METAMORPHOSISS2-E11: I stopped using Chat GPT and I was shocked at what I noticed: a journey back to life off a laptop and surprising hidden joys.Let me say straight off the bat - Chat GPT is obviously an extraordinary tool. And this episode is just purely my own observations of my own self and my own life, so take it all with a grain of salt and an opportunity to reflect on something almost completely habitual nowadays!But in a world of endless ‘optimisation’ and homogenisation, it was a surprise and a pleasure to re-discover the joy of brainstorming within my own brain, making messy lists on random scraps of paper, letting things percolate in my mind over time and gently contemplating thin...
2025-08-0533 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E10: I thought I was bad at meditation - here’s what I wish I knew years ago!It’s an uncomfortable sensation, the feeling of being ‘bad’ at something. And I especially have never loved the feeling of being ‘bad’ at meditation! It has been something I’ve been endlessly curious about, ever since reading The Power of Now in my early teenage years. I became obsessed with the idea of the present moment, and finding what seemed like it should be a feeling of emptiness or a vacuum inside of my mind, an absence of thoughts, freedom from feelings, a sense of nothingness.But it never really ‘worked’, it never really clicked and it e...
2025-07-2941 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E9: With JULIEN on living a truly free life, taking risks and living to the fullest.One of the most delightful parts of travelling so much is that I get to meet a lot of new people! And some of those new people I meet have a very inspiring, illuminating approach to living life.Julien is one of those people! We met in Auroville where my brother and I were staying in the same guest house for 5 weeks or so, and the three of us got to share lots of coffees, dinners, meditations in the Matrimandir and beautiful conversations over that time. Some people might see meditating for 6 hours each day...
2025-07-1454 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E8: Here's why you don't get what you asked for... (Or do you!)Have you ever picked a theme ‘word for the year’ around the new year time? Maybe something fun like ‘growth’ or ‘transformation’ - and then been dismayed to find that you can barely catch your breath between challenge after challenge?! This episode dives into why this happens, and how to navigate it with more playfulness and with a healthy sense of humour ;)Because we DO always get what we ask for! It just sometimes looks nothing like what we thought it would (and sometimes thank goodness for that, in hindsight!) And sometimes it feels like t...
2025-07-1126 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E7: Learning to trust Life - my journey from fear to delight.I was not expecting to get so emotional in this episode! But this is one that is very near to my heart, very real and veryIt’s an awful, lonely feeling to feel unsupported by Life. To feel separate, to feel isolated, to feel like we have to figure everything out on our own, to feel suspicious when too many things are going ‘right’, to feel personally attacked when things are going ‘wrong’. To have to apply so much force to try and get what we want, and to feel so confused and hurt when nothing ever works...
2025-07-0830 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E6: With KONRAD talking satori, self-mastery and having 'faith'.This is a delightful conversation with Konrad, a good friend of mine that I met in my first few weeks in Hiriketiya at the start of 2023! We ended up getting to reconnect 3 seasons in a row in Hiri, and we had a surprising amount in common - both raised in strict Christian religions, both with an endless curiosity for philosophy and spirituality as a way to make sense of the world coming out of a religious paradigm, both with a big fascination for optimising our health and creating freedom in our lives, for reading, for experimenting with...
2025-07-061h 03METAMORPHOSISS2-E5: Doing the plot twist before the plot twist does you!It was truly a ‘dream life’! A gorgeous little surf town in southern Sri Lanka, sunny and warm almost the entire year round, living 15 seconds walk from one of the prettiest beaches I’ve ever seen, with a cafe serving delicious coffee looking straight out to the ocean, a community of lovely people and a daily routine that I had settled into like a well-worn glove.It was a life so lush that if you’d told me in 2021 that that’s how I’d be living, I would maybe have cried. Or fainted. Or both. I definitely w...
2025-07-0333 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E4: Why do compliments make us cry? A huge insight from my yoga teacher training.We head into our first Saturday morning class after a busy, intense first week! We’re all expecting a relaxed partner yoga class, so what could possibly make us all leave crying?! There are around 20 gorgeous women as part of the Ashtanga-Vinyasa YTT I joined in May (I did my training at Sampoorna in Agonda (Goa, India) and enjoyed it SO MUCH), and it was such a precious experience to spend a month soaking in this beautiful, feminine energy.There were a few key moments during the training where I really realised how starved we ar...
2025-06-3026 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E3: With NICKY talking yoga, rollerskating and remembering that as adults we are allowed to have FUN!!As adults, life sometimes gets very serious and heavy - we have so many responsibilities and ‘important things to do’. And somehow we forget that life can also be so fun and free and joyful! So how on earth do we add these things back to our lives again?! Nicky is one of my gorgeous friends from Hiriketiya, she’s a yoga teacher, rollerskating and surfing extraordinaire always with a sparkle in her eyes and a big smile on her face! But as she shares this episode, life didn’t always feel so free and so fun...
2025-06-281h 00METAMORPHOSISS2-E2: The life-shattering discovery of walking slowly.“Why would I ever go slow when I can go fast?!” That has been my mantra for my entire life. I grew up as an insatiably curious child with a lot of energy, throughout my 20’s every spare minute that I wasn’t studying or working was jam packed to the brim with socialising, rock climbing, salsa dancing, running and travelling.I’m sure this probably sounds awfully familiar to a lot of you. And the bizarre thing (in hindsight) is that this was such an enormous part of my identity! I really prided myself on how muc...
2025-06-2533 minMETAMORPHOSISS2-E1: What is Radical Radiance?!Hello my love!I’ve had a ridiculous amount of resistance to recording this episode. There was so much excitement around changing the name of the podcast, and then I headed into my Ashtanga Vinyasa YTT in Goa and wanted to give my full attention to that, so I took a break from social media for a while and then it ended up feeling so good that it’s been surprisingly challenging to get back into it.But if I’m truly honest with myself (and with you!), it’s because I’m secretly terrified of what th...

