77: The One Magic Bullet You've Longed For (Whether You Have IBS or Not)

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 11:00:00 +1000

Ever wondered what the one magic bullet is?

It's no secret.

It's our mindset. Our psychology. Our thoughts.

Have you noticed for yourself the depth of misery your mind can create, or the absolute joy and happiness it offers?

All from a thought. Or a series of thoughts. And in it's worst state, the entire mindset.

The quality of your life is directly determined by your thoughts.

Let's breakdown what mindset really is.

77: How To Get Out of Frantic Uncertainty About Gut Symptoms

You know when you've been falling short of your own ideals?

Tired of seeing yourself repeat unwanted behaviour?

Fed up with the same old crap, over and over?

Feeling completely stuck where you are?

YASSSSS!

Getting sick of yourself is THE BEST PLACE to be.

Why?

Well, you can either get all down in the dumps about yourself, or...

Use it for motivation. Harness it baby!

074: Meet Yourself Where You Are

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +1000

If you meet yourself where you are, YOU CANNOT FAIL.

If you're stressed, you meet that.
If you're overwhelmed, you meet that.
If you're in pain, you meet that.
If you're grieving, you meet that.
If you're exhausted, you meet that.
If you're happy, you still come and meet that.

And when you meet yourself there, you can relax. You can be still and experience contentment and peace.

It's the HOW you are with yourself that determines your success at it.

073: Give Your Mind the Break it's Begging For

Wed, 14 Jun 2023 10:00:00 +1000

Do you ever feel close to losing your mind?

Using your mind more, to overcome the very problem of your mind being overloaded DOES NOT WORK.

You have to use your mind LESS.

You have to INTENTIONALLY pull yourself away.

You must resist the urge to keep doing more and more.

You have to STOP.

If feeling safe and content and still in yourself sounds appealing to you, jump in and see how it unfolds.

072: Why Focusing Too Much on Your Symptoms is Making Them Worse

Tue, 30 May 2023 08:00:00 +1000

That life is waiting for you!

Don't get roped into relying on a gazillion tricks and strategies to hold you together - overcome the fear at the source so you have full freedom and ease moving forwards.

070: Remove All Your Confusion and Overwhelm by Doing This First

Tue, 09 May 2023 10:00:00 +1000

068: IBS Symptoms and Anxiety Reinforcement

Fri, 03 Feb 2023 14:00:00 +1100

Limiting and narrowing life down to manage anxiety and gut symptoms is a negative reinforcement that doesn't help you long term.

If you let the anxiety determine your actions, you not only reinforce the anxiety, but also a lack of trust in self, a lack of capacity to cope and a lack of ability to self regulate.

There's no growth in that.

The only resolution is to expand life back out again.

066: Moving Out of the Swamplands of Your Past

Thu, 05 Jan 2023 10:00:00 +1100

Having an understanding and awareness of your past is required if it is affecting your life adversely now.

But, this must be balanced with a new way of seeing and doing, otherwise your future will just look like your past because you'll be repeating past patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour which are deeply ingrained in all of us.

If you want your life to change, you have to be prepared to change, AND prepared to do the work that's required to change.

There's an effective way to do that and I'm here to show you how.

065: Increasing Tolerance for Discomfort

Wed, 28 Sep 2022 11:00:00 +1000

What is your reaction when you experience symptoms or discomfort?
- panic
- desperation
- seeking and searching
- grasping outwards
- researching
- catastrophizing

Everything that is stress producing right.

And anything that's stress producing is only going to add further discomfort and symptoms which is the opposite of what you're trying for.

The key is in increasing your tolerance for discomfort by giving up resistance towards it.

Wed, 01 Dec 2021 09:10:33 +1100

It's not meditation itself that you don't like - it's how you RELATE to the processes of the mind that determine whether you find ease or struggle.

Going into meditation (or Conscious Stillness) with the right OBJECTIVE will set you up for ease and greatest benefit.

055: The Space Between Stimulus and Response

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 14:23:53 +1000

You mean there's a space between the stimulus and the response??

For us emotive types, that space can seem pretty slim.

But...in that space is our power to choose our response.

Sometimes we react quickly because our emotions are so hightened and the sheer power of them overrides our capacity to remain poised.

