The Brain Changers™
The Brain Changers™ is a podcast all about learning how to revolutionise the way you think and live by mastering your mind. We're your hosts, mother and daughter duo, Rebekah and Yvonne King. Our goal is to empower you to live the life you choose by teaching you how to retrain your brain. Some people tell us it sounds like ‘mind-control’ and you know what? It is! But not in the way you might think. This is about taking control of your own mind - that's right! YOU taking control, rather than letting your mind control you, so you can choose to live a life free from the expectations of others. No matter what you've experienced in the past, you can create positive change and transformation by learning how to master your mind. We know this because we've done it. Between us, we've survived cancer and stroke, and eliminated debilitating anxiety and depression. We've turned our pain into purpose through the power of our mind and we're now here to support and guide you to do the same. In this podcast we share valuable insights about how your brain works, why you think, say, and do the things you do, how to begin the process of change, and why it’s necessary. Because we know that when you change your mind, you change your life.

Ep 40 | Are you dragging yourself to the finish line?
By December, many people aren’t just tired, they’re running on empty. If you’re limping toward the end of the year, counting down days until you can fall in a heap, this episode is for you. In this final episode of 2025, we look at what’s really going on in your brain and nervous system when rest doesn’t seem to “work,” why most people start January already depleted, and how a simple pause - done well - can change the entire trajectory of the year ahead. This isn’t about pushing harder, setting vague resolutions, or reinventing your life overnight. It’s about closing the year in a way your brain actually understands. What you’ll learn ✅ Why feeling exhausted in December isn’t a motivation problem, it’s a nervous system pattern ✅ What happens in the brain when stress chemistry runs for too long ✅ Why most New Year’s resolutions fail (and what your brain needs instead) ✅ The real role of reflection in creating clarity and calm ✅ How to reflect, release, and reignite, without pressure ✅ Why choosing one word for the year works neurologically ✅ How to stop carrying this year’s patterns into the next one Timestamps 00:00 – Teaser: “Dragging yourself to the finish line” 02:15 – Why this time of year feels so heavy 06:40 – Nervous system overload and survival mode 11:20 – Why time off doesn’t always reset your brain 15:10 – Why most resolutions don’t stick 19:30 – Reflection vs rushing into the new year 24:10 – Reflect, release, reignite 29:00 – Why your brain needs closure 33:10 – Choosing a word for the year (and how it works) 38:20 – The Reflection Guide + New Year Clarity Session 43:00 – Episode recap and what’s coming next Links and resources Download your 2026 Reflection guidehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1T-kfczUFCbIxYrlTv2qo542avd1Oe0qV/view?usp=sharing Book a Connection Call with Rebekah to find out how coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us https://moonbeammonday.com.au https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Check out these FREE resources https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources Join us every fortnight Tune in every fortnight as we delve into fascinating topics about the mind and the brain, because when you change your mind, you change your life.

Ep 39 | Emotional freedom isn't a fluke: How to master your emotions on demand
Ever felt like your emotions hijacked you? One minute you’re calm, the next you’ve snapped at someone, avoided the hard conversation, or completely lost focus. Most people think emotional freedom is luck… that some days you have it, some days you don’t. But emotional freedom isn’t random. It’s a skill you can learn. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne unpack what “state management” really means, how your nervous system drives it, and why mastering your state is the difference between reacting on autopilot and choosing how you show up. What you'll learn: ✅ What your “state” actually is, and why it shapes every behaviour you have ✅ The neuroscience of stress: amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, vagus nerve ✅ Why emotional mastery is really nervous system mastery ✅ How anchors work (and why you already have them, whether by accident or design) ✅ Four quick resets you can use anywhere to shift your state instantly ✅ Why daily calibration is like updating your brain’s software Whether you’re leading a team, asking for a pay rise, or just trying not to snap at your kids after a long day, this episode shows you how to master your state on purpose and build emotional freedom that lasts. Timestamps 00:00 – When emotions hijack you 01:05 – What “state” actually means 04:30 – The neuroscience of stress and alignment 09:20 – Anchors: how your brain wires emotions to cues 13:15 – Practical resets 18:00 – Daily calibration for emotional mastery 22:15 – Recap and closing reflections Links and resources Book a Connection Call with Rebekah Find out how private coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us https://moonbeammonday.com.au https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Check out these FREE resources https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources Join us every fortnight Tune in every fortnight as we delve into fascinating topics about the mind and the brain, because when you change your mind, you change your life.

