You know what you want. Partnership. Commitment. A real love. So why does life keep sending you the almost-man?This episode is about the temptation that appears specifically when you're getting serious about your standards, when you're so close to calling in exactly who and what you've been holding space for. The younger guy. The friend who wants everything but the label. The ex who resurfaces. The hot one night stand…. The forbidden fruit.In this solo episode we unpack why the fruit appears, why it's meant to taste good, and why your most loving God, universe, whatever you believe in,  will never, ever let it work out.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 — The moment you get clear on what you want, the temptation appears11:35 — Why ghosting, being blocked and rejection is actually God protecting you18:17 — How to know when your season of singledom is actually over25:51 — Stop asking regular people how to live an irregular life42:55 — Why flowers and car doors don't make him a good man50:11 — The three dating rules that slow the pace and expose his real intentions1:02:42 — Why and how to say no to the Forbidden Fruit, and why a part of you might not want to. Connect with Me:Want to work with me?

Why do some men avoid commitment?Why do some men sleep with a woman but never choose her?Why do so many women feel like they keep attracting the same type of man?And what actually makes a man grow up?In this conversation with Preston Smiles and Adrian Grenier, we talk about Peter Pan syndrome in men, commitment, modern dating, casual sex culture, masculinity, devotion, and the uncomfortable truths about relationships that most people are too afraid to say out loud.We talk about the difference between the man who wants attention, the man who wants sex, and the man who wants a wife, and why those are often three very different men.This episode is about masculinity, maturity, commitment, integrity, sex, devotion, and why modern dating has so many people confused, hurt, and disconnected.If you have ever wondered:Why won’t he commit?Why did he lose interest after sex?Why do I keep attracting emotionally unavailable men?Do men actually know early if a woman is “wife material”?Can a woman change a man?What makes a man finally grow up?This episode answers those questions.Timestamps 00:00 Peter Pan Syndrome in men 06:40 Why some men avoid commitment 14:10 The difference between sex, girlfriend, and wife 23:50 Why men lose interest after sex 32:15 Casual sex culture & sacred sex 41:30 What makes a man finally grow up 01:06:00 Can a woman change a man? 01:14:30 What makes a man choose one womanConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

What if the reason your love life, your money, and your sense of fulfilment haven’t changed… is because your energy hasn’t changed?In this episode, I sit down with Danny Morel for a conversation that goes far beyond dating advice or surface-level healing. We explore what it really means to attract love, why so many people struggle to receive what they want, and how the patterns we formed as children quietly shape the relationships we choose as adults.Danny shares his perspective on the heart, the feminine, nervous system patterns, spiritual connection, and the deep inner work required to move from fear, control and attachment… into trust, truth and love.We talk about the women who feel like they can hear love, but not let it land.The women who keep choosing men they feel safer being “better than.”The women who say they want healthy love, but feel activated the moment it actually appears.Because real love does not begin when you finally find the right person.It begins when you stop outsourcing your wholeness and come back home to yourself.This conversation is about love, polarity, feminine energy, childhood wounds, truth-telling, intimacy, attraction, and the healing required to receive the life you say you want.Because the partner is never the answer.The answer is who you become when you no longer need one.Key Timestamps00:00 Why your life never changes until your energy changes06:03 The nervous system block that stops people from receiving love12:48 Victim energy, creator energy, and the identity behind your relationships16:04 Why your ex may have been your greatest teacher24:31 Why you attract a partner when you no longer need one33:27 Why healthy love can feel activating instead of safe40:13 The pattern of choosing men you feel “better than”54:34 Why truth, not performance, is the foundation of real loveConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

