Lets talk about sex baby! This episode is WILD... in the best possible way. We sit down with the incredible Chelsea Faye, a trauma-informed Kundalini Activation specialist who helps women around the world reconnect with their sexual energy and release stored trauma from the body.
Chelsea’s story is raw, magnetic, and deeply transformative. After working in the sex industry for nearly 14 years, she experienced a powerful spiritual awakening that changed the course of her life. Today, she supports others in reclaiming their inner power through body-based healing and energetic awakening. We highly recommend attending one of her workshops if you are in Melbourne or working with her 1:1. She also offers a facilitator training in Melbourne, Australia, for women who feel called to guide others in sensual embodiment and Kundalini activation.
We dive into:
The sex work industry
How trauma is stored in the body and how to release it
The power (and misunderstanding) of sexual energy
What it means to awaken the "wild woman" within and our sexual fantasies! (eeek)
Spiritual awakenings, identity shifts, and healing the nervous system
Chelsea’s honesty and radiant presence lit up the room. We hope you feel as inspired and expanded as we did.
Life Lessons from this episode:
✨ Your body holds the wisdom your mind can’t always access
✨ Healing doesn’t always look spiritual – sometimes it looks wild, raw, and real, YOUR MESS IS YOUR MESSAGE.
✨ You’re allowed to change paths, identities, and stories – especially when they no longer serve your soul.

Know Thy Hormones
Know the cycles, Know thy hormones, Know thy vagina! We have a fascinating conversation about honouring our cycles with Olivia Orchowski.
Olivia Orchowski: creator, CEO, and visionary behind KYRI. Olivia is a passionate advocate for body literacy, cyclical living, and hormone intelligence and in this episode, she brings the wisdom. SHE IS SO BADASS we are obsessed.
💬 In this Episode
We delve deep into:
How to understand and work with your cycle, not against it
The power of hormone awareness for physical and emotional wellbeing
What society gets wrong about menstruation.
Tools for tuning in to your body’s rhythms in a fast-paced world
🌿 Olivia shares her own journey and how that led to the creation of KYRI - a ring and app that empowers people to reconnect with their natural rhythms and have some control back!
💡 Life Lesson of the Week
When we honour our cycles, we step into deeper alignment with ourselves and that changes everything. Education is our first step, empowerment follows.
We loved this conversation and know you will too.

Life Lately: Chaos, Catch Ups and Car Crashes
This week on Life Academy, we hit pause on the big themes and take a moment to check in with each other (and with you). It’s a much-needed life update and brain dump, where nothing is too small, too big, too chaotic, or too TMI.
We debrief on everything from Dena’s recent car accident (she’s okay, but wow…) to Alicia’s ongoing house reno saga, to mum life highs and lows, and a bunch of little things in between. Think of this episode as a deep exhale for us, and hopefully for you too.
Whether you’re folding laundry, driving, or sneaking some solo time, settle in for a raw and real catch-up between two women navigating life’s lessons with a bit of humour and a lot of honesty.
In this episode:
🚗 Dena’s car accident and the spiritual ending.
🛠 Alicia’s never-ending house reno
👶 Mum life: mental loads, milestones & moments of madness
🧠 Our brain dumps: what's been on our minds lately
☕️ Catching up without an agenda and why that matters
