What if pleasure isn't the reward you earn once you finally make it — but the actual fuel that gets you there?In this episode I sit down with Regan Figg, the OG Pleasurepreneur, for one of the most fun and refreshing conversations I have had on this podcast. Regan is a published author, podcast host and pleasure-led business coach helping women who are far too fabulous to be broke, bored or burnt out by their business make way more money with way more pleasure.We talk about how Regan built her entire coaching philosophy after healing from perinatal mood disorders and discovering that leading with pleasure was the missing piece. Why so many women undercharge, overgive and accept prices that don't actually feel good. Regan's hilarious and brilliant pricing formula — yes, we are talking peacocks, pizza and vajazzling. The real neuroscience behind why pleasure activates our reward system and makes us more focused, motivated and magnetic in our business. Why novelty is a powerful tool when you feel stuck or blocked. And how Regan wrote her book from the middle out by simply choosing the most enjoyable way to do it.By the end of this episode you will walk away with:A completely new lens on pleasure — not as an indulgence, but as a legitimate business strategy and performance toolRegan's pricing exercise to help you charge what actually feels good instead of what you think you should chargeAn understanding of why your energy and resentment around pricing is silently turning clients awayA simple practice for breaking through business blocks using novelty and pleasurePermission to stop pushing and start choosing what you actually want to do in your businessThe reminder that your desires don't need to make sense yet — they are information, and they are worth honouringThis episode is for every woman in business who has been pushing, forcing and doing things because she thinks she should — instead of because she actually wants to.Get curious about what brings you pleasure. That is where it all begins.Connect with Regan Figg:🎙 Podcast: The Pleasurepreneur Podcast📚 Book : https://www.amazon.com.au/Mothers-Pleasure-Modern-Redefining-Motherhood/dp/0645523704/ref=sr_1_5?crid=ODO1FLC07Z09&keywords=regan+figg&qid=1694392690&sprefix=%2Caps%2C304&sr=8-5📸 Instagram: @regan_fig💫 Pleasurepreneur Mastermind Waitlist (opening early August): https://reganfigg.com/mastermind/Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:🌐 Website: www.peta-leabrenda.com📸 Instagram: @petaleabrenda | @thewomanempireprojectJoin me in Bali this November for Temple of HER Sacred Balinese Retreat.November 5th-9th in the heart of Ubud, Bali.4 nights, 5 days.

This one is close to my heart.Today I am taking you behind the scenes of everything where The Woman Empire Project actually came from, what it cost me, what it taught me, and where it is going next.I share the lightning bolt moment in my hallway that started all of this. The $6,000 event that left me out of pocket and completely burnt out. The 12 weeks I worked 13 hours a day as a mum of four and what I would do completely differently now. And the vision that kept coming back to me over and over again until I finally said okay, this is happening.Because The Woman Empire Project networking events are launching. Monthly. On the Gold Coast. And I want you there.In this episode I talk about why I believe in-person events are the most powerful thing you can invest in right now. Why I kept talking myself out of the networking idea and why I finally stopped. What the events are going to look like every month. And why no one on earth can do what you do the way that only you can do it.This episode is for every woman who has been sitting on an idea and telling herself someone else is already doing it. Someone else is already doing it better. Who am I to do this?You are the one it got given to. And it is time to take the step.New episodes every Wednesday at 6am Tickets to the Woman Empire Project Networking Event: Friday 24th July 📍 Hinze Dam View Cafe — Private Room, Gold Coast ⏰ 9:30am — 11:30am 🎟 $34.95 https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-woman-empire-project-networking-event-tickets-1991742734134?aff=oddtdtcreatorMy graphic designer:Hannah Appel | Concept Dreaming www.conceptdreaming.comConnect with Peta-Lea Brenda: Instagram: @petaleabrenda | @thewomanempireproject Website: www.peta-leabrenda.com

