We’re born breathing, yet many of us breathe in a way that keeps the body stuck in stress.
In this episode, Belinda explores why how you breathe matters, and how your breath directly affects the nervous system, emotional regulation, and the body’s ability to feel safe.
You’ll learn why shallow, fast breathing keeps the body in survival mode, the benefits of nasal breathing and tongue position, the role of the diaphragm in nervous system balance, how humming and gentle breath holds stimulate the vagus nerve, and why CO₂ tolerance matters for anxiety, breathlessness, and resilience.
You’ll also be guided through a simple, practical breathing practice you can use anytime to calm your nervous system and reconnect with your body.
This episode is educational, grounded, and designed to be revisited.

As we head into the New Year, there’s a message everywhere: New Year. New You. It sounds motivating, but for most people, it doesn’t last.
Only 8% of people actually succeed with their New Year’s resolutions. And it’s not because they’re lazy, unmotivated, or incapable. It’s because resolutions are built on hope, not on habits, and real change requires much more than motivation.
In this episode, Belinda unpacks why resolutions fail, what’s really happening in your nervous system when change feels hard, and what actually creates sustainable, long-term transformation.
This is not about hype, pressure, or reinventing yourself overnight. It’s about understanding the patterns underneath your behaviour, and learning how to work with your body, not against it.
By the end of this episode, you’ll feel grounded, clear, and resourced, not fired up for a week, but supported for real change that lasts.

Who you spend time with shapes everything, your habits, your choices, your stress, your growth, and your sense of self. In this episode, Belinda explains why your nervous system mirrors the people and environments around you, not because you’re weak, but because this is how humans are wired.
You’ll learn why some people feel regulating and expansive, while others leave you dysregulated, drained, or stuck in old patterns, and how your childhood experiences shape what feels “normal,” even when it isn’t healthy. Belinda shares practical ways to choose people and spaces that support your growth, regulate your nervous system, and help you create lasting change.
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel like a different version of yourself around certain people, or why growth and change can feel hard in familiar environments, this episode will give you clarity, validation, and tools to start choosing people and environments that truly nourish you and move you forward.

In this episode, Belinda speaks honestly about something many people quietly struggle with: Christmas isn’t always joyful, magical, or easy. For some, it’s a season of connection and celebration, but for others, it brings pressure, obligation, old family roles, and a nervous system that goes into survival mode.
If the holidays feel heavy or emotionally complicated for you, this episode will help you feel less alone and more grounded in choosing what’s true, peaceful, and healthy for you this Christmas, even if it looks different to what others expect.
What You’ll Learn:
A supportive, validating episode for anyone navigating family dynamics, emotional triggers, or the weight of tradition this time of year.

In this episode, Belinda takes you deep into one of the most important and often misunderstood truths about healing: your childhood didn’t end when you grew up, it lives in your nervous system.

This is a compassionate, grounded, deeply validating look at the patterns that follow us into adulthood, and how to begin rewriting them.

In this episode, Belinda sits down with Dr Donna Tanchev, a woman reshaping what women’s healthcare can look and feel like. Donna is the founder and principal GP of Her Medical, a women-centred clinic on the Gold Coast that feels more like a spa than a traditional doctor’s surgery —a pink building, soft curtains, warm spaces, and thoughtful design. At the heart of it all is genuine care for every woman who walks through the door.
Donna’s mission is simple but revolutionary: to create a space where women feel safe, seen, heard, and truly cared for. She has recently been named a finalist for Gold Coast Woman of the Year, and after hearing her story, it’s easy to understand why.

In this deeply moving conversation, Belinda sits down with Ashleigh Conwell, widow, solo mum to triplets, and founder of Yellow Falcon to share a story of unimaginable loss, resilience, and rebuilding a life with purpose.
At just 29 years old and 17 weeks pregnant with triplets, Ashleigh’s world changed forever when her husband, Matt left for his usual morning run and never came home. He was hit by a car, and in that moment, everything changed. Within the same year, she also lost her father-in-law and grandfather, navigated a high-risk pregnancy, and battled severe postnatal depression — all while learning how to breathe again through grief.

In this episode, Belinda sits down with someone who’s played a huge role in her life and her family’s healing journey, Dr. Robin Tim So.
Robin is a registered acupuncturist with over 44 years in practice, known for the way he sees and understands the body far beyond symptoms. He’s also an Integrative Cancer Coach, guiding others through their own healing after walking that path himself.
In 2020, Robin was diagnosed with Stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer, a terminal diagnosis that changed everything. Yet today, he’s in remission.
In this powerful conversation, they explore:
Robin shares that when we “heal the fear of death, we really learn to live,” and reminds us that “Love cancer, it’s just another condition, another word.”
His story is a reminder that the body isn’t broken, it’s wise, and that “healing comes with open feeling.”

