What if the real secret to healing wasn’t in your mind, but in your frequency?
This week, I sit down with Ange Monitto, sound healer and founder of Sound of Soma, to talk about how sound and vibration can rewire the body, regulate the nervous system, and bring us back into harmony, literally.
We go deep into the science and soul of frequency healing, from how sound travels through your energy field to the wild truth about how Wi-Fi, heavy metals, and even your daily stressors mess with your vibration. Ange breaks down the energetic anatomy of healing (your aura, chakras, and subconscious field included), and how intention turns sound into medicine.
We also explore his own healing journey, from chronic illness and medical dead ends to finding peace, purpose, and the tools to help others rise out of survival mode.
If you’ve ever felt the shift from chaos to calm in a sound bath or sensed that there’s more to energy than meets the eye, this episode will hit different. It’s grounding, expansive, and proof that you can’t think your way out of stress, you have to feel your way back into alignment.
Sending you my love, Claire xx

Today we sit down with studio owner, mentor, and all-round elite human Shahnae Cutajar the queen behind Grind Pilates Co.
We go there: From injury and redirection to a lockdown garage-turned-studio, family-built fit-outs (hi Dad!), the mother daughter partnership that powers it all, and the unseen grind behind launching two Melbourne studios, Shahnae’s story is pure determination in motion.
She also opens up about using mood as a business strategy (think gritty not pretty pilates), inviting more men into the Pilates space, mentoring the next wave of instructors, and why passion will always outweigh payday.
If you’ve been craving proof that discipline can feel like devotion this one will light a fire under your glutes. Press play, my angels and enjoy. 💫

Sound isn’t just something we hear, it’s a nutrient the body drinks.
Today I’m joined by the ever-glowing Tanya Ali-jani (aka Melbourne’s Sound Healing Queen) for a conversation that’s equal parts science, soul, and straight talk.
We go there, from childhood conditioning and losing our essence, to remembering who we are through resonance, breath, and prayer. Tanya opens up about a life-altering meditation experience (think spontaneous Kundalini-style awakening), the difference between sound journeys and true sound healing, and why facilitator integrity and energetic hygiene matter more than the instruments themselves.
We geek out on entrainment and resonance (how sound shifts brainwaves and tunes the nervous system from fight-or-flight into deep rest), unpack “luck” vs. magnetism, and talk about becoming a clear vessel, not a performer in service to the room.
If you’ve been craving calm, clarity, or a permission slip to choose the life that costs you your old one… this one’s church. ✨🤎
Hit follow, share with a friend who needs a deep exhale, and check the show notes for Tanya’s classes and Riise membership.

I’m just going to say it, manifestation is confusing AF.
When in reality, it’s simply design and renovation dressed up in woo-woo packaging. In this episode I'm putting my interior designer hat on to flip the script on the woo woo to reveal the most grounded, practical way to call in what you want: the Design Phase (vision, mood, feeling) and the Renovation Phase (demolition, boundaries, habits, courage).
No more wishing on a star and waiting. This is how you build a life you want, brick by intentional brick.
You’ll hear:
💭 Why manifestation feels confusing (and how to make it crystal clear)
💥 The exact moment we all hit the “WTF have I done?!” panic button and how to move through it
🌙 How to “naively dream” again without clipping your own wings
🧭 The question that unlocks momentum faster than “What do you want?”
🌱 Why progress is slow at first… until it happens all at once
If the word manifestation has ever left you confused or rolling your eyes but you know you’re ready for a life that actually feels good, this episode is the reframe you've been waiting for.
It’s honest. It’s doable. It’s the permission slip to start your own life reno. 🛠️✨
Press play and step into the role of designer of your life.
With love Claire xx

