What if the very thing you've been taught to fear is actually key to healing?

This episode is a mind-opening conversation with Tania de Jong, a social entrepreneur, performer, and founder of Mind Medicine Australia. Tania shares her unbelievable story: a woman who never touched drugs, never got drunk, and yet found herself stepping into the world of psychedelics for healing.

We get honest about the broken mental health system, the trauma we carry (including intergenerational wounds), and why ancient medicines are finding their rightful place in modern healing. Tania doesn’t just talk theory, she walks us through her personal experience, the science, and what it’s taken to bring psychedelic therapy into the mainstream in Australia.

If you've ever felt let down by conventional treatments, or you're searching for hope in the darkest corners of anxiety, PTSD, or depression, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss.

Key Takeaways

Psychedelics as Medicine – Plant medicines like psilocybin and MDMA offer profound healing far beyond conventional treatments.

The Power of One Dose – Just 2–3 carefully administered psychedelic therapy sessions can produce up to 80% remission in depression and PTSD.

Healing Through Connection – The root of many mental illnesses is disconnection; psychedelics work by restoring a deep sense of unity with self and others.

Ancient Wisdom, Modern Science – These aren't new solutions—they're ancient healing tools finally supported by today’s research.

The Mental Health Crisis is Real – One in four Australians suffers from mental illness, and traditional approaches are often falling short.

Hope is Here – Legal, safe psychedelic therapy is now available in Australia—and it's already transforming lives.

Have you ever sat in total frustration thinking, “Why can’t I keep up?” or “What’s wrong with me?” You’ve done the supplements, the hormone testing, the self-care. You’re trying all the “right” things, and yet you're still exhausted, still not yourself.

This conversation with Human Design expert Aviva Joffe is the permission slip so many of us need. After walking away from a career in New York fashion, feeling completely burnt out, Aviva returned to Melbourne and discovered Human Design in the quiet of the pandemic. It was a full-body exhale. Her chart explained the way she naturally functions something she’d always felt but never understood.

Now, Aviva helps others do the same. Whether you’re navigating a career change, relationship shift, or hormonal rollercoaster, this episode will help you understand your energy, trust your intuition, and stop living by rules that were never meant for you.

Key Takeaways

Your energy type matters – Understanding how you’re built to operate helps you stop burning out and start thriving.

Burnout isn’t always hormonal – Many women are energetically misaligned, not broken.

Stop comparing – You weren’t meant to work, rest, or parent like anyone else.

Live by your design – When you align with your natural energy, decision-making gets easier.

Clarity over hustle – Human Design helps you work smarter by honoring your internal compass.

Self-trust is everything – You don’t need to be fixed. You need to remember who you are.

After being diagnosed with premature menopause, going through failed IVF rounds, and sitting with the grief of it all, Jennifer Edmonds was told her chances of having another baby were close to none. But her body had other plans.

During the stillness of lockdown, Jennifer stumbled across fertility yoga. She wasn’t chasing results anymore. She was simply giving herself permission to pause. What followed was a profound shift in her health, her nervous system, and eventually a natural pregnancy she never thought possible. We talked about medical misdiagnosis, cortisol, trauma, and how powerful it can be to tune back into the rhythms of your own body.

For any woman who’s ever felt like the system has failed her, or her body has let her down, Jennifer’s story is one of possibility, self-trust, and unexpected healing.

Key Takeaways

Misdiagnosis Isn’t the End – Jennifer was told she was in menopause, but her body proved otherwise once it had the space and support to heal.

Nervous System First – Chronic stress, insomnia, and hormone imbalance all began to shift when Jennifer focused on calming her nervous system.

Fertility Yoga with Purpose – Matching movement to each phase of the cycle helped regulate hormones, improve sleep, and bring the body back into rhythm.

Doing Less to Heal More – Letting go of constant appointments, supplements, and pressure gave her body room to do what it was designed to do.

Safety Over Strategy – It wasn’t another protocol that worked—it was the embodied feeling of safety that allowed her body to conceive.

From Pressure to Possibility – When she stopped pushing and surrendered to presence, the path to natural conception became clear.

You’ve been told your hormone blood tests are “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, bloated, moody, or just plain off. So... what gives?

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down exactly why conventional blood testing often fails to give women real answers about their hormone health. If you’ve ever walked out of a doctor’s office with results that don’t match how you actually feel, this conversation is for you. I’ll walk you through the common gaps in standard testing, how reference ranges are outdated, and why your symptoms matter more than the numbers on a lab report.

It’s time to stop settling for confusion. You deserve better answers, and it starts with asking the right questions, and knowing what kind of testing will really support your healing.

Key Takeaways

Your symptoms speak louder than your labs – How you feel is always more important than what the paper says.

Standard blood tests miss key hormones – Many GPs only order basic panels, skipping critical markers like progesterone, T3, and thyroid antibodies.

Outdated reference ranges distort results – Most labs still use old ranges, especially for thyroid, leaving many women misdiagnosed or ignored.

You can ask for better testing – Functional ranges and cycle-aware hormone testing reveal far more than generic bloodwork.

Test timing makes or breaks results – Day 21 or 7 days post-ovulation is ideal for sex hormone testing; thyroid should be tested consistently at the same time.

Invest in the right eyes – Independent labs and expert interpretation are often the only way to get real clarity about your hormones.

Let’s talk about the supplement industry—and why so much of it is failing women.

