Meet Asha, Founder of State of grace Collective.

When success on paper doesn't translate to inner peace, sometimes the universe guides us toward unexpected paths of healing. This was certainly true for Asha Robinson, whose personal wellness journey began in 2014 amidst a paradox of external success and internal turmoil.

The Awakening.
Despite having what many would consider a perfect life, Asha found herself grappling with an inexplicable emptiness. As an empath, she experienced the weight of surrounding energies intensely, leading to debilitating sleep paralysis, insomnia, and declining mental health. Yet, this dark period became the catalyst for profound transformation.

Through discovering Reiki, Magnified Healing, and various energy-healing modalities, Asha not only found her way back to balance but discovered her true calling. Her journey led her to master numerous healing practices, working with crystals and frequencies to help others achieve energetic harmony.

In 2024, a Gaia podcast introduced Asha to the Harmonic Egg, a revolutionary healing technology that would become her next chapter. After experiencing its profound effects in New Zealand, she became Australia's first Harmonic Egg Guardian, launching Harmonic Egg Wellness in Melbourne.

Meet Jane, Your Holistic Family Lawyer.

When relationships end, the legal process can feel cold and clinical, often overlooking the deep emotional journey that accompanies separation. Jane, a uniquely qualified family lawyer with dual expertise in law and counselling, is transforming this experience for her clients.

"Legal proceedings are just one piece of the separation puzzle," Jane often reminds her clients. Her practice stands apart by weaving together expert legal guidance with emotional support, creating a safe haven where clients can address both the practical and personal aspects of their transition.

What sets Jane's approach apart is her deep understanding that every separation story is unique. Whether she's helping clients navigate property settlements or sensitive children's matters, she brings both her legal expertise and counselling background to each interaction. This dual perspective allows her to spot when clients might need additional emotional support, seamlessly connecting them with trusted wellness professionals who can provide specialized care.

For those embarking on new relationships, Jane's holistic approach proves equally valuable. She helps couples create thoughtful legal agreements that protect both parties while nurturing their emotional connection. "Building a strong foundation isn't just about legal documents," she explains. "It's about creating understanding and trust between partners."

Through her unique blend of legal prowess and emotional intelligence, Jane isn't just helping clients navigate legal transitions – she's guiding them toward healing and new beginnings. In her capable hands, the end of one chapter can truly become the conscious, empowered start of another.

In our latest episode of "Bend Like Bamboo," I had the pleasure of hosting David Goldsmith, a renowned executive coach and serial entrepreneur. Our conversation delved into the power of intuition in problem-solving and the crucial role of coaching in both personal and professional success.

The Intuitive Edge in Executive Coaching

David's approach to coaching is uniquely powerful, blending his vast experience as a global business leader with his remarkable intuitive gifts. He shared how this combination allows him to quickly identify core issues and opportunities that his executive clients might be overlooking.

"Intuition in business is about tapping into a deeper understanding of patterns and possibilities that aren't immediately obvious on the surface." David explained.

This intuitive approach enables David to guide his clients through setbacks with extraordinary speed and efficacy, whether they're facing challenges in their personal lives or in the boardroom. We talked about my experience working with David and how we identified a block that was out of my awareness after he saw me speaking at an event. Working with David helped me to release this which led to a big shift in my coaching practice at work.Learn more about Be Well in the podcast and live video on YouTube below.

David and Jan's Journey: From Heart Attack to Health Empowerment

David and Jan Owen faced a life-changing moment when David suffered a heart attack.

As they embraced healthier habits, they identified a need for accessible wellness solutions. This vision led to the creation of Be Well, a community-driven initiative designed to help individuals prevent health issues and redefine aging. Their mission is clear: to empower people to achieve lifelong health and well-being.

At Be Well, the goal is to ensure members wake up feeling rested and energised, ready to embrace each day. Jan and David invite you to join their movement, prioritising health and wellness for a vibrant future. Your journey to lasting well-being starts now!