If setbacks become some of our biggest teachers, then why are we a society that is so obsessed with winning? And what happens when the thing you’ve poured your entire life into suddenly breaks?I’m not talking about a small mistake, or a minor inconvenience. But the kind of moment that makes your stomach drop and your nervous system go into full survival mode.In this solo podcast episode, I share the story behind building a new podcast set in Austin, a huge investment of time, money and energy, and what happened when the entire thing went wrong.Lost files.Production mistakes.Leadership lessons I had to own.Because when you’re building something meaningful, it never feels like “just work.”Your identity is in it.Your future is in it.Your nervous system is in it.And when it breaks, it can feel like your entire world is collapsing with it.This conversation is about ambition, leadership, resilience, and the brutal truth of building something that actually matters.Because the people who create extraordinary lives aren’t the ones who avoid setbacks.They’re the ones who get hit, learn, and rebuild anyway.In this episode we cover:Why ambitious women tie their nervous system to their workThe brutal leadership lesson I learned from my Austin podcast setWhat happens when your team makes a mistake that costs you everythingWhy high performers feel setbacks so deeplyThe moment I realised I rolled the dice on my own personal brandHow your nervous system mistakes career threats for survival threatsThe difference between teaching transformation and actually living itWhy resilience is built in the rebuild, not the winTimestamps00:00 When something you built starts falling apart03:09 Why your nervous system treats work like survival10:28 Building a high-risk podcast set in Austin18:21 The moment everything started going wrong29:22 When your life’s work becomes your identity33:40 Why ambitious women can’t just “walk away” from what they’ve built39:35 When you realise your entire identity is tied to your work45:58 The real test of resilience when life knocks you downConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

What if a herpes diagnosis didn’t ruin your life… but became the thing that forced you to rebuild it?In this episode, I sit down with the face of male herpes advocacy Christopher Pickering for a raw, honest and unexpectedly empowering conversation about herpes, shame, dating, disclosure, rejection, confidence and identity.I wont lie, the conversation about HSV is getting boring for me. But not when it's with the intelligent mind of Chris Pickering. Together we talk about the emotional spiral so many people enter after diagnosis, the stories we attach to herpes that often hurt more than the virus itself, and why healing is about so much more than managing outbreaks. Christopher shares how herpes gave him purpose, changed his relationships, bettered his sex life, and pushed him to become stronger, clearer and more honest in every part of his life.This conversation is for anyone navigating shame, fear of rejection, anxiety around disclosure, or the belief that their life will never feel normal again. In this episode you will learn tools to turn your pain into your power and work with logic to realise how easy breakthrough can be, once you decide its the only way forward. If you have just walked out of the doctors office and need two humans to shine a torch for you, this episode is it. In this episode, we cover:What to do in the first days after a herpes diagnosisWhy dating is still absolutely possible with herpesHow to disclose without shame, overexplaining or trauma dumpingThe biggest mindset shifts for rebuilding confidenceWhy rejection is survivable — and not the end of your love lifeHow herpes can actually become a catalyst for healing, growth and self-respectThe truth about shame, identity, outbreaks and living a normal sex lifeTimestamps:00:00 Why a herpes diagnosis can feel life-altering02:54 What people most need to hear on day one06:26 How to cope when you’ve just found out15:09 Why shame does not disappear on its own19:18 How to rebuild your confidence after diagnosis34:19 How to disclose without sounding ashamed44:35 How to handle rejection and keep dating01:08:04 How to enjoy sex again without anxietyConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

