02 Aug 2023#51 - Rejection is protection (so don't despair)00:20:17
Rejection happens. You don’t get the job; you lose your job; you miss out on a great opportunity; your project doesn’t get funded; an initiative of yours doesn't get up and running; the client doesn’t sign up; the donor doesn’t give; a relationship or friendship ends… But what if it’s all part of the divine plan? What if it’s opening you up for something else you’re meant for? Or keeping you safe from a situation that wouldn’t serve you in the long run? Rejection can be the exact thing you need to be redirected towards your true calling. In today's episode I share an experience where things were just not flowing and how rejection opened the way to the most precious thing occurring. Knowing that rejection can be the Divine's way of protecting and guiding you, can provide so much comfort. It will help you stay less attached to outcomes, to help you process any disappointment, and will keep you open to what is meant for you. This is a reminder that your soul and the universe knows what’s best and is always guiding you to your highest good.

22 Nov 2022#19 - What hitchhiking taught me about flow + trust00:25:05

In 2008 I embarked on a 4000km hitchhiking trip with two friends from Alaska to Canada. 

It taught me so much about flow and trust and gave me a blueprint for how to live my life with more faith. 

I share some of the stories from that trip, and another while hitching from Holland to Paris many years later. You'll hear about me fending off potential bear attacks with mothballs, manifesting a tent in the wilderness and other wild moments. 

You'll also hear the magic and miracles I experienced at the 11th hour that transformed my experiences (and kept me safe). 

It's my intention is it will inspire you to greater levels of trust and faith and awaken you to the flow available in your own life. 

My friend Kenny who I travelled with shares his stories and inspiration from the road at https://www.freestyletravelshow.com

07 Dec 2023#66 - The importance of art and creativity in our lives00:23:28

Are you prioritising art and your creativity? Art has a unique way of shifting our energy and opening us up to new ideas and possibilities. It helps connects us to ourselves, others, and the world around us. It can help elevate our energy, and therefore help elevate our lives.

Recently, I took an afternoon off to spend time with a friend visiting Melbourne. We visited an art exhibition by Marshmallow Laser Feast and the National Gallery of Victoria. I was read a pertinent part of the book by Laura Lynn Jackson I'm currently engrossed in called "Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe." This day was a turning point for me, as it made me realise the significance of prioritising art in my life.

In this episode I also reflect on my own creative process and struggles.

It's time for us all to embrace imperfection and get joy and pleasure from the process of creating - and enjoy other's creations. The world will be a better place for it.

What you can expect to hear:

00:00 Introduction and the Power of Art and Creativity

00:44 Personal Experiences and Reflections on Creativity

02:17 Exploring Art Exhibitions and Their Impact

04:22 The Role of Art in Changing the World

07:37 The Importance of Art in Elevating Energy

10:58 The Struggles and Rewards of the Creative Process

12:50 The Importance of Prioritising Creativity

17:27 Overcoming Perfectionism in Creative Endeavours

21:31 The Pleasure and Joy of Creative Expression

21:49 Encouragement for your Creative Practice

17 May 2023#41 - Leonie Dawson's soul-led life as a $13 million entrepreneur & philanthropist00:54:28

This is one inspiring conversation with vibrant, proudly neurodiverse, creative artist Leonie Dawson.

They have built a $13 million online creative business (working only 10 hours a week), won a host of awards for their biz, and is a prolific philanthropist who leads by example to show up as your authentic, weird, wonderful self.

Leonie shares valuable lessons on pursuing what your soul is calling you to do.

They show that building a business while working a full-time job is not only possible, but can be a joy. They share how they had the time of their life blogging and creating, while infusing their stale workplace with joy and love.

We get real and honest about shifting mindsets, overcoming self-doubt, pursuing creative passions, experiences with loss, the influence of elder women in their life, and the importance of embracing life's challenges and finding meaning in the midst of them.

We also discuss philanthropy and the role it plays in Leonie's life, highlighting the importance of giving back (and how much easier it is to do when you are wealthy!).

Leonie's story reminds us to pursue what sets our hearts and souls on fire, injecting joy wherever we can, appreciating the preciousness of life, and living life to the fullest.

I bloody love this colourful, fun human and all they stand for.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

12 Oct 2023#60 - Beauty in Adversity - Nurturing hope and faith during challenging times00:24:06

It seems so many of us are facing challenges in our lives and collectively. It is the Australian referendum, and now the outbreak of war in Israel and Palestine, along with the ongoing and new tragedies around the world. As well as the challenges and trials we face personally.

So how do we maintain hope and faith in the face of challenges? It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and discouraged.

In this episode I share my recent insight and experience into the role beauty can play to help nurture us through hard times.

One way to introduce beauty into our lives is through nature, art, and creative expression. These outlets can bring us joy and help us find solace amidst the chaos.

I also share other tips and practices to help you navigate the tough times.

Know that you are not alone in your struggles. We are all in this together.

Here's to facing these challenges with continued hope, love, and gratitude.

15 Nov 2022#18 - When you don't know what to do00:15:10

When you are soul searching for more meaning and purpose in your work and career, and you are clueless about what your next step should be, it's natural for your mind to deliberate over "well, what can I do?" or “what else is there for me?”  and be left feeling confused or uninspired.

So in today's episode I share the place to start.

If you are lost on what you are meant to do, focus right now on who you are meant to be.

As you grow and develop into who you are meant to be, what you are meant to do will become clear. 

The journal prompts I share are:

  • What are the old thoughts, habits and behaviours you want to change?
  • What are you ready to let go of? (e.g. patterns, things you tolerate, the “shoulds” and “musts” you put on yourself and all the negative things you to remove or transform) 
  • What do you choose instead?

Infinite Possibilities Meditation

I have created this meditation to support you to strengthen your faith in what is possible so your limiting thoughts and belief have less power. It's a powerful process with binaural beats that will help you access your subconscious in a state of relaxation and open to new possibilities that help you achieve your dreams.

It's my gift to you!

14 Mar 2024#78 - Embracing the unknown: A journey of faith and growth00:21:27

We all have an aversion to the unfamiliar and unknown, and yet that is the path we will continue to be called on by our souls. 

Drawing inspiration from a client’s artistic journey, I share the metaphor of facing a blank canvas and how it symbolises the leap of faith required to embrace uncertainty and follow the steps as you are shown - without always knowing where they will lead.

I share my most recent experience of the new, unexpected path opening up in offering oracle readings - how the steps to this new deeply satisfying work were revealed in stages and how yet again, I had no idea what was ahead on my path.

I dive into the beauty of trusting your intuition, embracing change, letting go of what no longer serves you and aligning with your authentic self for personal and collective transformation. 

Things I promised in the show notes:

Oracle Readings 

Whether you seek guidance on a specific issue or simply crave deeper understanding of your divine path, these sessions are tailored to help light your way forward.

