Exit The Matrix - Stories of Success

Wow Week 26 of interviewing thought leaders from around the world on what makes a life of abundance true to your hearts desire - officially I am at a half a year of research.... and it just keeps getting better. Are you ready to transform your money mindset? Meet Phoebe Blamey, a bestselling author, financial expert, and podcast host who helps women ditch shame and build unapologetically rich lives!

What If Your Intuition Isn’t Woo-Woo — But a Capacity You’ve Been Trained to Ignore? This week on Exit The Matrix, Jane sat down with Elina Celik — homeopath, educator, and facilitator of mind vision training — to explore a question that challenges everything we’ve been taught about perception, learning, and human potential. Elina works with children to help them access what she describes as subconscious vision — a way of receiving information beyond the usual five-sense, analytical mind. And while that might sound out there at first, the deeper conversation goes somewhere far more practical: what happens when we stop living entirely in the left brain?

What If Stress Isn’t the Problem — But the Pattern You’ve Normalised? This week on Exit The Matrix, Jane sat down with Julie Hutchinson — heart coherence expert, trauma-informed practitioner, and a leader in helping high-performers regulate their nervous system and reclaim internal peace. Julie brings a truth most people don’t want to face: stress isn’t just part of success — it’s the silent driver behind it. We unpack why 80% of doctor visits are linked to stress, how high-functioning leaders unknowingly run on survival mode, and why anxiety, burnout, and even chronic illness often trace back to one thing — a dysregulated nervous system.

What If Coherence, Not Hustle, Is the Real Path to Abundance? This week on Exit The Matrix, Jane sat down with Arnaud Saint-Paul — heart-led leadership guide, founder of the Heartful Method, and a pioneer in helping leaders and organisations unlock greater impact through coherence.

Are Trauma, Cult Dynamics & AI the Real Tipping Point? This week on Exit The Matrix, Jane sat down with Dr Lisa Turner — engineer-turned-consciousness researcher, creator of Conscious Emotional Transformation (CET), and author of Our Conscious Tipping Point. Lisa shares the truth most people miss: trafficking doesn’t usually look like a van and a basement — it starts with grooming, coercion, and control. We unpack the eerie parallels between cults, “guru culture”, and abusive dynamics, and why people don’t “just leave” when coercive control has a grip on the mind.

Are Emotions & Worthiness Holding You Back? This week on Exit the Matrix, I had a powerful conversation with Jaymin J. Patel, a worldwide top motivational speaker recognized by CEO Magazine and USA Today.

Is Your Ship Off Course—and Will You Notice Before It’s Too Late? What if the life you're living isn't the one your soul agreed to? What if the roles you’re playing, the job you’re in, the “success” you’re chasing—are part of a contract you didn’t consciously sign? This week I was prompted by a previous conversation to create a Soul Contract course... and then I realised I actually had an expert in my midst I could ask all about it - and even get a tick of approval for my beginners guide to soul contracts.

What do you do when your job literally makes you cry? For Joe Che, the answer came while chopping onions at 4AM in a job that broke his spirit—and his immune system. That tear-stained morning sparked a transformation. In this discussion from the I am Creation retreat in Bali, Joe shares how he went from soul-crushing jobs to launching 12 successful businesses across tech, education, VR, hospitality, and real estate. But his real mission? Helping people rediscover the joy of true connection.

Meet Robert Fritz: The Artist, Author & Structural Wizard Who Will Change How You Create Your Life Robert Fritz doesn’t just talk about creativity — he decoded it. Composer, filmmaker, bestselling author of The Path of Least Resistance, and the genius behind structural dynamics, Robert’s work has impacted creators, CEOs, and visionaries around the globe. In this deeply insightful episode of Exit The Matrix, I sat down with Robert to explore what most people completely misunderstand about change, success, and the real reason why we sabotage ourselves — even when we know what we want.

What happens when you go from building a global personal development empire… to creating soul-stirring art that speaks the language of transformation? In this powerful episode of Exit the Matrix with Me, I sit down with the radiant and wise Becky Robbins: Visionary Artist, former Executive of Robbins Research International, and Intuitive Guide. Becky shares her extraordinary journey through the fire (literally—yes, firewalks!), the boardroom, and into the deep soulful space of artistic expression.

When the soul whispers, even a Hollywood powerhouse listens. Here’s what happened next What happens when you remember your life purpose at 5… then bury it under decades of “success”? In this deeply moving episode, Susanne Goldstein shares her journey from child visionary to Hollywood producer — and how chasing accolades eventually led her to a breaking point. 🎬 She built a life most people would envy. But beneath the red carpets and resumes, something sacred was calling her home.

“If the Universe Had a Surveillance Camera… What Would It See You Being?” Would it see a bold creator… or someone waiting for permission? In this electrifying episode of Exit the Matrix: The Book Writing Experiment, Jane sits down with subconscious transformation expert Narley K to expose the hidden beliefs shaping our reality, and how to reclaim your power, identity, and abundance starting now.

What if the secret to mastering life isn’t in doing more—but in choosing differently? In this raw, soul-stirring interview, Hussein Hallak, entrepreneur, author of The Dark Art of Mastery, and startup mentor reveals how he rose from poverty in Syria to building 22 companies, leading top incubators in Canada, and finding true joy in a world obsessed with hustle.

Still Chasing Success… or Ready to Become Who You Truly Are? In this soul-expanding conversation, Emotional Fitness pioneer Joe Pane reveals the hidden architecture of identity, and how our unspoken relationship with uncertainty either liberates or limits us.