Have you ever sworn you were “done” with a man, a job, a pattern… and then found yourself right back in it? This episode is a deep dive into why we loop the same patterns over and over again, and what it actually takes to be complete, not just “healed enough” to cope.I share the story of a Bali clothing brand I adored but that kept leaving me feeling disrespected, and how walking out of that store for the last time cracked open a much bigger pattern of self-abandonment, body image, and identity. I also take you into the trauma-bonded relationship with my ex, the man my inner child went to for safety, and the final straw that forced me to create that safety inside myself instead.This is an episode about energetic real estate: why nothing new can land when you’re still half in, half out with the old.For the woman who knows better in her mind, but her body keeps going back.For the woman who can feel a bigger life calling, but is still entangled with past pains and limitations. Timestamps 00:00: Why you keep looping patterns in love, work and behaviour (even when you “know better”) 04:00: “Readiness isn’t being healed, it’s being complete” – the distinction that changes everything 07:02: The Bali goddess clothes: loving the product, hating the disrespect, and starting to outgrow an identity 21:08: The stylist, the changeroom and old bullying wounds – when body image trauma hijacks your self-expression 39:22: The $650 bag and the full-body “never again” – declaring completion and finding a new store the same night 47:01: The ex who felt like safety: trauma bond, little-girl need, and the sentence that shattered my nervous system 53:03: Creating safety for the inner child instead of acting from the wound, and finally cutting the cord 59:01: Energetic real estate, calling in the final lessons, and becoming a magnet for what (and who) you actually desireConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains detailed discussion of child loss, emergency medical situations and the lived experience of a grieving mother. Please listen with care. There’s a moment in every mother’s life where the thing she has always named as her greatest fear… actually happens.This conversation lives in that moment, and in everything that comes after.In this episode, I sit with Megsy Ann, a mother who lost her one-year-old son, Rambo, suddenly – and chose not to collapse, numb out or disappear, but to walk herself through the darkest initiation a human can face and somehow become more loving, more powerful, and more present to life.This isn’t a “bounce back” story. It’s an honest and tender exploration of what grief really does to a woman’s body, her faith, her family and her relationship with pleasure and power… when the worst thing you can imagine actually happens and the sun still rises the next day.We talk about:The night Rambo passed and the moment she found herself doing CPR on her own child.Creating her own rituals for his afterlife care, bringing his body home and letting her daughter say goodbye.Parenting one child on earth and one in another realm, and how grief reshaped her family.Staying connected to sensuality, intimacy and life-force in the middle of loss.What she would say to any mother who doesn’t believe she can survive this.Key Timestamps00:00 – The moment every parent fears07:30 – “I realised I hadn’t moved in three weeks”11:40 – The day Rambo died19:20 – Afterlife care and bringing his body home27:40 – Supporting Sunny through losing her brother34:40 – Refusing the taboo around death57:00 – Sex, pleasure and intimacy in the landscape of grief1:02:00 – A message for mothers who don’t think they can survive thisConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse, grooming, coercion, PTSD/C-PTSD, the criminal justice process, suicide, and family betrayal. Please listen with care. Some secrets don’t just live in your mind.They live in your body. Your relationships. Your appetite. Your nervous system. Your ability to trust.In this episode, I sit down with Tracie Callaghan for a raw, deeply important conversation about childhood sexual abuse, the choice point that made her finally speak, and what it actually looks like to pursue justice years later.Tracie shares what it’s like to report abuse decades after it happened, how the system can retraumatise survivors through the process, and the gut-punch reality of a trial that never eventuated. We also go where most conversations won’t: the psychological warfare of grooming, the confusing truth that a body can respond to stimuli during abuse, and why blaming survivors keeps abuse alive.This is an episode for the woman holding a secret.For the woman who thinks it’s “too late.”For the woman who’s terrified of the consequences of telling the truth.Because speaking isn’t the aftermath.Speaking is the beginning.Timestamps00:00: Tracie shares the truth: childhood sexual abuse, multiple perpetrators, and choosing prosecution03:09: The “sliding doors” moment: the choice point between silence and liberation07:10: Telling her mum at 8… and being sent back anyway (the cost of not being protected)10:19: How trauma shaped her body, autonomy, risk-taking, and relationships (C-PTSD + “I didn’t believe I could say no”)11:12: The identity shift: coming out later in life, and untangling truth vs protection24:27: The justice system reality: 4 years, 150+ offences reduced to 12 charges, and the retraumatisation of “evidence”32:42: The day everything collapsed: he died 7 days before trial, no note, and the grief of stolen justice55:24: What changed after: shame leaving the body, capacity for love, and reclaiming sex, intimacy, and worthinessConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