It will help you reconnect with your true, divine nature and step more confidently into all of who you are and who you are becoming.

24 May 2023#42 - How my confidence interfered in my Unstoppable Confidence workshops00:10:17

My free workshop series kicks off tonight - and I thought you might enjoy hearing it wasn't ALL smooth sailing to get this out into the world.

In fact, when I first considered it, I ended up parking the idea due to my own confidence on delivering it.

And I couldn't be happier that I did!

Am so thrilled to be sharing my holistic approach to confidence and what's made the biggest difference to my own level of confidence.

07 Jun 2024#86 - Trusting what's meant for you won't pass you by00:27:53

If something is meant for you, it won’t pass you by.

In this episode I share my most recent experience that shows the importance of trusting life’s timing and having faith in the process. 

Recently, I faced a big disappointment when we didn’t get the apartment we had hoped for...

But ultimately it led us to find an even better place (which is divinely designed as discussed in episode #51 - Rejection is protection (so don't despair)). 

Revealing how we navigated a competitive rental market and manifesting a place that met all our criteria, this story serves as a testament to the power of faith and trusting that what's meant for you will not pass you by. 

This episode reinforces the belief that what’s meant for you will find you, even in competitive situations or when the odds don’t seem in your favour. 

If you trust yourself, take the right inspired actions, and stay open and patient to divine timing, then anything is possible. 

Join me as I dive into these spiritual lessons and how they can transform your own path.

In this episode:

00:19 The Concept of 'What's Meant for You'

00:47 Adjusting to My New Job

02:04 Facing Unexpected Challenges

02:56 The Search for a New Home

05 Jul 2023#47 - Create space for change - part 2! 00:28:31

In part 1 (Ep. #20), I shared some of the dramatic ways change has happened in my life and career after big decluttering processes.

Decluttering isn't just about tidying up our physical spaces; it's about clearing out stagnant energy and making room for new possibilities in our lives.

It's like giving the universe a green light to send us what we need.

In this episode, I update you on what has changed since my last decluttering efforts shared in episode #20, my observations as I assist my mum and stepdad to declutter and a recent experience when a fundraising campaign I was managing was struggling to meet its target (and the surprising influx of $20,000 in the week after I was nudged to declutter and tend to stuck energy).

I also share the power of intention and prayer in the decluttering process. By affirming our intention and consciously bringing it into the act of clearing and releasing, you amplify the magic even further.

So no matter where you're at, what can you let go of to help you move forwards? Let's find out!

01 Feb 2024#72 - Be true to you: discovering your authentic path00:29:04

Your path to feeling alive by an authentic, fulfilling life is to be true to yourself. And yet, in the noise of external expectations and influences, it can be difficult to be clear on your intuition and what feels true and right for you. 

As Pluto enters Aquarius, we enter a period of immense transformation and awakening. 

More than ever we are all being called to live in alignment with our souls. 

In today’s episode, I share practical tips help you discover - and remain - true to yourself and your inner knowing in life, love and work. 

I also share my own personal journey of self-discovery and honouring the inner calls of my soul, including as a queer woman (who for much of my life identified as hetero). 

The key to feeling fully alive is to break free from the shackles of expectations and conditioning. And take the leaps of faith your soul is calling you to take. 

Viva revolution!

07 Apr 2024#80 - The freedom of self-forgiveness: moving beyond the past00:24:46

Are you holding on to guilt, regret or shame for things you've done or said in the past, to yourself or to others? This is the episode for you. 

This was sparked by a social media poll I did that indicated how many of you struggle more with self-forgiveness than self-acceptance.

So I open up and share some of my experiences of overcoming guilt and regret from the past - from the end of my marriage, broken friendships, addiction-fuelled regrets and the way I treated my mum and my body…

Carrying emotional baggage from the past hinders your personal growth and connection to your true self.

And yet, our biggest growth comes from painful experiences. So trust the journey, learn from past mistakes and forgive yourself.

The journey of self-forgiveness will free you up to pursue your soul's purpose with less resistance and more ease.

In this episode:

00:00 Welcome to the journey of self-forgiveness

01:01 The importance of self-forgiveness 

03:25 Understanding self-forgiveness through personal stories

04:31 The process that helped me heal from so much shame 

07:54 Deep dive into some of my personal experiences of forgiveness

13:04 The ripple effects of forgiveness in relationships

19:05 Embracing the journey and letting go

22:15 Support and resources for self-forgiveness

23:15 Conclusion: the path towards living your true calling

Self-Forgiveness Meditation

This binaural beats meditation will guide you to forgive yourself and help you find peace about the past.

10 May 2023#40 - Do what feels right to you (even if it doesn't make logical sense)00:29:31

Some of the steps your soul calls you to take may not make logical sense.

Trust your intuition and do what feels right to you anyway.

Your soul operates on a different level of consciousness than your logical mind. Your soul is connected to your intuition and inner wisdom, which often transcends the limitations of your logical and rational thinking mind.

In this episode, I share personal stories of doing what felt right to me, regardless of how illogical they seemed, and what life-changing paths they led me down.

They will inspire you to trust yourself and your intuition more, and take actions that are right to you on your soul-led journey.

I also announce my free upcoming workshop series, "Unstoppable Confidence", to help changemakers, creatives, and leaders step into their full potential and make a bigger difference in the world.

29 Nov 2022#20 - Create space for change00:23:28

There is so much power to transform your life (including finding your calling), by transforming the space you live in, and creating space for change in your life.  

I have experienced it so often that when I clear things out, not only do I feel so much better, but I notice big changes happen in my life as a result . 

So whenever I feel like big change is brewing in my life, but I don't exactly know what it looks like and what's about to happen, I get busy clearing things in my home. 

I consider it clearing things out of my past in order to make room for what's about to come in. 

In this episode, I share some of the dramatic ways change has happened in my life and career after big clearings. 

So whenever you stand at your own crossroads, consider, what do you need to let go of to move forwards?

I also share my top tips to tackle things in your own home and life so you can experience the impact of creating space for change. 

It's not just decluttering, but also organising, completing and clearing things at home and work. Get to those projects and jobs you've been meaning to do and either get them done or delegate them to cross them off your list.

Then pay attention to what flows in as a result. 

The two books I mention are:

  • 'The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up' by Marie Kondo
  • ‘Goodbye, Things’ by Fumio Sasaki

13 Sep 2023#57 - Building strength after disappointment and setbacks00:28:31

It's tough to face disappointments and setbacks.

In my journey, I've faced my fair share of disappointments. Recently, I applied for a job that I was incredibly excited about, but didn't get. Ouch! It hurts. But it reminds me of a crucial lesson - even when we are aligned and following our intuition, setbacks and rejections are inevitable.

So we dive into how to navigate them and build our strength to keep going despite the setbacks.