Ep 38 | Hoofbeats & Heartbeats: Mindfulness Lessons from Walking with Horses
What can a horse teach you about mindfulness, intuition, and letting go of control? In this episode, I sit down with Mel McLaren, founder of Walk Sublime: Walking with Horses in Nature™, to explore how mindfulness, healing, and connection come alive in the simplest of moments… a walk through the forest, the sound of hoofbeats beside you, and the quiet synchrony of two heartbeats moving as one. Mel shares her deeply personal story of loss, resilience, and rediscovering purpose through her horses… each one rescued, rehomed, and healing in their own way. Together, they now help others reconnect with presence, boundaries, intuition, and trust; lessons that ripple far beyond the paddock. You’ll hear about: • How Mel turned heartbreak and loss into a life of purpose and healing • The mindfulness lessons that emerge when we walk beside (not ahead of) another being • What horses can teach us about intuition, energy, and emotional regulation • Why control is an illusion, and how surrendering can transform both horse and human • The surprising parallels between walking with horses and leading with clarity in life and work This is a conversation about connection - with nature, with ourselves, and with something greater. Timestamps 02:04 – How Mel’s dream of walking with horses began 05:00 – The turning point: loss, grief, and starting over 06:50 – Healing through nature and connection with horses 14:06 – Rehomed horses and their powerful backstories 18:02 – Saxon’s story: the foal who found a forever home 20:11 – The horses’ intuition and the human connection 25:20 – How horses mirror our energy, emotions, and beliefs 33:00 – Introducing Sublime Intervention: a vision 36:00 – What we can learn about mindfulness, boundaries, and presence 46:00 – The Sublime Way — a gentle, mindful approach to leadership and influence 50:57 – Letting go of control (for all the “recovering control freaks”) 52:28 – Growth, discomfort, and what nature teaches us about trust 53:05 – How to experience Walk Sublime for yourself Guest Bio – Mel McLaren Founder of Walk Sublime; Walking with Horses in Nature™ in the Adelaide Hills, Mel guides transformative, heart-led walking experiences that bring humans and horses together in nature.

Ep 37 | How hypnosis works when willpower doesn't
Most people think hypnosis means losing control - or clucking like a chicken on stage. But hypnosis is actually one of the most natural states your brain already cycles through every day. And when you learn to use that state intentionally, it becomes a powerful tool for rewiring the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne clear up the myths, explain what’s really happening in your brain during hypnosis, and show why it works when sheer willpower doesn’t. You’ll learn: ✅ Why hypnosis is a natural trance state your brain already enters daily ✅ What’s happening in your brainwaves during hypnosis (and why it matters) ✅ Why “I can’t be hypnotised” is almost always a myth ✅ How secondary gain keeps people unconsciously holding onto problems ✅ The difference between direct suggestion hypnosis and Ericksonian hypnosis ✅ Real examples of how hypnosis helps with stress, confidence, habits, and pain Whether you’ve doubted hypnosis, tried to “willpower” your way through change, or just want to make your brain your greatest ally, this episode will change the way you think about transformation. Timestamps 00:00 – Teaser: Hypnosis beyond the stage-show myths 01:05 – What hypnosis actually is (and isn’t) 05:20 – “I can’t be hypnotised” – myth busted 09:15 – Chronic pain, disbelief, and the real question: why refuse? 14:00 – Secondary gain and the hidden benefits of staying stuck 18:00 – Why willpower alone rarely works 20:30 – The neuroscience of Alpha + Theta brainwaves 23:15 – Hypnosis in real life: stress, confidence, habits, inner critic 27:40 – Direct suggestion vs. Ericksonian hypnosis 32:00 – Recap and closing thoughts Links and resources Book a Connection Call with Rebekah Find out how private coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us https://moonbeammonday.com.au https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Check out these FREE resources https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources Join us every fortnight Tune in every fortnight as we delve into fascinating topics about the mind and the brain, because when you change your mind, you change your life.

Ep 36 | Is other people's energy draining you? Here's how to stay grounded.
We’ve all had those days where we walk into a room and instantly feel the heaviness, even before anyone speaks. Or where we leave a conversation feeling inexplicably flat or anxious. So what’s really happening when you feel other people’s energy — and how do you stop it from draining you? In this heartfelt and practical conversation, Rebekah sits down with Irene McGrath, energy wellness specialist, Reiki master, and founder of Free Your Spirit, to explore how unseen energy affects our mood, health, and sense of balance — and what we can do to protect and restore it. Irene has a rare gift for making the mystical feel grounded and accessible. She explains what Reiki actually is (in plain English), how energy gets “stuck,” and why protecting your own energy doesn’t make you cold or uncaring... it actually helps you bring more compassion, calm, and clarity to the people around you. In this episode, you’ll learn: ✅ What energy really means in practical, everyday terms ✅ How to tell when your energy is being drained — and by whom (or what) ✅ A simple *morning protection ritual* to keep your energy strong all day ✅ The truth about being an *empath* versus simply being energy-aware ✅ How visualisation and colour can rewire your mood and mindset in minutes ✅ Why clearing stuck emotional energy is key to both mental and physical wellbeing ✅ What to expect in an energy-healing session — and why it’s not as “woo-woo” as you might think About our guest Irene McGrath is an award-winning energy wellness specialist and Reiki Master Teacher based in South Australia. Through her practice Free Your Spirit, she helps clients release emotional blocks, restore balance, and reconnect to their highest potential. Her nurturing, down-to-earth approach has guided hundreds of people to feel lighter, clearer, and more empowered in their lives.

