TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2023/04/24

For many women in their midlife, any attention given to sex and pleasure is for someone else's benefit. Only when everyone else is satisfied, will a woman consider her sexual needs, desires and give herself any time or opportunity to receive pleasure. It's time this changed! And women felt TURNED ON! My guest, Mangala Holland, is on a mission to help women and pussy-owners become empowered through loving themselves fiercely, celebrating their sexuality, and accessing way more pleasure than

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2023/04/23

When we think of TURNED ON, our mind automatically thinks of sexual turn on. That's only one part of what this podcast is all about. TURNED ON is what you feel like when your mind, body and soul are aligned with your values. When you feel energised, alive and free to express yourself. When the light inside of you is switched on. In this episode I share why living a TURNED ON life is important, what's available when you live a TURNED ON live, and what you can expect when you listen to this

Shine Love & Light on Our Breath & Breathing

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/10/05

It keeps us alive. When we struggle with it, it's stressful and all consuming. Yet, for many of us, it's unconscious and barely a consideration in our health and wellbeing. In this episode, I explore this lost art and the value in prioritising our breath and breathing with Emma Abbott, a dear friend, Vedic Meditation teacher and founder of Metta with Emma. Emma guides us through some simple and profound breathing exercises, shares incredible stories about the power of breath, and reminds us that

Shine Love & Light on Divorce

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/09/22

The institution of marriage is not an easy one to leave. For so long it was forbidden, and then, when religion and the law allowed divorce, the possibility of a positive ending for all parties was barely a consideration. It’s one of the reasons we don’t talk about relationships breaking down, ending, or finishing in divorce! The shame, pain, and cost associated with a ‘failed’ relationship, has, and continues, to keep people quiet, in unhappy marriages and feeling like there’s only one way out. In

Shine Love & Light on Our Relationship with Alcohol

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/09/07

In our culture, it's 'normal' for adults to socialise and celebrate with alcohol. In fact, if you don't, you must be pregnant, taking antibiotics, have a work presentation the next day, or be an absolute party pooper. Unhealthy drinking habits are rarely discussed, hangovers are put up with, and awful aspects like aggression, blacking out or embarrassing behaviour are glossed over. A gorgeous friend, Kathryn Elliott, who is also a Radiant Woman, Breast Cancer Survivor (I spoke to her in the episode

Shine Love & Light on Ageing

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/04/11

Kids love celebrating their age but once we become adults and enter mid age, people start to avoid sharing their age. They do all they can to reverse it and hide it. In fact, for a long time, if women didn't hide their age, they would be hidden. Reversing the aging process was a matter surviving and being noticed by our society. In this podcast I chat with Jacqueline (Jack) Perez, founder of Kuel Life, a platform that champions change, and redefines modern midlife for women through curated content

Shine Love & Light on Invisible Systems & inequality

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/04/02

We're surrounded by established systems with inherent biases, dogma and unequal values that limit our thinking and stifle our happiness and freedom. Without an awareness of their existence, we're oblivious to their power and helpless to do anything about them. In this episode, I talk with my beautiful friend, Anna George, author of the novel, 'Tipping', about how her story set around a school sexting scandal at a Melbourne Bayside Private school, shines a spotlight on issues of inequality,

Shine Love & Light on...our Birth Process & Story

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/03/21

In our culture, giving birth is perceived as frightening, painful and something to endure. Women are not taught to trust their bodies but instead are encouraged to hand over their health and wellbeing (and that of their baby) to the medical system. Intervention is common and information is not being given to women to allow them to make informed and empowered decisions about what is best for their situation. Recently I discovered from Sarah Miller, a Teacher of the Four Seasons Journey and MoonSong

For many, the idea that there are other dimensions and spirits is crazy and inconceivable. It's reserved for fiction, fairytales and fantasy. Too woo-woo for the real world. In this conversation with Alicia Dumais Temmerman, a dear friend, lawyer, Mum of 4 and spirit channeller, we explore a new awareness and acceptance that there is another way to view the world. Alicia generously shares her story so we can learn from her experience communicating with the spirit world, and what's available to us

