Frequency: 1 episode/7d. Total Eps: 15

Talking is Therapy, and Listening is Power. Sharing real, vulnerable, and empowering conversations about life, growth and the human experience, to inspire you to lead with courage, embrace the chaos, and stop letting fear get in the way of living your dream life. The less alone we realise we are in the hard times, the more we see how capable we are of going after what we want, not when we’re ready or perfect, but right now. Listening shows us that the people living their dreams are human too: they have their own doubts, struggles, and setbacks, but keep moving anyway. IG @christinapengilly

#15 | Kellie Finlayson - 4+ Years *Thriving* With Stage 4 Cancer

Tuesday, June 9, 2026 • Duration 01:06:26

Thank you for being here ❤️

This episode touches on cancer, terminal illness and discussions around mortality. If today isn't the day for this one, honour that. We are sending you so much love. 🤍

This is the most powerful conversations I have ever had on Talk Therapy. My friend of 15 years, Kellie Finlayson - bestselling author, keynote speaker, mum and truly one of the most extraordinary humans I know, sat down with me to share her story.

Kellie was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer just three months postpartum. She has been living with that diagnosis for almost four years. And if you met her on the street, you would never know.

This episode is not about Kellie's diagnosis, it's about how she chooses to show up when life gave her no choice.

We get into:

Kellie's diagnosis - what led to it, what was missed and the seven years it took to get answers
Being three months postpartum and receiving a terminal diagnosis
Why her daughter Sophia is the only reason she gets out of bed on the hardest days
What support actually looks like - and why the people closest to her forget she has cancer
Being called Belle Gibson 2.0 and told she should be in jail - and why she finds it hilarious
The waterfall analogy that will change the way you think about resilience forever
Why she never plays the cancer card - even when she absolutely could
Choosing to travel, live and say yes - with stage four cancer and half a lung
How to advocate for yourself when doctors dismiss you
What she would say to anyone sitting in a waiting room right now not being taken seriously
Why the people who have been through the hardest things are always the ones still showing up

Kellie is proof that you can be in the trenches of the hardest thing imaginable and still choose to find the light. Not because it is easy. Because it is the only option worth choosing.

Go follow Kellie and get her book - links below. And if you know someone who needs to hear this today, please share it with them. This one could change someone's life. 🤍

⭐️ My Viral Protein Ball Ebook is LIVE! Linked here: https://stan.store/christinapengilly/p/the-tastiest-balls-ebook ⭐️

Thank you for being here ❤️

This is the episode I wish existed when I first started out as a creator. Whether you have been curious about how to make money online, you have heard the term Influencing/UGC thrown around and had no idea what it means, or you are already creating and just not getting paid for it yet - this one is for you.

Today I am breaking down everything. No fluff, no gatekeeping. Just exactly what you need to know to start getting PAID to create content from your phone.

We get into:

The difference between influencer brand work and UGC - and why it matters
Exactly how influencers get paid - affiliates, brand posts, gifting and beyond
What UGC actually is and why brands are willing to pay for it
Where to start if you have never done this before
How to build a media kit that actually gets you noticed
How to find and outreach to brands the right way
What to say and how to say it - outreach that actually converts
How to show a brand you genuinely care and can get them a real outcome
Understanding ROI from a brand's perspective so you can pitch with confidence

This episode is your complete starting point. Whether you want to do this as a side hustle or build it into a full time income - the roadmap is here.

#13 | Why Not You? How to Back Yourself & Build the Life You Actually Want

Season 1 · Episode 13

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 51:32

Thank you for being here ❤️

My Protein Ball Ebook is HEREEE! Linked here xx

This episode is for the person who keeps watching other people live the life they want and telling themselves it's just not for them. The one who has the dream, the desire, the knowing - but keeps waiting for permission that is never coming.

Today's conversation is a simple but life changing question.

Why not you?

We get into:

Why seeing someone else achieve your goal is actually evidence that it's possible for you
The difference between comparing yourself to someone's step ten when you're at step one
Why your dreams are absolute - and what that actually means
Moving with conviction without arrogance - the difference and why it matters
Why closed mouths don't get fed and asking for what you want is a skill not arrogance
How to stop apologizing for your ambition to make other people comfortable
Why the people meant for your journey will never be intimidated by your growth
Wanting a different life but still seeking approval from people committed to staying the same
Self belief is built through evidence not intention
Why most people quit right before the snowball starts rolling
The biggest risk in your life right now - and it's not what you think

I also get really honest about the seasons where I played small, diluted what I wanted and waited for permission I never needed in the first place.

You can either choose discomfort now or regret later. Either way you are going to feel it. So you may as well feel it moving towards the life you know you are here to live.

This is the episode I want you to relisten to. Write notes. Put them on your wallpaper. Send it to someone who needs it. And if you're ever going to leave a comment on Talk Therapy - make it this one. 💌

#12 | Overcome Anxiety & Overwhelm to Achieve Your Dreams

Season 1 · Episode 12

Tuesday, May 19, 2026 • Duration 48:22

Thank you for being here!!

