Ending Body Burnout Show

Chris & Filly are joined with one of our amazing Ending Body Burnout Method clients. Three years ago, Mel experienced a huge crash in her energy, mental health, immunity & gut during perimenopause, after many years of pushing herself. At her worst she was hospitalised for severe anxiety and depression. And now - she is living her best life, travelling, adventures, and deeply surrendering into being.



These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the amazing Mel, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.



P.S. If you’re seeking a deep, holistic ROOT-root-cause healing approach, now is your time! Doors open to our Ending Body Burnout Method 17 June. Head here to join the waitlist to get early access, $500+ worth of early-bird bonuses.

In this episode, Mel chats to Chris & Filly about:



How perimenopause stopped her in her tracks, after years of pushing through and burnout

All the things she’d tried - candida/low-carb diets, supplements, hypnosis, NLP, psychology therapy sessions, gut healing protocols, medications - and how some things helped with symptom management, but still was struggling daily

How she had burned herself out trying to heal previously - and how the Ending Body Burnout Method allowed her to heal at her own pace, while rewiring burnout patterns

The relief when Filly said - no more lab testing!

Getting to the ROOT-root-cause of her body burnout - the belief that she was weak and unlovable that stemmed from childhood, and that had led to trying to prove herself and push through all her life

Learning how to BE was a huge part of her healing

The times anxiety came back with vengeance after a period of feeling well - and why she came back feeling stronger every time

The freedom and enjoyment and adventures that are part of her every day life, now that anxiety and fatigue no longer rule her

Chris & Filly are joined with one of our amazing Ending Body Burnout Method clients. Neeka came to us after struggling with 4 decades of anxiety that was crippling her physical health (insomnia, gut issues, difficulty losing weight, body pain), and also crippling her confidence, her relationships, and her ability to show up in her business. She likened the anxiety to feeling like she was in a “prison” in her mind. And now - she has peace and freedom internally for the first time in her life, her confidence is blooming, she’s showing up on social media for her ASMR business like a rock-star (and her ASMR practice is thriving because of it!), and she’s putting in boundaries and creating healthy relationships like never before. Not to mention eating all the things again, and finally releasing stubborn weight & seeing muscle definition in her body!!



These real-life stories are super special - I call them “evidence collecting”. Evidence that healing IS possible. The more you can hear and see this, the more it becomes possible for you! So we are so incredibly grateful to the amazing Neeka, for coming on the show today, to spread hope and healing with others.

In this episode, Neeka chats to Chris & Filly about:

Living with anxiety for most of her life, going right back to childhood, and how it had been affecting her physical health, work and relationships

Why scepticism prevented her from jumping into our Ending Body Burnout Method for a year, until she saw the transformational results of her friend Sally who did the program

The things she’d tried - diet changes, parasite cleanses, NLP & shadow work - and how these things helped, but didn’t go deep enough to actually rewiring the anxiety

The validation of getting her functional lab test results back - and feeling physically supported

How deeper root-cause beliefs of not enoughness and feeling like she was broken, was causing EVERYTHING

Childhood programming of parentification and rescuing others, to try to feel enough

Two profound practices that helped Neeka to deeply rewire unconscious beliefs & patterns, that freed her from anxiety

Why a robust, holistic healing approach does work - when you’re willing to lean in and take responsibility for your own healing

We have a powerful episode for you today. Chris is fleshing out a framework inside our Ending Body Burnout Method called Where Are You Stuck? - designed to help you get clear on where you are right now, what’s keeping you looping, and what needs to shift so you can actually move forward.



What you don’t know, you can’t change. And if you’ve been feeling stuck in your healing (or stuck in the same patterns, symptoms, or emotional cycles), this framework will help you get unstuck and moving into the next steps in your healing.



This episode is also a loving call-out to stop being an ostrich with your head in the sand. If you’ve been avoiding the thing you know is keeping you stuck… it’s time to look up and get honest. Yes, it can feel risky. But with risk comes transformation - because growth always comes with a level of discomfort.



And if your heart is resonating with our style of holistic ROOT-root-cause healing & you are DONE with band-aid approaches and “managing” your symptoms and you are ready for real and long-lasting solutions, join the waitlist for our Ending Body Burnout Method (doors open again in June 2026).



Oh and PS if you'd like to learn more about our method we have a FREE Rewire Your Brain to Heal Your Body Burnout coaching week. That's going to be epic. We've had thousands of people attend so far in past sessions. Heaps of value packed inside the coaching workshops!



In today’s episode, Chris will help you:

Identify where, why and how you are stuck (so you can actually change it)

Why getting clear on your “Present State” is the fastest way to stop spinning in circles in your healing journey

How to get clear on where you are now, what you want to move away from, and what you want to move forward to

The real question most people avoid: what stops you from having what you want?

Why this work can feel “risky” — and why that’s often the exact doorway to transformation

How overwhelm keeps you stuck (and why trying to fix everything at once usually backfires)

How to recognise the most common reasons you’re stuck, including:

Challenges being too high; Unrealistic expectations; Distracted; Unresourceful state; No help / no support

As you may know by now, we are holding a transformative ending body burnout retreat experience in August 2026 - The Body Knows Retreat - at The Cove Tasmania (in North-West Tasmania). If you have been umming and ahhhing about attending, and not really sure if it would be worth your time, money and attention, today’s episode will help you to decide! We share our own experiences of attending multi-day retreats and putting on live in person events (some have had 100’s of people attend), and what we have found most transformative - and how they have changed our health and our lives for the better!



In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about:

Not all retreats are “transformational” and what differentiates this

A transformational retreat is an intentionally curated journey

The importance of entering a retreat experience with an intention

How the unconscious mind starts shifting the moment you say YES to yourself

Recognising if you’re running “space & time” scarcity

How carving out time for deep connection is essential for healing and maintaining a beautiful relationship with yourself

Surprising stats that demonstrate health benefits even years after a retreat

Why your body is craving meaningful connection with other humans, even if your conscious mind doesn’t know it

Why nature so deeply supports a human’s healing - it’s in our DNA
