Filly is joined with the trail-blazing Jen Dugard, a fitness professional passionate about serving mums and exercise trainers. I came across Jen back in 2021 - she was one of our coaches in a business program we were doing back then. What drew me to Jen was her fierce passion and advocacy for mums to receive safe exercise advice and prevent pelvic-floor related injuries that are rife in the exercise world. I had my own personal experience of a horrible injury 6-months postpartum in the gym, which caused ongoing chronic pain for years and fed other body burnout symptoms. I don’t want any other woman to experience this, so I knew we needed to get Jen onto the podcast. Get ready for sooooo much gold insight into your body - especially the unknown regions of your pelvic floor! (Oh, and a VERY personal story about how I peed my pants in public recently - eek!!!).

About Jen Dugard

Jen Dugard is the founder of MumSafe™️, creator of the Pre & postnatal certification Safe Return to Exercise™️ and author of the book “How to Love your Body as much as your Baby.”

Through MumSafe™, Jen connects mothers with certified trainers, fostering a supportive network across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the UK.

She also serves on the board of AUSactive.

In today’s episode, Jen talks to Filly about:

• Her post-natal depression after becoming a mum, rooted in a conflict of “identity” and worthiness
• How Jen is creating a safe space for mums & exercise professionals to connect and exercise safely
• The 5 imbalances that can occur in mums that every woman should know before exercising
• Hypotonic and hypertonic pelvic floor - signs and symptoms
• Jen digs into Filly’s pelvic floor, and a recent “wet pants” incident
• How you can support your pelvic floor

Chris & Filly are joined with one of our amazing Ending Body Burnout Method clients. Grace reached out to us initially as she was exhausted by her over-doing, over-responsible patterns, and was fed up with her life. She had a previous history of breast cancer, going 110% trying to “fix” the root-cause, as well as debilitating vestibular migraines that would often leave her flat in bed for 17 hours a day. We dive deep into her ROOT-root-cause that was affecting EVERYTHING, and how she continued to lean into the process, even when things got tough. And how she came out the otherside a well, balanced, calmer, more relaxed woman! 

These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Grace, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. 

In this episode, Grace chats to Chris & Filly about:

• Her previous health history of breast cancer, and how it tipped her over into fearfully trying to “fix” the root-cause
• Body systems we tested when she first started the Ending Body Burnout Method, to uncover fight-flight imbalances
• The moment Grace discovered the ROOT-root-cause - a belief she was selfish and irresponsible - and how it had driven patterns of proving she was responsible by trying to fix everyone and the world
• Why these beliefs are often created in what seems like a “benign” event
• How Grace rewired & reprogrammed deep dysfunctional beliefs, patterns and essentially brought her self and body back to safety, and switched off symptoms
• Why she went 5-weeks without ANY vestibular migraine attacks after clearing past trauma, why the symptoms returned, and the further work she needed to do to create safety
• What was different about the Ending Body Burnout

Filly is joined with one of our gorgeous Ending Body Burnout Method clients. Kerrie has been soooo much fun to work with. She came to us in the depths of burnout from a lifetime of over-doing (triggered by deep subconscious beliefs of being unlovable & hidden trauma). She was also struggling with mood swings, anger, irritability, body pain, insomnia, and a lifelong issue with fructose intolerance & food sensitivities. When Kerrie joined our program, she almost ran-away a month in (more on this in the episode!), but she stuck in there and got remarkable results. EVERYTHING is better - her body, her mind, her relationships, and the way she lives her life. 

These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Kerrie, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. 

In this episode, Kerrie chats to Filly about:

• The depths of her body burnout before she reached out to Chris & Filly, and how the state of her body and mind was destroying her relationships and her life
• How she almost “bolted” from the Ending Body Burnout Method program a month in
• We cover what showed up in Kerrie’s functional lab test results and how they were connected to her symptoms 
• Then we ask WHY? Why were the body systems burned-out in the first place?
• Kerrie opens up to her deepest ROOT-root-cause - the belief that she was unlovable - and how it was affecting the health of her body & why she had been stuck in a never-ending cycle of over-doing & rescuing others. 
• The moment she realised our Method was working - when she deeply believed she was lovable, and the acceleration that had on her healing
• How life is now - calm, cruisey, sleeping amazing, so much energy, better relationships, and eating all the things!

Filly is joined with Judith Richards, creator of the revolutionary trauma therapy, The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP). I first witnessed the power of TRTP when I had a new client do TRTP with another practitioner while she waited for lab results to come back. A few weeks later ALL her symptoms had disappeared - anxiety, depression, fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, and she was off her ADHD medication. I was mind blown, and knew I had to learn TRTP myself to help our clients get faster and more effective results! We now take all our 1:1 Private Ending Body Burnout Method clients through TRTP, and many of our Semi-Private clients add this on to their healing journey. So, I am soooo excited to have my wonderful & eclectic mentor Judith Richards on the poddie today! :)

About Judith Richards 

Judith Richards is the creator of The Richards Trauma Process (TRTP), born out of her journey of resolving decades of severe abuse and trauma. For many years she suffered extreme physical and mental illness as a result of her psychological trauma and physical injuries. AND, she never gave up. With great courage and determination, she persisted, learning and discovering that there is a way to capture a life worth living. There is a way to the other side of trauma and its myriad symptoms. The result of this journey is The Richards Trauma Process. TRTP is fast, effective and safe. It resolves the issues of extreme trauma and is equally as effective in dealing with lower levels of anxiety, depression, fears and phobias – any issue which is trauma-related. Judith now teaches TRTP to mental health professionals.

