  • Awakening is Not for the Faint-Hearted: Megan Dalla Camina

    Awakening is Not for the Faint-Hearted: Megan Dalla Camina
    May 1 2026
    This might sound familiar. Your life looks great from the outside - a successful career, a family you love, all the signs that you’re on track. And yet…there’s a quiet ripple of discontent. It’s subtle at first. A sense of discomfort. Restlessness. Agitation. Maybe even resentment. Until one day, it becomes impossible to ignore. That’s how it unfolded for Megan Dalla Camina.A women’s leadership expert, and bestselling author, Megan spent 18 years at the top of her game in her corporate career —often the only woman in the room—until she reached a breaking point and realised she couldn’t continue living a life that no longer felt true.What followed was a profound return to herself.A self-described “forever seeker”, Megan has empowered tens of thousands of women to reconnect with their feminine energy, and their truth.In this episode of My Spiritual Side, she shares why awakening isn’t for the faint hearted —it’s a heroine’s journey—and how it begins with one powerful question:Is this what I want for my life? In this episode, Megan shares:Her daily spiritual practice including meditation, pranayama, reflection, mantras, japa practice and kriya breathwork.The concept of spiritual lineage—being connected to teachings passed down through generations of masters.Why she describes herself as a “forever seeker,” deeply committed to her spiritual path while building a high-profile career in leadership and women’s empowerment.The life events that changed her trajectory - including chronic fatigue syndrome and a car accident in her 20s- which forced a profound redirection.Her successful 18-year corporate career, often as the only woman in the room, which caused her to disconnection from herself.How burnout at 36 became a wake-up call—a “blinding light” that revealed her way of living and working was no longer sustainable.Why transformation rarely begins with clarity or awakening, but instead with discomfort, resentment, and a quiet sense that something needs to change.The cost of living out of alignment; Many women live a “double life” disconnected from their truth. As Megan says: “It costs us our soul.”The first step towards change is radical honesty, asking, “Is this what I want for my life?” and creating space to really tune into the answer.Why awakening “is not for the faint-hearted” - it’s a heroine’s journey shaped by small, aligned actions rather than dramatic, life-altering leaps.The return to self is about reconnecting with our inner wisdom and feminine energy - not by rejecting ambition, but by integrating both feminine and masculine energy.The importance of tuning into the body, intuition, and curiosity as it guides us back to alignment. Key Quotes“I’m a forever seeker and a forever student.”“Success without soul eventually feels like betrayal.”“The first point isn’t awakening. It’s the discomfort - the restlessness, the agitation, the resentment. Then we get the crack, and then we start to see the light.”“The first step is to ask yourself an honest question: ‘Is this what I want for my life?’ And then listen - really listen - to the answer in your body.”“This is a heroine’s journey. It’s not for the faint-hearted. I think we do a disservice to women when we present the Instagram version of awakening. For most women, it doesn’t look like that”. Spiritual practice: meditation, pranayama, reflection, mantras, japa practice and kriya breathwork.

  • Coming Out of The Spiritual Closet: Chezzi Denyer

    Coming Out of The Spiritual Closet: Chezzi Denyer
    Apr 16 2026
    As a child, Chezzi Denyer liked wandering through graveyards. A true free spirit herself, she thought nothing of communing with spirits, assuming that’s how it was for everyone. Until she got the message loud and clear that it most certainly wasn’t — From teachers, to the nuns at school, to her own mother - who feared Chezzi might go the way of her maternal ancestors once labelled “mad” but were more likely deeply intuitive. In an attempt to belong, Chezzi shed her “spiritual skin,” as she describes it.Until a series of profound experiences—including a past life encounter—reawakened the psychic abilities she’d long suppressed - guiding her back to her true self…Once a news journalist grounded in facts, Chezzi is now a certified medium, embracing a gift she believes has been passed down through generations.In this episode of My Spiritual Side, Chezzi shares how she’s leaning into her mystical self, the power of past life healing, how to recognise signs from beyond, and the freedom that comes from fully embracing your ‘weirdness’.In this episode, Chezzi shares: * The morning meditation she tries to do to keep her grounded - but why it’s also OK to miss it when life gets busy* Why she felt forced to “shed her spiritual skin” as a child - disconnecting from her intuition in order to feel safe and accepted* The shame she carried around her intuitive gifts* The moment she realised her grandmother and great-grandmother were likely mediums, despite being misunderstood in their time* How a series of events led her back to her authentic self - and why her book feels like a “coming out”* How studying mediumship felt like “the shackles coming off”* Her belief that intuitive and psychic abilities are inherent in all of us* How spirits communicate with us - and an introduction to the different “clairs”* The power of past life healing and regression therapy* How to ask for signs from the universe* The freedom in embracing your “weirdness” Key Quotes[Re studying mediumship]: “It was like light bulbs going off. Every time I leaned into it I felt this like the shackles coming off. I felt like I was finding myself and I felt this huge relief and newfound confidence.. It changed everything”. “I was far from woo woo. I didn't even have a crystal. I was the least woo-woo person around”. “..It is OK to talk about this stuff. It is OK if you it was shameful, if you had experiences you couldn't explain. Hey, I'll be the weirdo. I'll put myself out there and you guys can say, ‘We're with her. She's the queen weirdo’”. “When we die, we don't disappear”. “Look out for signs and talk to your past loved ones. They can hear you. Practice talking to them, ask them for a sign”.

She’s also the woman whose determination saw her outlast a fierce field to win Australian Survivor in 2019.But there’s far more to Pia than the bubbly, vivacious face she shows the world. A self-described “seeker,” she learned to read auras with her Italian aunts, embraced yoga as a teenager, and has been practicing meditation for as long as she can remember.Today, Pia is on a spiritual quest to connect with her true self - alongside her “heart tribe”, a trio of friends guiding each other along the way.In this episode of My Spiritual Side, Pia shares:Why giving up auditioning at 50 has liberated her, how parenting became her greatest spiritual lesson, and how leaning to surrender on Survivor is an art that will stay with her for life. In this episode, Pia shares:* Her morning ritual: self guided meditation and visualisation* How her Italian heritage opened her mind to reading auras and ‘other ways of thinking’* How practising yoga since she was a teenager has transformed her life* Exploring spirituality with friends, her ‘heart tribe’* Her acting career as a conduit to personal growth and compassion* Learning to balance her ego and cope with rejection* Why she retired from auditioning at 50 and how that has freed her* How competing on Survivor became a spiritual quest* How learning to surrender changed her life: “If something comes up, I go ‘Stop, pause, surrender, it’ll be what it'll be’”* Parenting as a spiritual practice* Practicing gratitude in everyday life Key Quotes“My role on this earth is to make sure that I'm putting out as much good as I can”. “At this part of my life, who I am is more important than the jobs I get”. The art of surrender: “What if I just surrender? What's the worst thing that can happen?” “Whatever's going to face me is going to face me regardless of how I think. I can only do what I can do within my control”. “When I'm feeling out of control, when I'm feeling like my mind's going too fast, I just stop and breathe and say the word ‘surrender’ to myself, let it go. What's the worst thing that can happen?” “Parenting is the thing that has really given me the most spiritual growth”. Key Mantra: “Be the meditation”. Spiritual practice: Yoga. “I can't imagine my life without yoga. It's the thing that saved me, changed me and helps me grow still” Books:Finding My Bella Vita: A story of family, food, fame and working out who you areby Pia Miranda The Yamas & Niyamas: Exploring Yoga's Ethical Practice by Deborah Adele The Untethered Soul by Michael J.