This episode touches on anxiety and intrusive thoughts, please be gentle with yourself as you listen.This one is personal. Really personal.Last week I had a really bad 24 hours. My front door smashed in the middle of the night and I spent the whole night awake, scared and unsafe in my own home. I took it to my Instagram stories and the response was overwhelming — so many of you reached out, so many of you were going through the exact same thing. And I knew I needed to come in here and go a little deeper.Because anxiety has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I watched my mum have extreme panic attacks. I was calling ambulances for her as a child. And yet I have never allowed it to be a label I wear or a story I tell. I just deal with it and I get on with it.But in this episode I am getting really honest about what that actually looks like.I talk about my deep rooted fear of the dark and where I believe that comes from. My food anxiety that started two years ago and completely changed the way I eat every single day. The worst year of my life in 2017 when I could not be left alone and started having harm thoughts about my son, something I have never spoken about publicly before. The psychologist who made everything worse. And how I have built a toolkit over the years that genuinely gets me through.This episode is for every woman who is carrying something quietly. Who has never said it out loud. Who thinks she is the only one.You are not alone. And you can get through it.In this episode I cover the tools that help me most — Reiki, havening, calling in my angels, Joe Dispenza meditations — and why building your own toolkit is the most important thing you can do if anxiety is something you live with.This is one of the most vulnerable things I have shared on this podcast.

What if the patterns you keep repeating, the anxiety you carry, the pain in your body, the way you love and parent and show up in the world — what if some of it was never actually yours?In this episode I sit down with counsellor, family constellations facilitator and shamanic womancraft practitioner Antonia Kersting for one of the most profound and eye opening conversations I have had on this podcast. Antonia explains what family constellations actually is, how it works, and why it is one of the most powerful healing modalities available to women right now.We talk about what family constellations actually is and how a workshop works, how much of what we carry — our anxiety, our patterns, our pain — comes from generations before us, what intergenerational trauma really means and how it shows up in our everyday lives, the three orders of love and what happens when they go out of balance, how shamanic womancraft and family constellations weave together to create profound and lasting change, the difference between seeing a pattern and actually being free of it, and the miraculous shifts Antonia has witnessed in her clients including chronic physical symptoms disappearing and years of infertility resolving.I also share my own deeply personal story of carrying my mother's pain in my womb — and the moment it was returned and I never felt it again.This episode is for every woman who feels like she keeps repeating the same patterns no matter how much work she does. Who senses that some of what she is carrying is older than her. Who is ready to go seven generations back — and finally be free.You are the result of the love of thousands. And this episode will remind you of that.About Antonia Kersting: Antonia is a counsellor, family constellations facilitator and shamanic womancraft practitioner with a deep passion for helping women reconnect with their innate power. Drawing on years of experience in mental health, group processes and ancestral healing, she weaves together systemic constellations, somatic practices and rites of passage to support clients in returning to their authenticity and strength. Her workshops and private practice offer a safe and nurturing space for healing, empowering individuals to move beyond limitations and live an embodied, sovereign life.Connect with Antonia: Website: www.antoniakersting.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/antoniakersting Email: [email protected] with Peta-Lea Brenda: Website: www.peta-leabrenda.comInstagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject

How do you do it all?It is the question I get asked more than almost anything else. And for years my answer has been the same, I just do what I have to do. But today I am finally breaking that down. Because that answer has never actually helped anyone.I am recording this episode hiding in my bedroom while dinner is on the stove, my kids have scissors out in the lounge room, and my fifteen year old is on babysitting duty. And honestly? That is kind of the whole point.Because the secret to doing it all, the four kids, the business, the self-care, the big boundaries, all of it, comes down to one thing. Dropping the expectation that you have to have it together.In this episode I get really honest about how I have raised four children with big boundaries and zero mum guilt. Why I have never once held myself to the expectation of what a mother should look like. How I take two hour baths, go on international holidays by myself, and show up for my life without apology.And why I believe that the expectations we hold ourselves to are the very thing keeping so many women stuck, overwhelmed and running on empty.This episode is for every woman and every mother who is doing everything and still feels like it is not enough. It is your reminder that it gets to be messy. It gets to be imperfect. And it gets to be yours, completely on your terms.Join me on November 5th-9th in Bali at Temple of HER Retreat https://www.peta-leabrenda.com/retreatNew episodes every Wednesday at 6am.Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda: Website: www.peta-leabrenda.comInstagram: @petaleabrenda | @thewomanempireproject