Ep 35 | Are your friends helping you heal or keeping you stuck?
Some conversations leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and stronger. Others feel like you’re lugging around a backpack of bricks. What’s the difference? In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne unpack the hidden cost of retelling your problems, why well-meaning advice often keeps you stuck, and how to choose support that strengthens you instead of suffocating you. You’ll learn: ✅ Why your brain doesn’t distinguish between experiencing pain and retelling it ✅ How venting circles wire your brain for more of the same problems ✅ The difference between friends, accountability partners, and coaching - and when to choose each ✅ Why advice often reflects someone else’s values, not what’s best for you ✅ How coaching recalibrates your “mental operating system” for real transformation Whether you’re caught in old stories or ready to move from good to great, this episode will help you see support in a whole new light.

Ep 34 | Exhausted isn't normal: Why you can't switch off, and the surprising fix
We’ve all been told that sleep is important. But if you’ve ever crawled into bed exhausted, only to lie awake with your mind racing, you’ll know it’s not that simple. In this episode, we’re talking about the science and soul of sleep, and why “tired but wired” has become the modern default. I’m joined by holistic sleep scientist Dr. Sabine Christelli, who blends neuroscience, breathwork, and ancient wisdom to help people finally rest deeply and wake up restored. We explore why so many smart, capable women struggle to switch off at night, the surprising habits that might be sabotaging your rest, and how small, practical changes can reset more than just your sleep cycle. This isn’t about chasing perfection or adding another task to your to-do list. It’s about reclaiming the kind of rest that makes everything in life feel lighter. What you’ll hear: ✅ Why exhaustion has become normalised, and why it shouldn’t be ✅ The hidden connection between stress, overthinking, and poor sleep ✅ Micro-habits that can transform your nights (without overhauling your life) ✅ How to reframe sleep as a powerful tool for clarity, resilience, and joy ✅ A refreshing take on the “9 Pillars of Sleep” and which one to start with today Whether you’re waking up foggy, struggling to switch off, or just curious about how to feel more human again, this episode will give you practical, science-backed ways to rest well and live well.

