Ramona Kossowan
a Women’s Wellness and Empowerment Coach
Hello Beautiful,
So many women tell me they’re doing everything “right”… and yet they still feel exhausted, disconnected, or like they’re constantly pushing through life.
In this week’s episode of Heart & Hustle, I had the pleasure of talking with Ramona Kossowan about something that often gets overlooked in our healing journeys—the wisdom of the body and the importance of creating safety within ourselves.
Ramona shares how stored stress, nervous system overwhelm, and unresolved emotional patterns can keep us feeling stuck, and why lasting transformation begins when we learn to work with our bodies instead of against them.
Together we explore:
• Why healing isn’t about pushing harder
• The connection between your nervous system and emotional well-being
• Releasing what your body has been carrying for years
• Midlife as an invitation to reconnect with yourself
• Finding strength, confidence, and peace from the inside out
It’s a gentle, thoughtful conversation that reminds us we don’t have to stay in survival mode. There is another way—one that feels grounded, compassionate, and deeply supportive.
I hope it encourages you to slow down, listen to your body, and trust that healing doesn’t have to be a struggle.

Lillian Moore
trauma expert, entrepreneur, mentor
What if healing didn’t have to take years?
What if the stories, fears, and old identities you’ve carried for decades could finally soften… with compassion, awareness, movement, and vision?
This week on Heart and Hustle, I sat down with the brilliant and deeply grounded Lillian Moore — trauma expert, teacher, entrepreneur, and founder of Mindlight — for a rich and expansive conversation about healing, nervous system work, creativity, vision, and becoming who we’re truly meant to be.
And wow… this conversation is full of wisdom.
We talked about: healing trauma with compassion instead of shame why the body already knows how to metabolize emotions self-sabotage, resistance, and creative power the importance of vision when rewriting your life moving beyond survival mode “the tiger and the berry” — one of my favorite metaphors from this episode weaving healing, self-love, and intention into everyday life and how connection, community, and supportive environments can completely transform us
One of my favorite reminders from Lillian was this: “Healing happens faster when you’re healing in a direction.”
YES.
Not just endlessly trying to fix yourself… but moving toward the life, the joy, the relationships, the creativity, and the future that are calling you forward.
This conversation felt deeply nourishing, inspiring, practical, and hopeful.
If you’ve been navigating change, healing old wounds, rebuilding your life, or dreaming into a new chapter — this episode is for you.

As you know, I don’t interview very many men on this podcast, not for any negative reasons, just that I”m in contact with many women around the world, and love to network and support women in business and magic and wellness and art!
I do love people’s stories… and Simon and I had a super fab conversation about how he works mostly with women too. And his history of all the jobs and side hustles to get to where he is today, and we also found many similarities in our background experiences!
Reflect, Reframe, Reinvent!
love that…
goes right along with my
Movement, Momentum, and Magic philosophy for coaching…
I think you will enjoy this conversation and do let us know of any questions or your thoughts!
A challenging and compassionate leadership mindset mentor, raised in a strong, matriarchal household with 3 powerful female role models guiding me. Mum, Auntie and big sister resonated well on my perspective and empathy, helping me to develop a caring, challenging and compassionate coaching style. It was this context that ultimately drew me to support female leaders.
I have served 100’s of women leaders to break through the barriers holding them back to reflect, reframe, and reinvent their mindset to drive positive and lasting change in their workplace. And in their lives.
With only 20 men selected, it was an honour that my female clients’ recommendations placed me on the Northern Women’s Power Inaugural Advocacy List in 2024 for driving change in gender equality.
I’m a Dad to two terrific teenagers, a loving partner, a loyal friend and an advocate that everything in your life is achievable once you know where to look within the limitless potential you possess.
Fitness and nutrition play a huge role in my life. I work out consistently, eat wisely, play competitive tennis, run weekly with Rundamentalists, my local Running Club.
Since turning 58 years old in May, I have achieved my PB for 10K and in June I competed in my first ever Fitness Race, The Deadly Dozen.
Enjoyed it so much now focused on competing in a Hyrox competition.

Hey there, what’s shakin on the beautiful day for you?
Get ready for the week and have a look and listen to my conversation today with Edit B Kiss!
We talk about writing books, she has written several also, and her writing practice. We talk about how she shifted from the corporate world, went through her own healing and now works with others to heal.
I always love talking about one’s self-care journeys, and Edit’s self-care practices include meditations, her Ancestor Release ritual to help release old stuck patterns and entities. Eating and supplements are really important for her of course, plus movement for raising vibration!
Hearing about her struggles to show clients her methods, and using group community work to share her work, there is always a bit of a hustle in getting one’s work out to the world and get clients too.
Enjoy this conversation and let us know your thoughts. So good…
