On Spirituality, Religion and Dogma
I've wanted to speak into this topic for more than a year now, and this week struck a deeper chord with me.
The show speaks for itself, so I won't try to explain anything here.

So, why is no-one talking about this?
In this episode, Hollie unpacks the (poignant) question: So, why isn't anyone talking about "this" (being the nuanced nature of birth, and postpartum - when it ain't pretty)?

Hollie is back in response to the overwhelming outpouring of love and questions she received from Part 1 and 2 of her pregnancy and birth experience.

Unpacking pregnancy, birth and beyond: Part Two
Soul Talk is back with Season Two after a lengthy hiatus seeing Hollie transition from Maiden to Mother.
In this two-part series, Hollie sits opposite her friend and doula Zoe Bosco and unpacks everything from pre-conception to pregnancy, birth and beyond - the very first time they have sat and spoken to the entirety of the experience, since Hollie birthed her little girl in December 2021.
In Part One of this discussion, Hollie and Zoe speak directly to work completed together in the pre-conception phase, and during Hollie's pregnancy, as well as what that experience was like for Hollie as a first time mother.
In Part Two of this discussion, Hollie speaks candidly, in detail, of the birth of her little girl, including the triumphs, challenges and everything in between. She also touches briefly on early postpartum experiences.
TRIGGER WARNING:
Please use your discretion when listening to both episodes - particularly if you are sensitive to stories about conception, miscarriage, pregnancy, and birth and breastfeeding trauma.
These episodes make direct reference to mental illness including depression, anxiety and PTSD, medical trauma, birth trauma, breastfeeding trauma and challenges faced in new motherhood. Listener discretion is advised. If you need to talk to someone, please contact Lifeline directly on 13 11 14.
Hollie speaks directly to her personal experiences only. Please make decisions based on your own autonomy.

Traumas, and triggers, and numbers - oh my!
The final episode of Season One - Soul Talk is a biggie, which I expected when inviting Nat in to share her incredible wisdom!

* Leaky energy and playing victim
* Self-awareness and taking personal responsibility
* A new take on self-care (featuring excavating traumas…)
* Using numerology as a tool for conscious parenting
* Diving DEEP into “the numbers” - what they mean, and how you can work with yours (so fun!)
* Where to start your trauma healing journey

Episode 06 - Jess
Jess* knows what it’s like to be outcast and shamed. In fact, in this interview her name has been changed because her story is one that is still polarising for her, and perhaps you listening. Feelings of guilt, shame and that lump-in-your-throat-chakra feeling, continue to run rife when she shares this part of her journey. Jess was the “other woman” in an affair - one that taught her much, left her questioning her spirituality and unravelled her to a point of starting anew. In this safe space Jess shares what this experience taught her, and the challenges that arise when you are labelled as the “other”.
*Name has been changed

Episode 5 - Erin
Erin was raised by her mum, and her mum alone. It was just the two of them, no siblings, but that didn’t bother Erin - she had her fiery Sag mumma Deb showing her the ropes, encouraging her love of travel and teaching her all of life’s lessons. When Deb got sick, she kept the severity of it under-wraps - not wanting to interrupt Erin’s once-in-a-lifetime Europe trip. However, the trip was cut short despite Deb’s wishes, with Erin rushing home to be by her bedside and say goodbye. A heartbreaking story of grieving a parent when it feels far too early to be saying goodbye, Erin’s story teaches us how to transform grief into gratitude, the strength she cultivated through EFT, and the legacy Deb left behind that we can all live by.

Episode 4 - Paddy
Growing up in Northern Ireland, Paddy was privy to the energy that can occur through misdirected anger and hatred. Not a stranger to street fighting, violence and the ego-fuelled nature of being an adolescent in a violent community, how did Paddy manage to turn his whole life around? An inspiring tale of Paddy’s journey - from his upbringing in Derry, to following the “niggles” to Australia, to what happened in a breathwork circle in Mexico - and everything in between.
Trigger warning - we briefly touch on suicide at the 19 minute mark.

Episode 3 - Tayla
For some of you, Tayla may be a familiar face. Whether you know of her or not is besides the point. In this firey, easily excitable convo (Leo meets Sag!) Tay shares a side of her that managers in the past deterred her from sharing: a real, spiritual, soulful and intuitive side, who frankly talks about her ability to feel spirits, with a refreshing pragmatism when it comes to what death can teach us about living.
Since recording, Tayla has launched her business Angel Energy Co - branching out of what the "mainstream" desire from her, and honouring her unique relationship with spirituality.
Trigger warning: this episode touches on death and spirits. Listener discretion is advised.

Episode 2 - Sharni
Trigger Warning: Listener, please note that in today's episode of Soul Talk we discuss stillbirth, miscarriage and grief. Listener discretion is advised. If you need help, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.
Sharni is the type of gal who lights up a room. Confident, funny and, yes, your typical #Leo - she's the life of any party. When she fell pregnant for the first time, this didn't change. Until it all did. Sharni shares her courageous story of grief and loss, in birthing her firstborn Jai into a world he would never get to experience. And how, above all things, this experience connected her with spirit and love, more than anything ever has.
This episode is dedicated to Jai Pitman. x

Episode 1 - Lily
Lily started her business at 22. She was living the high life, “partying like a rockstar” and trailblazing the talent-management industry. Then, her life changed. Lily had a serious accident and tore her spinal cord at 28 - her brain was literally being sucked down her spine. She lay wide awake during 4 failed spinal operations. For 14 months she couldn’t do anything but lie flat on her back - no pillow, no screen time, nothing but her mind… In the first episode of Soul Talk Lily shares how she got through an experience that would destroy even the most courageous. An inspiring tale of grit, resilience and hope.