Transcript – Ep 34 – Why you can’t switch off… The sleep fix you’ve been missing. 00:00:02 Rebekah Hello and welcome back to The Brain Changers, the podcast where we explore what it really takes to change your life from the inside out by rewiring your thoughts, beliefs and behaviours. Now today I'm joined by someone who brings together science spirit and a whole lot of wisdom. 00:00:23 Rebekah When it comes to sleep and well being Doctor Sabine Cristelli began her career as a molecular immunologist in Germany, researching so-called junk DNA. I'm gonna probably ask you more about that. 00:00:37 Rebekah But her curiosity and compassion didn't stop there. Over the years, she's woven together science, sleep, medicine. 00:00:46 Rebekah Breath work, yoga, NLP, hypnosis and probably more into a truly holistic approach to health. 00:00:54 Rebekah She now calls herself a holistic sleep scientist, and for good reason. Her PhD research explores sleep at the deepest level, and she combines that with practical tools that help people move from burnout and brain fog into clarity, energy and ease. Now, Sabine. 00:01:14 Rebekah The leaves sleep isn't just about closing your eyes. 00:01:18 Rebekah It's a bridge between science and spirit, and when we cross it well, everything else in life becomes lighter, which just sounds wonderful. Savannah's worked with everyone from high performing athletes to busy professionals and her nine pillars of sleep are helping people all over the world reclaim their rest. 00:01:38 Rebekah Their resilience and their joy. Sabine, I'm so delighted to have you with us here today. Thank you so much for joining. 00:01:45 Sabine Me. Thank you for having me and allowing me to talk about my passion. I really appreciate it a lot. 00:01:51 Rebekah You're welcome. I'm excited about this as I was just saying to you before we. 00:01:56 Rebekah Started I wanted to kind of let people know why it was that I felt it was so important that we have you on the Brain Changes podcast. You've had so many incredible experiences. You've got so much behind you just having a read on your website. But one of the reasons I really wanted to invite you here today was because a lot of the. 00:02:16 Rebekah People that I work with, sleep is something that comes up right at the beginning of our our coaching. I coach, you know, mums, dads, professionals, people in corporate people with their own businesses, all sorts of people and. 00:02:34 Rebekah A lot of them are world class themselves to begin with, as over thinkers, they're struggling with anxiety. They really struggle to shut their minds down at night and get restful sleep. You know, even myself. I know when I've got lots going on and I'm perhaps feeling a little bit stressed. My sleep is disrupted. And so I thought well. 00:02:55 Rebekah Let's get you on here and have a chat about what is actually going on, and perhaps some of the tools that you can share with us today on how to improve our sleep and the difference it's going to make. 00:03:07 Sabine I would love to do all that and I. 00:03:09 Sabine Really appreciate, I just need to say. 00:03:11 Sabine From the start that. 00:03:13 Sabine Yes, I have researched a lot and studied a lot, but I never actually got to be a doctor so to speak, table, right. And what happened is that before I decided to continue with the research, I actually decided I want to work and give my services to human beings rather than be in the corridors at university. 00:03:19 Sabine That's just. 00:03:20 Rebekah Uh-huh. 00:03:33 Sabine Keeping on studying and spending all my life, it's very draining after a while and because I love helping people and I got out there, it my heart is in it. That's the whole reason I got my degrees. The whole reason I studied anything. 00:03:46 Sabine Why are humans suffering? How can we help? What can we, you know, teach each other so that we can thrive and really enjoy life? So I actually decided not to complete that and instead take the knowledge just before the ending of it and bring it out into the world rather than hide it at university. So just thought I would mention that small. 00:04:05 Yet. 00:04:05 Rebekah Thank you for the clarification. 00:04:07 Rebekah And I I love that it's. 00:04:09 Rebekah I remember actually going through to get my qualifications for coaching and what have you and there were some people in there that were. 00:04:17 Rebekah So. 00:04:19 Rebekah Fixated on the qualifications that they would get and what if somebody asks me what what my polls are and I sort of got to the point, you know. 00:04:29 Rebekah I'm proud of the qualifications that I have. 00:04:32 Rebekah But. 00:04:33 Rebekah It doesn't determine whether I can help someone or not. A lot of what I help people with in terms of coaching is the experience that I've had with, you know, in the 30 years or perhaps 25 years of work that came before that. So, yeah, I I admire you for making that decision and just putting yourself out there in the world. 00:04:53 Rebekah Help people. It's been perhaps just catch us up on how you ended up where you are now and being this holistic sleep. 00:05:01 OK. 00:05:02 Sabine Yes. OK. So it's been a long journey. I am. I've been around. 00:05:07 Sabine For a while. 00:05:08 Sabine In a sense, like I said just now, what happened is I did my my, my high school and it was what am I gonna do with my life now? What am I going to study? And really my passion was breast cancer and cancer overall. I could just see so many people had it. 00:05:23 Sabine So in a nutshell, I went and did a science degree and I wanted to understand the immunology, the biochemistry, how the organs function, and once I finished that and did my honour. 