Georgie, co-founder of Six Ways, shares her journey from struggling with PCOS and celiac disease to creating a functional mushroom and wellness brand that helps people find balance in their health journeys.
• Six Ways started after Georgie's frustration with traditional medical approaches to PCOS
• Her doctor told her "you will never heal your PCOS through diet and lifestyle alone" which motivated her to find alternative solutions
• Functional mushrooms and adaptogens helped manage stress, which has strong links to hormonal health
• The first product was a sleep blend mixing cacao powder with reishi mushroom and ashwagandha
• Building a business revealed personal challenges around perfectionism and control
• Initially hesitant to share her personal health story as part of the brand
• Now available in Holland & Barrett stores nationwide with a new hydration range
• Female founders face unique challenges including investment disparities and gender bias
• The brand name "Six Ways" comes from an idiom meaning to do something thoroughly and completely

I'm exploring my dislike for the word resilience and making the case for using "agility" instead. Most people who describe themselves as resilient mean they'll be strong, take anything thrown at them, and weather any storm—regardless of whether they're thriving or barely holding it together.
• The problem with resilience is it's built around "toughening up," getting through suffering, and surviving rather than thriving
• We're meant to grow, adapt, and expand—not brace ourselves with an armored exterior unable to soften or ask for help
• Burnout often comes from being tired of putting on a front, keeping your guard up, and overextending yourself
• Agility means feeling our feelings, softening when needed, taking breaks, and being honest in communication
• Building capacity to navigate life's challenges means learning to move through emotions without collapsing or repressing them
• Shame around weakness keeps us in loops—affecting our vulnerability, communication, and ability to receive help
• When you lack emotional and cognitive agility, you get stuck in identity, old behaviors, and limiting stories
• True strength isn't about enduring more but about building clarity, self-trust, and flexibility in thinking and feeling
• The "strong one" identity may have gotten you far, but it often costs you in intimacy, freedom, passion, and energy for life
• Sometimes the biggest risk is simply being yourself—softening, accepting support, and letting go of handling everything alone

Our energy and nervous system drive our behavior far more than the values we claim to hold, creating a disconnect between what we say matters and where we actually spend our time and focus.
• Stated values often contradict actual behaviors due to unconscious safety mechanisms
• Nervous system creates safety behaviors based on past experiences that worked for survival
• High achievers typically oscillate between wounded masculine energy (pushing, controlling) and wounded feminine energy (avoiding, self-doubt)
• Fight/flight/freeze responses consume enormous energy compared to the connected "green zone"
• Looking at behaviors through lens of safety rather than judgment creates compassion
• Rewiring requires building capacity for new energy states through small, consistent actions
• Safety-building practices include creating space in schedules, somatic work, and sensory activities
• When nervous system feels safe, masculine energy leads with presence (not control) and feminine energy flows with trust
• Identity shifts when no longer operating from survival patterns
• Becoming more connected to your body creates ripple effects of compassion for self and others

We explore the unwritten rules and conditioning that shape our behaviors and identities without our conscious consent. Most of us play life by rules we never agreed to, continuously diminishing ourselves to appear more acceptable to others and overextending in the hope of winning approval.
• The invisible conditioning we absorb through everyday experiences shapes our limitations and sense of belonging
• No matter how you show up in life, someone will perceive you as too much or not enough
• Self-development involves pausing to examine the parts of yourself you're avoiding
• Burnout often stems from exhaustion with performance, not tasks
• True growth means burning down the game of constant adjustment and performance
• Becoming "better" means increasing your capacity to be authentically yourself, not optimizing to external standards
• The freedom comes from knowing who you are beneath social expectations and trends

Is it possible that we've been misleading ourselves about life's single, straightforward purpose? Join me as I challenge this notion and open a conversation about embracing life's unpredictability and complexity. Reflecting on the film "Wicked," we weave through themes of legacy, love, and personal meaning, asking what truly defines our contributions to the human narrative. Together, we ponder why struggles are often more comfortable to share than triumphs and how that shapes our connections with others.
Curiosity stands as a guiding force in this exploration, prompting us to question traditional perceptions of love and suffering. As we navigate this complex landscape, I suggest that love, far from a source of pain, has the power to dissolve suffering and bring profound joy. Each chapter of this episode encourages embracing curiosity as a core value, one that fuels creativity and shapes our understanding of purpose. As we wrap up the year, I express heartfelt gratitude for your engagement and hint at more thought-provoking journeys ahead. Let's continue learning, unlearning, and finding joy in the unique experiences that define our lives.If you've enjoyed this episode, please leave me a review and subscribe!

What if your worth isn't just tied to how much you can do for others? Join me as we unravel the belief that we must keep everything together or risk it all falling apart.

Ever felt like you're hitting a brick wall when trying to use logic to solve emotional problems? You're not alone. Many of us have been conditioned to lean on logic, yet emotions don’t abide by the same rules. We explore how childhood stories of self-worth create emotional blocks that logic alone can't dismantle. By learning to embrace and process emotions, we can transform these blocks into breakthroughs, moving toward true self-acceptance and shedding the illusion of being broken.
Facing resistance and fear when striving for important goals is a common struggle. But instead of pushing harder, Wendy suggests a different approach: pause and observe the emotions that surface. Shifting focus from productivity to curiosity about our desires allows for personal growth. This episode invites you to sit with your feelings without judgment and see what unfolds. As always, Wendy encourages listeners to engage with these insights, sharing them with others who might benefit from a deeper understanding of themselves.
