This week’s conversation with Alyse touches something so deep in all of us who are learning to listen to our bodies, rest, and trust the journey—especially when life, or health, feels confusing or frustrating!

After months in what Alyse gently called her “House of Health,” she discovered something profound: While we may want to rush our healing, the real transformation comes when we surrender, rest, and allow old beliefs to fade.

Our body has wisdom—signals for when to stop, breathe, and fill our own cup.

We talked about how society teaches us to push, but true healing begins in softness—when we honour our seasons, nurture ourselves, and let forgiveness wash through not just this life, but along the ancestral line.

When Renae suggested we explore shame together on the podcast, something in me thought ok, this is interesting - not because it's an easy topic, but because I knew how much healing could unfold in that conversation.

And that's exactly what happened.

What started as Renae's curiosity about shame became this incredibly freeing dialogue about how we can transform our relationship with those tender, vulnerable parts of ourselves that we've been carrying in silence.

We found ourselves sharing stories not from a place of dwelling in the difficult, but from this space of genuine discovery - how shame loses its grip when it finally has somewhere safe to land, and how powerful it is to realise you're not alone in these very human experiences.

This week, I’m inviting you into a conversation that is close to my heart—a gentle, honest exploration of narcissism, and most importantly, how we find our way back to our own inner power after encountering it.

In this episode, I share some of my own stories—what it was like to experience narcissistic energy both in relationships and in business, and the deep, sometimes painful lessons these experiences offered.

Renae and I talked about the ways a narcissist’s charm can take hold, how boundaries can sometimes feel impossible to hold, and the subtle ways we might lose sight of ourselves in the process.
