   Jun 17, 202612 min

   Over the past year, I've been quietly building a whole new chapter of Beauticate. It's been exciting, fulfilling, creative and, if I'm honest, incredibly stressful at times. In this solo Sacred Six episode, I'm sharing the six rituals, tools and practices that have helped me stay grounded, regulate my nervous system and protect my wellbeing during one of the busiest periods of my life. From infrared saunas and nervous system support to community walks, breath work and the surprising gadget that's become a daily non-negotiable, these are the habits helping me navigate long workdays, chronic pain, anxiety and overwhelm. If you've been feeling stretched too thin, struggling with stress, burnout, poor sleep or simply trying to hold everything together, I hope this conversation offers some practical inspiration and a reminder that small rituals can have a profound impact. In this episode, we discuss: Why nervous system regulation has become my number one wellbeing priority The surprising benefits of infrared sauna sessions for stress, sleep and chronic pain How community connection can dramatically improve mental health The meditation ritual I've relied on for years to manage anxiety and insomnia My favourite tools for relieving neck and back tension during stressful periods Why vagus nerve stimulation has become part of my daily wellbeing practice The simple mobility exercise that helps me manage chronic pain and inflammation Whether you're navigating a demanding season of life, experiencing burnout, struggling with sleep or simply looking for ways to feel calmer and more resilient, this episode is packed with practical tools you can start using immediately.

2. Dr Sarah Jane on Trauma, Transformation and Trusting the Body from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   May 7, 20261 hr 16 min

   This week, I’m joined by Dr Sarah Jane - Holistic chiropractor & Counsellor, founder of Spinal Energetics, and one of the most fascinating voices I’ve encountered at the intersection of science, somatics and the unseen. What struck me most about Sarah isn’t just the work she does - it’s the life she’s lived to arrive there. From a traumatic car accident and chronic pain… to an abusive relationship that left her body holding what her mind couldn’t process, to years of fibromyalgia, miscarriages, and navigating her mother’s sudden brain injury - her story is layered, complex, and deeply human. And it’s this lived experience that led her to a radical realisation:that healing isn’t just cognitive - it’s physical, emotional, and deeply embodied. In this conversation, we explore what happens when the body “keeps score”, why talk therapy alone isn’t always enough, and how creating safety in the nervous system can begin to shift even the deepest patterns. Sarah opens up about the concept of bracing - the unconscious tension so many of us carry - and why the goal isn’t to eliminate it, but to retrain it. As she beautifully explains, healing isn’t about never feeling pain again, it’s about changing your relationship to it. We also talk about grief that has no clear ending - miscarriages, identity loss, and what she calls “ambiguous grief” - and why our culture still struggles to hold space for it. Her book "Your Spine Holds the Answer" launches in July. A guide to holistic healing, the emotional roots of pain, and Spinal Energetics In this episode, you’ll learn: Why your body can hold onto trauma long after your mind has processed it– The difference between understanding healing and actually embodying it– How “bracing” shows up in everyday life (and how to soften it)– Why emotional pain often lingers longer than physical pain– The rituals and practices that helped Sarah rebuild herself, piece by piece This is a conversation about resilience — but not the glossy kind.The real kind. The quiet kind. The kind that asks you to sit with yourself, and slowly, gently, come home.

3. Alexa Roetger on Skin, Self-Worth and Starting Over from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Apr 24, 20261 hr 1 min

   This week, I’m joined by Alexa Roetger, better known to many as Nurse Lex — founder of Aestheticá Byron Bay, registered nurse, skin expert, and one of those rare women whose work is deeply grounded in both science and soul. Publicly, she’s built a respected Byron Bay clinic known for its holistic, less-is-more approach to skin. Privately, her story is one of resilience, reinvention, grief, motherhood, and learning to trust her own philosophy in an industry obsessed with trends. (Aestheticá, Byron Bay) In this conversation, Lex shares how she went from working in high-pressure clinical nursing to creating a business that helps women feel more at home in themselves — not more “perfect”, just more aligned. We talk about the emotional side of aesthetics, the moment your reflection no longer feels like you, and why so many women aren’t really chasing youth at all, but recognition. We also go deeper into the realities of building a business while becoming a mother, the quiet power of word of mouth, and the grief that can reshape how you see women’s health, hormones, ageing and care. It’s a conversation about skin, yes — but also identity, intuition, and what it means to support women honestly. In this episode, we explore: Lex’s path from nursing into aesthetic medicine The surprise motherhood story that unfolded while she was building her clinic Why she believes skin health should come before trends Her thoughts on barrier repair, regenerative treatments and respecting the skin The emotional impact of perimenopause, menopause and not recognising yourself in the mirror Why the best practitioners aren’t always the loudest online What it takes to grow a trusted business through integrity and reputation You’ll come away with a deeper understanding of skin, but also a deeper compassion for yourself — especially if you’ve ever felt like your outer self stopped matching the person you know you still are inside. If you loved this episode, I’d be so grateful if you left a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. It helps us reach more women who need these conversations.

