Virginia opens up about her healing journey, and her retreat experience - and the message that kept coming back to her, from her body, again and again…Let go, be graceful, feel gratitude. These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the gorgeous Virginia, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

The collective healing and support within the retreat - how Virginia, along with other attendees, held space for others, with wisdom, compassion and connection How back pain was sending her a message to slow down, surrender, and transition into a gentler, more feminine way of being that matches her age Lying on the grass, under the sun, letting it all go - and how the back pain completely dissipated in that moment Long-term food intolerances and how Virginia is rewiring her brain and body to eat foods again The power in investing in self and how it gives others permission to do invest in self also Show Note Links: Learn more about Virginia and her business mentoring work HERE Join Heart Meets Land Retreat - early-bird special disappears 20 Sept!!

If you caught last week’s episode, you’ll have heard my (Filly’s) personal experience of delivering our first retreat - The Body Knows . The personal shifts, insights and breakthroughs I had through the process of creating and leading it. In this week’s episode, we dive into the true magic of the retreat - the power of a shared and collective healing experience. In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about How I heard again and again, from the women who attended the retreat, the power of being with others on a shared transformational journey The difference between a curated retreat that intentionally creates a shared healing experiences VS a “nice” retreat that does superficial work The power that occurs when humans gather together in circle, and take off their masks and filters, and share with openness, honesty and safety, breathing, practicing, singing, and moving together What neuroscience tells us about the brain when humans share openly and honestly, in a safe container How the environment impacts a collective healing experience - from the expansive land and sea, to the essential oil scents, to the music being used, to the beautiful things to see, feel and taste What happens when we co-regulate together in a safe, transformational space How humans emit light - and how your light shines brighter when you feel seen and heard without judgement, in your full expression of self Key moments where we witnessed collective healing Words from our Body Whisperers (aka retreat guests) on their experience of a collective and shared healing journey Show Note Links: Join Heart Meets Land Retreat - early-bird special disappears 20 Sept!!

If you've been following along on my (Filly’s) personal journey via our socials or podcast, you'll know I started dreaming up The Body Knows Retreat almost a year ago, but had to break through my own subconscious blocks around putting it out into the world. Well, we just ran our very first retreat and I'm soooooo glad I listened to my heart, and worked through my blocks, because this in-person healing experience was everything I dreamed of + more!!! I’m still trying to find the “right words” to capture the magic that unfolded over our days at The Body Knows. Some things are FELT in the body and the heart, that words just can't express. But I’m going to give it a good crack, inside this episode today! Specifically on the deep shifts & insights I had personally, as the retreat leader. Sit back, as we pull the curtains open to reveal what happened inside our first retreat. In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about: The identity shift I had to go through to become a retreat leader - and how it showed up in my dreams and my body How dancing my vision on the beach in front of strangers helped me to manifest the retreat Intuitive body work support, and how it connected me back to the power of holding space for other women “You’ve got this, girl!” as my mantra Feeling a deep sense of groundedness and confidence the day before the retreat How I meet broken sleep with calm and relaxation during the retreat - and the surprising benefit of not being in “full energy!” mode The power of leaning in to discomfort - without going over the edge Coming out of the retreat breathwork session feeling so powerful, and energy pouring out of my hands Letting go of the fear and limiting belief that “I’m not good with people-ing” Show Note Links: Join the WAITLIST to be first to know about future retreats & to score special waitlist discounts and bonuses Ep. 163 - How Filly Broke Through Subconscious Blocks To Birth The Body Knows Retreat Take the Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk with Dr Andrea Robertson all about the impact that inflammation has on weight gain and weight loss resistance, how we can use foods to reduce inflammation and shift stubborn weight, and the what you should think about if you’re considering or are using GLP-1’s (weight loss medication).

We have a powerful episode for you today. Chris (with Filly) is teaching a foundational SPARK lesson inside our Ending Body Burnout Method called “You’re Not Broken” — designed to help you finally drop the belief that something is wrong with you… and start seeing your symptoms, behaviours, and patterns through a completely different lens. When you can land this belief in your system, you’ll start to see why you do what you do, why you’ve ended up where you are, and what needs to shift so you can create real change at the deepest level. If your heart resonates with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing and you’re DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms, you can learn more about our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in Oct). In today’s episode, Chris will help you understand: Why “you’re not broken” is a critical belief to end body burnout (and why the “something is wrong with me” narrative keeps people stuck) The presupposition: every behaviour and symptom is meeting a need and every strategy has a positive intention (even if it’s showing up “wonky”) The belief that your body craves health and that health is the default — and how sickness/weight/symptoms can be a form of protection from what you’re most afraid of Why self-protection is actually an act of self-love (and how that reframe creates compassion and opens the door to change) How to start doing this work in real life: awareness first, then digging deeper as you move through the Reckoning module Tony Robbins’ 6 Core Needs as a simple diagnostic tool: certainty, variety, significance, love/connection, growth, and contribution — and how symptoms can be an unresourceful way of meeting those needs Show note links Learn more about the Ending Body Burnout Method program here Take Chris & Filly’s Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Find out how to work with Chris & Filly here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

