Inner Voice of Knowing

What happens when you stop performing your purpose and start living it? In this episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, I sit with Adam Thompson — frontman of Chocolate Starfish, founder of MusoMagic, and a man who has spent years walking into some of the most remote Indigenous communities in Australia, sitting with children and elders through presence, not performance. This is not a typical conversation. This is a transmission. Adam shares the moment a healer asked him a question that dismantled the identity he had built and revealed a deeper truth. His purpose was never just to perform — it was to lift people higher. We speak into what it means to earn trust without credentials. Returning year after year. Showing up without agenda. Letting presence speak louder than words. Listening becomes something deeper here. Not a skill, but a way of being. Listening to yourself. To the land. To what lives beneath the silence. Adam also shares the deeply personal decision he and his wife Mel made around parenthood, recognising that the children already in their lives through their work in community were the path they were here to walk. This is a meeting between two worlds. The one you are seen in, and the one you know you belong to. His song The Promise was born from the moment he realised he had stopped hearing the voice of the boy he once was. It is a return. A remembering. A declaration that he is enough. If you have ever felt the tension between who you are known as and who you know yourself to be, this episode will meet you there.

“Replace judgement with curiosity.” In this episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, I sit down with the Co-Founder and CEO of Mud Organics — a wellness skincare brand devoted to helping women feel confident in their health and skin through an inside-out approach. Her journey didn’t begin in business. It began with determination. By 14, she was working two jobs while putting herself through school, already choosing a different path. At 18, a three-day personal development experience dissolved self-doubt and planted the seed that would shape everything that followed. One year later, she booked a one-way ticket to Amsterdam. What followed was a global career in executive search, a significant health scare, and ultimately, the creation of Mud Organics. This is a conversation about what really creates success — not just what we do, but what we believe. We explore:• The moment self-doubt shifts into self-belief• Taking bold leaps without certainty• Navigating unexpected twists and health challenges• Building a values-led business from lived experience Sometimes success doesn’t begin with a plan. It begins with a decision.The belief that you can — and the integrity to see it through.

In this vibrant and deeply engaging episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, Kaye Doran is joined by John Anthony, Director of Transcend — a leadership educator whose work bridges positive psychology, neuroscience, cognitive behavioural therapy, and the creative arts. John’s journey began in music, where identity and expression were inseparable from performance. Yet life eventually asked a deeper question: who are we when the role we’ve always known no longer defines us? What unfolds is a lively and thoughtful conversation about identity, energy and the powerful narratives we carry about ourselves. John describes how the mind often behaves like a thermostat, returning us to familiar emotional patterns and behaviours even when those patterns no longer serve us. Kaye reframes many of these patterns as false stories and beliefs — internal narratives formed early in life that quietly shape the way we interpret the world. Together they explore resilience, authenticity and the subtle energetic exchanges that occur between people when we are truly engaged. Threaded throughout the conversation are humour, curiosity and a shared appreciation for the creative nature of being human. Because beneath the labels we inherit and the stories we repeat, there is something deeper waiting to be expressed. Not the role we learned to play. But the song beneath the story. ✨ In this episode you’ll explore: How early experiences shape subconscious beliefs and identity• Why the mind returns to familiar emotional patterns• The power of questioning the stories we believe about ourselves• The role of energy and presence in authentic connection• Why curiosity and lifelong learning are powerful forces for growth Website:  www.transcend.com.au Subscribe to Inner Voice of Knowing Podcast by clicking the plus or follow button and let's get this journey started.

In this powerful and deeply grounded episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, Kaye Doran is joined by Alexandra Joy (AJ) — known as The Bush Philosopher — for a rare conversation on leadership that moves far beyond performance, power, and control. AJ shares her extraordinary journey from a 25-year corporate career inside boardrooms to a life shaped by land, Indigenous wisdom, and conscious leadership. After profound initiations in India, personal loss, and a stripping away of identity, AJ chose a radically different path — one rooted in presence, surrender, and connection rather than force. Together, Kaye and AJ explore what leadership looks like when it is lived as a conduit, not a costume. This episode weaves together:• Indigenous perspectives on leadership and learning• Surrender as a leadership strength, not a weakness• Why true leadership is built through presence, not authority• How nature reveals what no strategy ever could• The role of self-actualisation in sustainable cultures• Why conscious leaders create safety, not solutions AJ also speaks candidly about caring for her mother after a stroke, being shaped by unconditional love, and how being called to walk with Aboriginal elders transformed her relationship with land, listening, and leadership itself. Drawing on insights aligned with the work of David R. Hawkins, this conversation invites leaders, founders, and seekers alike to re-examine how power is truly held — and why the future of leadership depends on connection, humility, and inner coherence. This is not leadership theory.It is leadership lived.

