When Shame Shows Up with Kyira Wackett
The topic of shame has been coming up for me a lot lately. It’s often such a deeply ingrained, insidious and in my opinion, largely unhelpful emotion because of the way it tends to run on a loop and feed on itself…unless of course we have the ability to recognise it and learn to build, what my guest this week, calls shame resilience.
Kyira Wackett is a licensed mental health therapist who specialises in shame and anxiety, eating disorders and trauma. Kyira is also the survivor of complex childhood trauma, in recovery from PTSD and a severe eating disorder and a mama to a 3 year old girl.
In this deeply personal and insightful chat, Kyira shares her thoughts and expertise on shame including:
* The concept of shame, including how to build what she describes as shame resilience
* Having deep conversations in both formal and informal settings, asking for help and building connection with other humans
* Accessing therapy and support, including alternative methods other than therapy (especially within a heavily burdened health system) and some of the pro’s and con’s of accessing help, particularly in the online space
* How, when seeking help and it doesn’t working out as we hoped can lead us to think it’s us that’s broken, when that’s certainly not the case
* Super helpful and practical tips on how to choose the right support for you
* The impact of childhood trauma, insecure attachment and how our sense of self is developed from our core beliefs and subsequent shame identity.
* Parenthood and the importance of making shame resilient choices that work for you and don’t reflect the views (and/or shame and judgement) of others.
Kyira Wackett is a licensed mental health therapist specialising in shame and anxiety. She is the owner of Adversity Rising, a company who equips people with the confidence and skills to write their own stories. Her work ranges from one on one coaching to corporate wellness packages with a focus on what she calls the anti-band-aid movement or resisting the quick fix in favor of doing the work necessary to make meaningful and sustainable change. The highlight of her work is her signature program, That Life AR, where she walks people through her 5-step therapeutic process she believes can combat any pain point that comes our way because we all deserve to live a life in which we can thrive.

The Wonderful World of Crystals with Sara Bryki
Growing up I knew a lot about crystals. I loved saving up my money and picking out a new crystal. I had a pink laminated card, kind of like a crystal "cheat sheet" and I learnt all about which crystal was for what. But over time, I lost connection to that part of me, only coming back to it in the past few years, re-discovering the wonderfully sparkly and high vibe world of crystals. Having a crystal expert has been high on my list since starting the podcast and I’m really excited to share this chat with Sara Bryki with you.
Sara is a Certified Crystal Healer, a dog mom to four fur-babies and a lover of all things crystals. Whether you’re new to the world of crystals or a long time lover of these magical gems, I’m sure you will love this high vibe chat.
Sara shares how she came to work with crystals, and some amazing tips on how to work with crystals including:
* Working through major transitions in life including crystals to support the grieving process and why they help. Not just grieving the loss of a loved one, but also in the loss of relationships, futures, ideas, limiting beliefs, changes in circumstances.
* Her journey from a 20-year healthcare administration career to doing her souls work
* Energetics, frequency and the magic of crystals
* How crystals help us to connect more with ourselves, our world around us, our loved ones.
* How to incorporate crystals into your everyday practice, including specific crystals to support you at different times.
Sara Bryki is super passionate about helping others see and feel how crystals can help them 'remember' and connect with their true selves! Sara is the CEO of Sara Bryki Co. and Bryki Gallery where they specialize in high-end, curated crystals, crystal education and bringing people together in heart-centred communities.

Healing Our Heart and Body After Birth with Prudence Todd
I’m so honoured to share this beautiful chat between two mama’s all about healing our heart and body after birth. As a previous Midwife, Registered Nurse, Bodytalk practitioner and now Holistic Pelvic Care Practitioner and Restorative Pilates Instructor, Prudence Todd (a mama of 4!) helps women heal their heart and body after birth trauma with her online and in person healing sessions.
Although I wouldn’t have considered giving birth to my daughter to be particularly traumatic in itself, I now acknowledge that there are elements of trauma around my pregnancy and birth that deserve to be honoured, acknowledge and grieved. And you know that I’m so here for sharing these stories and talking about the things we don’t talk about enough!
In this episode, Prudence and I chat about:
* Our individual and very different birth stories, with both resulting in trauma, grief and requiring significant healing
* What birth trauma is and why it may be different (or more broad) than what you think
* How Prudence works with her clients to support them post birth and processing trauma
* The importance of prioritising ourselves as mama’s including treating ourselves with love and compassion
* How to tune in and listen to our body and what she needs (including a practical example of how to do this in any moment)
* Navigating relationships through parenting and dealing with our own layers of trauma
Prudence Todd is the Founder of Your Womanhood and deeply passionate about women’s experience of womanhood, birth and beyond. She specialises in guiding women to reconnect with their bodies, access their intuitive wisdom and medicine within and in turn heal pelvic floor trauma and dysfunction. Prudence believes our womanhood is the portal to so much that rests within in us and that birth and pelvic floor dysfunction calls us home to address these issues. Prudence loves to gather women together across cultures and generations to share wisdoms and give language to what women experience in their body’s as a birthing woman. Prudence loves surfing with her family, spending time with their new puppy and being in nature.
Prudence has also kindly offered a 10% discount to listeners of This Messy, Beautiful life. Please mention the podcast at the time of booking to take advantage of this beautiful offer.

