If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like you've lost yourself in caring for others, this conversation will speak straight to your heart. In this episode, we explore: Hollie's journey through mould illness and the surprising symptoms she had The connection between people-pleasing and losing touch with your body's signals How becoming a mum shifted her identity, priorities and intuition What she's learned about putting herself first without guilt, especially in motherhood Where to find Hollie: Website: hollieazzopardi.com Instagram: @hollie_azzopardi Podcast: Soul Talk on Apple Podcasts Join the FREE Calm in 5 Days Challenge Doors are open one more time for Georgie's Calm in 5 Days Challenge — a free online experience starting November 24th.

In this week's episode, I sit down once again with the wonderful Madelyn Moon. You may know her for her hilarious Instagram skits about relationships — but behind the humour is a woman who does deeply embodied emotional work, helping others turn their inner world into art and truth. Madelyn shares how her unique approach to healing began, including childhood experiences that once left her terrified of being seen. If you've ever struggled with stage fright, judgment, or expressing your authentic self, her story will resonate. We also dive into a refreshing conversation about the relationship coaching world — specifically the pressure to be perfect, constantly "doing the work," and how to return to a more grounded, human approach to love. It's a rich, warm, and honest chat. I hope you love this one. In this episode, we explore: ✅ How Madelyn transformed emotional suppression into art ✅ Overcoming stage fright and "forced performance" trauma ✅ What it means to become "that woman" who is magnetic, visible, and free ✅ The shadow side of the relationship coaching industry ✅ How to see your "inner weirdo" not as flaws but as something beautiful Where to find Madelyn Moon: Website: https://maddymoon.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madelynmoon/ Her book The Artist of Love: https://amzn.to/4oAA9hk Her podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1QRkDbXYd5SXZm3b95iT56?si=9bd1d08c88fc4004 ----- Need more anxiety support?

In this episode, Georgie offers a rare, grounded perspective on the future of AI - one that invites curiosity and calm instead of fear. She explores how the rise of technology might actually bring humanity closer to what truly matters: being rather than doing, creativity over productivity, and meaning beyond the metrics. You'll hear Georgie's reflections on why AI doesn't have to be the end of purpose as we know it, how entirely new opportunities will emerge, and how we can consciously shape the kind of world we want to live in. If you've ever worried about what the future holds, this conversation will help you reconnect with hope, purpose, and possibility.     💫 Ready for a deeper transformation?

In this week's episode, I sit down with the radiant Zoe Bosco, a kinesiologist who helps women reconnect with their body's wisdom and unlock their full potential.

She also opens up about breaking free from an abusive relationship and the deep transformation that followed — including a newfound sense of freedom she recently experienced at Burning Man. This episode will leave you feeling grounded, hopeful, and inspired to trust the intelligence of your own body and spirit.

In this episode, Georgie shares the three pieces of advice she wishes she could give her past self - the one running on perfectionism, pressure, and the constant need to achieve. If you've ever found it hard to slow down, felt guilty for resting, or tied your worth to how much you get done, this conversation will help you reconnect with what truly matters. Georgie unpacks what high-functioning anxiety really feels like beneath the surface, the surprising truth about why "working harder" doesn't fix it, and how to begin finding peace in simply being—without losing your edge.   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 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?