I also share the experience of a listener and the brilliant strategy she had to help nurture herself through a recent disappointment as she follows the call of her soul.

05 Oct 2022#12 - How to create serendipity in your career & life00:23:39

Serendipity isn’t just blind luck. Experiencing miraculous serendipity is your birthright as a powerful co-creator with divine intelligence.

I spent years teaching the science of career ‘luck’ at university (aka serendipity). 

Now I share both the scientific and spiritual principles of serendipity and my experiences of how it shapes my life and career.

Albert Einstein said:
“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

Serendipity is a miracle sent to shape, guide, and support your journey. 

In this episode, I share the specific actions you can take that will help you experience more regular serendipity and miracles, and get you into the flow of life.

Your feeling there is something more, is your soul telling you there is! I am here with you every step of the way.

03 May 2023#39 - Guidance, support and messages from the other side00:31:26

You have loved ones, ancestors and guides on the other side who are with you each step as find and live your true, divine path and calling.

They are sending you messages, nudges, signs, and other people to support you all the time! 

In this episode, I share two particularly profound experiences of receiving messages/connection with my dad (aka Papa) who died when I was 16 years old.

I also share tips on how to open up to receiving messages, and encourage you to ask for clear messages and pay close attention to any signs or nudges you receive.

Remember, you are not alone, and your loved ones and guides are always listening and communicating with you in personal and meaningful ways.

They want to see you happy and fulfilled and will do what they can to support you.

19 Jul 2023#49 - The power of flexibility: how an open mind is key to your calling00:22:37

It is almost certain things will work out differently than you expect on the path to your calling.

So be prepared to have your preconceived notions challenged and be open to new possibilities.

In this episode I share how my own mind has been recently changed. As well another time that I was initially closed off to an opportunity that was meant for me (and that I took and had the best time with!).

It's essential to be open-minded and receptive to having your mind changed as you let your soul and the Divine take the lead.

Life is full of surprises and opportunities. Trust your intuition, embrace change, and remember that every experience is a stepping stone towards your ultimate calling.

The episode I mentioned was #41 "Leonie Dawson's Soul-Led Life as a $13 million entrepreneur and philanthropist".

25 Jan 2023#25 - Find your flow + allow in serendipity 00:21:53
Serendipity is fortunate things occurring unexpectedly. When you are in flow, you will notice that serendipity happens regularly and makes everything so much easier (and magical!).  I am in the midst of a transition into a new chapter in my life. I am moving out of my Byron Bay shire home of the past eight years, putting things in storage and entering the nomad world (atleast for this year). Moving is usually regarded as one of the most stressful things you can do. But when you have flow and serendipity on your side, it's easy (time consuming and exhausting, yes, but smooth and easy).  In this episode, I share some of the recent experiences of magical serendipity and unpack the key lessons you can apply to your life and career.  There are universal ways of acting and thinking that allow flow and serendipity into your life. I share some of them with you this week. To more ease and flow beautiful!

01 Mar 2023#30 - Trust yourself and say no or quit if things aren't aligned00:24:50

A little known fact is that I initially turned down the 'job of a lifetime' working in the Commonwealth Games Ceremonies castings team. 

In this episode, I share how my volunteer work after the Lismore floods in 2017 drove me to say no. 

Now, I ended up not only working in the castings team but was promoted to Senior Cast Coordinator supporting the team looking after 4000 volunteer performers. 

How I got there was honouring my intuition and what felt right to me at each step. There were multiple negotiations and I ended up in a position that I was initially told was not possible. 

My intention with this episode is that you feel empowered to really honor and trust what is a no or yes for you. And trust the unfolding journey, whatever happens as a result of honoring your truth. Because things will always work out for you if you believe it. 

This may include saying no to incredible opportunities or quitting things that are no longer a fit for you (I also have quit plenty of things and share one story of quitting where most people would just push on through). 

We also dive into how to tap into your intuition through your body. 

I want you feel empowered to trust yourself, and speak and follow your truth.

07 Sep 2022#8 - Your calling is better than you can imagine00:13:33

I am refuting the notion that “we cannot create in our life and career, what we cannot imagine” and here to tell you that the work (and life!) your soul is calling you towards is better than you can ever imagine.

All of what I experienced in my recent years in my own career journey and path to my calling was never imagined. In fact, things turned out better than I ever could have imagined.

So don’t get hung up on micromanaging the details and trying to intellectually work out your path ahead.

But what do you do when you know there is a higher calling for you, but no idea what that is?

In this episode I dive into the role of raising your expectations and working on overcoming what’s holding you back.

The two journal prompts I share are:
1. What is holding you back?
2. What am I going to do about it and why is it so important for me to change the way I think, feel and act and discover my calling?

Then take some form of action to start dismantling what’s holding you back. 

In the words of Martin Luther King Jr “You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step”

08 Feb 2024#73 - A powerful prayer for clarity and direction00:21:35

Prayer isn't only for the religious. This particular prayer will help you to transcend fears and know your calling in a clearer way. 

This prayer has now become a daily mantra, guiding me on my own spiritual path and opening up to the Divine’s direction for my life.

In this episode, I share how this prayer came into my life and what changes have happened as a result.

I’ve also cried this prayer in response to the horrors I see unfolding in Palestine, and it helps me to align with my inner spirit and divine purpose.

The prayer is:

Dear God/ Divine/ Universe

Please transform my fears and direct my attention to who you would have me be and what you would have me do.

Amen.

Here’s what we cover: 

00:26 The power of prayer in my life 01:46 Understanding prayer beyond religion 03:54 My personal prayer and its impact 06:10 The role of prayer in personal transformation 06:36 The reflection of world events in our personal journey 08:10 The prayer's influence on my business 10:15 The prayer's role in my spiritual path 14:28 How to incorporate this prayer into your daily life 18:43 Offering support and guidance for your journey

12 May 2024#84 - Finding joy: do what makes your soul happy00:19:02

In this episode we explore the significance of engaging in activities that bring joy and happiness to our lives. 

Societal norms and pressures discourage you from taking the time for things that bring you joy, attributing value only to being “productive”.

And yet, prioritising what makes you happy invigorates your life force energy and aligns you with your inner spirit.

It’s time to experiment with activities that make you happy, and reconnect to what brought you joy as a child.

I reveal how making happiness a priority, even in the smallest ways, helps you discover and fulfil your life’s purpose and calling.

It’s that vital!

06 Dec 2022#21 - Why you should set intentions, not goals00:25:12

In this episode, we dive into how setting intentions is more important than goals setting when finding and following your soul's calling and purpose.

Every thought you have has a tangible energy, that can either set yourself free or hold yourself back.  

I share the science that proves how powerful intentions are and the examples I've experienced in my own career journey. I share these so you know what's possible for you when you are sync with your soul and in the flow of life. 

