Full Episode Transcript

Have you ever had that feeling—like you’re on the edge of discovering something big? Like there’s a truth sitting just outside your grasp, waiting to be uncovered?

I’ve always been drawn to that feeling.

As a little girl, I wanted to be a scientist. Not a doctor, not a lawyer, not an artist—a scientist.

I was fascinated by the idea that the world is full of mysteries just waiting to be solved.

One of my favourite books growing up was The Value of Believing in Yourself, a story about Louis Pasteur, the scientist who discovered germ theory. At the time, people thought he was crazy. The idea that invisible organisms could make people sick was ridiculous to them.

He was mocked.

Ridiculed.

But he knew—he knew there was something there, even though no one could see it yet. And he knew that if he discovered it, he could help people all over the world.

I read this story over and over again and it stuck with me for years, not just because of the lesson about perseverance, but because it showed me that science is about curiosity and discovery. 

Just because something hasn’t been proven yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

Another favourite book of mine from that series was The Value of Learning, a book about Marie Curie, another scientist who defied expectations and changed the world. She wasn’t afraid to explore the unknown, and despite the challenges she faced, she kept going.

Looking back, it makes perfect sense that I eventually studied science at university. I majored in mathematics with minors in psychology and physiology, and even took a subject in astrophysics—which was very cool.

For as long as I can remember, curiosity and learning have shaped my life. I’ve always believed that if we just stay open-minded, if we just keep asking questions, we can unlock things we never even imagined.

The Power of the Subconscious

My curiosity has always been my greatest teacher. My love for science and discovery gave me a foundation in how the mind and body work together. But what fascinated me the most was the subconscious mind—this powerful, unseen force shaping our thoughts, behaviours, and even our physical experiences.

So when I became pregnant, I did what I always do when faced with the unknown—I researched.

I was terrified of labour pain. I had heard all the horror stories, seen the dramatic portrayals in movies, and absorbed the cultural conditioning that birth was meant to be excruciating. But I also knew that fear itself had a profound effect on the body. If fear could trigger a fight-or-flight response, make muscles tighten, and even slow down digestion, then surely it could impact childbirth too.

That’s when I came across hypnosis—the idea that through subconscious reprogramming, I could have a completely different birth experience.

I started listening to hypnosis tracks daily, practicing deep relaxation and visualisation techniques. I trained my subconscious to believe that labor didn’t have to be a fight—it could be something I worked with.

And then, when the time came?

It worked.

For my first child and then 19 months later for my second. Both of my births were relatively quick and completely drug-free. No screaming. No panic. Just my body doing what it already knew how to do. It certainly changed my husband’s views on it all. He couldn’t believe it. He was expecting me to turn into a screaming mess like all the stories he’d heard too.

That experience left a huge impact on me. Obviously the birth of my children is a big event, but being able to make the experience easier through just working with my subconscious was amazing.

It proved beyond a doubt to me that:

• The subconscious mind holds far more power than we realise.

• Our body knows what is right for us, and it’s often our mind getting in the way of how we are naturally meant to work

• If we can reprogram our subconscious, we can allow our natural way of being to shine through.

It made me wonder:

What else can the subsconscious do?

That’s what led me to energetics and quantum physics. So, yes I’m going to go all science on you now.

Quantum Physics & The Energetic Nature of Reality

I find quantum physics fascinating. Basically, on a very simplified level, it shows us that everything is energy.

The chair you’re sitting on? Made of vibrating atoms.

The phone or computer you’re using? Made of vibrating atoms.

You? Also made of vibrating atoms.

Everything—literally everything—exists first as energy before it takes physical form.

And here’s where it gets interesting.

The Observer Effect

There’s something in quantum mechanics called the Observer Effect. Scientists discovered that the very act of observing a particle changes its behaviour.

Just watching something—just placing attention on it—alters the outcome.

This means that your focus, your attention, your energy—these things literally shape reality.

Quantum Entanglement

Ever heard of quantum entanglement? It’s the idea that two particles, even if separated by vast distances, are still connected—meaning that what happens to one instantly affects the other.

This means distance doesn’t matter when it comes to energy.

So when people say things like, “Your thoughts create your reality” or “You attract what you focus on”—this isn’t just some New Age idea. It’s science.

Einstein & The Science of Energy

Even Albert Einstein—one of the most celebrated scientific genius’ of all time—knew this to be true. He once said:

"Everything is energy and that's all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics."

And when it comes to health and healing, Einstein predicted that the future of medicine would be centred around energy:

"The future of medicine will be the medicine of frequencies."

Think about that.

He understood, even back then, that the key to transformation—whether in health, success, or fulfilment—is energy.

And now, we are finally seeing modern science begin to catch up to what ancient wisdom has always known.

The Breakdown of Old Models & The Rise of a New Paradigm

Right now, we’re living through a time of massive change.

The old systems—in leadership, health, education, business, and even science—are starting to crack.

For centuries, we’ve been taught to follow mechanistic models—where everything is seen as linear, logical, and predictable. But the world doesn’t work like that.

The Newtonian model of reality (which dominated science for hundreds of years) told us that:

• The world is a machine—a collection of separate, independent parts.

• To create change, you have to apply force.

• The best way to control an outcome is through prediction and measurement.

But now, quantum physics is shattering those ideas.

The universe is not mechanical—it’s interconnected, dynamic, and energetic.

And this applies not just to science, but to leadership, business, relationships, and personal growth.

💡 The old model says: “Work harder. Push more. Control everything.”

