Do you feel like you're doing all the right things to achieve your goals, but something still feels out of reach?
In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most powerful forces shaping your reality: self-concept... the beliefs, identity and subconscious stories you hold about who you are and what you’re capable of.
Whether it’s in your career, your relationships, your confidence, or your ability to attract aligned opportunities, your self-concept is influencing everything. And if it’s outdated or misaligned, no amount of hustle or positive thinking will create lasting change.
Inside this episode:
✨ What self-concept actually is and why it matters
✨ How subconscious beliefs silently sabotage your goals
✨ Signs you're still operating from an old identity
✨ The personal shifts I’ve made that changed everything
✨ How to start rewriting your identity and becoming the version of you who has it allIf you’ve been manifesting, journaling and doing “the work” but not seeing the results you expected, this episode will show you where your power really lies.
This is the inner work that creates outer transformation.
Let’s shift your self-concept and elevate your reality.✨ Free private podcast episode: Unlocking the Version of You Who Has It All : https://statusaligned.myflodesk.com/privateepisode

Today’s guest is the brilliant and bold Sydney Graves, known online as @ukmidwife_down_under, whose journey from being told she “wouldn’t amount to much” to building a dream life across the world is nothing short of powerful.
In this episode, we explore how Sydney went from struggling in school and being underestimated, to becoming a midwife in the UK, landing her dream hospital job, and eventually leaving it all behind to move to Australia and start over.
After documenting her relocation journey online, Sydney’s following grew rapidly, leading her to pivot from her midwifery career into full-time content creation, travel and helping others relocate to Australia. Along the way, she overcame limiting beliefs, leaned into personal growth and even manifested many of the things she once hid on a vision board.
We chat about:✨ How negative labels in childhood shaped (and motivated) her journey✨ Landing her dream job as a UK midwife, then choosing to leave it✨ Moving to Australia and starting over from scratch✨ Building a personal brand and growing a social media following✨ Her evolving relationship with manifestation and mindset work✨ What she’s learned about alignment, risk and trusting the process

Today’s guest is living proof that when you shift your mindset, take aligned action, and open yourself to new possibilities... everything can change, FAST.
Keziah Loewen was working full-time as a physiotherapist and juggling a side hustle in property management when she realised something needed to shift. Craving time and financial freedom, she took a leap and joined my 6-week 1:1 intensive mentoring program. What happened next was nothing short of incredible.
In just six weeks, Keziah 10x’d her business, reduced her physio days, and shortly after achieved goals she once thought would take years to achieve. But more than the external wins, it’s the deep internal shifts around self-doubt, mindset, and owning her potential that truly changed her path.
In this episode, we dive into:✨ The story behind Keziah’s pivot from employee to entrepreneur
✨ How one book (Rich Dad Poor Dad) cracked open a new way of thinking
✨ The mindset work that helped her get out of her own way
✨ The power of acting before you feel “ready”If you’re sitting on big dreams but doubting your ability to make them happen, this one is for you.

What if the life detours, setbacks, and unexpected changes in your life were actually leading you somewhere better?
We often have a vision for how life should unfold, but sometimes, the path we planned isn’t the one we’re meant to take. In this episode, I’m diving into the power of redirection and how moments of uncertainty, failure, or unexpected change can be the catalyst for growth, purpose, and success.
In this conversation, I explore:
✨ Why redirection often leads to something even greater than your original plan
✨ Real-life examples of people who turned setbacks into their biggest breakthroughs
✨ How to trust the process when life feels uncertain
✨ Signs that you’re being nudged toward a new path
✨ The mindset shift that makes navigating change easierIf you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure about where life is taking you, this episode is for you. Because sometimes, the best things happen when you least expect them.
Affirmations to help shift your mindset around life redirections (take what resonates):
I trust that every redirection is leading me to something greater. I am open to new opportunities, even when they come unexpectedly. I release the need to control and embrace the flow of life. What is meant for me will never pass my by. The unknown holds infinite possibilities for my highest good.Watch on YouTube:
