In Part Two of my Italy trip podcast episodes, I’m diving deep into what this journey truly brought up the fear, the freedom, and the fierce reclamation of self. This episode is an intimate look at solo travel as a mother, moving through fear in a foreign country, and learning to hold yourself with grace when things don’t go to plan. From falling in love with Rome’s ancient magic, to finding strength in sisterhood and stillness on the island of Ischia this is the story of remembering who I am. Inside this episode: The truth about fear and how it reveals your strength Lessons from travelling solo as a woman and mother Why presence changes everything The importance of integrating your experiences The power of surrender and self-trust  Join me for Let Her Rise: The Activation Experience — happening 7th November, 6.30pm in Helensvale.

In this heartfelt and wildly honest episode, Peta-Lea takes you on the journey behind one of the most powerful manifestations of her life, her trip to Italy. What began as a casual coffee chat with a friend turned into a full-bodied declaration: “I’m going to Italy.” No plan, no money in her account, just conviction. Within days, the Universe began to move in ways she couldn’t have imagined, mentorship clients appeared, opportunities unfolded, and every detail aligned perfectly. In this part one episode, Peta-Lea opens up about:  The exact moment she decided — not wished, but decided — she was going to Italy How declaring her desire to the Universe unlocked a ripple of divine support  The courage it took to take radical action (yes, including becoming an Uber Eats driver)  What it really looks like behind the scenes of manifestation as a mother and business owner  The spiritual signs — feathers, birds, numbers, the goddess — that confirmed she was on the right path And how her pendulum led her straight to a Roman apartment, number 111, watched over by a winged goddess This is more than a travel story, it’s a reminder of what happens when you choose trust over doubt, faith over fear, and action over hesitation. It’s for every woman who’s ever felt the whisper of something more calling her forward but wondered if she was brave enough to answer. Because when you say yes, the Universe rearranges everything to meet you there.   Share this episode with a soul sister, tag @thewomanempireproject @petaleabrenda.   Join me next week as I continue this conversation in part two.   Friday 7th November join 5 powerful women as we hold an activation event on the Gold Coast.

In this episode, I sit down with international event expert Bex to unpack the five key reasons why every business should be running events, even if it feels overwhelming.

She was recently described as the invisible hands weaving magic into the fabric of an event. Bex is now teaching what she has learnt over more than 20 years, in the form of in person masterclasses and an online course ready to launch later this year.   We talk about:💥 Showcasing your product/service in a real, tangible way💥 The power of people meeting you, the founder, in person💥 Getting live feedback that could shape your offers💥 Creating 6 months of content in a few days💥 And why in-person connection cuts through the noise like nothing else If you’re ready to elevate your brand, grow your trust, and stand out — events are your next move.   Connect with Bex Harris:   https://www.instagram.com/on.brand.events/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/bexharris/ https://www.onbrandevents.com.au/   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com   Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject   Join Bex myself and 3 other incredible women as we hold an event for women Friday evening 8/8.   All event details below: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1420299125919?aff=oddtdtcreator https://bit.ly/4loNUxq    If you loved this episode, let us know by leaving a 5 star rating and review.