There’s a moment in every human journey where the thing you think is the problem turns out to be nothing more than the doorway to the real work.Herpes isn’t the villain in this story.Shame is.And shame only survives when it goes unexamined, unspoken, and unchallenged.In this episode, I sit down with Adrienne (The Yoni Nutritionist) and Christopher Pickering, two people who’ve lived the diagnosis, dismantled the stigma, and rebuilt their identities on the other side of it.But this isn’t a conversation about sexual health.It’s a conversation about the human tendency to build entire identities from untested fears, and then mistake those fears for truth.We explore why people cling to victimhood even when freedom is available, why disclosure becomes a litmus test for trust, why men and women metabolise shame so differently, and what happens when you stop organising your life around avoidance and start organising it around agency.It’s a conversation about story; the one you inherited, the one you created, and the one you finally choose to let go of.Timestamps00:00 — Intro02:14 — The problem is rarely the problem; the story is.06:40 — Shame’s favourite hiding places.12:58 — Adrienne on reclaiming her body after years of fear.18:23 — Christopher on the “black-pill” mindset and learned hopelessness.25:01 — Disclosure, trust, and the psychology of intimacy.33:44 — Why humans choose familiar pain over unfamiliar freedom.41:20 — Dating, polarity, and what shame does to desire.52:55 — The moment life shifts when you stop negotiating with your worth.Connect with Me:Want to work with me?

Most women don’t realise their ambition is running on adrenaline… until their body, bank account, or peace makes the truth impossible to avoid. This solo episode is about the pattern I spent 2025 unraveling: rushing through life, calling it “drive,” and then having to clean up the mess that speed created.I break down why foundations felt “boring” to me for so long, why it’s so hard to quit a pattern that produces results (especially results disguised as “healthy” results), and how leverage, not motivation, actually creates change. I tell the story of burning my curls out twice, injuring my chest because I refused to slow down, and ignoring the basic maintenance my body and business were quietly begging for.This isn’t an episode about productivity.It’s about safety, self-trust, and learning to create from a regulated nervous system instead of panic.Because abundance doesn’t reward chaos. It backs the woman who has the nervous system to hold what she’s asking for.Key Timestamps01:10 Why “boring” foundations are the thing that saves your future08:00 The real reason change sticks13:00 Partnership, pressure, and the woman you deserve to be29:00 Self-trust reps: “I say we do”39:00 Injury loops + health anxiety: what rushing creates54:00 Business systems, money leaks, and cleaning up old mess56:20 Abundance doesn’t enter rushed spaces1:00:20 High functioning vs. regulated 1:08:00 Not all good change feels good at first1:10:40 Resigning from survival patternsConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

Some people talk about “not settling.”Hayley Michelle Andrews lived it.What happens when the life you’ve built is good… but your soul is quietly whispering this isn’t it?This conversation is the collision point between destiny and doubt, where biology, timelines, and fear meet the inconvenient truth that almost-love still isn’t love. And where a woman learns to trust the ache instead of numbing it.Hayley is a devoted mother, a sacred-union teacher, and a woman who walked away from a safe, stable relationship at 34 with the biological clock screaming at her, because she could feel, in her body, that her real love existed somewhere she hadn’t met yet.And then she met Sam.A man she recognised not from logic, but from memory.In this episode, we explore the entire emotional ecosystem behind soulmate-level partnership: the longing, the leaving, the ache, the self-trust, the timelines, the grief, the shadows, the courage, and the exact moment divine love arrives.And then the story takes a turn, because the love of her life ends up being sentenced to nine years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.And she chooses him anyway.This isn’t a story about romance.It’s a story about conviction, devotion, identity, and the difference between desperation and desire.Inside this episode we explore:• The moment Hayley realised “good enough” is still a form of self-abandonment• Why the ache is not a problem to fix, but the compass that leads you home• Age, timelines, and the mythology of ‘running out of time’• The mythic feeling of meeting “your one”• The shadows that sacred partnership exposes• What actually creates secure love• Prison, devotion, and redefining commitment• Motherhood as initiation|• How Hayley rebuilt her life from the ground upThis conversation is a masterclass in feminine self-trust, emotional courage, and what it means to refuse the life that’s “almost right” in service to the life that is fully yours. It is an ode to the women who are waiting, aching, praying, doubting, strengthening, and holding their standards even when it’s hard.If you’ve ever felt torn between the comfort of certainty and the truth in your body, this episode will feel like someone finally put your experience into words.Connect with Me:Apply for Success School Today and receive a free social media and website audit when you join.