4. Susan Yara on Reinvention, Resilience and Rebuilding Trust from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Apr 16, 202658 min

   Susan Yara, beauty pioneer, entrepreneur and wellness advocate, joins me for a deeply honest conversation about reinvention, resilience and what it really means to be beautiful inside. In this episode of Beautiful Inside by Beauticate , we go beyond the highlight reel. Susan shares her journey from feeling like an outsider as a child to building trust with millions of women, navigating public scrutiny and ultimately selling her brand. We talk about the psychological toll of online backlash, the quiet discipline of setting boundaries, and the moment she realised wellness wasn’t optional, it was essential. This conversation explores self-care in the digital age, the pressure of perfection and why a trusted inner circle is one of the most powerful forms of protection. Susan also opens up about motherhood, identity and the six rituals she returns to when she needs to feel grounded, clear and herself again. It’s a thoughtful, deeply human conversation about resilience, self-trust and choosing depth over noise. In this episode, we cover: • How Susan Yara reinvented herself and rebuilt trust • Why resilience matters more than perfection • The hidden cost of online criticism and how to set boundaries • Her approach to wellness, self-care and hormonal health • The six rituals that keep her feeling strong, calm and connected This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠Pulsetto⁠⁠, a wearable vagus nerve stimulation device designed to support calm, stress relief and better sleep through short, app-guided sessions.

5. Dr Shefali Tsabary: The Truth About Conscious Parenting, Screens and Shame from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Apr 9, 20261 hr 5 min

   This week on Beautiful Inside, I’m joined by Dr Shefali Tsabary — clinical psychologist, bestselling author, and the voice behind the Conscious Parenting movement. But what makes her story matter isn’t just her expertise. It’s the way she names the patterns so many of us are living inside: perfectionism dressed up as “good parenting”, approval-seeking disguised as “being a nice person”, and the silent burnout of holding everything together. This episode is brought to you by ⁠Pulsetto⁠ , a wearable vagus nerve stimulation device designed to support calm, stress relief and better sleep through short app-guided sessions. For more information, and to receive 15% off, use the code https://pulsetto.tech/. In this conversation, you’ll feel both seen and steadied. Dr Shefali doesn’t offer fluffy fixes — she offers a mirror. One that helps you understand why you react the way you do, how to repair without drowning in shame, and what it actually looks like to come home to yourself in midlife. We talk about the emotional moments that make parenting (and womanhood) so charged: the outbursts that leave you rattled, the guilt that follows, and the fear that you’re “doing damage”. Dr Shefali shares a powerful reframe — that parenting isn’t a performance to perfect, but a relationship to grow through — and the relief in that lands in your body. We also go deep on something many families are navigating daily: screens and tech dependence . Dr Shefali is clear-eyed about how dopamine, swiping, and constant stimulation are shaping our children (and us), and what it takes to set boundaries that don’t come from control, but from protection and leadership. And then, the conversation widens beautifully. Dr Shefali opens up about her own reinvention — leaving India at 21, building a life in the US, and later shedding the identity of the “good wife” and the woman who performs stability. It’s raw, brave, and deeply liberating, especially for anyone standing at the edge of a life shift and wondering who they’ll be without the roles. How to pause, reflect, and repair after you lose your temper — without spiralling into self-hatred Why shame keeps women stuck, and how to start loosening its grip The difference between life-enhancing boundaries and ego-enhancing boundaries (and why that matters at home) What screen addiction is really doing to attention, connection, and family dynamics The real root of burnout for so many women: the hunger for approval, validation, and praise Dr Shefali’s beauty and wellness rituals — not as “self-improvement”, but as self-connection If this episode gave you language for what you’ve been feeling — or a gentle jolt of permission to change — I’d love you to leave a review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. It helps more women find these conversations, and it tells the algorithm this is worth sharing.

