Have you ever had a season of life where you looked in the mirror and barely recognised the woman looking back at you? Maybe you've spent years achieving, giving, caring for everyone else... and somewhere along the way, you've lost touch with yourself. You know what you should be doing. You've read the books, listened to the podcasts, taken the supplements... yet something still feels missing. What if healing isn't about learning more... What if it's about remembering? Today, I'm joined by Artemis, founder of She Awakening. Artemis is a women's guide, bodyworker and ceremonial facilitator based in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. For more than two decades she has been gathering women in circle, drawing on Shamanic Womancraft, somatic therapy, Kahuna Bodywork, womb and pelvic bodywork and other earth-based practices to help them reconnect with their bodies, the Earth and their own inner wisdom. Her work has moved thousands of women through times of change, from motherhood to grief to the thresholds of midlife.  In today's episode, we explore the season she describes as being "blown open" and how her experiences transformed not only her life, but the way she now holds space for thousands of women. This is a conversation about womanhood and what it really takes to truely heal and come home to yourself. Whether you're in a season of growth, feeling a little lost, struggling with women's health issues or simply longing to reconnect with the woman you've always been, I have a feeling this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Here is episode 144 'The Missing Piece In Women's Healing'. ......

Have you ever felt like you know exactly what you should be doing to improve your health, relationships, career or mindset... but for some reason you just can't seem to follow through? You've listened to the podcasts, read the books, bought the courses and made the plans. Yet somehow, you find yourself repeating the same patterns. Today's guest believes the problem isn't a lack of knowledge. In fact, she says more information is rarely the answer. Tamsin Simounds is a leadership expert, keynote speaker and author of the new book, The Experiment Mindset. Drawing on neuroscience, behavioural psychology and more than a decade of coaching leaders and founders, she shares a refreshingly different approach to personal growth and lasting change. In this conversation, we unpack why growth doesn't come from having all the answers, what happens in the brain when we consume information without taking action, the myth of linear growth, how neuroplasticity shapes our ability to evolve, and why the most successful people aren't necessarily the most talented - they're simply willing to experiment. We also dive into the sunk cost fallacy, perfectionism, creating environments that support growth, and how to stop chasing outcomes that leave you feeling anxious and unfulfilled. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're constantly preparing for change without actually creating it, this episode is just for you. Here is episode 143 of Her Best Version with Tamsin Simounds. ------ PODCAST SHOWNOTES: https://www.kaseywillson.com/blog/episode143 CLEANSING ORGANIC DANDELION ROOT TEA: https://backtothepaddock.au/shop/ (use code HERBESTVERSION for a special discount) MORE FROM TAMSIN: Instagram @TamsinSimounds & Linked In & pick up her new book 'The Experiment Mindset' at Booktopia, Amazon & in all good book stores.  SAY HI TO KASEY ON INSTA: @KaseyWillson.Naturopath MORE FROM KASEY: https://www.kaseywillson.com

In this personal solo episode of Her Best Version, I'm sharing a little life update and opening up about navigating one of the most challenging chapters of my life. Amid stress, change and emotional overwhelm, I've been leaning into the simple yet powerful practices that help support my nervous system, regulate cortisol, and bring me back to myself, without adding more pressure to an already full plate. This episode is a reminder that supporting your health doesn't always have to look like doing more. Sometimes, the most healing things are the small moments of nourishment, rest, connection, boundaries, nature, movement, laughter and self-compassion woven into your everyday life. If you've been feeling stretched, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will explore simple ways to fill your own cup and support your health, during difficult seasons too. ....

Have you ever wondered why some days you feel energised, clear and in flow… and other days everything feels hard, overwhelming, and like you're pushing uphill? Or why communication in your relationships can feel effortless at times and then suddenly misaligned, frustrating, or completely missed? What if there was a way to understand how you're uniquely designed to operate, make decisions, show up in your relationships, and move through life with more ease? Today, I'm joined by Chloe Cocks, a compassionate leadership mentor, business owner, and founder who walks beside high capactiy women to come home to themselves so they can lead their lives, teams, and businesses with greater clarity and ease. Chloe Cocks is the founder of Roar Speech, a paediatric speech pathology service she has led for over 15 years, supporting children and families while building a thriving and values-led team. She is also the founder of Conscious Consulting, where she mentors high performing women leaders and entrepreneurs to develop compassionate leadership and a deeper understanding of themselves so they can lead their work and lives with clarity and alignment. Chloe is the co-host of The Selfish Podcast, runs retreats and leadership experiences, and is passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves and lead with authenticity, confidence, and ease. She's also a mum to two boys and believes the most powerful ripple in leadership begins within. In this episode 141 of Her Best Version podcast, we break down what Human Design really is, how to use it in a practical way, and how it can support you in becoming your most aligned, authentic self - in your relationships, your family life, and your work. ....

Most of us are becoming more conscious about what we eat, the skincare we use, and even the cleaning products in our homes… but have you ever stopped to think about the clothes touching your skin all day? Activewear has become a daily uniform for many women - whether we're exercising, running errands, or simply living life on the go. But what if those fabrics are made from materials that may be impacting both our health and the environment? Today's guest, Jade Payne, founder of Wild Body Australia, knows this conversation all too well. After being diagnosed with an extremely rare kidney cancer at just 33 years old, Jade began questioning the hidden toxins in everyday life - including the synthetic activewear she had worn for years as a CrossFitter and busy mum of four. What began as a deeply personal health journey has now turned into a powerful mission to help women move, live, and dress more consciously. In episode 140 of Her Best Version, we explore the reality of synthetic fabrics, the potential health implications of wearing them daily, and how Jade turned one of life's most challenging moments into the creation of a purpose-driven brand. ......

