In this MindSnacks episode, we explore how much energy we lose trying to control things outside our influence, like other people’s actions, outcomes, or opinions.
We shift focus back to what we can control: our energy, choices, boundaries, and mindset. You’ll learn a simple tool to help you release what isn’t yours to carry and redirect your energy with intention.
A reminder that self-trust grows when we choose presence over pressure.

This was the very first episode of MindKind: The Podcast.
The beginning of a conversation that has continued to grow, evolve and deepen.
For some of you, this may be the first time you’re listening. If so, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
In this episode, I introduce myself and explore why mindset truly matters. We look at how perspective shapes the way we experience challenges, how the brain influences our thoughts, and why awareness is the first step to change.
I share simple, science-backed tools that support a kinder relationship with the mind, including the power of building evidence for the good through practices like gratitude. Not as a way to bypass hard moments, but as a way to meet them with more compassion, clarity and choice.
For others, this may be a return to an episode you’ve listened to before. Listening back now, you might hear it differently.
When we listen on a different day, with different experiences and emotions, we notice new layers. Words land differently. Insights deepen. Awareness grows.
This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the foundation of this podcast:
being kind to your mind, especially when life feels challenging.
✨ Reflection prompt as you listen:
What lands differently for me now compared to the first time I heard this?

Stuck in a spiral of worst-case thinking? It’s time to play The Reframe Game.
In this bite-sized episode, I share how to shift self-talk using simple sentence starters that actually work. With a little brain science and a lot of real talk, you’ll learn how to turn “What if I fail?” into “What if this is exactly what I need?”
Practical, playful, and empowering.

The one where you reflect on... who you are becoming matters more than any resolution.
This final episode of MindKind: The Podcast is a powerful end of year reflection on growth, identity, emotional resilience, and choice.
Liz unpacks why reflection is essential for the brain and nervous system, drawing on Dr Tara Swart’s work on the emotional brain and the limbic system to explain why feeling matters more than logic when it comes to change.
You will explore how both the best moments and the hardest moments of the year shape who you are becoming, why seeing challenges as information rather than failure changes your future behaviour, and why traditional New Year’s resolutions fail to create lasting change.
This episode includes a guided future self visualisation, a science informed reframe of vision boards as emotional blueprints, and a grounded approach to building change through small, consistent action.
If you are ready to close this year with awareness, compassion, and clarity about who you are stepping into next, this episode is for you.

The one where you learn to make friends with curiosity.
In this MindSnacks episode, we explore how to choose curiosity over judgment, soften your inner critic, and reframe your thoughts with simple, practical steps. Discover why this small shift matters and how it can change the way you treat yourself and others.
The one where you question...what happens when the life you built suddenly falls apart and the version of you that everyone recognised no longer exists?
In this week’s episode of MindKind: The Podcast, Liz sits down with Bree, a business and mindset coach, creative entrepreneur, and one of the most grounded and generous voices in this space. After building a thriving career at Google, Bree’s world shifted overnight when she was made redundant during the pandemic. What followed was an identity unraveling, a season of deep self-reflection, and a courageous leap into entrepreneurship.
Bree shares the full arc of her journey. She speaks about her years at Google, the emotional impact of losing her job, and the unexpected pull toward floristry during lockdown. She then shares how chronic pain redirected her again and how coaching revealed itself as the next chapter she had been preparing for without realising it.
Together, Liz and Bree explore what reinvention really looks like. They talk about the grief of letting go, the importance of healing before rebuilding, the mindset tools that help you move through uncertainty, and the moments that quietly guide you toward your purpose.
This conversation is for anyone navigating change, starting again, or wondering if there is something more aligned waiting for them. Bree’s story is a powerful reminder that losing your way can be the very experience that brings you back to who you are.

The one that explains your default state and why it matters.
Your default state is the foundation you return to when your mind and body feel regulated, centred, and calm. In this episode, we explore how challenges, stress, relationships, and daily responsibilities can pull you away from that state, and how simple mindset tools help you come back to it.
Through science, real life examples, and accessible strategies, you will learn how to recognise when you are stretching beyond your capacity and how to gently guide yourself back to balance. This is a powerful reminder that you are allowed to reset, recalibrate, and choose how you show up each day.

The one that reminds you how powerful a single minute can be.
In this MindSnacks episode, we explore why a simple 60 second pause can shift your mood, reset your nervous system, and bring your brain back to focus. You will learn how a moment of stillness helps the amygdala settle, supports the prefrontal cortex, and brings you closer to your default state, which is the calm foundation you return to when your mind feels steady and safe.
This quick tool is perfect for busy parents, teachers, leaders, and anyone moving through a full season of life. If you need permission to take space, this is it.

