I swear it's all in the name of integration!

This week we're talking kinesiology, with a focus on my very first session "back" this week after a two year kinesiology hiatus. What did I work on? What did we uncover? And why did that result in me audaciously sliding into a celebrity's DMs?!

The ep ends with the return of fan-favourite What's The Vibe? - we're talking a hot-tip for the Geminis, and a way to amplify your Cancer-season experience.

Sorry I went MIA for a bit there guys, my house was trying to kill me. But I'm back and better than ever - with a LOT of stories to show for it.

Today's ep is a deep dive into what it feels like when you realise you've been living in a haunted house for 4 years.

Trigger warning: this episode discusses mental illness and suicide ideation.

It's a full moon in Sag this weekend and it's time for us to look at the lower expression of this archetype because herein lies the medicine of this beautiful lunar cycle. But before that, are you feeling a little "all over" with multiple tabs open and a sense of impending urgency every minute of the day? We can thank Gem-season for that. Also, do you know your ASC/DC (*not the band)? A little astro-insight into a key opposition in your natal chart.

In today's ep Hollie speaks to a much-requested topic on all things friendship. To be honest, expect chaos - including a song her and her bestie Leah wrote when they were 8, and friendship parallels drawn with the dating scene, of which Hollie has absolutely no experience in. She also tries her hand at audio-book recording, reading a snippet of her own book as a reference and honestly, who knows if you'll take anything away from this but at least you'll get some solid laughs!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get your witty banter on, it's Gemini Season! Hollie shares all things navigating the (sometimes abrupt) shift from earthy, sensual Taurus, to airy, chatty Gemini. Think flirtation for fun, conversation for joy and - on a deeper level - uncovering the masks you wear that are no longer serving you.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Hollie shares a very transparent "sneak peek" into her recent kinesiology session, with themes around being seen, and claiming recognition and *cringe* fame. She shares the stories and patterns re-written in the session, and the almost immediate post-session results received (including a very exciting piece on Mamamia, and a Big W poster!)

It's our final week of Taurus Season, Mercury has gone direct, we are out of the eclipse shadow and we end the week with a New Moon in Taurus - it's time to melt into the slow, surrender to the sensual and seep in reverence for the beauty of life.

This week, Hollie shares a contemplation she has been having for a while now: why do we feel the need to deflect the role luck plays in our lives? The constant stream of "I'm not lucky, I work really hard" commentary - while well-intended - also lends itself to a complete deflection of the fact that, to a large degree, luck, good fortune, privilege and chance all play a role in our lives - no matter how "hard" we work. And this isn't a bad thing at all. Let's reclaim our relationship with luck!

This week Hollie channels the vibes around emergence from the Eclipse portal, and draws comparison to a "cosmic come down". She ends the ep with a beautiful card pull confirming we are exactly where we are supposed to be.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trigger warning: this episode discusses body dysmorphia, and eating disorders. Listener discretion is advised

In today's episode, Hollie speaks directly from her heart into a piece she has been navigating unconsciously during her postpartum experience, that has come to light this Taurus Season. She shares her history of struggles with her body, especially as a big-busted woman, and what is stopping her from getting back in to modelling today (even though it is what she deeply desires).

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Hollie breaks down exactly what to expect when the Scorpio Eclipse hits later in the week (note: do not fear! Empowered and liberated is the way!)

She covers the key flavours of the Taurus North Node and Scorpio South Node energies as we shift our way out of this transit: money talk, anyone?

As always, take these insights with a grain of salt and know that YOU are in the power seat of the energy this week, above all else. You've got this!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back!

After an unintentional extended season break, Soul Talk is back in a big way, with our bumper episode covering all of your favourites:

- What's The Vibe? Talking eclipse season, Mercury Retrograde and fear mongering to ignore on your social media
- The bee in Hollie's bonnet right now (it's a fiery one!) around all things masculine/feminine "traditional" gender roles, and why this is a conversation asking for far more nuance and depth than is currently being had online

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Buckle up friends, because we're about to go on a journey - the last 8 days (and counting) have been a mixture of chaotic highs and lows to say the least.