What does intimacy actually mean? Because it is not what most of us think.In this episode I sit down with Leah Amy Elson — a Certified Embodied Relationship and Intimacy Practitioner and Somatic Healer — for one of the most honest, open and deeply moving conversations I have had on this podcast. Leah shares that intimacy is where excitement meets vulnerability and once you hear it explained that way, you will never see your relationship the same way again.This episode is for the woman who feels disconnected from her partner even though she is not alone. The woman who has lost the spark and doesn't know how to find her way back. The woman who is done waiting for things to get better and is ready to actually do something about it.You will walk away from this episode understanding what real intimacy looks and feels like, why asking for what you want will save your relationship, how to reignite desire after it has gone quiet, what somatic healing actually is and how it brings you back into your body, and what it truly means to love yourself so fully that any relationship in your life only ever adds to it.About Leah Amy ElsonLeah Amy Elson is a Certified Embodied Relationship and Intimacy Practitioner and Somatic Healer who helps women rediscover themselves and find self-worth through body-based practices. She works with couples to heal attachment and relational wounds, reignite desire in long-term relationships, and explore erotic alchemy together.

In this episode of the Woman Empire Project, I'm joined by Vedic Meditation teacher and breathwork facilitator Tam Taouss — and this conversation is one I know you're going to come back to again and again.Tam and I met at She Speaks in February, and from the moment she spoke on that stage I knew I had to get her on the podcast.

That matters more than we realise.In this episode we talk about:What Vedic Meditation actually is — and how it's completely different to what you think meditation looks likeMantras, why yours is personal to you, and why that mattersHow 20 minutes of deep Vedic meditation is the equivalent of 4 hours of deep restThe 72 x 20-minute blocks we all have in a day — and why you only need one or two of themTam's personal story of raising a daughter with autism and how meditation literally changed her householdBreathwork — the tool that's free, always with you, and can reset your state in under 60 secondsWhy women set the nervous system for the entire family (and what to do with that truth)The two best times of day for a mother to meditateTam Taouss is a Vedic Meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, NLP coach and speaker.

In this episode, I’m coming to you straight from a park (yes, with kids in the background) to show you what it actually looks like to stop waiting and start moving. Because the truth is, the longer you wait for the perfect moment, the more disconnected you become from the very thing you’re here to create.We dive deep into the real reason you’re stuck — and it’s not a lack of time, knowledge, or readiness. It’s fear, dressed up as “I just want it to be perfect.”I share personal stories, powerful mindset shifts, and practical journaling prompts to help you uncover what’s really underneath your perfectionism… so you can finally move forward.If you’ve been waiting for the right time, the perfect plan, or the “better” version of you, this is your wake-up call.Because she’s already you. And it’s time to begin.What You’ll Take AwayWhy perfectionism is actually fear in disguiseThe truth about “perfect” (and why it doesn’t exist)The real cost of waiting and staying stuckHow to identify what your perfectionism is protecting you fromPowerful journaling prompts to uncover your blocksA simple 24-hour action challenge to shift you into momentumThe reminder that confidence is built through action — not before itJournal Prompts to Move Through PerfectionismWhat am I actually waiting for?Get honest, what needs to happen before you finally begin?What would happen if I did this imperfectly?List out the real consequences (pros and cons) of just starting now.What am I afraid people will think or say?Where is fear of judgement or being seen holding you back?What am I making it mean about me if it’s not good?If it doesn’t land perfectly, what story are you attaching to that?Where in my life did I learn that I had to get it right?Go back.

