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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Hit play, take a breath, and know you're not alone in this.

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.