In this raw, uplifting and incredibly educational conversation, I’m joined by Sheridan Joy Austin, the beautiful mind and founder behind Foraged For You, to dive into what it really takes to nourish our bodies—especially in pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause. Sheridan opens up about how her own unexpected pregnancy revealed the gaps in prenatal nutrition and how that led to the creation of her now cult-favourite wholefood blend, The Mother’s Blend. We talk liver, folate, iron, vitamin A, and why isolating nutrients in synthetic supplements often creates more harm than good. Sheridan shares her journey of bringing a product to life with true integrity, the resistance she’s faced, and why she refuses to cut corners—even when the wellness industry tells her to.

This episode is for any woman who’s ever questioned her supplements, felt overwhelmed by mixed health advice, or just wants to understand how to truly fuel her body with the wisdom of nature.

Key Takeaways

Why real food always wins—how nutrient-dense ingredients like liver and kelp naturally support pregnancy, postpartum, and hormone recovery better than synthetics.

What your supplements aren’t telling you—why isolating nutrients like folic acid or iron can backfire without their critical co-factors like vitamin A, copper, and magnesium.

How to read the fine print—what hidden fillers like maltodextrin and silicon dioxide are doing to your gut, and how to choose products with real integrity.

Why iron deficiency might not be about iron—how symptoms like fatigue and poor immunity may be rooted in deeper imbalances most blood tests don’t show.

The truth about vitamin A in pregnancy—why liver-based vitamin A isn’t the enemy, and what the research really says about birth defects and deficiency risks.

In this beautiful and deeply personal chat, I’m joined by my dear friend Melissa Ambrosini—best-selling author, mama of two, and founder of She Launch—as we unpack what it really takes to thrive as a modern woman in today’s world.

Melissa gets real about the juggle of motherhood, the emotional shift from one to two kids, and how she’s built a business that supports both her purpose and her family. We talk about redefining success, dropping the pressure to “do it all,” and getting fiercely clear on your values so you can live and lead with intention.

Mel’s commitment to living in alignment with her truth is contagious, and if you’ve ever felt torn between your ambition and your desire to be fully present with your family, this episode is for you. We also touch on why asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom—and how investing in yourself isn’t selfish, it’s essential.

Key Takeaways

Creating Space for Wealth – Understanding that financial abundance doesn’t conflict with purpose—it enhances your impact and well-being.

The Power of Support – Releasing the pressure to do it all and learning to ask for, receive, and embrace help as a form of self-respect.

Authenticity in Business – Why staying true to yourself is the most powerful strategy for building a brand that lasts.

Rethinking Self-Care – Letting go of rigid routines and embracing micro-moments of wellness that truly serve you in this season.

Connection Over Isolation – Reclaiming community and friendship as vital pieces of your wellness and motherhood experience.

The Dance of Balance – Accepting that life, business, and parenting are a dynamic rhythm, not a perfect juggle.

Embracing Seasons – Trusting the natural ebb and flow in motherhood, business, and relationships to find peace in each chapter.

Today’s episode is one straight from the heart. I’m sitting down with the gorgeous Tess Shanahan, and what she shares about her journey into motherhood... honestly, it just stopped me in my tracks. Tess opens up about what it really looked like for her after birth—not just the beautiful moments, but the raw, gritty, messy parts too.

She talks about bleeding, breastfeeding, breaking down... and somehow finding her way back to herself again—only different. Stronger. Softer.

We chat about why postpartum shakes you to your core, what it means to lose (and find) yourself after birth, and how sometimes the healing we think we’re chasing looks nothing like we expected.

If you’re in the thick of it—exhausted, overwhelmed, or feeling like you don’t even recognise the woman staring back at you—this one’s for you, beautiful. You are not alone.

Key Takeaways

The Shock of Early Motherhood – When everything you thought you knew about yourself falls apart after birth and why that’s part of the process.

The Reality of True Healing – Understanding that six weeks isn't enough—real healing takes time, patience, and a whole lot of grace.

Letting Go to Grow – How Tess had to surrender her old wellness routines to nourish her hormones, her milk, and her mind.

The Strength in Slowing Down – Why asking for help, resting more, and nourishing deeply can be the most powerful act of healing.

Becoming Someone New – That motherhood doesn’t give you your old self back—it makes space for someone even more beautiful.

If you’ve ever wondered why you're constantly tired, your libido’s MIA, or you’re struggling with fertility despite doing everything right—this episode is going to flip your perspective completely. I’m joined by Australia’s king of biohacking, Lucas Aoun, and we’re pulling back the curtain on the hormonal chaos no one’s talking about—especially when it comes to men’s role in fertility struggles. Yep, you read that right.

Lucas breaks down the real reasons modern women are experiencing burnout, brain fog, and hormonal dysfunction—and why male fertility is a bigger part of the picture than most doctors admit. We get into radical, science-backed strategies that help reset your hormones, boost libido, and support cycle health in ways that actually work. It’s honest, a little rebellious, and packed with unconventional tools that challenge the system while giving you real hope and direction.

Key Takeaways

The Role of Nootropics – Understanding how specific compounds like uridine and taurine support memory, focus, and emotional regulation in women.

The Supplement Truth – Recognising that natural doesn’t mean harmless, and why smart supplementation requires personalised advice and blood work.

The Hormone-Fog Link – Unpacking how neurotransmitters and hormonal changes contribute to brain fog, low mood, and mental exhaustion.

Fertility Isn’t Just Female – Learning how male fertility has declined and why it's critical to factor in sperm health when navigating miscarriages or TTC.

The Testosterone Crash – Discovering how modern life is tanking testosterone in both men and women—and how to restore it naturally.