Today I am talking about overthinking and why so many women stay stuck in it, why it keeps you frozen, and what you need to do instead if you want to actually move forward.Because the truth is this:You are not stuck because you do not know what to do.You are stuck because you are overthinking every step instead of moving.In this episode, I share my belief that overthinking is often avoidance in disguise. It can feel like preparation. It can feel like you are gathering more knowledge, getting more ready, waiting for the perfect moment. But in reality, what is often happening underneath it all is fear, resistance, and your nervous system trying to keep you in what feels safe and familiar.I also open up about my own experience with speaking on stage and the real, honest thoughts that still come up even now. Even after speaking on multiple stages over the last two years, I still experience those moments where my mind wants to find a way out. That desire to avoid the very thing I know I am here to do. And that is exactly why this conversation matters.Because growth does not come from thinking your way there.Clarity comes from action. Certainty comes from movement. Self-trust is built in real time.Inside this episode, we explore:why overthinking is really avoidancehow your nervous system is wired to keep you safewhy your brain tries to solve the entire path and leaves you overwhelmedhow to break big dreams into micro, manageable stepshow self-trust is built every time you follow throughwhy your next level is not in the familiar, the safe, or the controlledI also share the 3-step shift out of overthinking, which I want you to come back to whenever you feel stuck, overwhelmed or unclear.The 3-Step Shift Out of Overthinking1. Name the decisionAsk yourself: What am I actually avoiding deciding?Most women are not stuck on what to do. They are stuck on what that decision will require of them — visibility, being judged, outgrowing people, taking responsibility, or letting go of an old version of themselves.2. Choose the next step availableBring it back to one simple question:If I stopped trying to control the outcome, what would I do next?Not the whole plan. Not the perfect step. Just the next available one.3. Move within 24 hoursThis is where self-trust is built.When you act within 24 hours, you interrupt the overthinking loop, keep the energy moving, and prove to yourself that you are safe to take action.This episode is your reminder that:you do not need more timeyou do not need more clarityyou do not need another opinionyou do not need to keep watching how everyone else is doing itYou need to decide.And you need to move.Because your life does not change from what you think about.It changes from what you do next.If this episode lands for you, I would love for you to take these steps, try them for yourself, and reflect on what shifts. This really can be a game changer in the way you make decisions, move through discomfort, and stop letting overthinking run the show.If you loved this episode, please share it with a friend or on your social media so this message can reach more women who need it.

This episode is a full-body exhale.I’m taking you inside my recent trip to Bali—what I did, what I experienced, and more importantly… what shifted within me.From the moment I landed, I chose to fully detach from my everyday life.

This episode is a raw, powerful reflection on confidence, courage, and what it truly means to celebrate yourself — unapologetically.After creating and hosting her own birthday event, The 36 Frequency, Peta-Lea shares the deeper layers behind the decision. What started as a spontaneous idea became a full embodiment of self-trust, bold action, and living life as a ceremony.Inside this episode, she opens up about:Acting instantly on aligned ideas without letting fear take overBeing questioned by others — and choosing not to shrinkThe moment she was called “stuck up”… and what that really revealedHow society has conditioned us to judge confident womenWhy so many women hold back from being seenThe practice of doing things that feel scary — and how it gets easierMoving through fear (even when it doesn’t fully go away)Reflecting on a year of deep growth, travel, and expansionThe power of celebrating yourself and your life fullyThis is an episode for the woman who:Knows she’s meant for more but is holding herself backFeels the pull to be seen, expressed, and expandedIs ready to stop caring what people thinkDesires confidence, but doesn’t yet feel fully anchored in itWhat you’ll take away:A powerful reframe on confidence vs “being too much”Permission to celebrate yourself boldlyThe understanding that fear doesn’t mean stopA deeper trust in your own desires and ideasThe reminder that confidence is built through action, not waitingIf you’ve been waiting for a sign to do the thing that feels bold, scary, or even a little “too much”… this is it.Connect with me:Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireprojectEmail: [email protected]: www.peta-leabrenda.comFacebook: Peta-Lea BrendaIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a woman in your life who needs to hear it.Your shares, reviews, and messages mean so much and help this podcast reach women all over the world.