Other times we can't tolerate the intensity of the emotion so reacting immediately helps discharge some of the intensity.

Either way, there's benefit to creating that space.

054: Room Enough For You

Tue, 21 Sep 2021 07:06:19 +1000

This is your invitation to rest, to create space within, to breathe easy and allow the body to soften.

There's room enough for you amongst all that's happening, and it's available right now.

053: Your Gut Can't Digest Emotions

Tue, 14 Sep 2021 09:36:33 +1000

Every emotion is valid. Emotions inform us about what's important to you.

Emotions want to be seen, heard and felt, not stuffed down in your gut.

Your avoidance of emotions is also understandable and valid. Unless you were made to feel they were acceptable, and you were effectively modeled how to be with, explore, feel and express emotions, then they can be downright overwhelming and frightening.

When you really feel, hear, acknowledge and allow your emotions, the body softens and I can bet you would welcome that.

052: Not Trusting Your Body

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 17:01:46 +1000

Your body and gut know what to do...your job is to get out of their way.

There's a gazillion things that get in the way of its' capacity to function optimally and the good (empowering) news is, you have agency over all of them.

Come and listen to the whole Happy Inside podcast episode on your favourite podcast app - Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts and Stitcher.

051: Trying to be Someone Else to Feel Good Enough

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 16:49:40 +1000

If you’re striving, whipping and forcing yourself to be someone else, a different person, someone better…I hear you.

Honey, that’s tough. Why are you doing that? Because you don’t feel good enough or you believe you’re inadequate or not worthy?

What if you didn’t have to be a different person to be OK?

___

050: You are so Brave

Sun, 15 Aug 2021 10:50:30 +1000

I know it's hard

I know you struggle

I know you're scared

I know it's overwhelming

I know it's tiring

I see you, and I see how brave you are.

049: A Rest from Yourself

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 06:17:49 +1000

We often take breaks from daily life in the form of holidays and vacations, but how often do you take a break from what's going on within you?

048: Seeking Answers to Gut Symptoms and Chronic Illness

Wed, 14 Jul 2021 10:44:58 +1000

When you're experiencing gut symptoms or illness, especially when it's chronic, then it's not lost on me that finding answers is a substantial focus in your life.

To effectively do so, it's critical to be provided with ALL the options, information and knowledge so you're not missing any pieces to the puzzle you're attempting to put together.

047: Your Gut Symptoms are the Portal to the Stress, Anxiety & Unresolved Circumstances Contributing to Gut Disorders

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:59:38 +1000

When stress, anxiety and unresolved circumstances are acute or ongoing, your gut can produce symptoms of constipation, diarrhea, nausea, reflux, pain and bloating as a result.

What's more, it can also contribute to changes in your microbiome leading to conditions like SIBO and leaky gut.

In gut focused therapy, when we know there are psychologial or emotional aspects of your symptoms, we use the gut as the portal to reach all those places that are asking for your attention; this is about resolving the core of the issue rather than applying bandaid solutions.

We give your experience the space and time and voice it needs so it no longer produces symptoms.

046: Intentional Action

Tue, 22 Jun 2021 18:53:30 +1000

It's so easy to get bogged down in things that aren't working - ill health, symptoms, stress, overwhelm, life.

But how much time do you actually spending visioning where you'd like to be and taking intentional action towards it?

Visioning on its own is not enough, it's just wishing. You must then be intentional and take action and begin to live your life in the way you vision it to be. That's when it happens.

045: Right Here With You (+ MEDITATION)

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 13:20:33 +1000

You're not alone in your struggle and fear; I'm right here with you.

Anxiety and fear can quickly disconnect you from yourself, leaving you more afraid and grasping to feel better.

Let's bring you back home to yourself. Let's sit together and breathe together in the knowing you're not alone.

This episode includes a small meditation to help you feel seen, heard and safe.

044: How Your Breath Talks to Your Nervous System

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 07:49:49 +1000

Your breath is the language of your nervous system.

It's a resource you already have within you.

And the best thing, your body is highly responsive to how you breathe. I'll show you how in the breathing exercise included.

043: Catastrophizing is Just Yelling

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 17:31:50 +1000

How loud does catastrophizing sound inside your head?

Put down the desperate need to seek and search and gather more information and strive and try harder.

