You may of heard of couch to 5k. Well this is a story of mobility scooter to marathoner. My next guest samphire Haye’s shares a story of true healing and transformation. Sam talks to her healing journey from being a couch bound chronic pain sufferer on pain meds to a thriving, marathoning Natural Lifestyle Coach and how healing herself through a holistic approach combining natural movement, natural nutrition, mindfulness, nature immersion and a whole heap of self-love and compassion she now gets to help empower others on their healing journey.

What if I told you, you could take a magic pill and with that pill you could become a better version of yourself, improve your family life, your health, your wellbeing, and that you could wake early, alert and on your A game. And in those early hours of the morning, before work, you could write two books, study a masters, start a PHD and build a business that was 70% more successful than the last that you’d worked for. Well my next guest Andy Ramage has a few pearls of embodied wisdom to share on this…. But Andy didn't take a magic pill, he just discovered how magic life can be when you give up the booze. It’s 10 years since Andy went dry for January. He’s remained sober for 10 years since and through his books, classes, talks and campaigns has helped 1000’s of others tap into their human potential. This is a great chat. Andy is always on fire. It’s contagious and I believe a great proof of concept.

My next guest on the NatLifePod is the inspiring, insightful and imagination stirring Catherine Björkstén. Catherine is a beautiful multi faceted wise soul. She’s a spiritual guide, healer, shadow worker, shaman and holds the all important motherhood role to her two sons. We are fortunate to have Catherine in our NatLifeTribe community where she holds our women’s circle called womanhood. Catherine is devoted to supporting people retrieving their connection to Spirit and the Earth, and remembering the ways of animistic consciousness-beyond conditioning and life occurrences (aka traumas) that led us to forget our beauty, freedom and potential. We unpack a lot here….from Catherine’s spiritual beginnings to motherhood and spiritual embodiment. Catherine also speaks to shadow work, leadership, spiritual arrogance and spiritual superiority. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Here’s to beauty, freedom and potential.

Psychedelics have helped me and many others that I know through real dark times of addictions and depression. My own breakthrough with psychedelics provided the breaking down of my belief systems and reawakened an overwhelmingly empowering sense of my own ability to change. I’m super excited to be sharing this next episode of the NatLifePod with you because I’m behind the mic with Professor David Nutt. who is a neuropsychopharmacologist specialising in the research of drugs that affect the brain and conditions such as addiction, depression anxiety, and sleep. In this chat with David I unpack my own journey with psychedelics and the huge shifts that I have made through working with these powerful medicines David then helps to explain what was actually happening with my brain during and after these mind altering, healing and life changing experiences. It’s a really exciting time and certainly feels that we’re on the cusp of a major revolution in psychiatric medicine and neuroscience that could see psychedelics being used to treat addictions, depression and other mental health conditions. We discuss the potential therapeutic purposes of psychedelics for conditions including depression, PTSD, addiction, anxiety, and eating disorders. I hope you appreciate the direction of this conversation and the great work that David Nutt is doing here.

Well listeners, buckle up! This next episode of the NatLifePod is really quite something. To be honest, this intro really isn’t going to do this pod justice. But what I will say is that this is a real roller coaster of a story, and one that speaks to how hitting Rock Bottom can become the solid foundation of which to rebuild a life that you love. On this episode of the NatLifePod, I’m behind the mic with Rhys Thomas. Rhys, is an ex-international rugby player, who at just 29-years of age suffered a massive heart attack during training. To save his life, Rhys underwent a quadruple heart bypass and now lives life as a battery-powered half-man-half-machine. But this wasn’t rock bottom for Rhys. It’s the trauma that unravelled post open heart and post coma, that became that foundation. We unpack the trauma-led-chaotic lifestyle that finally led to Rhys’ close community stepping into help him through intervention, and the awakening that followed rehab. I firmly believe that we have everything inside ourselves to be the change and this conversation certainly serves as confirmation of that belief. I hope you find as much inspiration from this conversation as I did.

On this episode of the NatLifePod I’m behind the mic with Stevie Ward. Stevie Ward is a former professional rugby player who played in one of the most successful teams in super league history. We unpack Stevie’s journey from the curios kid, picking up a rugby ball first time, to then becoming the youngest grand final winner ever, and being named captain at just 26 years of age. We then go on to unpack the injuries, the mental health issues and the brain injury that then led to Stevie retiring from Rugby at just 27 years of age. Through his ups and downs, his wins and what was being perceived as losing in life, Stevie has birthed a belief that the truest form of resilience is to realise the potential of our true selves. Stevie is doing great work in the community through Mentality which he launched in 2016. Mentality is a platform for inspiring conversation around mental health for men and offers counselling and life-coaching services. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