To Bend Like Bamboo is to be flexible in our mindset, and when we can transform our ‘story’ we can also change our minds about what can be possible in our minds, bodies, and lives. Jan Owen, co-founder of Be Well and I had a live chat at their HQ. Together we dove into the power of Kinesiology, its ability to get to the cause of stress that is unique to us all. On my own journey as a patient diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at age 24, had to rebuild my mind, body and life after an attack paralysed me at age 29.

On this journey, I learned about the power of our minds and how a shift in perception can also alter our biochemistry. With a more flexible mindset, we can re-imagine possibility. Managing our stress levels can adapt, and we can reframe the old stories we can become addicted to that impact our health and how we show up in the world.

Matt Rowe, Founder of Identity of Health, Ep 46.

Matt Rowe is the Author of Belief to Heal, a Certified Health Coach, meditation and Reiki practitioner, TEDx speaker, and father of two.

Matt and I both believe that the best way to optimise healing in the body is to take an integrated approach that addresses the multiple moving parts that lead to well-being.

In this podcast Matt and I explore the pillars of health of the mind, body, food and connection. Our ability to open our hearts is integral in allowing the nervous system to let go of our addiction to the fight/flight/freeze response.

When we can choose love and joy despite adversities, we can also optimise growth and repair pathways that allow us to heal.

Addressing our energy and stress levels that impact it is also the main topic of conversation in my podcast this month.

“Amanda shares her story of resilience and possibility, inspiring those diagnosed with MS to rise using their own power of mindset and belief to be the person they have always desired. If you want something more in your life, this book is a must-read giving you the power and tools to remain flexible on your journey of recovery!”

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Dr Terry Wahls, Clinical Professor of Medicine Ep 45.
Amanda Campbell Amanda Campbell

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Dr Terry Wahls, Clinical Professor of Medicine Ep 45.

Dr Terry Wahls, why reducing stress and increasing nutrients matter for MS and autoimmune disease Ep 45.

Dr. Terry Wahls practices internal medicine and treats psychiatric patients at the VA in Iowa City Iowa.  In the year 2000, she was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

Wahls went from moving around on a scooter to walking with canes to walking out of her wheelchair to riding a bicycle eighteen miles without assistance. Today, Dr. Wahls has recovered, she walks, bike rides with her family, and actively shares with the world how she is doing what people with secondary progressive MS don't do -  and that is recovering.

In her first book “Minding your Mitochondria” she explains how those little maintenance workers don't have all the proper nutrients, like amino acids, the correct minerals, and fatty acids, then they can't build according to the DNA blueprints.  Those nutrients are the building blocks that mitochondria in our cells need to keep our bodies healthy.  If those replacement molecules and structures get made incorrectly or not at all, our bodies begin to deteriorate.

That led to her creating “The Wahls Protocol” a nutrition program that I followed with great success when I was also in a wheelchair and paralysed. When I began to learn how to flood my brain and gut with the right nutrients, the game literally changed for my recovery. My symptoms began to subside, alone life changing. I began to feel better mentally and emotionally, physically I walked faster, and I began to jog. In 2010 did my first MS Fun Run with MS Limited Australia and it has been a yearly tradition since.

Naturally, I had to meet this amazing woman.

In this podcast Dr Terry Wahls and I talk about the impact stress, mindset and nutrition have on repairing autoimmune disease, get your tissues as we go deep and we get emotional. Her story is incredible and she will inspire you with hope that it is possible to make a recovery happen against all odds.

He has signed dup 26 speakers that will share their stories, knowledge and tips over 2 weeks. When you sign up you get to learn form two speakers as day to gain from their wisdom and inspiration - amazing!

Matt believes that resilience is about finding out own way & purpose. Knowing how to to listen to our own truth vs. other voices of authority that may not be open to what can be possible for your recovery. To be resilient is to be flexible, to bounce back. Just like a tree builds its resilience from being pushed in the wind, we also build our resilience from the adversities that life throws at us. Matt believes that our strength comes through times of adversity, not from things being handed to us or ease.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Tobie Puttock, celebrity chef, and founder of Made by Tobie, Ep 39.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Tobie Puttock, celebrity chef, and founder of Made by Tobie, Ep 39.

Our ability to be kind to ourselves and to others builds resilience.