What if the very thing you’ve been avoiding—stillness, silence, your own thoughts is actually the portal to your peace? In this deeply moving and soul-stirring episode, I sit down with the gorgeous Callie Brown, a woman whose journey from child performer to embodied coach is both powerful and profoundly relatable. We unravel the layers of self-inquiry, the fear of sitting in silence, and what it means to come home to yourself—again and again.   Together, we explore:  Why one simple daily question can shift your entire energy The moment Callie had a “nervous breakthrough” and what it revealed Redefining meditation + self-connection in a busy, overstimulated world  Releasing guilt as a mother when choosing yourself  Co-regulation, safety, and why true healing begins in community Why doing “the work” is less about bloom and more about becoming The healing power of presence, curiosity, and shared humanity This conversation will make you laugh, cry, remember parts of yourself you’ve long silenced, and most of all—remind you that you don’t need permission to return to who you’ve always been.   Callie Brown is an avid conversationalist, relational coach, and homeschooling mama of two. She believes that better relationships make for a better life—and she’s on a mission to prove it, one honest conversation at a time. From ages 6 to 26, Callie told stories through professional acting gigs in film, television, and theatre. But it was a nervous breakthrough in her mid-twenties that sparked a deeper fascination: reworking the inner stories we carry to reconnect with our authentic voice. Since then, she’s spent the past 17 years coaching individuals and groups into more honest, aligned, and nourishing relationships with themselves and others. She knows firsthand how powerful it is to feel like you matter—and to invest in a life that feels true to you. You’ll often find Callie bobbing to a tune, sipping on a matcha, and cooking up nutrient-dense delights—always keeping an eye out for her next chance to take the stage and deliver a heart-fuelled keynote to an open-hearted audience.   Connect with Callie: https://www.calliebrown.com.au https://www.instagram.com/calliecoach?igsh=MW1jNTVqOHYwaXdkbg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr   Connect with Peta-Lea Brenda:   www.peta-leabrenda.com   Instagram: @petaleabrenda @thewomanempireproject

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt exhausted, disconnected, or trapped inside a body that no longer feels like her own. I sit down with the radiant and resilient Dani Seadon, a mother of four, midwife, and holistic wellness mentor, who shares her remarkable story of turning a devastating autoimmune diagnosis into a catalyst for deep healing and transformation. Told she had rheumatoid arthritis and would need to be on chemotherapy drugs for life, Dani made a decision that changed everything: “This is not my story.” What followed was a brave journey back to self — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Welcome back, beautiful.   Part two of my Bali journey. If you haven’t listened to part one yet, I encourage you to pause here and start there, it’ll give you the full picture of what was one of the most life-changing trips I’ve ever taken. In this episode, I share the deeply spiritual experience of a sacred water purification ceremony in Bali, the raw, unfiltered moments that challenged me, and the unexpected lessons that continued to unfold even after I returned home. I open up about the confronting reality of poverty, the simplicity of Balinese life, and how these powerful contrasts sparked deep gratitude and self-reflection within me. From squat toilets to barefoot offerings, and candlelit evenings to heart awakenings, I invite you into the full experience. In this episode, I share: What it was really like to take part in a sacred water cleansing ceremony The cultural contrasts and the emotions they stirred within me Why simplicity and sacredness have become my new non-negotiables A gentle invitation to create stillness, intention and presence in your everyday life Why this trip is now a yearly declaration to honour myself Let this episode be a reminder that peace, presence, and power are available to you at any momentum, and you have permission to strip it all back and reconnect with what truly matters.   If this resonates, please share it with a friend, leave a 5-star review, or come say hi over on Instagram @petaleabrenda or @thewomanempireproject.

In this powerful episode of The Woman Empire Project Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Brie—my beautiful soul sister, dance teacher, and dear friend, to talk about the magic of movement and how dance transforms a woman from the inside out. Brie shares her journey with dance, from childhood ballet classes to rediscovering movement as a mother and now teaching women to express themselves through dance. We dive deep into the confidence, sensuality, and self-liberation that dance offers and how it allows women to step into their most radiant, empowered selves. We also explore Brie’s groundbreaking Center Stage performance course, the fears and limiting beliefs that often hold women back from fully expressing themselves, and why now is the time to step onto the stage—literally and figuratively. If you’ve ever felt the call to move, to reconnect with your feminine power, or to break free from judgment and fully express yourself, this episode is for you. ✨ Join us as we talk all things dance, empowerment, and the magic of self-expression. 🎟 Plus, don’t miss the details on how you can attend Center Stage: La Soirée—an electrifying night of women stepping into their power through performance!   Get your ticket now for our show night! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/centre-stage-la-soiree-tickets-1232456834569   Connect with Brie:   Instagram: @dance_with_brie   Connect with Peta-Lea:   Instagram: @petaleabrena @thewomanempireproject   Listen now and let’s move together! 💃✨