A Second Chance at Life with Carrie Serati Gobble
This week’s episode is a very personal and inspiring chat with Carrie Serati Gobble who shares her story of growing up with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and requiring a bi-lateral lung transplant by the age of 27.
Carrie’s optimistic outlook on life in the face of significant health challenges and a shortened life expectancy, is nothing short of remarkable and I’m sure, like me, you will be inspired to go out and make the most of your day after listening to this beautiful, authentic and vulnerable chat.
Carrie shares her very personal story, including:
* Growing up with CF, including how her diagnosis of CF came with a litany of treatments to help keep her alive. Despite CF coming with a shortened life expectancy, Carrie talks about how she lived her life as parallel to other kids as possible.
* The lead up to her double lung transplant including the fears and reality of facing such a significant procedure at a young age, while knowing it was the thing that would save her life Life post her double lung transplant and what she sees as her second chance at life, including meeting her now husband Gary who was her mentor (these two have such a sweet love story that will warm your heart!)
* The numerous complications with her health since the lung transplant, including new diagnoses, but sees her experiences as fuel to help others navigate their own health concerns.
* Her passion for mentoring, and the volunteer work she does with local chapters of organizations supporting organ transplant, cystic fibrosis and the transplant program where she received her life saving lung transplant.
* The importance of mental health awareness and professional support in the medical system
* Her heartfelt request for people to consider the gift of organ donation.
Carrie Serati Gobble is a true warrior and survivor. Carrie uses her health experiences as a platform for personal advocacy when it comes to managing your own health care and is aiming to push for mental health professionals to be a part of the lung transplant program staff. Seeing a real need to assist patients enduring post traumatic stress due to complications with medical procedures as well as to help patients navigate a life they didn't foresee after their transplant. Carries does it all with a sense of humor and humility that has been learned over time. As well as with the support of her family, friends, health care providers, and most importantly her husband Gary.

Take Back Your Personal Power with Chelsea Webster
Today I’m speaking with Chelsea Webster all about personal power and how we can take it back to find purpose in life. This is such an important topic and something I believe we don’t talk about enough.
Giving away our personal power tends to happen over time and can sneak up on us. It’s when we make choices to abandon our own wants, needs and values and put the needs and opinions of others ahead of our own, leading to resentment, frustration and burnout.
In this chat, Chelsea and I cover:
· Some of the ways we give away our personal power, where it stems from and how it shows up
· Some of the signs you may have given away your personal power
· Steps to take to start taking back your personal power
· The power of epigenetics and clearing limiting beliefs
· The importance and value of understanding our individual humanness and unique needs
Chelsea is a Mum of two teenagers and a Registered Nurse who has worked in the healthcare industry for 20 years. Over her time in the Health care industry, she’s experienced challenging workplace cultures and personalities which left her frustrated, burnt out and overwhelmed. This led her to gain qualifications in the field of emotional healthcare and to start Create Your Glow. She now works with and empowers frustrated, burnt out and overwhelmed women to uncover and eliminate their limiting beliefs and emotions which allows them to live the life they deserve and find their inner glow!

Life Lessons, Big Decisions and Prioritising Me!
It's finally here...the long awaited life update, alongside some big life lessons and reflections that have already dropped in for 2023!
As you may know, we've been travelling as a family since June 2022 and as the new year was upon us (and the longest time we thought we'd be away was upon us), we had a big decision to make! Where to next? Back to Australia? On to somewhere new? Or commit to settling in the place we've loved most in our travels? I'm sharing the big and exciting decision we made and all of the fun things that come with it!
Alongside that big decision, this year has already been a time for deep reflection and big realisations. For taking a further step back from the online world, a pause in podcasting and more time to focus on real life...family, friends and most importantly prioritising me! The online world is proving more and more challenging for many people, and I share my thoughts on what's (often unfairly) expected of us in this world and why I'm taking an even bigger step back.
I also share how I've realised that the amount of time, energy and attention I've been giving to others is partly related to my trauma response and is in at least a small part (maybe more!) allowing me to distract from truly focusing on myself, my self care and my healing. So I'm saying enough is enough and declaring that 2023 is going to be all about me!

