“I was living for this version of myself that didn’t even fit who I am.” Ryan Olexson

In this conversation, I sit down with Ryan Olexson - a counselling student, personal trainer and podcast host based in Texas - to explore what it really means to live in alignment with your inner truth.

We talk about navigating depression, shifting from corporate life, healing through movement, plant medicines and the choice to live from the heart.

Ryan brings a beautiful blend of science, intuition and lived experience, and shares the turning points that changed her life from the inside out.

We also explore:

• Emotion-based strength training and interoception

• Postpartum depression, shame and healing through plant medicine

• Childhood conditioning, perfectionism and identity loss

• Insights from Ayahuasca and how plant medicines expand self-awareness

• How somatic awareness rewires emotional regulation

• Living with purpose, family alignment and generational healing

• Reclaiming joy, imagination and inner voice

4 Keys to Staying Consistent in Heart-Centred and Creative Work

Consistency can feel elusive when you’re doing creative, purpose-led work. In this deeply personal solo episode, Ash explores four powerful keys to help you stay consistent - without burning out or losing your way.

Drawing from personal stories, psychological insight, and spiritual wisdom, you’ll learn how to reframe progress, reshape your inner dialogue, and honour your unique rhythm. Ash also shares a touching story about love, space, and rediscovering balance - along with how challenge and support work hand-in-hand.

Whether you’re a coach, artist, healer or heart-led entrepreneur, this episode will remind you of your strength, your mission and your very human nature.

🧭 What You’ll Learn

• Why process over outcome boosts dopamine and motivation
• How to transform your inner critic from handbrake to ally
• Why space is productive (and how to create it)
• The surprising benefits of embracing challenge
• The story of The Man Who Planted Trees - and how it applies to you
• How to keep going even when things feel hard or uncertain

🔑 The 4 Keys to Consistency

1. Progress – Focus on the process, not the results
2. Self-Perception – Learn to work with your inner critic
3. Space – Create room for insight, creativity, and renewal
4. Challenge – Let hard things shape you (with the right support)

Today’s guest is Tim Baker, a best-selling and award-winning surf writer whose life seemed like a dream come true.

With a beautiful family, a lifetime of exotic travel, and a home near the waves he loved, everything appeared picture-perfect.

However, on July 7, 2015, Tim's life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed out of the blue with stage 4, metastatic prostate cancer.

In an instant Tim’s world shifted, and he found himself in the throes of aggressive cancer treatments.

Tim’s authenticity and vulnerability about his post diagnosis experiences led us to discuss many topics including the impact of the treatments, masculinity, the use of psychedelics and the development of Tim’s writing for trauma workshops.