This episode is for the person who has been sitting on their dreams for TOOOO long. The one who knows they are capable of so much more but keeps waiting for the right time, the right feeling, the right moment of confidence (Spoiler - the 'right time' is never coming)

Today I am expanding on the quote that genuinely changed my life and the way I relate to anxiety, overwhelm and fear forever.

Ambition without action equals anxiety.

We get into:

Why you are not anxious because of what you have to do - but what you are yet to do
The difference between temporary relief through procrastination and actual relief through action
Why your brain exaggerates every task and how to stop letting it run the show
The rubbish bin analogy that will change the way you think about mental load forever
How open loops are stealing your capacity to go after what actually matters
Why anticipation is almost always more painful than the reality
The 15 minute rule that will get you started on anything
A practical brain dump exercise to clear your mental load today
Why confidence is just competence - and competence only comes through doing

I also get really honest about my own experience!

This episode is not here to make you feel good for ten minutes and then go back to doing nothing. I want you to leave this one and actually move. So consider this your sign.

If there is someone in your life who needs a loving kick up the bum - share this one with them. And if this lands for you I would love to hear from you. Slide into my DMs and tell me the one thing you are committing to after this episode 💌

#11 | Feel Like You're Going Backwards? Listen to This.

Season 1 · Episode 11

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 57:31

I'm so happy you're here!

This episode is for anyone who is in a middle ground right now. Anyone who knows they need to make a decision but is terrified of what it means about them. Anyone who feels like they are going backwards. Anyone who is sitting in the shame of feeling like they have failed. This one is for you.

I am sharing the full story of walking away from my business of three and a half years at the height of it, the internal rock bottom that led me there, and the decision that every single part of me did not want to make - going back to a 9 to 5.

We get into:

Why I walked away from full time self employment after three and a half years
The ego, the shame and the fear of feeling like I was going backwards

Walking into Goodlife gym and asking for a job with no plan
How going backwards became the absolute slingshot to everything
Growing from 5k to 27k followers while working a 9 to 5
The power of radical honesty with your community
Why I asked a simple question at mini golf that changed everything
If you don't ask, the answer is always no

If you are in a season of feeling lost, defeated, confused or just knowing that there is more for you - I promise you this episode is going to land exactly where it needs to.

#8 | How to Become a Content Creator (What It Actually Takes)

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 01:02:41

Thank you for being here ❤️

In this episode, I’m sharing the honest truth about building a social media following/ career in content creation… and why most people stay stuck. Because the reality is, a lot of people say they “want it”… but don’t actually do what it takes to get there. I talk about the difference between loving the outcome vs loving the process, and why that distinction will either make or break your consistency.

We get into:

Why you might not actually want this (and why that’s okay)
The entitlement mindset that’s keeping people stuck
Why comparing yourself to established creators is holding you back
The truth about “blowing up” (and why it doesn’t build a career)
Why personality will always outperform perfection
What it actually takes to grow
Tips & Tricks

I also share some real talk on the parts no one speaks about - the slow seasons, the flops, the self-doubt… and how to keep going anyway.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, discouraged, or questioning if you’re cut out for this… this is for you.

As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you! Tag me in your stories (@christinapengilly) & share this episode with someone you love 💌

#7 | How To Find YOUR People.

Season 1 · Episode 7

Tuesday, April 14, 2026 • Duration 50:20

YOUR PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE!

In this episode I share my experience of feeling lost in friendships, questioning where I belonged, and genuinely wondering if I would ever find 'my people'.

For a long time, it felt like everyone else had their people and I just didn’t. But instead of forcing connections that didn’t feel right - I grieved a lot of friendships that I thought were 'forever' and I made the decision to hold my standard of what I wanted in my friendships, even if that meant being alone.

This episode is about what happened in those “lonely” years… and how they were actually the most important part of attracting the right friendships into my life.

I also dive into:

How to attract aligned friendships
What you need to stop doing (that might be pushing the right people away)
Who you need to become to call in the friendships you want
Why forcing friendships never works, and what to do instead

And of course some big sister advice from me to you!

If you’ve been feeling like you don’t quite fit, like your friendships aren’t fully aligned, or like you’re still searching for your people… this episode is for you.

As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you! Tag me in your stories (@christinapengilly) & share this episode with someone you love 💌

#6 | STOP Trying To Have It All 'Figured Out' in Your 20's.

Season 1 · Episode 6

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 51:29

I’m SO happy you’re here! 💌

In this episode, I’m talking about something I feel so strongly about and something that holds so many people back.

I share my perspective on why your 20’s are not for certainty, how constantly needing a plan can disconnect you from what you truly want, and why following the “right path” can actually lead you further away from your own.

I also dive into:

The power of quitting (and why it’s actually a skill)
The difference between quitting because it’s not for you vs. quitting because it’s hard
“Choose your hard” and what that really means
Why waiting for 100% certainty is slowing your life down
Letting go of the pressure that you’re “running out of time”

And I share a story that completely reframed success for men because the timeline you think you’re behind on… might not even be real.

If you’ve been feeling lost, behind, or like you should have it all together by now… this episode is for you.

As always, thank you so much for listening. It would mean the world to me to hear from you! Tag me in your stories (@christinapengilly) & share this episode with someone you love 💌
