Matthew McConaughey turned down 14.5 million for a role in a rom-com, so he wouldn't be typecast in the same movies forever. Getting pigeonholed can work against you when you're working on your craft.
That's why in this episode we talk about all the ways being a beginner might just be exactly what you need, and why where you are right now might be more perfect than you even realise.
Squash the idea that you should be "further along by now". Keep going. Iron out the kinks. Do it because you’re enjoying the process.

Sick, Tired, and Still Trying to Do It All? Same. 22:49

10 days ago22:49

22:49

You know that feeling when you’ve got a big deadline looming and your brain’s like, “Let’s do everything at once”? Yeah, same. In this ep, you’re hanging out with Stacey (very pregnant) and Ané (very purgy) as they chat about the chaos of doing it all… and the magic of letting go. Here’s what you’ll vibe with: ✨ What it actually means when your body whispers "slow down" 🌀 Navigating burnout, foggy brains, and the pressure to get it all done 📋 Using the “Wheel of Life” to figure out WTF your real priorities are 🧼 How chucking out old flowers or vacuuming can be more healing than smashing through your to-do list 💃 Reclaiming the feminine – bringing back joy, play, and permission to rest 🎨 Painting by numbers, dancing while cleaning, or just lying down – it all counts 🤝 Having someone to check in with when the masculine hustle gets too loud This one’s for you if you’re juggling business, life, deadlines, and big feels. (So, everyone.) Expect real talk, tender moments, and a gentle reminder that you’re allowed to slow the hell down . 💌 Let us know how you’re finding balance, play, or peace – we’d bloody love to hear it. And if this ep helped? A cheeky review goes a long way.

Showing Up Unpolished (And Why That’s the Vibe) 30:24

17 days ago30:24

30:24

Hey legend, in this episode, we’re talkin’ about being seen —like, properly raw, sweaty-from-the-gym, no-makeup real. You know, the bits most people filter out on the ‘gram. You’ll hear us unpack: Why perfectionism is just fear in high heels. The low-key anxiety of always trying to look the part. The sneaky ways old school comments (cheers, Mum) mess with your self-expression. How your support system IRL changes how you show up online. Reclaiming messy, no-pressure friendship hangs (yes to PJs, no to sparkly top expectations). What to do when your vibe starts evolving but your mates don’t. Creating sacred space for the raw you—even if it’s just on your lounge room floor with a bowl of twisties. We get honest about loneliness, online masks, and why your heart probably needs a little tune-up from time to time. It’s all about showing up as yourself—even if that self is halfway through a bleed and not in the mood to talk. You'll laugh, nod, and maybe feel called out in the best way. Let this be your permission slip to stop performing and start just… being.

Release the Grip: Endings, Ego, and Energy Management 28:34

24 days ago28:34

28:34

You know when you're meant to talk about business but the energy is just… off? Yeah, that was today. In this shadowy, slow-mo episode, Stacey and Ané lean into the pause. We talk about endings, expectations, exhaustion, and why surrendering to the moment (instead of forcing it) might be the most productive thing you do all week. In this ep, you’ll hear: Why we ditched the sales chat and went with the flow How to honour your energy when you’re at capacity (hello, full permission to rest) The emotional chaos of trying to make something “special” Letting client relationships fizzle (without the guilt) How trying to force a perfect moment usually ruins it Our favourite unexpectedly magical memories (spoiler: they weren’t planned) The pressure of photos, holidays, and high vibes — and why less is often more A reminder that not everything needs a grand gesture… sometimes you just need a bowl of wedges and a lemon lime bitters ✨ This one’s for you if you're feeling tired, over it, or like your brain’s playing ping pong. Come sit with us in the in-between. No pressure. No to-do list. Just a little space to breathe. 💌 Like something in this episode hit you in the heart? Let us know — we love hearing your stories.

