Create the Courage to be Fearless

Send us Fan MailYou can be outwardly successful, capable, and still feel like something essential is missing — often because a dream was quietly set aside along the way.In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Pattullo — creative coach, author, and musician — who returned to music after 25 years and released her debut single at 52.We explore what really keeps people stuck when it comes to creative confidence and personal growth: fear of judgement, conditioning that encourages us to stay small, and the inner stories we repeat that make us believe it’s “too late.”Emily shares her Twelve Creative Steps to a Fulfilling Life — a simple but powerful journalling process designed to help you move from where you are now toward the life you actually want. We talk about how writing and drawing can help bypass overthinking, how breathwork can regulate the nervous system, and why reconnecting with childhood joy can reveal deeper purpose.We also explore creativity in the age of AI, and why human intuition, expression, and discernment matter more than ever in a noisy digital world.If you’ve been telling yourself your time has passed, this conversation offers a different perspective — one rooted in possibility, creativity, and courage.Website: 12creativesteps.comWebsite: 12creativesteps.comInstagram: emilypattullo_FB: Emily Pattullo Creates12 Creative Steps to a Fulfilling Life book can be found on online as a beautiful hardback book at amazon and other book sites, or downloaded as a PDF from Emily’s website. A prerecorded online course of each of the 12 steps is on UDEMY course website (https://www.udemy.com/course/12-creative-steps-to-a-fulfilling-life/?referralCode=2C1B667C8B76F7F9B478).

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore what intuition really is and whether it can be trained, tested, and trusted when the stakes are high.I sit down with Linda Eastburn—entrepreneur, author, intuitive educator, and real estate investor—to break down how “inner guidance” shows up in real decisions involving money, timing, and risk. Linda shares the moments she followed a clear knowing, including property choices that helped protect her ahead of the 2007–2008 financial crisis.We also get into the question most people ask: can intuition actually be proven? Linda explains how she tested accuracy using a remote viewing–style process—selecting random addresses, describing properties in a deep state, then physically visiting them to compare results.From there, we dive into manifesting and why visualisation alone can feel inconsistent. We talk about heart coherence, compassion, intention, and how these influence outcomes, along with Linda’s framework involving energy fields, biophotons, and timing across past, present, and future.You’ll also hear a powerful synchronicity that shifted the direction of her career, leading into her work as a health intuitive and her exploration of brainwave states.To close, Linda shares simple, practical ways to begin:– Dream journalling with a clear question– Meditation that invites an answer– Tracking results to build trust in your intuitionIf you’re curious about developing intuition in a grounded, testable way—and applying it to real life—this conversation offers both perspective and practical tools.Subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more people discover the show.https://lindaeastburn.com/linda-eastburn-s-p-ihttps://www.facebook.com/linda.eastburn If you are enjoying my work then you can support me by 'buying me a coffee' at this page   I look forward to connecting with you Anita Mattu https://linktr.ee/AnitaMattu

Send us Fan MailChronic pain is often treated like a permanent identity—but what if that assumption is wrong?In this episode, we sit down with stress management and historical trauma specialist Elizabeth Kipp, who spent decades living in severe chronic pain, was prescribed powerful medications, and was told she would never heal. Then everything changed. After entering a holistic chronic pain programme focused on resetting the stress response, she walked out 52 days later pain-free.This isn’t about a miracle—it’s about understanding how healing actually works.We explore how the nervous system drives chronic pain, why the body can heal when the conditions are right, and what it takes to move from helplessness to agency.