In today’s episode, Judith talks to Filly about:

• Her own body burnout journey - chronic physical & mental health issues after years of extreme abuse & trauma, to the point that she died 3 times, and ended up a homeless “bin” lady with multiple personality disorder
• What is trauma and why so many people are struggling to overcome it
• An overview of TRTP trauma therapy and how it works
• Why TRTP is so effective at clearing past distressing events quickly, in as short as 2-weeks
• Big T vs Little T, and why ALL people with body burnout & “busy” patterns have unprocessed trauma
• The power of the imagination - the language of the unconscious mind - and how it is used to transform trauma
• How Judith used the power of the imagination and beliefs to heal from hydrocephalus and kidney dysfunction
• Why reprogramming unconscious core beliefs are important for resolving trauma and trauma patterns

In this episode, Chris & Filly dive into a topic that is becoming more and more prevalent in the health space, and that is the modality and practice of “rewiring the brain” to overcome chronic health issues. You might’ve tried this practice yourself. If you haven’t had much success, you probably made one or more of these mistakes, which block healing and results. AND/OR…If you have been thinking of adding a rewiring element to your health journey, this episode is going to save you a bucket-load of time, money and energy, so that you can rewire in a way that actually works! 

P.s. If you want to go deeper into this topic, we are running a free live coaching week in September - Rewire Your Brain To Heal From Body Burnout. Register here! 

They cover:

• What it means to “rewire your brain”
• Rewiring the brain and the connection with body burnout
• Mistake #1 - It’s difficult to rewire an inflamed brain
• Mistake #2 - Not identifying and reprogramming deeper unconscious core beliefs
• Mistake #3 - Ignoring deeper trauma and emotional wounds
• Mistake #4 - Doing not being
• Mistake #5 - Lack of consistency
• Mistake #6 - Failing to monitor progress & instead focusing on symptom tracking
• Mistake #7 - Not seeking support

Chris & Filly are joined with Alpha Schulte to talk all things money mindset and its connection to body burnout. I asked Alpha onto the show because money and finances are a huge stressor for many people, and affecting health. It was the number one stress for my own self (Filly) which directly impacted my health, so understanding how to unravel your beliefs and relationship around money can be super supportive in healing body burnout. 

About Alpha Schulte

Alpha started out as a corporate tax accountant, but decided she preferred working with clients on more than just tax.  So, she moved into management consulting for over a decade.  During this time she was on her own personal development journey and studied different modalities.  Plus, she studied Financial Planning when she realised she knew very little about personal finances!  Wanting to help women with their financial literacy, she found herself working with business owners on both their money mindset and their financial literacy.  Seeing women grow in financial confidence and take control of their mindset is what she loves most!

In today’s episode, Alpha talks to Chris & Filly about:

• Her own body burnout journey and how it led her to mindset work, especially around money
• The connection between money stress and “busy”, burnout patterns
• How money affects health and wellbeing
• Unresourceful money mindsets
• The root beneath money triggers
• Rewiring the brain and our beliefs, stories and habits around money
• Raising your money energy

In this episode, Chris & Filly dive into a commonly asked question from many of our clients when they first start working with us, and that is: are my genes causing my body burnout? Should I do a genetic test? And am I destined to have health issues for the rest of my life, because of my genes?

They cover:

• What are genes, genetic mutations & genetic testing
• The MTHFR gene & how to support if mutated
• When gene testing can be supportive
• When gene testing can be harmful

Chris & Filly are joined with Christopher Knight to dive deep into the fear of loss and why this is a huge reason why people burnout and struggle to overcome chronic health issues. 

About Christopher Knight

With over 15 years of experience as a holistic practitioner, Chris has discovered that many of the stress-related illnesses plaguing people's lives today, which are largely overlooked or avoided by many health practitioners (including holistic practitioners) originates at the level of identity and Ego, otherwise known as shadow work. 

To empower his clients and fellow holistic practitioners around the globe, Chris founded Self Intelligence which offers specific skills, tools and experiences to work at the level of Ego to overcome the root cause of stress-related chronic health issues and much more.

In today’s episode, Christopher talks to Chris & Filly about:

• His own body burnout journey after a relationship & career breakdown, and how his body was speaking to him through chronic pain, exhaustion and depression
• Ego, identity & holistic healing
• The relationship between chronic stress and the victim, rescuer & perpetrator (aggressor) cycle
• How to deal with emotional triggers and create self-awareness

We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Daisy - live on our podcast. They dig into stress & multiple sclerosis flare up post losing her father, and what’s going on below the surface at the deeper “metaphysical” level.

It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Lucy for allowing us to publish this beautiful episode. And also give Daisy some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation.

You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in Sept). Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here.