Ever snapped at someone and thought, “Why did I do that?” Found yourself overworking to the point of exhaustion? Gone numb or disconnected when life felt too much? Or saying yes when you really wanted to say no, just to keep the peace? These are all signs your nervous system has slipped into survival mode.
In this episode, Belinda breaks down the four stress responses, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, in a way that’s simple, relatable, and easy to recognise in your own life. You’ll learn why your body reacts this way, how these patterns were wired in the first place, and most importantly, how to guide yourself back to balance.
This conversation is full of practical tools and daily practices you can start using straight away so you feel more grounded, present, and connected.

In this solo episode Belinda dives into something we all experience - triggers.
You know those moments when someone says or does something and suddenly you’re in a full-body reaction? Maybe you shut down. Maybe you lash out. Maybe you spiral inside yourself. We often think the person or the situation is the problem, but really, they’re just pressing on something that’s already inside us.
In this episode, Belinda reframes triggers as activators, messengers and invitations showing us what still needs to be seen, heard, or healed. Instead of spiralling, she shares how to pause, regulate your nervous system, and reflect on the younger parts of you that might still be asking for compassion.
You’ll hear about:
Being activated doesn’t mean you’ve failed, it means you’re human. And each activation is an invitation to grow, to heal, and to choose how you want to show up.

In this solo episode Belinda dives into a weight we all carry - judgement.
Here’s the truth: you’ll be judged if you do, and you’ll be judged if you don’t. And yet, judgement is one of the biggest things that keeps us small. It silences us, makes us second-guess ourselves, and holds us back from showing up fully.
Belinda unpacks why judgement is often more about the person giving it than the one receiving it, how old wounds can make criticism sting more deeply, and the power of shifting from taking it personally to reclaiming your worth.
You’ll hear about:
If you’ve ever shrunk yourself out of fear of what people might say, this episode will help you step forward anyway, anchor into your worth, and live more freely.

After nearly two decades on the rugby league field, Kieran Foran has announced his retirement. With over 300 NRL games, a premiership, and a legacy as captain of the New Zealand national team, Kieran is stepping off the field and into a new chapter of life.
In this candid and powerful conversation, Belinda goes beyond the athlete and meets the man behind the jersey. Kieran opens up about his childhood dream to play for the Kiwis, the relentless work ethic that carried him through 17 seasons, and the darker battles he faced away from the spotlight. From gambling and drinking to depression and a suicide attempt, he shares how hitting rock bottom ultimately led him to rebuild his life.
We also explore:
This episode is more than a farewell to one of rugby league’s most resilient and respected players. It’s a raw reminder that success doesn’t make us immune to struggle, and that the courage to say “I’m not okay” can save lives.

In this episode, Belinda sits down with Trevor Hendy, six-time Australian Ironman Champion, four-time World Champion, and Australian Sporting Hall of Fame inductee. Trevor isn’t just a champion - he’s an icon. But as he reveals, his greatest lessons came not only from winning, but from discovering flow, connection, and meaning beyond competition.
Trevor shares the deeply personal story of losing his father and the profound sense of guidance he now feels. He reflects on how a supportive family and the surf lifesaving community shaped his values, and how an “effortless effort” mindset propelled him into the flow state - both in sport and in life. With honesty, he opens up about the ego traps of chasing external validation, and how he shifted from winning at all costs to winning on all levels.
We cover:
This conversation goes far deeper than medals and competition. Whether you’re an athlete, a leader, or simply navigating your own waves, Trevor’s wisdom will leave you reflecting on what it truly means to live in flow.

Belinda sits down with AJ Williams, a man who has transformed a turbulent past into an extraordinary life.
AJ shares with raw honesty how living in public housing, surviving domestic violence, growing up with alcoholic parents, and being abandoned shaped him, and how he consciously chose to break generational cycles. From professional sport to founding Revel Saunas & Ice Baths, AJ reveals the lessons no business book could teach: resilience, alignment, and prioritizing health over wealth. He also shares how his three daughters have softened him and why he focuses on building memories rather than chasing money.
We explore:
• Surviving a challenging childhood and choosing a different path
• Transforming personal pain into purpose
• How he built an 8-figure business in just 3.5 months without any stock
• The role of timing, purpose, and alignment in true success
• Parenting philosophies: why time and presence matter more than screens
• Why health and wellbeing always outweigh wealth
• Not needing to prove your worth because you know who you are
This isn’t just a story of success, it’s a story of survival, courage, and rewriting your life’s narrative, no matter where you start.