I also give you the basic framework to set intentions, which includes:

  • Not being too narrow or specific
  • Setting them from a place of belief
  • Raising your expectations of what you think is possible
  • Don't put timeframes or deadlines on them

26 Oct 2022#15 - Believing in limitless possibilities00:16:56

Do you believe in limitless possibilities or does your mind limit you?

In this episode I dive into how "deeply inspired" (I repeat that phrase a lot haha - you're warned) after seeing Run Mandy Run documentary at the Byron Bay Film Festival last night.

A comedian, performing artist, mother of five and unlikely political candidate, Mandy stormed into the political race in our last election in Australia to represent my local electorate. She narrowly missed getting in. But she inspired so many of us to believe in what could be possible if she were elected.

She also urges each of us to claim our legitimacy and believe in the difference we can make.

When you think of your future, what do you imagine is possible? Can you allow yourself to dream big, without letting limiting thoughts like "as if", "no way" or "I can't" hold you back?  

These automatic negative thoughts can be so natural we don't even realise their toxic effect in dimming our inspired ideas.

Not only is believing in limitless possibilities important for your career and life moving forwards, it's important for all of us as we imagine the kind of world we want to create together.

Infinite Possibilities Meditation

I have created this meditation to support you to strengthen your faith in what is possible so your limiting thoughts and belief have less power.

It's a powerful process with binaural beats that will help you access your subconscious in a state of relaxation and open to new possibilities that help you achieve your dreams.

01 Nov 2022#16 - Why you need silence to hear your soul 00:28:04

'The quieter you become, the more you can hear' ~ Ram Dass

Do you make intentional time for silence, solitude and contemplation in your life? It is the no. 1 thing that will help you connect to your soul and inner voice, and hear the answers you seek. 

Silence helps you connect with who you really are.

And yet, if you struggle with silence, you aren't alone. In this episode we dive into talking about the challenge of sitting quietly with oneself and why it's important to overcome it in today's noisey world.

The book I mention is 'Digital Minimalism' by Cal Newport.

19 Oct 2023#61 - Embracing our shared humanity and our fight for justice00:18:23

It's easy in this intense time to lose focus on our shared humanity, as we witness a rise in division, hate and wars.

More than ever, it's crucial to recognise our shared humanity and work compassionately towards a world where everyone is free, safe, and at peace.

In today's episode I speak about my experiences of the recent referendum and how I worked towards seeing our shared humanity, despite a divisive, nasty campaign. I also open up about turmoil in Israel and Palestine.

Despite a predominantly western Governmental stance to stay silent on the war crimes happening against Palestinians, we must not lose sight of our shared humanity and do what we can to speak up for those who are oppressed.

Take good care of you beautiful - the world is intense. Stay aware of the bias in mainstream media, use your privilege to voice your dissent to your Government where possible, and always remember we are in this together.

11 Jan 2024#69 - The year of yes00:31:37

Welcome to 2024 folks. Now more than ever we need to follow the calls of our souls and take action on what matters to us.

In this episode, I give you an honest view into the reflections I’ve been doing as we transition into a new year. 

Fuelled by inspiration from Shonda Rimes ‘The Year of Yes’ and the practical kick up the butt from ‘Manage your Day-to-Day’, I have decided to take more initiative in my life and work this coming year.

I share about how I will do things differently and take more action. 

This is a deep dive into the importance of self-reflection, setting manageable goals, and taking steps out of our comfort zone. 

We close this episode with a prayer for Palestine as South Africa takes its case to the International Court of Justice. 

May you be able to hold space for the duality and complexity in these intense and revolutionary times - and have the courage and commitment to do what you are called to do. 

Love Mandie x

28 Mar 2024#79 - Trust the process: figuring it out one step at a time00:23:25

Potential plot twist time! In this episode I share my recent career developments.

After some recent conversations sparking new ideas and feelings, and the lure of greater financial stability mixed with a desire to feel a part of a team again, I am back exploring the idea of getting what I affectionately call ‘a jobby job’. 

I reveal the details of one opportunity that is unfolding in a hospital philanthropy team - how it came about unexpectedly and my current thoughts and feelings about it. 

I am repeating this prayer about this opportunity:

"Dear God (or Divine/ Universe/ Higher power of your choosing)

Please bless it or block."

05 Aug 2022#2 - Serendipity + surrender | Backstory pt. 200:26:56

In this episode, I reveal what took my professional journey ‘off course’ and stalled my work in Soul Strategies for the past 5+ years - and what this means to you and your own journey of following your soul to find your calling.  

My recent years are proof of how powerful our intuition is, how we can purposefully create magical serendipity and how incredible things unfold when we surrender and trust the flow of life.

The story begins and ends with me volunteering in disaster recovery after major flooding in the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia. I share how I quit a long standing role of mine without knowing what was next.  I also share how I landed the role as Senior Cast Coordinator for the GC2018 Commonwealth Games Ceremonies watched by over 1 billion people around the world (despite never working in casting, ceremonies or a large scale event before) and what led me to managing a disability dance company afterwards.

Most importantly, how this has shaped my work as I return back to Soul Strategies and supporting the next wave of changemakers to find their callings that change our world.

Because now is the time to step up.

Your feeling there is something more, is your soul telling you there is!  

I am here to support you. Let's create a better world together.

10 Aug 2022#4 - Passion is not the key to your calling00:22:01

There's a cliched phrase "find your passion and you'll find your purpose". In this episode, I dispel the myth that passion is the key to finding your calling by sharing my own story about trying to pursue something I was passionate about it and how my soul had other plans.

It’s my intention to help you feel reassured that it doesn’t matter if you don’t know what your passion is or you have many things you're passionate about. I will also give you some tips on things to try instead!

09 Nov 2022#17 - Bailey Seamer's 5000km mission for mental health awareness00:55:15

Bailey Seamer is a woman on a mission.  Her 'Wandering Minds Walk' is a 5000km trek along the east coast of Australia to raise mental health awareness and fundraise $100,000 for the Black Dog Institute.

When first diagnosed with bipolar disorder, Bailey was looking for any glimmer of hope that she could have a good life with it. When failing to find many good role models, she has set out to be the kind of person she needed when she was younger and suffering.

She wanted to do something that would prove the capabilities of people with mental illness.

She set off in May 2022 and is traversing the eastern coastline of three states to the most northern tip of Cape York Peninsula in Queensland.

When she arrived in my hometown, I interviewed her about her mission.

We dive into her own personal journey with a mental illness, how she came up with the idea for this trek and how she followed through on it! Along with discussing the challenges she faces and how it's changing her, and the ways people and serendipity are supporting her journey.

She also shares her lived experience, perspective and advice on how to cope with challenges and also support people struggling with mental health issues.

This is one moving conversation with an incredible woman.