In today’s episode, Chris coaches Daisy on:

• Grief after losing her father & how the stress of this has flared up her multiple sclerosis symptoms (mobility, fatigue, headaches), that previously were improving
• Stuck in guilt around not being able to do more for her family
• Childhood pressures to be the ”Golden Child” as the oldest child & how this has created adult patterns of trying to rescue others - to the expense of her health
• Coaching process to move forward: AIM - Awareness, Intention, Mindfulness (or make it happen)
• Daisy’s new mantra: I’m not your mum, go and wipe your own bum!

Filly is joined with Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna, a GP passionate about advocating for mental health. I met Dr Shiromi in a business group we are both part of, and straight away I felt connected to her and her warm and bubbly nature. I was also super impressed with her proactive steps to helping patients with mental health issues. For her it’s less about just slapping an antidepressant on a script, and instead really understanding the patient and his or her needs, and provide lifestyle and skill-set support to empower the patient. I also love that Dr Shiromi is a big advocate in patient shared-care: to build bridges and work together in the name of looking after our patients. 

About Dr Shiromi Wimalaguna

Dr. Shiromi has been a GP for 15 years. She is passionate about mental health and feels privileged to help patients who courageously step into her office to seek help. She prides herself on supporting patients make positive lifestyle changes, gain an established skill set to help manage worries, and, most importantly, find a sense of relief that all will be okay. Dr. Shiromi is a leader for change and innovation. She is the Founder and CEO of The Cloud GP. Their signature course is an online, self-directed mental health program that helps patients overcome symptoms of depression and anxiety while they wait to see a psychologist.

In today’s episode, Dr Shiromi talks to Filly about:

• Why Dr Shiromi chose to specialise in mental health and create a course to bridge the gap between GP’s and psychological help
• Why 54% of people with a mental illness do not seek support
• How to break the stigma, shame and embarrassment around mental illness
• The link between “busy”, burned-out people and mental illness
• How to take a proactive rather than reactive approach in mental health
• Foundations to create a healthy mind
• How to find a great GP

In this episode, Chris & Filly dive into a commonly asked question that almost every client who has children asks at some point: how do I NOT stuff up my kids? How can I make sure they don’t end up in body burnout, like I did? 

They cover:

• Why you can’t actually protect your kids, fully
• Parent archetypes that will stuff up kids in different ways, and the archetype that is the least likely to stuff up your kid 
• How children create self-limiting beliefs that set them up for body burnout
• Steps to help your kids create more loving beliefs about themselves, and how to help them shift dysfunctional beliefs and charged events and emotions from the body
• A personal story about a time our daughter developed tics and how we helped her reprogram the deeper root-cause and free herself from anxiety and tics

Filly is joined with the Funk’tional Nutritionist Erin Holt, a power-house functional medicine practitioner based in the USA. I was sooooooo excited when Erin said “Yes!” to coming onto our show. I have been following Erin for years on Insta, and started listening to her podcast a few years ago when I was trying to find answers to my “third” body burnout flare-up during COVID times. I felt so stuck with trying to heal my symptoms - none of the “physical” functional medicine protocols that worked last time, were working this time - and when I came across Erin’s podcast where she talks about Intuitive Functional Medicine and healing all “bodies” of the self as a WHOLE (physical, mental-emotional, spiritual, energetic), I knew I’d found the missing piece to my own healing. I’d been trying to “treat” myself and clients as if we are just one body - “physical” - when actually that is incomplete and reductionist, and will never lead to deep and long-term healing and health. Get ready for a banger!!!

About Erin Holt

Erin Holt is a functional nutritionist, Stanford-trained compassion teacher and founder of The Funk'tional Nutritionist, an online clinic and education platform that specialises in Intuitive Functional Medicine™️, blending evidence-based practices, functional lab testing, mindset & energy medicine for a unique and customised approach to women’s health. Erin is also the founder & director of the Funk’tional Nutrition Academy, a functional medicine practitioner training & mentorship. You can find Erin rabble-rousing on the The Funk’tional Nutrition Podcast, a weekly show dedicated to all things health.

In today’s episode, Erin talks to Filly about:

• Her own body burnout journey - running major perfectionism & over-achieving patterns in college, disordered eating, and then a full-blown rare autoimmune condition after the birth of her baby.
• How Erin got stuck with conventional medicine, and how she found functional medicine, which was an important “physical” piece in healing her autoimmune condition. 
• How she went deeper into healing unconscious core beliefs and deeper programming to unravel perfectionism patterns and step out of health hypervigilance.
• We talk about the limitations of standard functional medicine, and how it’s not the “panacea” that it claims to be.
• Why healing all “bodies” of the self is root-cause medicine, and when to know you’re ready for it.
• Where science meets the sacred: why both are important, and why we must learn to return back to ourselves and our body’s ancient wisdom.
• Erin runs a thriving 7-figure business and is constantly creating new things: Erin speaks into how she lives her life intuitively and energetically, to prevent going into burnout again

Filly recently turned the Big 4-0 - woot woot! In today’s episode, I dive into the top 4 things I’ve learned about healing since turning 40 (I was going to do 40 things, but thought that would be a bit too lengthy & confusing of an episode, haha!). Oh, and by the way, we’re running a special promo on my new book, Ending Body Burnout for the month of June. 40% off the book for Filly’s 40th! 