And of course, the SOLUTION!We're in a very interesting time at the moment astrologically (but no matter when you're listening to this, it is ALWAYS RELEVANT!).The reason that we aren't getting what we want in life is because of ONE THING: we haven't taken the time or effort to get CRYSTAL CLEAR on what it is that we actually want to create!!!

And then we're so annoyed with ourselves afterwards, because maybe this was something that we had been saying we wanted for a long time, and when it appeared we managed to talk ourselves out of it, or we dropped the ball, we didn't reply in time, we missed the opportunity...
And then we make it mean something personal about us and be so mean to ourselves!

This isn’t about being forceful and having expectations that we’re constantly disappointed by, it is about creating our own VORTEX of dynamic, playful energy that has it's own powerful magnetism and that allows us to experience the world as an incredibly beautiful place full of magic and opportunities.
A huge part of cheerful optimism (as alwa...
2024-11-2931 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.22 - How to harness your inner strength as POWER instead of FORCE - Remove the struggle!Make a coffee and have a little chat with me while I explore some concepts of my Human Design! This is something I'm navigating in real-time, learning to channel my inner strength as a form of POWER instead of a form of FORCE.
Force is a tricky energy to work with, it's often very attached to specific outcomes, inflexible, contracted and sometimes destructive.
What if we could use it as a more dynamic, flexible source of POWER instead, as a creative vortex of energy that is creative, playful, unattached and flowing freely through life?
2024-11-2525 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.21 - You HAVE the body of an ELITE ATHLETE - Hear me out!We all have the same foundational physiology as elite athletes, the same muscle fibers, metabolic systems, and neural pathways that work the same way for everyone!
So why do elite athlete bodies perform to such a high standard? How do they ask so much of their bodies and KNOW that their body (and mind!) is going to deliver?
The human body is ENORMOUSLY adaptable, with huge capacity to grow stronger, faster, and more resilient with consistent effort. And when we cultivate a strong relationship with our body, treating it as ally and...
2024-11-2235 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.20 - RADICAL OPENNESS TO LIFE - Why becoming your own best friend is the VITAL KEY.To experience the big, juicy MAGIC of life, we have to be radically open to ALL OF LIFE.
We have to be in the game of life - getting messy, trying and failing, loving, learning, growing! We can’t just be observing from the sidelines trying to plan the plan and analyse what the best course of action might be without ever actually taking any action.
We have to get some skin in the game!
And to properly get skin in the game, we have to feel safe within our ow...
2024-11-1833 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.19 - 'LETTING GO' - How to ALCHEMISE the things we want to let go of and actually release themIt’s the full moon in Taurus (and final supermoon of the year!) today and there’s a real vibe of ‘letting go’ with these super moons.
So often we conceptualise ‘letting go’ as a mental task that we have to complete somehow, and end up going around and around in circles with it endlessly - and that’s because we’ve really got a lot of stuck, stagnant emotional energy trapped inside of us that needs ALCHEMISING.
It is the very nature of being human that challenges will happen, we will i...
2024-11-1529 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.18 - The 2 keys to get rid of background “LIFE ANXIETY”Life is already unpredictable enough without extra background anxiety keeping us at a higher baseline level of stress.
There are two specific things that create a HUGE amount of background noise and stress:
BEING INDECISIVE
NOT DOING WHAT YOU SAY YOU’RE GOING TO DO
This podcast dives into how to get rid of this background anxiety of life, explores my own journey with the most crippling decision paralysis of my life and how to build true confidence.
You can’t mess it up! There is only stagnance OR forward momentum in one direc...
2024-11-1130 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.17 - What to focus on when you can’t burn everything down - Elite Vitality in office lifeOne of you gorgeous listeners asked me this the other day - “what should I do if I can’t just burn everything down and move to a tropical island? I’m going to be working in my 9-5 for the next few years and I’m okay with it, but I also want to make my life better and have more energy”
