The Brain Changers™

In this episode, we're addressing a question a lot of people don't say out loud… If I'm doing all the right things, why hasn't anything really changed? You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, tried the strategies, but you still find yourself back in the same patterns. This episode explains why that keeps happening. We break down the difference between surface-level tools and what actually drives behaviour underneath. Because most tools give you something to do, but they don't change the way you think. And if that part doesn't shift, the pattern doesn't either. So you end up managing the same thoughts, the same reactions, and the same habits, just in slightly different ways. If you've ever felt like you're trying everything and still not getting anywhere, this will help you see what's missing. And once you understand that, you can stop searching for the next tool… and start working at the level where real change actually happens. Topics discussed: Why surface-level tools don't create lasting change The difference between knowing something and actually changing it How the brain mistakes learning for doing Why patterns keep repeating (even when you're "doing the work") Real-life examples: overthinking, anxiety, and boundaries How underlying beliefs drive behaviour Why pressure and uncertainty expose your default patterns The question that shifts you from surface-level fixes to real change Links and resources Join the Mind Masters Collective https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/mind-masters Book a Connection Call with Rebekah to find out how coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam What's in Your Suitcase?

In this episode of The Brain Changers, we're talking about uncertainty - what it is, why it affects people so differently, and what's actually going on in your mind when everything feels unstable. With constant news about the economy, jobs, and global events, it's easy to assume your reaction is coming from what's happening around you. But that doesn't explain why one person moves forward clearly, while another spirals. We break down what your brain is doing when it doesn't have clear answers, why it fills the gaps with worst-case scenarios, and how that creates the "what if" loop so many people get stuck in. More importantly, we look at what these reactions reveal, because uncertainty doesn't create the response, it exposes patterns that are already there. If things have felt unsettled lately, even if you're not directly affected by world events, this episode will help you see why. And once you understand that, you can stop trying to control everything around you and start focusing on what actually moves you forward. Topics discussed: Why uncertainty feels so intense right now What your brain does when it can't predict what's next Why two people can respond completely differently to the same situation How worst-case thinking and "what if" loops are formed The patterns uncertainty exposes in your thinking and behaviour Why surface-level strategies don't last How to shift your focus back to what's in your control Links and resources We're giving you free access to our Reset + Recharge mini course.

What if the clearest thinking on confidence, leadership, and resilience you heard all year came from a 12-year-old? I first came across Elliott Lea at the Victor Harbour TEDx event, where at just 11 years old he had a room full of adults hanging on every word. His talk wasn't about becoming a leader someday, it was about the small, everyday choices that build leadership right now. When I heard him speak, I thought, "This is exactly what I coach adults on every single day!" In this episode, I sit down with Elliot (now 12 and one of the youngest TEDx speakers in the world) for a conversation that is just as relevant to adults as it is to kids. Whether you're a parent, a leader, or someone who has ever talked themselves out of doing something hard, this episode is for you. What You'll Hear in This Episode •    Why real-world wins feel better than digital ones, and why that matters for how we build confidence •    The story of how a 9-year-old Elliot was asked to book a restaurant table, and what that moment taught him about capability •    The difference between levelling up in a game versus levelling up in real life •    What good guidance actually looks like, and why doing everything for your child (or your team) works against them •    The house rule Elliot lives by: "create before you consume" •    Why most of the time, it's our mindset holding us back, not our ability •    Elliot's challenge for adults Standout Quote "Parents, if you do everything, you're playing for us, and we never learn to win on our own." — Elliott Lea About the Guest Elliott Lea is one of the youngest people in the world to give a TEDx talk. At just 11 years old, Elliott took to the stage at the Victor Harbour TEDx event to share his message about leadership, confidence, and what it really means to level up in real life. He speaks with a clarity and wisdom well beyond his years, and has a passion for helping others discover what they're truly capable of.

You're good at your job. You make decisions all day long. And yet somewhere in the middle of a meeting - or on the drive home, replaying a conversation that finished hours ago - there's that question running underneath everything... Am I actually getting this right? This episode is about where that question comes from. And why working harder on your confidence hasn't made it go away. In this episode: — Why the problem was never the decision — What's actually running underneath the second-guessing — Why thinking harder confirms the pattern rather than breaking it — Claire's story — and the moment that changed everything for her — The gap that makes a different choice possible Links and resources Here's 3 ways we can work together:  1. 1:1 Coaching – Deep, personalised work to shift the beliefs, patterns and pressures that hold you back, so you can lead with clarity and confidence. https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/one-on-one-coaching 2.

Most of us have a label for what's going on with us. "I'm a perfectionist." "My anxiety." "I've always been a bit like this." And those descriptions feel accurate.  But at some point — for most of us without even noticing — the thing we were experiencing became the thing we decided we were. And once something becomes who you are, you stop asking whether it has to be true. In this solo episode, Rebekah explores what it actually costs to carry a label you've never examined. Not just the obvious cost, but the one that accumulates over years. The ceiling it puts on who you think you can be, and what you believe is possible for you. This is an honest conversation. And for a lot of women, it's one they've never had. In this episode: — Why identity labels feel permanent, and why that's not the same as being true — What it actually costs to manage something instead of resolving it — Why the women who have "done the work" are often still living inside the same story — How NLP works at the level where these labels actually live — Why change happens faster than most people expect, when you're working at the right level Timestamps 0:00 The labels we carry 2:00 When a description becomes an identity 6:00 What it actually costs 10:00 The woman who had been "anxious" for fifteen years 14:00 Why it feels permanent, and why it doesn't have to be 17:00 Free live masterclass Free live masterclass: You Know Better.

Life isn't "busy." It's full. Full of work. Full of kids (or clients, or deadlines, or dogs). Full of laundry, inboxes, expectations… and sometimes, full of noise in your own head. In this episode of The Brain Changers, Rebekah sits down with serial entrepreneur, business strategist and health-brand expert Hayley Osborne to explore what it actually takes to stay well when your life is overflowing. This isn't a "wake up at 4am and meditate for 90 minutes" conversation. It's real life. Messy kitchens. Late-night sauce bottling. Three small boys wrestling in the lounge room. And a woman who has learned how to read the signs in her body before burnout takes hold. In this episode, we explore: [09:45] Why consistency beats intensity every time [17:15] How to stop carrying everything in your head (and free up mental space instantly) [27:30] The power of "one small thing" instead of overhauling your entire life [33:50] Why sleep, water and movement are non-negotiables [38:10] What "enough" looks like in a normal, imperfect day [53:20] Why you can have it all… just not all at the same time [45:55] How to reframe housework, exercise and even discipline in a way that protects your nervous system [46:00] The importance of suppor, and why doing everything alone is not a badge of honour [58:05] How stepping away (including a January social media detox) created clarity about what actually matters right now Hayley shares how she structures her week, why she took a social media detox in January, and how stepping away created clarity about what actually matters right now. If you've ever felt like: ✅ You should be doing more ✅ You're one small step away from snapping ✅ You're juggling too much in your head ✅ Or you secretly wonder how other women seem to "do it all" … this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

Have you ever noticed how you can see yourself overthinking — replaying conversations, analysing decisions, giving yourself more time — and yet nothing actually changes? You know what you're doing… but you still can't seem to stop. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, we explore why overthinking doesn't end with awareness alone, how fear disguises itself as logic, and why behaviour — not insight — is what finally interrupts the loop. This is a grounded, honest conversation about the quiet cost of staying in your head, and the moment where thinking stops being helpful and starts delaying the life you want to live. You'll learn: ✅ Why awareness doesn't automatically stop overthinking ✅ How fear often shows up as "being sensible" or "waiting for clarity" ✅ Why overthinking keeps you busy instead of decisive ✅ How small delays quietly cost time, confidence, and momentum ✅ The shift from analysing to choosing, and why that moment matters ✅ What actually changes an overthinking pattern long-term If you started the year with good intentions but already feel yourself drifting, this episode will help you recognise what's really going on, and what to do next.

By December, many people aren't just tired, they're running on empty. If you're limping toward the end of the year, counting down days until you can fall in a heap, this episode is for you. In this final episode of 2025, we look at what's really going on in your brain and nervous system when rest doesn't seem to "work," why most people start January already depleted, and how a simple pause - done well - can change the entire trajectory of the year ahead. This isn't about pushing harder, setting vague resolutions, or reinventing your life overnight. It's about closing the year in a way your brain actually understands. What you'll learn ✅ Why feeling exhausted in December isn't a motivation problem, it's a nervous system pattern ✅ What happens in the brain when stress chemistry runs for too long ✅ Why most New Year's resolutions fail (and what your brain needs instead) ✅ The real role of reflection in creating clarity and calm ✅ How to reflect, release, and reignite, without pressure ✅ Why choosing one word for the year works neurologically ✅ How to stop carrying this year's patterns into the next one Timestamps 00:00 – Teaser: "Dragging yourself to the finish line" 02:15 – Why this time of year feels so heavy 06:40 – Nervous system overload and survival mode 11:20 – Why time off doesn't always reset your brain 15:10 – Why most resolutions don't stick 19:30 – Reflection vs rushing into the new year 24:10 – Reflect, release, reignite 29:00 – Why your brain needs closure 33:10 – Choosing a word for the year (and how it works) 38:20 – The Reflection Guide + New Year Clarity Session 43:00 – Episode recap and what's coming next Links and resources Download your 2026 Reflection guidehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1T-kfczUFCbIxYrlTv2qo542avd1Oe0qV/view?usp=sharing Book a Connection Call with Rebekah to find out how coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us https://moonbeammonday.com.au https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Check out these FREE resources https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources Join us every fortnight Tune in every fortnight as we delve into fascinating topics about the mind and the brain, because when you change your mind, you change your life.  Subscribe and leave a review If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode and leave a review to help others find and enjoy our content.

