What if everything you thought you knew about men, women and connection was just the tip of the iceberg? 

In this episode of The Bliss Republic Podcast, I sit down with Alison Armstrong from Colorado, USA - the renowned author of "The Queen's Code," to unravel the often-misunderstood dynamics between the sexes. Ever wonder why men pull away, or why women are drawn to certain relationships? What does it really mean when men value innocence, or why is vulnerability such a superpower?

Alison Armstrong is a sought-after speaker and bestselling author best known for her books The Queen’s Code and Keys to the Kingdom. Starting in 1991, she devoted her career to researching what brings out the best and worst in men - an inquiry which naturally expanded into understanding women and the intricate connections between the two. Alison’s teachings have positively impacted millions of people, helping them build stronger families, more loving relationships, and more productive organisations.

Alison shares surprising science (did you know sperm team up for the ultimate relay race?) and unpacks the emotional energy behind simple words like "sorry." You'll find yourself questioning assumptions, rethinking your own approach to intimacy, and -if you’ve ever been confused by the opposite sex - feeling seen and inspired.

Alison clarifies common misconceptions about men's and women's needs regarding sex, emphasising the difference between sexual attraction, emotional connection, and fulfilment in relationships.

In this heartfelt episode of The Bliss Republic Podcast, we connect with Mark Groves - relationship expert and co-author of Liberated Love - from Toronto, Canada. 

Follow our candid conversation about what it really means to build, nurture and heal strong relationships in today's world. Mark opens up about how becoming a parent has shifted his partnership, what it means to move from couplehood to family and how to keep connection alive despite life’s disruptions.

We discuss turning toward difficult emotions like grief and anxiety instead of running from them, and share practical ways to process big feelings for personal and relational growth. Listen as we explore the evolving role of sexuality, the importance of boundaries, and the sacred journey of understanding one’s body and desires.

We get Mark’s take on tackling financial hardships, codependency and self-worth within relationships and the powerful role of curiosity and humility in healing and deepening connection.

We discover how technology, culture and shifting expectations are impacting the way we relate AND why going "back to the village" mindset might be more revolutionary than ever. We then draw illuminating comparisons between healthy partnership templates and vibrant, functioning communities and societies.

Whether you’re navigating the joys and struggles of parenting, feeling the weight of loneliness, or rethinking the role of intimacy and self-worth in your partnerships, in this episode, we deliver honest insights and actionable advice that will resonate deeply.

In this episode we speak with Elise Griffin from Sydney, Australia. 
Elise is a Breath-work Facilitator & Ice-bath Coach leading participants through a personal transformation lead by the power of ice bath and breathing.

Elise has made herself a name in the community of the Northern Beaches, Sydney for her dedication to healing through cold immersion. She shares her incredible story of struggling with anorexia nervosa as a teenager and how she overcame her struggle with the perception of self thanks to physical and mental support.  

Her journey through yoga brought her to feel a sense of belonging, finally being able to part with her anxiety.  Connecting closely with her most important life force, her breath, Elsie has grown her mindset to become a healthy, happy and self-regulated young woman. As a side effect she also expanded her spiritual self, finding deeper connections than she ever expected.

Thanks to the cold plunge, Elise has been able to overcome her illness and discover the depths of her emotions and needs. The cold is her place to find peace, mindfulness and purpose.  She highlights the importance of consistency and discipline, when wanting to transform our lives.

Since becoming a facilitator, she has offered hundreds of ice bath sessions to our community, immersed herself in trips like swimming in glacier lakes and is now offering a facilitator training from September 2024.

In this episode we speak with Cathy Williams from Melbourne, Australia. 
Cathy is an Expressive Arts & Movement Therapist leading participants through art experience workshops to reconnect with their inner need for expression.

She tells us about the features of her workshop, reminding participants to nurture the dialogue between the mind, the heart and the body, whilst overcoming resistance to feeling and expressing from the body.  Her aim is to create a space where people can deeply listen and reconnect to themselves and their intuition. 

Most people look for external validation. Cathy underlines the importance of making decisions that are in alignment with our intuition and validate ourselves internally.
When we ignore our intuition, we stay in a state of confusion. She shares a personal experience where she entered an emotionally abusive relationship because she listened to her mind instead of her gut. 

She explains why everyone has the capacity for creativity, what barriers people face when wanting to be creative and how there are endless outlets for expressing our creativity.  Facing these barriers, her participants break free from these barriers to feeling more confident in their bodies and minds. 

Cathy released her book "Body Wisdom", which offers exercises and animations for people to reconnect whilst seeking their creativity, expression and embodiment.

In this episode we speak with Amanda Lee from The Northern Beaches, Sydney. 
Amanda is a womb alchemy facilitator and  transformational coach supporting women to reach their fullness. 

She emphasises the importance of safety for a woman, explaining trust to be the first step to healing our connection to our feminine self and our life energy.
Shame is the biggest blockage to feeling safe, being embodied and being in a fully open and receiving state.

Most modern women operate from their head until they learn to be in the body. She explains how a woman is much more powerful, when she speaks from the heart.
She believes that the body keeps a "score" until we feel the emotions we need to release. Then, we can open our hearts, feel the beauty of life and feel connected to ourselves to understand who we are. 

She gives insight into the womb healing journey and how we can allow ourselves to heal intimate trauma. Every womb gate activates a part in the womb to ultimately reach ecstasy. Amanda explains the importance of longing, oneness between female and male energies and why a woman needs to remember who she truly is.

Amanda has a humble and soft approach to speaking about the secret feminine power and her embodiment to reach a deeper connection to her sexuality.

In this episode we speak with Jackson Goding from Sydney, Australia. 
Jackson is a clinical psychotherapist, specialised in the human connection and relationships, breaking down the stigma of self-care.

He discusses the value of inner exploration to heal the wounded self, and the markers of suicide,  we use to cope with dysfunctional patterns. How to create a safety plan, when  thinking about suicide and how to open up to the idea of support.

Jackson is very passionate about self-nurture and the relationship with ourselves, as the longest we will ever have. He explains why we are only able to deeply connect with others, when we have deeply understood ourselves, including our childhood, being one of the most impactful times on our emotional behaviourism.

He provides us with a roadmap on codependency and why it is the other side of the same coin as narcissism.  

Jackson discusses why being in a relationship can actually be a great place to find and seek healing, whilst putting yourself first.
