In this episode, I’m sharing some of the most powerful permission slips I’ve learned as an embodiment coach.So many people stay stuck in situations that drain them because they feel guilty leaving, speaking up, or changing.But growth often requires us to make decisions that other people might not understand.We talk about:• Why your social media should be a space that supports your wellbeing• The truth about “cringe” and why you should still post the content• How to recognise when friendships are no longer aligned• Boundaries in dating and noticing what someone brings out in you• The difference between relationships that activate your inner child vs your caretaker• Why you are allowed to leave jobs, relationships, or environments that no longer feel right• The power of reinventing yourself at any momentThis episode is your reminder that you don’t need approval to live a life that feels authentic.Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is give yourself permission.https://www.theupgradebydavina.com/

In this deeply embodied and expansive episode of The Upgrade Edit, I’m in conversation with my beautiful friend Hilary as she guides me through my own personal journey of healing, embodiment and energetic sovereignty - moving beyond mindset work and into the body, the womb and the nervous system.Together, Hilary and I explore what real self-healing actually looks like when we stop living life as a “floating head” and start listening to the intelligence of the body.I share openly about my journey from anxiety, suppression and disconnection into deeper embodiment and self-trust. We talk about how emotions live in the body, why suppressing feelings keeps us stuck, and how learning to sit with sensation — rather than avoiding it — becomes one of the most liberating practices a woman can access.We dive into somatic processing, generational healing, throat and womb energy, and why healing isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you were before conditioning taught you to disconnect.This conversation is raw, honest and deeply activating. It’s for women who are tired of intellectualising their healing and are ready to feel, move and embody their life force.In this episode, Hilary and I explore:Why so many of us live disconnected from our bodiesHow anxiety, grief and emotion want to move through the nervous systemWhat happens when you stop distracting yourself and choose to sit in sensationThe link between the throat, the womb and suppressed truthHow somatic processing prevents trauma from being stored in the bodySelf-forgiveness and compassion for past versions of yourselfWhy healing doesn’t need to make sense to be effectiveThe power of pleasure, receiving and nervous system safetyHow embodiment changes relationships, work and self-worthWhy investing in yourself ripples out to heal generationsThe difference between forcing growth and allowing expansionHow following intuition creates unshakeable inner stabilityThis episode is a reminder that your body is not the problem — it’s the portal.Healing doesn’t come from doing more.It comes from feeling more, trusting more and allowing energy to move.If you’ve ever felt afraid of your emotions, disconnected from your power, or unsure how to truly come home to yourself, this conversation is for yo

This weeks episode is a soft landing for your soul. I’m joined by Hillary McVeigh, a lawyer turned Human Design teacher and an all-around luminous powerhouse who leads with heart, intuition, and deep feminine wisdom. Her presence alone feels like a transmission… gentle yet potent, grounded yet magical. Hillary’s work reminds us that life gets to feel aligned, divinely guided, and supported, and that miracles aren’t random. They unfold naturally when we are living in truth and surrendering to the universe’s rhythm. In this conversation, we explore: ✨ How miracles are simply byproducts of alignment
 ✨ The unseen magic happening behind the scenes on our behalf
 ✨ Moving from control into surrender - the feminine way
 ✨ Building trust in the universe even when you can’t see the path
 ✨ How to soften into flow when the mind wants proof
 ✨ Real stories of surrender turning into something even more beautiful
 ✨ The difference between forcing life and allowing life to reveal itself This is a deeply nourishing reminder that you don’t have to hold it all, push so hard, or control every outcome. You are guided. You are held. And life wants to meet you with more than you can imagine. Let this be your permission to relax your shoulders, breathe deeper, and trust that your alignment is the doorway, and the miracles will meet you there.