Ever felt like your emotions hijacked you? One minute you're calm, the next you've snapped at someone, avoided the hard conversation, or completely lost focus. Most people think emotional freedom is luck… that some days you have it, some days you don't. But emotional freedom isn't random. It's a skill you can learn. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne unpack what "state management" really means, how your nervous system drives it, and why mastering your state is the difference between reacting on autopilot and choosing how you show up. What you'll learn: ✅ What your "state" actually is, and why it shapes every behaviour you have ✅ The neuroscience of stress: amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, vagus nerve ✅ Why emotional mastery is really nervous system mastery ✅ How anchors work (and why you already have them, whether by accident or design) ✅ Four quick resets you can use anywhere to shift your state instantly ✅ Why daily calibration is like updating your brain's software Whether you're leading a team, asking for a pay rise, or just trying not to snap at your kids after a long day, this episode shows you how to master your state on purpose and build emotional freedom that lasts.

What can a horse teach you about mindfulness, intuition, and letting go of control? In this episode, I sit down with Mel McLaren, founder of Walk Sublime: Walking with Horses in Nature™, to explore how mindfulness, healing, and connection come alive in the simplest of moments… a walk through the forest, the sound of hoofbeats beside you, and the quiet synchrony of two heartbeats moving as one. Mel shares her deeply personal story of loss, resilience, and rediscovering purpose through her horses… each one rescued, rehomed, and healing in their own way. Together, they now help others reconnect with presence, boundaries, intuition, and trust; lessons that ripple far beyond the paddock. You'll hear about: •    How Mel turned heartbreak and loss into a life of purpose and healing •    The mindfulness lessons that emerge when we walk beside (not ahead of) another being •    What horses can teach us about intuition, energy, and emotional regulation •    Why control is an illusion, and how surrendering can transform both horse and human •    The surprising parallels between walking with horses and leading with clarity in life and work This is a conversation about connection - with nature, with ourselves, and with something greater. Timestamps 02:04 – How Mel's dream of walking with horses began 05:00 – The turning point: loss, grief, and starting over 06:50 – Healing through nature and connection with horses 14:06 – Rehomed horses and their powerful backstories 18:02 – Saxon's story: the foal who found a forever home 20:11 – The horses' intuition and the human connection 25:20 – How horses mirror our energy, emotions, and beliefs 33:00 – Introducing Sublime Intervention: a vision 36:00 – What we can learn about mindfulness, boundaries, and presence 46:00 – The Sublime Way — a gentle, mindful approach to leadership and influence 50:57 – Letting go of control (for all the "recovering control freaks") 52:28 – Growth, discomfort, and what nature teaches us about trust 53:05 – How to experience Walk Sublime for yourself Guest Bio – Mel McLaren Founder of Walk Sublime; Walking with Horses in Nature™ in the Adelaide Hills, Mel guides transformative, heart-led walking experiences that bring humans and horses together in nature.

Most people think hypnosis means losing control - or clucking like a chicken on stage. But hypnosis is actually one of the most natural states your brain already cycles through every day. And when you learn to use that state intentionally, it becomes a powerful tool for rewiring the unconscious patterns that keep you stuck. In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne clear up the myths, explain what's really happening in your brain during hypnosis, and show why it works when sheer willpower doesn't. You'll learn: ✅ Why hypnosis is a natural trance state your brain already enters daily ✅ What's happening in your brainwaves during hypnosis (and why it matters) ✅ Why "I can't be hypnotised" is almost always a myth ✅ How secondary gain keeps people unconsciously holding onto problems ✅ The difference between direct suggestion hypnosis and Ericksonian hypnosis ✅ Real examples of how hypnosis helps with stress, confidence, habits, and pain Whether you've doubted hypnosis, tried to "willpower" your way through change, or just want to make your brain your greatest ally, this episode will change the way you think about transformation. Timestamps 00:00 – Teaser: Hypnosis beyond the stage-show myths 01:05 – What hypnosis actually is (and isn't) 05:20 – "I can't be hypnotised" – myth busted 09:15 – Chronic pain, disbelief, and the real question: why refuse? 14:00 – Secondary gain and the hidden benefits of staying stuck 18:00 – Why willpower alone rarely works 20:30 – The neuroscience of Alpha + Theta brainwaves 23:15 – Hypnosis in real life: stress, confidence, habits, inner critic 27:40 – Direct suggestion vs. Ericksonian hypnosis 32:00 – Recap and closing thoughts Links and resources Book a Connection Call with Rebekah Find out how private coaching can help you https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us https://moonbeammonday.com.au https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Check out these FREE resources https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources Join us every fortnight Tune in every fortnight as we delve into fascinating topics about the mind and the brain, because when you change your mind, you change your life.

We've all had those days where we walk into a room and instantly feel the heaviness, even before anyone speaks. Or where we leave a conversation feeling inexplicably flat or anxious. So what's really happening when you feel other people's energy — and how do you stop it from draining you? In this heartfelt and practical conversation, Rebekah sits down with Irene McGrath, energy wellness specialist, Reiki master, and founder of Free Your Spirit, to explore how unseen energy affects our mood, health, and sense of balance — and what we can do to protect and restore it. Irene has a rare gift for making the mystical feel grounded and accessible. She explains what Reiki actually is (in plain English), how energy gets "stuck," and why protecting your own energy doesn't make you cold or uncaring... it actually helps you bring more compassion, calm, and clarity to the people around you. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What energy really means in practical, everyday terms ✅ How to tell when your energy is being drained — and by whom (or what) ✅ A simple *morning protection ritual* to keep your energy strong all day ✅ The truth about being an *empath* versus simply being energy-aware ✅ How visualisation and colour can rewire your mood and mindset in minutes ✅ Why clearing stuck emotional energy is key to both mental and physical wellbeing ✅ What to expect in an energy-healing session — and why it's not as "woo-woo" as you might think About our guest Irene McGrath is an award-winning energy wellness specialist and Reiki Master Teacher based in South Australia.

Some conversations leave you feeling lighter, clearer, and stronger. Others feel like you're lugging around a backpack of bricks. What's the difference? In this episode of The Brain Changers™ Podcast, Rebekah and Yvonne unpack the hidden cost of retelling your problems, why well-meaning advice often keeps you stuck, and how to choose support that strengthens you instead of suffocating you. You'll learn: ✅ Why your brain doesn't distinguish between experiencing pain and retelling it ✅ How venting circles wire your brain for more of the same problems ✅ The difference between friends, accountability partners, and coaching - and when to choose each ✅ Why advice often reflects someone else's values, not what's best for you ✅ How coaching recalibrates your "mental operating system" for real transformation Whether you're caught in old stories or ready to move from good to great, this episode will help you see support in a whole new light.

We've all been told that sleep is important. But if you've ever crawled into bed exhausted, only to lie awake with your mind racing, you'll know it's not that simple. In this episode, we're talking about the science and soul of sleep, and why "tired but wired" has become the modern default. I'm joined by holistic sleep scientist Dr. Sabine Christelli, who blends neuroscience, breathwork, and ancient wisdom to help people finally rest deeply and wake up restored. We explore why so many smart, capable women struggle to switch off at night, the surprising habits that might be sabotaging your rest, and how small, practical changes can reset more than just your sleep cycle. This isn't about chasing perfection or adding another task to your to-do list. It's about reclaiming the kind of rest that makes everything in life feel lighter. What you'll hear: ✅ Why exhaustion has become normalised, and why it shouldn't be ✅ The hidden connection between stress, overthinking, and poor sleep ✅ Micro-habits that can transform your nights (without overhauling your life) ✅ How to reframe sleep as a powerful tool for clarity, resilience, and joy ✅ A refreshing take on the "9 Pillars of Sleep" and which one to start with today Whether you're waking up foggy, struggling to switch off, or just curious about how to feel more human again, this episode will give you practical, science-backed ways to rest well and live well.