Energy is Everything with Reiki_With_Sam
Here’s another fabulous guest episode that was originally recorded in my (now closed) Facebook Group, The Consciousness Collective and now coming to you via the podcast!
Talking and learning about energy is one of my favourite things, because for so long I had no idea about the importance and existence of energy. Finding out about it explained a lot of previously inexplainable things for me; like why I seemed to feel other people’s emotions or why some environments made me feel really icky (and not because I was some precious princess!).
This episode will especially resonate for those who sit on the more sensitive and/or intuitive end of the scale, but I think everyone will enjoy this chat with Sam, Energy Healer and Psychic where we talk about how energy really is everything!
Sam and I cover:
* Energy healing modalities
* Being your own energy healer
* The importance of decluttering things (and people!) from your life to call in wonderful and aligned abundance including money, jobs and relationships
* Tips for tapping into, and managing your own energy
The book Sam references in the episode, It’s Not Your Money, can be found here https://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Your-Money-Abundance/dp/1401954731
Sam has limited availability for her distance Reiki and Psychic Healing sessions (that I highly recommend, they are SO powerful!), however you can make contact with her via DM on Instagram (details below).

What Does it Mean to be "Busy"?
Ok, so I know I've been promising a life update for a while now, but TBH life and things are changing at such a rapid pace I'm just not in a position to properly share. BUT, I promise when I'm ready I'll be in here to share with you all the updates, along with the inevitable life lessons that come along with it!
In the meantime I wanted to share this short episode with you. It was originally recorded as an IG live around the time when we were preparing to leave Australia last year, with the lessons contained in it, just as relevant to this day.
I talk all about the notion of busy-ness and how changing my mindset and the stories I was telling myself about how busy I was, has contributed to changing the way I operate in life and business. It was off the back of a very "busy" week, where I gained some incredibly valuable insights and in real time was learning how to let go of the "busy badge" that I held on to for so long.
Perfect for anyone who gets caught up in the busyness of what needs to be done, or a nice little reminder for those of us who have made conscious changes in this space, but slip up from time to time ;)

We Are Not Our Stories with Petia Kolibova
This week we’re back with my first guest episode for the year, a positive and abundant chat with Petia Kolibova, an alignment women’s coach who guides women to intuitively connect with their inner vision so they can experience personal and professional magnetism and become unapologetically abundant.
In the earlier decades of her life, Petia let the stories about who she was and how she came to be overshadow her, leading to unhappiness, unhealthy relationships with others and herself and a lot of time running away. It wasn’t until she realised that these stories were not her truth that she began to heal and open herself up to remembering who she truly was.
Petia and I talk all about:
* Shedding the stories that shape us, because we are not our stories, but if we let them they can take over our life
* Creating sacred pause in our day, week and life (I simply love this notion, you're going to want to implement this one!)
* Choosing how we feel in any moment and using this to guide us in our dreams, goals, and actions
* Starting the year with intention, while also being gentle with yourself and doing it in a way that works for you
* Creating balance between the sacred masculine and feminine in life and business and why it’s so important
Petia’s mission is to empower visionaries who are on the path to embody their fullest self-expression to soulfully expand into a quantum leap in all dimensions of their lives. Petia gives immense clarity + exact steps to unlock women’s divine feminine and abundance mindset. Through subconscious work as a certified breathwork facilitator, reiki, NLP & Human Design practitioner, she leads her 6 and 7 figure clients to their next level in life and business. If she is not interviewing fellow experts on her podcast Unapologetically Abundant, you’ll find her traveling the world with her husband, hosting retreats, or reading.

New Year Visualisation Meditation
Hello 2023, and welcome back to Season 2 of This Messy, Beautiful Life!
I have a beautiful visualisation meditation to share with you and support you in your 2023 visioning and goal setting process. No matter where you are in the process, this meditation will provide you with an opportunity to reflect on the year that’s been, leave it behind (with love) and welcome 2023 with a clear vision of what you’d like to achieve this year. (Also, if you're listening back to this episode, it's relevant for any new year and/or at a time when you're honouring endings and beginnings)
I recommend finding a quiet space and at least 30/40 minutes, which includes time after the mediation do some journalling. In your journalling, reflect on what came up for you during the visioning visualisation. Let it all flow out and this can either be the beginning of your 2023 vision, or support the work you've already done.
The meditation starts at 06:21.