In this powerful episode of The Woman Empire Project, Peta-Lea Brenda dives into the world of manifestation, intention, energy, dreams, belief, and aligned action.This conversation is a reminder that your dreams are not random. If a vision keeps calling you, if a desire keeps returning, if a life keeps living inside your heart, it is there for a reason.

Inside, Peta-Lea opens her heart and reflects on the Year of the Snake, a year of shedding, endings, identity release, and deep personal evolution.

In this episode, Peta-Lea opens her heart and shares the real, tender truth behind taking a powerful pause. As the Woman Empire Project podcast prepares for its intentional break, she invites you into a raw conversation about presence, intuition, motherhood, and the stories we tell ourselves. This is a gentle wake-up call to look at time, priorities, and the way we move through our days. From social media addiction to rewriting lifelong stories, this episode is an invitation to return to self, create spaciousness, and honour what truly matters.   Inside the episode, I talk about: Why I’m closing parts of my business + social media for 8 weeks How social platforms shape our intuition, energy and boundaries The truth behind “I don’t have time” Presence in motherhood and the reality of mental load Trying on new stories, new versions of self, and unlearning What happens when we actually honour our peace For years I believed I had to be “on” all the time. But the truth is, the world keeps turning when you slow down. And when you do, clarity arrives. If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your own voice… this episode will land deeply.   To enter my giveaway head to the link below:   Secure your ticket to She Visioned between 24th November and 30th November and go into the draw to win a 90 minute energy healing session with me via distant.   She Visioned is the night where your inner world finally gets the microphone. It’s where the noise drops away and your true frequency rises. A space where desire becomes sensation, where your vision becomes something you don’t just think about you feel it in your body. This is where you return to the woman who knows. The woman who creates. The woman who remembers her power. In this sacred portal, sound moves you, energy clears you, and your future self calls you forward with clarity and devotion. She Visioned isn’t an event… it’s a becoming.   Connect with Peta-lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject   If you loved this episode remember to leave a 5 star review and drop into the comments and let me know which part spoke to you the most.  

This episode is a real-time, unfiltered journey into a three-day personal development immersion, recorded from the car, from the breakthroughs, and from the heart. Join Peta-Lea as she walks into the Dream Out Loud Method weekend and brings you along for the ride: the fears, the honest self-reflection, the identity unraveling, the stories we tell ourselves, and the moments that stretch us wide open. Across three days, Peta-Lea uncovers a core pattern around visibility, control, freedom, and the stories that quietly shape who we believe we’re allowed to be. You’ll hear the shifts as they happen — tired, honest, raw, empowered — and be invited into your own reflection around the beliefs holding you back from your next level. A full-body, real-time transformation delivered straight to your ears. This isn’t polished. This isn’t edited. This is honest, gritty, human transformation.   Inside the episode I share: The surprising fear that surfaced around being seen Why my body tightened the moment I watched the event sneak peek How childhood conditioning still shows up in our adult behaviour What happens when strangers reflect back how they “see” you The belief that shocked me — and how I’m starting to shift it The powerful lesson on storytelling that changed everything for me   If you’ve ever felt held back, stuck in a loop, or frustrated by the gap between who you are and who you know you’re meant to be — this one will land deeply for you. I also talk about how these shifts weave into motherhood, leadership, and the way we allow ourselves to take up space… even when it scares us.   Connect with Peta-lea Brenda: Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject www.peta-leabrenda.com   Share this episode, leave a comment and don't forget to subscribe so you can be the first to know when a new episode drops.        

