Soulfood with Vonnie | The Podcast
Real life. Real conversations. New possibilities. 🌿
Welcome to Soulfood with Vonnie — a little space for honest conversations, reflection, creativity and exploring what comes next.
From my housebus by the beach or my van in New Zealand, I'm figuring out how to create a life that feels more like my own.
We'll explore life's changes, new ideas, building income and freedom, meaningful connections, and those everyday moments that make us laugh, think, question and grow.
Sometimes it's thoughtful, sometimes it's messy, and sometimes we might just have a good laugh along the way.
No perfect answers. No pretending to have it all figured out. Just curiosity, conversation and the freedom to explore what's possible.
So make yourself a cuppa, get comfortable and join me.
You're always welcome here. 💛

My Real Journey Out of the Funk
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, I’m following on from last week’s Blah to Better episode — because let’s be honest, the blahs don’t magically disappear after one chat.
Between school holiday chaos, long to-do lists, and late nights, I’ve been riding the wave of feeling stretched thin. In this episode, I open up about the little shifts that are helping me move from blah to better:
✨ Observing myself with kindness (not criticism)
✨ Swapping restriction for mindful choices (hello grapes instead of lollies)
✨ Why high-protein meals keep me fueled and balanced
✨ The surprising link between food, inflammation, pain, and energy
✨ Redefining “me time” as things that fill me up today, not just “future me”
✨ Simplifying gratitude into 3 quick daily notes
✨ How my 5–10 minute morning flow (thanks to Zen, my AI sidekick) literally helped me tie my shoelaces easier!
✨ The importance of good sleep and refilling your cup with friends
I also ask YOU — have you been through a blah phase? What helped you get out of it? I’d love to share your tips in an upcoming episode.
This episode is messy, real, and honest — but that’s exactly where the good stuff grows. 🌱