6. Trinny Woodall on Purpose, Pressure and Picking Yourself Back Up from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Apr 2, 202626 min

   This week, I’m joined by Trinny Woodall — founder and CEO of Trinny London. She's a media personality, and one of the most refreshingly honest voices in beauty and business. But what makes Trinny so compelling isn’t just what she’s built. It’s how she’s rebuilt herself, again and again. From addiction and grief to solo motherhood, leadership, reinvention and the ongoing work of backing herself, her story is one of depth, resilience and hard-won self-awareness. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to keep showing up when life has humbled you, stretched you or broken your heart a little. Trinny shares why she hates the phrase imposter syndrome, how she’s learned to walk into rooms she once felt unqualified for, and why women need to stop shrinking themselves in spaces that were never designed for them. We also talk about female friendship, social media, people-pleasing, leadership, and the subtle but powerful choice we all have to either lift each other up or get caught in drama. It’s a conversation about emotional maturity, courage, and learning how to be fully yourself in public and in private. Along the way, Trinny shares some of the rituals and practices that keep her feeling strong and steady — from meditation and weight training to SPF, ice facials and the small disciplines that help her return to herself. In this episode, we explore: • Why community can be a lifeline when you’re struggling • The mindset shift that matters more than confidence • What addiction, grief and hardship can teach us about resilience • How to lead without losing your humanity • Beauty and wellness rituals that genuinely support wellbeing If this conversation resonated, I’d love it if you’d follow the show, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend. It really helps us continue these conversations and bring them to more women who need them.

7. Sacred Six on Escape, Intention and the Spas That Shape Us from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Jan 22, 202614 min

   This episode is about why Sacred Six exists at all. I’ve just finished filming Sacred Six: Best Destination Spas in Australia, and I recorded this episode from Alba on the Mornington Peninsula. Alba immediately took me back to my twenties, to visiting thermal spas in Switzerland and realising, very clearly, that this was the world I wanted to write about. Sacred Six isn’t just a list. It’s about the places that fuse architecture, design and wellness in a way that feels transportive. The kind of spaces where you step out of your everyday life and into something more intentional, more imaginative, more restorative. In this episode, I talk about what makes a spa truly exceptional, why Australia deserves its own Sacred Six, and how these experiences have shaped my work, my perspective, and my relationship with beauty and wellbeing over time. If you’re craving escape, dreaming of travel, or curious about how place can change how you feel, this episode is for you. If you have a destination you think should be on my list, I’d love to hear it. Please rate, review and share the episode if it resonated with you. It helps more than you know.

8. Guy Sebastian on Fame, Family & Fragrance from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Jan 7, 202639 min

   I’ve known Guy Sebastian for over two decades, and yet this conversation felt different. Beyond the voice, the accolades and the longevity, Guy has always been quietly reflective, thoughtful about people, pressure, and what really matters when the noise dies down. In this episode, we sit down not to talk about success, but about survival, self-trust, and the courage it takes to live a balanced life in an unbalanced world. Guy opens up about growing up between cultures, feeling different from a young age, and how early fame intensified the pressure to please. He speaks candidly about experiencing situational depression, being manipulated at a vulnerable time in his career, and how that experience destabilised his sense of self, forcing him to rebuild from the inside out. We talk deeply about mental health in the digital age, the harm of constant external input, and why shrinking your world to a trusted inner circle can be one of the most powerful acts of self-protection. Guy also shares how fatherhood reshaped his priorities, how he navigates screens and boundaries with his children, and why balance, not perfection, has become his guiding principle. This is a grounded, honest conversation about identity, responsibility, and choosing a life that actually holds you up. In this episode, we explore: Why trying to be everything to everyone leads to burnout How Guy rebuilt his self-trust after a deeply destabilising period The importance of inner circles, friendship, and emotional safety Mental health, masculinity, and asking for help Parenting in a digital world and setting values-based boundaries Why success without balance is a hollow win If this episode resonated with you, I’d love for you to leave a review or share it with someone who might need to hear it.