LIVE Root-Cause Coaching - Money, Control & Healing the “Not Enough” Pattern We have a very special episode for you today! Chris coaches a brave soul live on our podcast. Isabel gets coached on the deeper “why” behind her money stress, the need to feel in control, and the tension that can build in a relationship when money conversations feel unsafe. It’s a rare honour to listen in on a very personal coaching session, so a big thank you to Isabel for allowing us to publish this episode. And also give Isabel some virtual/energetic love and compassion, as you listen to this intimate conversation. Today’s episode gives you a glimpse into our “metaphysical” side of healing inside our Ending Body Burnout Method (DOORS OPEN NOW!), which we call “Spark”. Spark is a CRITICAL piece that is often missed in the health industry. It gets to the very root of body burnout, by identifying deep-seated beliefs and stories that are causing sickness, and keeping you stuck from healing. Essentially, the process dives deep into your brain, your nervous system and your unconscious mind, and rewires your healing abilities from within. Join here . And if you’d like to find out more and be coached by us, come join our FREE Rewire Your Brain to End Body Burnout event . In this episode, Chris coaches Isabel on: Why Isabel’s money stress isn’t just about dollars — it’s about control, trust, and safety (especially when relying on a partner’s income) How survival seasons (farming life, money coming in once or twice a year, bills going out constantly) can wire the nervous system for scarcity and hypervigilance Tracking the trigger in the body: the “exploding” stomach sensation, jaw tension, and the urge to cry — then shifting from forcing/control → allowing, curiosity, gentleness, and less resistance The power of permission: noticing you are the one who opens the floodgates and you are the one who closes them — you control you The belief underneath “taking it personally”: “I’m not good enough” — and the re-installation of “I am good enough” (anchored into the body) Future pacing a new pattern in the marriage: more transparency, asking kinder questions, mindfulness, empathy, and the apologies that restore rapport Show Note Links: Register for our FREE Live Coaching Week: Rewire The Brain To Heal Body Burnout Join the Ending Body Burnout Method program - doors close 23 June!

Chris & Filly are joined with one of our amazing Ending Body Burnout Method clients. Neeka came to us after struggling with 4 decades of anxiety that was crippling her physical health (insomnia, gut issues, difficulty losing weight, body pain), and also crippling her confidence, her relationships, and her ability to show up in her business. She likened the anxiety to feeling like she was in a “prison” in her mind. And now - she has peace and freedom internally for the first time in her life, her confidence is blooming, she’s showing up on social media for her ASMR business like a rock-star (and her ASMR practice is thriving because of it!), and she’s putting in boundaries and creating healthy relationships like never before. Not to mention eating all the things again, and finally releasing stubborn weight & seeing muscle definition in her body!! These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the amazing Neeka, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others. P.S.

We have a powerful episode for you today. Chris is fleshing out a framework inside our Ending Body Burnout Method called Where Are You Stuck? - designed to help you get clear on where you are right now, what’s keeping you looping, and what needs to shift so you can actually move forward. What you don’t know, you can’t change. And if you’ve been feeling stuck in your healing (or stuck in the same patterns, symptoms, or emotional cycles), this framework will help you get unstuck and moving into the next steps in your healing. This episode is also a loving call-out to stop being an ostrich with your head in the sand. If you’ve been avoiding the thing you know is keeping you stuck… it’s time to look up and get honest. Yes, it can feel risky. But with risk comes transformation - because growth always comes with a level of discomfort. And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in June 2026). Oh and PS if you'd like to learn more about our method we have a FREE Rewire Your Brain to Heal Your Body Burnout coaching week. That's going to be epic. We've had thousands of people attend so far in past sessions. Heaps of value packed inside the coaching workshops! In today’s episode, Chris will help you: Identify where, why and how you are stuck (so you can actually change it) Why getting clear on your “Present State” is the fastest way to stop spinning in circles in your healing journey How to get clear on where you are now, what you want to move away from, and what you want to move forward to The real question most people avoid: what stops you from having what you want? Why this work can feel “risky” — and why that’s often the exact doorway to transformation How overwhelm keeps you stuck (and why trying to fix everything at once usually backfires) How to recognise the most common reasons you’re stuck, including: Challenges being too high; Unrealistic expectations; Distracted; Unresourceful state; No help / no support Show Note Links: Doors opening again in June 2026 to the Ending Body Burnout Method, join the waitlist Join the waitlist to our FREE Rewire Your Brain To Heal Your Body Burnout here Take the Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

