You don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward. This minisode is about life transitions, self-trust, and the power of choosing differently now - without certainty. A reflection on being guided into alignment while embracing both your humanity and your divinity.| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Learn more about Kangen Water | https://consciouswater.org/?a=rdx43Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492

What happens when a woman is truly undisturbed in birth? Everything changes. I’m joined by my own home birthing midwife Janine O'Brien, who is a heart-led private midwife and founder of IBIRTH Intimate Birth & Beginnings. We explore birth beyond the system - as a sacred, undisturbed experience that can awaken deep trust in the female body. We explore many juicy areas that are key on the pregnancy journey and into the birth space, including the conditioning that arises during pregnancy, the courage it takes to choose home birth, your birth team, and why women reclaiming birth on their own terms matters now more than ever. We also dive into the realities of early motherhood and parenting overall. My personal home birth story - birthing my daughter Violet - and how surrender, breath, and deep inner trust shaped a profoundly transformative experience is also weaved into this powerful and intimate conversation.This episode is for any woman ready to trust herself more deeply and remember - your body knows how to birth.| Janine O'Brien |Website: http://www.ibirth.com.au/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janineatibirth/| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/

This episode might trigger you and that’s the point.We’re taught to build a life that looks right. Study hard. Get the title. Stay in the system. Be someone that makes sense to the world.I did all of that.And then it all fell apart.What came wasn’t a gentle awakening - it was shock, grief, and a truth I couldn’t ignore. The kind of truth that disrupts everything you’ve worked for. The kind that asks you to walk away from the very identity you built your life around.So I did.I chose myself over my psychology career. Over the years of study. Over the safety of a title. Over being understood.And it felt like warfare.Because choosing yourself isn’t always empowering at first - it’s disorienting, confronting, and scary. It asks you to let go of who you’ve been told to be, without knowing who you’re becoming.But here’s the truth no one talks about:Clinging to an identity that isn’t aligned will cost you far more than walking away ever will.On the other side of that collapse, I found something real.A life that isn’t performative.A path that isn’t dictated by systems.A version of me that is fully alive, embodied, and unapologetic. A version where my passion gets to soar!If you feel like the life you’ve built isn’t actually yours, this is your permission to question everything.| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/

This minisode has been close to my heart for the past year - being asked by life to release, to shed, to let parts of myself quietly die that are no longer aligned.We’ve just closed the Year of the Snake, a powerful symbol of shedding skin. But truthfully, change isn’t seasonal - it’s part of being human. It’s part of being alive.Struggle only appears when the mind tries to cling to what the soul has already outgrown. The soul knows how to move forward. The body knows. Yet the human experience of letting go can feel tender, disorienting, even confronting.In this minisode, I share the practical tools, mindset shifts and affirmations that support me through these evolutionary turning points - especially when my nervous system wants certainty but life is asking for surrender.If you’re in a season of rebirth, of unravelling, of becoming, know that you are not alone.We are all shedding. We are all evolving. We are all in this together.Tread lightly.Much love,Olivia | Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Learn more about Kangen Water & the Enagic Business | https://consciouswater.org/?a=rdx43Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492

For YEARS I was carrying so much 'stuff' that was not uniquely mine. Over the years of conscious development and 'inner work', I learnt a lot of it was energy I would pick up from certain places or people, and even emotions and thought patterns from my past that no longer served me in the present. Until I learnt how to clean my energy and be consistent with it..something I call energetic hygiene. In this minisode, I speak to how essential this practice is when you are expanding your vibrational field and frequency. And not only the need to do this type of 'cleaning' regularly, but also to do it from an open-hearted space.| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Learn more about Kangen Water & the Enagic Business | https://consciouswater.org/?a=rdx43 Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492

Have you noticed when you strong emotions come through that your mind and body may sometimes try and resist experiencing them to the fullest? I certainly have and do. In this minisode, I share my personal experience of this occurring, how following previous spiritual teachings of keeping 'neutral' has hindered my healing, and a step-by-step guide that I use to drop into my body to receive deep wisdom within. Feeling is the work that results in true transformation and embodiment of the YOU you came here to be. | Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Learn more about Kangen Water | https://consciouswater.org/?a=rdx43Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492

Have you ever tried to focus on the present moment, the 'here and now' and found it really hard to anchor into? I see you! In this minisode, I share how shifting my choice of words has helped me be more present simply by choosing to see 'what is'. The 'what is' has calmed my mind and activated my heart to take the lead in my daily life - less 'illusion stories' and being 'in my own way' and more authentic living and being.Tune in for a bite size episode and enhance your daily vibe.| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Learn more about Kangen Water | https://consciouswater.org/?a=rdx43Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492

Part 3 is here and its a potent one that ties the previous episodes together. Why? Because the moment I dropped fully into acceptance (in my body, not just my mind), the resistance to the chaos and uncertainty disappeared QUICKLY. I did not just wake up one day with it, but I practiced it by chipping away at being a bigger and better person - being as much love as I can be. This is where acceptance became my superpower as a mama. If you are open to discovering what can change the ‘game’ of embracing life during the season of parenthood, you’ve got to listen to this episode. | Olivia Maxwell |Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492 

Have you ever felt stuck in heavy and draining self-talk? The thoughts that keep you spiralling and contribute to feeling ‘small’? Part 2 of my 3-part maternity and parenthood series speaks to being in this type of ‘mud’. Lets face it, we cannot escape this part of life anyway, however, when parenting, there is literally no hiding even if you try. This is why I speak to choosing the higher path instead. The higher path does not mean getting rid of the disturbing thoughts and emotions yet its creating space for it all so you can come back into wonder and curiosity that life constantly gives us. | Olivia Maxwell |Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492 

Oh hello parenthood! I am officially a mother and wow what a life changing experience it has been. I feel honoured to be in this chapter and excited to share the revelations I have witnessed and how my previous coping 'tools' have really been put to the test on a whole new level. Tune into this Part 1 of 3 series focused on shifting suffering and outdated beliefs to freedom in the early stages of motherhood. To kick it off, I start with the power of catching the 'shoulds' and how presence to drop into the heart changed the game for me when I felt most stuck, frightened, and drained.| Olivia Maxwell |Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492 

In this solo episode, Olivia explores the deeper layers of victim consciousness — a collective energy that's rapidly dissolving, whether we’re ready or not.She shares the three roles within the victim archetype (Victim, Perpetrator, Hero/Rescuer), how these show up in healers, therapists, and family dynamics, and her own vulnerable insights navigating them while pregnant.This conversation is a powerful invitation to tune into your body, notice your energetic imprints, and begin the work of returning to your authentic, sovereign self.Whether you're in a season of chaos or transition, this episode will meet you there — and gently guide you back to your truth.| Olivia Maxwell |Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/awakened_mbs/Website | https://awakenedmbs.com.au/Subscribe to Peel the Onion Podcast:Spotify | https://open.spotify.com/show/74wJX83vBjA9YnSQUqp3wH?si=8c27354003324d76iTunes | https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peel-the-onion-podcast-by-olivia-maxwell/id1783706492