Money in the bank doesn't always mean security… and today's conversation may completely change how you see your financial future. Today on Her Best Version, I'm joined by the inspiring Carmelle Pavan — General Manager at leading Australian bullion company As Good As Gold Australia, and co-founder of As Good As Gold Women, the first precious metals company in the world dedicated entirely to empowering women toward financial freedom. Carmelle brings her deep knowledge of the financial system into this conversation, as we explore a topic that feels more important than ever: the truth about money, inflation, and how we can create greater financial security in uncertain times. Together, we unpack how money began, how the modern banking system works behind the scenes, why money sitting in the bank can quietly lose value over time, and why precious metals like gold and silver have remained trusted stores of wealth for centuries. This is such an empowering episode, especially for women who want to feel more informed, more confident, and more in control of their financial future. ...............

Have you ever felt the nudge to put yourself out there… but talked yourself out of it instead? Today's conversation is for every woman who knows she has more to share, but isn't quite sure how to step into visibility with confidence. I'm joined by Amy Springhall, founder of The Visibility Project, a business and platform increasing the visibility of female leaders.  Amy is one of those people who instantly makes you feel comfortable - she brings people together, breaks down walls, and reminds women that visibility doesn't have to feel loud, pushy, or inauthentic. In this episode, we explore her journey into this work, why women often hold themselves back, how to grow confidence over time. Plus her top tips for showing up online, speaking publicly, and creating influence in a way that supports the full picture of life as a woman. ......

What if the conversations you fear most are actually the doorway to deeper connection? In today's episode, I'm joined by Kate Russell -  a mediator with more than 20 years of experience helping people navigate the moments we tend to avoid: the hard talks, the simmering tension, the workplace or family conflict that keeps you awake at 2am replaying every word. Kate believes conflict isn't a sign something is broken - it's a sign something matters. And in this conversation, she shares how to turn those uncomfortable moments into opportunities for clarity, confidence and stronger relationships.  We dive into her journey into mediation, how she reframes conflict, and her practical tools for bringing up tricky conversations without triggering defensiveness. Kate covers how to lower the temperature when things get heated, navigating conflict over text or email, and why curiosity is the most underrated relationship skill. This episode is full of grounded, compassionate wisdom to help you communicate more openly, lead more strongly and stay connected even when things get uncomfortable. If you've ever wished for better tools to navigate tricky conversations and conflict, this episode is for you! ..........

In today's episode, I sit down with Dr Thomas Cowan - one of the most influential and controversial voices in holistic medicine. Known for challenging conventional ideas about contagion, water, and even the root cause of heart attacks and stroke, Dr Cowan brings a depth of wisdom that invites us to question everything we thought we knew about health. We explore what led him to break away from the mainstream narrative, why he believes germs aren't the enemy, what "healthy water" actually is, and the tools he uses to help the body and environment thrive. He also shares a radically different view of heart attacks and strokes, the daily practices he recommends for true heart health, and the surprising amount of water we really need. If you're ready for a conversation that challenges assumptions and opens doors to new ways of understanding the body, this episode is for you. ...

Today's episode dives deep into a topic that so many women silently navigate — anxiety, control, and the feeling of being constantly overwhelmed. I'm joined by Dr Kaitlin N. Harkess — Clinical Psychologist, author of The Somatic Workbook for Nervous System Regulation and Anxiety Management. Kaitlin blends psychology, yoga, and meditation to help people reconnect with their bodies and truly heal from the inside out. In this conversation, we explore what it really means when "the issues are in your tissues," how anxiety can show up emotionally, mentally, and physically, and why somatic healing is a missing piece for so many of us. We'll unpack the driving forces behind control, what happens when we keep pushing through stress, and the first step to regulating your nervous system and building resilience — even when life feels out of control. So if you've been feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or ready to finally come home to your body… this episode is for you. Let's dive in. 💫 ......

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now? Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been 'iron deficient'. But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results. You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you. In today's chat we cover: The important factors to consider with diet and testing, in your preconception phase. The importance of optimal iron in your body for women and in pregnancy, how this supports your growing baby. How to check your iron levels through testing. If you're being told your levels are low, why you should take a second look at your blood test results . The real markers and levels to look for to check for an iron deficiency. The underlying causes to real iron deficiency in women. What an iron infusion is, the dose of iron included and the health implications of this therapy. Stephs steps to holistically prevent and overcome iron deficiency. The important cofactors to support your body's use of iron in your body. Plus examples of foods and meals for healthy iron levels. ...........

Did you know what you place on your skin, ends up in your bloodstream? This is something I'm constantly reminding my girls when they attempt to draw on their skin. The movement of low-tox and body skin care products is starting to gain momentum as people are finding out about the harmful ingredients that make up their fav products. You're most likely aware of this for skin & body care products, but something that is often ignored is the fact that what you wear closest to your skin, can also impact your health, particularly your hormones. Did the penny just drop? Are you thinking about all the items that make up your wardrobe? Over the past couple of years, I've been much more conscious about the choices I make when purchasing clothes- opting for less, higher quality items, or those I will get the most wear from. But there'e something more important I'm looking at- the material it's made form. Today, I discuss an overlooked but incredibly important topic: the materials we surround ourselves with daily—our clothing, bedding, and even towels—and how they can impact hormone health. Plus, I share healthier, low-tox alternatives and practises that support your hormone health, fertility and so much more. ...