00:05:33 Sabine Degree I realised that I barely scraped the surface and there's all the other aspects like nutrition and mindset and lifestyle and relationships and of course so much more that I now can articulate. So I had to continue and study all those things in the form of you know, holistic therapy. 00:05:53 Sabine Neurolinguistic programming your passion. We're all programmed. And how we use it and how we get into it, how we self hypnotise and at one point I was giving talks on how to breathe, cause I'm a yoga teacher. Can help cooperations with productivity, how it can help you to to be more effective and function. 00:06:12 Sabine And the place where I gave that seminar on happened to be a university where they were also studying sleep. Being curious as I am, I said, wow, have you studied how breathing affects, you know, sleep? And I said, yeah, sort of. But not really. But why don't we have a chat? So Long story short. 00:06:32 Sabine I had a chat and talked to professor and it took a year to get that all sorted. Everything so slow. Sometimes when I started. Yeah that PhD and when delve super Deep did the research, went into all aspects because as a PhD student you actually have to understand the entire field. 00:06:52 Sabine And then justified that small project which was breathing and sleep, which was my my theme. So I came to be that. And of course I have been a mum and I am a mum. I know what sleep deprivation is like. I have got a father who had sleep deprivation and has Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home. I have seen how people change when they don't get enough sleep. 00:07:15 Sabine And how they ignore it thinking? 00:07:17 Sabine You know a a big, stimulating drink in the morning or a wine at night will help you to unwind and how society. Since COVID really has really speed up their lack of ability to sleep through anxiety and and and scrolling and and all those other habits. So I feel I'm in the right position to actually combine. 00:07:37 Sabine Holy. 00:07:38 Sabine Basically, everything that contributes to healthy sleep, which includes what you do, which is the NLP, the hypnosis and of the functions in the brain and nervous system. So that's why I am here. 00:07:50 Rebekah Ohh. Wonderful. Yeah, what a journey you've had and that that's exactly. And I love what you're just saying there. And I guess this goes to. 00:07:58 Rebekah You know, you talk about being a holistic sleep scientist because. 00:08:02 Rebekah It's. 00:08:03 Rebekah Being well, living well is not just about one thing. Yes, there's certain pillars. We all know that good nutrition is important. We know that moving our body is important. We know that sleep is important. We know that good mindset is important. But. 00:08:19 Rebekah You can't sort of look at three of them and go, oh, well, I'm ticking 3 out of four, so I'm OK. I mean, you might be doing. 00:08:25 Rebekah OK. 00:08:26 Rebekah But what? What is OK and what is exceptional that that waking up exhausted in the morning I think is very, very common for a lot of people. 00:08:34 Rebekah I I am very familiar with that, not so much now in my what I probably call my previous life and honestly still guilty of the stimulating dream. When you said that my ears pricked up because I feel like I'm one of those people that I get pretty good sleep my knee nutrition. 00:08:54 Rebekah It is good. 00:08:55 Rebekah I I move my body, but I need that stimulating drink in the morning. What's going on? When we feel that we need that? 00:09:02 Rebekah The thing. 00:09:03 Sabine What's going on depends on each person, but in general it means that maybe the sleep was not as deep as you thought it was, so a lot of people think that, well, I I went to sleep at 11 and I woke up at 7:00. And yeah, I'm feeling reasonably good. And then there's this lethargy, maybe after breakfast. 00:09:22 Sabine Or when you want to have more energy. So a couple of things, it could be or maybe more than that, but one is your actual sleep quality. The quantity might have been enough, but the depth of. 00:09:32 Sabine Your sleep was not as deep as it could be because you went to bed with overstimulation through perhaps that coffee or the green tea in my case, or perhaps looking at an email a little bit later than maybe was a good idea. Or your bank account, or. Or having a chat with someone who's a little bit stressful and it kind of retriggers. 00:09:53 Sabine The nervous system so that when it's excited and there's more cortisol release biologically, we don't go so deep after that. It's just how it is. So that's mainly what it is. The other thing can be of course that. 00:10:07 Sabine You are not getting the right nutrients or you have a different peak of activity. Maybe you're more productive in the afternoon. Some people are more productive in the morning. That's the different chronotype. So it could be that as well. Maybe you need morning sunlight. Some people get up and don't get that, and that really wakes you up and gets you into the day. 00:10:28 Sabine Activates your circadian so, and it could also be for some people. They do eat a really sweet and and not that you would, but you know wheat, pigs with sugar on top would really cause a slump and it's not energising. 00:10:41 Sabine So things like that can also contribute. There's so many little things, but does any of that kind of ring any bells or so? 00:10:51 Rebekah Yeah. Yeah. Well, it it's certainly for me, there's there's lots of different things that go. OK, you know, you could try that or could try changing that, you know, the morning sunshine, that type of thing. 00:11:02 Rebekah So I guess what I'm hearing here is there is no one size fits all. 00:11:05 Rebekah When it comes. 