  • Embracing Love and Gratitude: A Guided Meditation for Inner Peace
    In this meditation, Paula guides listeners through a transformative journey aimed at elevating safety and expanding trust within the nervous system and mind. She explores the significance of alpha and theta brainwave states in releasing limiting beliefs and fears. Drawing on insights from trauma research and neuroscience, Paula leads a calming practice that fosters heart-brain coherence, inviting participants to embrace elevated emotions like gratitude and love. KEY TAKEAWAYS Alpha and theta brainwave states facilitate access to the subconscious mind, allowing individuals to release limiting beliefs and fears, and promote transformation. The body can carry unprocessed emotions and memories from past traumas, but neuroscience shows that we can work with our nervous system to shift survival patterns and support healing through practices like heart-brain coherence. Identifying and challenging limiting beliefs is essential for personal growth. By replacing these beliefs with empowering affirmations, individuals can foster self-trust and a positive mindset. Engaging with elevated emotions such as gratitude and love during relaxation practices can enhance neuroplasticity, leading to profound changes in one’s mental and emotional landscape. The practice encourages individuals to integrate their experiences and cultivate a sense of peace, joy, and trust, while also emphasising the importance of seeking professional help when dealing with significant trauma or crises. BEST MOMENTS "As Dr. Gabor Mate says, trauma is not what happened to you, it's what happens inside of you." "When we shift into these relaxed states, we move beyond our habitual patterns and connect with a deeper wisdom within, a part of us that knows how to forgive, to release and trust." "You might like to say, I am worthy of love and belonging. And feel those words warming and opening your heart." "This is neuroplasticity in action, rewiring your inner landscape for freedom and love." "It's important to note that these transformation tracks are great for self-improvement and stress relief. It does not replace professional mental health support."

  • What Makes Leaving A Cult So Painful: The Hidden Traps of Spirituality, Gaslighting & Narcissistic Control – A Real & Honest Conversation with Sandy Newbigging
    In today’s episode, Paula sits down with Sandy Newbigging, Therapeutic Coach, bestselling author, and former monk, who had to extricate himself from a cult, after 14 years. With raw honesty and deep self-inquiry, Sandy shares his profound journey of healing and awakening, shedding light on the hidden dangers of cult mentality, gaslighting, and narcissistic control. Together, they explore the fine line between spiritual enlightenment and manipulation, the deep wounds left by trauma, and why true healing requires us to meet our pain with presence rather than bypass it. This grounded and compassionate conversation invites us to tend to our mental and emotional injuries with the same care as physical ones—offering a powerful perspective on transformation, resilience, and the freedom that comes from facing our deepest wounds. KEY TAKEAWAYS Emphasising the need to reconnect with the physical body and the earth, the discussion highlights how modern life can lead to neglecting our physical existence in favour of spiritual pursuits. Engaging with nature and physical labour can foster a deeper connection to oneself. The conversation sheds light on the characteristics of cults, including love bombing, gaslighting, and the us-versus-them mentality. It stresses that these dynamics can exist in various organisations, not just traditional cults, and can manifest in personal relationships as well. The journey of healing trauma is crucial for personal growth and understanding. The discussion points out that unresolved trauma can lead to a distorted perception of self-worth and can keep individuals trapped in unhealthy dynamics, whether in cults or personal relationships. The need for authenticity often conflicts with the desire for attachment and acceptance. This conflict can lead individuals to suppress their true selves to maintain relationships, which can result in feelings of shame and unworthiness. The importance of combining therapeutic practices with spiritual growth is emphasised. True healing involves addressing inner injuries and traumas, allowing individuals to experience genuine peace and connection, rather than relying solely on spiritual practices that may bypass deeper issues. BEST MOMENTS "I decided to explore whether I had any trauma a few years ago. As I healed my trauma, certain things in the so-called 'spiritual community' stopped being okay for me." "No one joins a cult, they join something good." "The irony of it is that you can go around full circle back to, Oh, actually what I always was is actually really enough." "If our authenticity ever threatens our attachment, our likelihood of being accepted, then our attachment will always trump authenticity." "It starts with honesty. It's so fundamental because we're dealing with reality then."