The internet claims to value honesty, yet consistently punishes women who speak plainly about sex, pleasure, and their bodies.In this episode, I’m joined by Adrienne Rommel, known as The Yoni Nutritionist, for a conversation about herpes, online shaming, and why the backlash is rarely about the topic itself. When women talk openly about sex, what they often trigger isn’t moral outrage, it’s unprocessed shame.We explore how herpes doesn’t create insecurity so much as expose what was already there: fear of rejection, perfectionism, religious conditioning, and long-held doubts about worthiness. What many women experience as a sexual health issue is often a nervous system issue, a body responding to a lack of safety.We talk about why women struggle to orgasm when they don’t feel emotionally safe, how trauma lives in the body long after the mind has moved on, and why symptoms often appear when intuition is ignored in dating and relationships. The body isn’t sabotaging women, it’s communicating.We also unpack the absurd stigma gap between cold sores and genital herpes, the unseen impact viral mockery has on healing women, and why trying to be universally palatable online leads straight to self-abandonment.This episode isn’t really about herpes.It’s about self-respect, safety, and refusing to let shame decide how openly you live.Key Timestamps00:00 Being called sluts, whores, 304’s, and receiving death threats, the cost of speaking openly05:30 Going viral, 3,000 hate comments, and the women who got re-triggered09:20 “All I saw was hurt men and wounded little boys”14:00 When the troll is identifiable: the temptation to contact HR (and why she didn’t)18:30 The NZ TikToker drama, community protection, and public apologies31:00 “Hands up if…” the universal wounds herpes tends to amplify54:10 Nervous system safety + orgasm: why the body won’t open when it doesn’t feel safe1:09:40 Cold sores vs genital herpes: same virus, completely different shame1:12:15 The brother who judged her… until his sister got herpes and wanted to dieConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

I was robbed while living alone in Bali, by someone I thought I knew.The break-in wasn’t the trauma. My response was.In this solo episode, I share the full story of having my villa broken into while living alone in Bali, and the lesson that followed that reshaped how I understand power, safety, and nervous system regulation.This isn’t a story about victimhood or fear. It’s a reflection on intuition ignored, boundaries crossed, and the moment I confused reaction with empowerment. A moment where “standing in my power” came from fight, not presence, and ultimately created more dysregulation in my life than the original event itself.We explore how the nervous system responds under threat, why reactivity can feel righteous in the moment, and how true mastery is built quietly, in the pauses we’re tempted to rush past. This episode is about learning the difference between being able to confront something… and choosing the response that actually keeps you safe.If you’re a woman who’s strong, self-aware, and used to handling things on your own, this episode will land. Especially if you’re learning that real power isn’t loud, performative, or explosive, it’s regulated, discerning, and deeply embodied.Timestamps 00:00 — Why this is the hardest lesson I took out of 202503:45 — Mastery isn’t built in big moments, it’s built in the crevices12:40 — Fight, flight, freeze & fawn: how the nervous system actually responds24:10 — Realising I’d been robbed — and why it didn’t feel right59:10 — Choosing confrontation from fight, not alignment01:18:30 — The cost of confusing empowerment with reactivity01:27:40 — Why real power is quiet — and always gives you choiceConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