What if your biggest block to abundance isn’t fear… but the monkey whispering in your mind before you even get out of bed? In this unforgettable episode, Michael Bennett, flute-playing magician, mind ninja, and literal illustrated man—guides us through the messy middle of transformation. This is where most people give up… but it’s also where the magic begins. Michael reveals the 7 monkeys of the mind: 🐵 Fear 🐵 Anger 🐵 Grief 🐵 Critic 🐵 Jealousy 🐵 Victim ✨ And the one monkey that saves them all? Gratitude.

This week in the Exit The Matrix With Me experiment, I had a soul-shifting conversation with my dear friend, transformation guide and modern-day sage, Jem Fuller to explore one of the most pivotal (yet often avoided) stages of personal transformation.

Ever wondered how a systems thinker turned crypto entrepreneur became the inspiration behind a custom AI changing lives worldwide? I had heard about people using The Rossco Custom GPT for dealing with life's decisions and so in my queszt to see what holds people back from living an abundant life I thought - why not go to the source?

As part of the Exit The Matrix With Me book writing experiment, I dive into a powerful conversation with the minds behind MeWatch — a platform that cracked the code on organic virality through psychological design, not guesswork. This is not your average marketing playbook. It’s a real-world case study on how attention, behaviour, and storytelling are evolving in real time. This episode isn’t just content — it’s research. Data. Evidence for a new way of thinking about how we earn attention, express purpose, and unlearn the performative game of digital success.

It’s raw research in real-time, a data point in a bold, live experiment for my next book exploring how we break free from old paradigms of success, money, and identity.

🌟 In this powerful episode of Exit the Matrix With Me, Jane Slack-Smith sits down with her personal mentor of 4+ years—visionary author and transformation coach William Whitecloud—to explore the incredible story of how he went from the brink of death to living his purpose, creating a life of creativity, consciousness, and abundance. ⚡️ This isn't just an interview—it's a deep dive into the real-time research for Jane’s groundbreaking book, The Heart Is The Key, a transformational journey uncovering how to live from your heart and experience true abundance.

What if walking away from everything society tells you to chase actually led you to MORE wealth, MORE freedom, and MORE happiness? As part of my Exit The Matrix Experiment, I’m finding out more and more what triggered the awareness in people so they could have that pause that moment of reflection that changes everything. This week my incredible guest who I am diving deep into her transition from corporate to something more is Alena Uzhnyeva, a woman who had it all: an incredible high paying career, power, and prestige. But inside? She was trapped in what she calls a "golden jail." 💥 So she did the unthinkable. She walked away. 💥 And guess what? Instead of losing it all… she rebuilt an even bigger empire—on her own terms.

It’s not just another conversation. This is a living, breathing experiment in transformation. Right now, I’m in the middle of writing a book — but not the traditional way.

Through raw, vulnerable, paradigm-shifting conversations with guests who are walking the path of true consciousness. Each episode becomes a chapter. Each insight becomes a tool. Each breakthrough becomes something we all get to explore — together. This project isn’t about selling an idea later. It’s about living it now.

I’m Not Just Writing a Book — I’m Building a Living Experiment I’ve written a bestselling book before. I’ve helped thousands create wealth through property. I’ve coached people through business, marketing, money blocks, and more. What I truly want for humanity is for theme to claim their heart's desires and live an abundant life full of unlimited possibilities for a truly wealthy life.... but where do you start, how can you do that? This is what this book is all about. But this? This is something entirely different. This time, I’m inviting you to join me as I research and interview guests, build tools and courses from their insights and truly give participants a tranformational experience - which is what every author really wants. The difference is I invite you do join me and not have to wait a year for the book to be written and published. I am writing a book in real-time. No safety net. No perfect plan. Just a bold experiment in creation — guided by heart, fuelled by curiosity, and shared with you as it unfolds.

Welcome to today's episode of "Exit the Matrix: Stories of Success," where we delve into extraordinary journeys of transformation and resilience. Our guest today is Debbie Thompson, a dynamic and compassionate educator, counsellor, and mother whose life story is a testament to the power of following one's true calling. Born in South Africa, Debbie moved to the UK, where she completed her education, met her husband, and embarked on a successful career as a Chartered Accountant. Despite excelling in this field, Debbie felt unfulfilled and yearned for a path that resonated more deeply with her passions. The arrival of her three beautiful children marked a transformative turn in Debbie's journey. Choosing to be a full-time mother, she later transitioned into teaching, dedicating six impactful years to a challenging school in a low socio-economic area. Here, she made a significant difference in the lives of her students while simultaneously building a thriving business selling STEM toys online, showcasing her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit. In 2020, Debbie faced another life-changing moment when her eldest daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. This diagnosis, coupled with her son's similar struggles, opened her eyes to the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD. Motivated by these experiences, Debbie qualified as a counsellor in 2023, dedicating herself to helping others navigate the complexities of ADHD. Debbie founded ADD-Vantage, a platform designed to educate and support individuals with ADHD and their families. Her mission is to debunk myths about ADHD, highlight the unique strengths of those with the condition, and provide practical strategies for thriving. Through one-on-one counselling and coaching, Debbie empowers others to understand and embrace their true selves. Join us as Debbie Thompson shares her remarkable journey of resilience, creativity, and unwavering dedication to making a difference in the lives of those with ADHD. Her story is a testament to the power of following one’s true purpose and making a lasting impact on the world. www.exitthematrix.io/s/debbiethompson