Listening is the antidote to catastrophizing.

042: The Critical Element in Resolving Gut Symptoms

Thu, 20 May 2021 12:00:00 +1000

No matter how much you talk about the stress around your symptoms or the general stress and anxiety in your life, they're not getting any better?

There's a reason for that, and therefore a critical step that must be included to resolve your symptoms.

041: Symptoms are a Feedback Mechanism

Sat, 01 May 2021 12:00:00 +1000

I'll let you in on the best secret around; your body is NOT against you.

And how about this concept; to honour the body and the information, messages, and insight it has to offer...including those symptoms you are so desperately trying to avoid.

A great deal of your resolution is right here within you.

040: The Discomfort Gap

Thu, 21 Jan 2021 08:01:27 +1100

When we evolve, whether it's health wise or psychologically, there's a gap between point A (where we were) and point B (where we want to be). That gap can be incredibly uncomfortable.

It takes time to cross the gap, and we can do it with impatience and criticism or kindness and space; both will determine the quality of our journey and our self-esteem.

039: Opening vs Narrowing Attention

Tue, 29 Dec 2020 16:12:28 +1100

When we get worried and hypervigilent, our fear narrows our attention which means we only see part of the picture.

In this episode we discuss why and how this happens, and more importantly, how to open our awareness with curiosity.

038: Your Gut is Designed to be Affected by Stress

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 07:27:18 +1100

Stress affects the gut; it's meant to biologically.

If you're stressed and your gut is upset, we can't blame the gut - it's attending to the source of stress that will make all the difference.

We talk about survival mode, the stress response (fight and flight) and why you're trapped in this cycle.

037: REACHING DEEP - The Wild Unplugging

Sat, 26 Sep 2020 11:01:36 +1000

On a recent first time solo campervanning trip I found myself reaching deep. Walk beside me as I share the insights I learnt, inclusive of fear, bliss, and stories of near electrocution.

Watch the video, full of Australian scenery and real-time personal vlogging; fears, insights, eyes-wide-open-excitement, fully arriving in myself, the Australian bush, kookaburras and the most pristine beaches and waterways.

036: Behaviour Shaping

Wed, 20 May 2020 13:56:46 +1000

Each one of us has inbuilt behaviours, and sometimes they just aren’t serving us well. Shaping those behaviours into more effective ones is deeply rewarding, builds self-mastery and therefore self-esteem and self-respect.

And who doesn’t want more of those?

035: Bowel Movement Hypervigilence

Wed, 06 May 2020 10:34:53 +1000

For people with gut disorders, the hypervigilence around bowel movements can become a focus and preoccupation that actually hinders the normal bowel function you’re desperately trying to achieve.

So how do you stop it?

034: Relationship with Food

Thu, 27 Feb 2020 09:54:08 +1100

Food Anxiety?

Hypervigilence about food?

Afraid of food? Don't know what to eat?

The above are all anxiety behaviours. They heighten your nervous system and upset your digestion and tolerance to food.

When you soften the anxiety, your symptoms will soften and your body will stop being hyper reactive to food.

033: Where Can I Soften?

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 15:50:12 +1100

Softening is different to letting go. Letting go feels frightening, like a huge leap and it’s a one-time option that could go well or not, and feels risky.

But softening, well, that’s soft. It’s gentle and safe. It’s just loosening your grip slightly while you still hold yourself steady.

032: App Update - for gut disorders PLUS chronic illness, pain, anxiety and stress

Fri, 31 Jan 2020 14:47:15 +1100

Happy Inside originally focused on gut disorders. While they still remain a big focus, the app now includes other chronic conditions, illness, pain, anxiety and stress.

Why? Because gut disorders are just one way psychological and emotional factors present themselves in the body; there are many other avenues for the body to express them and it only seems fair that there’s support for this too. It’s all the same concept, just a different expression in the body.

So let’s go through the 3 main practices within the app and why are they so important in overcoming symptoms.

031: You Enrich Me, Yes YOU.

Thu, 16 Jan 2020 16:12:54 +1100

Whether we work together in consultation, or have contact in some other way, you enrich my life and that enrichment is almost entirely based on my relationship with you, because of the courage you have in showing up while I hold space for you.

