In this episode I chat with Paul Eliseo, trainer and master practitioner of NLP and Hypnosis, Lifestyle Coach and total mind master. As a teen Paul suffered from Chronic Anxiety and IBS a result of stress, too much pot and binge drinking and he was on the edge of a complete nervous breakdown. Afraid and feeling like his mind was unravelling he educated himself on what was going on in his mind and started to research the mind body connection and used some NLP and Self Hypnosis techniques to pull himself out his spiral. He fell in love with self improvement and is now on a mission to empower others and teach them tools to help themselves.
We talk about him going on to becoming a personal trainer and using those same techniques to help his clients which saw him being crowned PT of the year for South Australia. He runs his own business with his fiance and recent podcast guest, Juliet Lever teaching others how to transform themselves and others through their companies Evolve Mind and Body Coaching and Relaunch.

Jeannie is no stranger to childhood trauma, growing up in South Africa abandoned by her father, dealing with an alcoholic mother and doing time in a children's home left her with her own emotional wounds to heal.

We talk about healing emotional wounds and holding yourself with compassion. People pleasing. Restoring the orders of love. Why alcohol and other addictions are a symptom of underlying unresolved issues. Techniques for grounding yourself and so much more.

In this episode I chat with Amy Armstrong from Port Fairy, Victoria who at 10 months sober at the time of recording is on a mission to have more alcohol free options in the restaurants and bars around Australia and she is succeeding, one town at a time. Amy had struggled with binge drinking for years stuck in the cycle of drinking, black out, shame, repeat she had enough and through the suggestion of a friend she joined Annie Grace's, The Naked Mind one month sobriety course and has been alcohol free since. Focusing on self love she was able to change her mindset and start to make better choices for herself. While they are not for everyone , Amy prefers alcohol free (AF) wines, beers and bubbles to get through social events and finds they make her feel as though she is not "missing out", she still has a great time minus the crippling hangovers or black outs. Amy has joined forces with the @sober_sommelier Sarah Connelly get more AF options in our hospitality venues to sign the petition please go to

In this episode I chat with one of the members of my 3 month sober challenge, Kate Morrison. Kate signed up for the challenge in the midst of some big personal challenges and changes and as a group we watched her grow from strength to strength.
In the podcast we chat about her reluctancy to do "the work" initially but how at day 50 she started to put some journalling and meditation in to practice and the real shift happened.
Kate is now fully into her meditation, mindfulness and gratitude practice and at day 98 of her sobriety is all set to tackle 12 months AF.

In this episode I chat with owner of DV Nutrition and wellness coach, Chantelle Vallay.
Fed up with her binge drinking lifestyle and wanting to pursue a wellness journey Channy lived with her foot in both worlds for some time. After a rock bottom moment proceeding a family wedding Channy decided she was done. Her life took a major turn from nurse to wellness coach and opening her own business to help inspire people to make healthy choices. It wasn't all easy though. Channy was ostracised by her best friends and was "dumped" by those closest to her because of her choices. Hurt and confused, she forged ahead, knowing that she had to do what was right for her.
Channy went on to open an incredible smoothie bar in Melbourne DV Nutrtion, to inspire people to join the wellness crusade also.
