Dr. Val Rytova is a neuroscientist, passionate about empowering people to have clarity about their brain. With a PhD focusing specifically on behavioural neuroscience, her expertise is a great asset to exploring complex behaviours like fear, conflict, anxiety, social behaviour, and much more.
She is the founder of Love of Brain workshops, an educator, a kite surfer, and a mother. Val also had some strong opinions based on a combination of knowing how the field of science works in regards to research and the time it takes to get a product to market, as well an inner gut knowing that something wasn't right with the medical madness of 2021/22. She shares her insights around this and so much more.

So, what I loved about this chat with Annie was hearing about her journey from growing up under the mentorship of a staunch feminist stepmother at a very formative time in her development, to the place she’s arrived at now which is having a very different perspective on feminism and the true meaning of the sacred feminine.
Annie Alcorn is a spiritual mentor and creator of A Sacred Wild Life, where she guides women to rediscover the sacred in their everyday lives through creativity, nature's rhythms, and inner work. With a unique approach that blends art as a path to knowing self, journaling, and conscious cooking, Annie guides women to empower themselves by connecting with their authentic selves and seeing the spiritual, the profound within the the fabric of their daily routines.
Her courses, like The Alchemy of Bread: Nourish Your Soul with Sourdough and Rooted in Truth: Aligning your Beliefs with Nature and Authenticity, offer transformative experiences that lead to greater self-awareness, self-compassion, and a profound alignment with the True Self. As someone who walked the path of the New Age and stepped away to find deeper authenticity, Annie emphasizes grounding, integrity, and the beauty and expansion that’s possible when living in harmony with nature.
She also shares her wisdom and insights through her Substack newsletter and her podcast, A Sacred Wild Life, where she explores themes of spiritual growth, creativity, and living in alignment with one's true nature.

Georgina describes herself as a heart-driven co-creator in the dance of life, and a mix of soft and fierce – but I’d also like to add giggly as you’ll hear throughout the conversation, her laugh is infectious.
Georgina juggles many roles – mother, wife, coach, numerologist and Truth speaker. As a manifesting generator with the cross of the Sleeping Phoenix 4, Georgina’s purpose is to love her multi passionate life and pursue all the things that light up her heart. And this is why currently she offers numerology readings and courses as well as coaching for natural pregnancy, birthing and new Mums.
At only 30 years of age, Georgina’s compassion and wisdom stems in large part from her very tough childhood involving repeated sexual abuse in a very unsafe and unhealthy childhood home. We talk a little about this but you can find out more on her own podcast. She says on her website that entering her world means you’re going to get the real, unfiltered Georgina, no fluff and this is one of the things I love and respect about her. She’s a sovereign being with a strong desire to help heal the collective.

Tracy is a Death Midwife who serves as a guide to those going through the dying process. She understands death as a sacred rite of passage, much like the birth of a baby, but realizes there is little to no blissful anticipation or celebration amongst the dying.
She’s worked as a registered nurse for 18 years and has specialized in hospice care for 10 of those. After years of first-hand experience within the healthcare industry, Tracy decided to create a business of her own that would give people the autonomy and support not readily available to them through conventional means.
Using a straight-forward approach, Tracy assists individuals and their families in creating an end-of life experience that feels right for them. She focuses on death as a journey that includes transparent conversations and a unique opportunity to meet death more consciously.

Alyssa radiates as a guiding force in the realm of conscious motherhood and holistic birthing, embodying compassion, knowledge, and intuition as a holistic birth doula.
Alyssa empowers expectant mothers and their families to reclaim their power outside the confines of the mainstream system. Her own journey into conscious motherhood ignited with the birth of her own children, propelled her to explore mindfulness, gentle parenting, and holistic practices.
In this tender conversation, Alyssa shares with us her recent experience of a late pregnancy loss and her decision to carry the baby naturally until her body was ready to release it. The emotional depths this journey took Alyssa and her family on have strengthened them all in untold ways to the point where she says 'now I know I can do anything'. This is a profoundly touching and healing conversation.
(I just need to mention that we had a little Mexican power blackout interrupt our transmission of these divine messages. So hang in for a few secs around the 13 minute mark while I find the pause button.)

This chat with Johhny was so cool as he's one of those people who I knew from afar these last few years but always thought I'd love to learn more about him and what he's up to.
Johnny owns Holddown Brazillian Jujitsu based in Northland, New Zealand. He runs multiple gyms or spaces bringing together anyone and everyone drawn to learning the art and practice of BJJ. He has a solid following within his communities as someone who is inclusive in the true sense of the word and walks his talk when it comes to BJJ and life in general.
Johnny's background growing up in working class England, being part of a long lineage of boxers and just having to have his wits about him from an early age is a fascinating listen.
He is a brown belt, currently training for his black belt, he competes and lives and breathes BJJ. Johnny is also a surfer, father of three and husband to Rebecca, a crucial part of his success and an ex elite athlete herself. Enjoy the chat and find links to his work below.
