Podcasts about journey to authenticity

If you've ever felt that tug in your chest at this time of year — the craving for warmth, quiet, softness, or a return to yourself — you're already responding to the power of Winter Solstice. Most people rush through June (or December if you're in the Northern Hemisphere) thinking it's ‘just cold', but it's not.   Winter Solstice is one of the most ancient and meaningful turning points on Earth's calendar, and if you've ever wondered why humans from every culture, in every era, stopped everything to celebrate one single night…  Well… today you'll find out.   Because Winter Solstice isn't only the darkest and most Yin day of the year — it's a powerful reset. A moment where the sun literally stops moving in the sky. A pause so profound that ancient people believed time stood still.  And that stillness?  It matters for us just as much today as it did thousands of years ago.   So if you've been feeling tired, stretched thin, or like you could use a good soul-level exhale… This episode on I Love Me The Podcast,  is your permission slip to step into the magic of Yule.   You can take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here: https://gettingnaked.com.au/2026/06/17/94-how-to-celebrate-winter-solstice-in-a-modern-world/   Resources…   Ep.3 Fill Yourself Up With Love https://gettingnaked.com.au/2024/02/21/ep-3-fill-yourself-up-with-love-your-go-to-self-love-tool/   Ep.4 Meet Your True Self.

In part one of this two-part series, we sit down with a dentist who shares her deeply personal journey of coming out as transgender and the profound impact it had on every aspect of her life. She reflects on years of struggling with her identity, navigating complex family dynamics, and facing the very real fear of losing the dental practice she worked so hard to build when she decided to transition. This episode is an honest and vulnerable look at what it means to choose authenticity in the face of uncertainty, professional risk, and personal loss. Through her story, we explore themes of resilience, courage, and what it truly means to show up as yourself—even when the stakes are high.

Every now and then, you sit down with someone and the conversation is just too powerful to keep behind closed doors. Back in 2021, I had the privilege of interviewing someone who has completely shaped the direction of my life — Matt Catling. At the time, this conversation was shared exclusively inside one of my programs, but today I'm thrilled to release it publicly for the very first time.   Matt has been a mentor, teacher, and pioneer in the field of personal development. What makes his story so inspiring is that it didn't begin with success — it began with bullying, anxiety, low confidence, and learning difficulties. Then, at just 12 years old, Matt discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and it changed everything. From struggling at school to becoming a leader in self-healing, mindset mastery, and creating a purposeful life, Matt's journey shows what's possible when we commit to transformation.   In this episode, we explore: Why commitment is the first pillar of creating change The role of self-love and self-healing in attracting healthy relationships How shifting your energy creates better outcomes than trying to control them Why your wounds hold the key to your mission How to stop emotional leakages, calm internal wars, and unlock your true genius The connection between a parent's healing and a child's self-love What it really takes to balance business, family, and purpose without burning out The shifts that allowed Matt to 10x his revenue while doing less AND practical tools, from quitting cigarettes with NLP to creating the right team around you.     Matt also shares his personal journey of struggling with romantic relationships, and how getting clear on what he truly wanted — while clearing the barriers within himself — allowed the love of his life to walk in.   This episode, on I Love Me The Podcast, is about transformation, self-discovery, and creating the life you were born to live. If you've ever wondered how to break free from old wounds, step into your purpose, and design a life filled with meaning, love, and freedom, you're going to love this timeless conversation.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/11/12/ep-78-turning-wounds-into-wisdom-matt-catling-on-healing-nlp-creating-your-dream-life/   About me…   Hi, I'm Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women's Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast.

Have you ever noticed how much energy we spend trying not to feel what we're feeling? We push. We fix. We rush. We tell ourselves, “If I can just change this one thing… then I'll be okay.” But what if true healing doesn't come from fighting life—but from finally saying yes to it?   This week on I Love Me The Podcast, we're exploring acceptance—not as resignation or defeat, but as one of the most courageous and loving acts of self-care there is.   You'll discover: What acceptance really means (it's not giving up!) How resisting reality keeps us stuck in suffering Three gentle, practical steps to move from resistance → peace Why acceptance is the doorway to transformation and freedom   When we stop resisting life, something softens. Our hearts open. Clarity returns. And suddenly, what once felt impossible begins to shift.   If you've been feeling tired, stuck, or like you're fighting against what is—this episode will feel like an exhale.   Take a peek at the full episode show notes (and resources I refer to in the show) here:   https://gettingnaked.com.au/2025/10/22/ep-75-acceptance-the-first-step-in-healing/   About me…   Hi, I'm Tamra Mercieca, a Self-Love Therapist, Women's Pelvic Health Guide, and host of I Love Me The Podcast.