Hi my loves, today’s episode is a cosmic compass home to yourself. ✨
I’m joined by the luminous Brooke Fitzgerald @guidedbybrooke a psychic astrologer, tarot reader and all-round spiritual girlie. We explore how to use astrology as a map to tell you what your soul came here to do, what it really means to work with guides and ancestors, and what October energy has in store for us.
Inside, we chat:
• Sun, Moon & Rising 101 — the clearest breakdown you’ll hear (and why your rising isn’t a “mask”)
• How Brooke connects with spirits — from ancestral conversations at the table to the physical “tells” she experiences, plus her go-to rituals for cleansing and protection
• October energy — Libra season’s flirty, social fun meeting Mars-in-Scorpio’s spicy, deep soul bonds depth (aka: get ready for connections that go beyond the surface)
• Planetary days routine — aligning your week with each planet’s energy, from Moon-day’s reflection to Sunday’s reset in nature
If you’ve been craving confirmation that you’re on the right path, this is for you, with a little cosmic spice sprinkled in. 💫

Hi my loves, today’s episode is a warm hug for your hormones, gut, skin and sanity ✨
I’m joined by my darling friend Tyra McNeill — a magnetic, straight-talking holistic health coach who works 1:1 with women using real testing (bloods, stool, breath… the works) to build simple, sustainable protocols that actually make you feel good again. We unpack the messy middle no one posts about: coming off the pill, bloating and breakouts, the “all-or-nothing” trap, stress you can’t see (hello environment + lifestyle), and why being “consistently good beats occasionally perfect.”
Inside, we chat:
The tiny habit that resets your hormones daily (yes, it’s free and takes 2 minutes)
Low-tox living without the overwhelm (what to ditch first, and why “fragrance” is a red flag)
Sun, sea and haplotypes , how your lineage can influence where your body thrives (yes my jaw was on the floor with this one too!)
Quitting the hamster wheel: Tyra’s leap from burnout to better health (and more joy)
If you’ve been feeling a little “off” but can’t name why, this convo is a step in the right direction, with a sprinkling of doable positive shifts thrown in for good measure. 💫

We’re shaking off winter’s heaviness and stepping into the fresh, expansive energy of spring. In this episode, clairvoyant artist and mentor Sarah-Jayne Kerr returns to the podcast to share her wisdom on aligning with the new season and what Virgo season has to teach us about clarity, balance, and renewal. 🌸
Together, we dive into:
How Virgo season helps us spring-clean not just our homes, but our minds, routines, and energy
Loosening the grip on perfectionism
A beautiful reminder that we have free will to play and co-create a life we love
A powerful 3-card clairvoyant collective reading with guidance on what to release, embrace, and call in this season
This conversation is equal parts practical and magical, blending seasonal rituals, spiritual insights, and real talk about perfectionism, control, and learning to let go.
If you’ve been feeling stagnant, stuck in old stories, or ready for a fresh start, this episode will remind you that your inner and outer worlds are mirrors… and it’s time to create space for what’s ready to bloom.

Here’s the truth, most people go on retreat, feel incredible for a week… and then let the magic fade the second they get home. I’m not okay with that!
So, whether you’ve been on countless retreats, are dreaming of your first, or just need a fresh retreat moment in your everyday, these lessons will help you retreat yourself, no passport required.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 6 retreat lessons that have completely changed how I live, work, and show up for myself, and how you can start using them today.
I discuss:
-Why setting a sacred vibe can shift your whole day 🌸
-How slowing down can actually make you more magnetic ✨
-Why your nervous system runs the show (and how to regulate it)🧘♀️
-The surprising truth about connection that changes everything 🤝
-How following your joy opens doors you didn’t know existed 🎉
-The key to clarity when you feel stuck or directionless 🌿
If you’ve been feeling stuck, restless, or disconnected from your spark, these are the exact tools I use to get clarity fast, feel more like me, and keep that retreat feeling alive long after the suitcases are unpacked.
The life you want gets a whole lot clearer once you reconnect and retreat yourself. ✨