As you may know by now, we are holding a transformative ending body burnout retreat experience in August 2026 - The Body Knows Retreat - at The Cove Tasmania (in North-West Tasmania). If you have been umming and ahhhing about attending, and not really sure if it would be worth your time, money and attention, today’s episode will help you to decide! We share our own experiences of attending multi-day retreats and putting on live in person events (some have had 100’s of people attend), and what we have found most transformative - and how they have changed our health and our lives for the better! In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about: Not all retreats are “transformational” and what differentiates this A transformational retreat is an intentionally curated journey The importance of entering a retreat experience with an intention How the unconscious mind starts shifting the moment you say YES to yourself Recognising if you’re running “space & time” scarcity How carving out time for deep connection is essential for healing and maintaining a beautiful relationship with yourself Surprising stats that demonstrate health benefits even years after a retreat Why your body is craving meaningful connection with other humans, even if your conscious mind doesn’t know it Why nature so deeply supports a human’s healing - it’s in our DNA Show Note Links: Book your spot to The Body Knows Retreat - save $500 with our early-bird discount (ends 14 May 2026) Ending Body Burnout Method program Take the Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

I have been dreeeeeeaming about holding a healing, transformative in-person retreat for our community for the last 6 or so months. Actually, if I’m being very transparent, Chris & I have talked about how cool it would be to hold retreats for the last 6 years. But last year, I had a very clear stirring in my heart that NOW is the time. However, my rational, logical mind kept putting it aside - “nah, too much work”, “what if no one comes?”, “life is so nice and cruisey right now, do we really want to be creating another thing?”, “it’s too costly, people say you never make any money with a retreat”...blah…blah…blah…For many months I let my mind rule. Yet along the way, my heart kept prompting me to create a retreat. And every time I listened, I broke through another layer of subconscious blocks, until I took full-blown action!! And I wanted to share how I did this on today’s episode - because essentially, how I moved through the blocks will be the transformative journey we will take you on in our upcoming The Body Knows Retreat in August. In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about: Where the dream of The Body Knows Retreat started The A.L.I.G.N. framework that I used to overcome subconscious blocks around running a retreat - and the same framework that will guide the transformational journey at our retreat Emotional and physical “signals” that showed up, when I kept putting the retreat-creation to the side (including losing my voice!!!) Subconscious blocks and stories that were holding me back, most significantly the hidden “fear” that I’m not the type of woman that could hold space for a multiple-day transformational retreat How I broke through the blocks, including an unexpected rise of grief and sadness around a miscarriage I had in the past during a transformational breathwork session, and how it birthed me into action How I took big, heart-led, aligned action to make this retreat happen A little bonus at the end - a real and raw reading from my 2011 journal entry about my miscarriage Show Note Links: Book your spot to The Body Knows Retreat - save $500 with our early-bird discount (ends 14 May 2026) Come watch Chris & Filly in the musical production, Sunshine on Leith!!

We have a fun, very real, very imperfect episode for you today. Chris is doing a solo podcast… while driving to get a haircut (yep, you heard that right). Filly told Chris, “We need to record a podcast,” and she handballed it to Chris to do a solo episode, as she was focusing on some other exciting projects. Chris was trying to work out what to do, and when to record it “properly” in our fancy recording studio. And then…Chris thought, stuff it! I’m gonna practice what we preach: drop perfectionism, press record, and get it done anyway. And honestly? That’s the lesson. Because perfectionism doesn’t just show up in your health journey - it shows up in your house, your work, your to-do list, your healing protocols, and the way you judge yourself for not keeping up. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn’t require you to do everything perfectly… it requires you to do the next right thing, consistently, with a regulated system. You might even find yourself laughing along, nodding along, and realising you’ve been trying to juggle way more than your system can realistically hold. In today’s episode, Chris teaches you: How perfectionism can turn simple tasks into “mountains” (like the client whose kitchen table was so overwhelming she couldn’t start) Chris’s juggling metaphor: why 1–3 balls is manageable, and 4–5 balls is where most people start dropping everything How to sort your list into fires (urgent) vs important (not urgent) — and why a burnt out nervous system is wired for urgency How to tell what’s truly important: get clear on your life direction so you stop getting pulled into side quests Chris’s ESE filter to choose your focus: Enjoyable, Energy, Easy Show Note Links: Join the Ending Body Burnout Method waitlist Take the Ending Body Burnout Assessment here Disclaimer: This Ending Body Burnout Show podcast and any information, advice, opinions or statements within it do not constitute medical, health care or other professional advice, and are provided for general information purposes only.

Recently we had a client ask how we regulate on a daily basis, when we feel a “disturbance” in our system. We thought we’d flesh this out on today’s episode! Hopefully there will be some little gems, inspiration or reminders on how we “do it”, that you can implement in your own life. Chris & Filly cover: What a regulated nervous system is - and breaking old myths Daily rituals and routines we use to nourish ourselves, to support a healthy nervous system Why it’s important to learn how to be in tune with what you need and organically support and love yourself (vs using “tools” to regulate) How we regulate when we get “disturbed” by small things Deeper rewiring work for bigger “disturbances” Show Note Links: The Body Knows Retreat - learn more here Book in for a Connect The Dots Initial Consult Join the Ending Body Burnout Method waitlis t What A Functional Medicine Practitioner Eats episode Hi New Peeps!
