The Wellness Collective with Nat Kringoudis

Why does it feel like women are expected to do everything… and somehow still feel like they're falling short?
In this episode, Hilary Holmes opens up about motherhood, entrepreneurship, community, and the invisible pressure women carry every day. From raising children and building businesses to trying to meet expectations that no longer fit modern life, this is an honest conversation about the reality so many women are quietly living through.
We talk about parenting without control, navigating guilt as a working mum, and why community matters more than ever. Hilary also shares the challenges of growing a business while trying to stay connected to herself and the people around her.
At the core of it, this conversation is a reminder that success doesn’t have to look the same for everyone and maybe the goal isn’t doing it all, but creating a version of life that actually works for you.

What does it really take to build a life, a body, and a business you love… especially when things don’t go to plan?
In this episode, I’m joined by Maha and Sally, the sister duo behind Swish and the original Super Green Smoothies movement. We go beyond the highlight reel and talk honestly about what a “10-year overnight success” actually looks like, from business pressures to navigating life as sisters.
Sally shares her stage 3 cancer diagnosis just after giving birth, and how that experience completely changed the way she sees time, health, and what really matters. Maha opens up about rewriting old relationship patterns, doing the inner work, and calling in something different.
We also get into comparison, tall poppy syndrome, and why celebrating your wins is more important than you think. Because at the end of the day, you can’t build a life you love if you’re constantly tearing yourself down.
🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ What a “10-year overnight success” really looks like behind the scenes
✅ How a cancer diagnosis can shift your perspective on life
✅ Why small, consistent choices matter more than quick fixes
✅ How mindset and inner work can change your relationships
✅ The impact of comparison and how to move through it
✅ Why you can’t heal a body you hate

What if the way we’re living isn’t actually how women are designed to live?
In this conversation, Jane Hardwicke Collings shares a powerful perspective on women’s health, cycles, and what’s been lost over generations. From the way we experience our periods to how we move through different life stages, she explains why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies.

At its core, this conversation is about remembering, reconnecting, and doing things differently.

In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most common things I see in clinic, heavy bleeding, and why it’s something we should never ignore. Because while it might be common, it’s absolutely not normal, and it’s your body trying to tell you something deeper is going on.
I walk you through what’s actually happening hormonally, from estrogen dominance to low progesterone, and why so many conventional approaches miss the real cause. We also get into the role your gut, liver, and even your daily habits play in how your body processes hormones.
This is about understanding your body, not working against it. Because when you start addressing the root cause, everything begins to shift.
🌿 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ What “Heavy Bleeding” Actually Means
✅ Why It’s Common but Not Normal
✅ The Real Hormonal Imbalance Behind It
✅ How Gut and Liver Health Impact Your Cycle
✅ Why Quick Fixes Often Miss the Root Cause
✅ Simple Ways to Start Supporting Your Body