Now today I'm joined by someone who brings together science spirit and a whole lot of wisdom. 00:00:23 Rebekah When it comes to sleep and well being Doctor Sabine Cristelli began her career as a molecular immunologist in Germany, researching so-called junk DNA. I'm gonna probably ask you more about that. 00:00:37 Rebekah But her curiosity and compassion didn't stop there. Over the years, she's woven together science, sleep, medicine. 00:00:46 Rebekah Breath work, yoga, NLP, hypnosis and probably more into a truly holistic approach to health. 00:00:54 Rebekah She now calls herself a holistic sleep scientist, and for good reason. Her PhD research explores sleep at the deepest level, and she combines that with practical tools that help people move from burnout and brain fog into clarity, energy and ease. Now, Sabine. 00:01:14 Rebekah The leaves sleep isn't just about closing your eyes. 00:01:18 Rebekah It's a bridge between science and spirit, and when we cross it well, everything else in life becomes lighter, which just sounds wonderful. Savannah's worked with everyone from high performing athletes to busy professionals and her nine pillars of sleep are helping people all over the world reclaim their rest. 00:01:38 Rebekah Their resilience and their joy. Sabine, I'm so delighted to have you with us here today. Thank you so much for joining. 00:01:45 Sabine Me. Thank you for having me and allowing me to talk about my passion. I really appreciate it a lot. 00:01:51 Rebekah You're welcome. I'm excited about this as I was just saying to you before we. 00:01:56 Rebekah Started I wanted to kind of let people know why it was that I felt it was so important that we have you on the Brain Changes podcast. You've had so many incredible experiences. You've got so much behind you just having a read on your website. But one of the reasons I really wanted to invite you here today was because a lot of the. 00:02:16 Rebekah People that I work with, sleep is something that comes up right at the beginning of our our coaching. I coach, you know, mums, dads, professionals, people in corporate people with their own businesses, all sorts of people and. 00:02:34 Rebekah A lot of them are world class themselves to begin with, as over thinkers, they're struggling with anxiety. They really struggle to shut their minds down at night and get restful sleep. You know, even myself. I know when I've got lots going on and I'm perhaps feeling a little bit stressed. My sleep is disrupted. And so I thought well. 00:02:55 Rebekah Let's get you on here and have a chat about what is actually going on, and perhaps some of the tools that you can share with us today on how to improve our sleep and the difference it's going to make. 00:03:07 Sabine I would love to do all that and I. 00:03:09 Sabine Really appreciate, I just need to say. 00:03:11 Sabine From the start that. 00:03:13 Sabine Yes, I have researched a lot and studied a lot, but I never actually got to be a doctor so to speak, table, right. And what happened is that before I decided to continue with the research, I actually decided I want to work and give my services to human beings rather than be in the corridors at university. 00:03:19 Sabine That's just. 00:03:20 Rebekah Uh-huh. 00:03:33 Sabine Keeping on studying and spending all my life, it's very draining after a while and because I love helping people and I got out there, it my heart is in it. That's the whole reason I got my degrees. The whole reason I studied anything. 00:03:46 Sabine Why are humans suffering? How can we help? What can we, you know, teach each other so that we can thrive and really enjoy life? So I actually decided not to complete that and instead take the knowledge just before the ending of it and bring it out into the world rather than hide it at university. So just thought I would mention that small. 00:04:05 Yet. 00:04:05 Rebekah Thank you for the clarification. 00:04:07 Rebekah And I I love that it's. 00:04:09 Rebekah I remember actually going through to get my qualifications for coaching and what have you and there were some people in there that were. 00:04:17 Rebekah So. 00:04:19 Rebekah Fixated on the qualifications that they would get and what if somebody asks me what what my polls are and I sort of got to the point, you know. 00:04:29 Rebekah I'm proud of the qualifications that I have. 00:04:32 Rebekah But. 00:04:33 Rebekah It doesn't determine whether I can help someone or not. A lot of what I help people with in terms of coaching is the experience that I've had with, you know, in the 30 years or perhaps 25 years of work that came before that. So, yeah, I I admire you for making that decision and just putting yourself out there in the world. 00:04:53 Rebekah Help people. It's been perhaps just catch us up on how you ended up where you are now and being this holistic sleep. 00:05:01 OK. 00:05:02 Sabine Yes. OK. So it's been a long journey. I am. I've been around. 00:05:07 Sabine For a while. 00:05:08 Sabine In a sense, like I said just now, what happened is I did my my, my high school and it was what am I gonna do with my life now? What am I going to study? And really my passion was breast cancer and cancer overall. I could just see so many people had it. 00:05:23 Sabine So in a nutshell, I went and did a science degree and I wanted to understand the immunology, the biochemistry, how the organs function, and once I finished that and did my honour. 00:05:33 Sabine Degree I realised that I barely scraped the surface and there's all the other aspects like nutrition and mindset and lifestyle and relationships and of course so much more that I now can articulate. So I had to continue and study all those things in the form of you know, holistic therapy. 00:05:53 Sabine Neurolinguistic programming your passion. We're all programmed. And how we use it and how we get into it, how we self hypnotise and at one point I was giving talks on how to breathe, cause I'm a yoga teacher. Can help cooperations with productivity, how it can help you to to be more effective and function. 00:06:12 Sabine And the place where I gave that seminar on happened to be a university where they were also studying sleep. Being curious as I am, I said, wow, have you studied how breathing affects, you know, sleep? And I said, yeah, sort of. But not really. But why don't we have a chat? So Long story short. 00:06:32 Sabine I had a chat and talked to professor and it took a year to get that all sorted. Everything so slow. Sometimes when I started. Yeah that PhD and when delve super Deep did the research, went into all aspects because as a PhD student you actually have to understand the entire field. 00:06:52 Sabine And then justified that small project which was breathing and sleep, which was my my theme. So I came to be that. And of course I have been a mum and I am a mum. I know what sleep deprivation is like. I have got a father who had sleep deprivation and has Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home. I have seen how people change when they don't get enough sleep. 00:07:15 Sabine And how they ignore it thinking? 00:07:17 Sabine You know a a big, stimulating drink in the morning or a wine at night will help you to unwind and how society. Since COVID really has really speed up their lack of ability to sleep through anxiety and and and scrolling and and all those other habits. So I feel I'm in the right position to actually combine. 00:07:37 Sabine Holy. 00:07:38 Sabine Basically, everything that contributes to healthy sleep, which includes what you do, which is the NLP, the hypnosis and of the functions in the brain and nervous system. So that's why I am here. 00:07:50 Rebekah Ohh. Wonderful. Yeah, what a journey you've had and that that's exactly. And I love what you're just saying there. And I guess this goes to. 00:07:58 Rebekah You know, you talk about being a holistic sleep scientist because. 00:08:02 Rebekah It's. 00:08:03 Rebekah Being well, living well is not just about one thing. Yes, there's certain pillars. We all know that good nutrition is important. We know that moving our body is important. We know that sleep is important. We know that good mindset is important. But. 00:08:19 Rebekah You can't sort of look at three of them and go, oh, well, I'm ticking 3 out of four, so I'm OK. I mean, you might be doing. 00:08:25 Rebekah OK. 00:08:26 Rebekah But what? What is OK and what is exceptional that that waking up exhausted in the morning I think is very, very common for a lot of people. 00:08:34 Rebekah I I am very familiar with that, not so much now in my what I probably call my previous life and honestly still guilty of the stimulating dream. When you said that my ears pricked up because I feel like I'm one of those people that I get pretty good sleep my knee nutrition. 00:08:54 Rebekah It is good. 00:08:55 Rebekah I I move my body, but I need that stimulating drink in the morning. What's going on? When we feel that we need that? 00:09:02 Rebekah The thing. 00:09:03 Sabine What's going on depends on each person, but in general it means that maybe the sleep was not as deep as you thought it was, so a lot of people think that, well, I I went to sleep at 11 and I woke up at 7:00. And yeah, I'm feeling reasonably good. And then there's this lethargy, maybe after breakfast. 00:09:22 Sabine Or when you want to have more energy. So a couple of things, it could be or maybe more than that, but one is your actual sleep quality. The quantity might have been enough, but the depth of. 00:09:32 Sabine Your sleep was not as deep as it could be because you went to bed with overstimulation through perhaps that coffee or the green tea in my case, or perhaps looking at an email a little bit later than maybe was a good idea. Or your bank account, or. Or having a chat with someone who's a little bit stressful and it kind of retriggers. 00:09:53 Sabine The nervous system so that when it's excited and there's more cortisol release biologically, we don't go so deep after that. It's just how it is. So that's mainly what it is. The other thing can be of course that. 00:10:07 Sabine You are not getting the right nutrients or you have a different peak of activity. Maybe you're more productive in the afternoon. Some people are more productive in the morning. That's the different chronotype. So it could be that as well. Maybe you need morning sunlight. Some people get up and don't get that, and that really wakes you up and gets you into the day. 00:10:28 Sabine Activates your circadian so, and it could also be for some people. They do eat a really sweet and and not that you would, but you know wheat, pigs with sugar on top would really cause a slump and it's not energising. 00:10:41 Sabine So things like that can also contribute. There's so many little things, but does any of that kind of ring any bells or so? 00:10:51 Rebekah Yeah. Yeah. Well, it it's certainly for me, there's there's lots of different things that go. OK, you know, you could try that or could try changing that, you know, the morning sunshine, that type of thing. 00:11:02 Rebekah So I guess what I'm hearing here is there is no one size fits all. 00:11:05 Rebekah When it comes. 00:11:05 Rebekah To sleep. Anything, really. But even with sleep, there are certainly things that we can all try, but to get things. 00:11:17 Rebekah Just right for us, we need to tweak little things and I think that's what we talk about here at the brain changes. Not everybody is looking for a massive life transformation. You know, a lot of things are good in our life, but we're looking for those little tweaks, those little one percenters that are going to make a big difference. 00:11:37 At. 00:11:38 Rebekah You talked about that spike in. 00:11:41 Rebekah Cortisol in the evening if we've had a perhaps a conversation with a friend who's a bit stressed or we've read that email or looked at our bank account. All of those things. And I know you're a breath work facilitator and this is something I talk a lot with my talk about a lot with my clients. How can breathing even a simple breathwork exercise before bed? 00:12:03 It. 00:12:03 Sabine Really help us. Huge, huge, huge. That's one of the best tools you have for free available. So having taught Kundalini for 5th Kundalini yoga for nearly 15 years, the key is the breath. The key is your ability to navigate your nervous system and calm it down but also activate it when you want to. 00:12:23 Sabine So right now, even while you're listening to this podcast. 00:12:27 Sabine First of all, you will calm your nervous system if you breathe lower into the body, it's very stress stress response, like when you're in the upper body. So maybe placing your hands on your belly and feeling that as you inhale through the nose that your belly expands is a big reset. So inhale. Let your belly expand through the nose. Exhale through the nose. 00:12:47 Sabine Draw the belly back towards the spine and take as long as you can. If you can take another few seconds and hold the breath out and then inhale for count of five. 00:12:57 Sabine 12345 keep it in the belly. Hold it shortly, except for count of seven. One slow 234567. Inhale 123. 00:13:17 Sabine 4 Hold it briefly. Stay soft in your body and excel 123-4567 so the longer exhale will activate the relaxation response, healing and repair. 00:13:34 Sabine And if you are having a longer inhale than the exhale, that kind of stress breathing, you will activate the other side which is preparing you to deal with problems like running away from a bull or a tiger or whatever the metaphor could be, which could be the email or the conversation, or maybe watching the news. 00:13:54 Sabine Or even being exposed to too much bright light so that breath work right now, exhaling longer than the inhale. 00:14:02 Sabine And allowing yourself to feel the belly is very grounding for the nervous system, and it will have an instant effect. It can be a reset at lunchtime in the morning and before bed or in the shower. Whatever you do, no excuses. We can do this. 00:14:17 Rebekah Exactly. No excuses. And you know, I just did those few breaths while you were counting. And thank you. 00:14:22 Rebekah Notice even for those actually watching this as a video as opposed to what listening to the podcast, I could see your body moving just with the breath there. And I I was following it along myself and even just with those few, I have felt my. 00:14:36 Rebekah Self calm. 00:14:38 Sabine Straight off. 00:14:38 Because I. 00:14:39 Rebekah I get excited when I interview people with, you know, for the podcast, but even that I just noticed that I am calmer than when we first dialled in. So like you say, there's no excuses that took 30 seconds. Maybe if that, you know, wasn't even in a quiet space. 00:14:58 Rebekah You don't have to be alone. You don't have to be in a. 00:15:02 Rebekah You know, a yogic pose or anything like that. Like you say, you could even do it in the shower. You can calm your breathing down while you're driving in the car. If you're finding yourself getting really worked up with. 00:15:13 Sabine Traffic. You're in the dishes. Anything you do anything and you will actually have a higher intelligence. And I like to highlight that to people that are very intelligent. 00:15:23 Sabine And intellectual as you actually tap into a higher intelligence, that's much more create. 00:15:28 Sabine Give an open minded to spontaneous innovations and solutions that you can't see when you are breathing shallow literally because you are when you're breathing shallow looking for problems. The body is designed in the fight or flight to do a scan for issues and wildlife is difficult and you're gonna get trapped in that. 00:15:48 Sabine Versus if you're an entrepreneur or a mother that has to deal with lots of things, or a father anything like that in life. If you breathe slow. 00:15:57 Sabine Your ego self might say ohh I'm gonna slow down and go to sleep if you could. But you're not going to. You're actually gonna feel grounded, safe. And the higher intelligence inside you will be activated. So keep that in mind. Great stuff. 00:16:12 Rebekah So many things to learn about this. I'm I'm absolutely fascinated by. 00:16:17 Rebekah What the breath can do for us and like you said at the very beginning, it is. 00:16:20 Rebekah Free. We can do this anywhere, anytime. Of course. We're focusing on sleep today and this is this is one of those surefire things and I. 00:16:31 Rebekah Know this from from. 00:16:32 Rebekah Personal experience as well. If you are finding it difficult to go to sleep to have that restful sleep to even feel good when you wake up the next morning. 00:16:43 Rebekah And this is one of the first things that you can do that's easy to do. It's free. It doesn't take a lot of time. It's been I I know that in a a previous podcast you've done, you shared that around 45%. I think of it is 45% of people globally. 00:17:00 Rebekah Are experiencing sleep disturbances due to stress and overthinking. So why do you think this is? Why is this happening? Has it always been a thing or like you said, is this more because of what's been happening in the world the last few years? 00:17:16 Sabine It's a combination. I feel that the more we research it, the more we get. 00:17:20 Sabine Facts that perhaps people weren't looking at. I feel that humans always had reasons to be stressed. 00:17:26 Sabine Yes, but these days, because of the Internet and the artificial lighting and longer working hours and of course globally, there seems to be higher levels of stress. All you have to do is switch on the news and you. 00:17:40 Sabine Probably won't sleep. 00:17:43 Sabine I feel like life has changed for people and I feel the pandemic had an effect. Definitely there was a real change in people during and afterwards, and of course the innovation of artificial intelligence which is accelerating. 00:17:56 Sabine That all gets us into a mindset that is very dopamine heat oriented. It's very much being on a screen and it's not natural. We're disturbing our circadian rhythms and we've got more information than we are designed to cope with. So it's we have to literally counter that by using the breath. 00:18:16 Sabine By journaling, by being aware that we have to, I guess, have those boundaries, which is part of. 00:18:23 Sabine One of my pillars we need to have conscious boundaries on how much we're actually loading up into our brain, so to speak or into our worry system or trying to survive system. Otherwise we are just going to be totally stressed and not sleep. And of course, as you know and you're probably going to get into it. 00:18:43 Sabine The side effects on our not just mental health, but biological health are not. 00:18:48 Sabine Good. Sorry, but there are solutions so I'm also going to say that straight away. 00:18:48 No. 00:18:51 Rebekah Yes. 00:18:52 Rebekah Yes, exactly. Of course, I think everything we talk about here, this and this is This is why we do the work that we do right is because we know there are solutions. We're not here to say that we're going to get ever get to a point where there's nothing bad is ever going to happen or we're never going to feel stressed or we're never going to feel sad. 00:19:12 Rebekah We're not saying that we're simply saying there is a different way to live. There is a different way. 00:19:18 Rebekah To find your way through those particular situations, we don't have to fall in a heap or get stuck in a hole or get to the point because this is what I see happens and I know this is what happened to me, Sabine. But I I hit the proverbial rock bottom and it's a lot harder to climb. 