When we are intentional about how we move and think, we reap the rewards. Music is so central to how we celebrate, mourn and regulate ourselves, but how often are you that intentional about what you are listening to? This conversation explores the listening journey, from the first sound that you hear, your mother's heart beat.. to the ballads that we hope you will serenade yourself with. You will gain a deeper understanding of the tools that music therapy offers as a healing modality for those who identify with less linguistic emoting. Nathanielle, a classically trained soprano, shares her voice, her wisdom and her perspectives on the power of your own internal voice and her experience using music for healing in brain injury, dementia and embodiment. This episode is sure to get you humming, at the very least!
If you are a human being, this podcast is for you. If you are a parent, you are obliged to listen.

Here is a road map for better self regulation, modelling helpful behaviours and teaching missing skills to your children.

I loved connecting with Dr Simone Silver. Simone is a functional medicine doctor with an interest in chronic stress and balancing sex hormones. She is a gracious embodiment of the work that she does and she brings to life in this conversation the impact and intricacies of cortisol and how it affects thyroid, your microbiome, your sex hormones and your serotonin production. We explore tools for better regulation and the downstream cascade of events when a person's nervous system doesn't have an off button. Dr Simone so beautifully articulates the fine balance between our body, mind, spirit and environment. We hope that you feel inspired to moderate your own stress responses after you listen to this, chronic stress certainly leads to chronic disease and here is some of why.

It was a joy to connect with Brad and Anthony and talk about their work using Ketamine in the psychotherapeutic context. The power of a psychedelic experience does not lie in the medicine alone, but rather, the therapeutic system within which it is grounded. With thorough preparation, careful attention to set and setting, a trusting therapeutic relationship and ongoing integration, the power and magic of such compounds is unleashed. For anyone looking to explore their own psyche and extend their growth and development or anyone who is looking for alternatives to address depression, anxiety, OCD or addiction, this conversation is door opening.

In this fascinating discussion about what we know about stool transplants, we unpack the history of this novel practice, it's current applications and the potential for it's future. By transplanting the stool of a 'super donor,' we are able to manipulate your microbiome and in so doing affect many disease processes. Dr Barrow explains how this procedure is done, it's risks and the current research being done in Autism, Psychiatry, Functional gut disease, Inflammatory bowel disease and more. We get down to the details of Helico Bactor pylori infection and PPI use and how what we eat and our mode of birth delivery is so vital to building our biomes. This episode is dense and enriching.
It's time for women to rewrite the patriarchal narrative attached to all kinds of medicine, especially that of female sexual and reproductive wellbeing.
In this conversation with sexual health expert Dr Larisse, we explore all of the pieces that are necessary for a full and embodied sexual life. I think that men need to listen to this conversation as much as women do. We empower you with knowledge and tools for your own healing and actualisation; touching on your own anatomy, sexual pain, libido, relationships, hormones and the impact of contraception on fulfilling sex.

For those of you who don't know much about homeopathy, this conversation gives you insight into the philosophy and scope of the Homeopath's work. Dr Lindi Mets asks, is it kind, is it gentle and is it necessary of every treatment that she prescribes for a patient. She talks passionately about lifestyle medicine, food intolerances, the connection between the gut and the skin, the supplement industry and the regulatory chasm that perpetuates a divide between allopathic and allied health professionals. Lindi and I both hope that this conversation ripples into the rooms of other health care professionals encouraging more dialogue, collaboration and transformation.

Dr Bentley is as knowledgable as she is easy to understand, sharing tools for improving your own sleep quality and debunking some of the myths around sleep that we have all been led to believe. You thought you needed 8 hours, but this is not true! I learned so much in this conversation and we both hope that it is helpful to you.
This episode gave me so much food for thought that lingered with me. It shifted some of my own perceptions around trauma and healing in a provocative and intelligent way.

She focuses on the neuro-cognitive aspects of disease looking at emotional and psychological trauma and how these both manifest in the body.
I hope you enjoy her passion for her work and her wisdom as much as I did.

In this inspiring episode with Dr Ela Manga, we explore the power of breath as a tool for healing. Dr Ela is an integrative medicine doctor, but breath is her craft. This in-built intelligence is accessible to everyone and is the great connector of all humans. Using breath as a vehicle, Dr Ela shares how we can change our physiology and overcome disease. She describes different kinds of breath, her own frame work for addressing breath work and shares some of her own personal stories and experiences. I came away from this interview feeling so inspired and humbled by Dr Ela's light being.
This conversation is important for anyone who is planning to have children in the future.

Dr Picton talks us through strategies for reducing risk and taking the right steps at the right time.
It was such a joy to sit with my dear, old friend Nicola Varney and share insights and tips for more robust communication and conflict resolution. Nicola's experience in communication strategy, learning and development has spanned both the start up and corporate world. She brings with her to this conversation, her gentle sense of humour, her own vulnerability and real life examples from her day to day life; making this conversation so relatable and so applicable from the moment that you hear it. We both hope that you take this conversation to heart and that the next tricky moment that you have at work or at home, is navigated with more ease because of it.
After all, what defines us so uniquely as humans is our craft of language, best we use it for it's highest purpose; developing deeper and more meaningful connections to those around us.