Energetic Hygiene & Clearing the Digital Crap That Drains You 33:56

4 weeks ago33:56

33:56

In this ep, Stacey and Ané get real about something no one talks about enough — how to protect your energy online. We all know how to smudge our house or shield our aura... but what about your inbox? Your socials? Your bloody Notes app? This episode covers: What “digital cord cutting” actually is (and why it’s a spiritual act) Signs you’ve got an energetic leak coming from your online world Why unfollowing, muting and blocking isn’t rude — it’s necessary The difference between a vibe mismatch and a trigger (and how to tell) Cord cutting rituals you can do with candles, string, jars of rice — or just your intuition The truth about psychic tethers, the evil eye, and why you can’t stop thinking about that one person How being “too nice” can get you energetically tangled (and how to quit the people-pleasing loop) Whether you're clearing out your DMs, unsubscribing from noisy newsletters, or smashing plates in your backyard, this ep is here to remind you: your digital space is sacred too. ✨ So if your psychic Wi-Fi feels jammed, come have a listen. You'll walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and way less guilty about hitting “mute.” 💌 Wanna see a digital cord cutting ritual in action? Let us know — we’re planting the seed for a virtual workshop.

A Modern Mother Blessing: Ceremony, Sisterhood and Ancestral Feminine Wisdom 40:21

5 weeks ago40:21

40:21

In this juicy episode, Stacey and Ané get raw and reflective about Stacey’s recent mother blessing. It’s not your typical baby shower chat — this is all about presence, ceremony, and the power of sisterhood. You’ll hear: Why Stacey felt called to have a mother blessing instead of just a baby shower How the ceremony was crafted with deep intention — from sage at the door to red thread rituals The importance of honouring the transition from maiden to mother (and not just buying more baby gear) Real talk about boundaries, family dynamics, and trusting your gut when it comes to who you invite A full rundown of the day: the altar, beads, affirmations, candle-making, sound baths and tears (so many tears) How this event became a healing experience not just for Stacey, but for everyone who came This one’s for you if: You’re curious about sacred feminine ceremony You’re about to become a mum and want something deeper than a nappy cake You’ve ever felt the pull to reconnect with ritual, lineage, and meaning Or you just need a reminder that you get to do things your way — without apology Big themes? Presence over presents. Ceremony over performance. Trust over fear. And always: let the ripples be rippling. 💌 Got questions or feel something stirring inside you after listening?

From Ceremony to Centrelink: Bridging the Woo and the 3D 33:20

6 weeks ago33:20

33:20

Ever had a big spiritual shift—like, cosmic download levels of whoa—and then thought, "Cool… now what the hell do I do with this on Monday morning?" Yeah. This one’s for you. In this ep, you’ll hear us (Stacey + Ané) get real about what happens after the soul-tingly moments. You know, the retreat breakthroughs, the astrology readings, the mushie trips, the ceremony vibes that leave you buzzing but a bit wobbly. We unpack: That weird in-between space after a big spiritual drop-in What integration actually looks like (hint: it’s not always lighting another candle) How the ego gets LOUD when you’re levelling up Why triggers are actually little neon signs for growth (yep, even the annoying ones) Slowing down to hear the whispers (and why slow isn’t lazy) Energetic discernment in spiritual spaces (especially when it gets a bit... off) How to bring your spiritual self into your biz without sounding like a walking crystal shop Plus: Stacey shares a mushie birthday story that ended in a total life shift, and Ané reminds us to tune into our “why” when things get noisy. Basically, this ep is a cosy, honest chat about how to actually live all the magical sh*t you're learning. Without frying your nervous system. ✨ Listen in if you’ve been feeling: Wobbly post-transformation Like your downloads have nowhere to land Triggered AF and wondering why Ready to blend your spiritual life with your work life 🌀 Your Integration Homework (if you want it) Ask yourself: “Why did I sign up for that experience in the first place?” Take one thing you’ve learned and do something teeny-tiny with it. Yes, tiny counts. Let us know what you’re integrating (even if it’s messy). 🎧 Rate, review and share it with your mates who also get caught between the cosmos and the Coles checkout. 🌙 Got episode ideas or juicy Qs?