00:11:05 Rebekah To sleep. Anything, really. But even with sleep, there are certainly things that we can all try, but to get things. 00:11:17 Rebekah Just right for us, we need to tweak little things and I think that's what we talk about here at the brain changes. Not everybody is looking for a massive life transformation. You know, a lot of things are good in our life, but we're looking for those little tweaks, those little one percenters that are going to make a big difference. 00:11:37 At. 00:11:38 Rebekah You talked about that spike in. 00:11:41 Rebekah Cortisol in the evening if we've had a perhaps a conversation with a friend who's a bit stressed or we've read that email or looked at our bank account. All of those things. And I know you're a breath work facilitator and this is something I talk a lot with my talk about a lot with my clients. How can breathing even a simple breathwork exercise before bed? 00:12:03 It. 00:12:03 Sabine Really help us. Huge, huge, huge. That's one of the best tools you have for free available. So having taught Kundalini for 5th Kundalini yoga for nearly 15 years, the key is the breath. The key is your ability to navigate your nervous system and calm it down but also activate it when you want to. 00:12:23 Sabine So right now, even while you're listening to this podcast. 00:12:27 Sabine First of all, you will calm your nervous system if you breathe lower into the body, it's very stress stress response, like when you're in the upper body. So maybe placing your hands on your belly and feeling that as you inhale through the nose that your belly expands is a big reset. So inhale. Let your belly expand through the nose. Exhale through the nose. 00:12:47 Sabine Draw the belly back towards the spine and take as long as you can. If you can take another few seconds and hold the breath out and then inhale for count of five. 00:12:57 Sabine 12345 keep it in the belly. Hold it shortly, except for count of seven. One slow 234567. Inhale 123. 00:13:17 Sabine 4 Hold it briefly. Stay soft in your body and excel 123-4567 so the longer exhale will activate the relaxation response, healing and repair. 00:13:34 Sabine And if you are having a longer inhale than the exhale, that kind of stress breathing, you will activate the other side which is preparing you to deal with problems like running away from a bull or a tiger or whatever the metaphor could be, which could be the email or the conversation, or maybe watching the news. 00:13:54 Sabine Or even being exposed to too much bright light so that breath work right now, exhaling longer than the inhale. 00:14:02 Sabine And allowing yourself to feel the belly is very grounding for the nervous system, and it will have an instant effect. It can be a reset at lunchtime in the morning and before bed or in the shower. Whatever you do, no excuses. We can do this. 00:14:17 Rebekah Exactly. No excuses. And you know, I just did those few breaths while you were counting. And thank you. 00:14:22 Rebekah Notice even for those actually watching this as a video as opposed to what listening to the podcast, I could see your body moving just with the breath there. And I I was following it along myself and even just with those few, I have felt my. 00:14:36 Rebekah Self calm. 00:14:38 Sabine Straight off. 00:14:38 Because I. 00:14:39 Rebekah I get excited when I interview people with, you know, for the podcast, but even that I just noticed that I am calmer than when we first dialled in. So like you say, there's no excuses that took 30 seconds. Maybe if that, you know, wasn't even in a quiet space. 00:14:58 Rebekah You don't have to be alone. You don't have to be in a. 00:15:02 Rebekah You know, a yogic pose or anything like that. Like you say, you could even do it in the shower. You can calm your breathing down while you're driving in the car. If you're finding yourself getting really worked up with. 00:15:13 Sabine Traffic. You're in the dishes. Anything you do anything and you will actually have a higher intelligence. And I like to highlight that to people that are very intelligent. 00:15:23 Sabine And intellectual as you actually tap into a higher intelligence, that's much more create. 00:15:28 Sabine Give an open minded to spontaneous innovations and solutions that you can't see when you are breathing shallow literally because you are when you're breathing shallow looking for problems. The body is designed in the fight or flight to do a scan for issues and wildlife is difficult and you're gonna get trapped in that. 00:15:48 Sabine Versus if you're an entrepreneur or a mother that has to deal with lots of things, or a father anything like that in life. If you breathe slow. 00:15:57 Sabine Your ego self might say ohh I'm gonna slow down and go to sleep if you could. But you're not going to. You're actually gonna feel grounded, safe. And the higher intelligence inside you will be activated. So keep that in mind. Great stuff. 00:16:12 Rebekah So many things to learn about this. I'm I'm absolutely fascinated by. 00:16:17 Rebekah What the breath can do for us and like you said at the very beginning, it is. 00:16:20 Rebekah Free. We can do this anywhere, anytime. Of course. We're focusing on sleep today and this is this is one of those surefire things and I. 00:16:31 Rebekah Know this from from. 00:16:32 Rebekah Personal experience as well. If you are finding it difficult to go to sleep to have that restful sleep to even feel good when you wake up the next morning. 00:16:43 Rebekah And this is one of the first things that you can do that's easy to do. It's free. It doesn't take a lot of time. It's been I I know that in a a previous podcast you've done, you shared that around 45%. I think of it is 45% of people...

