If you’ve ever struggled with stage fright, judgment, or expressing your authentic self, her story will resonate. We also dive into a refreshing conversation about the...

In this episode, Georgie offers a rare, grounded perspective on the future of AI - one that invites curiosity and calm instead of fear. She explores how the rise of technology might actually bring humanity closer to what truly matters: being rather than doing, creativity over productivity, and meaning beyond the metrics. You’ll hear Georgie’s reflections on why AI doesn’t have to be the end of purpose as we know it, how entirely new opportunities will emerge, and how we can consciously shape the kind of world we want to live in. If you’ve ever worried about what the future holds, this...

In this week’s episode, I sit down with the radiant Zoe Bosco, a kinesiologist who helps women reconnect with their body’s wisdom and unlock their full potential. This conversation goes deep — into healing, intuition, and what it truly means to live in alignment with your dreams. Zoe shares her story of finding kinesiology after walking away from osteopathy studies, and how that choice changed everything. She also opens up about breaking free from an abusive relationship and the deep transformation that followed — including a newfound sense of freedom she recently experienced at...

In this episode, Georgie shares the three pieces of advice she wishes she could give her past self - the one running on perfectionism, pressure, and the constant need to achieve. If you’ve ever found it hard to slow down, felt guilty for resting, or tied your worth to how much you get done, this conversation will help you reconnect with what truly matters. Georgie unpacks what high-functioning anxiety really feels like beneath the surface, the surprising truth about why “working harder” doesn’t fix it, and how to begin finding peace in simply being—without losing your edge. ...

In this week’s episode, I introduce you to the fabulous Amanda Kolbye — a powerhouse business coach who built a seven-figure brand, lived the ultimate laptop lifestyle, and travelled the world… until it all stopped working. Amanda hit a point of deep burnout — though burnout barely scratches the surface. What followed was a full dismantling of everything she’d built. She took a sabbatical, stepped away from her business, and entered what she calls “the messy middle” — that disorienting space between who you were and who you’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt lost after...

In this episode, Georgie shares the behind-the-scenes story of how 2025 became a year of radical change, unexpected growth, and a complete reinvention of her business and identity. She opens up about her early days operating from a hyper-masculine, workaholic drive, softening into feminine flow during her Bali and Byron Bay chapters, and the recent stretch that demanded stronger systems, discipline and leadership to hold her next-level vision. This is a raw and honest reflection on what it really takes to evolve - when calm and slow are no longer the edge, and balance becomes the...

In this inspiring episode, I speak with bestselling author Amber Rae about her new book Lovable. While it may sound like a story about forbidden love, the deeper message is about what it really means to choose yourself - even when society, family, or the people closest to you may not understand or support your choice. So many women I work with struggle under the weight of shoulds - the expectations of being the “good girl,” following the rules, and living a life that looks perfect on the outside but feels deeply misaligned on the inside. When we abandon ourselves this way, anxiety often...

In this episode, Georgie opens up about her own experience with jealousy earlier this year - an emotion so many of us feel but rarely talk about honestly. She shares how comparison and envy showed up in her life, what it revealed about her deeper desires, and the surprising insights she gained by leaning in instead of pushing it away. If you’ve ever scrolled through social media and felt that pang of “why not me?” or found yourself comparing your path to someone else’s, this conversation will help you see jealousy in a whole new light. Rather than letting it fuel anxiety or...

In this heartfelt episode, I speak with the delightful Alex Croxford, who helps women release guilt and shame so they can open themselves up to the deep love they crave at a soul level. Alex shares her powerful story of being the one who cheated - a perspective that carries so much stigma and silence, yet also offers profound lessons in healing, forgiveness, and growth. Whether you’ve been the one who cheated, the one who was cheated on, or you simply know the heavy weight of guilt and shame in your own life, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Shame and guilt are feelings...
info_outlineIn 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.
Let’s go to the show.
