and be empowered to make the changes in your life that you so deeply desire.