Ep 33 | Why your brain feels full… and what your kitchen bench has to do with it.
We’ve all heard someone say your physical environment is a reflection of what’s going on in your mind. But is that actually true? In this episode, we’re talking clutter - mental, physical, digital - and the invisible load it places on your brain.

This isn’t about turning your house into a minimalist showroom or labelling everything in sight. It’s about getting honest with yourself about what’s actually helping… and what’s just adding noise. What you’ll hear: ✅ Why ‘doing it all’ is exhausting, and what to do instead ✅ How clutter fuels decision fatigue (even when you don’t notice it) ✅ The 1% rule that can help you feel more in control, starting today ✅ A refreshing take on getting kids and partners involved (without the nagging) ✅ What changes when you stop carrying the whole mental load alone Whether your kitchen bench is spotless or covered in mail, this episode will have you thinking differently about what’s taking up space, not just on your shelves, but in your head.

Ep 30 | Why they didn't hear what you meant to say
Have you ever left a conversation thinking, “How did we end up here?” You were clear. You had good intentions. But somehow… the other person didn’t 'get it'. In this episode of The Brain Changers Podcast, we explore one of the biggest barriers to meaningful communication - the brain’s filtering system. What you’ll learn from this episode: ✅ Why people don’t always hear what you actually said ✅ How your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS) decides what’s important ✅ The role of Representational Systems (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, auditory digital) in how we speak and process ✅ How to build real rapport by tuning in to someone’s sensory language ✅ A simple exercise to instantly improve connection and reduce miscommunication Whether you’re navigating a tricky conversation at home, in the office, or with a client, this episode will help you understand the invisible filters that scramble messages, and how to speak in a way that truly lands.

Ep 29 | The doubt decoder: Turning imposter feelings into fuel with Mrs Kim Allen
What if imposter syndrome wasn’t a flaw to fix… but a sign you’re about to grow? In this powerful episode, Rebekah sits down with construction industry powerhouse and keynote speaker Mrs Kim Allen to unpack how imposter syndrome shows up in unexpected places, and what to do when it does. From high-vis job sites to high-pressure government meetings, Kim shares how she shifted from self-doubt to self-leadership in an industry that wasn't built with women in mind. They discuss identity, burnout, authenticity, and why changing your outer world starts by tuning in to your inner one.

Ep 28 | Mind Your Language: The Brain Hack You’re Not Using (Yet) to Change How You Think and Feel.
In this episode of The Brain Changers™, we explore one of the most underrated forces shaping your reality... your language. Not just what you say out loud, but the words you whisper to yourself on repeat. Whether you realise it or not, your inner dialogue is wiring your brain for how you experience the world. We unpack how your Reticular Activating System filters your reality based on your language, why phrases like “I’m bad with time management” keep you stuck, and how small, intentional shifts in self-talk can change everything. You’ll hear a powerful exercise we shared in our latest Mind Masters Collective Masterclass, where we help someone gently reframe their internal language using a simple but effective technique we call “moving up the ladder”. If you’ve ever wanted to feel more calm, clear and confident in life, start with your words. What you'll learn from this episode: ✅ Why your self-talk becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy ✅ How the brain’s RAS makes your words feel like facts ✅ A simple technique to reframe limiting self-talk, one step at a time ✅ How to move from “I can’t” to “I’m becoming” ✅ The neuroscience behind why small internal shifts = big changes And… we drop a little hint about something exciting we’ve been working on behind the scenes... something designed to help you master these tools and create lasting transformation.

Ep 27 | How are your words damaging your identity? Rethinking the labels we live by, and how to choose words that actually serve you.
Welcome to Episode 27 of The Brain Changers™. In this episode, Rebekah is joined by heart-led changemaker and transformation specialist Maryanne Katsidis for a conversation that will challenge the way you speak about yourself - and possibly change the way you see yourself too. From “I’m an empath” to “I have anxiety,” many of us use labels that seem helpful on the surface but actually keep us stuck, depleted, and disconnected. Rebekah shares how she used to believe she was highly sensitive, when in reality, she was just emotionally burnt out. Together, they unpack why the language we use about ourselves matters so much, and how to shift it into something more empowering. Expect soulful stories, practical strategies, and a refreshing take on identity, boundaries, and emotional self-leadership. This episode is your gentle (but honest) invitation to ditch the labels and get curious about who you really are. What you’ll learn from this episode: ✅ Why labels like “anxious” or “empath” might be masking depletion, grief, or lack of boundaries ✅ How your self-talk and identity language impacts emotional well-being and growth ✅ The hidden damage caused by over-identifying with diagnoses or traits ✅ A simple daily check-in practice to reconnect with yourself (no fluff, just honesty) ✅ How to rewrite your internal script with compassion and clarity Timestamps00:00 – Welcome and intro to the topic 03:15 – The problem with labels: Rebekah’s ‘empath’ story 08:40 – Why we cling to identity words (and why they’re not helping) 15:30 – Labels vs. clarity: What’s underneath your ‘title’? 22:45 – Disconnection, identity, and the cost of lazy language 30:10 – How to tell if you’re depleted, not deeply sensitive 37:00 – The emotional toll of not processing your feelings 42:00 – The power of inner child check-ins (and why they work) 52:20 – How to begin rewriting your identity through language 58:00 – Final takeaways and practical next steps Links and Resources Join the Mind Masters Collective https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/mind-masters– Download our free 12-minute body-scan meditation to help you unwind: https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources/reduce-stress-hypnotic-audio Book a Connection Call with Rebekah https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us Website: https://moonbeammonday.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Connect with Maryanne Katsidis Website: https://www.maryannekatsidis.com Instagram: @maryannekatsidis Listen to her podcast, 'The Heart-Led Changemakers Podcast', wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Ep 26 | Could this one nerve be the real reason you’re tired, bloated and burnt out?
Episode 25: Could this one nerve be the real reason you’re tired, bloated and burnt out? In this week’s episode, I'm joined by naturopath, gut health expert, (and record-holding powerlifter!!) Emily Maddern, founder of Praxis Blooming in West Lakes, South Australia, for a powerful conversation about the real impact of the vagus nerve and how our mind and body are far more connected than we’ve been led to believe. You’ll learn why symptoms like bloating, fatigue, poor sleep, and emotional flatness aren’t always just “normal” or signs of getting older, and how they might actually be subtle signals from a dysregulated nervous system. If you've been ticking all the boxes with your health but still feel off, this episode might hold the answers.