I expect you will enjoy it as much as I did! 

Help Bailey reach her target of raising $100,000 for the Black Dog Institute at:

The Black Dog Institute is dedicated to understanding, preventing and treating mental illness.

To connect to Bailey or offer her support, head to:

She is available to visit schools, mental health services, local clubs, aged care facilities and anyone who wants to connect either about mental health or undertaking an epic adventures.

08 Feb 2023#27 - Feel unqualified or not good enough? Listen up! 00:29:16
I am dishing up firecracker encouragement to you in this episode. The research is clear - women will not put themselves forward for positions and opportunities unless we are convinced that we can meet 100% of what is required. I imagine it would been similar for anyone who doesn't present as a cis het white man.  If we want more power and influence to shift to the marginalised and those working for the greater social good, then we need to start putting ourselves forward and pursuing opportunities and creating/launching/starting things that stretch us out of comfort zone and beyond our previous experiences.  I've built a career out of doing things way outside of my comfort zone and areas of experience. Some have worked out, some didn't. But I live to tell the tale.  I share some practical things you can do to stop your inner critic from limiting your options (and the exact thing I do when it starts talking shit about me) and how to start to believe in yourself more. Claim your space gorgeous one - you are way more capable and qualified than you give yourself credit for. In fact, all you have done up until this point in your life, more than qualifies you for what your soul is calling you to next.  Love Mandie x Ways to stay in touch: I dish up (mostly) daily goodness on the 'gram at www.instagram.com/soulstrategies Sign up for irregular love letters from me via email at https://soulstrategies.co/#newsletter (including a free meditation) Please leave a comment, review or share if you enjoy the show.

The importance of having a support system of like-minded individuals while pursuing your calling, dreams and living authentically cannot be underestimated.

Sparked by a recent insight from my Be Brave program, I highlight the value of a supportive network and dive into how to nurture one of your own.

Of course I delve into the value of enlisting the support of the Universe to help you build your network, along with following your intuition, and ways to actively seek connections.

You deserve to be connected, valued, seen, appreciated and supported by people who love you and cheer you on (and you do the same for them!).

26 Apr 2023#38 - It's never too late (and you're not too old) to pursue your calling00:24:35

Are you feeling like you're too old to pursue what your soul is calling you to do or that you've missed your chance to make your mark?

In this episode, I dive into (aka lovingly kick your butt) into believing it's never too late to pursue your dreams and find your purpose in life.

I give tips to help you let go of comparison and capitalist conditioning, and instead focus on your own unique journey and potential.

Remember, the fear of time running out is just a product of the mind, and your soul knows that there is plenty of time to achieve what you desire in this lifetime and beyond.

So, keep the faith and trust in the guidance of your heart and soul and go make magic happen!

22 Mar 2023#33 - Art of surrendering to your soul-led path00:20:14

It feels like my whole life is one huge practice in letting go of what I think should be happening and surrendering to the direction the divine and my soul wants to take me.

I am continually surprised by the direction of my life when I surrender it over - and have ended up with opportunities I never would have dreamed up as possible for myself.

That is what the soul-led path calls us to do - surrender and let go of control - and open up to new and amazing possibilities.

In this episode, I discuss the biggest enemy of surrender and the gifts of it when you commit to it.

What is on the other side of surrender is a life beyond your wildest imagination.

24 Jun 2024#87 - Finding your purpose: can psychic readings help?00:21:00

Is it as simple as having a psychic tell you your purpose and hey, presto, you’re sorted? Join me as we unpack this as I dive into the role of psychic readings in revealing one's life purpose and my own personal experience. 

I recount a serendipitous encounter with an ‘inter-dimensional channel’ in Sedona, Arizona, who channelled information about my purpose. 

I reveal how the insights landed at the time and how they have evolved over time. 

This experience has taught me how psychic guidance can be used as a starting point for inner exploration but you must remain open to the unfolding journey of life. 

Psychics filter and interpret information through their own personal lens, so stay open-minded when interpreting these insights. 

Learn the importance of trusting your own journey and inner guidance while being open to mystic insights, knowing that fulfilling your true calling unfolds in divine right timing. 

Tune in for advice on integrating psychic information into your own life and the ongoing process of self-discovery and development.

14 Dec 2023#67 - Being the change we wish to see in the world00:23:56

Being the change we wish to see in the world has long been something I've aspired to... but it's taken me on a big healing journey to do embody it in a deeper way.

In this episode, I share more of my journey to 'being the change' and explore what it means on an individual and practical level.

It comes with a trigger warning as I discuss my substance abuse and an eating disorder, and how I found healing and self-love. My healing journey involved diving deep to face the parts of myself I was trying to avoid. It's the necessary shadow work we all must do as we embody more love for ourselves and one another.

I discuss the importance of developing healthy habits and routines, as well as compassion and forgiveness in shaping our relationships with ourselves and the world.

Each of our healing journey will be unique. But I hope in hearing more of mine, it gives you hope and encourages you to continue your courageous path and journey towards greater love and peace.

Because as the Dalai Lama said "we won't obtain peace in the outer world until we find peace within ourselves".

What you can expect:

00:00 The importance of inner peace

01:07 My personal healing journey

02:29 My struggles of addiction and the path to recovery

06:31 The power of self-love

21 Jun 2023#45 - Your calling is a journey, not a destination (so buckle in for the ride!)00:26:00

Your calling is a journey and process of growth, discovery and evolution.

It’s not a fixed destination that you reach then you’re done (phew! got my purpose - sorted!). Rather it’s a dynamic, non-linear (sometimes nonsensical and messy) ongoing process of exploration.

This journey requires you trust in your inner guidance, which will lead you to the next right step (and then the next; and the one after that).

I share in this episode how my own journey of finding and following my calling is changing, the shift occurring as I strive less and surrender more, and a deeper level of acceptance and peace I am finding in my journey.

I also share how to prepare yourself for the journey ahead.

Remember, the universe is conspiring in your favour and orchestrating things for you to live your divine plan and purpose.

This is one hell of ride - buckle in!

Some of the things I mentioned are:

In this episode we discuss the ways it manifests, where it comes from and what to do about it.

18 Jan 2023#24 - Truth about my career in 2022 and what's ahead00:33:45

As the new year kicks into gear, I give you a behind the scenes peek into the highs and lows of my career in 2022 and the big change ahead for me this year. 

I share the twists and turns of my own journey - what things didn't go according to plan, how I fell prey to a common fear and almost wound up in a role that was not aligned with who I am these days or where I want to be, and how my intuition led me back to what lights me up (eventually). 

The path to our highest calling and following our hearts isn't always linear. 

I share my insights into surrendering and trusting the unfolding, sometimes messy looking, journey.

Am also sitting at the precipice of a big life change this year as I prepare to make another huge leap into the unknown.

