In this inspiring and heartfelt episode of The Searchers Podcast, Atem Bior and Kirron Byrne are joined by Dr. Alicia Behncke-Layton — a veterinarian, lifelong learner, and proud Indigenous Australian — for a beautifully open conversation about identity, femininity, and purpose.
Alicia shares what it truly means to embrace your “soft girl era”, how to stay grounded in a demanding world, and the importance of following a path that aligns with who you are, not who others expect you to be. She also reflects on her Indigenous heritage and how it’s shaped her approach to care, learning, and connection.
This episode is about self-discovery, intuition, and authenticity — a calm yet powerful reminder that our truest selves often emerge when we allow softness, not just strength, to lead the way.
For new listeners, The Searchers Podcast is about sharing experiences on this collective search for truth, love, and self— the big questions we all ponder but rarely express. As humanity, we’re all friends on this journey. So join us on The Search, and enjoy the ride.
Listen through to explore themes of femininity, identity, and following your purpose with one of the most uplifting guests yet.
