    Radical responsibility

    Radical responsibility

    Emily Chadbourne is full of life, full of joy and full of inspiration. Now working as a mindset coach, and on the verge of launching her new business, she has learned a lot that we discuss in the podcast. If you get a chance to check out her instagram page you will see what I mean. 

    Em followed a man for love from the UK to Australia, leaving behind a lucrative hospitality career. She struggled to find work in Australia and had to accept working as a waitress for $20 per hour. She spiralled into debt, into alcohol, and into a deep dark place. After her boyfriend left her, and she had humiliated herself at a friends wedding, she decided it was time to change. She had spent much of her life, to that point, blaming other people and circumstances for her situation. She decided to take radical responsibility, and everything changed.

    She learned, she changed, and she created a successful business as a mindset coach. On her journey she discovered some secrets to living a life of joy, purpose, and meaning. Now, she shows other women how to consciously cultivate their personal power through their mindset, spiritual scaffolding and aligned systems. This is fun and inspiring conversation, not to be missed

    Just as life was looking rosy for Michelle, it all turned in a very different direction, and if not for her 'what if?' attitude, it could have all turned out to be a very different story. A global pandemic changed everything for Mish. She lost her business, she suffered from a significant heart issue, Pericarditis, as a result of the vaccine, which has had a lasting impact on her health. In addition to that, she lost her beloved dog Diesel, her father, and her pet cat all within the space of 12 months. How would you respond?

    Phyllis Leavitt has just written book called America in Therapy: A New Approach To Hope And Healing For A Nation In Crisis, in which she talks about the urgency to bring our whole country to therapy in a way never written about before. From years of experience as a client herself, and well over 30 years experience as a psychotherapist working extensively with individual and family dysfunction and abuse, she felt a deep calling to share all she has learned with the public and demonstrate how the principles of the best psychotherapy can be used to help heal a country of escalating hatred, divisiveness and violence. 

    Trust me, this is not just a conversation about America only, it for every person in every country in the world. She speaks to all  who fear for children and all future generations, who may feel hopeless or resigned or simply don't know what to do to help create a more loving and sustainable world. She brings a message of both urgency and hope that each one of us can be a healer, in language the layman can easily relate to and understand, through personal stories, client case studies, and professional expertise. 

    Phyllis and I discuss many things that can help every person live a life of joy, meaning, and healing. Then through the choices we all make, how we can have a powerful and positive ripple effect on, not just healing a relationship, a family, a community, even a country, but the whole world. It is a big task, However, Phyllis and I, and hopefully you, are up for it. This is powerful conversation, not to be missed

    Wonder words

    Madonna Santa is a trauma counselor, wellness coach, mentor and public speaker and runs an online platform focused on mental health and empowerment. She also hosts her podcast ‘Conversations with Madonna’, where she her guests from all over the world speak on all topics ranging from world events to mental, physical and spiritual health. She has had a 26 year career is community services, public speaking, running women’s groups and leadership programs, teaching in the tertiary sector and now runs her own counselling practice working with people who experience trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse and anxiety, and is about to write her first book.

    Her approach to therapy is different in that she works herself out of a job, not keeping you in therapy for years but using techniques she has learned in her studies and research on neuroplasticity, psychology and holistic energy work to facilitate you into ‘Creating the Life you Deserve’. Madonna has helped thousands of people shift trauma, no matter what background or situations they have been in. It has been her experience throughout her 26 years in the industry and also her own personal experiences, no matter what circumstances have created trauma, anxiety or dis-ease, with the right tools in your toolkit for life, you can thrive rather than survive.

    Madonna is living proof of her methods working, having been told at the age of 30 she would never walk again after the doctors who administered a spinal block during the delivery of her daughter made a mistake that resulted in her being incapacitated, experiencing chronic pain, fatigue and consequently being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, chronic migraines and a heart condition. This did not stop her from reaching her goals and creating the life she deserves. It propelled her into a journey of healing, understanding how the medical model of health, whilst helpful for acute illness, is far behind ancient wisdom and natural medicines, especially when it comes to women’s health. She discovered the true power of mind over matter, applied it to her life and lives a healthy and dynamic life and wants to share that with other’s so they too, can thrive rather than just survive through their lives. 

    Having a background in behavioural studies, community development and psychology, Madonna researched how to use neuroplasticity and wonder words to bring her back to wellness and it is her life’s mission to help other’s do the same. With her no nonsense, dynamic and inspirational way of imparting information, Madonna will have you focused, energised, bouncing back to health and creating the life you deserve in no time.