00:19:39 Rebekah Out of that space, when you're so far at the bottom, it's like, why do we wait until we hit that? 00:19:46 Rebekah What? What? How can we actually encourage ourselves and other people to say, look, I I'm, I'm probably doing OK, but I'd like to do better. I'm not gonna wait until I hit that proverbial rock bottom. You know, you hear a lot of people. 00:20:04 Rebekah Say I'll sleep when I'm dead. 00:20:06 Sabine Yeah. Yeah. Wow. No. 00:20:06 Rebekah A lot of people are saying it in. 00:20:08 Rebekah Jest and they're. 00:20:09 Rebekah Like, oh, there's so many exciting things. 00:20:10 Rebekah To do but. 00:20:11 Rebekah Why is that saying? 00:20:14 Rebekah A bit of. 00:20:14 Rebekah A problem? 00:20:14 Sabine All off the charts, number one, if you're sleep deprived. Whatever you're trying to enjoy, you're not gonna enjoy it to the actual depth. You're gonna be rushing like I've seen people that come to retreat. 00:20:26 Sabine I've worked there. 00:20:28 Sabine And they find that they need 2 weeks to unwind because they are still recovering from lack of sleep. 00:20:34 Sabine And they're still planning, and they actually can't sit and enjoy what they're wanting to enjoy. So number one in that saying, it's not true if you don't sleep, you don't know how to stop and smell the roses and see the beautiful sunset and just be present to the moment. 00:20:49 Sabine Which is an everyday gift, not just for when. 00:20:52 Sabine You go on. 00:20:52 Sabine Holiday. But yes, one of the reasons is and you would always talk about this, I'm sure as well is because somehow people think they're gonna get away with it. And unless stress hits, they don't take the time to reflect and go. Hang on. What is my trajectory? Where am I actually heading here? Because you need to actually wind down to. 00:21:11 Sabine To assess where our life is heading, and that's where the journaling comes in a reflection. 00:21:16 Sabine On where am I heading and is this getting better or am I actually just keeping up a similar pattern and is this perhaps what my parents did very often? It's what our parents did as well, or an important person that was bringing us up, and then it's really about awareness and self reflection and unless people do that the most stressed people. 00:21:37 Sabine Are the less likely they're gonna do that, and that's where I've noticed my suggestion is always these are small things that you can do, like having a shower before bed, breathing for two. 00:21:49 Sabine Try it and give yourself the gift, because the biology responds and it's designed to need that so it can go into healing and repair. So I have to keep telling people I've learned over time it needs to be quick and effective and easy and I can explain the science and the biology and the gold mine that is linked with that. 00:22:10 Sabine And then afterwards people go. OK, OK, OK. And look, sometimes you need to scare people and say, like my mom, my beautiful, cute mom. 00:22:18 Sabine She's just ignored her health for a while and got away with a lot, but now she's watching my dad in the nursing home and somehow she has this illusion that she's not heading in that direction and I sometimes highlight mum, you could only have one fall. 00:22:34 Sabine You can with your with your lack of sleep, you you might not make the right decision some when something happens. She's already nearly 80, you know, and so it's very easy to end up in hospital. And then for other things to start happening and all of a sudden you're there if you get your sunlight and your sleep and then do a bit of work on your feet to get your balance back. 00:22:54 Sabine You can have another 20 years versus if you ignore that anyway. So sometimes I have to mention that. And then she goes. I'm getting my morning sunlight because I don't wanna end up in that nursing home. I don't wanna get Alzheimer's. I don't wanna have a horrible ageing process. So sometimes people need to hear that. Unfortunately to go. OK. 00:23:14 Rebekah I'm doing it, yeah. 00:23:16 Rebekah Look, I think we all need a reminder sometimes, don't we, even those of us who do this for a living, we we've gotta have a reminder that to to do the things I absolutely agree. And I I love that you gave that example. 00:23:28 Rebekah That your mum you know you said before in terms of breathing before bed, there's no excuses. It's free, it's easy. Age is not an excuse either, is it? We can start this anytime at any age to make an impact on however many years it is that we have left. And perhaps it could even. 00:23:49 Rebekah It could prolong our life, but we're talking more about quality. 00:23:53 Rebekah As well, the quality of our of our life could be improved or will be improved. 00:23:59 Sabine 100% being present to what the beauty is around you or making the right decisions about your health and and so many things that are linked with that. It is really about the quality of life, not so much the quantity, the quantity and quality can go together. 00:24:14 Sabine But it is impactful and really you know, I love to remind people, you know, your body repairs itself every seven years. 00:24:22 Sabine You practise something. Your body is highly responsive. Don't listen to any of the people that say, oh, you're too old. It's simply not. 00:24:29 Sabine True, there are. 00:24:30 Sabine Many that have transformed their life significantly and started the whole new chapter. 00:24:34 Rebekah Yes, exactly. Actually that leads me to a question to being talking about introducing some of these little things and I'd love to. 00:24:43 Rebekah Understand some more of these ideas from you. But how long do we need to do one of these things like start breathing for two minutes before bed, or have that shower before bed or whatever the other wonderful ideas you're gonna give us are before we start noticing a difference. 00:25:02 Sabine I know this will sound insane, I know, but within a day people I have worked with, people that have said, now that I've seen you, I actually felt like I could handle sleep. I didn't feel so out of control. I felt that the benefit would be great. I could surrender to it. I did 3 micro habits so that could be the shower magnesium spray. 00:25:23 Sabine A bit of breathing and just knowing it's possible, they said. I've had the best sleep in the last 10 years, I hear and I never expected it to be. I thought maybe after a few days, literally the next morning, a lot of people, some people might take longer. I'm not. 00:25:36 Sabine Saying like that. That's for everyone. 00:25:38 Sabine But just the empowerment to know you can is actually massive for people, and then the effect of having deeper sleep your body straight away feels better, like more energetic, maybe more mental clarity. The body really is amazing. It's a total miracle of how much we can get away with doing crazy things to it and and harming it on some level. 00:26:00 Sabine And then how much it responds when you actually give it that nervous system regulation? Again, that's all it needs. So really quickly really quickly. 00:26:08 Rebekah What? 00:26:10 Rebekah It's pretty impressive, isn't it? It it can be instantaneous and I totally. 00:26:14 Rebekah Totally resonate with that. Even just making the decision that you're going to do something different, it takes this weight off, it brings this relief. I even had this with somebody that I had a a discovery call with a little while ago and before she'd even made the decision to yes. 00:26:33 Rebekah I'm I wanna be coached by you. She already felt better that because we make that decision. It's like our body. Just. 00:26:38 MHM. 00:26:42 Rebekah Goes. 00:26:44 Rebekah Thank goodness there's help on the. 00:26:45 Sabine Way, yes, future then we realise, master, if that is really what I want your audience to hear, just making the decision and taking the smallest step will take off so much weight and tension in your jaw, in your face, in your mind and a sense of hopelessness away from you that in itself. 00:26:47 Sabine That is. 00:26:49 Yes. 00:27:04 Sabine That's your body taking a big breath and a huge relief in in in all the organs in your digestion, in your breathing, in your mental. 00:27:13 Sabine We are just amazing. 00:27:14 Rebekah Yes. And our body is very forgiving, but let's give it a little bit of a helping hand along the way. So with that in mind, can you talk us through a couple of other of these little micro habits and what they are, why they're important and the difference we can expect to see and feel? 00:27:14 Wait. 00:27:32 Sabine From them? Well, one of the things that you just inspired me to say was that it's really good to connect with what gave you joy when you were younger because. 00:27:42 Sabine Everyone's going to be different. Some people will want to do art at night or play, you know, put the candles on and and play Scrabble and it's relaxing for them. For someone else. It's not. So finding out what gives you joy and perhaps things you've let go of from when you grow up as a child or a teenager to now being an adult. 00:28:02 Sabine And I'm just going to be serious. You know, that kind of strange paradigm that will really help. So anyones listening right on the things that made you feel great. I've met people that. 00:28:12 Sabine For example, started fishing again when I was talking with them. They said I totally am fishing. To me is a meditation, he said. And I'm going to make an effort to go once a week or so because I've totally ignored that and I haven't realised that my lack of sleep can be fixed just by having a regular time to myself to go fishing. So. 00:28:32 Sabine Micro habits will be I can give you a smorgasbord, but the easiest one will be having a bath at night or a shower. 00:28:40 Sabine Seeing magnesium because it will relax your nervous system and we are all magnesium depleted due to stress and that's gonna calm everything and really accelerate your ability to feel tired and sleep well for some people it can be singing using your voice and reducing vagal stress so that the vagus tone. 00:29:00 Sabine You relax. You could go ohh. 00:29:03 Sabine Or just humming umm and feeling the relaxation. 00:29:09 Sabine For some people, it can be a good morning routine so that you get up the same time in the morning. Try to get your sunlight. For some people, that's life changing it sets your circadian rhythm and in the night you have a proper sleep drive and honouring that will be important. Going to bed at a similar time within half an hour or so because your programmed exactly like your laptop. 00:29:29 Sabine In your phone, if you give yourself that same pattern, your body will respond within three to four days. 00:29:35 Sabine And will yawn at the same time. Mine is at 9:00 cause at 9:30 I'm meant to be in my bed and I'm usually sleep around 9:45, ten on average, and I wake up refreshed around 7:00. So another important one that people don't realise and I didn't realise it is. 00:29:53 Sabine Oh, I'll just have a sleeping. I feel so delicious, and yes, it feels delicious, but often you feel really sapped for the rest of the. 00:30:03 Sabine And your circadian rhythm is out of whack, and that can take a week to reset for some people. Yeah, essentially for the whole pattern of your sleep cycles. So what other habits? 00:30:15 Sabine You cooled. Make sure dinner is further away from your sleep time. That's a really healthy habit. You could make a curfew with alcohol and try to have it much earlier. If you're gonna have it in the day. So it is processed. I always suggest try to have it on a Saturday lunch time or Sunday and try not to have alcohol. 00:30:34 Sabine During the week because it suppresses your sleep quality. 00:30:38 Sabine Powerfully, especially for women and also men, yes, but women in particular, even a glass of wine, especially post menopausal women, 40s, fifties, 60s, they always got 100%. They don't have to even do the research. Everyone is affected and the moment they change that sleep is much deeper. 00:30:57 Sabine And of course, she wakes up feeling more beautiful and radiant, and that in itself is a gift. So yeah, changing the lighting at night is a new habit. Notice. 00:31:03 Yes. 00:31:08 Sabine If two hours before bed, you can have candle light ambience, which is what we're programmed to neurologically observe and relax with. So keeping your lights very dim, having maybe light bulbs that are orange or red, dimming in the kitchen and in your bathroom especially. 00:31:28 Sabine A lot of people brush their teeth under very bright. 00:31:31 Sabine Conditions re stimulating themselves just before bedtime. 00:31:35 Rebekah So you can do all of these beautiful things and then walk into your bedroom, your bathroom, to brush your teeth. And like Bing, you're awake again. 00:31:43 Sabine At the cortisol release cause the light is in perceived through the top of your head, through your eyes, through the skin, it perceives all light and you will wonder why, unless you're completely exhausted, why you feel another burst off again went to bed. I was really tired. Why am I lying here like this? It's a deep frustration for a few for quite a few people. 00:32:03 Rebekah Yeah, that there's. 00:32:05 Rebekah So many things in there and I'm I'm having so many little light bulb moments in here. I absolutely love this Sabine. 00:32:11 Rebekah The the this one that you talked about in terms of having that sleep in, you know sometimes well for most people, I guess it will be on the weekends obviously for some people who perhaps work for themselves, you know like we do, we might be tempted to do it through the week. I remember reading about that a number of years ago now. 00:32:31 Rebekah And I thought, right, I'm gonna experiment with this myself, and I wouldn't class myself as a morning person. I don't like to label myself, but I love staying in bed. It's cosy. My dogs come up and cuddle me. I'm more of a night out. But I thought right when I wake up, I'm good. 00:32:50 Rebekah Get up and do you know what? Instantly I lost that brain fog. I lost that it. It was almost like a depressed state. That like this blanket in my brain when I was sleeping in or when I was going back to sleep. And I wondered why I was always like this and why I was always, like, plodding through my day. 00:33:13 Rebekah And it was that change, as much as I had to. 00:33:17 Rebekah Really encouraged. I'm not gonna say force. Really encourage myself to get out of bed at that time. I no longer felt that what I'd put down to a depression and that is a really important one. And that's a question I want to ask with that. Sabine, can you actually catch up on sleep? 00:33:28 MHM. 00:33:37 Rebekah You know, if you're not sleeping as much as you perhaps should or you're not. 00:33:41 Rebekah Sleeping well through the week for a variety of. 00:33:44 Rebekah Seasons. Can you actually catch up on the weekend or? 00:33:47 Rebekah Is that a? 00:33:47 Rebekah Bit of a myth. 00:33:48 Sabine Yeah, it's a myth. It will take a bit of time. The best way to catch up, so to speak in inverted commas, is to actually get into a good rhythm again. So getting up at sunrise or when the sun is up as early as you can get the sunlight. So the body reprograms, that's the same we. 00:34:05 Sabine Get like and go to bed after sunset and do the habits your body will actually adjust really quickly and feel very nourished and safe to have a deep sleep. Because remember your sleep will connect with your circadian rhythm and if that is in alignment and you are relaxed, you will have a good deep sleep sooner. 00:34:25 Sabine And then the brain detoxes. Hmm, that's what causes the brain fog when we have disrupted sleep and we're trying to catch up by sleeping in and all those things the brain doesn't actually recover from that unless you are sick. I always say, if you go, if you're sick or you've been through trauma. 00:34:42 Sabine Cancer or loss? Yes, you will need more sleep because you're processing a lot and listen to that. Yes. If you are having an everyday sort of life with all the usual stress, it's much better. Your body thrives on doing the same thing and you will recover quickly then. So the glymphatic system, not just the lymph under the armpits. 00:35:02 Sabine The glymphatic system in the brain actually washes through every single night, and the more you don't sleep well, the more you're going to be foggier have memory issues and more. It is linked with depression. They are linking it strongly with that, which is exactly what you did. I described now so beautifully. 00:35:20 Sabine And you'll be wondering what's going on. I'm having a relaxing morning. I'm giving myself that little delicious wake up and it's slow. And I can do it. And it's unfortunately, I've done the same thing after. It's always think, God, I look worse. And I feel worse and get up in the morning. I actually look better and feel better. 00:35:40 Sabine So we must consciously learn that and turn it around and just go to bed a little earlier at night, wind down at night. That would be my advice. So just give yourself that break when you feel groggy. Hang in until tonight, have a nice simple meal, meditate, relax, have a shower, make a sleeping ritual. 00:36:00 Sabine Body will adjust our infinitely more easier and better and and naturally yeah. 00:36:06 Rebekah Wonderful advice. There are lots of things we can try and and you mentioned earlier your 9 pillars to your best sleep you might have covered some of these already in our chat, but can you give us a bit of a broad overview or? 00:36:20 Rebekah Is there one pillar that we should focus in on? 00:36:24 Rebekah Where should we start with your 9 pillars? 00:36:26 Sabine Well, I love the 9 pillars because I have combined everything I've ever done as Sabine. Those that I know affects our health, so it's not superficial, but you're absolutely right. Some people will just work with one pillow. So the first one is I'll just run roughly through the in a nutshell. 