Shownotes: Trusting The Camino EP #6

In this deeply honest and sometimes hilarious episode, we follow Stéphanie on her second Camino pilgrimage—one she embarks on to heal from severe PTSD after working in remote Indigenous communities in the Arctic.

This journey isn’t just about blisters and bunk beds (though those definitely make an appearance). It’s about rebuilding trust in people, overcoming fear, and learning how to walk through life—literally and metaphorically—with your heart leading the way.

From dog attacks to dodgy beds, from deep pain to personal peace, Stéphanie’s Camino offers powerful takeaways on mental health, resilience, and the slow magic of putting one foot in front of the other.

Topics covered include:

• PTSD and post-trauma healing
• How walking the Camino affects mental health
• Relationship transformations during pilgrimage
• Practical blister treatment tips
• Cultural differences between the French and Spanish Camino routes
• Sleeping with 120 strangers (and snorers)
• Finding peace through trust and presence
• When to throw away your stick and let go of fear

SHOWNOTES: Fear, Moths and Mattresses EP #4

In this cozy, debut episode of In Bed with Phil episode, Toni and Phil dive into the beautiful, hilarious, and occasionally moth-infested terrain of their marriage.

You’ll hear:

• A mattress-carrying mishap that revealed Toni’s epic fear of moths
• Why Phil used to be a danger magnet (car accidents, cliff falls, hypothermia)
• What Toni saw at 19 that made her fall for Phil
• The difference between rushing and meandering through life
• The joys (and uses) of a shared bed

This is a gentle, funny, and heartwarming portrait of two very different people who somehow make it all work. If you’ve ever loved someone who confuses you, you’ll feel right at home.

SHOWNOTES: Bombs, Betrayal and Badassery Ep #2

In this powerful premiere episode, Toni chats with keynote speaker and author Heidi Dening about the terrifying night a group of men tried to burn her and her team alive—and how she clawed her way back from rage to resilience.

This is not your average wellbeing chat. It’s a true-life action movie with grit, grace, and one ridiculous tsunami text-to-voicemail fail. Heidi shares how trauma lives in the body, what helps it move out, and how to turn betrayal into bravery.

Toni and Heidi dive deep into:

• How trauma affects the body and brain
• Why betrayal is harder to heal than violence
• The link between suppressed pain and chronic illness
• How Heidi transformed heartbreak and rage into the bestselling book Her Middle Name is Courage
• Her lessons on habit, routine, and resilience