This is a great question, so this podcast episode dives into EXACTLY what I did when I was in this exact same situation in Melbourne during covid, working in a office indefinitel...
2024-11-0828 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.16 - HOW to actually ‘listen to your body’ - and what major trap to avoid!This episode was prompted by a conversation with my dad - about how to actually LISTEN to what our body is trying to tell us (as it is always in communication with us!)
Am we truly fatigued and do we need rest? Or do we actually have energy and just need to do something to upregulate our nervous system?
When is it actually our mind talking, instead of our body? And how do we differentiate?
And how do we discover what ou...
2024-11-0633 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.15 - Does your health feel like a heavy burden? Shifting from lack to ABUNDANCE.We make our ‘health’ such a rigid thing, such a serious, forceful, heavy thing! It was never meant to be such a burden.
The whole point of ‘health’ is so that we can experience absolutely RAMPANT enjoyment of our life.
So that we can feel full to overflowing with enthusiasm and openness and love!
Health is our true essence, our true nature!
It’s not really something ‘extra’ we have to do, it’s a matter of returning to our natural state of being, of eat...
2024-11-0433 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.14 - The neuroscience of TAROT - The best part of my morning routine!I was having a fun conversation with one of you gorgeous listeners the other day about the fun ‘woo woo’ things that are part of our routines and how it’s always interesting when people are sceptical of them - which sent me off on a little riff about the ‘science of tarot’ seeing as it is part of my daily routine that I LOVE!
It was too fun of a topic to not do a full podcast episode about, so here we are!! This episode dives into how using the tarot changes our brain and i...
2024-10-3029 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.13 - Living in a PASSIONLESS world - Escaping the matrix of the mundaneHow are we supposed to be passionate, adventurous and madly in love with our lives and ourselves in a world that seems completely devoid of passion?
We’re living in a time where it is completely normal to be numbing out on cheap dopamine almost constantly, which not only numbs and soothes the negative emotions of life but also smothers the full spectrum of feeling (INCLUDING any kind of passion, because passion is just intense emotions!)
We also live in a time where most people barely have enough energy to...
2024-10-2832 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.12 - THE ONE THING WE ARE *ALL* DEEPLY CRAVING - Surprising lessons from being a coachA friend asked me the other day about my journey to becoming a coach, specifically what the most surprising thing is about being a coach, which is an excellent question!
So I told her a little bit about my journey from studying an undergrad in health science, to doing a masters of clinical exercise physiology, to working in hospitality abroad, teaching English in Spain, starting my own art business, studying interior decoration and then ultimately tying it all together into my current high performance coaching work.
And interestingly, the underlying passion and p...
2024-10-2629 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.11 - Unlocking true ABUNDANCE - why avoiding overwhelm is keeping you stuck, not safe.This is an incredibly juicy episode, diving deep into the link between abundance and overwhelm (two seemingly unrelated topics!) and exploring what it means to live in a chaotic, messy, unpredictable life.
Full of practical tips about how to ACTUALLY go out into the chaos of life feeling safe and at home within our own selves so that we can unlock the true magic of abundance and overwhelm with open arms and an open heart - because when we block one of them, we block all of them.
Go a...
2024-10-2432 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.10 - REINVENTING - The 3 things to focus on when you know you want to change but you don’t know WHAT.Sometimes we know that we're ready for our next level! We've done the brave thing of admitting that we've outgrown our current reality, we're ready to reinvent our life, but we're just not quite sure WHAT we're reinventing into.
We haven't got all of the answers of what we want to create next, what our next evolution will look like.
Instead of sitting down and trying to force the answers to come, focus on these 3 things to allow your reinvention to unfold naturally!
2024-10-2135 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.09 - Your health journey never ends - here’s how to transform your frustration into celebration!The 'work' is never 'DONE'.
Your health and fitness journey is never 'complete'

