Hello Rebecca Ray, The Podcast.

Kate McKenna, Performance Coach, visits us on the podcast today to talk about everything she's learned as an elite athlete, corporate success story turned coach, and parent when it comes to self-discipline and how you can hack your way to creating the life you want to create. This episode is for you.

Vanita Smith visits the podcast today to discuss the how to change behaviours that don't support who you want to become, but have become habits (and are therefore really hard to change!). Want to adjust your health habits to look after yourself a little more? This episode is for you.

Dr Xavier Mulenga visits the podcast today to discuss addiction from the perspective of a psychiatrist, and how and when to access mental health support to ensure your well-being is prioritised.

Chloe McLeod visits the podcast today to discuss the small habits we can make in our nutrition and lifestyle for big positive impact on our health. If you've noticed unhealthy habits creep into your routine when it comes to nutrition, this episode is for you.

Dr Sarah is visiting the podcast today to talk about how parents can manage anxiety about their own parenting, and across the transitions that our little ones go through. Her down-to-earth style is one I love, and there are a stack of tips to take away in this episode for you.

This episode is your invitation to opt out of the lies you've been told about what your journey ‘should' look like. Debunk and unpack these lies with me, so that you can continue on your own terms, in your own time, and in a way that works for you.   Please do excuse some of the sections of this episode where the numbers are a little all over the place. My brain was addled with a cold, but I promise you the content still rocks!  

If you've followed my work for a while, you probably know that patience is not my strong suit. It's one of my big life lessons when it comes to ‘things that don't come naturally, but make a positive difference to my experience'. If you wish it was all done by yesterday, then this episode is for you.

What if you're suffering emotional distress about ‘failing', when it's exactly that failure that is redirecting you to your future success? This is the question I'm posing in today's episode, the collective answers to which I hope help you powerfully reframe your current experience on your journey.

So, you want to write a book, hey? I get asked about book publishing so often that I thought I would summarise what I've learned about publishing through five books so far. I hope it helps to get your book out into the world!

It takes an incredible amount of courage to get from a beginning to a middle, and it takes even more courage to stay in the middle to do the work. In this episode, I'm shining a light on the middle-y bit of the vision that you're creating and the goals that you're working on. Need the inspiration and motivation to keep going? This is it.

Join me for a discussion on self-trust and the power of believing in yourself for moving forward. We dive into how to develop self-trust and how we cross our own boundaries to figure out how to come back to self-trust.

This episode is for you if you're feeling very strongly right now that you should just give up on your goals. It's the reminder that you might very well need about what's in store for you, and how it might just be better than you can ever imagine.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on my progress and process over the span of creating 5 books and 4 podcasts and sharing with you 30 things I know now, that I wish I knew at the beginning of it all.

This episode will help you become a detective for the alignment in your business and life – where things are working, and where they are not. Feeling like you're operating in a way that is not taking you in the direction you truly want to go? This episode is for you.

This is the third episode of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage. In this episode, we're looking at the first foundation of overcoming self-sabotage: knowing exactly what your reasons are. We also look at the emotional part of your brain (referred to as your elephant). Wondering if self-sabotage is a problem for you and want to get a taste of what's in the course? This episode is for you.

This is the second of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage. In this episode, we're looking at how the willpower is built and depleted, especially with regard to asking your brain to hard things (the emotional part of the brain is referred to as your elephant in this episode). Wondering if self-sabotage is a problem for you and want to get a taste of what's in the course? This episode is for you.

This is the first of a 3-part series that gives you a sneak peek into my course, Overcoming Self-Sabotage. In this episode, we're looking at how the fear behind behaviours like procrastination and perfectionism can absolutely hold you back. Wondering if self-sabotage is a problem for you and want to get a taste of what's in the course? This episode is for you.

In a world that gets evermore demanding and complex, you don't have to look far to see crises occurring near you, if they're not happening directly to you. Because life can get, well, life-y, I share with you an excerpt from my first book, Be Happy: 35 Power Methods for Personal Growth and Well-Being with tips on how to cope when it all becomes A. Lot.

There's something you have been saying you want to do for quite some time now. But you're not doing it. And it's frustrating you, but that frustration hasn't been the motivator you need to take action. In this episode, I'll show you how to figure out if it's self-sabotage that's the problem, or if the goal is jus not a great for you.

Explore the prison of perfectionism with me in this episode where I share with you an excerpt from my first book, Be Happy: 35 Power Methods for Personal Growth and Well-Being. Shackled by the hope that if you just do it perfectly then you'll be okay? This episode is for you.

Who's doing the talking in your head? Is it the parts of you that are helping you move forward, or the parts of you that are attempting to hold you back because it feels safer and more comfortable? What if you're not sure of the difference between fear, intuition, and helpful encouragement? Then this episode is for you.

It can be a struggle trying to deal with the long-term effects of trauma and I have experienced this first-hand. We can't just delete these memories, so today's episode is about my personal process for coping with some of the long-term affects of previous trauma.

This episode is all about how you can make those self-supporting habits stick and how we can overcome the self-sabotage and shameful self-talk when we hit a fork in the road and we don't end up sticking with this new habit but instead end up doing things the ‘old way'.

Following on from last episode's discussion on the counterintuitive path to happiness, let's explore the science of happiness and audit whether you have the ingredients in your life that the research encourages us to have in order to flourish and thrive.

I don't blame you if the word happiness ignites complex feelings within you that are anything but happy. The #happiness focus that we have as a society appears to be missing the mark with our individual and collective mental health. I want to show you another way to move into well-being rather than listening to the myths around being happy.

This episode is for you if you're contemplating change in your career, work, or business. Rather than avoid thinking about it, I invite you to join me in this process for figuring out if change is necessary or not, and what to do then.