Money Wounds and Abundance Codes 33:44

7 weeks ago33:44

33:44

Got money blocks? We all do. In this episode, we discuss abundance, money mindset, and all the funky patterns and beliefs that mess with your flow. We chat about: Feeling abundant even when you’re bloated, tired, or purging (yep, that too) Why high vibes aren’t everything (and why faking it just confuses the universe) How money is just energy — and how you’re leaking it all over the joint Rewriting the belief that money = evil (spoiler: it actually just amplifies who you already are) Rituals that help — like cinnamon spells, breathwork, decluttering, and yes... talking to your money like it’s your mate Guilt, shame, pricing yourself, and avoiding your invoices (been there) The magic of self-worth and setting boundaries that don’t turn you into a resentful potato Plus, we throw in a few practical tips like how to soften your nervous system around money, when to raise your prices, and how to turn tax time into a candlelit ritual (wine optional but encouraged). ✨ Big takeaway? Abundance starts with honesty. Not high vibes, not hustle. Just truth. 💸 Try the cinnamon door ritual? Feeling called out by your wallet full of crumpled receipts? Let us know! We love hearing your aha moments. Here's the spell: Ching, Ching, Ching goes the money tree! And every time it ching, money comes to me! It all flows in so ABUNDANTLY! From the top, left, right, and up under me! Wave, wave, wave, I’m a money wave! Money flow, money flow, money MADE! Flowing in and out, PLUS money saved! Paid, paid, paid, all debt is PAID! ⭐ Don’t forget to rate, share, or send this to a mate who needs to hear that money isn't the villain. It’s just waiting for you to stop ghosting it. Until next time, trust the universe... and sh*t.

27:58

When the Studio Lights Go Out: Pivoting With Purpose Ever had one of those "WTF am I doing?" moments in your biz? Yeah, same. This ep is a behind-the-scenes yarn about my pivot from video studio vibes to something way more aligned. You’ll hear me get real about: Outgrowing the vision you thought was it Letting go of things that once lit you up Grieving the dream (ugh, tears and all) Trusting what’s unfolding—even when it feels scary as hell What’s next for me and my clients (hint: it’s juicier, slower, deeper) Let this ep remind you that change doesn’t mean failure—it means evolution.

It’s a Hermit Year, You’re Not Behind, You’re Just Mid-Shed 32:49

9 weeks ago32:49

32:49

Right, let’s talk about it. 2025 feels... dense. Bit messy. Bit unclear. You might be thinking, “Why am I not further along by now?” Yeah, we feel it too. In this episode, we dive into: Why the middle bit of your journey matters How we’ve all become obsessed with the “arrival” Learning to sit in the stillness (not the same as stagnancy, btw) Tiny shifts that change everything Letting your shadow have a seat at the table Rewriting your own idea of success This isn’t about hustle. It’s about honouring the pause. The weird in-between bit that doesn’t make it to your Insta grid. It’s the year of the Hermit in Tarot, and yeah — it shows. Feels like the universe is saying, “Sit down, go within, stop performing.” So if you’re in a season of quiet, or feeling stuck… Maybe you’re exactly where you’re meant to be. Pour a tea, get cosy, and let this one land. There’s magic in the mess, promise.

Are You Abandoning Yourself in the Name of Being “Nice”? 27:08

10 weeks ago27:08

27:08

In this one, you’ll be nodding along with Stacey and Ané as they unpack that all-too-familiar inner tug-of-war: Are you following your intuition... or self-abandoning to make others happy? This ep is a gentle (and juicy) convo on: ✨ The fine line between people-pleasing and care 🌀 How to tell if you’ve overridden your intuition 💡 The lessons hiding inside regret (ugh, yes, even the baby shower kind) 💫 What intuition actually feels like in the body — and how to tell it apart from fear, cravings, or old programming 🌙 Why the full moon had us all a bit cooked Plus, Stacey shares a very raw story about her own self-abandonment moment during her baby shower — and the clarity that followed. Spoiler: it involves heart palpitations and a sacred do-over. You’ll leave this one feeling less alone, more grounded, and maybe with a few “ohhh THAT’S what that feeling meant” moments.