💡 The new model says: “Align your energy. Move with the flow. Trust.”

The leaders, entrepreneurs, and innovators of the future aren’t going to be the ones working harder—they’re going to be the ones working energetically smarter.

👉 They understand resonance—that what you put out, you attract.

👉 They understand coherence—that your energy dictates your results.

👉 They understand alignment—that when you follow what’s meant for you, success is inevitable.

We are shifting from a force-based world to an energy-based world.

The people who understand this? They are going to be ahead of the curve.

And if you are listening to this, then I hope that’s going to be you.

The Role of the Heart’s Electromagnetic Field

Science is also showing us that our bodies are energetic fields.

The HeartMath Institute has been studying the heart’s electromagnetic field for years. And they’ve discovered that:

❤️ The heart emits an electromagnetic field that extends up to 3 meters around you.

❤️ That field changes depending on your emotional state.

❤️ When you’re in a state of coherence (gratitude, love, peace)—your energy expands.

❤️ When you’re in stress, fear, or frustration—your energy contracts.

Even more fascinating?

💡 When two people are near each other, their heart fields sync up.

💡 You are literally influencing the energy of those around you—without saying a word.

So when we talk about leadership, relationships, or business success—this isn’t just about mindset or strategy. It’s about your energy and the field you’re emitting.

And this is why:

• Some leaders walk into a room and immediately command attention.

• Some people feel “magnetic” even if they don’t say much.

• You can sense when someone is authentic vs. when they’re forcing it.

Your energy does the talking before you even open your mouth.

Which means?

If you want to be a powerful, impactful leader—you need to work on your energetic alignment.

The Science Behind “Gut Feelings” (Why Intuition is Real)

For years, intuition has been dismissed as woo-woo—but science is proving otherwise.

• The gut has over 100 million neurons—essentially making it a second brain.

• The heart has its own neural network, which sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart.

• Studies show that intuitive decisions often outperform logical ones—because the subconscious picks up patterns and information faster than conscious reasoning.

In other words—your gut, your instincts, and your feelings are all data points.

We’ve just been conditioned to ignore them.

But the world’s greatest innovators, creators, and leaders trust their inner knowing before they have all the evidence.

💡 Steve Jobs talked about “following his intuition” as the key to Apple’s success.

💡 Warren Buffett makes investments based on an instinctive “feel” for a company’s future.

💡 The best athletes “feel the play” before it happens.

The difference between someone who thrives and someone who struggles?

One trusts their internal guidance, the other only relies on logic and external data.

This is why understanding your own Design is an absolute game-changer.

The Key to health, wealth and fulfilment

A few years ago, I was feeling restless—like I was meant to be doing something more.

Like, when I leave this world, what was my legacy going to be? I’m sure many of you that have hit the age of 40 have had similar feelings. It seems to rear it’s head around this age.

Anyway, I went searching.

I even qualified as a life purpose practitioner, hoping it would give me the clarity I was looking for.

But while it gave me some insight, it still didn’t quite resonate. I still felt like it was very surface level.

Then one day, while diving deeper into my research, I stumbled across something called Human Design.

And the moment I started learning about my own personal design, it was like someone had turned on a bright, neon spotlight on who I really was.

For the first time ever, I felt seen.

It felt like permission—permission to be exactly who I was without trying to fit into a box that wasn’t meant for me.

And that’s when everything started to make sense.

Because like we’ve been talking about, it all comes back to energy.

Human Design isn’t just some random personality system that is determined on your mood in the moment or how you think you should be—it’s based on your individual energetic makeup.

For me, learning my design completely changed the way I approached leadership, decision-making, and energy management.

It explained why I felt so restless, why I always had so much energy for certain things but burned out in others, and why forcing myself into traditional leadership models never felt right.

And that’s the power of understanding your energy.

Bringing This Back to Human Design & Energy Alignment

Human Design is a tool that maps out your energy and shows you how you operate best.

For me, discovering my Human Design was the missing piece.

Because, it wasn’t about changing myself—it was about finally understanding how I was meant to operate.

And that’s what I want for you.

Because when you work with your natural energy instead of against it—everything shifts.

🌀 Decisions become easier.

🌀 Leadership feels more effortless.

🌀 Success flows instead of feeling forced.

Human Design is about freedom.

It’s about giving yourself permission to be who you already are.

The Invitation to Explore Human Design

It’s not about labelling yourself, boxing yourself in, or following another set of rigid rules.

It’s about exploration.

It’s about discovery. It’s about being open to new possibilities and new ways of living—ones that feel natural, aligned, and actually work with who you are.

Yes, it’s different. Yes, it might feel a little out there. And no, it may not be your cup of tea right now.

But here’s what I know for sure—those who give it a real go reap the rewards.

It’s worked for me and millions of others who have had the curiosity to learn more about themselves, and ultimately others. How we are all beautifully unique.

And it’s why I now use it as a core part of my leadership work.

I created my business, Fresh Collective, to push boundaries, to challenge old leadership models, and to bring in new, exciting, and more sustainable ways to lead.

This is the first big idea I’m bringing to you. And I dare you to try it. It could be your missing piece as well.

Are You Ready to Lead Differently?

We are at the beginning of a massive shift—where energy, intuition, and alignment are becoming the new success model.

Those who understand this will be ahead of the curve.

So, my question for you is:

• Are you going to keep forcing yourself to fit into outdated leadership models?

• Or are you ready to step into leadership in a way that feels natural, aligned, and powerful?
