The Upgrade Edit

Sometimes your biggest breakthroughs are waiting for you in the pause.

In this episode, I share what happened after I intentionally gave myself three days to completely switch off. No pushing. No forcing. Just rest.

What followed was a wave of clarity, creativity, renewed energy and some of the biggest downloads I've had in months.

We explore why rest isn't something you have to earn, but a powerful part of the creative and healing process. I also share how I've been creating space for a new chapter by simplifying my life...

Many women assume a lack of desire is a hormone problem.

But what if it's actually a reflection of chronic stress, self-abandonment, nervous system dysregulation and a life that no longer feels nourishing to your soul?

As an energetic healer, embodiment coach and somatic practitioner, I've noticed a common thread amongst women who feel disconnected from their sexuality.

More often than not, they're not disconnected from sex.

They're disconnected from themselves.

Their joy.

Their creativity.

Their pleasure.

Their playfulness.

...

Why is it that some of the most intelligent, successful, self-aware women can find themselves completely distracted by a man?

Why do we suddenly start checking our phones more often, replaying conversations in our heads, neglecting our routines, and feeling emotionally impacted by someone we've only known for a matter of weeks?

In this episode of The Upgrade Edit, I'm diving into the fascinating neuroscience behind attraction, attachment, and self-abandonment.

After spending almost three years celibate, I experienced some of the biggest growth of my life. My...

We spend so much of our lives looking ahead.

Manifesting the relationship.

Manifesting the milestone.

Manifesting the next chapter.

Always reaching for what's next, believing that's where happiness, fulfillment, and abundance live.

But what if we're so focused on what's missing that we're overlooking the beauty of what's already ours?

In this episode, I share the unexpected lessons that came through during a beautiful weekend away with my daughter, Mila. A weekend that reminded me to slow down, be present, and fully receive...

In this Manifestation Special episode, Davina dives deep into the emotional and energetic side of manifestation and the “secret weapon” most people completely overlook when trying to call in more love, money, success, opportunities, confidence, and aligned relationships.

This episode explores how your nervous system, emotional state, thoughts, and energetic patterns shape the reality you continue to experience and why manifestation is about so much more than vision boards and positive thinking.

Inside this conversation, Davina shares:
• Why your emotions are actually a built in alignment GPS
• How your emotional state impacts...

In this episode, I share my journey from anxious attachment to becoming securely attached, and how that has completely changed the way I experience love.

After years of doing the inner work, spending time alone, and learning how to truly meet myself, I have stepped back into dating in a very different way.

What has surprised me the most is not just the connection I have created, but who I am within it.

This episode is a raw and embodied reflection on what it feels like to...

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...

I share openly about my journey from anxiety, suppression and disconnection into deeper embodiment and sel...