  • Embracing Faith - The Transformative Insights of Working With A Higher Power and Angels
    In this episode, Paula reflects on the profound themes of faith, trust, and higher guidance, brought to the surface by her recent conversation with Anna Grace Taylor. Paula emphasises the transformative power of faith, illustrating how it serves as an anchor during life's challenges and enhances our mental and physical well-being. She shares practical insights on how to incorporate faith and angelic support into daily life, including a powerful mindset shift of expressing gratitude as if our desires are already fulfilled. Paula ends the episode with a guided meditation designed to help listeners connect with their own divine support, inviting them to embrace their inherent power to transform and heal. KEY TAKEAWAYS Faith serves as a stabilising force during challenging times, providing a sense of support and connection to something greater than ourselves, whether that be angels, the universe, or life's inherent ability to work out for our highest good. Engaging in practices like prayer and meditation not only nurtures the soul but also positively impacts the brain and body, reducing stress hormones and enhancing emotional resilience. Practising coherent breathing—inhale for five seconds and exhale for five seconds—while focusing on positive emotions can help align the heart and brain, promoting mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Inviting divine support from angels can help individuals reframe challenges, manifest dreams, and cultivate trust, which is essential for personal transformation. The presence of a guardian angel offers unwavering support and love, reminding individuals that they are never alone and encouraging them to remain open to inspiration and guidance for their future. BEST MOMENTS "When we ask for something, we should say, thank you, angels, as though it's already done." "Faith is like having an anchor when life's waters just get that bit too choppy." "Angels help us attune to elevated emotional states, scientifically proven to recalibrate the brain and body for healing." "Trust that the angels can handle anything you bring them, no matter how big or small." "The angels remind you that you are never alone. No matter the challenge, they are by your side."

  • Finding Your Voice: Anna Grace Taylor on Trust, Acceptance, and the Magic of Connection
    In today’s episode of Transform Today, Paula welcomes Spiritual Mentor, Author, and Angel Whisperer Anna Grace Taylor for a deeply moving and uplifting conversation. They explore the raw beauty of being human, embracing our imperfections, navigating grief, and opening our hearts to love in all its forms. Anna’s journey is one of resilience, transformation, and pure magic. She faces profound health challenges, with courage and grace, but her story doesn’t end there. After the thrill of meeting music icon Robbie Williams, she was already riding high. But that same night, something even more extraordinary happened—an angelic visitation that filled her with an indescribable love. In that moment, everything shifted, setting her on a path of deep faith, service, and becoming an Angel Guide. This episode is a testament to the magic that unfolds when we surrender to life’s messiness, trust in divine guidance, and allow love to lead the way. Whether you're seeking comfort, inspiration, or a reminder that you're never alone, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anna emphasises the importance of recognising and accepting both our human experiences, including pain and heartbreak, and our divine nature. This balance allows for a more authentic and grounded spiritual journey. A key theme is the significance of self-acceptance. Embracing who we are, with all our imperfections, fosters a sense of worthiness and connection to others. This acceptance is crucial for personal growth and healing. Anna highlights the belief in angels as messengers of love and light, accessible to everyone regardless of their faith. Calling upon angels for support and expressing gratitude can shift one's perspective and open up new possibilities. Grief is acknowledged as a natural part of life, and it's important to allow space for it while also recognizing that love continues beyond physical presence. The ability to coexist with grief while finding joy is a vital aspect of healing. Building genuine connections with others is essential. The conversation encourages moving away from superficial expectations in relationships and instead focusing on emotional connection and vulnerability, which can lead to deeper, more meaningful interactions. BEST MOMENTS "To me, the definition of the angels are those messengers of love and light. I feel that that's why I'm more able to embrace my humanity." "Many spiritual teachers today sometimes just bypass our messiness and just sit with the angels, or sit with a higher power." "I think one of the challenges for me is because when we're so sensitive and we feel this deep connection with spirit, quite often we come out of our bodies." "It's interesting that the research says the people who are happier have the littlest list."

  • Igniting Kindness: The Transformative Power of Compassion in Our Lives
    In this episode, Paula considers the profound impact of kindness on our mental and physical well-being. Drawing on insights from her recent conversation with kindness expert David Hamilton, she explores the science behind kindness, highlighting how acts of compassion can release beneficial hormones like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which promote healing and reduce stress. The episode features a guided meditation designed to elevate energy and cultivate kindness, encouraging listeners to visualize acts of kindness both received and given. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kindness is not just a feel-good concept; it has profound biological effects, including the release of hormones like oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine, which enhance mental and physical well-being. Acts of kindness stimulate the vagus nerve, which helps regulate heart function and reduce stress, promoting a sense of calm and overall health. Kindness is contagious. Witnessing acts of kindness can inspire others to pay it forward, creating a chain reaction of positivity that extends beyond immediate interactions. Regularly practising kindness can reshape neural pathways, making it easier to be compassionate and empathetic, thus enhancing emotional resilience. Setting intentions and using affirmations related to kindness can help reprogram the mind, fostering a deeper connection to love and compassion in everyday life. BEST MOMENTS "Kindness is not just a feel-good idea. It's rooted in real biology." "When we practice acts of kindness, our brain releases happy hormones like oxytocin, often called the love hormone." "High cortisol levels are linked to anxiety, poor sleep, and even inflammation in the body." "Kindness is contagious. When people witness an act of kindness, it inspires them to pay it forward." "Every act of kindness you offer creates waves of goodness across the universe."