The one where we talk to a modern man.
This episode marks something special. It’s the very first interview on the podcast and a conversation that has been on my heart for a long time.
I sit down with someone I know and love deeply, my husband, Jason, to explore what it really means to be a man and a father in today’s world.
This episode is reflective, emotional, and real.
We talk about how the role of men and fathers has shifted since the 90s. What it means to want to do things differently. And how becoming a better dad often begins with facing the parts of yourself that were never taught how to feel, express or heal.
Jason shares, with his big heart, how fatherhood changed his life for the better. He opens up about raising both a daughter and a son, how he's working to break cycles, and what he hopes to pass on to his kids.
This is for anyone who has special men in their lives, is raising boys, or is holding space for a new kind of masculinity to grow.
You’re going to feel this one.
The one that teaches you a simple daily tool to check in with your mind, body, emotions and energy so you can show up with more kindness and self awareness.
The one that brings you back to the version of you who always needed to hear, “I’ve got you.”
This episode is a powerful reminder that the answers you’re looking for aren’t out there, they’re already within you. We unpack what inner child work really is, why it matters, and how the way you speak to yourself shapes how you show up in the world. You’ll also explore how to model self-talk and emotional safety for the young people around you.
Includes a guided meditation to connect with a younger version of you in your favourite place and give them the support they never got.
You’ll leave with more understanding and self-trust as you move forward.
The one that reminds you it won’t always feel like this.
Inspired by a group of overwhelmed Year 7 students, this episode is your gentle nudge to zoom out when life feels heavy.
We’ll explore why your nervous system clings to urgency, how to reframe challenge as just one moment in time, and the powerful question:
“How will I feel after this?”
The one that reminds us that children see the world with a kind of clarity we often forget. In this episode, I share the sweetest conversation with a group of five year olds about what kindness means to them. Before we dive in, I talk about the wisdom young children hold and how much we can learn about ourselves when we slow down, get curious and listen with an open heart.
These little voices remind us that kindness is simple, honest and something we feel in our bodies. They talk about helping friends, looking after their hearts, feeling proud of themselves and what it means to be gentle with their own big feelings.
Their answers are tender, funny and full of truth. I hope this conversation invites you to reflect on your own relationship with kindness, both to others and to yourself.
Tune in and let these tiny teachers brighten your day.
The One Where We Remember What Kindness Really Means. What it is, what it’s not, and why the kindest thing we can do for the world is to start within. We explore the science behind kindness, how it changes the brain and heart, and how love, not fear, drives true connection. Tune in for tools to bring more kindness into your everyday life, for yourself and for others.
The one that helps you stop expecting yourself to do it all.
You might be capable of a lot but what do you actually have the capacity for right now? In this bite-sized episode, we unpack the difference between capability and capacity, why it matters for your mental health, and how to use this awareness to reduce overwhelm, perfectionism, and self-judgment. With science-backed insights and simple self-check tools, this is your permission slip to stop pushing and start honouring where you are.
The one that makes purpose feel less pressure and more achievable.
Tired of chasing a big, elusive “why”? This episode breaks down purpose into something practical, joyful, and personal. We explore what purpose really is (and isn’t), how to find it by following what lights you up, and why it matters for your wellbeing. With real-life stories, science-backed insights, and journaling tools, you’ll walk away feeling inspired to stop searching and start noticing, because your purpose might be closer than you think.
The one that reminds you to be as kind to yourself as you are to the people you love.
This MindSnacks episode dives into a simple but powerful practice I’ve started using which is saving kind messages, texts, and moments of love in a folder on my phone called “Me Love.”
We talk about why self-love isn’t just a fluffy idea but an essential practice, especially on the days when your inner bully is loud. You’ll learn how to interrupt overthinking, soften self-judgement, and start shifting the lens through which you see yourself.
We’ll explore why giving ourselves love often feels so hard, why it matters deeply, and how to start rewiring your mind and body to receive love, starting with your own.
Perfect for anyone who needs a reminder that you have a choice in what you believe, how you speak to yourself, and how you hold yourself through it all.
The one that helps you finally say no without guilt.
If you've ever said yes just to keep the peace or felt resentful after abandoning your own needs, this episode is for you. We unpack what boundaries really are, why they’re essential for your mental wellbeing, and why people pleasers struggle to hold them. You’ll get science-backed insights, real talk from a recovering people pleaser (that’s me), and practical tools to help you protect your peace, honour your energy, and teach kids how to do the same. Because you don't need permission to choose yourself first.
The one that takes the pressure off.
What if you treated your next goal like an adventure, not a final exam? In this episode, I’m sharing how shifting into “adventure energy” creates more freedom, fun and real momentum in life. This podcast is living proof, I started it as a little adventure, and it turned into something I love. No pressure. Just play. And that’s the point.
Get ready to rewire how you move toward your dreams with less perfection, more permission. Because life is an adventure, not a test!