I have so many plans on creating valuable content, programs and offers to support you in finding and following your soul's calling this year. 

Let's do this beautiful!

27 Apr 2024#82 - Facing life's unexpected challenges with openness and equanimity00:19:10

In this episode we dive into the art of dealing with life's unforeseen challenges.

I share my latest personal process rooted in my profound connection to trees and my distress in response to my landlord’s plans to remove all the trees in our backyard. 

This experience becomes a gateway to a broader conversation about life's unpredictability and how seemingly adverse situations can be leading you to what you need in ways you can’t foresee. 

Inspired by the Zen farmer parable, I reflect on the importance of embracing change, trusting in a greater unfolding and flow of life, and maintaining equanimity during difficult times.

We need this now more than ever as we collectively face the distressing continuing genocide of Palestinians and the oppressive forces against the recent student protests.

Other episodes I mention are:

  • #54 - Have faith things will work out (even at the 11th hour!)

  • #10 - Dealing with sudden changes to work and life

  • #32 - Handling uncertainty and liminal space with more ease and less stress

In this episode:

01:10 A Personal Story: My Love for Trees and an Impending Loss

04:40 Finding Peace and Surrender in the Midst of Loss

06:01 Exploring New Beginnings: The Search for a New Home

Welcome to the Find your Calling podcast! In this episode I open up about my own journey to finding my calling and creating a purpose-driven life and what you can expect from this podcast.

You’ll get the lowdown on why people in a nursing home thought I was criminal in my teenage years; the impact my dad’s death had on my search for meaning; the realisation I had at a beach that led me to leave my marriage to my childhood sweetheart; how I wound up living off the grid in a forest near Byron Bay Australia and what led me here.

I also lift the lid on why I felt censored while coaching and lecturing about careers at a university in sharing what REALLY helps us find our purpose and higher calling.

This podcast is all about supporting you to find your way through the uncertainty and confusion to what your soul is calling you to do, and finding the courage to follow it. 

Your soul knows the way and there are magnificent adventures ahead for you when you trust it.

Your feeling there is something more, is your soul telling you there is!

I am here to support you find what is for you.

15 Mar 2023#32 - Handling uncertainty and liminal space with more ease and less stress00:24:23
A liminal space is the time between the 'what was' and ‘what’s next’ – it's a place of transition. Sometimes we catapult ourselves into uncertain liminal spaces - like leaving relationships, moving, quitting or ending jobs, businesses, projects. And sometimes we are thrust into liminal space through job loss, redundancies, our partners ending relationships, businesses folding, illness, or losing someone we love.  But one thing for certain is, when you follow your soul to what you are called to do, and who you are called to be, then you are going to encounter uncertainty when you either leap (or are forced) into the unknown.  We dive into how to get more comfortable with the uncertainty so you can feel more calm and less stress in the transition. I also discuss the importance of following the call/ pull to something, and not pushing to make things happen.  The journal prompts I share are: Have you tried to push and force something into happening on your terms in the way that you wanted? If so, what did you learn from that experience? Did it work? And, if it didn't work, in what ways didn't it work?  What times that you have felt called or a pull towards something? How did that feel? How did that unfold and work out for you?  What times have you pushed yourself out of your comfort zone, and how did that work out for you?

Soul gifts are the innate qualities, strengths, and talents you have brought into this life. They come so naturally and easily to you that you may overlook their unique value. 

Recognising and owning soul gifts will help you to understand your purpose and contribution to humanity, especially during transformative times. 

In this episode, I share specific steps you can take to identify your soul gifts. 

I also share my own personal experience on how I came to recognise one particular soul gift I have that helps people feel safe - and how fulfilling I am finding it now that I am expressing it in a bigger way by offering more 1:1 coaching these days. 

Recognising and owning your soul gifts is your pathway to building your confidence, and increasing meaning and fulfilment in your life.

12 Apr 2024#81 - I got a job! My top lessons in a soul-led career00:34:45

Yet again, I am humbled to see how the unfolding path in front me is different from what I expected.

This latest plot twist involves me getting a job! 

Despite my extensive experience as a career coach and having clear goals, I faced unexpected challenges in my job search when I moved to Melbourne eight months ago.

However, through these experiences, I learned the importance of trust, intuition, surrendering to divine timing, and being open to jobs that look different from what I initially expected. 

In this episode, I delve into my insights and the lessons I learned about divine guidance, the importance of being open and flexible in our expectations, and how everything that happens is a part of a bigger plan for our highest good. 

I discuss the transformative power of letting go of control, the importance of divine timing, and how these principles can apply to you in your own job search and career transitions. 

Other episodes I mention are:

  • #48 - Want a new job? Start here (part 1)

  • #55 - Want a new job (part 2)? Know thy self

  • #56 - Want a new job (part 3)? Explore your options

  • #41 - Leonie Dawson’s soul-led life as a $13 million entrepreneur and philanthropist

23 Aug 2022#6 - Signs you have found your calling00:22:45

When you don’t feel you are working on purpose and with a higher calling, it can feel like you aren’t living up to your potential. It is painful to be in that place. It can also feel daunting to carve out a path that feels aligned and true to you, especially when it veers off the conventional path. So how do you know you’re on track? In this episode I discuss some signs that will tell you are on the right path, as well as some clues to follow that will lead you to more meaning, happiness and freedom in your career and life.

Your feeling there is something more, is your soul telling you there is!

15 Feb 2024#74 - Finding hope in challenging, dark times00:22:01

It can be easy to lose hope and feel despairing in the face of what we are currently facing in the world. 

We are in the midst of our collective dark night of the soul, which is a necessary (and painful) catalyst for our collective transformation and growth. 

In this episode, I delve into what is keeping hope alive in my heart during these times. 

I share my firsthand experiences of seeing the gifts in disaster and how they help to open our hearts and awaken us to our shared humanity. 

Disasters of all natures (including man-made created ones like genocide) serve as a means for us to strengthen our collective power, which destablises the systems and structures that have oppressed our power until now. 

Tune in and cultivate your hope, harness faith in a divine higher power, and trust in the power of love as the strongest force known to us.

New Meditation! 

Finding hope in challenging times 

Shift from pain and despair to greater hope and strength in only 12 minutes! 

This guided meditation has been specifically created to help you meet these times we are facing.

It will help you discover the transformative power of hope, and help you feel less alone as we unite in solidarity against genocide, oppression and the power structures robbing us all of living in true freedom and peace.

14 Jun 2023#44 - The dangers of burnout on the path to your calling00:27:43

The alternative title to this podcast was "burnout - when you are a dried up sultana with no juice left".

As a high achiever with a type-A personality, I have in the past often neglected my own needs for rest and recuperation. Which is supported by societal pressure to constantly move forward at an unsustainable relentless pace.

And yet, that kind of pace and pressure leads to burnout.