In this deeply moving episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, Peta-Lea sits down with her dear friend, student, and mentee, Jess — a woman who went from complete physical and emotional burnout to living a life filled with peace, purpose, and spiritual alignment. Once a high-achieving young manager in the corporate world, Jess lived in a constant state of survival — ticking boxes, pushing harder, and carrying the weight of “doing it all.” But beneath the surface, her body was screaming for rest. After years of ignoring the whispers, life intervened. A sudden collapse, a trip to the emergency room, and a diagnosis of extreme burnout became the catalyst for everything that followed. What unfolded next was a complete rebirth. From her healing journey to her spiritual awakening — this conversation reveals the raw, honest truth about what it means to fall apart, listen to your body, and rise again.   Peta-Lea and Jess explore:  The hidden cost of burnout and the culture of “good girl” conditioning  How the body intervenes when we refuse to slow down  The moment Jess’s guides stepped in and took the wheel  The power of surrender and learning to trust your inner guidance  How Reiki became the tool that reconnected Jess to her soul  The birth of her business, Harmonious Haven, and what true alignment feels like  The importance of sacred mentorship and finding your own light after darkness Jess’s story is a powerful reminder that breakdowns are not the end — they are often the beginning of remembering who you truly are. If you’ve ever found yourself exhausted, disconnected, or questioning whether there’s more to life — this episode will awaken something deep within you.

In this heartfelt and wildly honest episode, Peta-Lea takes you on the journey behind one of the most powerful manifestations of her life, her trip to Italy. What began as a casual coffee chat with a friend turned into a full-bodied declaration: “I’m going to Italy.” No plan, no money in her account, just conviction. Within days, the Universe began to move in ways she couldn’t have imagined, mentorship clients appeared, opportunities unfolded, and every detail aligned perfectly. In this part one episode, Peta-Lea opens up about:  The exact moment she decided — not wished, but decided — she was going to Italy How declaring her desire to the Universe unlocked a ripple of divine support  The courage it took to take radical action (yes, including becoming an Uber Eats driver)  What it really looks like behind the scenes of manifestation as a mother and business owner  The spiritual signs — feathers, birds, numbers, the goddess — that confirmed she was on the right path And how her pendulum led her straight to a Roman apartment, number 111, watched over by a winged goddess This is more than a travel story, it’s a reminder of what happens when you choose trust over doubt, faith over fear, and action over hesitation. It’s for every woman who’s ever felt the whisper of something more calling her forward but wondered if she was brave enough to answer. Because when you say yes, the Universe rearranges everything to meet you there.   Share this episode with a soul sister, tag @thewomanempireproject @petaleabrenda.   Join me next week as I continue this conversation in part two.   Friday 7th November join 5 powerful women as we hold an activation event on the Gold Coast.

In this episode, I sit down with international event expert Bex to unpack the five key reasons why every business should be running events, even if it feels overwhelming. We dive into the truth about connection, visibility, feedback, and the massive content opportunities events create. Whether you're service-based, product-based, or just dreaming of launching your first event, this episode is a behind-the-scenes look at why being in the room changes everything.   Bex has worked in every facet of events for over 2 decades. She has so much in depth knowledge after working across festivals, business events, expos, trade shows, pop up activations and more. She was recently described as the invisible hands weaving magic into the fabric of an event. Bex is now teaching what she has learnt over more than 20 years, in the form of in person masterclasses and an online course ready to launch later this year.   We talk about: 💥 Showcasing your product/service in a real, tangible way 💥 The power of people meeting you, the founder, in person 💥 Getting live feedback that could shape your offers 💥 Creating 6 months of content in a few days 💥 And why in-person connection cuts through the noise like nothing else If you’re ready to elevate your brand, grow your trust, and stand out — events are your next move.   Connect with Bex Harris:   https://www.instagram.com/on.brand.events/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bexharris/ https://www.onbrandevents.com.au/   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com   Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject   Join Bex myself and 3 other incredible women as we hold an event for women Friday evening 8/8.   All event details below: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1420299125919?aff=oddtdtcreator https://bit.ly/4loNUxq    If you loved this episode, let us know by leaving a 5 star rating and review.