I think I dated the Hinge Swindler for a weekend in Austin, Texas.This episode is part dating story, part nervous-system education, and part reality check for any woman who’s ever overridden her intuition because the chemistry was that good.After two wildly intense dates with a man who seemed emotionally intelligent, self-aware, family-oriented, and deeply aligned with my values, my body started whispering that something wasn’t right. Then the red flags escalated. A missing bank card. Mirroring. Confusing communication. Rage when I calmly asked a clarifying question. And the sudden realisation that romance fraud is a $1.15 billion-a-year industry in the US alone.This isn’t about paranoia, or even protection…It’s about discernment.In this episode, I break down:Why chemistry is instant but character is revealed over timeHow emotionally intelligent women still get pulled into dangerous dynamicsThe difference between intuition and self-sabotageWhy healthy men never punish curiosityHow love-bombing, mirroring, and spiritual language are used in romance fraudAnd why self-worth, boundaries, and nervous-system regulation are non-negotiable if you want real partnershipIf you’ve ever felt confused by someone who felt too good to be true, this episode will sharpen your discernment, strengthen your self-trust, and remind you that your standards are not the problem.Key Timestamps00:00 – I think I dated the Hinge Swindler06:30 – Romance fraud, intuition & why smart women still get scammed18:00 – Why I went on the apps (and what I was actually looking for)27:30 – The best first date of my life… and the feeling something was off38:00 – The missing bank card & the moment my body knew47:00 – When I calmly asked a question and he lost it1:01:30 – The 3×3 Dating Rule that saves you months of pain1:13:00 – Final lesson: standards, self-trust & healthy menConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

Most women think they’re struggling because something is wrong.Often, it’s because they’re expanding.In this solo episode, I break down the messy, confronting, often unspoken reality of courage: you build a life you once prayed for… and then you grow beyond the woman who set those goals. The discomfort you feel isn’t misalignment… it’s evolution.From visa investments, business restructuring, team transitions, and podcast heartbreak, to the inner-child fears and identity wars that surface when you choose a bigger life, I speak transparently about what it really takes to keep moving forward when a part of you is terrified of change. I explain why courage isn’t confidence, why fear is a necessary prerequisite, and why the nervous system cannot regulate in the future, meaning every next level will feel uncertain until you learn to create internal safety as you step into the unknown.If you’re ambitious, in transition, outgrowing the old version of yourself, or quietly asking “Why does this feel so hard when I’m doing everything right?” then this episode will be fore you.Timestamps00:00 What courage really is (and isn’t)04:52 Why women outgrow the life they once prayed for11:09 Why choice calms the nervous system (and keeps you going)12:11 Your system can’t regulate in the future, here’s why it matters21:36 The real cost of stepping into your next level29:47 The internal war between your past self & your expanded self39:48 Embodiment vs. information, why people feel your truth50:23 The strongest-desire question that unlocks courage58:46 Simplifying your life to create capacity for expansion63:41 Why I’m all-in on solo episodes (and why your feedback matters)Connect with Me:Want to work with me?

Most entrepreneurs aren’t chasing success, they’re chasing relief.They chase revenue, seven-figure milestones, exits, and status believing that once they arrive, they’ll finally feel calm, fulfilled, and free. But for many high performers, hitting the goal doesn’t bring peace, it exposes a deeper misalignment.In this episode, I’m joined by Austin Netzley, serial entrepreneur, investor, and author who has built, scaled, and exited multiple businesses, and now works with founders who look wildly successful on paper yet feel trapped, burnt out, or disconnected inside their lives. Austin supports founders to double their income while reclaiming their time, energy, and life, without sacrificing health, relationships, or freedom.Together we unpack the lie that more money equals more fulfilment, how entrepreneurs slowly lose themselves through invisible “micro-movements” of hustle and comparison, and why most people don’t actually want a seven-figure business, they want space to breathe, time with their family, and peace in their body.We talk about why becoming a millionaire can be the least climactic moment of all, how burnout becomes a wake-up call rather than a failure, the difference between financial freedom and emotional freedom, and how to build a business that supports your life, not one that consumes it.If you’re ambitious, capable, in a transition period, or quietly wondering “Why doesn’t this feel the way I thought it would?” - our conversation will hit home.Timestamps00:00 Why success is personal (and comparison ruins it)01:17 What entrepreneurs actually want: freedom02:38 The slow way people lose themselves03:23 Why “seven figures” isn’t the real goal05:10 Burnout, anxiety & the cost of hustle06:28 Money trauma and chasing safety10:40 When actions don’t match desired freedom22:14 Not everyone should be an entrepreneur27:02 The three freedoms that actually matter29:12 Why becoming a millionaire felt empty41:24 Build your business around your lifeConnect with Austin:Instagram: @austinnetzleyConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