9. Tanya Ali Jalani on Awakening, Mental Health, and the Human Side of Healing from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

   Dec 17, 202528 min

   This week, I sit down with the luminous Tanya Ali Jalani: breathwork facilitator, sound healer and the founder of Riise. Tanya’s story is one of profound inner awakening, cultural reinvention, and the courage it takes to dismantle the conditioning we inherit. Tanya grew up in Iran before migrating to Australia at age six, carrying the weight of cultural expectation, displacement, and early mental health struggles. At twelve, she knew something inside her felt different: but didn’t yet have the language for depression, trauma, or the emotional storms that shaped her early life. Her life changed dramatically six years ago during a deep meditation retreat, where she experienced a spiritual awakening so powerful it rewired the way she thought, felt and moved in the world. Today, she teaches breathwork and sound healing through a lens of responsibility, integration and emotional safety: and she speaks openly about the days she still has to work hard not to dip . In this conversation, we explore: • How cultural and family conditioning shapes identity • Tanya’s profound “before and after” awakening experience • The difference between sadness and clinical depression • The hidden emotional load carried by immigrant and Middle Eastern families • Why breathwork can activate dormant energies — and why responsible aftercare matters • Why spiritual highs mean nothing without staying human • The rituals and practices that help her remain grounded This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt wired differently, struggled in silence, or longed for a deeper connection to themselves.

10. David the Medium on Intuition, Healing and Life After Death from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

    Nov 26, 202534 min

    What comes to mind when you picture a psychic medium? Incense? Crystal balls? Whispery voices? David is none of those things. Before becoming one of Australia’s most sought-after mediums, he was a corporate counter-terrorism analyst — logical, sceptical and deeply uninterested in “woo woo.” Then a single reading in suburban Melbourne changed everything. In this conversation, David shares the story behind his unlikely spiritual awakening and the trauma that sharpened his intuition. We talk about what the afterlife really feels like, why he believes nothing is a coincidence, and his beautiful philosophy that life on earth is a classroom for the soul. He opens up about growing up as a highly intuitive child without realising it, coming out as a teenager in conservative Melbourne, his parents’ separation, and how grief, heartbreak and “real life” became the very experiences that trained his spiritual gifts. We also explore: How to strengthen your own intuition (and why everyone has it) What it feels like to receive messages from spirit Reincarnation, soul contracts and the “waiting room” he calls heaven Why trauma often unlocks psychic gifts How to recognise signs, synchronicities and déjà vu The surprising connection between spirituality and self-development It’s a grounded, thoughtful and surprisingly practical look at intuition, energy, grief and what it means to be alive. Whether you’re deeply spiritual or gently sceptical, this episode might change the way you see the world — and yourself.

13. Sacred Six: The Rituals & Practices Helping Me Heal From Burnout from Beautiful Inside by Beauticate

    Aug 28, 202521 min

    At the end of 2023, I hit a wall. Anxiety and burnout forced me to slow down and rebuild (you can hear more in earlier episodes). Out of that experience came Beautiful Inside — a space for honest conversations about mental health, healing, and redefining beauty as something that starts within. In this solo episode, I share my current Sacred Six — the six rituals and mindset shifts helping me heal, reset, and find balance. 1. Creating a Sacred Space It includes my: • Infraredi red light: here’s my discount code. Here’s the article about it • Dyson Supersonic R • My 5 Minute Journal • My Pulsetto device : here's another discount code ' • Fragrances by The Ayu and Shemana, candles, incense, crystals, prayer beads, and a photo of my grandmother • Tools like my De La Heart lymphatic tool and Lonvitalite dermaroller The space itself, with a Viola marble benchtop from Allambie Marble Crafts and VJ panels, feels beautiful and intentional. It reminds me daily of the power of ritual and environment in healing. 2. Energy Healing: The Spiral Soul Healing with Kellie I recently completed an 8-week Spiral with SoulHealingKellie. Her own story of trauma and transformation inspired me to dive in, and the process combined emotional clearing, EFT, and inner child work. What it gave me: • More openness, less procrastination • Courage to take action • Cleared blocks around goal-setting and asking for what I want • Freedom to dream bigger without fearIt taught me one vital lesson: get out of your own way. 3. Spinal Energetics with Dr Sarah Jane Dr Sarah Jane created Spinal Energetics™, blending chiropractic, psychology, and energy work. In my session, she “read” my pain with uncanny accuracy — at one point, my arm felt on fire. Though my neck pain is ongoing, I saw how physical and emotional healing mirror one another. 4.