This episode we dive into why your health is like a fantasy novel, your 90 year old self and whether we need to zoom in or out on this concept.
2024-10-1832 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.08 - Your MAGNETISM is physical - unleash it to create more luck in your life!It is an incredible thing when you are truly MAGNETIC - when you radiate warmth and openness, creating an invisible pull that makes others feel seen, heard, and understood when they’re around you.

2024-10-1634 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.07 - 5 Surprising Habits That Were Sabotaging My Elite Vitality (And You're Probably Doing Them Too)Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and sometimes it's sneaky little things that we're doing day to day that are having a BIG impact on our vitality and how good we feel!

Some of them might feel controversial or uncomfortable, so this is just an invitation to stay open and EXPERIMENT!

2024-10-1444 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.06 - Walking is NOT exercise. Hear me out and shift your paradigm!I know that this sounds controversial - SO LET'S GOOOO!
You know I love a spicy chat and a paradigm shift, and you will leave this episode with a WHOLE NEW WAY of thinking about the humble old 'walking' and the arbitrary 10k steps.
When we change our perception of things, it becomes VERY easy to change our actions, and ultimately that's what we're all aiming for right?!
2024-10-1133 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.05 - Our current epidemic of ENTITLEMENT and why "self-love" is not the answerWe're currently in a RAMPAGING epidemic of entitlement when it comes to our health and wellbeing, and what is "normal" by our society's standards is so, so far from optimal.
So then, what do we do? How is the "self-love" movement holding us back, and what should we focus on instead? And why does it even matter in the first place?
Let's dive in to this spicy chat!
2024-10-0935 minMETAMORPHOSISEP.04 - "What if I don't really care about my brain?" - The missing link to feeling your best!This episode dives deeper into some of the concepts from last episode (where I talked about befriending your body and your brain), off the back of a conversation with one of my gorgeous listeners who said "What if I don't even think about my brain? What if I don't really care about my brain? How can I still make big changes to how I treat my body if I don't feel connected to my brain?!". These are all such good questions, and I unpack them all here so that you can start to feel grateful for your brain, your...

I was here in March to learn the basics of this 3,000 year old martial art in the red clay fighting pits at Kalarigram and I've been doing the online classes ever since, and it felt like time to come back and do some more advanced training in person.