00:36:44 Sabine So the first one is. 00:36:45 Sabine Being profound is very important. Is having the awareness and the awareness is all about you know, how much sleep will benefit you and you know how much lack of sleep will hurt you and cost you money and time and mental health and life quality. So that is important because otherwise you're gonna hear me speak or you and you're gonna go. 00:37:06 Sabine Now that was interesting. But mayor, don't take any action. So I the awareness is key. Once you have the awareness, I probably could sleep better. I probably am ignoring some of the signs. OK, cool. Now you can work on the awareness and your why and why you want to step into. So that's that's my NLP hypnosis type of. 00:37:26 Sabine Then light. So that's really important how you navigate light morning light. Evening. How artificial light, we call it blue junk light which affects your. It's actually worse than junk food. Some scientists say it's really because it disturbs you from even being able to absorb your good quality food and. 00:37:38 Wow. 00:37:45 Sabine The same is stress. If you are eating all the best food and spending money on gourmet nutrition and supplements in your stress. 00:37:52 Sabine Or not sleeping well. You will not absorb those things. So it's more of a waste. You will actually ferment that food and end up causing waste products. So I also remind people of that. That's why sleep is more important than nutrition initially at least. 00:38:07 Sabine So we've got the. 00:38:07 Sabine Light and so exercise obviously is the next one movement. 00:38:12 Sabine Body is designed to move so I help people find their favourite way of moving and one that actually helps. 00:38:17 Sabine We sleep, we don't want to go to the. 00:38:19 Sabine Gym at 10. 00:38:19 Sabine O'clock, like young people in my household, try to do and then somehow expect to sleep by 11 or 12. It's really, yeah, they're getting away with it because they're younger, but it's not really healthy. You wanna do your exercise more in the morning and you want to do stretching, stress, release things, breathing yoga. 00:38:37 Sabine In the evening. 00:38:38 Sabine That the next one is of course, food and digestion. Gut health is linked with sleep and sleep with gut health. It's a two way St like most things. So when we look at what foods actually work for your unique system, everyone's gonna be different. Like I can eat dairy, some people will be completely in strife. So it's about what works. 00:38:59 Sabine How does your digestion feel? 00:39:00 Sabine Your if you write in a sleep diary what you've eaten and how you feel in the morning, you're gonna discover very quickly what's disturbing you from sleeping well. So food when you eat it, how you eat it and then comes liquids. And so how do we hydrate? Do we take stimulants and energy drinks? Do we have herbal supplements? 00:39:21 Sabine When do we have them again, not just before. 00:39:24 Sabine It 2 hours before bed, a lot of people hydrate before bed and then have to get up at night to go to the bathroom because they've stimulated their kidneys. Hmm. So I also remind people to have a curfew on that. It makes you sleep so much better and you don't have to Peter, Peter out and stumble around and try not to switch on. 00:39:43 Sabine The bright lights. 00:39:44 Sabine It really helps. It's important, yeah. And then the next one is your environment. I talk about your sleep environment where? 00:39:52 Sabine Again, here comes the whole combination. It's not just about not having dust or the right pillow. It's also about do you really love your bedroom? 00:40:01 Sabine Do you? 00:40:02 Sabine We're going to visit your sanctuary. You spend a third of your life there, and if you make that into your sanctuary, they say it's more important than your kitchen and your living room that everyone spends all that money on all that garden. 00:40:14 Sabine You spend a third of your life in there to rejuvenate and be your best. So I'm gonna talk to people about can you take that old clutter out? Can you change your bed sheets to something really simple that you actually enjoy and gives you a sense space, A relaxation sense. And so that's a whole topic with couples, especially with different tastes. 00:40:35 Sabine Very interesting, and it also includes the right pillows and you know, some people like heavy and they feel safe. Other people need very light and really going wow, that's for some people it's a heavy blanket that isn't. That changes everything unbelievably amazing. 00:40:51 Sabine So then the other one is resources having resources is one of my pillars, feeling like if this doesn't work, what else can I try? It's not a one fits all, and I've got a smorgasbord. It's like you're going to a restaurant and you're not just looking at one thing. You got 20 things and you know exactly. Ohh, I love the green peas. Ohh. I don't like the cherries. And you can choose things that work for your. 00:41:13 Sabine You need lifestyles or feeling. You've got resources, recordings that can guide you. Journaling prompts. 00:41:19 Sabine Supplements that you might want to explore. Lots of incredible things. I've researched and put into one thing because not everyone knows about the dark cherry juice or the the infrared infrared that can really help you to sleep. There's just incredible resources, books, meditations, blah blah blah. 00:41:39 Sabine The net boundaries and nervous system. That's the 9th pillow. Sorry, that's the eighth pillar. And that's all about making sure your nervous system is harmonising towards the end of the day and you have boundaries, IE you don't call the stressful friend after a certain time or you don't check your bank or you don't look at. 00:41:57 Sabine News. It's really just simple. That's something I'm not doing cause I'm honouring my sleep, so super important. Keeping your nervous system balanced after 6:00 and working on enjoying the fact that sleep is a 2 hour process. Don't notice that they think. Ohh yeah, I'm tired. Boom, hit the pillow. It's a 2 hour process. 00:42:18 Sabine You get your maximum deep rims slow wave all the goodies, all the brain that goes through detoxing with the clock. Genes are making these these signs around my. Yeah, but it it starts at 11:12. One 2-3 and it it it. It heals and integrates different proteins and. 00:42:38 Sabine Hormones. And if you're always waking up between 3:00 and 4:00, you're missing out on a certain type of repair and. 00:42:44 Sabine You will be. 00:42:45 Sabine Feeling that in your health overtime last one, not last, and then we've got the unconscious mind which you know all about. Yes, this is all about what was your childhood like. Did you have trouble sleeping? 00:42:57 Sabine Were your grandparents escaping the war and they had to stay awake so they wouldn't get killed, we inherit those things and carry them. I've worked with a lot of people. 00:43:07 Sabine I said I've never slept well, neither does my sister. And yes, there was a lot of war trauma and we feel like we are never safe to sleep and we can unwind that. We can move that self hypnosis. How you talk about sleep is all part of that. And the last two are the bonuses. That's your chronotype, which is finding out what is your inherent pattern of sleep. 00:43:29 Sabine And. 00:43:29 Sabine And how that works with your circadian patterns and synchronising that and doing like the important work when you are optimised rather than trying to be a morning person when you're actually a midday person or an evening person and then the last bonus in that pillar is that you have created a little sleep diary so that you can be your own scientist and actually. 00:43:50 Sabine Realise wow Sabin, when I don't take these or when I do that, I slept better and you become your own researcher and become, you know, enjoying your own journey and your unique why you don't have to pay someone to do that. So these are the pillars and I. 00:44:04 If. 00:44:05 Sabine That they will do everything short of you needing surgery. You know your nose being blocked or something like this, but even that we can. We can work with and I can give you suggestions. Sleep apnea, all these kinds of things. Goodness me. Sorry. That was a lot of. 00:44:19 Sabine Stuff but here. 00:44:19 Rebekah Ohh that's so good. I've written them all down so we've got awareness, light exercise or movement, food, digestion, liquids, environment, resources, boundaries and the nervous system and the unconscious mind. And then of course, I love that you've got bonuses. I love bonuses. Talking about your chronotype. 00:44:37 Rebekah And that sleep, diary and what I really love about that, Sabine. And thank you for going into so much detail. My mind is just buzzing and I'm I'm excited to. I know you've got something on your website that we can download and I'll ask you about that in a moment. What I loved about what you said there is become your own researcher. The reason I love that. 00:44:58 Rebekah Is because we do rely on a lot on people to just give us the answer. I mean, as coaches, we expect people to come to us and ask. 00:45:09 Rebekah You know, ask for help and we are simply there, of course, as a guide, there is a difference between a counsellor, A psychologist, a coach and mentor. All of these things, we are there as a guide, but it is so important for all of us to become our own guide as well. Our own researcher. And when we talk about research, it's not just typing. 00:45:30 Rebekah Something into Google or ChatGPT these days and taking the first answer, don't get me wrong, I love AI. I love chat. I'm a Googlers from way back. 00:45:40 Rebekah But taking the first answer or the second answer is is not research right. We need to understand where to find information to become an advocate for ourselves. You know, if we do go to a, an, an expert and I'm gonna put that in quotations as well an expert or a specialist if the answer. 00:46:00 Rebekah Doesn't feel right to us. It is OK to go looking for another answer. You know, we know our bodies better than anybody else. And and it's important that we take responsibility for ourselves rather than. 00:46:14 Rebekah Just taking information on and and I guess believing it as gospel like you were saying, there's so much there that probably many people have never thought of the your example of generational trauma and how that has an impact or could have an impact on our sleep even though we weren't there. 00:46:35 Rebekah That wasn't a problem that we have had to deal with first hand, but it could actually have an impact, though. That's yeah, that was one thing at the end there that I really picked up on be your own research. And I love that you've provided a tool for that. 00:46:42 Sabine It does. 00:46:53 Rebekah So if if someone was to. 00:46:56 Rebekah If someone is listening at the moment Sabine and they go well, that's great. You've just given me 9 pillars to concentrate on and some bonuses, but I'm super busy. Sabine, I'm a mum or a dad. I work a full time job, you know, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. How can we simplify it for them? What would be the first thing? 00:47:17 Rebekah To concentrate on so that they don't have this big To Do List of things because as you know, that's often where people just go. It's too hard, they procrastinate. 00:47:25 Rebekah Rather than do something, I'm going to do nothing. Where can we start? 00:47:29 Sabine OK, so the first thing is I've actually created that online course with exactly that person in mind, because that's the thing I keep hearing. I don't know what's going on, but I also want to know what I can. 00:47:39 Sabine Do. 00:47:40 Sabine And I don't wanna get complicated. Some people wanna do a coaching and they really want a deep dive. 00:47:45 Sabine And get rid of the subconscious aspects. Yeah. I have actually designed it so that each module I'm just, I'm gonna give you tips as well, but each module is literally a 5 minute video of me. Then there's a PDF that you can go through and deep dive which is one page. 00:47:48 But. 00:47:55 Rebekah Fantastic. 00:48:00 Sabine For each module and of course the resources and little recordings to help you breathe. Because I know we need a scaffolding. There's so much information overwhelmed and business that unless we trust someone because I guess they have to feel the vibe that they can trust me, that I'm in it for the right reasons and then exploring that. 00:48:20 Sabine And making it affordable as well. Some people said you should charge thousands. I said no. I want people to reach this. I want people to be able to get the benefit so. 00:48:29 Sabine I'm primarily, you know, not in it for the money at all. I'm in it to see humans thrive. That's what's driven my entire life, and it's not an ego. 00:48:38 Sabine It's truly what it is. So what I would say is that. 00:48:43 Sabine Reflect on those pillars and decide which one is the easiest, most basic to do right because you want a win situation. So if that means for you to start with that shower instead of in the morning at night, if that means applying magnesium spray to your body, I promise you it's very effective. If that means just that breath or dimming your lights down. 00:49:03 Sabine If that's all you can do, it's actually powerful, and the trick is and you and I both know this as cold. 00:49:09 Sabine It's not the knowledge, it's actioning it so. 00:49:12 Sabine Top is the smallest thing, even if it means OK. I'm gonna do a morning and evening walk because you have a dog or whatever day. I think dogs are all rescuing humans out there. 00:49:22 Right. 00:49:24 Sabine Yeah, and cats, too, of course. They're so cuddly. But maybe eating dinner just half an hour earlier, maybe writing down gratitude before bed. Just three things you're grateful for. These are small tweaks, but micro neural habits is what I'm all about. I've studied the neurology. So have you. So you've got that support. Tell your Co. 00:49:44 Sabine Which is I have got no time, but I really want to do this. What are the basics? And sometimes it's about being kept accountable, which is also why I have created this course on a platform where you're automatically part of a membership and you get to see me once a week live. So you can ask me questions. I've tried to create what I would want. 00:50:05 Sabine And what even someone with minimum finances and minimum time and even huge scepticism would say, well, I've got nothing much to lose, except maybe $100 or so. Right. So choose what gives you joy? Maybe listen to a meditation at night, decide to switch off stress after 7 or. 00:50:23 Sabine Clock. I'm sure everyone listening can find something like this. It doesn't cost you anything if you got more money, change your light bulbs, get infrared so no lights going. There's lots of things. If you've got the money, that could be easier. Because sometimes I'll just say that as the last thing. Sometimes it's easier to sit in front of an infrared light. 00:50:43 Sabine And switch it on cause it's least. 00:50:45 Sabine Things to do and you can afford to get to spend 700 bucks or 500 bucks for one. Your mind knows that one I can do. Find it and ask yourself that question and start. That's it. Start today. Write it down and just begin. That's it. I'm sure you would say the same. 00:50:51 Sabine But. 00:51:02 Rebekah Thing I would look, there's everything that you said. 00:51:05 Rebekah I'm like, you can see me. I'm nodding. I'm like, yes, yes, yes, we are on the same page. We are talking about the same stuff you are. I I just love this. You're cementing what it is that I love talking to people about and that This is why I wanted to have you on the podcast because the of course, the more that we. 00:51:24 Rebekah Here the the same thing. The more it sticks in our mind. Of course, repetition is key. That's how we build a muscle that's. That includes our brain muscle and then consistency. But the the one thing that you've said today is the most important is what is the one action you're going to take. 00:51:45 Rebekah From here, and I encourage all of our listeners to you've just had us for about 40 minutes. 00:51:50 Rebekah So from everything that you've heard today, what is the one easiest and I love that was the easiest or the simplest thing that you can take from our conversation today and implement into your life tonight. You don't have to wait till tomorrow or the weekend to think about it or next week or when you have holidays. There is something in here for everyone and you can. 00:52:12 Rebekah Implement it tonight. So thank you so much for going into so much detail, Sabine. 00:52:17 Sabine I would add a small little in brackets to that if you can make it something that you don't need anyone else to depend. 00:52:24 Sabine Con. Very good, right? Yeah. So ideally don't say ohh. They are gonna do this and then I can do this. If you do have that situation, then negotiate. 00:52:32 Sabine If you can. 00:52:33 Sabine Help me with this and support that, IE let me be before sleep in my own bubble of whatever that really helps, but ideally make it so that no one else can interfere with your choice. 00:52:44 Sabine And you can really own it even if you go to work, make sure you get that lunch time, sunlight, or maybe then journal three things you're grateful for. If you can't get it at your home life, try to get it. When you've got that space and and enable yourself or negotiate with your family and love. 00:53:00 Rebekah Absolute and share this episode with them. If you're trying to make a change to your sleep or what I actually want to say also is that every yes, we're focused on sleep, but everything that we've just talked about here has an impact on every area in your life. You can you can take what the the suggestions that Sabine has given or the. 00:53:20 Rebekah Conversations that we've had and apply them to other areas in your life. 00:53:24 Rebekah But share this episode with your family members or with your work colleagues and say I'm trying to make a change. This is why This is why it's so important. Actually, if you could you put this podcast on in the car and listen to it, it'll give you a really good understanding of what it is I'm trying to do and why I'm trying to do it. And I would love your support. People love to help. 00:53:44 Rebekah That needs to. 00:53:45 Sabine Ohh and I've got a I've got a super naughty ending that you just you really inspire me, you know, Rebecca, you can also put a little wink on and say, OK, libido will improve. Well, I think we'll say. Ohh. Thanks very much. I'm. I'm what? What can we do? 00:53:45 Rebekah Be in there. 00:53:55 Ohh yeah. 00:54:00 Sabine Being able to conceive, they're wanting to get pregnant will improve with better sleep dinner. If your kids don't like what you're cooking, you could say, well, I'm gonna cook a lot nicer and a lot more creatively. If I've had good sleep studies in your children or whatever they're going through will improve, and your overall health and level of joy. 00:54:20 Sabine Will increase for sure, so the benefit is that gold mine it is an infinite gold mine invest in it. 00:54:27 Rebekah And who doesn't want to feel more joyful, feel happier, feel healthier?

