Meet Em, an incredible woman whose world began to shift in the most powerful way after receiving an ADHD diagnosis. What once felt like constant chaos and confusion finally started to make sense. The way she thought, felt, worked and related to those around her. Suddenly, pieces of her childhood, family dynamics and business life started falling into place.

In today’s episode, we have a deeply honest conversation about what it’s like to navigate the world with a neurodivergent mind, especially as a parent, a partner and a business owner. We talk about the pressure we put on ourselves, the stories we carry from childhood and what it means to take responsibility in our lives without sacrificing our wellbeing in the process.

This is about doing life in a way that actually works for you. Not what the world expects, not what the books say, but what feels true to your nervous system, your rhythms and your capacity. Em’s story is one of unravelling, relearning and reclaiming. I can’t wait for you to hear it.

Trauma doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers in sleepless nights, sudden mood swings or a nervous system that never really switches off.

In this episode, I open up about my own experience with trauma, of how it crept into my life in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. The anxiety, the depression, the moments of hypervigilance that made it hard to trust anyone or relax. The flashbacks, emotional outbursts and deep exhaustion that seemed to come from nowhere… it was my body and mind trying to keep me safe.

I talk honestly about what those signs looked like for me, the physical and emotional toll it took and what helped me start to cope, process and eventually, begin to heal.

For me, the allopathic route of medication didn’t feel aligned. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it just means we all deserve options. I chose a more holistic path, leaning into modalities like breathwork, meditation, hypnosis and other nervous system regulating tools. I didn’t just want to mask the pain, I wanted to understand it and work through it.

Healing isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s not about being 100% okay all the time. It’s a life-long journey of choosing to meet yourself with compassion every single day. Some days I’m thriving while others I’m just getting through. But I no longer choose to suffer in silence. I live a life I have created and a life I now love.

If you’ve experienced trauma (recent or past) I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not broken and you’re definitely not alone. Tune in now and let’s walk this healing path together, one breath, one moment, one choice at a time.

Meet Christina, a proud mum of two who made the brave move from Indonesia to Australia, chasing a new life filled with hope and opportunity. In the beginning, her marriage felt strong and full of dreams for the future. But after the birth of their children and the pressures of a struggling business, cracks began to show.

Cultural differences and being so far from home left Christina without a reference point for what was acceptable and without a village to lean on. What unfolded was a different kind of domestic violence, not physical, but emotional, controlling and deeply manipulative.

Today, Christina shares her powerful story of saying 'enough is enough', of losing everything in her marriage except her greatest treasures, her children. From that rock-bottom moment, she rebuilt with a new job, a new degree and a new purpose for life.

This is a story of resilience, courage, and what it truly means to start over on your own terms.
