From Self-Doubt to Self-Trust: Reclaiming Your Whole Self with Gwen Yi

What happens when you stop trying to become someone else... and finally come home to yourself?

In this deeply moving conversation, I'm joined by astrologer, mentor and beautiful friend Gwen Yi, a former Comeback client whose journey over the last year has been nothing short of extraordinary.

When Gwen first came to me, she believed she needed more strategy, more structure and more certainty.

What she discovered instead was something far more powerful.

A return to her own body.

Her own authority.

Her own truth.

Together, we explore what it really means to trust yourself, release the identities you've outgrown, and stop outsourcing your wisdom to everyone else.

This is a conversation about sustainable power, the courage to evolve, and the profound freedom that comes when you stop performing who you think you should be and begin honouring who you've always been.

It's one of my favourite conversations we've ever recorded.

In this episode we explore:

• Why personal evolution often feels uncomfortable before it feels liberating

• The hidden cost of outsourcing your authority

• Learning to trust your body's wisdom instead of constantly overriding it

• Why slowing down can be the most powerful thing you'll ever do

• What it really means to be held in coaching and why true support creates sovereignty, not dependence

• The importance of integration after periods of massive growth

• Reclaiming past versions of yourself instead of feeling ashamed of them

• The difference between performing strength and embodying true power

• Why investing in yourself is often the first act of self-trust

• The beautiful moment Gwen realised she no longer needed to become someone else

In this episode of Meat & Monogamy, Liv is joined by one of her oldest and most beloved friends, Helen Wilkes, founder of The Collab in Sydney, yoga teacher, retreat leader and women’s power coach.

This is a conversation about women who were never built for small lives.

Liv and Helen speak about friendship, sisterhood, power, initiation, business, motherhood, and what it means to become a woman who can actually hold the life she has chosen. They share the origin story of a friendship forged in girlhood, rebellion, protection and being the ones who never quite fit the mould, and trace how that same thread has shaped the women they are now.

Helen shares the deeper roots of her work with power, from witnessing her mother’s journey, to moving across the world with no safety net, to opening her yoga studio, to supporting her partner through a life-altering illness and discovering a level of inner resource she could no longer deny.

And then, the invitation.

This summer, Liv will be joining Helen in Ibiza for Potentiate Your Power, Helen’s flagship retreat, running from 30th June to 6th July.

This is not a holiday with a bit of yoga.

This is a deeply held, high-touch retreat for powerful women who are already living big lives and are ready to be supported, expanded, nourished and met in the next layer of their becoming.

There will be yoga, embodiment, ancient energetics, deep facilitation, sisterhood, gorgeous food, spacious days, Ibiza magic, and one hell of a closing dance floor.

If you have been craving an in-person experience where you do not have to hold everything, perform, explain yourself, or do your growth alone, this episode is your invitation.

Two rooms remain.

You've thought about the cost of change. The discomfort, the uncertainty, the fear of getting it wrong. But have you ever really looked at what staying is costing you?

In this episode Liv breaks down the hidden invoice of not changing. The one that doesn't come with a number, doesn't announce itself, but quietly debits from your clarity, your self-trust, your energy, and your time.

Through real life examples of women choosing the familiar over the true, Liv reframes the question from "can I afford to change?" to "can I actually afford not to?"

This episode is for you if you're circling something. A decision, a pattern, a relationship, a version of yourself you've outgrown. And you keep telling yourself it's safer to stay.

It isn't. It's just a different kind of expensive.