Incredible insights and transformations happen in this space for both you and me, which is the ultimate reward.

Come and hear how amazing I think you are.

030: What Would You Like?

Wed, 23 Oct 2019 13:51:50 +1100

We are all gifted the same amount of time in our week, and it is up to us how we spend that time – that goes for me too. In this episode I share why I’ve spent the last 6 months not podcasting, and how this relates to you, what offerings are on their way, and most importantly I ask what it is you want?

029: Sitting with Yourself

Mon, 29 Apr 2019 11:59:58 +1000

You live within you so you can't avoid you.

No more running from yourself, distracting and keeping so busy to avoid what you think you can't tolerate. You can.

028: How to Determine a Good Practitioner

Mon, 15 Apr 2019 19:40:17 +1000

Skills and experience alone are not enough when determining a good practitioner.

You want to look and feel for the “Goodness of fit”. It’s a relationship that fosters healthy psychological development and positive self-esteem and is based on the temperament and personality of each person in the relationship.

Here's a run-down of those crucial elements that determine a good practitioner.

027: 4 Crucial Questions for your Happiness

Mon, 01 Apr 2019 10:15:13 +1100

To be happy, you've got to start with the right questions.

When you know how you want to feel, you'll start making choices and taking actions to bring those very feelings into your life.

These 4 crucial questions will change your perspective and life for the better.

026: Emotions: Your Internal Environment

Mon, 25 Mar 2019 10:57:53 +1100

We have the freedom and power of choice. We can be annoyed at what’s happening in the spaces around us, or we can let that go and focus on creating an internal space that promotes wellness.

When our internal environment is content, it vastly changes how we see the external one, how we relate to it and how it affects us.

025: Emotions: Where Unresolved Ones Go

Thu, 21 Mar 2019 12:52:42 +1100

Emotions aren’t tangible objects you pack into a box and store under the stairs or in the attic. You can’t just sweep them into a dustpan or out the front door. Emotions are energy within you and when you push that energy aside, you’re doing so inside your own body.

024: Emotions: the Effect on Your Gut

Mon, 11 Mar 2019 10:42:23 +1100

That link between your body and mind is unmistakable. You can’t switch off the connection between the mind and gut, but what you can do is create a really great friendship where the both of you thrive.

023: Emotions - Representation of a Thought

Tue, 05 Mar 2019 09:20:47 +1100

Worrisome thoughts will generate the relevant feeling; stress, anxiety, worry, anger, resentment. If you want to feel something other than those, something more beneficial, you gotta get in the drivers seat and start thinking better quality thoughts.

022: Recurring Questions - Coming Home

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 08:22:09 +1100

When we make decisions and behave in ways that meet our own values, we experience healthy self-esteem. This is why coming home to listen to ourselves is crucial in all that we do.

021: Recurring Questions: External Grasping

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 08:14:21 +1100

We’ve got Google, apps, social media, books, articles, doctors, practitioners, workshops, health retreats, yoga, and the rest – there is no shortage of information or help out there that we engage with every day. It’s evident that we are seeking for something more.

Grasping though has a different feel to it; it comes from a place of fear. Two things happen when we grasp:

We clutch at something outside of us
We abandon ourselves

If you're looking for a sense of safety and freedom and calm, there's another way.

020: Recurring Questions - Why Can't I Stop My Gut Symptoms

Tue, 12 Feb 2019 20:26:33 +1100

You’re feeling even more disappointed, upset, frustrated, angry and discouraged than before because your gut symptoms just keep getting worse.

Join me as I share with you the very common pattern of behaviour that keeps symptoms in full swing, and even exacerbates them.

019: Recurring Questions - What's Causing My Gut Symptoms

Mon, 04 Feb 2019 12:15:04 +1100

018: Scanning and Scrolling

Thu, 10 May 2018 16:18:50 +1000

All this scanning and scrolling is feeding in to our anxiety and idea that multi tasking is better. It’s pulling us away from our presence, and therefore, happiness.

And a note on scrolling and scanning - to the people who have the massive phone screens, we can read your feed!

017: Pace Yourself

Fri, 27 Apr 2018 15:27:01 +1000

When was the last time you stopped to smell the roses?