The Universe Called — It Said 'Chill the F*ck Out' 26:57

11 weeks ago26:57

26:57

Feeling like you're not cut out for business because you're not loud enough, spiritual enough, or structured enough? Yeah… nah. In this episode, we’re getting into it. You’ll hear Stacey reflect on how hard it can feel to show up when you don’t fit the typical ‘biz boss’ mould. That whole shiny, always-on, perfectly curated vibe? It’s exhausting. And it’s not the only way. We talk: The messiness of growing a biz while staying true to your energy Feeling wobbly AF when you're putting yourself out there Learning to speak from your heart (instead of trying to “market” all the time) Why you don’t need to perform spirituality to be spiritual That juicy moment when you realise you don’t have to prove sh*t to anyone This one’s all about trusting your own timing, owning your voice, and remembering that your way is the way. You’ve got permission to build your biz differently. You’ve always had it.

Feel Like You're in Floaty Limbo? Turns Out, That’s a Sacred Place to Be 25:23

12 weeks ago25:23

25:23

You ever feel like something inside you has shifted but your external world is lagging behind... like your biz, your house, your outfits – they’re still vibing with a version of you that doesn’t quite fit anymore? Same, sis. Us too. In this ep, we're chatting about that weird in-between space — the floaty limbo between your old self and the new version you’re slowly becoming. We unpack: Why it doesn’t always take a big dramatic move to grow (no need to quit your job, dye your hair and move to Bali… unless you want to). What to do when your internal world has evolved but your offerings or wardrobe or house still feel stuck in the past. The pressure to match your “inside vibes” with external success — and why it’s okay if things don’t sync up straight away. How to feel good about the slow floaty part of growth instead of fighting it. Dopamine traps, elevator metaphors, and chatting with your ego when it’s throwing a fit. Plus we ask the big Q: How do you actually practice patience when you feel like you should already “be there”? If you’re in a season of gentle expansion (or feeling like you’re stuck between levels), this one’s a cosy permission slip to slow down, honour where you’re at, and let it all unfold in divine timing.

Manifestations of Stress: From Fawning to Family Fights 30:31

13 weeks ago30:31

30:31

Righto, in this ep, you’re diving into the sneaky ways stress shows up in your life – and spoiler alert: it’s not just about the broken bowl in the bathroom. Stace and Ané crack open a raw, honest convo about how stress doesn’t always come knocking in obvious ways. Sometimes it looks like: Going full hermit and ghosting your social life Cleaning your partner’s house like a woman possessed (been there) Starting WWIII over politics at the dinner table Feeling off but not knowing why They chat about nervous system responses like fawning, freezing, and the ol’ fight-or-flight. And how sometimes it’s not about the thing , it’s about what the thing triggers from way back. (Yep, childhood wounds and generational stuff sneak in real good.) You’ll also hear about: How stress can make people trauma-dump instead of talk Why awareness is your best mate The power of the pause (literally, take 5 seconds before going off) How to actually hold a safe convo without breathing fire Plus a few home truths about conspiracy theories, combative energy, and why saying “I hear you” might just save your relationships. This one’s like a mini therapy sesh with a side of giggles. You’ll come away feeling seen, soothed, and a little less likely to snap at your housemate over dirty dishes. ✨ If this ep gave you something to chew on (besides your partner’s head), give us a rating or a cheeky review.

