What if understanding your past isn't enough to create the change you're seeking? How might your life change if you opened yourself to limitless possibility?   For this episode, I welcome back Tracey Stevens for a thought-provoking conversation about moving beyond understanding our past and stepping into a world of possibility. A healing journey often involves looking inward — exploring the experiences, beliefs and emotional patterns that have shaped who we are. While this awareness can be incredibly powerful, what happens when we've done years of inner work, understand exactly where our patterns began, yet still find ourselves caught in the same reactions, thoughts and behaviours? Tracey shares the evolution of her own healing journey and introduces what she calls the two turns of healing. The first invites us to look back and understand what's shaped us. The second invites us to look forward, beyond the identity we've created from our past experiences, and begin consciously exploring what else might be possible. This conversation weaves together emotional healing, subconscious beliefs, spirituality and the extraordinary potential for personal transformation. Whether you've been on a healing journey for years or are just beginning to question the beliefs and stories you've been living by, this episode is an invitation to expand your perspective. Because your past may explain where you've been, but it doesn't have to define where you go next.   Ready to move beyond the patterns and beliefs that have been holding you back? Explore what's keeping you stuck and open yourself to new possibilities.

Are you aware that the way you breathe influences the shape of your face? Have you considered that your child’s breathing could be contributing to their ADHD symptoms? Orofacial Myofunctional Therapist and Functional Breathing Practitioner Melody Stewart joins me for a fascinating conversation exploring the connections between breathing, oral health, the nervous system and our emotional wellbeing. We explore how restrictions in the mouth can influence feeding, breathing, sleep, posture and tension throughout the body, not just in babies but well into adulthood. As always, I'm interested in looking beyond the physical symptoms and asking the deeper why. We explore the relationship between chronic stress, the nervous system and tension in the jaw and tongue, why releasing a tongue tie isn't always the whole solution, and the importance of supporting the body as an interconnected system rather than treating individual parts in isolation. One of the messages I hope you'll take away from this conversation is that our children develop in relationship with the environment around them and that includes us. The way we breathe, respond to stress and care for our own nervous systems can influence the environment in which our children grow and learn. Whether you're planning a pregnancy, raising children, struggling with mouth breathing or sleep, or simply curious about the remarkable interconnectedness of the human body, this episode will invite you to look at breathing through a whole new lens. Because as the saying goes, “The way you breathe is the way you live.”   Looking to release stress that could be affecting your breathing?

If everything is energy, what does that mean for our health? What if sound has the power to bring us back into balance and elevate our vibration? Intuitive healer and Tibetan singing bowl practitioner Chrystal Nathal joins me in this episode to explore the fascinating world of sound, frequency and vibration as it relates to healing. Chrystal shares how Tibetan singing bowls work with the body’s energetic system, what she senses as she moves through a healing session, and why sound can create such profound states of relaxation, release and clarity. We explore emotions as energy, what may happen when emotions remain unprocessed, and how creating space and stillness can allow us to hear what the noise of everyday life so often drowns out. We also talk about intuition, the insights and messages that can arise during sound healing, and Chrystal’s belief that beneath the layers of fear, anger, hurt and protection we accumulate through life, love is our natural state. This is a conversation about moving beyond the purely physical and becoming curious about the unseen—our emotional world, our energetic world, and the role that frequency and vibration play in bringing us back into connection with ourselves.   Interested in experiencing a Past Life Regression?

If you were given a diagnosis, where would you start? What if there’s more to healing than just treating what’s happening physically?   In this episode, I’m joined by functional health and clinical nutrition practitioner Kaytee Boyd for a conversation that goes beyond treating just the physical aspects of cancer to explore the bigger picture of what shapes our health.   We talk about how chronic stress can change our physical body, the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and disease, the influence of our emotional patterns and environment, and why looking at the whole person, rather than just the diagnosis, matters.   Kaytee shares where she would encourage someone to begin after receiving a diagnosis and discuss why creating a supportive team around you is so important, how complementary approaches can sit alongside conventional medical care and why it is never too late to do the inner work.   Emotional work isn't a promise of a cure, but it can offer meaningful support at every stage of the journey, including advanced illness, and support us face our fear of death differently.   While this conversation is centred around cancer, its message reaches much further. Whether you're navigating autoimmune disease, the hormonal changes of perimenopause, another chronic condition, or simply want to better understand and support your health, this episode is an invitation to zoom out, get curious and consider the whole picture.   Curious to explore beyond your diagnosis?