In this unscripted and deeply grounded conversation, Kaye sits with Ian Russell to explore intuition, nervous system regulation, and inner power — and how these capacities are developed and applied in high-pressure environments. Ian shares his journey from growing up in Scotland and training as a forensic psychiatric nurse in London, to migrating to Australia and retraining in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Along the way, intuition was not a mystical concept, but a necessary skill for survival, clarity, and self-regulation in challenging and volatile environments. Together, Kaye and Ian explore: Why intuition and inner wisdom are natural human capacities, not rare gifts How high-stress environments shape or suppress intuitive intelligence The impact of modern psychiatric systems on nervous system overload and staff wellbeing Practical nervous system regulation through movement, breath, and patterning Rites of passage, initiation, and the role of storytelling in building resilient neurology Indigenous wisdom and cultural memory as foundations for inner strength Qigong, martial arts, meditation, and internal power as a continuous energetic spectrum Why intention alone is not enough — and how repetition builds the neural pathways required for real change This episode bridges Indigenous knowledge, Eastern philosophy, modern neuroscience, and lived experience, offering grounded insight for leaders, practitioners, and anyone navigating pressure while seeking clarity, steadiness, and connection to their inner voice of knowing.

This is the story of Meredith Koloski, enduring 15 years of misdiagnosis, navigating crippling endometriosis, being dismissed by doctors, becoming a single mother, and ultimately surviving a near-death experience that forced a soul-level stand for truth.

Your true voice carries the spark of purpose and the fire of your soul’s calling. In this episode, Jessica Bailey joins Kaye to share how listening to her inner voice transformed silence and struggle into story, power, and leadership — a journey that reveals how every step, even the hardest, prepares us for our destined path. Born in Nigeria, Jessica’s life took an unexpected turn at 21 when she left her family behind and moved to Australia, married to a man twice her age. What followed was a journey through displacement, racism, and the deep ache of not belonging. Yet within these challenges, Jessica discovered an unwavering inner strength — one that led her beyond survival into purpose. A nurse by profession but unfulfilled in her heart, she one day heard her inner voice speak clearly. That moment of surrender sparked a path that made sense only in hindsight, eventually inspiring her award-winning short film I’m Not a Nurse and igniting her work as a Certified Life Coach, keynote speaker, author, and director. In this soulful conversation, Jessica and Kaye explore what it means to: Transform silence and displacement into story, purpose, and presence. Surrender to the knowing that everything unfolds for our higher path and outcomes. Reclaim your true voice as a bridge between story, purpose, and leadership. More than a story, this episode carries the energy and intention held within each word — an energy that has the power to awaken and transform those who listen. 🎧 Listen now and be inspired to ignite your own purpose and answer your Soul’s true calling.

In this episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, I sit down with a dynamic, heart-centred creative duo — the founders of Girl Director Academy and Impact Film Group.

Somatic Sexologist and sex and spirit alchemist Lorna Gale joins Kaye to explore the deeper truth of sexuality as a sacred portal to Soul. Through the lens of sex and spirit alchemy, Lorna shares her midlife journey—from health crisis to spiritual exploration to sexual awakening—and how she moved beyond inherited guilt and body shame into a life led by feminine wisdom and embodied grace. Together, they explore the erotic as life force energy, the body as masculine form and creative flow as feminine, and how right relationship with our essence allows us to reclaim both pleasure and presence. With grounded insight, they touch on the healing integration of BDSM, intentional touch, and a thoughtful exploration of pornography and permission. This is a conversation for men and women alike—for those ready to move beyond taboo, unweave shame, and return home to the truth that sexuality, when honoured, is both creative and sacred. It’s an invitation to relearn how to feel, to awaken the body’s wisdom, and to honour our deepest desires as expressions of Soul.

In this soul-stirring episode, Kaye sits down with legendary music producer Martin Glover—known globally as Youth. From working with icons like Kate Bush, U2, and Paul McCartney to recording with the Gyuto Monks of Tibet, Youth’s legacy in sound is undeniable. But behind the fame lies a profound spiritual odyssey. Youth shares his journey from a life-shattering LSD experience at 21—followed by hospitalization, medication, and biblical hallucinations—to a 7-year integration that sparked his spiritual awakening. His path led through Shamanism, Druidry, and ancient mystery schools in a deep search for meaning. Together, Kaye and Youth explore the sacred intersection of sound, spirit, and self—alchemy, opposites, the Druid’s cup and sword—and the universal truth: all paths lead to the same place.