Ever felt that low-key ache that whispers, “There’s gotta be more than this?”
Same. In this solo episode, I’m diving into that feeling what I call the “meant for more” feeling and the quiet ways it shows up when we’re disconnected, burnt out, or just going through the motions.
After speaking to so many of you about our upcoming retreats, I noticed a common thread: we’re craving clarity, direction, and a deeper connection to ourselves. So let’s unpack that. I’m sharing what’s helped me get out of the fog (think: breathwork, boundaries, best-case-scenario journaling) and why I believe clarity is just a byproduct of reconnection.
✨ In this episode, we talk about:
This is your reminder: you’re not alone, and the magic starts with tuning back into you.
I’m still trying to wrap words around the most transformative month of my life, hosting my very first Bali retreat.
(Yes, I’m still losing my mind every time I say that out loud!!)
I thought I’d planned everything, down to the snacks and incense, but what I didn’t account for was how deeply this experience would change ME!
The Claire who came home, was not the same Claire who left. And honestly? That’s the magic I’m here to share with you.
This episode is a heart-to-heart behind the scenes of what really went down in Bali, from the energetic identity shift it took to get there, to the moment I realised: ohhhh… this is why I’m doing this.
✨ Inside this ep, I chat about:
🎧 Press play if you’ve ever waited to feel “ready,” questioned whether you’re the type of person who … (insert scary thing here), or just need a little nudge to leap. Because five days, really can change your life.

What if the most magnetic thing about you... is the part you’ve been hiding?
Today's convo is about the quiet ways we edit ourselves to be more palatable, more polished, more liked. And what happens when we decide to stop.
I’m talking about the masks we wear, the pressure to present a “better” version of ourselves, and why the word authenticity can feel confronting — especially when you’ve lost touch with who you really are.
This is for anyone who’s ever felt misaligned, disconnected from their truth, or unsure of who they are without the roles they play. It’s a love letter to the unfiltered you (and me). The you before the world told you to tone it down.
Inside this ep, I share:
🐶 What my dog Frankie and Heath Ledger taught me about showing up
💭 The moment I realised I was still editing myself — even in my own podcast
🎭 How performing different “versions” of myself left me feeling empty
⚡ And why being 100% YOU is your greatest superpower
This is a neon sign, a gentle pep talk for both you and me to stop shapeshifting and start taking up space — exactly as you are.
This is the video I talk about where Director Gil Junger first meets Heath Ledger, well worth a watch

This one’s for anyone who finds comfort in control — in planning, in holding on tightly, in doing — yet feels quietly called to the mystery, to the flow, to the synchronicities that can only land when we loosen our grip. (Cough, cough, I'm describing past me!)
After years of running on structure and to-do lists, I’ve learned that holding on too tightly blocks the very miracles we’re craving. Whether it’s calling in aligned opportunities, manifesting your ideal life, or simply allowing rest… this episode is your permission slip to loosen you grip, as I do mine!
✨ I talk about:
• The power of leaving space in your calendar, mind, and energy field
• Masculine vs. feminine energy (and how they play into planning vs. flow)
• A behind-the-scenes look at how I’m creating space for my manifestations to land
• How letting go of a job opened the door to something far more aligned
• Why retreating — literally and energetically — changes everything
🎧 Press play, loosen your grip and let this be your gentle reminder, that you don’t need to plan it all, because the magic lives in the spaces in between!