And my soul just ain't up for that anymore.

Burnout will leave you feeling exhausted, disillusioned, and detached from work - and life!

I share my recent experience of it - and previous bouts of it - and what I've learned in the process.

This episode is your invitation to rest, recharge, and seek whatever support you need to relax, enjoy your life more and look after yourself.

By prioritising your own wellbeing, your clarity, creativity and a sense of purpose and meaning can emerge when you feel more filled up and less depleted.

As you are soul searching and navigating a life of deeper meaning and impact, making choices that are supportive, nourishing, and kind to yourself will ultimately lead you towards your greatest potential.

The fab work I mentioned is:

15 Nov 2023#63 - Love in action & our collective power00:21:50

On my spiritual journey, I've come to see that while "love and light" are essential, they alone cannot create the positive change we yearn to see in the world.

In this episode, I share the pivotal point at which I realised that love is not passive in the face of injustice, but the active force that can shape our world when put into action.

I also share a little known story of how myself and the original co-founders of a community volunteer flood recovery effort were bullied by government agencies to stop in our early days.

But we didn't stop. And what unfolded serves as a reminder of the profound impact of standing up for what is right and the incredible power that lies within collective action.

My heartbreak over the current situation in the Middle East has only grown over this past month. It's not enough to be a passive observer; we need to take action. We need to use our voices and our privilege to advocate for peace and an end to the occupation of Palestine.

I want to inspire you believe in the power we have when we unite in action with love as a guiding force, knowing that together, we have the ability to create positive change on a global scale.

23 Nov 2023#64 - Shine bright, spread love: how is your soul calling you?00:16:06

I believe that our purpose on Earth is to grow in love and consciousness and inspire others to do the same. We hear the cliched phrase "love and light" in spiritual circles, but what does it mean?

In this episode, I explore two practical ways to incorporate "love and light" into your life.

Firstly, your light is needed now more than ever. We light up the world by following what lights us up. By embracing what lights you up, you not only step onto your true path, but contribute to a brighter world.

Recent global events have deepened my sense of connection with others. It's making me slow down, be more aware of those around me, and find ways to share love, kindness and care.

Let's create a world where everyone can freely shine their own light.

22 Feb 2024#75 - Bridging worlds: communicating with your ancestors00:25:10

Your ancestors are with you - loving, supporting, guiding and protecting you. And they are always trying to communicate with you.

In this episode, I discuss the ways in which you more intentionally start to receive messages from your ancestors.

I am tuning in from Adelaide for this episode and have been retracing my family roots, including finding ‘Amanda Street’ named after my great grandmother (who I am named after!).

I share what I learnt from the book 'Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe' by Laura Lynne Jackson and my exploration of communication with my ancestors through signs.

We dive into the comforting presence of ancestors, as affirmed by signs they send us, and our ancestral support, encouragement, and joy over our personal and spiritual growth.

00:00 What the Hell I am doing in Adelaide

00:59 Retracing Roots and Family History

26 Jul 2023#50 - Love or Fear: Which One is Running Your Life?00:18:51

In my early 20's I had a life-changing coaching session. The coach introduced me to the idea that every emotion can be traced back to the root of either love or fear. This concept has since become a guiding principle in my life.

From that time, I made the conscious choice to be led by love, not fear, even when it meant making difficult decisions like leaving my marriage.

Your soul will always call you to love - and expansion, joy, fulfilment, peace and connection. It wants to grow and evolve.

And hey, fear will still be present when following your soul's calling, but it's important to discern between the fear that helps you grow and the fear that holds you back.

So ask yourself - "what would you do if you weren't afraid?" - and consider whether you're being driven by love or fear in your life.

04 May 2024#83 - The world is a mirror: healing for global transformation00:26:22

The world is our mirror, reflecting back our inner states of consciousness.

The Dalai Lama said “we'll never see peace in the outer world until we have peace within ourselves”

So as we face rising global unrest, one of the most powerful things we can do is continue not only to show up and take the actions we are called to take to contribute to change, but do the inner work to embody the peace we want to see in the world. 

In this episode, I share about that time I googled for ‘spiritual psychic help’ and the surprising life-changing revelation it revealed that changed my life.

It helped me understand how each of us taking radical responsibility and doing our inner healing forms a critical part of our healing our world.

  • #69 - Year of Yes

  • #5 - Dealing with worry about the future

11 Oct 2022#13 - Start before you feel ready00:10:58

It can feel like an overwhelming idea to take action before you feel ready.

Because logic will tell you that you need to wait.
Wait until you feel more confident.
Until you know all the answers.
Until you are clear on where it's all going to lead.
Until it feels like you know exactly 100% what you are doing.
Until you have more knowledge/ qualifications/ experience.

But truth is, that inner voice calling you, knows you are ready.
It knows you already have everything you need right now to do the thing.
Even though you really, really, really don't believe it.

In this episode I share about that time I started something and how I really, really didn’t feel ready and the trials I went through to overcome my fear and feelings of not being ready. 

As well as sharing a recent story of a client who took action despite not feeling ready and what happened as a result.

Your feeling there is something more, is your soul telling you there is! I am here with you every step of the way.

01 Feb 2023#26 - You will need to end things and its okay to grieve00:20:29

Your soul will call you to end things. It's inevitable. 

You will leave jobs, relationships, friendships, projects and homes/ areas you've loved and lived. 

The path to your true and highest calling means taking leaps of faith into the unknown. This means saying goodbye to what was, as you pave the way forward to what your heart and soul desire. 

Just because it feels sad to end something, doesn't mean it's not meant to end. 

In today's episode I share more about my own process of moving out of an area I've called home for 14 years and the importance of giving space for the feelings that endings bring.

28 Jun 2023#46 - It's okay to be a beginner!00:28:12

Are you afraid to do something new because you're worried about being a beginner? Or do you hold yourself back out of fear what others will think as you learn and grow in a new role, profession, or endeavour?

In this episode, we explore the power of giving yourself permission to start afresh and learn new things.

I share feedback from workshop attendees of my recent confidence workshops who found this mindset shift invaluable in overcoming self-doubt and taking action on what they know they're called to do.

I also share multiple experiences of landing myself in the land of being a beginner professionally - and how I've lived to tell the tale!

21 Sep 2022#10 - Dealing with sudden changes to work and life00:21:09

In this episode I dive into how to handle sudden changes in work and life. I have observed in my own life - and those of many clients - that at some point we will have a change thrust upon us that immediately and abruptly shifts the trajectory of our lives. Job loss or redundancy is a big sudden change in your career; but relationship breakdowns, illness or accidents or even losing someone you love can all impact the direction you take in your work and life.

They are big experiences that come with natural amounts of shock and pain. But they can serve a higher purpose, if we’re open and willing to shift our perspective about them.