Listen in as Hollie shares exactly what went down in online forums critiquing her impossible breastfeeding journey, and the fact she hadn't had a pedicure before a red carpet event (yes...really) - and how she remained relatively intact (read: sane) amongst the polarising highs and lows.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today Hollie shares Operation Life Force: her new approach to regaining life force energy after a month of very little of it. She shares what TF "Life Force" even is, and how she is choosing to cultivate more of it: by turning up the volume of her "life bringers" and turning down the volume of her "life takers". 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's What's The Vibe is short and sweet: channelled wisdom starting with a call to slow, intentional energy usage, a reminder of what solstice actually means, and ending with a card pull warning of getting swept up in someone's empty promises. A bite-sized wisdom nugget to guide you into your week ahead with ease and grace.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollie shares the brutal truth behind what consistent sickness in March has taught her - did someone say burn out?

She shares with transparency the ongoing struggle of being a Stay At Home Mum, while also running a business - both from a place of necessity - and how the lack of space she has created for herself has come at a cost not only to her physical wellbeing, but to her friendships and quality of life.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're talking ARIES SEASON baby! Happy New Astro year - can you feel that forward momentum calling? This week you'll get the Aries Season breakdown: including how to best cultivate an energy that is supporting your deepest wants, needs and desires - Aries domain, after all! 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, Hollie dives into the energetics behind why it can feel so damn terrifying to actually pursue the big dreams and visions we hold. Covering Tall Poppy Syndrome, Imposter Syndrome, and the fear that comes with being a "shiny" target, Hollie's biggest takeaway is this: your dreams matter far more than the opinions of others. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's what's the vibe is an intuitively guided message from Hollie as we head into the last full week of the astrological year. Themes include mental wellbeing, tending to our physical bodies and lightening the load of our loved ones this week (random acts of kindness, anyone?) She ends the episode with a (double) card pull...that is crazily accurate, and very affirming. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Note: if you're squeamish, maybe skip this one!

Today Hollie shares a (kind of funny, very messed-up) story of the lessons of a violent vomit sesh, brought on by a bunch of energetic practices...all in the name of embodiment! 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this bumper What's The Vibe? ep, Hollie dives into why TF it feels like everything is tipped on its head right now, including:

- Virgo Full Moon vibes, and how to honour the last full moon of the astro year
- Saturn moving into Pisces and how this will impact us collectively, including her own personal predictions
- How to best show up for YOU when overwhelm is highly anticipated this week 

Today's episode has been brought to you by Byron Bud - high quality CBD oil. Check them out at @byronbud on Insty.

This week we're crossing our T's and dotting our I's as we attach feelings to our visions, and let go of any dead-energetic-weight we're needing to release before the new astrological year. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TW: This is a very frank, open conversation about death and the grieving process, and how to show up as a "village" of support when the inevitable happens in our loved one's lives. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's the Vibe? The nodal shift - what does it mean, and how could we already be experiencing it?
Show Notes: There's an energy shift in the air - can you feel it? In two weeks, we will be moving from the nodal axis of Taurus and Scorpio (North and South) into Aries (North) and Libra (South).

But what does that even MEAN?! Don't worry - this ep covers all that and then some. Here's to energetic clarity for the coming weeks (and months, and year!)

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Hollie shares how the recent transition into Pisces energy may be playing out for you - not just this week, but for the coming weeks. Think feeling your feelings (rather than thinking them), dreaming and casting big vision, with a side of catching yourself self-medicating when it all gets a bit much! 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollie shares two deeply moving and healing experiences she sat with this week: one that took place in a bodywork session, processing grief that was activated around her experience of pregnancy, and one that took place in a somatic therapy session that saw her in an autonomic nervous system response, releasing years and years of pent up trauma and adrenaline.

