EP 320: Intrusive Thoughts, Self-Trust & Deep Healing with Sheryl Paul
In this soulful and uplifting episode, I reconnect with Sheryl Paul (now Sheryl Lisa Finn), a beloved return guest whose work has had a profound impact on my own journey. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend going back and listening to our first conversation - it’s a beautiful contrast to where I was then, and how far life has taken me now. This episode is a heartfelt deep dive into the emotional roots of anxiety and what it truly means to build self-trust. Sheryl and I explore topics that are so aligned with the essence of this podcast - from the wisdom hidden in intrusive thoughts to the deeper layers of grief and shame that often go unacknowledged. You’ll walk away from this conversation feeling more connected, more grounded, and more equipped to face your inner world with compassion and clarity. In this episode, we explore: - Why anxiety is a messenger, not a problem - The link between intrusive thoughts and unmet needs - Why healing anxiety means working with grief and shame - What true self-trust really looks like — and how to build it Whether you’re deep in your healing journey or just beginning to explore your emotional world, Sheryl’s gentle wisdom is like a balm for the anxious mind. This is one to revisit again and again.

EP 319: The Hidden Link Between Anxiety & Your Desires with Georgie Collinson
In this episode, Georgie unpacks a powerful truth about anxiety that no one’s talking about: You’re not anxious because something is wrong with you - you’re anxious because there’s something you deeply want… but you don’t believe you can have it. She explores how this hidden root of high-functioning anxiety is often linked to childhood conditioning, unhealed emotional patterns, and the inner conflict between desire and deprivation. You’ll learn how to shift out of the powerless state of the “Anxiety Battler” and into the calm, grounded energy of the “Anxiety Master.” Explore The Anxiety Masters 5-Day Byron Bay Retreat (3 spots left) - https://georgiecollinson.com/byronbayretreat Need more anxiety support?

In this eye-opening episode, I’m joined by the incredibly knowledgeable Lucas Aoun — a leading naturopath who’s made waves in the biohacking world and even earned the attention of Andrew Huberman.

We also unpack his controversial take on ashwagandha, the “golden child” of herbal medicine — including why it might not be as harmless as you think.

EP 317: 3 Steps To Unhook from External Validation & Build Self Worth with Georgie Collinson
In this episode, Georgie explores the deep, often tangled topic of self-worth - why we attach it to things like body image, male attention, success, or relationships, and how to finally begin unhooking from it. She shares her own personal experience of tying self-worth to external milestones like book launches and TV appearances - and the emotional crash that can follow once the moment passes. If you've ever felt your worth rise and fall based on how you're perceived or what you've achieved, this is for you. You’ll learn Georgie’s 3-step approach to accessing your inherent, untouchable self-worth - including the mindset shifts and subconscious work needed to move from fragile confidence to a grounded sense of inner value.

EP 316: Real, Raw, From Career Shifts to Cancer Survival with Laura Behnke
In this heart-opening episode, I’m joined by Laura Behnke, and I’ll be honest — her story moved me to tears. Laura’s journey is one of resilience, vulnerability, and quiet strength. Listening to her share so openly was its own kind of healing, and I know it will touch you too. A gentle note: We do discuss Laura’s experience with an unexpected cancer diagnosis. If this is a sensitive topic for you, please use your own intuition and discernment about whether now is the right time to listen. Sometimes hearing stories like Laura’s can bring incredible awareness and a deeper sense of hope. In this beautiful conversation, we explore: ✅ Laura’s journey from TV sports anchor to sharing her real story ✅ Navigating a cancer diagnosis while caring for her 7-month-old daughter ✅ How vulnerability carried her through life’s biggest curve balls ✅ Redefining success, womanhood, and resilience after profound life shifts Laura doesn’t come with advice or steps to follow — she simply shares her truth. And in that, she offers something so powerful: the reminder that you are not alone. I’m deeply proud to bring you this episode. I hope it opens your heart as much as it did mine.