Tobie believes that resilience is not only our ability to keep going, but also our ability to recover from a difficult time, how we deal with our emotions, and how we process this is the important part.

I loved interviewing Tobie, he shares a passion for mine to make sustainable, ethical, and nutrient-dense foods more accessible to eat. His resume is extraordinary and he has accomplished so much as a chef and entrepreneur.

How does Tobie destress and reset? “I do this with meditation and yoga because it helps me to step away from things, to create a clear mindset so that I can be more solution focused. It is with this mindset, that I can create more of a structure to delegate and problem solve,” says Tobie.

Tobie Puttock began his cooking career at Melbourne’s Cafe e Cucina, before traveling to picturesque Lake Como, Italy to work at the beautiful Hotel Florence. After years of perfecting his culinary skills, Tobie travelled to the UK to work at the famous River Café, cooking alongside a young Jamie Oliver, who shared his passion for simply cooked Italian food and became a close friend.

Tobie returned to Melbourne, Australia in 2000 after further stints in Italy and Switzerland, to set up restaurant ‘Termini’.

In 2002 his old mate Jamie presented him with a new challenge – to return to the UK to become Head Chef of the first Fifteen Restaurant, a social enterprise to teach under-privileged youths to become chefs in a gourmet environment.

Tobie seized the opportunity and was instrumental in helping Fifteen, London achieves its status as ‘Tatler's - Restaurant of the Year' in 2003.

In 2005, Tobie returned home to Melbourne to establish Australia’s own Fifteen Restaurant and Charitable Foundation. Opening in September 2006, Tobie continued Jamie and the Fifteen Foundation’s work - giving 15-20 under privileged Australian youths each year the opportunity, training, and support to become qualified chefs.

Tobie’s honest, light-hearted approach and passion for topics such as organics, sustainability, seasonality, and ethical eating, has seen him in high demand as a guest on some of Australia’s favourite television programs, The Circle, Good Morning Australia and Ready Steady Cook as well as writing for Australian titles such as Good Taste Magazine, Delicious and Sunday Life.

Tobie also appears regularly at major food events around Australia including the Good Food and Wine Show, Organic Expo, Great Barrier Feast and The Gluten Free Expo.

Since returning to Melbourne, Tobie has featured in the Channel 10 hit series, Jamie’s Kitchen Australia (2006) and Lifestyle’s FOOD TV series, Tobie and Matt - Europe and Asia (2008), several years as a Guest Judge with Channel 7’s ratings hit My Kitchen Rules, co-hosting ‘Wonderful Indonesia Flavours’ Season One and Two for the Asian Food Chanel (2015). and most recently The Healthy Cooks in 2020 on Channel 9.

Tobie has written and released five best selling cookbooks, Daily Italian (2006), Italian Local (2008), Cook like an Italian (2010) The Chef Gets Healthy (2015) and Super Natural (2018) which sees Tobie take a new direction toward plant based eating with a balanced lifestyle.

He has also created a series of short format video cook eBooks that are available via iTunes in 25 countries.

In 2013 after over 20 years in restaurants Tobie turned his focus to several new and exciting projects including a YouTube channel. He also worked closely with Jamie and Woolworths on an online video series ‘Jamie’s Table’.

Tobie has consulted for many companies and groups such as Jamie’s Italian Australia, Jamie’s Ministry of Food as a consulting creative director, Prahran Market in Melbourne and has been a proud ambassador to Jamie’s Ministry of Food Australia and Prahran Market. As well as these ongoing roles Tobie has featured in major campaigns for Heinz, Woolworths, Fisher & Paykel, National Australia Bank, Oliana foods and many more.

Tobie’s most recent focus is his own brand of frozen ready meals. “Made by Tobie” are single serve ready meals that started as something he made for friends during the continuous lockdowns in his hometown of Melbourne.

With years of experience developing recipes Tobie has launched a direct to consumer model through the Made by Tobie website. Meals are sold in packs of ready meals catering for plant based, pescatarian and meat eaters with a focus on producing meals that aren’t harmful to us or the environment. The meals are sold frozen to eliminate food waste and are sold in garden compostable packaging.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Shane Boyd, resilience coach, and entrepreneur, Ep 38.