In today’s episode, Filly talks about:

• How trying to heal “perfectly” never works
• How the unconscious mind is controlling everything
• How chronic health symptoms are a loving message
• Why taking a macro and a micro lens of healing will continue to propel you to a healed version of yourself, rather than keep you stuck

Filly is joined with Dr Brooke Scheller to talk all things alcohol - the stats, how it affects the body systems & how to use food as medicine and supplementation to overcome alcohol consumption and recover to full health. This is a meaty episode, with lots of evidence-based research, as well as practical tips you can use to start implementing into your daily life.

In today’s episode, Dr Brooke talks to Filly about:

• How she was living “two lives” as a health practitioner, while also using alcohol to cope with life.

• The stats and research around alcohol being a BIG problem in our society

We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul - Lucy - live on our podcast. They dig into patterns of over-doing, diarrhoea and chronic inflammation, and what’s going on below the surface at the deeper “metaphysical” level.

You might even find yourself resonating with the struggles, beliefs and insights that come out of this conversation. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, it’s the last chance to join our Ending Body Burnout Method - doors close 28 May 9pm! Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing, which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. You can find out more about this here.

In today’s episode, Chris coaches Lucy on:

• Gathering data around case-history - chronic diarrhoea post travelling, chronic injuries & ankylosing spondylitis & inflammation, and getting no answers with standard medicine, and no real results with natural medicine so far. 
• Digging into “doing-doing-doing” patterns & fear of not achieving. 
• Diarrhoea as a symbol of being “too-fast” in all areas of life.
• Deeper beliefs around what it means about Lucy if she is chilled, relaxed & not being “productive.”
• The two parts that are in opposition with each other (Productive Lucy & Lazy Lucy), causing conflict inside the body. 
• Masculine vs feminine energy
• How both parts love Lucy, and want the very best for Lucy.

Filly is joined with one of our inspirational clients who is mid-way through our Ending Body Burnout Method 6-month program. Emily so honestly and generously shares her ending body burnout journey to overcome long-haul COVID, severe fatigue, chronic headaches and POTs symptoms, and how she is finally transforming her health by getting to the root and learning to deeply love and trust herself. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to this truly inspiring woman, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. 

In this episode, Emily chats to Filly about:

• Her journey prior to meeting Chris & Filly, as she tried to recover from long-haul COVID: the GP visits & tests (that showed everything was “fine”), the acupuncture, the naturopaths, the nutritionists, the supplements, the brain rewiring exercises. All of these things helped a little, but she knew she hadn’t found the ROOT-root-cause.
• We then go into her functional lab testing, that we do at the start of a client’s journey. Emily showed up with adrenal fatigue, mitochondria retraction, low serotonin levels, SIBO (for the third time!) and detox issues. All body system imbalances that can trigger post-viral fatigue. 
• We then dive into the “metaphysical” side of healing inside our Ending Body Burnout Method (also known as Spark). Emily shares the moment she created a dysfunctional belief about herself when she was a child - that she wasn’t “normal”, that she was less than - and how it had created over-doing patterns, and had been impacting every area of her life, including blocking her ability to heal. 
• She shares how life is now: energy levels improving each week, headaches dissipating, and finally feeling for the first time in her life a sense of being in flow, relaxed inside herself as she has learned to deeply love and trust herself.

Filly is joined with one of our truly incredible clients inside our Ending Body Burnout Method 6-month program. Linda has been an absolute joy to work with! She hobbled into her first consult with chronically high levels of inflammation to the point where she could barely move her joints. She was struggling with fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleritis, anxiety, gut issues and more. When I told here her issues was entirely solvable (a narrative she wasn’t hearing from her standard medical doctors), her eyes lit up and she dove wholeheartedly in with the BELIEF that she could heal, and the rest is history. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Linda, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. 

In this episode, Linda chats to Filly about:

• How her body & life felt before reaching out to Chris & Filly - a major rheumatoid arthritis flare up & health anxiety after selling up her property & relocating
• How Linda felt when she got back lab test results, that signalled that all the supps & restrictive diets she had been on weren’t making a lot of difference
• How 90% of her healing came from doing the deeper ROOT-root-cause metaphysical work, or what we call “Spark” inside the Ending Body Burnout Method
• The challenges of looking at dysfunctional patterns & the fear of going back to the past to face the “monster under the bed”
• The trust, joy and flow that Linda embraced as she reprogrammed & rewired
• The miracle results both physically, mentally, spiritually and in her life!

Chris & Filly are joined with Kristy Russell, one of our super inspiring clients who recently went through our Ending Body Burnout Method. Kristy so honestly and generously shares her ending body burnout journey, and how she overcame perfectionism, overwhelm, “Dragon Mum”, brain fog and allergies and histamine intolerance. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so  incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Kristy, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. 

About Kristy Russell 

You might also remember that Kristy was on our podcast last year, as she shared her chronic pain healing story, as well as her expertise in the music and mindset space in early childhood development and learning. Kristy is an early childhood specialist, music educator, mum of 2 busy boys and Musical Mindset Mentor for Early Years educators, teachers and parents. Kristy is on a mission to spread the magic and power of Music, and through her business “Moovers n Shakers Music” advocates for musical learning to be embedded into every curriculum - not as an added extra! 

