In this episode, I sit down with Ronika Merl for a deep conversation about storytelling, trauma, and the messy, nonlinear path to healing. We talk about how sharing our stories helps us process pain, why acceptance is a huge part of personal growth, and the power of authentic connections.

Ronika shares her take on aging as a privilege and why freedom means living life at your own pace, without society’s expectations weighing you down.

Storytelling is a fundamental aspect of human experience.
Everyone has a unique and extraordinary life story.

82: Healing Trauma Without Reliving It: A Groundbreaking Approach with Kasia Makuch-Cole

Tue, 18 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0930

In this episode, I sit down with Kasia Makuch-Cole, a psychotherapist and founder of Balance Psychotherapy Clinic, to explore a refreshing, body-focused approach to mental health. Kasia challenges traditional therapy models that prioritize storytelling and diagnoses, advocating instead for working with body sensations and emotions to process trauma and find balance. We discuss how sensations in the body can reveal deeper emotions, the role of self-compassion, and why mental health isn’t just about the mind—it’s about the entire nervous system. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with conventional mental health approaches, this conversation will open your eyes to a whole new way of healing.

💡 Key Takeaways

Mental Health is More Than the Mind: Healing involves the body, emotions, and nervous system.
Trauma Lives in the Body: You don’t have to retell your story to heal from it.
Self-Compassion is Key: A nurturing approach to emotions leads to deeper healing.
Body Awareness Matters: Understanding sensations can help process emotions.
Joy Over Happiness: Instead of chasing happiness, focus on cultivating lasting joy.

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:00:00 +0930

In this episode, I get real about burnout, feeling stuck, and how I’m recalibrating my life and this podcast. After months of pushing myself too hard, I’ve realised that two episodes a week isn’t sustainable, and it’s time to shift gears.

80: Why I shaved my head, and society's double standards

Mon, 17 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0930

I shaved all my hair off, live on TikTok.

What started as a spontaneous challenge turned into one of the most liberating experiences of my life. But what I didn’t expect were people assuming I was sick, having a meltdown, or that I would regret my decision.

In this episode, I share why I shaved it all off, the fears I had before doing it, and the surprising confidence boost that followed. Plus, we dive into the deeper societal beliefs around women and hair because, let’s be real, if I were a guy, no one would be asking if I was okay.

💡 Key Takeaways

Sometimes, the things we think we “have to” do (like having long hair) are just habits we’ve never questioned.
Fear of judgment often holds us back, but once we push through, we realize how little it actually matters.
True confidence comes from feeling comfortable in yourself—not from fitting into beauty standards.
People’s reactions say more about them than they do about you.
Letting go of something you thought defined you can be incredibly freeing.

78: Don't Wait, Just Do - Talking Values, Confidence and Human Behaviour with Carly Pepin

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 06:00:00 +0930

Ever wondered why you do what you do—or why some goals feel impossible to achieve? In this episode of The Pursuit of Freedom, I sit down with human behavior coach Carly Pepin to break down the psychology behind our actions, the power of core values, and how understanding them can transform both your personal and professional life.

Carly shares her own journey into coaching, revealing how identifying core values is the key to unlocking confidence, motivation, and long-term success. We dive into the struggles of goal setting, the sneaky role of comfort zones, and why taking action—before you feel ready—is the secret to real growth.

We also explore how societal expectations shape decision-making, the impact of past experiences on our values, and why trial and error is essential to figuring out who you really are. Plus, Carly unpacks the paradox of freedom: how a little structure can actually lead to more freedom in life and business.

💡 Key Takeaways

Core values drive behaviour: Understanding your core values helps you make aligned decisions and build confidence in both life and business.
Action builds confidence: Waiting until you "feel ready" keeps you stuck—taking action first is the real key to growth.
Comfort zones limit success: Pushing past familiar routines is necessary for personal and professional development.
Freedom requires structure: Intentional systems and discipline can actually create more freedom, not less.
Trial and error is essential: Discovering your true self means embracing mistakes and learning from them.

Mon, 09 Dec 2024 06:00:00 +0930

I sit down with Tara Halliday, an imposter syndrome specialist with over 21 years of experience as a holistic therapist and coach. We delve into the fascinating world of imposter syndrome, uncovering what it really means, where it stems from, and how it impacts so many of us. Tara shares the surprising root cause of imposter syndrome—our societal tendency to tie self-worth to our actions—and explains how this can be reframed to achieve deep self-acceptance.

We also discuss practical tools for letting go of stress, reprogramming negative emotional triggers, and fostering unconditional self-worth. Along the way, we bust myths, explore how imposter syndrome shows up in everyday life, and talk about the ripple effect of overcoming it—not just for ourselves, but for our relationships, work environments, and communities.

39: Jumping Off The Conveyor Belt: Embracing Self-Discovery and Community with Debbie Harrell

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 06:00:00 +0930

My conversation with Debbie focuses on the importance of community, values, and the courage to question norms. We also dive into the challenges of loneliness, especially during holidays, managing mental health and the journey towards finding an aligned, purpose-driven life.

Topics discussed:

self-discovery beyond societal expectations
personal and generational trauma
the 'shoulds' that dominate our lives
the importance of tuning into our true desires.

About Debbie

Debbie Harrell is the vibrant force behind the New World Normal podcast—a space where questioning and disrupting societal norms is not just encouraged, it's the main event. As the host, Debbie dives into insightful conversations with guest experts and thought leaders, exploring how we can break free from norms that no longer serve us.

In her coaching practice, Debbie is a guide for values-focused humans ready to disrupt their personal norms. She empowers clients to challenge all of their "shoulds" and "have-tos," helping them align with their core principles rather than societal expectations, and rediscover who they are and what they really-really want from their one wild and precious life.

Beyond her biz, Debbie is a proud mom to two grown children and two rescued fur-babies. Nature, travel, and live music are her happy places, especially when they come together. Debbie's belief in the power of community is the driving force behind her podcast and community—providing comfort and connection in this bat shit crazy world. Because, in Debbie's view, embracing our similarities and collaborating as a collective offers the best chance for us all thriving in this crazy world.

21: Beyond motherhood – How Ella found her independence again

Sun, 26 Nov 2023 20:00:00 +0930

With the birth or her first child, Ella was hit with the realisation that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Her self-esteem had taken a nose dive and she felt she had lost her independence. The rose-coloured glasses had been ripped off and it was a bitter pill to swallow.

Ella loved being a mum (and still does), but after 7 years of being a stay at home mum, she was desperate to get back to work. The only problem was that she had no idea how to do it. Ella had become lost in the parenting journey and could only see barriers, not opportunities.

Fast forward to today, Ella is running a successful online business and has got her independence back, all whilst being a kick-arse mum and wife.

14: Losing parents at a young age, carrying grief, and moving forward vs moving on

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 20:00:00 +0930

A content warning that this episode talks about death, grief and loss. Give this episode a skip if you need to!

Today I chat with the amazing Tati Petkovic. Both Tati and I have experienced loss younger than most and we didn't hold back talking about it in today's episode. We confront the complex feelings of losing a parent young, how we carry grief with us, and how we have each moved forward whilst still honouring their memory.

We also talk about freedom, creativity, astrology and the safety fallacy of the 9-5.