I share about two of the occasions I lost my job suddenly and what happened when I finally surrendered control and trusted in a divine plan.

I also share suggestions of what you can do if you're currently dealing with sudden and unexpected changes in your life or work.

Hope this one reassures you and uplifts you.

30 Nov 2023#65 - Release resistance and let the good flow your way00:29:09

We are always being guided to what is right for us. But if we are in resistance, we block the highest good flowing towards us.

So we dive into what causes this resistance and how to release it.

I also give you the update on what has been unfolding in my life since moving to Melbourne. Yet again, I am reminded that "my plans" don't always align with that the divine has in store for me.

So I continue to learn the importance of being open to the unexpected and the "plot twists", and not be too attached to a specific plan.

It's all about embracing the unexpected, trusting the divine, and being open to the unfolding mystery of life.

12 Apr 2023#36 - How deeply can you trust?00:30:23
Once again, life has reminded me that it doesn't matter what plans I make, my soul and the divine can have another. So how deeply can you trust - trust yourself and the divine. It can feel scary to let go of control.  As though you are free falling. And yet, your soul knows the way to all your heart's desires. To the impact you want to make; and to a life that lights you up.  So trust it knows the way.  Be brave enough to trust your inner knowing.  Even when the path ahead is unclear.  I dive into my recent experience of trusting when 'my' plans got interrupted - and all the magic and gifts that unfolded. ✨️ Ways to stay in touch: • I dish up (mostly) daily goodness on the 'gram at https://www.instagram.com/soulstrategies/ • Sign up for irregular love letters from me via email at https://soulstrategies.co/#newsletter (including a free meditation as my gift to you) Please leave a comment, review or share if you enjoy the show.

05 Apr 2023#35 - How to dream bigger than ever before00:34:01

I just finished a seven-week Storytelling Impact Lab that brought together researchers, community organisers and film makers to dream up visionary, disruptive ideas that reimagine storytelling and its power to create change.

The mandate was - dream big! Don't worry about the how! The result was a melting pot of incredible ideas for change.

What the world needs more than anything is for changemakers to think big.

But if you struggle to think big and imagine what's possible for your work, impact and life, you are not alone. Many find it challenging to go beyond limiting beliefs, and conditioning of their childhoods and a society that encourages 'playing safe and small'.

In this episode I share 8 concrete steps to help you dream bigger.

These steps will help you broaden your perspective on what's possible, and inspire you to rise to your potential, and access new levels of thought. They will help you shift your identity around who you are in the world and what's possible for you.

The journal prompts I share are:

  • If you could wave a magic wand and change one thing about your life or the world, what would it be?

  • “Wouldn’t it be cool if….”

  • Imagine there is no concern about money, time, and talent and list anything and everything that you have ever desired to experience or anything that has ever captured your interest.

  • What do I want the next chapter of my life to feel like?

These prompts are your opportunity to really stretch, go big, be as outrageous as you like - and don't worry about the how!


Infinite Possibilities Meditation

This free meditation will access your subconscious in a state of relaxation and open to new possibilities that help you realise your potential and dreams.

It includes 7Hz binaural beats that creates a transformative theta brain wave state that has been associated with subconscious thinking, intuition, creativity and dreaming. 

It's my gift to you!

19 Oct 2022#14 - Choosing courage over comfort00:27:07

It’s clear that courage is essential in finding and living your soul’s calling.

Brene Brown said integrity is choosing courage over comfort.

Integrity to me is living aligned with your truth, values and heart. Being true to yourself and what you want in life. But that requires courage, which isn’t action without fear, it is action despite fear.

Often the most enduring and persistent life regrets involve unfulfilled dreams and potential.

Your soul didn’t come here to play small and safe and settle in life. Your soul wants to experience your full creative power and potential. To expand, grow, learn and love life and others with a full open heart and joy. 

In this episode we dive into the courage you need to follow your soul and realise your potential and some tips to help you tap into your courage.

Journal prompts and reflections from this episode are:

  • When you look back on your life, how do you want to feel and think about it?
  • What will make you proud and satisfied about your life?
  • What do you aspire to do and experience?
  • What is the cost of you choosing security and comfort in life and work?
  • When you reflect on how you want to view yourself and life at the end of it, what different choices do you need to be making now?

The book I mentioned is ‘Feel the fear and do it anyway’ by Susan Jeffers

But when you sync with your soul, and be guided by and have faith in a higher power, then things flow into your work and life with so much more ease.

In today's episode I share the key steps in soul-led manifesting to the work and life of your deepest desires.

12 Jul 2023#48 - Want a new job? Start here (part 1)00:26:44

As I look ahead to moving to a new city, I've decided I want a job. And I am going to take you on the journey with me each step of the way.

In the past 13 years all the roles I've had were helped along by being in the right place at the right time (hello luck and serendipity!). I have also been offered every job I have interviewed for. I am excited to see where I am being guided and to show you what's possible in your own search for a role that is more fulfilling, creates an impact, pays you want you want and makes you feel like you're exactly where you need to be.

Today's episode is the starting point. It's the foundation of the entire process.

What would shift in your job search process if you believed the perfect job for you already exists?

Not only that it exists, but that your soul knows what it is and the Divine is guiding you each step of the way to connect with it.

We attract opportunities that match our vibration. So it's crucial to tend to our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs when starting out in the job search process - and that's what I dive into in this episode.

16 Aug 2023#53 - Permission to pivot00:18:12

In this episode I share three stories of people who have done massive pivots in their careers.

It goes to show that you could be called to go in any direction.

So be open to the mystery and whatever direction you're really truly called - because you just never know, perhaps you'll be called to pivot in a similar way to these gorgeous people!

23 Feb 2023#29 - Be bold & take more risks00:34:32

A saying goes "take the risk or lose the chance" and in today's episode I speak about multiple recent experiences I've had of taking risks to seize opportunities as they arise. They've definitely stretched me out of my comfort zone.

I also share the major lessons of these risks so you can apply the learnings in your own journey to finding and following your soul's calling.

We dive into the need to follow our instincts, be open to opportunities, override self-doubt and trust the path unfolded by divine power.

I encourage you to be bolder, braver and more courageous and take more risks - as you never know where they may lead.

There is certainly magic outside your comfort zone (even if getting there feels damn uncomfortable!).

26 Oct 2023#62 - Rest, recharge, and rise: finding your centre amidst the chaos00:23:05

Taking care of yourself doesn't mean you're turning a blind eye to the problems of the world; it means you're preparing yourself to be part of the solution.

For those of us in the long game of creating a better world, we need to see this as a marathon and replenish ourselves and look after one another along the way.

In this episode, I share some of the things that are helping me to stay balanced and calm amidst increasingly turbulent and distressing times.

I mentioned The Nature Oracle deck soon to be released - you can check it out https://www.instagram.com/claireswinneyauthor/