What happens when we finally stop hiding and embrace our authentic selves? For Margie Schaller, living with secret sobriety for 18.5 years came at a significant personal cost—until one transformative moment changed everything. Margie's journey begins with childhood curiosity about her mother's ever-present glass of scotch and water, evolves through becoming the "chug champ" of her sorority, and reaches a critical turning point after a horrific car accident. Despite having a rod surgically placed in her leg following the crash, Margie returned to drinking as soon as physically possible. It wasn't until a family intervention months later that her recovery journey truly began.But getting sober was just the first step. As a professional whose job literally required "wining and dining" potential speakers, Margie found herself white-knuckling through business dinners, passing the wine list to others, and crafting excuses for why she wasn't drinking. When she briefly mentioned her sobriety during a professional talk ten years into her recovery, influential colleagues warned her not to "talk about that sober thing"—reinforcing her decision to keep this essential part of herself hidden.The conversation takes a powerful turn when Margie describes the moment everything changed. At a women's conference 18.5 years into her sobriety, when asked how many didn't drink "for whatever reason," Margie slowly raised her hand alongside 15% of the room—women she knew professionally but had never realized shared this experience. This revelation led to co-founding Sober Life Rocks, creating spaces for professionals navigating alcohol-centric business environments while sober.Shelby and Margie explore the evolution of recovery culture, the blessings of discomfort as a reminder of who we truly are, and the profound transformation that comes with authenticity. As Margie beautifully describes the sensation of finally living her truth: "I literally feel like my cells have rearranged themselves."Ready to explore what authentic living might mean for you?

Today, I'm chatting with Nicole Vito who lives in California with her husband and 6-year-old daughter. Nicole describes how she began to question how we rush children when her daughter was just two, realising that everything that needed to happen did happen when her daughter was ready and allowed to go at her own pace. In her professional work as a psychologist, Nicole was also noticing how many of her clients who suffered from depression or anxiety seemed to have lost their connection to themselves, with them often pinpointing to a time in their childhood. We talk about how unschooling can help our children stay authentic to themselves and often lead us back ourselves too. I hope you enjoy the conversation.Connect with Nicolehttp://drnicolevitoclinicalpsychologist.com/https://www.drnicolevitoclinicalpsychologist.comInstagram @selfdirectedmamaYou can find my blog, workshops and courses at:www.esther-jones.comOr, connect with me onInstagram: @_esther.jonesFacebook:@theunschoolspace

My student, Noura, is an immigrant and a mom of 3 (including a newborn), who had really big aspirations.   She's a registered dietician, works clinically with patients, and also started her own business using her dietician skills to help more people.   She has an innate drive to learn and continually improve, which is what brought her to my program, The Journey.   She was struggling with procrastination which would lead to her never finishing her clinical notes on time, but would also get in the way of the success in her business.   Her imposter syndrome was also eating her up inside and she hated knowing how this was limiting her potential.   So Noura joined The Journey. After just a few coaching calls she started noticing big changes. She was finishing her charting at work and coming home on time, with enough energy to spend time with her kids. Her parenting had transformed. She was now more present with her kids (including her newborn). And, she made big changes in her business that helped her connect and help her clients at a deeper level.   Noura is now living a life of intention and purpose. On this week's podcast episode, Noura shares how she, as a mom of three struggling with procrastination and imposter syndrome, created the life and business of her dreams.   Links:  Connect with me on: IG and FB.  Watch my free class and learn how to get more done in a day without stress and burnout.  Get your free copy of the Podcast Study Guide.

In this episode, Adam Hill sits down with Ian Lobas, a renowned men's personal development and relationship coach, to discuss Ian's powerful journey of personal transformation. After receiving an ultimatum from his wife to change or lose her forever, Ian embarked on a deep dive of self-reflection and growth that led him to discover his true purpose.  In this conversation, Ian shares candidly about confronting his deepest fears and insecurities, the mentors who helped shift his mindset, and how becoming his most authentic self saved his marriage and helped thousands of men worldwide. Ian also offers valuable insights on cultivating vulnerability, authenticity and irreplaceability in relationships. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: How to rise above imposter syndrome How to become the irreplaceable you Uncovering the fuel source and building a strong foundation Embracing change and owning your results The power of breathwork Understanding masculinity Episode Highlights: [05:17] How to Rise Above Imposter Syndrome To rise above imposter syndrome, focus on documenting evidence of your accomplishments and skills over time rather than emotional doubts, commit to continuous self-improvement through action so new habits prove your competence, and replace negative self-talk with positive self-affirmations based on objective facts about your character and contributions. [09:12] How to Become an Irreplaceable Man To become an irreplaceable man, you must do deep inner work to uncover the root causes holding you back. Examine your relationship with money, ego, and other factors defining your sense of worth or value as a man. Make becoming your most authentic self the priority through vulnerability and honesty about areas for growth. Commit to being decisive in your relationships by prioritizing your partner and family's emotional needs over other distractions. Do consistent self-reflection through journaling or other practices to maintain awareness of how you can better show up for your loved ones each day. Hold yourself accountable to positive change through measurable goals and track your progress over time so you can prove your commitment with confidence and peace of mind. [12:08] Uncovering the Fuel Source and Building a Strong Foundation In order to make lasting changes, it's crucial to identify the fuel source behind our insecurities. It can stem from various factors such as feelings of inadequacy, fear of rejection, or external expectations placed upon us. It's important to take a step back and assess what we're truly trying to tackle. Rather than blindly pursuing multiple coaches, masterminds, and seminars, we need to start at the foundation – addressing our traumas, childhood conditioning, and past experiences that have shaped us. By digging deep and confronting these issues, we can build a solid foundation for personal growth and transformation. [32:44] Embrace Change and Own Your Results In life, it's not about being different, but rather about shedding the things that no longer serve us, that don't work, or aren't relevant anymore. If you find yourself not achieving the results you desire, it's time to take ownership – it's 100% on you. You need to change your approach, because there's a formula for everything. Just like one plus one equals two, you can't pretend it's four or that it's Wednesday, so maybe it's three. It is what it is. Embrace change, adjust your formula, and take control of the results you create.