We've all heard someone say your physical environment is a reflection of what's going on in your mind. But is that actually true? In this episode, we're talking clutter - mental, physical, digital - and the invisible load it places on your brain. I'm joined by life organiser and declutter coach Bridget Johns, who shares how small changes in your environment can have a big impact on your clarity, stress levels, and overall mental load. We explore the real reasons your brain feels full all the time (spoiler: it's not just your schedule), and how creating simple systems at home and work can reset more than just your to-do list. This isn't about turning your house into a minimalist showroom or labelling everything in sight. It's about getting honest with yourself about what's actually helping… and what's just adding noise. What you'll hear: ✅ Why 'doing it all' is exhausting, and what to do instead ✅ How clutter fuels decision fatigue (even when you don't notice it) ✅ The 1% rule that can help you feel more in control, starting today ✅ A refreshing take on getting kids and partners involved (without the nagging) ✅ What changes when you stop carrying the whole mental load alone Whether your kitchen bench is spotless or covered in mail, this episode will have you thinking differently about what's taking up space, not just on your shelves, but in your head.

What if imposter syndrome wasn't a flaw to fix… but a sign you're about to grow? In this powerful episode, Rebekah sits down with construction industry powerhouse and keynote speaker Mrs Kim Allen to unpack how imposter syndrome shows up in unexpected places, and what to do when it does. From high-vis job sites to high-pressure government meetings, Kim shares how she shifted from self-doubt to self-leadership in an industry that wasn't built with women in mind. They discuss identity, burnout, authenticity, and why changing your outer world starts by tuning in to your inner one.

