Welcome back to The Re-Mind Podcast with Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton — where we explore the intersections of nervous system regulation, emotional intelligence, healing, and spiritual growth.In this heart-opening episode, we explore a theme that many of us feel, but rarely unpack with clarity:

Welcome back to the Re-Mind Podcast — where real conversations meet nervous system healing and human truth.In this episode, David and Dr Ashleigh go deeper into the root causes of burnout. Beyond bubble baths and weekend getaways, this is about the systemic, emotional, and energetic layers that keep us cycling through survival.They explore:

In this honest and deeply resonant episode, David and Dr. Ashleigh unpack a cultural epidemic that's quietly shaping our nervous systems, our identities, and our worth — the worship of productivity.When did being busy become a badge of honour? Why do so many of us only feel worthy when we're achieving something? And what happens when we stop?Ashleigh opens up about being triggered by her own burnout course (yes, really), while David reflects on how school, parenting, and corporate life all feed into the same story: that doing is more important than being.Together, they explore the roots of hustle culture, how overachievement gets rewarded from childhood, and the hidden costs of living in survival mode. You'll hear stories about education, parenting, healing, and the kind of “pit stops” we often only take once it's too late.This episode is an invitation to pause, breathe, and ask: Who taught me that I have to earn my worth?It's time to reclaim rest, rewrite our internal narratives, and begin healing the performance-based wiring that so many of us carry.Other discussed episodes:Eps 24 - Were you a good kid?

In this heartfelt and expansive final episode of the Universal Laws series, David and Dr. Ashleigh explore two of the most profound laws — the Law of Relativity and the Law of Divine Oneness.First, they unpack relativity: how comparison can distort truth, why our emotional experiences are valid even if others “have it worse”, and how embracing the uniqueness of your journey brings clarity, compassion, and peace. Through real-life parenting moments and personal reflections, they show how this law is often misunderstood — and how healing can deepen when we stop measuring our worth against someone else's chapter.Then the conversation expands into divine oneness — a concept that can feel abstract or elusive but holds the energetic glue behind all the other laws. Ash shares how this law is often distorted into spiritual enmeshment, and David vulnerably opens up about how this has been one of the most challenging laws for him to fully grasp. Together, they explore how true oneness doesn't mean losing your boundaries — it means healing yourself because it heals others.Whether you're early on your path or deep in your journey, this episode offers a powerful reminder: we're not alone, and every ripple of healing matters.Journey of souls by Michael Newton https://www.amazon.com.au/JOURNEY-SOULS-Studies-Between-Lives/dp/1567184855

In this rich and resonant episode, David and Dr. Ashleigh return for part three (okay, maybe part four or five… we've lost count) of their series exploring Universal Laws — and this time, it's all about rhythm, energy, and the deeper meaning of reward.They dive into the Law of Rhythm, reflecting on how life flows in seasons and cycles — from the highs of connection and passion to the lows of burnout or disconnection. You'll hear real-life stories about relationships, parenting, business, and healing, all threaded through the essential truth that everything moves — nothing stays the same.Next, they explore the Law of Perpetual Transmutation of Energy, uncovering how higher vibrational thoughts and actions can transform lower ones. Whether it's parenting with compassion, processing trauma, or learning to sit with discomfort rather than bypass it — this law holds profound healing power.Finally, the conversation turns to the Law of Compensation — and it's not what hustle culture taught us. David and Ashleigh unpack what it means to be rewarded in proportion to the value you offer, and how redefining "value" and "reward" on a soul level changes everything.From platelet donations to parenting breakthroughs, from surrendering the fight to finding freedom through truth — this episode is full of insight, reflection, and love.

In this enlightening continuation of our Universal Laws series, David and Dr. Ashleigh dive deep into one of the most challenging (and often misunderstood) principles — the Law of Polarity.Through relatable stories, practical wisdom, and a few laughs along the way, they explore why experiencing contrast is essential for growth and clarity. From navigating masculine and feminine energies to the importance of allowing children (and ourselves) to experience both light and shadow, this conversation brings to life the powerful role of polarity in our personal journeys.David and Ashleigh also touch on toxic positivity, the importance of shadow work, and how embracing both sides of experience can lead to deeper resilience, wisdom, and emotional growth. Whether you're a parent, a seeker, or simply curious about how these universal laws shape our lives, this episode offers valuable insights you won't want to miss.✨ Spoiler alert: What was meant to be a quick chat about several laws became an entire deep-dive into just one — and it's probably the one most of us wrestle with the most!

In this final episode of our 5-part series on understanding survival responses, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton explore the Fawn Response, a learned behaviour often rooted in people-pleasing and conflict avoidance. Unlike the reflexive fight, flight, or freeze responses, fawning is a deeply ingrained behaviour many of us adopt to feel safe and accepted, even when it means sacrificing our true selves.

In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, Dr. Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton dive into the often-overlooked freeze response, the part of our nervous system that leads us to shut down, numb out, and mentally ‘check out' when life feels overwhelming. Dr. Ashleigh explains how freeze can manifest as feelings of detachment, brain fog, and even dissociation—and why this survival mechanism, though protective, often leaves us feeling trapped and unable to move forward. Through real-life examples and relatable metaphors, they explore how freeze differs from other responses like fight and flight, what it looks like in daily life, and why it's closely linked with symptoms of depression. Dr. Ashleigh also shares practical strategies to ‘defrost' and reawaken, from gentle movement and grounding exercises to understanding what our nervous system is trying to communicate.

In this episode, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and co-host David Masterton dive into the nuances of the flight response, often misunderstood as simply ‘running away' from stress. But did you know that flight mode can also show up as chronic overthinking, staying endlessly busy, and even mentally checking out? Many of us unknowingly spend a lot of our lives in this state, distracted and disconnected to avoid perceived threats or deep-rooted anxieties. Dr Ash and David explore the hidden ways the flight response can impact our daily lives, from constantly overloading our schedules to compulsively keeping our minds active. They discuss the nervous system's role in fuelling these behaviours and explain why the mind's need to escape doesn't always mean physically fleeing – sometimes, it's simply the inability to be fully present. You'll learn to identify subtle signs of flight, understand how it can show up in your relationships and work, and discover healing strategies that go beyond mere ‘coping' to real integration and inner calm.

In this episode of the Re-MIND Podcast, hosts David Masterton and Dr. Ashleigh Moreland dive into the transformative role of emotional intelligence in leadership. Often, leaders are held back not by their technical skills but by unprocessed emotions such as shame, fear, and anger. These hidden emotional triggers can subtly sabotage decision-making, team dynamics, and overall business growth. Dr. Ashleigh explains how understanding and addressing these emotional roadblocks can lead to healthier leadership and stronger, more connected teams. From people-pleasing tendencies rooted in shame to authoritarian styles driven by fear, we explore how these behaviours manifest in leadership and what happens when they are healed. We also discuss the vibrational frequency of emotions - from low-frequency emotions like shame and fear to high-frequency states of love and enlightenment - and how they impact leadership. Discover the key to leading with empathy, emotional intelligence, and a long-term vision that inspires people to follow, not out of fear or compliance, but out of trust and respect.