What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding—stillness, silence, your own thoughts is actually the portal to your peace? In this deeply moving and soul-stirring episode, I sit down with the gorgeous Callie Brown, a woman whose journey from child performer to embodied coach is both powerful and profoundly relatable. We unravel the layers of self-inquiry, the fear of sitting in silence, and what it means to come home to yourself—again and again.   Together, we explore:  Why one simple daily question can shift your entire energy The moment Callie had a “nervous breakthrough” and what it revealed Redefining meditation + self-connection in a busy, overstimulated world  Releasing guilt as a mother when choosing yourself  Co-regulation, safety, and why true healing begins in community Why doing “the work” is less about bloom and more about becoming The healing power of presence, curiosity, and shared humanity This conversation will make you laugh, cry, remember parts of yourself you’ve long silenced, and most of all—remind you that you don’t need permission to return to who you’ve always been.   Callie Brown is an avid conversationalist, relational coach, and homeschooling mama of two. She believes that better relationships make for a better life—and she’s on a mission to prove it, one honest conversation at a time. From ages 6 to 26, Callie told stories through professional acting gigs in film, television, and theatre. But it was a nervous breakthrough in her mid-twenties that sparked a deeper fascination: reworking the inner stories we carry to reconnect with our authentic voice. Since then, she’s spent the past 17 years coaching individuals and groups into more honest, aligned, and nourishing relationships with themselves and others. She knows firsthand how powerful it is to feel like you matter—and to invest in a life that feels true to you. You’ll often find Callie bobbing to a tune, sipping on a matcha, and cooking up nutrient-dense delights—always keeping an eye out for her next chance to take the stage and deliver a heart-fuelled keynote to an open-hearted audience.   Connect with Callie: https://www.calliebrown.com.au https://www.instagram.com/calliecoach?igsh=MW1jNTVqOHYwaXdkbg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com   Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject

What if everything you desire is already within you — but you’re waiting for someone else to hand it to you?   In this powerful and heart-opening episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I sit down with TEDx speaker, mindset mentor and online presence coach Joyce Santiago Savage.   Joyce Santiago Savage is an international motivational speaker, mindset mentor, and founder of Your Voice – Your Choice (YVYC). With over 20 years of leadership experience across multiple industries, she empowers women to upgrade their self-talk, build unshakable confidence, and create lives of purpose and impact.

Her mission: “Update your Self-Talk, Upgrade your Life.”   We dive deep into what it really takes to believe in yourself, ask for what you want, and upgrade your life — starting with the way you speak to yourself. From her story of letting go of her business card mid-networking event, to taking bold steps onto international stages (including TEDx Manila and upcoming talks in Japan), Joyce shares how confidence is built — not born — and how choosing yourself daily is the key to becoming the woman you came here to be.

In this solo episode, Peta-Lea shares an honest reflection on what happens when we slowly stop doing the things that once lit us up. From journaling to 4am rituals, movement, meditation, and morning cacao — she opens up about the powerful habits that used to nourish her soul… and what shifted when she let them go. This is a conversation for the woman who’s feeling stuck, flat, or frustrated. Who knows what helps her feel aligned and powerful, but somehow keeps choosing the scroll, the sleep-in, the easy way out.

In this vulnerable,  solo heart-opening episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I’m inviting you into a conversation that’s been whispering in my soul, one that unfolded after five days completely offline. No Instagram. No emails. No notifications. Just the land, my family, my breath, and my own heart.   What started as a simple camping trip became a profound journey of remembering: Remembering who I am without the noise. Remembering what truly matters beyond the screen. Remembering that my worth was never tied to a number, a like, or a view.   Inside this episode, I share: How being still allowed me to truly hear myself again The confronting realisations that surfaced around social media, self-worth, and business The truth about the hustle culture we’ve been sold — and what happens when we decide to step outside it Why success is an internal feeling, not an external measurement The permission slip you didn’t know you needed to slow down, breathe deeper, and live differently   This episode is for: The woman who feels like she's been doing everything "right" but still feels like something is missing. The woman caught in the endless cycle of showing up, striving, posting, pushing — and wondering, for what? The woman craving a softer, more sustainable way to live, to lead, and to love her life again.   If you’ve been needing a moment to breathe... a moment to reflect... a moment to remember — this is it. Your soul has been asking for stillness. Your body has been craving presence. Your heart is ready to come home.   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com   Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject

This episode is a celebration of what happens when women say YES to their joy. YES to their body. YES to their feminine power. Join me as I’m joined by the radiant women of Center Stage: La Soirée, a 10-week immersive dance and performance course where we laughed, cried, danced, and transformed together. You’ll hear behind-the-scenes reflections, heartfelt stories, and the power of what was created when we dared to be seen.   From the electrifying energy backstage to the roar of a supportive crowd, this episode is about so much more than a performance.

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or trapped inside a body that no longer feels like her own. I sit down with the radiant and resilient Dani Seadon, a mother of four, midwife, and holistic wellness mentor, who shares her remarkable story of turning a devastating autoimmune diagnosis into a catalyst for deep healing and transformation. Told she had rheumatoid arthritis and would need to be on chemotherapy drugs for life, Dani made a decision that changed everything: “This is not my story.” What followed was a brave journey back to self — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Dani didn’t just defy the diagnosis… she redefined what it means to take your power back.  This episode is for you if… You feel like your body is screaming for rest or change, but you keep pushing through You’ve been given a diagnosis or label that doesn’t feel aligned with your truth You’re caught in cycles of burnout, fatigue, or chronic stress You’re looking for a more holistic, empowered path to wellness and healing You want to learn how mindset, belief, and daily rituals can create real change  Here’s what you’ll walk away with: A deep understanding of how unhealed trauma, suppressed emotions, and stress manifest in the body Practical tools to begin shifting your energy — even if you're a busy mum or feel like you have no time The power of the 17-second mindset shift and how it rewires your reality A reminder that healing doesn’t need to be perfect — it just needs to be intentional Dani's “Magic Morning” method that takes just five minutes but can change your entire day Inspiration to listen to your body before it forces you to stop This episode is both an awakening and a permission slip — to believe in your body’s power, to trust your intuition, and to rise from whatever is keeping you stuck. Whether you’re at the beginning of your healing journey or simply need a reminder that you are not broken — this conversation will land deep and lovingly in your heart. You are your own healer. You are your own miracle.

In this raw and reflective episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I’m bringing you an open-hearted conversation recorded straight from my car before a dance rehearsal. After a week of chaos brought on by ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, I share my personal journey through uncertainty, emotional exhaustion, and the deep lessons I’ve uncovered along the way.

In this heartfelt episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I dive deep into the universal experience of fear, how it holds us back and how we can choose to move through it. I share personal stories, including my transformative Four Seasons journey with the School of Shamanic Womancraft and the fears I faced stepping onto the stage for the first time and performing in an upcoming dance show. This episode is all about recognising your fears, understanding their root, and taking action despite them. Fear will always be there, but so is your inner strength. I challenge you to identify what you're fearing right now and discover what steps you can take to move beyond it.   Inside the episode, you’ll learn: How fear shows up and why it’s often a sign you’re on the right path Practical ways to move through fear (yes, even when it feels overwhelming!) Why action is the ultimate fear-buster How embracing discomfort leads to growth you never imagined   Key Takeaways: Fear is universal, but it doesn't have to be a roadblock  Feeling fear is often a sign that you care deeply Taking action, even small steps, helps ease fear’s grip Facing fear creates opportunities for growth and transformation You are stronger than you think, trust that strength So, what fear is holding you back?

Whether it's waiting for the right time, the perfect resources, or a sign from the universe, this mindset is keeping you stuck.
