   Episode 32: “Stop Fighting Your Body” — Selene Chaves on Weight Loss, Confidence and Learning to Work With Your Body

   In this inspiring episode, Moana Robinson chats with Selene Chaves, founder of the Confident 40's Method, about her deeply personal journey from struggling with her weight and health to learning how to work with her body instead of constantly fighting against it. Selene opens up about growing up surrounded by dieting, experiencing bulimia as a teenager, being humiliated over her weight while modelling, losing her mum, and later facing insulin resistance and hypothyroidism. When she was told that her symptoms were simply something she would have to accept, Selene refused to give up and became determined to better understand her own body. That journey eventually changed the way she viewed food, exercise, mindset and self-care. Selene shares why she began seeing food as nourishment rather than simply a tool for weight loss, how she moved away from punishing exercise, and why learning about stress, the nervous system and her own emotional wellbeing became such an important part of her approach. Today, she has built a community of more than 1,400 women and helps others feel healthier, stronger and more confident in their own bodies. Selene also shares practical ideas listeners can try, including delaying that first morning look at the phone, drinking water after waking and using simple breathing techniques to create a calmer start to the day. She talks openly about progress over perfection, learning to celebrate what your body can do and giving yourself permission to look and feel good at every age. Looking ahead, Selene dreams of taking her message to the stage and reaching millions of women. Her message is simple but powerful: when women stop fighting their bodies and start working with them, so much can change — not only their weight, but their energy, confidence and how at home they feel in their own skin.

   Episode 31: “Take That First Honest Step” — Samantha Nazareth on Her Medical Career, Leaving New York and Creating a New Life on the Other Side of the World

   In this inspiring episode, Moana Robinson chats with doctor, author and lifelong learner Samantha Nazareth about making the courageous decision to leave behind the life she had spent years building. In January 2023, Samantha stepped away from her home in New York, a decade-long relationship and the traditional clinical career that had shaped much of her adult identity. What began as a six-week sabbatical became a transformational journey of grief, uncertainty, freedom and self-discovery. Samantha shares the honest reality of starting again—not only the exciting possibilities, but also the uncomfortable and often messy space between an old life and a new one. After losing her mother in 2021, she returned to her family’s roots in Puerto Rico before travelling solo through Europe, Asia and the South Pacific. Along the way, Samantha became a French resident, learnt to swim as an adult and discovered a passion for scuba diving. She also reshaped her career, moving beyond her windowless Manhattan office into more flexible work across telehealth, consulting, wellness and emerging areas of medicine. Samantha is also the author of I Left Anyway (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H1TP7Q2G), a deeply personal book exploring heartbreak, grief, identity and the decision to move forward even without having every step planned. Her story began with leaving a decade-long relationship, traditional clinical medicine and her home—all at once. Today, she loves having the freedom to remain curious and become a student over and over again. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels called to make a change but is waiting until they have the entire plan. Samantha’s message is beautifully simple: begin with one small, honest step and trust that the next chapter will reveal itself along the way.

   Episode 30: “Helping People See Hope Again” — Shaina Zheng on Transforming Dry Eye Care, Finding Her Voice, and Stepping Beyond Her Comfort Zone

   In this inspiring episode, Moana Robinson chats with optometrist, businesswoman and author Shaina Zheng about her passion for transforming dry eye care and helping patients feel comfortable, understood and hopeful again. Shaina explains why dry eye is much more than a minor irritation and how the condition can affect a person’s daily life, emotional wellbeing, confidence and even their ability to drive or socialise. Through her work at Eyecare Plus Mermaid Beach with her husband, Jackson, Shaina is helping patients understand the underlying causes of dry eye rather than relying solely on temporary relief. She also shares the story behind her upcoming book, The Dry Eye Imperative, which aims to educate optometrists and healthcare professionals, improve communication with patients and elevate dry eye care across the industry. Despite her growing success as a speaker, educator and advocate, Shaina openly discusses the discomfort she still feels when putting herself forward. She explains how focusing on a meaningful purpose helps her move beyond fear, speak up and share knowledge that may improve someone else’s life. Shaina also reflects on balancing her career, studies, business and family life, the importance of a supportive community, and why women should surround themselves with people who encourage them to grow. This episode is a must-listen for women who have something meaningful to share but may be holding themselves back because stepping forward feels uncomfortable. Shaina’s story is a powerful reminder to focus on your purpose, embrace learning and allow your voice to be heard.