In this episode, Kristy chats to Chris & Filly about:

• Her two previous body burnout experiences, and how she overcame them.
• How she started an online business in 2023, which brought with it a third body burnout, and how she felt stuck and needed someone to look through her “mask” and help her discover her deepest-root-cause and hold her in the space of healing.
• Why Kristy decided not to do functional lab testing and supplements, and instead wholeheartedly dove into the metaphysical side of healing.
• The work it took to discover her deepest root-cause belief that was causing EVERYTHING - her perfectionism, overwhelm, over-doing, brain fog, allergies, and the thing that was even keeping her stuck in her relationships and business.
• How clearing trauma was a HUGE part of her healing, and what this looked like.
• The three pivotal moments Kristy knew the Ending Body Burnout Method was working for her. 
• What life looks like now - flow and deep connection in her relationships, expansive energy within her business, calm in body and mind (and off ALL medications for allergies), and a life free of trauma triggers.
• How her healing and connection with self is rippling out into her business and profession, helping other early childhood music teachers and parents to incorporate music and mindset in learning, development and regulation.
• A special invite to Kristy’s online workshop: Routines & Rituals.

In celebration of our FREE 3-Day Training Event: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working that’s kicking off next month, we are pulling out another GUT episode. This time, we are talking all things parasites, and specifically digging into the two most common parasites we see on lab testing: Dientameoba Fragilis and Blastocystis Hominis. I choose this topic as we still get so many DM’s in our Instagram inbox, about a video on these parasites I did 5 or so years ago, all asking the same thing: How do I get rid of these parasites?! 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• What are parasites and how do they affect our health
• Dientameoba Fragilis and Blastocystis Hominis: are they actually harmful?
• How to effectively test parasites
• How to treat parasites (and no, it’s not always about “killing” them)
• Why a holistic approach is far more effective at eradicating symptoms
• Common reasons why your parasite-cleanse isn’t working
• Deeper root-causes of parasites that go beyond the body 
• Invitation to our FREE 3-day Live Event next month: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working

Filly is joined with the gorgeous Life Coach Lisa Corduff, woman of many hats! When I first came across Lisa on socials, I was drawn into her “realness”. She is raw, honest, messy, and wholeheartedly leaning into life and all its challenges - building a successful online business, past wife of an alcoholic who was in and out of rehab, widow and juggling mum of three beautiful humans. For those of you who have read my book Ending Body Burnout, you would’ve read Lisa’s most perfect foreword to my book (I literally cried big tears when she emailed me her final draft!). We talk about all of this and more on today’s episode! 

About Lisa Corduff

Lisa Corduff has built an online business helping women get unstuck and upgrade their lives in simple yet powerful ways. A solo mum of 3, she’s all about avoiding the perfectionism and overwhelm that can so easily keep us trapped. As a powerful story-teller, Lisa's recent sharing of her journey through grief is captivating and inspiring. 

In today’s episode, Lisa talks to Filly about:

• Her own body burnout (shingles!) story, back in 2017 when her then alcoholic husband Nick was in & out of rehab, and she was shouldering the responsibility as breadwinner & mother
• How Lisa worked through burnout by reconnecting with her body and by asking her self every morning: “what would Lisa like to do for herself today?”
• Why 98.6% of women never feel fully rested (based on Lisa’s 2022 survey conducted on over 1400 women)
• The underlying reason why some women struggle to prioritise sleep - even though the *KNOW* they would feel better
• Types of “Overwhelm” and how yours can lead to burnout
• How Lisa navigated grief after Nick (past husband) died & how she teaches others to do the same
• How carving out 5 hours per week for “me time” & getting creative is Lisa’s number 1 tip for getting out of overwhelming and finding “life” again

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly dig into all things hiatal hernia, a dysfunctional condition where the stomach wedges up into the oesophagus. We commonly see this in clinic, especially in clients whose bodies are feeling burned-out & acting dysfunctionally. This episode is off the back of a YouTube video we did 3 years ago, where we demonstrated how to physically release a hiatal hernia. I’m not sure what’s happened with the YouTube Algorithm God’s, but this video has recently taken off with tens of thousands of views and 100’s of questions and comments - lol! So we thought we’d do a Part 2 and respond to viewers’ questions, and in particular take you through how to care for the stomach, after performing the Hiatal Hernia Release, to prevent the stomach from popping up again. 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• What is a hiatal hernia
• What are the signs & symptoms of a hiatal hernia
• Common causes of hiatal hernia
• How to care for the stomach after performing the Hiatal Hernia Release 
• What to do when things aren’t working 
• Invitation to our FREE 3-day Live Event next month: Stress, Burnout & Why Your Gut Protocol Isn’t Working

Filly is joined with Dr Mary Barson, a truly amazing medical doctor who uses “real life” medicine to support weight loss & metabolic health. This was such a great convo - be prepared for a combo of nitty-gitty cellular details of what happens when you struggle to burn fat, as well as venturing into the MIND - and how it is THE most important thing when it comes to achieving good health & weight loss.

About Dr Mary Barson

Dr Mary Barson is a General Practitioner based on the Victorian Surf Coast. She is a weight loss doctor and expert in metabolic health. With qualifications in both Medicine and Biochemistry, Dr Mary understands all things “sciencey”. She loves interpreting scientific research, and can separate out true science from popular “woo”.