TW: references to anxiety, complex PTSD and postnatal depression - listener discretion is advised 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week Hollie tunes into the collective energy using direct channelling and intuitive download, and sums up the week with a card pull confirming all she dropped into. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Hollie uses a deeply personal, and vulnerable story, featuring her husband Trent (Trenny)'s journey back to alignment after a year of barely getting by. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week's What's The Vibe is a dive into the Leo Full Moon we are just emerging from - and perhaps what is coming up for you (think, "pay me attention!" vibes...)

Hollie also shares collective energy vibes for the month of February, and an invitation into gentleness, if you accept. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Hollie shares a story about a breath work circle, and how it ended in the reclamation of her life force, and voice. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's What's The Vibe? Hollie dives into the collective energy she is noticing when it comes to money - how we're spending it, earning it and what Taurus North Node has to say about it all. She includes some Aquarian-esque ways to support your finances as we move through this curious little energy wave. 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Hollie speaks freely into how 2022 impacted her, touching on a few key pieces she's never spoken into before, including:

- How the 2022 floods impacted her feeding experience
- How breastfeeding trauma is still playing out in her life today 
- The challenges of new parenthood on a relationship 
- Why 2023 feels worlds apart from 2022 and how she will create beautiful shifts stepping into FUN and JOY

*TW: Mental health, postpartum depression and breastfeeding trauma are all covered in this episode, and listener discretion is advised.

We're backkkkkk!

And this year, we're taking things up a notch!

Each week, you can expect not one, but TWO episodes of Soul Talk in your ears: starting with our new mini-eps "What's The Vibe?" - a vibe-check energetically, astrologically and intuitively for your week ahead.

This week, Hollie taps into Aquarius Season energy, and how to best support yourself as we shift from Earth to Air. Enjoy! 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've wanted to speak into this topic for more than a year now, and this week struck a deeper chord with me.

The show speaks for itself, so I won't try to explain anything here.

It's hard to believe it's taken 6 months for an episode on intuitive development, but here we are!

Today Hollie shares a deep-dive into all things "beginner" for tapping into your own intuitive and potentially psychic wisdom, including sharing how she discovered she was psychic, and ways to access your own intuitive gifts, while also taking care of your energy in the process.

In this episode, Hollie unpacks the (poignant) question: So, why isn't anyone talking about "this" (being the nuanced nature of birth, and postpartum - when it ain't pretty)? 

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hollie is back in response to the overwhelming outpouring of love and questions she received from Part 1 and 2 of her pregnancy and birth experience.

In this episode, Hollie talks solo into her experience of the fourth trimester (note: it was not the "newborn bliss bubble" that so many speak to).

She also answers your questions, including what she would do differently next time, and how her journey makes her feel about future children.

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode is a highly emotional one, and includes indirect and direct reference to trauma associated with birth, breastfeeding, and mental illness including postpartum depression and complex PTSD. There are points in the episode where listeners may find Hollie's emotional state distressing. Listener discretion is advised.

Soul Talk is back with Season Two after a lengthy hiatus seeing Hollie transition from Maiden to Mother.

In this two-part series, Hollie sits opposite her friend and doula Zoe Bosco and unpacks everything from pre-conception to pregnancy, birth and beyond - the very first time they have sat and spoken to the entirety of the experience, since Hollie birthed her little girl in December 2021.

In Part One of this discussion, Hollie and Zoe speak directly to work completed together in the pre-conception phase, and during Hollie's pregnancy, as well as what that experience was like for Hollie as a first time mother.

In Part Two of this discussion, Hollie speaks candidly, in detail, of the birth of her little girl, including the triumphs, challenges and everything in between. She also touches briefly on early postpartum experiences.

TRIGGER WARNING:

Drawing inspo from our Season One guests, in this final, final episode of Season One - I go solo, chatting all things why I've hidden my own voice, what I've been most afraid of in owning my truths, and my personal views on the collective energy we are experiencing right now. Cue vulnerability hangover!

Traumas, and triggers, and numbers - oh my! 

The final episode of Season One - Soul Talk is a biggie, which I expected when inviting Nat in to share her incredible wisdom!

