Unlocking Body Intelligence for more Connection & Presence
Ever been asked how you feel or what you need, only to realise you’re completely unsure of what you really need, or why you feel the way you do? I've been there!In this episode of Real World Wellness, we dive into the quiet superpower that can shift all of that: body intelligence.This isn’t about fitness trackers, weight, or how strong you are. It’s about the subtle, felt-sense knowing inside of you - your inner GPS as I like to call it. It’s something that modern life has taught us to override. But we’re reclaiming it!Together we explore:✨ What body intelligence really is (and why it matters) ✨ The hidden cost of ignoring your body’s wisdom ✨ How emotions live and speak through your body ✨ A step-by-step practice to tune in and respond to what you’re feeling ✨ Simple, real-world ways to reconnect with your body every dayI’ll also share my own story of disconnection, numbing, and the transformation that came from finally reconnecting to my body- and how you can begin that reconnection right now.This is an invitation to pause, breathe, and come home to yourself. I hope you love it. Podcast link in bio - subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen!Big love, A

Resistance is not the Enemy! With Rebekah Ballagh
If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck, or like you’re “getting in your own way,” this conversation will help you see that maybe, just maybe, you’ve been protecting yourself in the most human way possible… and that your resistance might be the very doorway to your next level of healing.In this powerful episode of the Real World Wellness Podcast, I sit down with the wonderful Rebekah Ballagh from Journey to Wellness to explore a truth that might just change the way you meet yourself in your healing journey. That truth? Resistance isn’t the enemy.In this chat, we dive into why resistance shows up in the body - often as a loyal protector rather than a saboteur through the lens of parts work - and together we unpack its deeper role in keeping us safe. We also consider how, when we stop suppressing it, letting it take over, or trying to “fix” it, something beautiful happens. When we can meet our resistance with curiosity and compassion we are loving ourselves into wholeness. If you’re ready to learn how to work with resistance to unlock more freedom, self-trust, and wholeness, rather than to “fix” it or shove it down, then this episode will help lead you home to that truth. #realworldwellnesspodcast #realworldwellness #wellnesspodcast #alternativehealthpodcast #wellnesscoach #lifecoach #rebekahballagh #alexballagh #nzwellnesspodcast Previous episode with Rebekah Ballagh: Somatic Therapies for AnxietyRebekah’s WebsiteRebekah’s Instagram

Easy VS Easeful Wellness - What's The Difference?
The internet is full of quick hacks and simple "wins" to help us look and feel better. We live in a world that glorifies 'easy' and “instant results” - but what if the real magic of wellness isn’t in what's easy ... but in what’s easeful?In today’s episode, we’re unpacking the difference between easy and easeful wellness - and why that difference could be the key to finally feeling grounded, energised, and well - in your own rhythm.We’ll talk about why “easy” wellness is so tempting, what “easeful” really looks like in the real world, and how you can start weaving more calm, intention, and sustainability into your day - without adding more to your to-do list.So if you’ve been craving a slower, softer, and more supportive approach to wellness, you’re in the right place my friend To connect, join me on Instagram, LinkedIn, or visit my website here