Dr Mary marries her love of human biochemistry with her psychological skills as a counsellor and hypnotherapist. Dr Mary’s passion is empowering people to improve their metabolism (for healthy and long-lasting weight loss), as well as empowering people to gain the mindset skills to make healthy changes fun, sustainable and life-long.

Dr Mary has suffered with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and used to be obese, and therefore understands how difficult this can be for many women. By making the right lifestyle changes, Mary has permanently lost weight, improved her metabolic health and her PCOS has gone into remission. 

Dr Mary is a mum to two wonderful children, she loves public speaking and has the most infectious, and very loud laugh (or so people tell her).

In today’s episode, Dr Mary talks to Filly about:

• Her own personal body burnout story, struggling with PCOS, obesity & getting burned-out in general medical practice. 
• How she moved into healing her body, losing heaps of weight, and transitioning from general practice to using real life medicine.
• The connection between burnout and weight gain. 
• The body systems that affect weight gain and difficulty losing weight.
• Why mindset is the most important thing when it comes to losing weight sustainably.
• Hypnotherapy as a weight loss tool.

In celebration of our next live book launch event in Sydney next week, we thought we’d pull from a chapter of my new book Ending Body Burnout and unpack it on the show today! We are talking all things Low-Tox Home, specifically around skincare and cleaning products. 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• Hidden toxins in skincare & cleaning products
• How toxins affect the hormones, mitochondria & neurotransmitters 
• Signs your products are poisoning you
• Filly’s story of going low-tox & creating her natural skincare & cleaning brand, Happy Biome
• How to detox from toxins - & why DIY-ing it can make you sicker
• How to not have “toxin-fear” when we live in a toxic world - and why fear is worse than the toxins themselves

Today we get personal! Well, when I see “we”, I more specifically mean “me” (Filly) - and Chris is coming along for the ride! I share a personal story of how I recently applied the “metaphysical” side of healing, that we take our clients through inside our Ending Body Burnout Method (aka “Spark”). I get personal about - yep - my boobs and a hidden belief about being a “weirdo” that was manifesting in hormonal symptoms. 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• Filly’s female hormone history - PCOS, infertility, “touchy” hormones
• How I rebalanced the female hormones through functional medicine and deeper inner work
• Recent hormone symptoms that popped up in the last 4 or so months - sore boobs, sleep issues, emotional dysregulation
• How I entered rebalancing my hormones through somatisation and inner child work
• Why my hormone symptoms remained, and how I worked through our Spark process - Reckoning, Regulation & Rewiring, and Living on Purpose - to get to the bottom of and switch off hormone symptoms
• Discovering I had a belief from teenage years, stuck in my system, that I was a “weirdo” & how I revealed, reviewed, upgraded and cleared it
• Stepping into a new identity - “I’m a ray of sunshine!” - and how hidden issues in our marriage arose to the surface, calling to be worked on
• The three “sticking points” in Spark we see clients get stuck

Filly is joined with energise-bunny Lizzie Williamson on the poddie today. I love Lizzie. We connected originally through Instagram, and every time I see her come up in my feed with her bright yellow clothes & killer smile - I SMILE TOO! Now, we all know mindful exercise is important for optimal health & recovery from body burnout, but so many struggle to implement daily movement into their schedule. Lizzie makes moving & exercising easy & achievable, even for those who sit at the desk all day, or are chronically fatigued, achy & exhausted. 

About Lizzie Williamson:

Lizzie is dubbed by the US media as ‘the excuse-buster from Down-Under’, Lizzie Williamson is the founder and author of Two Minute Moves, TEDx speaker, keynote speaker, fitness presenter and certified personal trainer. She is a regular on morning television and in global news publications with her work featured on Good Morning America, Studio 10, the Today Show, Women’s Health and Prevention Magazine. Through her fun, interactive keynotes, workshops and videos, Lizzie motivates workforces around the world to integrate micro movement breaks into their day so they can be their most engaged, energised and happiest selves. She has got hundreds-of-thousand attendees around the world stretching, moving and dancing at conferences featuring President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Arianna Huffington and the Dalia Lama. Though nothing beats dancing round the kitchen to Taylor Swift with her two teenage girls.

In today’s episode, Lizzie talks to Chris & Filly about:

• Her own body burnout story - exhausted, depleted & suffering post-natal depression after her second baby
• We dig into the deeper root-causes at play: unachievable expectations around being a mum, sleep deprivation, and pushing through because all the mothers have it altogether
• Lizzie shares the moment things turned around for her - at the kitchen table when she decided to do a ballet movement
• The alarming research around sedentary working (including in those who go to the gym or for a run once a day)
• Why sitting is the new smoking
• Why an all-or-something mindset trump an all-or-nothing mindset
• So many practical examples of how we can incorporate mini movements into our working days
• Advice for getting into movement for those who are exhausted or have very low physical capacity

In this “Connect The Dots” episode, Chris & Filly dive into a listener's case around chronic fatigue and other “weird” heath issues (such as chronic migraines & fibromyalgia) after glandular fever and a period of prolonged stress. They cover:

• The listener’s symptoms, onset of health issues & what she has tried so far to try to get to the bottom of her symptoms.
• How glandular fever can continue causing chronic immune issues long after the initial infection.
• Body systems that are affected with glandular fever
• How the immune system and nervous system fire together, and then wire together
• Why doing “metaphysical” brain retraining and unconscious healing is imperative to resolve chronic health issues
• A practical example of how you can start to bring safety back to the body at an unconscious level.

