Episode 127: Soulstrology and Alchemy with Ambi Kavanagh
Wednesday Jul 18, 2018
Wednesday Jul 18, 2018
Alchemy with Ambi was birthed through her personal journey of alchemy which started with her spiritual awakening - aka cosmic b*tch slapping - in 2008 (thanks to Pluto in Capricorn!)
Ambi was an entertainment lawyer and an on air legal expert living in London.
Her awakening and subsequent journey led to her uprooting her personal life, moving far across the oceans and changing her career entirely.
Over the years Ambi has studied with many different spiritual teachers, travelled across the world to holy sites, attended numerous workshops and trainings, resulting in her becoming a life coach, astrologer, reiki master, sound healer, meditation teacher and now … podcast host!
And … for those that don’t know what sound healing is … I highly recommend it. Sound healing therapy improves many facets of your life, including emotional and social development, cognitive, motor functioning and psychological health.
Healing with sound happens when someone is playing a musical instrument that induces positive brainwaves and alter your mood.
Ultimately these new skills all enabled Ambi to align her professional life with her soul’s purpose and passion for helping others to create alchemy in their lives.

Episode 124: How to Spot a Hijackal with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler
Wednesday Jun 27, 2018
Wednesday Jun 27, 2018
Catherine is here today with Dr. Rhoberta Shaler. As a relationship consultant, mediator, speaker and author, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler knows as - The Relationship Help Doctor, provides urgent and ongoing care for relationships in crisis. Her mission is to help people stop tolerating abuse.
Dr. Shaler focuses on helping the partners, exes, and adult children of the relentlessly difficult people she calls “Hijackals®.” She offers strategies for dealing with the constant uncertainty and jaw-dropping behaviours of toxic people.
Author of sixteen books including Escaping the Hijackal Trap and Stop! That’s Crazy-Making! How to Stop Playing the Passive-Aggressive Game. She is also the host of three podcasts: The Relationship Help Show, Emotional Savvy, and, Save Your Sanity!
Dr. Shaler asks what’s going on in your relationship? Do these comments or thoughts feel familiar?
“I can’t put my finger on what’s wrong anymore and feel like I am going crazy.”
“Nothing I do is right or good enough.”
“It’s always my fault…even when it isn’t.”
“I’m so tired of the drama, the outbursts, the attacks, and the cycles.”
Dr. Shaler knows it’s very debilitating to feel like you never do it “right”, or well enough. That every time you become hopeful that you can find honesty and safety, you are taking a risk that seldom turns out to improve communication or resolve conflicts. She knows this because she lived through it, too.
It leaves you feeling exhausted, anxious, and uncertain. Unfortunately, you might also feel guilty, like you just didn’t do enough, give enough, or be enough. And, that’s not true!

Episode 122: Are you ready to seriously grow your business? with Emily Hirsh
Wednesday Jun 13, 2018
Wednesday Jun 13, 2018
Catherine is here today with Emily Hirsh. Emily is an industry-leading Facebook Ad Manager and Sales Funnel Strategist who works with entrepreneurs such as Marie Forleo, to grow their businesses and generate revenue using proven Facebook and sales funnel strategies.
She has built a top-level team of strategists, copywriters, graphic designers, and marketers to help remove the overwhelm and provide creativity that converts. Allowing entrepreneurs to step into their zone of power.
Emily dropped out of college and now has a million-dollar business because she didn’t have time to go to school and build a business, plus be the mother to her children.
She shares how she went against what everyone else was telling her to do. Instead she followed her gut and this is one piece of advice she shares “Always listen to your gut and NEVER do things because society or other people think that is the way they should be done”.
As soon as Emily was opened to the possibility of working virtually and online, she knew she could work as hard as possible to get to where she wanted to be.
Everything Emily knows was self-taught or learned through experience. If she had finished college and majored in business, she would have invested $50,000 plus on her degree, and would not be where she is today with a million-dollar brand.

Wednesday Jun 06, 2018

With her degree in Expressive Therapies, and 30 years performing experience, she’s been helping people get comfortable in their skin for decades.
Although she used to be terrified of speaking publicly, she now delights in storytelling, has emceed a TEDx event and hosts a TV show/podcast, Women Inspired.
Linda says if you’ve got a big dream, a big scheme.
And you can picture it and feel exhilarated. You yearn for visibility — you long to express it and share it with the world. You want to grow out your business; you want your ideal clients to find you; you want to be featured in the media; and you want to be seen as an authority to make your mark on the world.
Then you hesitate, procrastinate.
You don’t feel camera-ready; there is a part of you that doesn’t want to be seen.
You see the challenge that women face is that we’re not encouraged to be ambitious: We’re taught to seek approval and please. We are praised for being “good,” — for being supporters, not leaders.

Episode 118: The Courage Way with Shelly Francis
Wednesday May 16, 2018
Wednesday May 16, 2018
Catherine is here today with Shelly Francis. Shelly Francis is the author of a new book called The Courage Way: Leading and Living with Integrity (see www.courageway.org).
She wrote the book in her role as the marketing and communications director at the Center for Courage and Renewal, a non-profit based in Seattle.
Leadership demands courage. You have to make good decisions while balancing inevitable tensions and knowing when to take risks. You need to keep your values in sight, regardless of the pressures around you. At its core, leadership is a daily, ongoing practice, a journey toward becoming your best self and inviting others to do the same.
And that’s where The Courage Way comes in. It’s a guide to leadership that shows how to access and draw upon courage in all that you do. It has its roots in the work of Parker J. Palmer, who in fifty years of teaching, speaking, and writing, has explored the human spirit — what he has called “the inner landscape” — and its role in life and leadership.
Shelly Francis identifies key ingredients needed to cultivate courage, the most fundamental being trust—in ourselves and in each other. Each chapter features true stories of how leaders have overcome challenges and strengthened their organizations through touchstones like: “Extend invitation, not demand”; “No fixing, saving, advising, or correcting”; and “When the going gets rough, turn to wonder.”

