  • More than just a cleanse: The emotional release behind colon hydrotherapy
    Apr 22 2025

    In this episode we dive deep into the world of colonic hydrotherapy but not in the way you might expect. Yes, it’s about flushing out waste, but it's also about releasing emotional and energetic baggage we've been holding onto for far too long.

    I chat with Alicia Luccitti - Owner of Vitality Flow Colonics. A beautiful, holistic colon hydrotherapy clinic located in Corrimal, just outside of the Wollongong CBD.

    Alicia shares with me how this gentle therapy can help us let go physically, emotionally and spiritually. We explore how trauma, stress, and suppressed emotions can settle in the gut and how colonics can be a profound tool for reconnecting with our bodies and our true selves.

    This isn’t just about digestion, it’s about transformation.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • What colonic hydrotherapy actually is and how it works
    • How the body holds onto emotions especially in the gut
    • The link between gut health, emotions and energetic blocks
    • Why “letting go” is a full body, full soul experience
    • How to reconnect with your body in gentle, nourishing ways

    Whether you’re curious about gut health, emotional detox, or holistic self care, this episode will open your eyes to what it really means to let go.

    The benefits of a colonic:

    • Natural relief from constipation

  • Bonus Ep. Some things I wish more people knew
    Mar 29 2025

    The Studio Chat Podcast turns 3 today!

    I can’t believe it’s been three years since I hit record on the very first episode. 138 episodes and over 7,000+ downloads later this podcast has reached people in 57 countries and that blows my mind. I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. Whether you’ve been here since day one or you’ve only just found this podcast, I appreciate you. Every listen, every message, and every share means the world to me.

    So, to celebrate, I’m dropping this special bonus episode—one that I think will really hit home for a lot of you. We’re going to talk about some of the biggest struggles we all face:

    • Worrying about what others think of us
    • Seeking validation from others
    • Why we do things we know aren’t good for us—but keep doing them anyway
    • Why we repeat the same patterns over and over again
    • Feeling stuck in life
    • Feeling burnt out and overwhelmed
    • Overthinking everything
    • That mean little voice inside our head
    • Feeling bored with life
    • Constantly searching for a soulmate
    • Struggling to connect with your teenager
    • When your body feels like it’s working against you
    • And even why you can’t sleep at night

    This episode is packed with real talk and things I wish more people understood about themselves. So, grab a cuppa, take a deep breath, and let’s dive in.