Chris & Filly are joined with the super vibrant Emma Gilmour, Alcohol Coach. This was a FASCINATING conversation all about the connection between burnout and squashing emotions and nervous system dysregulation issues down with alcohol. Do NOT expect “quick fix” strategies to force yourself to give up alcohol. Rather we go real deep into unconscious core beliefs, trauma patterns & cultural expectations which lead to struggles with alcohol.

About Emma Gilmour:

Emma Gilmour is a registered counsellor, psychotherapist, Senior This Naked Mind and Master Gray Area Drinking certified alcohol coach, living in Melbourne, Australia. Emma worked for 20+ years in corporate marketing and ran every morning before work. A working mum fuelled by adrenalin, coffee and booze, she looked like she had it all. But on the inside, she was running on empty. As she reached her mid-forties alcohol started to take more than it gave and so begun her long and very messy break-up with alcohol. Emma is an Aussie based peri-menopausal mum of neuro and gender diverse teens. She loves stand up paddle boarding, ocean swimming and has recently purchased some gorgeous hot pink roller-skates. The focus of her coaching work is women in midlife wondering what might open up for them if they took a break from alcohol.

In today’s episode, Emma talks to Chris & Filly about:

• Her past relationship with alcohol (she was a MASSIVE fan!), how she realised alcohol-use was becoming dysfunctional, and how it masked a deeper underlying burnout & nervous system breakdown
• Signs that your consumption  of alcohol is becoming a problem
• Why “will power” to quit alcohol never works - at least not long-term
• Deeper underlying roots of alcoholism - inner child, trauma, self-limiting beliefs, nervous system dysregulation
• How to regulate your nervous system and move through your emotions, so you don’t “need” to drink

• Why self-love and self-awareness is rare these days, and how lack of leads to body burnout

The stats show that Australians (and people in other western countries) rate “money worries” as their TOP STRESSOR in life. We all know that stress is a major underlying factor in body burnout & chronic health issues - so it would be remiss of us not to dig into WHY “money” is so stressful, and how you can RELEASE money issues so your body can heal. 

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about about:

• How money worries & stress affect the body systems
• How money blocks can prevent you from healing
• Why money worries is RARELY about money
• How unconscious core beliefs, trauma & past distressing events shape your relationship with money
• Filly’s “money worry” story & how it was majorly impacting her nervous system & health & how she overcame it
• Dive deeper into the connection between trauma, stress & body burnout with our FREE 3-Day Live event kicking off next week 16th Jan!

Filly is joined with Kristy Russell from Moovers n Shakers Music on today’s poddie episode. Kristy is a ray of sunshine. Everytime I see her pop up in my socials feed, I just want to smile. She’s is an accomplished music and mindfulness teacher, course creator and she has an incredible healing story of working through 30+ years of chronic pain (migraines, gut burning, fibromyalgia-like pain), to emerge deeply connected with herself.   

About Kristy Russell

Kristy Russell is a Music & Mindset mentor and founder of Moovers n Shakers Music. Kristy has a background in Behavioural Science and Early Childhood Teaching, she's also a piano teacher, musician, mum of 2, wife and speaker. 

Kristy is on a mission to spread the magic and power of Music and Mindset to as many educators and carers as possible. She believes Musical Learning and Mindfulness practices need to be embedded in our teacher training packages and in our curriculums from the earliest of ages.

In today’s episode, Kristy talks to Filly about:

• Her 30+ year journey trying to find solutions to her chronic pain - migraines, fibromyalgia, and gut issues. 
• The light-bulb moment when Kristy was told by a pain specialist that she doesn’t have to live with pain, and how she retrained her brain and body to dial down pain signals.
• How Kristy turned inwards to reconnect with herself, and in the process transformed her mental and physical health.
• Why Kristy is now training for her 1st Dan in Taekwondo.
• How music and mindfulness was a big part of her healing journey, and why she believes every child should be taught music and mindfulness to prevent body burnout and mental health issues in the future.

In today’s solo episode, Filly digs into the triggers & overwhelm that can arise during the Christmas season. Culturally we’ve experienced it, which is why this beautiful season is coined the “silly season”, and why there are so many memes floating around like this one: The stress of trying to have a happy holiday is more than I can handle!

While it’s funny and all, what is actually simmering beneath the signals your body is sending you?

In today’s episode, Filly covers:

• Why the festive season can feel so overwhelming
• Where your inner child might be showing up
• How triggers show up in the body
• 5 steps to understanding & releasing triggers
• Real life example: Filly’s story from last Christmas & how her heartburn got so bad she felt like there was a giant tennis ball stuck in her oesophagus (& how it all came back to getting triggered by her siblings!)