Shine Love & Light on...Race & conversations about Race

TURNED ON: Wild, free & sexy in your midlife ·

2021/03/07

For a society that's multicultural, we rarely talk about race, colonialisation, and the impact of our skin colour. It's so complex, challenging and overwhelming to know where to begin so instead we avoid conversations and pretend everything is ok. I'm discovering that by focusing on our own discomfort, acting helpless or asserting that we're not doing anything wrong, we miss the opportunity to understand our white privilege, acknowledge and appreciate the injustice, listen and learn, and move

2021/02/21

We live in a society obsessed with diet and weight loss yet the facts around what we eat, and all the choices that are available to us, are often hidden, loaded or difficult to talk about. In this episode I chat with Steph Schall, a plant-based cook, recipe developer and founder of Steph Schall Hub (a face-to-face & online cooking school), to shine love and light on Conscious eating. We talk about our food choices (Steph is vegan and I'm a vegetarian/pescatarian), why food choices are so

Our relationships are an integral part of our lives, yet we rarely talk about them unless they're broken and need attention! In this podcast I talk with Belinda Bailey, an extraordinary Love and Relationship educator and coach with 20 plus years of training and experience in Transpersonal Psychology and Neural and behavioural change. Her work is unique as she draws on cutting edge Quantum psychology, meditation and epigenetics to help people to rewire their neurology and open up themselves up to

2020/10/03

Menopause is one of those topics that people avoid because it's tied up with the suggestion that you're washed up and over the hill once you reach menopause. There's also the mystery around all the bodily changes, and they're considered awkward and uncomfortable - urgh, hot flushes, night sweats...and no cute, sexy bodies in sight! In this episode I talk with Barbara Fitzpartrick-Haddy, a Women's Yoga teacher with a special interest and lots of study on women's health. If you’re interested in

2020/10/03

Unless you want to have a baby, most women don't really care much for their womb. It creates a monthly bleed, discomfort or is otherwise is out of sight and out of mind. Inconvenient womens business that is not discussed. But there's so much more to this wondrous part of our body. It's a portal of life, a source of creativity, and a barometer of our overall health and wellbeing. Not something for us to ignore or be oblivious to because of shame and embarrassment.

We're so critical of our creative abilities, and only feel we can express them if they're perfect and acceptable to others. Especially when it comes to singing! In this episode, I'm joined by Marita Berjurnow (the beautiful voice and composer behind this podcast intro) to talk about the power and wonder of our creative voice. She explains why this is such an important area of our lives and how we can shine love and light on it with magical results.

Shine Love & Light on...Losing a Loved One

2020/10/03

The loss of a loved one is our worst fear. And for many, it's a reality. But it's also a reality that we're not encouraged or comfortable talking about. So the person experiencing loss can feel very isolated, alone and unsure of what's normal. People don't know what to say, so they don't say anything at all. In this episode, I was so fortunate to be joined by Lucinda Pyman who generously shares about her experience losing three loved ones - her Mum when she was 10, a close friend in a car accident

What is spirituality? And how is it different from religion? Is it all purple velvet, feathers, crystals and incense? In this episode, I chat with Kim Konsten, an Akashic Records Coach, who has recently left the corporate world to follow her soul passion and travel the world. Given Akashic records aren’t in your everyday conversation, and what she does may be considered ‘woo woo’, we discuss why she turned her back on her corporate career, what it means to be spiritual, and explore how her

As if it's not difficult enough to live with a mental illness, there's lack of awareness, discrimination, and medication side effects to deal with as well. Sara Magart, a friend and Hive member, openly shares about her experience living with Bi-polar depression and gives us an insight into how it impacts her life, how the illness will present differently for every person, and what steps we can all take to shine love and light on mental illness personally and as a community.
