Bullying isn’t just a school playground problem - it follows people into adulthood, workplaces, relationships, and even our own inner dialogue.

In this raw episode of Power Within, we open up about our own experiences of being bullied, reflecting on how it shaped us, toughened us, and still impacts how we move through the world today. We also explore a powerful twist most parents overlook: What if your child is the one doing the bullying?

From playground punch-ups to verbal attacks in the workplace, we talk about how to tell the difference between banter and bullying, and how silence, sarcasm, or sharp one-liners can sometimes hold more power than retaliation.

You'll also hear us share a heart-breaking story from a client whose bullying trauma followed her into adulthood holding the belief that being “the best” will finally make it stop.

This conversation might be uncomfortable, but it’s necessary.

We talk parenting, social media, adult confrontation, gender and sexuality discrimination, and the importance of creating safe spaces - at home, at work, and in our own heads.

For anyone who’s been bullied, has a child navigating school, or is ready to rewrite their role in someone else's story, take a listen to this episode.

Ever wonder why you feel low even when life should feel fine? In this episode of Power Within, we’re unpacking the science and soul behind what really makes us feel good - your happy hormones.

We break down the “dream team” of mood and motivation: oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. These little chemicals are responsible for how connected, motivated, and balanced you feel - and when they’re off? So is everything else.

From comfort eating to chasing a version of your younger self in the mirror, we talk honestly about what triggers our own low moods and how we (and our clients) find our way back. Whether it’s a steam room, a sunny day, finishing a task, or laughing your head off, this chat is packed with down-to-earth strategies to reset your mood without needing a prescription.

We also get real about self-reflection, emotional eating, relationship dynamics, and why it's OK to want space - plus how little acts of kindness can chemically shift your entire day.

This one’s a reminder that feeling good doesn’t come from a perfect weight or a perfect plan — it comes from understanding what you need to feel whole again.

Ever feel like you’re stuck in your own way? This episode of Power Within dives deep into the real talk around self-sabotage - what it looks like, where it hides in your everyday choices, and why it’s often rooted in fear, self-worth, and old stories.

We open up about how self-sabotage has shown up for us, our clients, and people we love - from procrastinating on dreams to chasing validation, overloading invisible to-do lists, and shrinking ourselves in the name of staying safe.

Whether it's putting off going back to school, stepping away from an opportunity out of fear, or constantly telling yourself you're not good enough, we’ve been there. And we’re unpacking it all.

This is your nudge to recognise those invisible roadblocks and challenge the internal voice that’s holding you back. Because success isn't just about pushing harder - sometimes it’s about finally giving yourself permission to rest, trust, and take up space.