A mum-of-ten (yep, you read correctly!), blended family specialist, trauma expert and numerologist, we cover EVERYTHING and then some, including:

• Leaky energy and playing victim
• Self-awareness and taking personal responsibility
• A new take on self-care (featuring excavating traumas…) 
• Using numerology as a tool for conscious parenting 
• Diving DEEP into “the numbers” - what they mean, and how you can work with yours (so fun!)
• Where to start your trauma healing journey

Jess* knows what it’s like to be outcast and shamed. In fact, in this interview her name has been changed because her story is one that is still polarising for her, and perhaps you listening. Feelings of guilt, shame and that lump-in-your-throat-chakra feeling, continue to run rife when she shares this part of her journey. Jess was the “other woman” in an affair - one that taught her much, left her questioning her spirituality and unravelled her to a point of starting anew. In this safe space Jess shares what this experience taught her, and the challenges that arise when you are labelled as the “other”.

Erin was raised by her mum, and her mum alone. It was just the two of them, no siblings, but that didn’t bother Erin - she had her fiery Sag mumma Deb showing her the ropes, encouraging her love of travel and teaching her all of life’s lessons. When Deb got sick, she kept the severity of it under-wraps - not wanting to interrupt Erin’s once-in-a-lifetime Europe trip. However, the trip was cut short despite Deb’s wishes, with Erin rushing home to be by her bedside and say goodbye. A heartbreaking story of grieving a parent when it feels far too early to be saying goodbye, Erin’s story teaches us how to transform grief into gratitude, the strength she cultivated through EFT, and the legacy Deb left behind that we can all live by.

Growing up in Northern Ireland, Paddy was privy to the energy that can occur through misdirected anger and hatred. Not a stranger to street fighting, violence and the ego-fuelled nature of being an adolescent in a violent community, how did Paddy manage to turn his whole life around? An inspiring tale of Paddy’s journey - from his upbringing in Derry, to following the “niggles” to Australia, to what happened in a breathwork circle in Mexico - and everything in between.

For some of you, Tayla may be a familiar face. Whether you know of her or not is besides the point. In this firey, easily excitable convo (Leo meets Sag!) Tay shares a side of her that managers in the past deterred her from sharing: a real, spiritual, soulful and intuitive side, who frankly talks about her ability to feel spirits, with a refreshing pragmatism when it comes to what death can teach us about living.

Since recording, Tayla has launched her business Angel Energy Co - branching out of what the "mainstream" desire from her, and honouring her unique relationship with spirituality. 

Trigger warning: this episode touches on death and spirits. Listener discretion is advised.

It's the season to wave those empath flags loud and proud, retreat into our hibernation -stations and take everything personally!

Joking friends, we love Cancer Season.

In this week's ep, Hollie dives deep into this sensitive, intuitive and maternal archetype - how it may show up for you over the coming weeks, why you might be feeling a little more sensitive than usual - and why all of this is a true gift when harnessed openly. Home cooks unite!

Trigger Warning: Listener, please note that in today's episode of Soul Talk we discuss stillbirth, miscarriage and grief. Listener discretion is advised. If you need help, please contact Lifeline on 13 11 14.

Sharni is the type of gal who lights up a room. Confident, funny and, yes, your typical #Leo - she's the life of any party. When she fell pregnant for the first time, this didn't change. Until it all did. Sharni shares her courageous story of grief and loss, in birthing her firstborn Jai into a world he would never get to experience. And how, above all things, this experience connected her with spirit and love, more than anything ever has.

This episode is dedicated to Jai Pitman. x

Lily started her business at 22. She was living the high life, “partying like a rockstar” and trailblazing the talent-management industry. Then, her life changed. Lily had a serious accident and tore her spinal cord at 28 - her brain was literally being sucked down her spine. She lay wide awake during 4 failed spinal operations. For 14 months she couldn’t do anything but lie flat on her back - no pillow, no screen time, nothing but her mind… In the first episode of Soul Talk Lily shares how she got through an experience that would destroy even the most courageous. An inspiring tale of grit, resilience and hope.