In this episode of The Brain Changers™, we explore one of the most underrated forces shaping your reality... your language. Not just what you say out loud, but the words you whisper to yourself on repeat. Whether you realise it or not, your inner dialogue is wiring your brain for how you experience the world. We unpack how your Reticular Activating System filters your reality based on your language, why phrases like "I'm bad with time management" keep you stuck, and how small, intentional shifts in self-talk can change everything. You'll hear a powerful exercise we shared in our latest Mind Masters Collective Masterclass, where we help someone gently reframe their internal language using a simple but effective technique we call "moving up the ladder". If you've ever wanted to feel more calm, clear and confident in life, start with your words. What you'll learn from this episode: ✅ Why your self-talk becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy ✅ How the brain's RAS makes your words feel like facts ✅ A simple technique to reframe limiting self-talk, one step at a time ✅ How to move from "I can't" to "I'm becoming" ✅ The neuroscience behind why small internal shifts = big changes And… we drop a little hint about something exciting we've been working on behind the scenes... something designed to help you master these tools and create lasting transformation.

Welcome to Episode 27 of The Brain Changers™. In this episode, Rebekah is joined by heart-led changemaker and transformation specialist Maryanne Katsidis for a conversation that will challenge the way you speak about yourself - and possibly change the way you see yourself too. From "I'm an empath" to "I have anxiety," many of us use labels that seem helpful on the surface but actually keep us stuck, depleted, and disconnected. Rebekah shares how she used to believe she was highly sensitive, when in reality, she was just emotionally burnt out. Together, they unpack why the language we use about ourselves matters so much, and how to shift it into something more empowering. Expect soulful stories, practical strategies, and a refreshing take on identity, boundaries, and emotional self-leadership. This episode is your gentle (but honest) invitation to ditch the labels and get curious about who you really are. What you'll learn from this episode: ✅ Why labels like "anxious" or "empath" might be masking depletion, grief, or lack of boundaries ✅ How your self-talk and identity language impacts emotional well-being and growth ✅ The hidden damage caused by over-identifying with diagnoses or traits ✅ A simple daily check-in practice to reconnect with yourself (no fluff, just honesty) ✅ How to rewrite your internal script with compassion and clarity Timestamps00:00 – Welcome and intro to the topic 03:15 – The problem with labels: Rebekah's 'empath' story 08:40 – Why we cling to identity words (and why they're not helping) 15:30 – Labels vs. clarity: What's underneath your 'title'? 22:45 – Disconnection, identity, and the cost of lazy language 30:10 – How to tell if you're depleted, not deeply sensitive 37:00 – The emotional toll of not processing your feelings 42:00 – The power of inner child check-ins (and why they work) 52:20 – How to begin rewriting your identity through language 58:00 – Final takeaways and practical next steps Links and Resources Join the Mind Masters Collective https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/mind-masters– Download our free 12-minute body-scan meditation to help you unwind: https://www.moonbeammonday.com.au/resources/reduce-stress-hypnotic-audio Book a Connection Call with Rebekah https://bit.ly/connect-with-moonbeam Connect with Us Website: https://moonbeammonday.com.au Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonbeammonday/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moonbeammonday LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebekah-king00/ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@moonbeammondaytrainingcoac4696 Connect with Maryanne Katsidis Website: https://www.maryannekatsidis.com Instagram: @maryannekatsidis Listen to her podcast, 'The Heart-Led Changemakers Podcast', wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Episode 25: Could this one nerve be the real reason you're tired, bloated and burnt out? In this week's episode, I'm joined by naturopath, gut health expert, (and record-holding powerlifter!!) Emily Maddern, founder of Praxis Blooming in West Lakes, South Australia, for a powerful conversation about the real impact of the vagus nerve and how our mind and body are far more connected than we've been led to believe. You'll learn why symptoms like bloating, fatigue, poor sleep, and emotional flatness aren't always just "normal" or signs of getting older, and how they might actually be subtle signals from a dysregulated nervous system. If you've been ticking all the boxes with your health but still feel off, this episode might hold the answers. Together, we'll explore: ✅ What the vagus nerve is (and why everyone's suddenly talking about it) ✅ The subtle signs your body is stuck in fight-or-flight—even if you don't "feel stressed" ✅ Why women in midlife may need a completely different approach to exercise, cold plunging, and recovery ✅ Why symptoms like bloating, reflux, fatigue, and insomnia could be nervous system issues in disguise ✅ How we can begin healing with *gentle*, sustainable shifts—no extremes or gimmicks Plus, Emily shares why she's swapped cereal for lentil curry at breakfast, how listening to your inner voice can radically change your health, and what it really means to be a record-holding powerlifter! This episode is packed with wisdom, practical tools, and one very big takeaway: ➡️ Long-term health starts with tuning in and supporting our bodies with consistency, not punishment.

