In this fascinating conversation, Rosy welcomes her old friend and colleague Dr Alan Watkins, a physician and neuroscientist whose pioneering work bridges medicine, psychology, and emotional intelligence. Together they explore how our heart rate variability (HRV) reveals the story of our inner state — and how learning to regulate our emotions is the single most powerful thing we can do to improve our health, performance, and happiness.
Alan explains the science behind HRV and why coherence between heart, mind, and emotions is the foundation for resilience, vitality, and clear thinking. From his early medical research to his work with world leaders through his company Complete, Alan shows how measurable physiology can reveal everything from burnout to brilliance — and how emotional mastery can literally change our biology.
This is an inspiring, mind-opening episode about how to take back ownership of your inner world and unlock your natural intelligence.
Karen was resting this week after a bout of illness — beautifully modelling the message of this episode: to listen to your body, honour your energy, and give yourself permission to pause.

S2 Episode 19 – Untangling the Stress Fest!
Season 2 · Episode 19
Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 49:20
In this episode, Karen Mellers and Dr. Rosy Daniel delve into the complex topic of stress, exploring its definition, impact on health, and the importance of recognizing and managing it.
They discuss the difference between external stress, which is harder to control, and self-stressing, which we can take charge of by changing our beliefs, assumptions, and behaviour patterns.
The conversation explores the idea of “good stress,” known as eustress, which is a healthy challenge that helps us reach peak performance. They also look at how “Nixon’s curve” shows that when stress increases too much, we move into poorer performance and eventually burnout.
Rosy explains the physical symptoms of chronic stress and how many illnesses are linked to stress in our lives. Karen and Rosy highlight the importance of awareness, breathwork, and mentorship in healing from stress, as we often need support to shift the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck in self-stressing.
The episode ends with a focus on the mind-body connection and the many ways we can bring ourselves back into balance if we are ready to let go of our stress habit.
Takeaways
Stress is a normal response to demands on the body.
Chronic stress can lead to serious health issues.
Self-stress often comes from low self-esteem, perfectionism, excessive ambition, and approval-seeking behaviour.
Recognizing stress, and especially self-stressing, is key to managing it effectively.
Eustress can enhance performance, while too much stress can lead to burnout.
Physical symptoms of stress include a racing heart, sweating, high blood pressure, and difficulty sleeping.
Breathwork is a powerful way to calm the body and mind. Yoga breathwork is called Pranayama.
Mentorship can provide support and help us transform the limiting beliefs that keep us stuck.
Being aware of your stress triggers is essential for healing.
Nature and co-regulation with others can significantly reduce stress.
Sound bites
“Stress manifests in many illnesses.” “Healing starts with self-awareness.”

Jo Dall is a “soul sister” of Karen’s, having shared years of friendship, work, and personal growth together. Jo also worked with Rosy at Weleda and trained to become a Health Creation Mentor.
Everything changed for Jo with the shock of her breast cancer diagnosis. This challenge pushed her to apply everything she had learned to herself and go deep inside to find her healing path. The deeper she went, the more she discovered her connection to Spirit and the profound knowing that she was held, loved, and guided.
With this spiritual awareness, Jo’s life and purpose transformed completely. She moved away from a life of pressure, targets, and ambition, stepping into the role of a Spiritual Healer and Teacher, encouraged by her mentor Julie-Anne Hart.
Jo shares her journey of spiritual transformation, emphasizing the importance of embracing one’s inner knowing and the deep peace that comes with spiritual alignment.
Takeaways
I’ve pushed and challenged myself hard all my life.
I’ve been very good at it—probably too good for my health and wellbeing!

Life and healing are much easier when I allow the right things to happen.
Self-discovery is a journey, not a destination.