Ep 25 | Why You Can’t Decide: The Science of Intuition
Ever found yourself torn between your head saying one thing, your heart whispering another, and your gut just… churning? Yep... us too! In this episode of The Brain Changers podcast, we’re diving into the science behind indecision and showing you how to align the three key centres of intelligence in your body: your head, heart, and gut. This isn’t just a metaphor — it’s neuroscience. You have three distinct neural networks, each with its own form of wisdom. When they’re out of sync, decision-making feels like walking through fog. But when they’re aligned? That’s when clarity, calm and confidence kick in. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What it really means to have “three brains” (and yes, it’s backed by science) ✅ How your gut, heart and head influence decisions in different ways ✅ Signs your internal signals are misaligned — and how to spot them ✅ A simple, powerful process to tune in and reconnect with each one ✅ Why “overthinking” is often a case of under-feeling or under-trusting Whether you're stuck on a big life choice or just want to stop second-guessing yourself every five minutes, this episode is your go-to guide for making decisions that feel right in every way.

Ep 21 | How to release your urge to control (and why it's the change you need)
Ever had one of those days where nothing goes to plan... your to-do list is set, every detail is sorted, and then… BAM, life throws a curveball? If you love having control over things, those moments can feel frustrating. But what if the key to real freedom isn’t in controlling every detail, but in letting go? In this episode of The Brain Changers™, we’re exploring why our brains crave control, how that can actually keep us stuck, and the surprising benefits of embracing uncertainty. We’ll show you how to shift from rigid control to real flow, so you can navigate life with more ease, trust, and resilience. What you’ll learn in this episode: ✅ Why our brains naturally resist uncertainty, and how to work with that, not against it ✅ The hidden costs of trying to control everything in your life ✅ How letting go of control actually gives you more power (not less!) ✅ A mindset shift that helps you trust yourself no matter what happens ✅ Practical ways to move from stress and rigidity to flow and freedom Key takeaways: 🔹 Control is an illusion. No matter how much we try, we can’t control everything, so learning to embrace uncertainty is a superpower. 🔹 Your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. Understanding this can help you challenge those thoughts and reframe your mindset. 🔹 Rigidity leads to stress, but flexibility leads to resilience. The more we practise letting go, the more in control we actually feel. 🔹 Trust is the antidote to control. When you trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way, you don’t need to micromanage every detail.

Ep 20 | Seen, not hidden: Overcoming fear and embracing confidence in front of the camera
Do you avoid the camera like it’s out to get you? Feel self-conscious the moment someone says, “Say cheese”? Or maybe you’ve put off updating your headshots because you’re waiting to lose weight, get the perfect outfit, or just feel ready? You’re not alone. In Episode 20 of The Brain Changers Podcast, Rebekah sits down with the brilliant Grier Neilson, founder of Bohemian Ekko Creative, to tackle one of the biggest mindset blocks holding people back - fear of being seen. Whether it's avoiding photos, dreading video calls, or struggling to show up confidently on social media, many of us feel exposed in front of a lens. But what if being seen could actually be empowering? With over 30 years of experience in photography, makeup, film, and editorial, Grier has worked with global icons like Michael Bublé, Janet Jackson, and Taylor Swift - but her true passion lies in helping everyday women feel comfortable, confident, and authentically themselves in photos. In this conversation, she shares how self-image, past experiences, and subconscious fears impact how we see ourselves - and how to shift that perspective so we can step into visibility with confidence. Grier also opens up about her powerful photography projects, Feathered and Flock 50, which celebrate women in their raw, authentic beauty, helping them break through fear, embrace their stories, and leave behind a legacy of self-acceptance. If you’re ready to finally stop hiding, this episode is for you. Topics discussed: The psychology behind camera shyness, and why it’s not about the camera. How perfectionism and self-doubt sabotage your ability to be seen. How stepping in front of the camera can be a transformative, healing experience. Why “I’ll do it when I lose weight” is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. Practical confidence-building strategies for photos, videos, and even Zoom calls.

Plus, we’ll drop a quick language hack that can transform the way you approach your to-do list. Ready to stop feeling guilty and start getting things done? Let’s go.