Dying to Talk About It: Death & Being an Infinite Spiritual Being 28:06

14 weeks ago28:06

28:06

This one’s a deep dive, folks. In this ep, you’ll hear Stacey and Ané chat about death—yep, we’re going there. Not in a doom-and-gloom way, but in a “let’s make peace with it and live a good life” kinda way. You’ll hear: Why death isn’t the enemy—it’s actually what gives life its juicy meaning That weird obsession the West has with pretending we’ll live forever (spoiler: we won’t) How past life stuff might be the root of your random fears (elevator anxiety, anyone?) What it means to live in integrity with your soul’s choices And why it’s totally okay if the cats keep chasing you (yes, really) The girls share personal stories, irrational fears (locked doors and trampoline cats included), and spiritual tools to help you stop fearing death and start living on purpose. Books we chat about: 🌀 Many Lives, Many Masters – a wild ride into past life regression and healing from deep-seated fears And a cheeky reminder: ✨ You’re an infinite being. Your spirit’s not on a deadline. ✨ You don’t have to cram every life lesson into one go. ✨ And no, chucking yourself in a dumpster when you cark it is not a vibe. Got a weird fear or a story about your past life as a Viking barmaid or intergalactic dolphin whisperer? We wanna hear it. Hit us up through our website. Let’s live fully, love boldly, and not be afraid of the stuff we can’t avoid. See you next week beautiful!

The part no one puts on Instagram. The setbacks, the self-doubt, and those moments where giving up feels easier than pushing forward. We chat about: Why failure isn’t actually the end (even when it bloody feels like it) How to reframe setbacks as stepping stones The spiritual lessons hidden in your biggest flops Letting go of the shame and trusting yourself again You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on failure—one that doesn’t make you want to crawl under a rock.

Just how MUCH should you be trusting the universe 29:09

18 weeks ago29:09

29:09

Hey legends, welcome back! This episode is all about the cosmic dance between trusting the universe and making sh*t happen for yourself. Ané and Stacey dive deep into the fine line between surrendering to the flow and stepping up to take action. 🔥 In This Episode, We Chat About: Eclipse energy, retrogrades, and why this is the perfect time to reflect and rewire When “trusting the universe” turns into avoiding hard choices Building self-trust and knowing when to say YES (and when to say HELL NO) The challenge of setting boundaries—especially when people-pleasing is the easy way out How to navigate external pressures, from business decisions to hospital visits (yep, Stacey’s got a personal story) Making the hard choices now so life flows easier later 💡 Big Takeaway: Trust isn’t just about surrender—it’s a practice. The more you flex your decision-making muscles, the easier it gets to balance intuition with action. 👉 We’d Love to Hear From You! What resonated with you? Any “aha” moments? Slide into our DMs or leave a review—it seriously helps us grow and bring you more juicy convos. Until next time, trust the process (but also, take the damn action).

Belief Systems Shaping your Business, Fear Inventories & Facing Deep-Seated Fears 19:58

19:58

You ever stop and think about how your beliefs shape your business? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today. Stacey and Ané are back, chatting about how the decisions you make are filtered through your beliefs, values, and past experiences. Some of these beliefs serve you, and some... well, not so much. Ané shares how shifting her belief about relationships completely changed the way she attracted people into her life. Stacey tells a hilarious story from a Tony Robbins event where she realized she believed her body fat was "too old" to lose. So, what do you believe about your business? About money? About success? If your beliefs aren’t supporting you, it might be time for a rewrite. This episode is packed with practical exercises—like fear inventories and worst-case scenario journaling—to help you uncover hidden beliefs and swap them out for something better.

Ever feel like your body and your to-do list are in a full-on battle? Yeah, same. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when your body’s screaming for rest, but your brain’s all "nah, we’ve got work to do." We chat about: 🔥 Learning to actually listen to your body (before it forces you to stop) 🔥 Releasing what no longer serves you—whether that’s old beliefs, tension, or the guilt of slowing down 🔥 Finding a work style that feels good (hint: you don’t have to sit at a desk to be productive) 🔥 Using Yin yoga, EFT tapping, and little rituals to soften and reset 🔥 Trusting that sometimes, the universe is doing the heavy lifting—your job is to surrender If you’ve been pushing through exhaustion, ignoring those headaches, or feeling guilty for taking a break—this one’s for you. Let’s shift the perspective, find ease in the chaos, and learn to trust the signals our body gives us. Resources & Mentions: ✨ EFT tapping (because sometimes you just need to karate chop your stress away) ✨ Yin yoga—the ultimate permission slip to slow the hell down ✨ Roald Dahl’s writing shed—proof that you don’t need an “official” workspace to create magic If this episode hit home, send it to a mate who needs to hear it too.
