  • The Importance Of Agency | Ep 280
    Jun 21 2026

    Agency is your belief in your ability to influence your life.

    Effort + Time = Results.

    I’ve been reflecting on this a lot lately, as I’m in the midst of some major life changes. I recently received my Graduate Diploma of Counselling and I am updating my website, books, and offerings to reflect this next chapter. I’m also continuing to show up each day, facilitating daily guided meditations on Insight Timer and working to expand my reach and impact.

    On the personal front, I’m training Jiu Jitsu more than ever, confronting the excuses that once held me back from competing, and proving to myself that growth comes from action, not intention.

    Positive change rarely happens overnight. It takes, consistent actions repeated daily. The key is believing that your actions matter and then acting accordingly.

    I encourage you to believe in your ability to create positive change in your own life, and then to ACT!

    In this session, I also introduce 'The Flame & The Void' meditation from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series. You can listen to a guided version here, with separate recordings available for both adults and children.

    Resources Mentioned:
    The Flame & The Void guided meditation

  • The Body Keeps The Score | Ep 279
    Apr 8 2026

    This episode begins with a reading of the poem ‘a broken mirror’s gaze’.

    From there we discus how the body keeps the score; life will cause us to suffer. If we do not process these trauma’s (because we don’t know how or it isn’t possible) we hold onto it. We hold onto it in the form of chronic pain, illness, injury, and distorted thinking patterns.

    There is a way to release. Writing therapy. Intuitive Guidance. Talk Therapies. Along with countless more processors.

    In this episode I share a bit of what I am processing, and offer you some guidance on how to release and reintegrate.

    The three steps mentioned: Awareness. Acceptance. Action.

  • Cultivate A Daily Meditation Practice | Ep 278
    Feb 26 2026

    In this episode I share the first session of the 30 Day course ‘Cultivate A Daily Meditation Practice’.

    It introduces the basic practice of mindfulness meditation as well as highlights the importance of continuing your practice ongoing; it is okay to miss a day of practice, provided you get back on board and continue the next day. In this way you will guarantee yourself success.

    You can access the entire course for free inside the Art Of Self-Connection community.

    Bonus!
    For the month of March (2026) we are offering daily live meditation sessions, 7am AEST.

    See you there.
