Curious B

In this episode of Curious B, I speak with Cassandra Faye Floyd after discovering her through her 35-hour reading of The Great Cosmic Mother.This conversation explores science vs spirituality, feminine power, patriarchy, and the deeper systems shaping human experience.The Great Cosmic Mother presents an alternative view of human evolution, tracing ideas from the “mother cell” through to modern society and what is often referred to as the “matrix” or patriarchal system.I had heard these concepts before, but this book helped me understand them in a more connected and embodied way.In this episode we explore:• Feminine energy and rites of passage• Spiritual awakening and personal sovereignty• Science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom• How modern systems impact human consciousness• Reclaiming intuition, rest, and inner knowingThis is a deep, thought-provoking conversation about remembering who we are beneath conditioning and noise. If you are interested in spirituality, conscious living, feminine wisdom, or questioning the systems we live in, this episode is for you.Follow me on Insta: / belindaduffy_ Connect with Cassandra:Cassandra Faye Floyd is a medical doctor whose work explores the intersection of science, spirituality, and cultural systems.

Me and wearing anything wool… it used to be a complete allergic reaction nightmare - Itchy ears, runny nose, the works. Not pretty!A few episodes back on Curious B, I shared with Laurie how this happened during my Reiki Masters training — we were laying wool blankets over each other, and there I was trying to give and receive Reiki with a streaming nose. Not exactly ideal!In our last conversation, Laurie said: “My guides are telling me what that is” — and then left me hanging.I had no idea that the answer would connect all the way back to my traumatic birth. When Laurie later sent me her Energetic Allergy healing meditation, it rewrote my birth story in ways I could never have imagined. The healing was so huge, so life-changing, that for the first time I could wear my grandmother’s hand-knitted wool jacket, something I never thought possible.This is a very special, deeply personal episode. A story of birth trauma healing, spiritual guidance and energy medicine. I can’t wait for you to hear it.Enjoy :)Follow me on Insta:https://www.instagram.com/belindaduffy_/Connect with Laurie Cole:https://www.lovelearnlaughwithlaurie.comhttps://www.instagram.com/lovelearnlaugh.withlaurie/

This is the conversation after the red stop button — the part that was too important not to share.In this raw and illuminating Part 2, Matt Castle returns to unpack what we didn’t get to in Part 1 — namely, the trauma that's been drip-fed through systems, media, and relationships, and how it’s scrambling our nervous systems like the antennae of a crayfish sensing danger.We dive into:What trauma really is and how it embeds in the nervous systemThe crayfish analogy — and how our antennas (nervous systems) are constantly scanning for threatEmotional restoration, separation, and what’s happening to polarity between men and womenThe role of media, early childhood, and even Disney in unconscious trauma programmingWhy many women are describing what they want in a man... but it actually sounds like a womanHow men are becoming more feminine, and women more masculine — and what that does to attractionAnd the question: Is it actually your partner causing the trauma? Or is it something much bigger?We’re in the trenches. And yet, as Matt so beautifully puts it — we need each other, we need to talk, and we need to stop firing at our own.This is real, messy, and deeply human.Let’s talk about it.👇Find Matt & links mentioned in the episode below.Listen to Part 1 here:https://open.spotify.com/episode/1L8RuETHn2tc6P69donJVD?si=3684f4faddcf4a6aFollow me on Insta:https://www.instagram.com/belindaduffy_/Connect with Matt Castle: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/matt.castle.397 Insta:https://www.instagram.com/matt.castle.397 Matt's Websitehttps://myselfsabotagecoaching.com

You can’t live to your fullest potential when you're not following your soul and you're not in the right place you're meant to be” Belinda DuffyA bit of a personal reflection on my transformation.Oh what a journey from so burned out to being in the simply magical place overlooking the ocean.There is just no way I would be here if I hadn’t of followed my soul, every day – ‘just guide me, just guide me’. To have had my son the night before he left for Auzzie reflect back the impact this shift has had on him literally brought me to tears. It’s so important, especially us midlife mums to connect with our passions and create a life and a busness that puts us first.“What lights you up?” Let’s  find your purpose and build a soul aligned business that reflects your values and desires for freedom.Follow me on Insta:https://www.instagram.com/belindaduffy_/

Ok... This has been on my mind for a while...That every time you Ask Chat GPT something ( a prompt ) it uses 500ml (half a litre of water)...Just for a barbie in a box... This really shocked me. Honestly I have to admit that I have just started using AI myself and being quite frustrated with the written word being able to use it especially to help with captions - Game-changer...So you know this led to that then I found out about another interesting thing around spiritual blockages caused by over-use of this artificial intelligence, ..This episode is raw and if you are a curious and conscious soul like me.And a bit about disconnection from nature, from creativity, from one another and what this "convenience" Is costing us..Enjoy!

When I was six, I spent all my money and felt sick when my mum pointed it out. That moment didn’t just fade—it left a scar in my nervous system. A somatic imprint that said: money isn’t safe. You’re not safe.In this episode, I explore how your body keeps score of every money moment—especially the early ones. How your nervous system learns to tighten, protect, panic, or freeze when it comes to spending, receiving, or holding wealth.We talk about the inner protector and expander that live in all of us… and what it takes to step into the grounded, sovereign energy of the Empress—a woman who leads from regulation, trust, and embodied abundance.This isn’t just about mindset. This is about healing the scars your body still carries—so you can finally feel safe to grow, expand, and receive.Huge thanks to Kate Northrup for her 3 day Good with Money workshop - jump on it!!! https://katenorthrup.com/good/

Oh my 13 yrs trying to make this property work...Here's my story of what happened for me on this land, and why I am pretty certain that places and spaces hold energy good and bad.

Yep every story has a beginning... So this one happened in a little hall and a 'waste talk' with my son and I having our eyes opened to the lifecycle of our 'stuff'. Yep everything you buy needs to go somewhere at the end of it's life, and there is no 'away'. Oh my... How this one talk changed the trajectory of my life - forever.