As a kid, he was the one finishing the mile alone while the whole class waited, the one who didn’t see anyone who looked or sounded like him on TV, the one told by a speech teacher to find a life where he “wouldn’t need to talk.” Today, Phillip Solomon is a primetime reality star, a sought-after trainer, and a man who knows exactly what he brings into any room — even when the room wasn’t built with him in mind. We unpack what it means to walk through the world as “too much” and “not enough” at the same time, to navigate prejudice on dating apps and in real life, to live with a stutter in a culture obsessed with smooth delivery, and to still decide: I will be seen. I will be heard. I will build my own space if you don’t make one. Expect to learn why knowing your essence changes how you date, work, and walk into every room, how to turn rejection into fuel, what reality TV really revealed about his identity, and why, if there’s no seat for you at the table, you bring your own wood, hammer and nails — and extend the table yourself. Timestamps 00:00 Growing up “too much” in a world that didn’t see him 04:12 The moment he realised people saw him as a threat 08:01 “You’d be hot… if I was into people who look like you” 13:02 From overweight, lonely kid to 45 pounds down and hungry for more 17:40 Why he chose teaching and fitness as his arenas of impact 22:18 Deal or No Deal Island: using reality TV as a platform, not a peak 28:54 Love, hate and death threats in the DMs 35:29 Bringing his energy into Barry’s and owning what he adds to the room 45:02 Passion, purpose and why most adults can’t answer “What do you bring?” 49:50 When there’s no seat for you… Becoming the person who extends the table Connect with Phillip: Instagram: @phillipsolomon_Want to work with me?

Women talk about wanting to step into their power, yet most of us are terrified of being fully seen, heard, or expressed. In this conversation with vocal liberation guide Leah Free, we explore why a woman’s voice is the most direct pathway to her power… and the one she’s been taught to fear the most.We break down why women are scared to speak; centuries of being punished for our truth, social conditioning to be agreeable, the fear of being “too much,” and the internalised belief that our desire or depth might cost us belonging.Expect to learn how sound and breath regulate the nervous system, why real power lives in quiet everyday moments, how the “throat–womb” link amplifies feminine expression, and how vocal liberation reshapes confidence, sex, love, and the life you’re willing to claim.Timestamps00:00 Are women afraid of their own power?04:10 The truth about suppressed feminine power08:18 Real power vs external, performative power12:40 The micro-moments where power actually lives17:13 What we’re really hunting for: resonance & truth22:04 Surrender, prayer & asking for help31:25 How to know when you’re at capacity36:12 “Good things take time”: patience & power49:28 Why most women hate their own voice57:02 What vocal liberation really unlocksConnect with Leah:Instagram: @leahlivefreeWork with Leah: Click hereConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

At the start of the year, I told this podcast I’d hit my first One Million Dollar year. And here’s the reality: I did not make a million dollars this year. My business grew by 1.55%, and seeing that number forced me to confront the pressure, the ego, the stories and the expectations I’ve been carrying around money, success and self-worth.In this episode, I break down the money shame no one talks about, the cost of chasing goals for validation, and why “half a million but happier” might be a far better life than the million I thought would finally make me feel safe. I share what shifted when I stopped letting Stripe define me, why dating highly successful men reframed my view of what a true provider actually is, how going viral for a controversial clip strengthened my resilience, and why I’m done setting income goals that disconnect me from the life I deserve to live, and the woman I deserve to be. Timestamps00:00 — I didn’t hit $1M04:45 — Money shame & “half a million but happier”09:50 — The trap of month-to-month metrics15:20 — Facing the inner critic21:40 — Rethinking the “provider”28:30 — Dating wealthy men & missing depth36:40 — Viral hate, shame & resilience44:30 — Letting go of rigid goalsConnect with Me:Want to work with me?