Do Ethics Exist in Online Coaching? with Rachel Kurzp
If you’ve been on this journey with me for a while, you know that I’ve been questioning the impact of the online coaching industry and my role in it for a while now. I know that I’m not alone in this feeling, both from conversations I’ve been having and other people speaking out on social media. This chat today is a deep dive with another fabulous coach who has also been questioning the lack of humanity and in same cases the questionable ethics of what she sees online.
Rachel Kurzp is a marketing coach, copywriter, speaker and teacher. She supports multi-passionate women to build an aligned, ethical and profitable business without having to choose between their passions, compromise their values, and use unethical marketing tactics.
With the new year around the corner, if you've been thinking about working with a coach in 2023, you're going to want to listen to this episode, where Rachel and I talk all about:

The Joy of Slowing Down (Part 2)
This week's episode is drawing a connection back to my second episode, The Joy of Slowing Down (Part 2) where I share with you, just how important slowing down has become to me in the past 12 months. What started this time last year as my "33 days of joy" has become a full blown commitment to myself, as well as supporting others in honouring our need for rest.
I have such a deep belief that taking the time to slow down is essential in any journey of healing. Because if we can't take the time to pause, be present and connect to our mind, body and soul, then we're unlikely to be able to cultivate the type of awareness to really tune into what we want and need in our own healing. If you're resisting the urge to slow down, it's an invitation to check in with yourself as to what you might be avoiding. Believe me, I've been there many times.
I talk about the universe's little nudge (ahem, push down the stairs!) to remind me to slow down, the experiment I've undertaken these past few weeks…

How Childhood Trauma Shapes Us + Setting Holiday Boundaries
Oooh, this is a juicy episode! I've been wanting to talk more about childhood trauma and how that shows up in our life and relationships for some time, and what better time than the holiday season, where let's be honest family events can trigger the sh*t out of us! So I'm talking all things family trauma AND how to set boundaries that support you over this period.
I first learnt about the concept of how our childhood trauma shapes us from my therapist back in 2015 (when I was going through a traumatic separation), and she shared all about attachment theory and how attachment styles formed during childhood show up in our adult relationships. It gave me such a great framework to begin to understand who I was and why I had some of the thinking and relational patterns that I did (and still do TBH!). Fast forward to a few years ago and I discovered Dr Nicole Le Pera and her book How To Do The Work, next level game changer on all things trauma and mind, body, soul healing.

Why Does it Feel So Fucking Good to Share?
This episode's coming in hot after some recent conversations (just two in the last week) where people have said "I feel SO much better having just spoken about it".
It got me thinking, why is it such a surprise that sharing feels better and why does it actually feel better to share what we're thinking and how we're feeling? We live in a world where we've been taught to keep things to ourself, to not show vulnerability and to feel shame if we're not coping. When actually, as humans, we're built for connection...we're not meant to struggle through on our own!
In this solo episode I'm sharing some of the reasons why it feels so good to share and some tips for how to set up these conversations for success. I cover some science behind what happens in our brain when we express emotions, how speaking our emotions and feelings out loud helps us understand them better, helps us form connections and makes us feel less alone. It's also my experience that it's very rare for someone to not be a…

Oh how I love a birthday! It's a day of the year that legitimately gets to be all about you and your joy (if you allow it ;) ). I believe we should all be celebrated on the regular, but what better day than the day you entered the world (in this life!)?!
As I head into the week of my 42nd Birthday (shhh!!) I take the time to stop and reflect on what's happened in the past year and how I've healed, grown and explored joy throughout. From the last two birthday's spent in lockdown, it almost feels like a dream to be celebrating our birthday's (all 3 of us are Librans with birthdays within 10 days of each other) here in tropical paradise, on the beach with our new Bali friends.
Is this a little self indulgent? Hmmmm, I get why it might seem like that...I do enjoy a moment to stop and reflect, but as always I share these things in the hope it inspires, empowers and/or gives others permission to acknowledge we're all a work in progress and we get to make mistakes and learn as we figu…