How to swing the pendulum from fear to faith?

Meet Shane Boyd, resilience coach, and entrepreneur. Shane believes that resilience is the ability to have physical, mental, and spiritual resilience - which is our ability to switch from fear into faith, within ourselves, in the universe, and with others.

It is our ability to pause and create space before we react and make a decision. “I call it the next organic step, not pushing too hard in one direction that is often led by the analytical mind but drawing from our gut and intuition as well. This space is what resilience means to me,” says Shane.

Shane believes that resilience is the ability to enable young people to have a voice, to build their inner resilience to be able to say no. To understand that it is ok to make a mistake, and to be kinder to ourselves.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Tanya Lopez, Event strategist for entrepreneurs, Ep 37.

How do you create a vision for your future, instead of your past?

Meet Tanya Lopez. As an event strategist and experience designer, Tanya weaves magic, connection, and beauty into the way we gather.

Tanya was the head of events for Mindvalley and Creative Director for A-fest, which she scaled globally.

Prior to event production, Tanya was a communications and marketing exec for companies like Nike and NBC-Universal.

From high-end masterminds in Bali to spiritual adventure retreats, and transformational coaching containers, Tanya loves to work with heart-centered, impact-driven entrepreneurs to create profitable experiences. She does that by helping her clients build their brands, business, and communities.

Tanya's mission is to bring more beauty, connection, and expansion into the world through transformational experiences.

As a certified coach, she works one-on-one with female entrepreneurs to create an intentional and soul-aligned life and business merging purpose, profit, and passion.

“ While head of Mindvalley events, Tanya’s leadership, vision, and creativity helped make A-Fest THE personal growth and entrepreneurship conference to attend — described as an epic “Burning Man meets TedX” event, Tanya always brought the WOW factor that left guests awed and talking about their experience for years. With a sharp business sense and strategic vision, she also led efforts in scaling and growing A-Fest by expanding to Asia and Europe — all while receiving off-the-charts feedback and ratings, significantly growing profits and revenue, and helping to create and nurturing a global Tribe. Over our many years of working together, I’ve come to trust Tanya to create simply amazing events and experiences that take people through a deep journey and create lasting impact and transformation.”

Vishen Lakhiani, NYT Best-Selling Author, CEO, and Founder of Mindvalley

Tanya is gorgeous and has had an incredible career. This interview really inspired me to remember to trust. These are the moments that matter when we are faced with uncertainty and do not know what is coming next. Who we are in these moments is what matters. Whether we are humming along in life and it seems to be in our control, or if we are faced with an ending and a total rebuild, in reality, Tanya says that we never really know what is coming next.

So true! All we have is the present moment, and to find joy in that, the most creative and productive state we can be in.

What does resilience mean to Tanya? “Getting back up when life knocks us down. Finding that anchor within ourselves, that inner knowing that reminds us that we are ok. This part of us can be inaccessible at times” says Tanya. Today I learned how Tanya goes about evoking this state within herself that has helped her to rebuild her business and life, after having a career in live events prior to Covid.

The Bend Like Bamboo Resilience Show: Marcel Lal, CEO APAC for InXpress Ep 36.

In this interview, I chat with Ihsan about what causes stress, and together we discuss topics that are often not thought of or dismissed.

Stress is a response that is important, it keeps us out of danger and alive. This is why it is our most dominant program, over rest and repair. Ihsan and I have both noticed that in our personal experience and also when treating clients, we want to get to the bottom of what is causing stress for them, and it is a unique and individual experience.

Examples include: a toxic environment or relationships, medications, accidents, trauma, grief and loss, illness, and pain. Drinking too much coffee, poor diet, and a lack of exercise, these factors are all more obvious causes of stress.

The less obvious factors and experiences that can be causing stress can be very emotional.

When we are tired, stressed, and anxious we tend to overthink the future, and become stuck in the past, living on autopilot. This impacts our ability to be at our best, at home, at work, and within our relationships.

It is a mindset - and when you are stressed, tired, and feel disengaged, you may feel there is no way out.

In this blog and podcast learn what could be causing you stress, and what you can do about it.