This episode is dedicated to how hard you're trying. It's a prayer for you to offer yourself when times are challenging, and you may forget to give yourself credit. It's a prayer of recognition, self-kindness, gentle encouragement, from you to yourself.

6 weeks ago, I made a commitment to myself that I was going to become Indistractable. That I would take back my control over my time, rather than being a slave to the schedule. This episode explores how it's working out, and how it's changing my life.

I'm about to embark on writing my next book (eeeek!). I used to hold all the responsibility on my shoulders for coming up with ALL the ideas. Now, I embrace a little woo-woo to help me create, and I want to show you how doing so has transformed my process and offer you some reflection points to help you get started.

Extraordinary business coach Fiona Killackey takes us through her process of money mapping. Here are the steps you need to shift from your survive number to your thrive number.

The practice of embodied presence is a powerful form of mindfulness. This episode is part 2 of my chat with embodied presence expert, Nilusha Dassenaike. Today, she takes us through a mindfulness meditation that we can use in everyday life to come home to ourselves.

The practice of embodied presence is a powerful form of mindfulness. I discussed how we can bring this practice into our creativity and our everyday life with performer and embodied presence, Nilusha Dassenaike. The chat was so rich and valuable, I separated it into two episodes, the second half of which is to come next week!

This episode is an excerpt from a raw and honest chat about my mental health that I had with Dr Tim Sharp. We share what has and hasn't worked for managing our mental wellness and get real about what it means to achieve success while managing chronic mental health conditions. Content warning: discussion of suicidal thoughts.

I read Indistractable and realised just how distracted I really am. Here's how I'm decluttering my schedule and re-building it with intention.

Self-criticism loud? Inner talk belittling, shaming, and harsh? This episode is for you. I'm taking you through my 5-step process for transforming your self-talk from drill sergeant to supportive friend.

I'm back with season 2, lovely ones! In this episode, we dive into my favourite goal setting process, complete with the adjustments you can make to work towards your goals when we're surrounded by uncertainty.

In this episode I sit down with journalist and author Felicity Harley and dive into the ridiculous concept of balance for women and chat about the perspective of feminism from her book, Balance and Other B.S. 

Those of you who have followed me for awhile may know that my entire career was forced to change trajectory because of burnout. Sophie Scott, the national medical reporter for the ABC, is one of my favourite voices on burnout because she's been there, too. Listen to this episode to find out how we both moved through it to thrive again. 

I'm chatting with one of my favourite indigenous creators in this episode: Alicia Johnson. Alicia's work has been so incredibly valuable to me as I've transformed my relationship with my fat body, and we talk in depth about the intersectionality in her experience as a fat, black female in Australia. Please note that part of Alicia's work is to reclaim the word ‘fat' as simply a descriptor, without negative connotations attached to it. I intentionally use this word comfortably now, thanks to Alicia's teachings.  

In this episode, I'm chatting with the brilliant Dr Anika Molesworth about climate courage. Anika is a farmer, scientist and storyteller. She has been widely recognised for her work in agricultural and food systems and generating climate change awareness. Her awards include Young Farmer of the Year (2015) and Young Australian of the Year, New South Wales Finalist (2017). Anika is passionate about ensuring the best possible future for the planet, people and the food on our plates. 

In this episode, I'm chatting with the brilliant Ali Daddo about menopause (and my sore boobs), setting boundaries to support the creative process, and she generously coaches me on setting boundaries when developing a media profile. This episode is a must-listen because Ali Daddo is such a beautiful human with such wisdom to share. 

In this episode, I'm introducing you to my Integrator, Leanne. We're chatting about all things outsourcing and hiring and why the benefits far outweigh the financial, emotional, and time costs for creating a business of ease and flow and a life of freedom. If you're still doing all the things yourself in your business, you need to listen to this.  Link: rebeccaray.com.au/books/ 

Imposter syndrome and a national TV appearance – yep, it's happening. I might be petrified, but I'm not letting imposter syndrome derail my work … and I don't want you to either!  

This episode is devoted to those of you that are being brave when no one knows about it. It's short and sweet … the inspiration you need to keep going, even when no one sees your courage or how hard you're trying. I see you.  Link: rebeccaray.com.au/free/

Hi, lovely ones. Welcome to episode number 39. Today, I'm sharing with you an episode that features a conversation I had with someone I love dearly, an incredible woman by the name of Mish Pope. Mish is a life coach and she had a podcast called In Her Own Way. She's currently pivoting and redesigning her life as we speak. So that podcast is no longer up. But I'm lucky enough to have the audio of this phenomenal conversation that I had with her on all things courage, worthiness and hope. And I want to share with you the space that we created together. I loved this conversation so much, and I hope that you enjoy it too.

Hi lovely ones Welcome to Episode 38. I'm honoured to share with you today a conversation that I had with Nikki McCann on her podcast called The Dear Mama Project. Nikki is a matrix science educator and women's life cycle guide. The Dear Mama Project is a space that she created to help women becoming mothers have a soft landing place to explore their own transformation in this new maternal world that we find ourselves in when we have kidlets. Nikki and I spoke about worthiness and how we define our self worth when we become mothers, and self kindness and self kindness practices that we can integrate into our daily habits to be able to come back to ourselves, especially during the initial periods of motherhood. I loved this conversation, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Hi, lovely ones. Welcome to episode number 37. And in this episode, I'm so excited to share with you a conversation that I had with just one of the most remarkable women. I have the honour to call a friend, Julie Parker. I spoke with Julie on her podcast the Priestess podcast about all things courage and fear. And I spoke about my experience with anxiety and we got real about what it's like to face fear on a daily basis, even when you're out there helping other people do the same thing.
