The Best of The Wellness Collective | The First Half of 2026

<p>I&#39;m taking a short break (yes, I&#39;m finally practising what I preach!), but before I go, I wanted to put together something special. This episode is a collection of some of my favourite moments from the podcast over the past few months. The conversations that made me think, challenged the way I see health, and clearly resonated with so many of you.</p><p>You&#39;ll hear highlights from some incredible guests including Pete Evans, David the Medium, Olivia Arezzolo, and Stacey Sims. Together, we explore everything from spirituality and science to menopause, sleep, fasting, and the simple lifestyle changes that can have the biggest impact on your health.</p><p>Whether you&#39;ve listened to every episode or you&#39;re new to the podcast, I hope this gives you a taste of the conversations that continue to shape the way we think about wellness.</p><p>I&#39;ll be back soon with brand-new episodes. Until then, enjoy some of our best moments.</p><p><strong>🌿 What You&#39;ll Learn in This Episode:</strong></p><p>✅ Why science and spirituality don&#39;t have to be at odds</p><p>✅ The lifestyle habits that support healthy aging</p><p>✅ Why menopause is about more than hormones</p><p>✅ How better sleep starts with understanding your body</p><p>✅ The healing power of nature and slowing down</p><p>✅ Some of the biggest takeaways from our most-loved episodes</p><p><strong>📌 Chapters (Jump to your favorite part!):</strong></p><p>00:00 - A Quick Holiday Update</p><p>01:35 - David the Medium: Science &amp; Spirituality</p><p>06:52 - Stacey Sims: Menopause &amp; Lifestyle</p><p>08:41 - Pete Evans: Retreats &amp; Fasting</p><p>11:08 - Olivia Arezzolo: Why Women Wake at 3am</p><p>🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes on self-care, healing, and empowerment!</p><p><strong>Links to Each Episodes:</strong></p><p><strong>YouTube</strong></p><p><strong>David The Medium: </strong><a href="https://youtu.be/XumNKRtCC-I"><u>https://youtu.be/XumNKRtCC-I</u></a></p><p><strong>Stacy Sims: </strong><a href="https://youtu.be/pgeF9orANVQ"><u>https://youtu.be/pgeF9orANVQ</u></a></p><p><strong>Pete Evans:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/bY51iziHdf4"><u>https://youtu.be/bY51iziHdf4</u></a></p><p><strong>Olivia Arezzolo:</strong> <a href="https://youtu.be/R1yhvIMJAFg"><u>https://youtu.be/R1yhvIMJAFg</u></a> </p><p><strong>Apple Podcasts:</strong></p><p><strong>David The Medium: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/can-you-really-talk-to-the-dead-david-the-medium/id1319159211?i=1000760368889"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/can-you-really-talk-to-the-dead-david-the-medium/id1319159211?i=1000760368889</u></a> </p><p><strong>Stacy Sims: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/women-are-not-small-men-dr-stacy-sims-on-the-myths/id1319159211?i=1000738478736"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/women-are-not-small-men-dr-stacy-sims-on-the-myths/id1319159211?i=1000738478736</u></a> </p><p><strong>Pete Evans: </strong><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-simple-shifts-that-can-transform-your-health-pete-evans/id1319159211?i=1000761218038"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-simple-shifts-that-can-transform-your-health-pete-evans/id1319159211?i=1000761218038</u></a> </p><p><strong>Olivia Arezzolo:</strong> <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/why-youre-still-tired-even-after-sleeping-olivia-arezzolo/id1319159211?i=1000767508386"><u>https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/why-youre-still-tired-even-after-sleeping-olivia-arezzolo/id1319159211?i=1000767508386</u></a> </p><p><strong>Spotify:</strong></p><p><strong>David The Medium: </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/70C8ksFU5z9R8g6q79De0d?si=fa85e38c0bc04406"><u>https://open.spotify.com/episode/70C8ksFU5z9R8g6q79De0d?si=fa85e38c0bc04406</u></a> </p><p><strong>Stacy Sims: </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/2zk8b6RiDcHEvILgNxsnKH?si=63d3df83737246d0"><u>https://open.spotify.com/ep