Ever found yourself torn between your head saying one thing, your heart whispering another, and your gut just… churning? Yep... us too! In this episode of The Brain Changers podcast, we're diving into the science behind indecision and showing you how to align the three key centres of intelligence in your body: your head, heart, and gut. This isn't just a metaphor — it's neuroscience. You have three distinct neural networks, each with its own form of wisdom. When they're out of sync, decision-making feels like walking through fog. But when they're aligned? That's when clarity, calm and confidence kick in. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ What it really means to have "three brains" (and yes, it's backed by science) ✅ How your gut, heart and head influence decisions in different ways ✅ Signs your internal signals are misaligned — and how to spot them ✅ A simple, powerful process to tune in and reconnect with each one ✅ Why "overthinking" is often a case of under-feeling or under-trusting Whether you're stuck on a big life choice or just want to stop second-guessing yourself every five minutes, this episode is your go-to guide for making decisions that feel right in every way.

Ever had one of those days where nothing goes to plan... your to-do list is set, every detail is sorted, and then… BAM, life throws a curveball?  If you love having control over things, those moments can feel frustrating. But what if the key to real freedom isn't in controlling every detail, but in letting go? In this episode of The Brain Changers™, we're exploring why our brains crave control, how that can actually keep us stuck, and the surprising benefits of embracing uncertainty. We'll show you how to shift from rigid control to real flow, so you can navigate life with more ease, trust, and resilience. What you'll learn in this episode: ✅ Why our brains naturally resist uncertainty, and how to work with that, not against it ✅ The hidden costs of trying to control everything in your life ✅ How letting go of control actually gives you more power (not less!) ✅ A mindset shift that helps you trust yourself no matter what happens ✅ Practical ways to move from stress and rigidity to flow and freedom Key takeaways: 🔹 Control is an illusion. No matter how much we try, we can't control everything, so learning to embrace uncertainty is a superpower. 🔹 Your brain fills in the blanks with worst-case scenarios. Understanding this can help you challenge those thoughts and reframe your mindset. 🔹 Rigidity leads to stress, but flexibility leads to resilience. The more we practise letting go, the more in control we actually feel. 🔹 Trust is the antidote to control. When you trust yourself to handle whatever comes your way, you don't need to micromanage every detail.

Do you avoid the camera like it's out to get you? Feel self-conscious the moment someone says, "Say cheese"? Or maybe you've put off updating your headshots because you're waiting to lose weight, get the perfect outfit, or just feel ready?   You're not alone.   In Episode 20 of The Brain Changers Podcast, Rebekah sits down with the brilliant Grier Neilson, founder of Bohemian Ekko Creative, to tackle one of the biggest mindset blocks holding people back - fear of being seen. Whether it's avoiding photos, dreading video calls, or struggling to show up confidently on social media, many of us feel exposed in front of a lens.   But what if being seen could actually be empowering?   With over 30 years of experience in photography, makeup, film, and editorial, Grier has worked with global icons like Michael Bublé, Janet Jackson, and Taylor Swift - but her true passion lies in helping everyday women feel comfortable, confident, and authentically themselves in photos. In this conversation, she shares how self-image, past experiences, and subconscious fears impact how we see ourselves - and how to shift that perspective so we can step into visibility with confidence.   Grier also opens up about her powerful photography projects, Feathered and Flock 50, which celebrate women in their raw, authentic beauty, helping them break through fear, embrace their stories, and leave behind a legacy of self-acceptance.   If you're ready to finally stop hiding, this episode is for you.   Topics discussed: The psychology behind camera shyness, and why it's not about the camera. How perfectionism and self-doubt sabotage your ability to be seen.   How stepping in front of the camera can be a transformative, healing experience. Why "I'll do it when I lose weight" is one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves. Practical confidence-building strategies for photos, videos, and even Zoom calls.
