Be True to You: Navigating OCD and Business with Nick & Janaya Kennett
In this episode of I’m In Control, I’m joined by Adelaide-based powerhouse guests Nick and Janaya Kennett. We dive into how Janaya transitioned from marketing into finance to start her own brokerage, Pink Loans, built on transparency rather than being "money hungry". She also shares the mission behind The Janaya Store, which focuses on empowering women through luxury skincare and eco-friendly products. Nick opens up about his streetwear brand, This Is Your Apparel, and the "Be True to You" movement. He speaks candidly about his lived experience with OCD, specifically "thought-based" compulsions, and how he uses his platform to support mental health. Together, we discuss our shared experiences navigating the medical system - from Janaya’s Type 1 Diabetes diagnosis to my own survival story with sepsis and a brain tumour. We explore the power of choice, the importance of standing up for others, and why authenticity is the ultimate way to take back control.

When Prison Becomes the Turning Point (Phoenix Rose’s Journey)
In this episode of I’m In Control, I sit down with writer, poet and intuitive guide Phoenix Rose for a raw and deeply honest conversation about addiction, prison, healing and reclaiming self-worth. Phoenix shares her lived experience of drug addiction, domestic violence, and being sentenced to almost three years in prison. She opens up about the moment she realised she was ready for change, how prison became a place of deep reflection rather than punishment, and why rehabilitation and lived-experience support are so powerful. We talk about smashing stigma around the prison system, forming meaningful connections behind bars, and the life-changing impact of rehabilitation programs. Phoenix also shares her journey into embodiment, ritual and self-connection, including the creation of her yoni steaming practice as a way to heal deep trauma and reconnect with herself. This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, shame can be released, and control doesn’t always come from doing more - sometimes it comes from learning to let go.

Letting Go of Control: Anxiety, Food and Resilience with Sammy Barnett
In this episode of I’m In Control, I sit down with clinical nutritionist, author and speaker Sammy Barnett to explore anxiety, panic disorder, nutrition and the pressure many of us put on ourselves to stay in control. Sammy shares her lived experience of panic attacks from childhood, agoraphobia, and how those challenges led her into nutrition and mental health education. We unpack the strong connection between the gut and the brain, why stress affects how we absorb nutrients, and how an obsession with “eating right” can sometimes create more harm than good. We also talk about orthorexia, people-pleasing, parenting children with anxiety, and why anxiety is often a message from the body rather than something to fight or eliminate. Sammy opens up about writing her book, supporting her own kids through anxiety, and learning to step out of control and into flow. This episode is an honest and grounded conversation about food, fear and resilience, and a reminder that anxiety isn’t the enemy - it’s information. Episode timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to Sammy Barnett 03:00 – Living with panic disorder and agoraphobia 06:00 – The gut-brain connection and mental health 09:00 – Orthorexia and diet culture 12:00 – Stress, absorption and balance 15:00 – Parenting children with anxiety 18:30 – Writing a book and reframing anxiety 22:30 – People-pleasing and self-worth 26:00 – Movement, resilience and nervous system regulation 30:30 – Letting go of control and living in flow