Wednesday Apr 11, 2018
Catherine is here today with Emma Bannister. Growing up in a small town north of London, the ‘big smoke’ was never far from view. Emma designed presentations for banks that traded in high standards and fast deadlines. Their expectations ignited her ambitions, leading her to bigger and bluer skies. Emma arrived in Australia in 2002.
Knowing intelligent visuals packed a powerful punch; Emma took her passion for presentations one step further, launching Presentation Studio from her kitchen table in 2006.
Fast-forward a decade: Presentation Studio has grown to over 20 team members – all equally passionate about presentations and believe storytelling can transform the way people and companies communicate.
Why is Emma passionate about transforming presentations?
Sitting in presentations is usually the best time to check emails (guilty). Sadly, this is a missed opportunity for everyone. Hours, days even weeks are wasted creating lack lustre PowerPoint’s that are largely forgotten. If every presentation were creative, powerful and memorable, the positive impact on a company’s revenue would be enormous.
A presentation is your most influential business tool; it’s worth investing your time and energy to get it right, every time.

Episode 112: The Women’s Game with Ann Odong
Wednesday Apr 04, 2018
Wednesday Apr 04, 2018
Catherine is here today with Ann Odong. For those of you who are active followers of women’s football in Australia, this will be a name that rings a bell and a loud one at that – Ann Odong.
At a time when women's sport is starting to gain traction and attention, for over a decade, Ann has been part of a new wave of digital publishers with her website "The Women's Game" at the vanguard of women's football coverage.
Ann has sacrificed the better part of close to ten years in favour of covering women’s football after she discovered a gaping hole in the marketplace. Just before the 2007 Women’s World Cup rolled around Ann was trying to do research for that and she couldn’t find anything. Trying to find sources, articles and any information was really difficult.
And then in 2008 when the Westfield Women’s League came around, Ann thought why not start a website with all the information on women’s football in just one place so people who are researching don’t have to try and go to 15 different type of sites to find what they need.
At the time, Ann’s relationship with football media work began on a radio show in Perth called The World Football Program discussing the A-League with her mentor - Penny Tanner encouraging her all the way!
Coupled with what Ann describes as a ‘really Macbook’ and a ‘super simple understanding of how to build a website’, The Women’s Game was born out of her bedroom in Perth, Western Australia.
After years of hard work, the website has gone on to establish itself as a leader in opinion pieces, articles and information on women’s football in Australia.

Episode 110: The Easiest Way to Make New Friends with Aine Mulloy
Wednesday Mar 21, 2018
Wednesday Mar 21, 2018
Catherine is here today with Aine Mulloy. Aine Mulloy has a background in the humanities and digital technologies with an MA in Literature and Publishing, and a postgraduate in Digital Marketing. She initially worked with a leading publishing company before making the move to GirlCrew as co-founder.
GirlCrew is a platform for women to make new friends. Not keen on going to a concert solo? Find a friend with GirlCrew. Want to book a vacation but your friends are all coupled up? Find a group of awesome girls to travel with at GirlCrew. Whatever you can dream up, you can do with the GirlCrew.
GirlCrew began one Friday night, when Elva Carri really wanted to go out dancing, but had no one to go out with. All her friends were either too busy or tired. Believing there had to be other women in the same position, she put a call out for some platonic dancing buddies on Tinder. She had no idea she would quickly garner more than 100 enthusiastic matches. She added everyone to a secret Facebook group in Dublin, where she was based, and voila GirlCrew was born.
Having gained lots of new friends, and a jam-packed social calendar, Elva was going to need help. She teamed up with Aine and Pamela, where the three co-founders began growing GirlCrew groups in cities all over the world.

Kerry gives you down-to-earth practical advice and walks you through what most people don’t know – or refuse to believe – about the process of planning their exit.
Kerry believes exit and succession planning is simply a good business strategy. It’s a process, not a destination.

Episode 107: Navigating the Human Experience with Danielle Beinstein
Wednesday Feb 28, 2018
Wednesday Feb 28, 2018
Catherine is here today with Danielle Beinstein. Danielle Beinstein, MA, who is a Spiritual Advisor, Astrological Counsellor, Writer and Meditation Guide.
Danielle is born and raised in New York City and offers a unique blend of East and West coast sensibility, providing her clients with intuitive and pragmatic guidance as they navigate their life’s journey.
She graduated from University of Santa Monica’s Masters program in Spiritual Psychology in 2012 and followed with an additional year in Consciousness, Health and Healing in 2014.
In this interview we talk about being happy is more important than being right, and that the most important relationship we have is the one with ourselves, and that every person, and experience is a teacher, if we allow it to be.
We unpack judgement of self – the common catchcry “I don’t want to be this person” when in actual fact if you let go of self-judgement, you will find it easier to let go of ALL judgement, so it starts with you, to love and accept who you are. Acceptance is one of the most important manifestation of love!
We learn from our adversities and life is not a straight line. At different stages of our life, we are all going to face some sort of serious adversity whether we like it or not. The adversity will come when you least expect it so knowing how to deal with it is key.
So often we crave answers to the inexplicable. But much of life exists in the mystery, in the unknown. It’s in surrendering and letting go. It’s in knowing when to express determination and when to yield that we discover life in all its complexity and nuances.