We are living a pace of life that is far beyond our capacities. We have abandoned ourselves for other ideals and it's making us stressed and sick.

016: Inside the Program

Fri, 20 Apr 2018 13:42:26 +1000

All those questions you have about the inside workings of the Happy Inside Program are answered here. Here are the logistics of the program, how it works, what we do, how we spend each session, and of course, how we reduce and eliminate your distress and symptoms.

015: Facilitated Meditation Practice

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:10:53 +1100

A full guided meditation practice to get you started, or to renew a current practice.

014: Meditation Hurdles

Thu, 22 Mar 2018 16:07:04 +1100

Meditation doesn’t come without its challenges, and they are often the reason people never take it up, or abandon a new practice.

Knowing how to address those very hurdles will transform your current practice, or inspire you to begin.

013: Natural v Anxiety Bowel Movements

Fri, 16 Mar 2018 16:36:57 +1100

There is a distinct difference between a bowel movement that occurs naturally and one that is activated by anxiety.

Recognising the difference is the first step in trusting your body, reducing your symptoms and experiencing freedom.

012: Real Life Stories

Tue, 13 Mar 2018 10:17:52 +1100

Gut symptoms can develop from simple life stressors. The key word here is unresolved. Emotions are the body’s representation of a thought, and if those emotions are unresolved then the body will eventually give way by developing symptoms.

Maybe these real life stories relate to you, and provide valuable insight to some possible causes of your symptoms.

011: Food Anxiety

Sat, 03 Mar 2018 08:32:13 +1100

I'm afraid of food
I don't know what to eat anymore
What if this food makes me unwell?
Which food did I eat yesterday that's caused todays symptoms?
I'm too scared to try anything new

Any of these sound familiar to you?

In seeking the answers outwards, we have forgotten how to intuitively eat; to listen to and trust our own bodies.

010: App Walkthrough

Tue, 27 Feb 2018 10:10:23 +1100

A walkthrough of the Happy Inside app to ensure you gain the greatest benefits.

- Creating the right environment

- How to engage in gut directed hypnotherapy

- What to do when your mind wanders

- Commitment is your greatest tool

009: You Determine the Internal Environment for Your Gut

Thu, 08 Feb 2018 16:02:21 +1100

Your gut is dependant on the environment you create for it. Your mind speaks directly to your gut via the vagus nerve, and that communication is happening whether those messages are harmful or healing so if you want to feel better, it's time to create a better environment.

008: Stillness

Thu, 01 Feb 2018 17:36:22 +1100

When discomfort arises:

THIS is the moment to stay.
THIS is the moment to draw on your courage and wait.
THIS is the moment to listen.
THIS is the moment amazing things happen.
But only if you stay.

007: Attitude Matters

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:13:24 +1100

You can make new years resolutions and set yourself goals till the cows come home, but if your attitude is lacking in self compassion, it could all go sour.

006: Social Media

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 21:01:10 +1100

We have more devices and apps to connect us, yet we are more disconnected than ever. It's not the device that's the problem, it's how we use it.

005: Meditation

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:50:08 +1100

Your gut is Irritated By Stress because the world in 2017 is hectic. I’ve got one word for you. Meditation. Book - "First, We Make the Beast Beautiful" by Sarah Wilson.

04: Hypnotherapy v Hypnosis

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:41:12 +1100

The low down on stage hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy; what actually goes on in a stage show, why you won’t cluck like a chicken in clinical hypnotherapy, and how it all works.

003: Interference Behaviours

Sun, 28 Jan 2018 20:32:16 +1100

Your gut knows what to do, and will do it so long as you stop interfering with it. Find out what your interference behaviours are.

002: Causes

Mon, 15 Jan 2018 11:54:11 +1100

Stress. It’s just one of the causes of gut symptoms. It can be the original cause, or stress can overtake and become the main reason symptoms are persisting. Either way, your body is giving you a clear message there is something out of balance to resolve for which gut focused therapy is the very treatment.

001: Welcome

Thu, 11 Jan 2018 21:00:00 +1100

If you are one of many people experiencing a gut disorder, then you are in the right place. You know the stress, anxiety, worry and way that your symptoms have changed your life…that’s what we talk about here. It’s the behavioural and psychological aspects of gut disorders; everything no one else is talking to you about.
