Welcome back to the Ikigai Transformations Podcast.

Introducing The Ikigai Method™—a framework designed to help people reconnect with who they are, trust themselves, and create a life that feels aligned.

In this episode, I share:

• Why I always felt like I didn't fit the traditional path.

• The questions nobody asked me after Year 12.

• What working in retail in a replaceable job taught me about fulfilment.

• Why I chose not to go to university.

• How discovering NLP changed the direction of my life.

• Starting my business at 19 and learning through experimentation.

• The lessons I learnt from leaving a big vision for a dream I thought I wanted and why leaving became one of my biggest acts of self-trust.

• Why I believe purpose evolves as we evolve.

• The concept of "soul downloads" and learning to follow life's nudges.

• How years of lived experience and client work led me to create The Ikigai Method™.

If there's one message I hope you take away from this episode, it's this:

You don't need to have your whole life figured out. You don't need the entire map. You simply need the courage to take the next aligned step.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you.

Send me a message on Instagram and tell me: What part of my story connected with you the most?

If you would love to dive deeper I have a free offerings or you can go all in & dive straight 1 on 1 or into self paced courses Reparent Yourself & Ikigai Method coming soon both with support & accountability of a like minded community.

Thank you for being here. I'm so grateful you're part of this journey and I can't wait to continue exploring purpose, healing, personal growth and aligned living together.

Thanks for being you,

Lets transform first by reconnecting to your inner child and becoming the adult you always needed growing up!

Before you dive into Reparent Yourself, I want to share a little more about why I created it and how much of this work has come from my own life.

In this episode, I get real about my journey of learning to understand my emotions, regulate myself, recognise my needs and build self-trust.

I share some of the patterns I had to grow through — seeking validation, struggling with my emotions, people-pleasing, emotional eating, overthinking, difficult relationships and learning to stop abandoning myself when life felt uncomfortable.

I also talk about some of the moments that really changed the way I understood myself, including learning to self-soothe, choosing a different path for my life, stepping outside my comfort zone and learning that self-trust isn't about always knowing the right answer — it's built through action.

This isn't a story about having everything figured out.

It's a reminder that you can learn the skills you weren't taught, you can understand yourself without judging yourself, and you can build a relationship with yourself that feels safe and supportive.

As you listen, notice:

What part of my story reminds me of me?

What patterns am I ready to understand differently?

And:

What would it look like to stop abandoning myself when things get hard?

This episode is here to remind you:

You don't have to become a completely different person. You can learn to come home to yourself.

Take what resonates!

All about Human Design! — How This Modality Can Change Your Life with Sam, Human Design Teacher for Mothers & Children.

What if you had a manual for your life — something that showed you who you truly are and how to thrive in alignment with your natural energy?

In this episode, I talk with Sam, a solo mama of two and a Human Design teacher who specialises in making Human Design practical — especially for motherhood and raising children in a way that honours who they already are 💛

We break down the basics of Human Design in a way that’s clear, empowering and totally beginner-friendly. Whether you're brand new to this system or looking to understand your chart on a deeper level, this conversation is a beautiful entry point.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

-What Human Design is

-The 5 energy types and how they show up in everyday life

-What’s the difference between Human Design for kids vs. adults? This is a big one so i'm going to explain here too!For adults, Human Design becomes a tool for reparenting — helping you unlearn the ways you were raised to forget who you truly are. This can show up as frustration, burnout, identity loss, and life feeling like a constant uphill battle. For kids, it’s about honouring a clean canvas — understanding their design early so we can raise them in alignment with their true nature. This supports them in trusting themselves and meeting their needs without having to fight to be seen or heard.

-How understanding your chart can lead to more ease, authenticity, and connection in your life

-Simple ways to start applying Human Design in everyday parenting, relationships, and self-discovery

New episode - getting in early for world meditation day this year! 21st of May 2025

🌈 Why Do an Inner Child Meditation?

To Remember Who You Were, Before the World Told You Who to Be.

As children, we were deeply connected to our soul's truth.We didn’t overthink our dreams — we just followed what lit us up.We played, created, explored, performed, nurtured, built, led, questioned, and imagined — all without fear of judgment or failure.

We knew the feeling of our purpose.Not the job title, not the "plan", but the essence.The energy.The natural way we showed up in the world.

But over time, we were shaped — by society, parents, teachers, media, peers.We learned what was "acceptable."We were told to be realistic.To tone it down.To make safe choices.To forget the magic.

So we forgot.

✨ What Inner Child Work Helps You Do:

• Reconnect with the authentic parts of yourself that may have been buried or silenced

• Hear the subconscious desires and emotional needs that still live within you

• Access your purpose through feeling, not logic — by remembering how it felt to be alive, seen, and in flow as a child

• Heal the core stories and blocks that were formed when you started to feel “too much” or “not enough”

• Strengthen self-compassion and trust by building a loving relationship with your younger self

• Receive intuitive guidance from the most unfiltered, free, and pure version of you

  Begins at 3.25

  Connect with me over on Insta @ikiagi_transformations... 🌸 I would love you to share your takeaway from the meditation!

  I also offer subconscious reprogramming healing sessions for letting go of past pain aswell as reiki & soul-purpose mentoring...

  If you’re ready to reconnect with the part of you that never forgot who you truly are — send her a message, or explore how we can work together.

  Let’s bring your magic back to life. ✨

  Sending you good vibes,

  Amelia from Ikigai Transformations

LOVE over FEAR activation ~ to help you take action on your greater purpose Choosing love over fear does not mean all fears are dissolved or magically disappear. It means we are opening ourselves up to our fears being healed and transcended into a higher vibrational match that we deserve. When we choose to act from love, we are allowing ourselves to unlock the wisdom of our heart. Shifting and transmuting our fears to love requires practice with continuous and consistent acts of courage and resilience.This wisdom begins when you bring your awareness inwards which is why I have created this activation for you to do that. Reminding you that you’re safe and your purpose is to be your true self and to express yourself openly. If you would like to dive deeper into this with a more personalised approach 1 on 1 hypnotherapy sessions are available - DM ME over on @ikigai_transformationsCommunity is also key with acting from love so if you’re desiring an open hearted conscious community find your tribe @4.heartfrequency , we currently have regular meetups at Port Willunga Beach in SA. As always we would love to hear from you with any feedback.

Enjoy,