Our Messy, Beautiful Philippines Experience with Rob Ruben
This week’s episode is another guest episode with my partner, Rob talking all about our experience visiting family in his birth place of the Philippines.
I feel like I need to include a bit of a disclaimer here. Our chat is a reflection of our lived experience and observations of being in the Philippines for the past month+, and of Rob’s experience growing up here before migrating to Australia (on his own) in 2015. We’re not experts in all of the topics we’re discussing, nor do we intend to speak on behalf of, or about an entire country based on our experience. I am particularly aware that I’m a guest here and this is not my culture, and I’m also coming from a place of privilege. I’m also aware that some of my views are influenced/ supported by Rob’s lived experience as Filipino born and raised.
But actually, in many ways, I think our chat beautifully reflects some of the messy, beautiful mixed feelings and emotions that migrants have relating to their home country, p…

Living an Intentional AF Life!
Y’all seem to love the solo episodes, and here’s another one coming at you from the Philippines where I’m living my most intentional and authentic life!
The feedback I get most often is that people love how I do things my way. That I follow my heart and my intuition and do what’s right for me. Even when it’s scary. Or might not make sense to other people. And I want that for you too!
So, in this episode I’m sharing all things living an intentional AF life, including the framework I’ve used personally and with my clients to help us live a life where we follow our heart and our intuition. To know that we don’t have to live an ordinary life or live by someone else’s version of success. Because we get to pave our own path and make our own rules!
Come join me as I share;
My four step framework for living an intentional life;

Annie shares her view on why indie travel is the best way to travel, the importance of flexibility (and how travel teaches us to be flexible) and finding ourselves through travel.

Understanding Our Trauma Responses with Julie Lamb
Join me in this week’s episode with Julie Lamb, where we talk all about childhood trauma and how it affects us as adults. Julie shares with us the four trauma responses; Fight, Flight Freeze or Fawn, identifying our own default trauma response and some practical tips to manage through it.
We talk about the difference between Big T Trauma and Little t trauma that occurs in childhood and then shows up in our adult life as those protective behaviours that served us in our early years, become unhelpful or problematic in our adult lives particularly in relationships and parenting.
My own personal journey and learning on the topics of mental health and healing has led me to understand how much of a role trauma plays in many of our lives. Having access to this this information and becoming conscious of our own patterns, is key to our ability to be able to make change.

How I make decisions from a heart/soul/intuition led place and feel into my body rather than over analysing and using pros and cons lists like the old (overthinking!) me would have.
Trusting that there’s a bigger plan and everything’s working out for us.
Recognising the duality of our emotions and feeling all the feels, because even when we trust that everything’s happening for a reason, it’s ok to still have conflicting (or even “negative”) emotions come up.
Being mindful of how I’m feeling on any given day or moment and understanding that I have the choice to either honour or shift that energy.
Being present in the moment and finding joy in the little things. If you…

Molly shares her experience of shifting her perspective and re-writing her own story, through managing anxiety and depression and as a new mama who spent three months in the NICU with her son with no idea how to balance the needs of caring for him with her own. Molly is all about shifting the narrative about mama’s, the guilt they feel, their responsibilities and the view that there’s a certain way we should feel about being a mama (hint; it's not all sunshine and unicorns!).

Jacqui shares the power of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) Tapping, the importance of self-compassion, being woo sceptical and the (unintentional) damage done by the self-help and positive psychology movement.

From Trauma and Addiction to Healing Others with Adam Miller
This episode is a vulnerable and inspiring chat with Adam Miller. Adam shares his remarkable story of overcoming trauma and addiction and the importance of aligning spiritually to be our best self, regardless of the external circumstances we find ourselves in.
Adam talks about coming from a good family but one that had lots of mental illness, leading to his own personal experience with mental illness. In the absence of being able to get “the right” help early in life, Adam began self-medicating which lead to nine years of addiction. Adam shares his story of coming through that, beginning with a stint in rehab and the self-healing journey he has undertaken since in his quest for inner peace and joy in his life.
The thing that stood out to me most throughout Adam’s story, is his determination to seek answers, and find help and support in order to be the best version of himself. If you’re seeking some inspiration about the power of healing and the ability of individuals to ove…

The Joy of Slowing Down
These last two years have been HECTIC for everyone. On top of "you know what" we've also brought a baby into the world, juggled three businesses between us (one starting up, another closing down), moved house and tried to navigate all of the things that have come up along the way.
By the end of 2021, I was EXHAUSTED and I made an out of character decision to take a step back from everything and focus on what brought me joy. Sounds like fun right? Well it was great to begin with and then all the shadow work started to appear.
In this second episode I talk all about the fear of slowing down, setting boundaries while maintaining relationships, trusting that everything is happening for us, not to us and the power that comes from prioritising our own needs in order to be the best version of ourselves for ourselves (and others).
