Bridgette’s clients are based in every corner of the world, and a significant number are here in Australia, where her extended family live.

From there, we discuss the patterns she sees every day in her work with clients around the world. We talk about the Fence Sitter Spiral, why people stay stuck for years, and how to move from emotional chaos into calm, clarity, and confident action.

The Emotional Root Cause of Illness with Brandon Bay

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286918/fan_mail/new] What if your illness, burnout, or emotional pain isn’t random… but stored? In this powerful episode of Seen and Heard, I sit down with Brandon Bay, founder of The Journey Method and internationally bestselling author, to explore the emotional root cause of illness, generational trauma, and radical healing. Brandon shares the moment her life completely changed. At the peak of her career, she was diagnosed with a basketball sized tumor. Within months, everything unraveled. Her health. Her home. Her marriage. Her job. What followed was the birth of The Journey, a method now used in hospitals worldwide to clear emotional trauma at the cellular level. We talk about: * How trauma gets stored in the body * Epigenetics and generational trauma * Why forgiveness is the key to healing * The connection between emotional shutdown and physical illness * How to access your own infinite intelligence * Healing addiction at the root * Why plant medicine isn’t the only way to reach the soul Brandon explains how we carry ancestral trauma through our DNA, how suppressed emotions create biochemistry in the body, and why “thinking positively” isn’t enough. If you’re in a season of transformation, if you’re peeling back the masks, if you’re ready to stop carrying the backpack of emotional weight… this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Taking Off the Mask: The Courage to Be Seen with Amber Toms

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286918/fan_mail/new] What if the fear that’s been holding you back was never meant to be fought, but released? Today on Seen and Heard, I’m joined by the beautiful Amber Toms [https://www.ambertoms.com/], an acclaimed photographer turned creative visionary and the founder of Annie’s Garden [https://www.instagram.com/anniesgardenstudio/], a soulful art brand rooted in frequency, colour therapy and spiritual connection. Amber’s story is one of courage, creativity and deep transformation. For nearly three decades she worked as one of Australia’s leading beauty and hair photographers, creating stunning imagery for national campaigns and international magazine covers. But behind the lens, she struggled with fear, anxiety and self-doubt constantly questioning her worth, hiding her light and cancelling dream jobs out of fear she wasn’t good enough. Through inner work, self-inquiry and personal transformation, Amber began to peel back the layers that kept her small. A powerful breakthrough during The Go-To Academy helped her uncover the root of her ‘fear’ years of hiding, masking and silencing herself and sparked a complete rebirth that became Annie’s Garden. [https://www.instagram.com/anniesgardenstudio/] You’ll hear us talk about: * Overcoming self-doubt, anxiety and imposter syndrome * The deeper story behind Annie’s Garden and how it came to life * Healing the fear of being seen and heard * Letting go of perfectionism and trusting creative flow * Working with energy, frequency and alignment in art and life Amber’s story is a reminder that healing happens when we stop hiding. When we take off the mask, we finally make space for our truth, creativity and freedom to flow.  That’s exactly what we do inside In Your Element [https://training.prueaja.com/in-your-element], my 4-week experience to help you bring your magic together, connect to your essence, and create your own Personal Manifesto.

The Courage to Pause: What a “Soulbattical” Can Teach You About Change with Tina Bruce

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2286918/fan_mail/new] You know that feeling when everything that used to make sense suddenly stops working? When your work feels heavy, your confidence wobbles, and something inside whispers, it’s time for change? That’s exactly where today’s guest, Tina Bruce [https://www.instagram.com/tinabrucesoul/], found herself. Tina Bruce is an author, speaker, breathwork facilitator, eco-retreat leader, intuitive coach, death walker, spinal energetics practitioner, and yoga teacher. For more than two decades, she has walked the path of wellbeing, first through science, working as a clinical cardiac technician in medical devices, and later through soul, as a guide for those seeking deeper healing and connection. After years leading yoga, breathwork, and retreats, she reached a point where her soul called for something deeper. What followed was a radical act of surrender, a “Soulbattical”, as she calls it, a complete pause to reconnect with her truth. That journey led her into the wilderness, where she undertook a powerful Vision Quest: four days and four nights alone in nature, fasting, praying, and surrendering to the wisdom of the land. In this episode, Tina opens up about how she followed that inner call, even when it meant walking away from everything familiar. She shares her profound vision quest experience, her reflections on ego death, and how she’s redefining what wellness and success truly mean. We talk about the shadow side of the wellness industry, the fear of slowing down, and the deep trust it takes to let life lead. It’s raw, soulful, and full of wisdom for anyone standing at their own crossroads. 🎧 Tune in to hear: * The moment Tina knew she had to step away from her work * What a “Soulbattical” really is (and why your soul might need one too) * Her powerful lessons from fasting alone in the forest * How to recognize the signs your ego is running the show * Why true wellness begins with self-trust, not self-optimization If you’ve ever felt the pull to pause or reinvent yourself, this episode will remind you, you’re not lost, you’re evolving.
