  • Don’t miss out 😉

    Genuinely one of the best podcasts to listen to for something raw, but so inspiring and uplifting. It was an utmost pleasure to be interviewed by Hayley and to have the opportunity to share my story, something I never would’ve achieved without her and her platform. She is a world changer with what she does and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this little poddy of hers ❤️

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

135 ~ Feeling Burnt Out? The Science of Restoring Your Energy with Dr Amantha Imber
Q: What is the biggest misconception people have about energy?
Many believe energy is a single, binary state; in reality we have three energy accounts and must replenish deposits in each to sustain performance.
135 ~ Feeling Burnt Out? The Science of Restoring Your Energy with Dr Amantha Imber
Q: If someone is listening right now and they're feeling just super exhausted all the time, where would you say that they should start?
Awareness is the best first step; start by tracking physical, mental, and emotional energy daily, even with simple smiley faces, to identify patterns and where to focus.
97 (Part 1) ~ Infertility, Loss & Finding Yourself Again : Clarissa’s Successful Fertility Transformation
Q: Clarissa, that's just such a huge experience to go through. How did you come back from that? What was the time like emotionally, physically, spiritually?
I didn't cope at first; I didn't have the skills or the modalities I have now, and I felt isolated as friends stepped back. Over time, I began to work on myself—meditation, reconnection with my husband, and learning to hold space for grief—so I could heal and eventually transform the trauma into a mission to support other women.
107 ~ Erna Walraven: One of Australia’s First Female Zookeepers on Animals, Attenborough, Feminism and Courage
Q: What was the turning point or the moment you felt things began to change for women in zookeeping?
The arrival of more women creating a supportive sisterhood, the formation of safe spaces and debrief areas, and the shift toward collaborative care and compassionate training helped redefine the culture and policies in zoos.
107 ~ Erna Walraven: One of Australia’s First Female Zookeepers on Animals, Attenborough, Feminism and Courage
Q: Could you share one of the moments that encapsulated how challenging it was to be one of the first women in the field?
She described ongoing hazing, sexist behavior, and physical intimidation, including having her boot filled with animal excrement and being subjected to inappropriate touching, which underscored the entrenched gender barriers she faced.
