The Range Estate's Emma Lane on nature-led design

In this “Sacred Six” episode of Beautiful Inside by Beauticate, I’m coming to you from the stunning Somatheeram Ayurvedic Resort in Kerala, India, to share six transformative experiences and takeaways from my time here. From ancient wellness practices to the slower, traditional pace of life, India has offered me a new perspective on mindfulness, balance, and beauty—inside and out. I experienced the power of Ayurveda, explored breathtaking temples, savoured incredible food, shopped for silks and jewellery, and embraced a sense of calm and introspection through yoga and mindfulness. These moments have reminded me of the importance of disconnecting, slowing down, and connecting with the sacred—both within ourselves and in our surroundings. Join me as I share simple yet profound ways to bring these practices into your own life, wherever you are.Thanks to our season sponsors, King Living, for helping us create spaces that nourish the soul.

In this transformative episode of our Sacred Spaces series, sponsored by King Living, we delve into the story of Gary Gorrow—renowned meditation teacher, Vedic master, and the visionary co-creator of Soma, a wellness retreat nestled in the Byron Bay hinterland. Soma is a sanctuary for healing and transformation, set across nine hectares of lush tropical countryside. Its design, a stunning collaboration between Gary, his brother and designer George Gorrow, and Balinese architect Rieky Sunur, seamlessly blends modern minimalism with Balinese influences. From the iconic geodesic yoga dome to the serene bamboo garden and lotus pond, Soma’s beauty serves as a perfect backdrop for mindfulness and connection. Gary’s own home, located on the Soma property, reflects the same ethos, with floor-to-ceiling windows that invite nature inside and create a deep sense of tranquility. It was in this space, with the rain falling outside and Gary’s cat Leopold purring nearby, that we sat down for this heartfelt conversation. Gary shares his journey from growing up on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, struggling with depression and burnout in his early career in film and TV production, to discovering meditation as a tool to heal his nervous system and change his mindset. He speaks about his “calling” to become a meditation teacher, working with A-list stars and CEOs, and the profound lessons he’s learned along the way. In this episode, Gary also provides practical insights into building a meaningful meditation practice and creating spaces that foster inner peace—lessons I’ve been applying in my own life with transformative results.

In today’s episode from our Sacred Spaces Series, sponsored by King Living, I sit down with the extraordinary Laura May Gibbs, the founder and creative visionary behind Nagnata, a Byron Bay-based sustainable fashion brand redefining the industry. We recorded this conversation in Nagnata’s flagship store in Byron Bay, a space that feels more like an art gallery than a retail shop. Designed in collaboration with the Pattern Studio, the store is a dreamscape of hand-carved timber pillars and curvaceous forms inspired by global architecture. It’s serene and soothing by day, but with LED lighting, it can transform into a vibrant and energetic space. In this intimate chat, Laura May opens up about her rebellious youth, her journey into yoga and bodywork, and the personal healing that shaped her career. We explore how she balances creativity with sustainability, the emotional challenges of running a purpose-led business, and the lessons she’s learned from staying true to her values in an ever-changing industry. Get ready for a conversation filled with inspiration, honesty, and a glimpse into the world of one of fashion’s most authentic innovators.

For our first episode of our Season Three Sacred Spaces Series, sponsored by King Living, we interviewed the brilliant Emma Lane, the creative force behind The Range Estates and the farm in Byron Bay. Emma graciously invited me into her exquisite home, Copperstone, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Bangalow, New South Wales. Copperstone is more than just a home; it’s a sanctuary that celebrates slowness, intentional design, and harmony with nature. Set on 48 acres of pristine landscape, the estate is a seamless blend of European heritage with an authentically Australian touch. Our conversation took place in Emma's beautifully curated bedroom, surrounded by her treasured objects and her loyal dog, Ranger, relaxing between us. In this episode, Emma shares her inspiring journey from her boarding school days to a successful career in advertising, and how she came to create her extraordinary spaces rooted in sustainability and mindful living.

In our regular “Sacred Six” episode of Beautiful Inside by Beauticate I’m diving into 6 Ways We Can All Live Longer. Broadcasting from the beautiful Regent Phu Quoc in Vietnam, it was the perfect setting to ponder some transformative health insights. I recently underwent a comprehensive Longevity Assessment at the Longevity Medicine Institute in Double Bay with GP and longevity guru Dr Adam Brown, where I gained life-changing knowledge on how fitness, diet, and mindset contribute to a longer, healthier life. I also overcame some limiting self beliefs I have about myself that I’ve had since childhood. The six tips discussed in this video are rooted in the latest longevity research and feature practical, accessible steps anyone can take. Starting with exercise, Dr. Adam advises diversifying fitness routines across strength, cardio, and endurance to improve long-term health and combat preventable diseases. Nutritional shifts include protein-focused diets, increased calcium intake, and vitamin D supplements, all aimed at boosting muscle mass and bone density. These small, evidence-based lifestyle changes create a powerful foundation for lasting health. Join the conversation, find out how these tips may work for you, and learn how to turn health insights into everyday habits!

Welcome back to Beautiful Inside. Today, I’m chatting with the fabulous Jodie Matthews, founder of ashaya. Now, this episode is extra special as it ties into Menopause Awareness Month, which is something I’ve personally been navigating as I enter perimenopause. I’ve had physical symptoms—from anxiety to gastrointestinal issues—that I didn’t even realise were related to peri! I’ve known Jodie for years from when she was heading up MAC Cosmetics and she has always been someone who leads with passion and purpose. I caught up with her recently and was really inspired by how she has approached this new phase in her life and I wanted to get a different perspective for dealing with peri and menopause. In this episode, she opens up about the struggles she faced, and how those personal experiences drove her to start ashaya—a brand that’s all about supporting women through every stage of life. From the mental health side to physical transformations, we dive deep into how we can all navigate these changes with knowledge, compassion, and a bit of humour. And because we love to spoil our Beautiful Inside community, we're partnering with ashaya for a fabulous giveaway. Stay tuned for details on our Instagram account. Whether you're in the midst of your own perimenopause journey, or just want to be better prepared for what’s ahead, this conversation is a must-watch.

Welcome back to Beautiful Inside, and today I’m so excited to have the incredible Leah Simmons with us. She’s a powerhouse in the wellness world and the brains behind KAAIA – a revolutionary workout that blends breathwork, bodywork, meditation, and mindset. But there’s so much more to Leah than just fitness. Before becoming a wellness pioneer, Leah was living it up in London’s vibrant music scene, working for a record label and soaking up every experience. Her journey hasn’t always been smooth, though. In our chat, she opens up about her struggles with authenticity, how social media once became her crutch, and the bold steps she took to turn it all around. We dive deep into her story of resilience, and self-discovery, and how she now uses challenges as fuel for growth. I first got a taste of Leah's magic during lockdown when she hosted free KAAIA classes on Zoom. Her infectious energy and those feel-good 80s and 90s dance vibes were just the lift we all needed! This episode is packed with inspiration for anyone looking to live more authentically and embrace holistic well-being. So, if you’re ready, let’s dive in!