Filly & Chris are joined with Sharon Collon from The Functional Family. Sharon is an award-winning ADHD coach. She not only has a fascinating story to share - overcoming her own autoimmune conditions due to the daily stress of raising 3 boys with severe ADHD - but she also shares SOOOO many gold nugget tips on how to identify ADHD in yourself and children, how to work with an ADHD brain, rather than trying to “fix” it, and manageable ways to bring more calm to the nervous system. This is a must-listen for anyone with (or suspected) ADHD, if you have a ADHD family member, or you’re struggling with overwhelm, stress and ADHD-type signs and symptoms.

About Sharon Collon

Sharon is an award winning qualified ADHD coach who specialises in providing support and strategies for people with ADHD (and those that support them).  

Sharon lives in Sydney with her husband and 3 boys, all who have severe ADHD (throw in some tourette's and ODD in there too).  Her home runs at such an intensity - it needs to be filmed for a documentary series.  The daily stress burnt her out and it had a negative impact on Sharon's health.  

At a complete loss of how she was supposed to have a 'Functional Family' she began researching ADHD to try and learn more about ways to work with the ADHD brain and create a more joyful, streamlined home environment.  What followed was a series of spectacular failures, weird experiments and then formal studying ADHD.  Through it all, the Collon family found a way to make their life with ADHD work for them.  Now Sharon helps others do the same.  Whether it be through Adult ADHD Coaching, Parent Mentoring, the low cost membership, the 6 week program or the ADHD families Podcast, she provides a safe place for people with ADHD to learn about their brain and create strategies that work for them.

In today’s episode, Sharon talks to Chris & Filly about:

• Her own body burnout story - diagnosed with autoimmune psoriasis, Bell’s palsy and chronic fatigue - after the birth of her third son, and trying to raise 3 boys with severe ADHD.
• The root-cause behind her body burnout - mentally Sharon felt strong, but her body felt constantly unsafe, like it was always battling in a war-zone.
• How Sharon started working with her childrens’ ADHD brains, rather than trying to “fix” them - which then allowed her to heal and regulate her system.
• Signs that you or your children may have ADHD.
• Why having the label “ADHD” is beneficial, and can heal inner child dysfunctional beliefs of being “lazy”, “too much”, “broken”, “irresponsible”.
• The relationship between ADHD and burnout.
• Tips to support hyper-focusing, including use of technology and scheduling in time to eat and regulate the nervous system.
• Sharon shares her free resource - The Predictable Problem Worksheet - which helps to reduce stress and overwhelm.

Earlier this year, Filly did a webinar on emotional eating for Natural Medicine Week. We thought we’d share it on the poddie today, as we’ve had quite a few people feeling some feels about Christmas, and all the Christmas cheer & parties that are coming up; concerned about going “overboard” around all the sugar, and feeling the guilts about eating “unhealthy. Hopefully this episode today will give you a clear understanding about your eating patterns and help you move into the Christmas period and beyond with more clarity and calm. (FYI: emotional eating is NOT about lack of willpower)

If you’d prefer to WATCH this webinar, head here.  

In today’s episode, Filly covers:

• Imbalances in the body that lead to emotional eating
• How to detect imbalances with functional lab testing and how to treat imbalances
• WHY these body systems burnout in the first place
• Hidden dysfunctional beliefs, patterns and trauma stuck in the unconscious mind, which directly lead to emotional eating patterns.
• Q&A with live attendees

Filly & Chris are joined with Jeannie Savage, founder & author of The Strategic Bookkeeper and Cloud9 Strategic Bookkeeping. We first met Jeannie back in 2021 when we did a business program together. She is a fire-cracker, power-house entrepreneur, and has a pretty extraordinary body burnout story (severe allergies, asthma, fatigue and myriad of other symptoms) & recovery journey. She also has a special interest in helping successful entrepreneurs overcome & prevent burnout, by championing self-care and work-life-balance. 

About Jeannie Savage 

Jeannie is an award-winning Strategic Bookkeeper, author, certified trainer and speaker.

She’s the CEO and brainchild behind The Strategic Bookkeeper which exists to help Bookkeepers build and sustain a thriving practice. She’s also the CEO of Cloud9 Strategic, and bookkeeping service in Australia.

She’s been in practice for 13 years and she scaled into a lifestyle business after just 5 years – so she could live her dream on her terms – and it has been awesome! 

During her time in practice, she’s perfected everything from building a brand, attracting and retaining high value clients, selling succession products, systemising and - building, leading and managing productive teams. 

Her vision for you is ultimately to help you live your dream on your terms – through her book, podcast, booking keeping service and her mentoring program. 

In today’s episode, Jeannie talks to Chris & Filly about:

• Her body burnout story, starting right back as a “sick” kid with asthma and allergies (she died once as a kid!), and how things got worse later in life when she was suffocating in a marriage that was not working for her.
• How her sister’s death (dropped dead of a heart-attack) shook Jeannie to find happiness in her life. 
• How she overcame her health issues when she began prioritising herself, and filling up her physical, mental and spiritual cups.
• We dive deeper into her upbringing - how she was always in “survival” mode with her health and her place in her family, even “saving” the family business and growing it from 10 million to 100 million dollars a year as a teen. 
• How she helps other business owners prioritise their health, while growing profitable businesses.
