In a special Christmas episode for 2022, past and upcoming guests come together in a panel to share what Christmas means to them, what being on the show has meant and the change they've created since. Guest panel includes Lucy Wood, Lori Hoover and Shivany Gonell.

This episode contains discussion on sexual assault and rape. If you find this subject triggering or you yourself have experienced sexual assault or rape and need help, call 1800 RESPECT (737732). A sexual assault advocate, writer, public speaker and artist, Marnie Goodfriend's activism spans over two decades. She is the founder of Write To Healing, a movement to help sexual assault survivors reauthor their experience through the written word. She has worked with the Silence Breakers, Mariska Hargitay’s Joyful Heart Foundation, USC's Violence Intervention Program, Peace Over Violence, and changemakers including Rosanna Arquette and Rose McGowan. During our conversation, Marnie and I discussed the power of writing and how it can heal and uncover what’s holding us back in trauma - regardless of what happened.

Monique Jose has spent the past 20+ years studying alternative healing methods. She has always had a love for natural healing methods and has spent many years receiving healing from her holistic chiropractor and her doctor, trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Trapped emotions and other energetic imbalances resonated with Monique so deeply. She knew that trauma from difficult experiences and situations were trapped in her body causing a variety of symptoms! Now she found the way to release these energies causing her problems and everyone else she knew! Becoming an Certified Emotion Code Practitioner and Certified Body Code Practitioner made perfect sense. Through our conversation, Monique and I were on the same page when it came to reading energy and healing energetic imbalances to experience freedom from trauma, anxiety and other physical and emotional conditions.

Her education in biotechnology and medical sciences spans Harvard University, The Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Southern California. She is academically-published, with over 1,000 indexed citations in the fields of orthopedics, oncology, and neuroscience. It was an absolute joy to sit down with Leah and get lost in the fascinating world of science and as a fellow science lover, I am pretty sure we could have talked all day. Leah makes learning about our universe, our bodies and science in general fun, super cool and easy to understand.

At the age of 23 Danielle Matthews was hit by a drunk driver and sustained a life-altering injury to her brain. The medical world said there was no hope of recovery & told her to accept this life as her “new normal”. Although her body was physically impaired, her spirit was strong & she refused to believe their diagnoses. Her mind was determined to recover…and she did! Through the power of what she refers to as ‘Mind Control,’ she attracted the mindset, techniques, and exact quantum healing technologies needed to fully recover. She has since built an international business, authored an e-book called 'Mind Control' and shares her life-altering experience with countless people around the globe. Danielle and I connected on a very high vibrational level and no doubt you can hear that in our conversation. With such similar experience in overcoming adversity and harnessing the power of our minds, we are both being the change we want to see in the world.

Lynne Bowman is the glam granny that knows how to get you to eat your veges! There is enormous power in resetting your relationship with food, taking control of your health, strength, mindset and mood. But why take cooking or health advice from a snarky grandma who isn’t a reality TV star or a doctor, and doesn’t particularly like to cook? Here's why: diagnosed more than thirty years ago, Lynne is living proof that you can cook, eat, sleep, laugh, and walk your way out of type 2 diabetes, along with other chronic ailments, just like in her latest book, “Brownies for Breakfast, A Cookbook for Diabetics and the People Who Love Them,". With a background as an award winning creative director, advertising manager, actress, makeup artist, screenwriter, illustrator and tv weather person, Lynne has so much wisdom and laughs to share and is the granny we all need in our lives.

On April 16, 2009, Kim Hamer watched her 44-yr-old husband take his last breath. During his illness and after his death, she was amazed by the helpful ways their coworkers, bosses, friends, and family supported them. Kim started calling their kind actions "acts of love." After the death of her husband, Kim, a HR leader, noticed that managers received no guidance when navigating cancer or death on their teams. She set out to change that. Combining her personal experience with her professional knowledge and leadership skills, Kim launched 100 Acts of Love, a consultancy that provides tools to help leaders increase team productivity, trust, and engagement when cancer affects the whole team member. She is also the author of 100 Acts of Love: A Girlfriend's Guide to Loving Your Friend through Cancer or Loss. Kim and I both know we were destined to meet, this was most certainly not by chance - the universe knew exactly what it was doing. You may not notice it, but both of us were on the verge of tears a few times in this episode, so we both hope it helps someone out there.

“Everyone has a plan, until they get punched in the face”. Tiffanee Cook has learned this as a business woman, performance coach and boxer; from the comfort, predictability and safety provided by the corporate world, to the lessons and let-downs in and out of the boxing ring. Coming to the realisation that, in order to have one’s hand raised in triumph, adversity, discomfort and combat must be navigated. In the face of the messiness of life, do we fight or do we flee? Meeting Tiff was like meeting a long lost sister and we could have talked all day - she has a way of bringing out my sense of humour and connecting on the things that matter.
