Lyndall Mitchell, founder of Aurora Spa, has pioneered Australia’s wellness movement for nearly three decades. In this episode, she shares her journey from a 14-year-old at Camp Eden to building an award-winning wellness ecosystem.

We explore why small, consistent actions matter more than big gestures, how to prevent burnout, and why giving yourself “permission to pause” is essential for leadership, longevity, and balance. Lyndall opens up about challenges of being a female entrepreneur, the evolution of spa culture in Australia, + her mission to integrate wellness into everyday life + even healthcare systems.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that wellness is not a luxury, rather it’s a necessity.
