In this week’s episode, I introduce you to the fabulous Amanda Kolbye — a powerhouse business coach who built a seven-figure brand, lived the ultimate laptop lifestyle, and travelled the world… until it all stopped working. Amanda hit a point of deep burnout — though burnout barely scratches the surface. What followed was a full dismantling of everything she’d built. She took a sabbatical, stepped away from her business, and entered what she calls “the messy middle” — that disorienting space between who you were and who you’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt lost after success, struggled to pivot after outgrowing your old life, or felt the anxiety that comes with not knowing what’s next — this episode will hit home in the best way. Amanda shares with such openness, honesty, and wisdom, and I know you’ll feel so seen in her story. We cover: ✅ Amanda’s journey from building a 7-figure business to everything breaking down ✅ What it feels like to sit in the messy middle — not fully in the old, not yet in the new ✅ When taking a break to heal becomes your full-time job ✅ Following a vision you can’t ignore, even if it looks “crazy” from the outside Where to find Amanda Kolbye: 📲 Instagram & TikTok: @amandakolbye 🌐 Website: amandakolbye.com 🌿 Join the FREE Calm in 5 Days Challenge Doors are now open for Georgie’s Calm in 5 Days Challenge — a free online experience starting October 27th.

In this episode, Georgie shares the behind-the-scenes story of how 2025 became a year of radical change, unexpected growth, and a complete reinvention of her business and identity. She opens up about her early days operating from a hyper-masculine, workaholic drive, softening into feminine flow during her Bali and Byron Bay chapters, and the recent stretch that demanded stronger systems, discipline and leadership to hold her next-level vision. This is a raw and honest reflection on what it really takes to evolve - when calm and slow are no longer the edge, and balance becomes the mastery. Georgie explores the dance between masculine structure and feminine flow and how she’s now building from a place of both softness and power. Whether you're navigating your own season of change, craving deeper alignment, or recalibrating your pace - this conversation will speak to the part of you that knows you're meant for more, but wants to build it without burning out.

In this inspiring episode, I speak with bestselling author Amber Rae about her new book Lovable. While it may sound like a story about forbidden love, the deeper message is about what it really means to choose yourself - even when society, family, or the people closest to you may not understand or support your choice. So many women I work with struggle under the weight of shoulds - the expectations of being the “good girl,” following the rules, and living a life that looks perfect on the outside but feels deeply misaligned on the inside. When we abandon ourselves this way, anxiety often becomes the voice we’ve silenced. This conversation with Amber is a reminder that reclaiming your authentic self is worth every step, no matter how hard or scary it may feel. We cover: ✅ Amber’s story of leaving a sexless marriage that looked “perfect” on the outside ✅ How Amber broke free from the “good girl” role and chose her true self ✅ How anxiety and fear show up during big life transitions – and how Amber navigated them ✅ The power of sharing vulnerably, facing backlash, and ultimately living without regrets Where to find Amber Rae: 📖 Lovable – available in US bookstores and on Amazon (ships worldwide) 📲 Instagram: @heyamberrae 🌐 Website: amberrae.com ✨ Try Anxiety Masters FREE for 7 days: Click here 💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie opens up about her own experience with jealousy earlier this year - an emotion so many of us feel but rarely talk about honestly. She shares how comparison and envy showed up in her life, what it revealed about her deeper desires, and the surprising insights she gained by leaning in instead of pushing it away. If you’ve ever scrolled through social media and felt that pang of “why not me?” or found yourself comparing your path to someone else’s, this conversation will help you see jealousy in a whole new light. Rather than letting it fuel anxiety or self-criticism, Georgie shows you how to use it as a guidepost, pointing you back to your own desires, alignment, and authentic self.   Need more anxiety support?   Apply for a FREE 30-Minute Anxiety Relief Call - https://anxiety-reset.mykajabi.com/apply-for-call   Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this heartfelt episode, I speak with the delightful Alex Croxford, who helps women release guilt and shame so they can open themselves up to the deep love they crave at a soul level. Alex shares her powerful story of being the one who cheated - a perspective that carries so much stigma and silence, yet also offers profound lessons in healing, forgiveness, and growth. Whether you’ve been the one who cheated, the one who was cheated on, or you simply know the heavy weight of guilt and shame in your own life, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Shame and guilt are feelings every human carries at some level, and when we leave them hidden or unacknowledged, they often fester and transform into anxiety. This episode invites you to explore those deeper layers safely and compassionately - because looking at them is the key to true healing. We cover: ✅ Why so many women carry guilt and shame ✅ How self-abandonment shows up in relationships (and what it really means when we betray ourselves) ✅ The surprising connection between perfectionism, people-pleasing, and anxiety in love ✅ How to release the weight of guilt and feeling like a bad person This episode is a safe space, free from judgement, and full of laughter, depth, and healing. My hope is that it creates ripples of release and resonance for everyone who listens.

In this episode, Georgie dives into the roots of self-doubt - where it really comes from and why so many women with high-functioning anxiety find themselves second-guessing everything. She breaks down the subconscious patterns and early conditioning that fuel that constant inner critic, then shares the exact steps you can take to shift out of playing small and start going after the career you want, the health you desire, and the love you truly deserve. This episode is your reminder that self-doubt isn’t the truth about you - it’s just a story your mind has learned to tell. And you can rewrite it.   Need more anxiety support?   Apply for a FREE 30-Minute Anxiety Relief Call - https://anxiety-reset.mykajabi.com/apply-for-call   Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this episode, Georgie explores the common belief that changing your outer environment -whether it’s leaving a relationship, moving cities, quitting your job, going travelling or chasing more sunshine - will finally fix anxiety. While these shifts can sometimes bring temporary relief, anxiety often has a way of following you wherever you go. Georgie shares why lasting freedom comes from doing the inner work - rewiring the subconscious, regulating the nervous system, and shifting deep beliefs - so you can feel calm and grounded no matter what’s happening around you.