How much of your life is quietly shaped by fear — especially the fear of death? What if understanding death more deeply could help you live more fully?   In this deeply expansive conversation, I’m joined by Dawn Grace Kelly, New Zealand’s most experienced Past Life Regression Therapy Trainer, to explore death, dying, and the soul’s journey beyond this lifetime. Death is something many of us fear, avoid, or struggle to speak openly about. Yet it is the one experience guaranteed for every one of us. We open the conversation around what happens as we die, how our unresolved emotions, thoughts and feelings are carried with us and how our relationship with death shapes the way we live. We also dive deeply into the powerful healing modality of Past Life Regression. We explore why revisiting a past life is profoundly healing and why this work is so potent in reducing fears especially around death. This conversation isn’t dark or morbid — it’s deeply human, comforting, and ultimately about learning how to live with greater awareness, peace, and openness. If you’re curious or fearful about death, the soul, and what happens when we die, this conversation is for you.   Interested in experiencing a Past Life Regression?

What if menopause isn’t something to fix — but a process of unravelling to let go of what no longer serves you? In a culture so quick to medicate, what do we miss when we don’t pause to listen to what the body is asking? Perimenopause and menopause have become huge topics of conversation — but often in a very narrow way. So much of what we hear is fear-based and focused on managing symptoms… what to take, what to do, how to make it easier, how to avoid discomfort. But what if that’s only a small part of a much bigger picture — one that includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of this transition? In this episode, Leila and I explore menopause through a wider lens — one that sees the body not as something failing, but as something adapting, shifting, and responding to a lifetime of experiences, patterns, and pressures. We talk about how this stage of life is influenced by the life you’ve lived up to this point and why reflecting on the past, processing unresolved experiences, and letting go of what you’ve been carrying are such an important part of the process. This isn’t about dismissing medical support — far from it. It’s about complementing it and opening up the conversation to look beyond symptom management and beginning to ask — what is this phase of life asking of us?   Ready to explore and release unresolved experiences to support your perimenopause or menopause journey?

What if your pain isn’t something to fix — but a story waiting to be heard? If you’re living with chronic pain or recurring injuries, have you ever considered the emotional connection? In this episode, physiotherapist Patrycja Maryszczak and I challenge the way we’ve been taught to understand pain. We explore how tension, fascia, and posture aren’t just physical — they’re shaped by your nervous system, your emotions, and the life you’ve lived. We dive into why healing isn’t always about doing more physical rehab, but about understanding the relational, emotional, and deeply human aspects of what your body is holding. If you’ve ever felt stuck in recurring pain, tightness, or patterns that don’t quite make sense, this conversation will help you see your body in a whole new way.

Are you reacting to your partner… or to something much older?   What if relationship conflict isn't failure but the doorway to growth?     In this episode I’m joined by Kimberlee Sweeny, New Zealand’s first certified divorce and separation coach. Together we explore relationship conflict and the ways our past quietly shapes our present relationships.   We talk about how unprocessed wounds show up in adult partnerships, and why doing the inner work leads either to a healthier relationship… or the clarity and courage to leave.  This conversation is ultimately about responsibility, growth, and breaking cycles — so that what we carry doesn’t become what our children inherit.  If you’ve ever wondered whether to stay, leave, or how to navigate either path in a healthier way, this episode offers a grounded and compassionate perspective.    What you don’t process you may pass on.   Emotional Release Coaching supports you to navigate relationship conflict.

What if your body isn’t malfunctioning — but communicating?   How would your relationship with your symptoms change if you could understand them?    In this episode, I’m joined by Linda Garvin to explore the powerful topic of Emotional Anatomy - the language of the body and the way our soul speaks to us through physical sensations and symptoms to show us where we are out of alignment.  Linda’s journey into this work is a beautiful bridge between science and energetics. Together, we explore how to interpret the body’s messages; uncovering what different areas may be communicating, and why symptoms are invitations rather than obstacles.  We talk about the metaphors we use every day and how they reveal the deep connection between emotion and physiology.  This conversation is an invitation to shift from trying to fix or silence your symptoms… to listening and interpreting.  Because the body speaks long before the mind is ready to understand.    Curious to understand what your body might be communicating?  Download your FREE Body Pain Self-Inquiry Guide Here  So you can start to interpret what it’s telling you.   Curious to explore your symptoms?   Podcast Listeners get 10% off a 60min online Breakthrough Session with the link below.  Book Your Discounted Session Here     To connect with Linda Garvin and find out about her Authentic Alignment & Heart Led Healing -  Linda Garvin  @lindagarvin.ie Linda offers - Energetic Healing Sessions Authentic Alignment Sessions Community Workshops Practitioner training & support