In this soul-stretching and wildly magical episode, I sit down with clairvoyant, artist, tarot reader, and all-round delicious human Sarah-Jayne Kerr for a high-vibe conversation about intuition, energy and reclaiming your spiritual power.
We dive deep into the unseen world — from decoding the Claire senses (ever heard of clairgustance?!) to the meanings your tattoos hold and the signs and symbols the universe plants along the way. SJ shares how she experiences the world as a psychic, how her gifts have evolved over time and why your body is the most powerful oracle you’ll ever know.
This conversation is a full-body YES for anyone craving a deeper connection to self. SJ offers powerful insights on kundalini awakenings, shadow integration, and what it really means to live a soul-led life. Plus, a spontaneous live tattoo reading that will blow your mind!
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re psychic (spoiler: you are), or you’re curious about how to tune in, trust your inner voice, and awaken your gifts — this episode is for you.
✨ We talk about:
What clairvoyance actually is (and how you might already be tapping into it)
How to tell if it’s your soul, ego, or inner child speaking
The energetic imprint of tattoos (and yes, she does a live tattoo reading!)
Why your intuition is ancient wisdom ready to be remembered
How signs and synchronicities show up when you’re on the right path
If you’ve been second-guessing yourself, feeling disconnected from your truth, or craving a deeper relationship with your intuition — this episode is your permission slip to come back home to you.
🎧 Press play, let your intuition lean in, and remember: the magic was always within you.

@themoodmaker.podcast and @amillastudio I can't wait to hear from you xx
In this solo ep, I’m diving headfirst into a conversation that’s been bubbling beneath the surface for months... a conversation about joy.
The kind of joy that doesn’t need to be earned through suffering, proven through trauma, or validated by a rock-bottom story.
After years of unconsciously dimming my light to fit in, I’ve had a soul-shaking realisation: I am not broken, and I don’t need to heal to deserve my joy. If you’ve ever felt like your happiness isn’t valid because you haven’t walked through fire to get it, this episode is for you and your invitation to let that belief go!
This episode is a call to shift the goalposts away from your healing era and a heartfelt invitation to live from your joy era.
✨ I talk about:
• The myth that we have to hit rock bottom to “deserve” joy
• Why owning your joy can feel confronting — for you and others
• What a “joy list” is (and why you need one)
• How joy connects us to the feeling of home
🎧 Press play, soften into it, and let this be your gentle reminder: you are allowed to feel good — really bloody good.

In this powerful and raw conversation, I sit down with somatic healer, retreat host and breathwork queen (just some of her many talents) Alice Redmond for a soul-stirring chat about energy, emotion and embracing every part of our human experience.
We dive into the magic and medicine that lives in the messy middle — from the power of rage rituals and letting yourself be a hot mess 🔥, to the energetic shifts that happen when you truly choose yourself. Alice shares how she’s navigated her own "magic dark" moments, how energy work has changed her life (and mine), and why being fully present with the truth of the moment is the most radical thing we can do.
If you’ve been feeling a little off, this episode is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: you’re not alone, your feelings are valid, and your power lives in your authenticity.
✨ We talk about:
What energy actually is — and how to move through stuckness
Rage rituals and why they’re especially powerful for women
The myth of the “good girl” and embracing your full spectrum
How somatic healing creates real transformation
Whether you're in your flow or feeling a little lost, this one’s for you.
🎧 Press play, breathe deep and let yourself be reminded of your power.

Welcome to Step 2 of designing your dream life for 2025! Today, we’re diving into a question that can feel overwhelming: What do you truly want? If your answer is “I’m not sure,” you're in the right place.

But what if you could break free and design a life that feels aligned, intentional, and completely yours? That’s exactly what we’re doing here—leaving behind traditional goal-setting and new years resolutions as we enter 2025 and instead stepping into the role of designer of our lives.

I can’t believe we’re already in November, with just over 50 days left of 2024 the year is winding down, but the magic of what’s to come is just beginning.
Today, we’re going deeper into a critical concept that can truly transform the way we approach the year ahead—understanding the difference between want versus need.
It’s easy to mix them up in our everyday lives, but trust me—these two are worlds apart, and getting clear on this distinction will completely shift the energy of how you design your life.
Today, I’ll share how shifting from a “need” mindset, rooted in survival, to a “want” mindset, rooted in joy and abundance, can unlock high-vibe energy and open up a whole new realm of possibilities for 2025.
So, grab your journal and let’s get clear on what you truly want for your future, no limits, no restrictions.
