Peel the Onion Podcast by Olivia Maxwell

The frequencies are shifting - and if you've been feeling it in your body, your moods, your energy, you are not imagining it.

This short minisode is an invitation to soften. To let it move through rather than brace against it. To look honestly at what is complexifying your energy and your alignment - and to let it go.

Less is more right now. Simplification is not a step back. For those on the awakened path, it is the work. 

Simpl...

We talk a lot about ascension. About expanding into something bigger than the human experience.

But what if the real work is descent?

Coming back into the body. Back into the feeling. Back into the full, messy, tender reality of being human.

In this minisode I speak to what it actually means to return to your full essence - not by transcending what's hard, but by letting yourself feel it. All of it. The moments you are triggered by ot...

This is a different kind of episode.

In this minisode I'm transmitting directly from my guides - a message for this exact moment in time, post-solstice, as the energy shifts into a season of rebalancing and amplified light.

This transmission covers:

• What the post-solstice energy is asking of you right now
• Remembering your essence - who you actually are beneath the noise
• Discerning truth from the increasing stimulation and distortion...

What if the way out of burnout wasn't more discipline - but more play?

In this episode I sit down with Bianca Spears, a thought leader shaking up the coaching and facilitation world by blending neuroscience, nervous system regulation and a whole lot of laughter into what she calls the NeuroPLAYstic Way.

We get right into the onion. Bianca shares the burnout that cracked her open in 2021 - the 2am wake-ups, the can't-switch-off loop, ...

A year ago I held a mothers blessing ceremony in my home. One week later, I gave birth.

And what followed was the most profound identity dissolution of my life - one I had no language for, no framework to hold, and no amount of psychology training had prepared me for.

In this episode I'm going all the way in on the threshold of motherhood. Not the curated version. The real one - the one that peels you back to who you actually are ben...

I was twenty-six years old, sitting in a park in Sydney with my journal, when I first heard my soul voice clearly. Not as a concept. As a felt experience - distinct from my thoughts, my conditioning, my fear.

In this episode I unpack what soul intelligence actually is and what it isn't, drawing on my own story of burning out in corporate mental health consultancy, leaving a secure salary, and hearing something land that sounded noth...

If you have done years of personal development and still keep hitting the same wall - this episode is for you.

Not because something is wrong with you. Because something was handed to you before you had words for it.

In this minisode, I walk through five signs that the loop you keep experiencing is lineage trauma - not personal failure. And beneath each sign, what actually becomes possible when it finally releases from the body.

You w...

We have been sold a story about new beginnings. That they arrive with clarity, momentum, and a kind of electric aliveness that tells you - yes, this is it.

But more often, new beginnings feel like loss first.

Because every genuine new beginning requires the ending of something else. A relationship. A career. A version of yourself you have been performing for so long you mistook it for who you actually are. And endings - even the ones...

In this minisode, Olivia gets honest about the loop she lived in for years - touching genuine bliss in meditation and returning to the same anxiety, the same inner critic, the same suffering every single time.

This episode names what nobody in the spiritual space wants to say out loud: that meditation without body safety can become its own form of escape. That going up and out can feel like healing while the nervous system stays stu...

In this solo minisode, I share channelled guidance from my team of light and the collective field of the Peel the Onion community and the wider community at large.

We explore the momentum of change currently unfolding, and what it truly means to stay steady in your energy as life moves quickly around you.

This is a reminder that your power isn’t in controlling what’s happening - it’s in anchoring into your own frequ...

You don’t need to have it all figured out to move forward. This minisode is about life transitions, self-trust, and the power of choosing differently now - without certainty. A reflection on being guided into alignment while embracing both your humanity and your divinity.

What happens when a woman is truly undisturbed in birth? Everything changes. 

I’m joined by my own home birthing midwife Janine O'Brien, who is a heart-led private midwife and founder of IBIRTH Intimate Birth & Beginnings. We explore birth beyond the system - as a sacred, undisturbed experience that can awaken deep trust in the female body. 

We explore many juicy areas that are key on the pregnancy journey and int...

This episode might trigger you and that’s the point.

We’re taught to build a life that looks right. Study hard. Get the title. Stay in the system. Be someone that makes sense to the world.

I did all of that.

And then it all fell apart.

What came wasn’t a gentle awakening - it was shock, grief, and a truth I couldn’t ignore. The kind of truth that disrupts everything you’ve worked for. The kind that asks yo...

This minisode has been close to my heart for the past year - being asked by life to release, to shed, to let parts of myself quietly die that are no longer aligned.

We’ve just closed the Year of the Snake, a powerful symbol of shedding skin. But truthfully, change isn’t seasonal - it’s part of being human. It’s part of being alive.

Struggle only appears when the mind tries to cling to what the soul has already...

For YEARS I was carrying so much 'stuff' that was not uniquely mine. Over the years of conscious development and 'inner work', I learnt a lot of it was energy I would pick up from certain places or people, and even emotions and thought patterns from my past that no longer served me in the present. 

Until I learnt how to clean my energy and be consistent with it..something I call energetic hygiene. In this minisode, I speak to h...

Have you noticed when you strong emotions come through that your mind and body may sometimes try and resist experiencing them to the fullest? I certainly have and do. 

In this minisode, I share my personal experience of this occurring, how following previous spiritual teachings of keeping 'neutral' has hindered my healing, and a step-by-step guide that I use to drop into my body to receive deep wisdom within. 

Feeling is th...

Have you ever tried to focus on the present moment, the 'here and now' and found it really hard to anchor into? I see you! 

In this minisode, I share how shifting my choice of words has helped me be more present simply by choosing to see 'what is'. The 'what is' has calmed my mind and activated my heart to take the lead in my daily life - less 'illusion stories' and being 'in my own way' and more authentic living and being.

Part 3 is here and its a potent one that ties the previous episodes together. Why? Because the moment I dropped fully into acceptance (in my body, not just my mind), the resistance to the chaos and uncertainty disappeared QUICKLY. I did not just wake up one day with it, but I practiced it by chipping away at being a bigger and better person - being as much love as I can be. This is where acceptance became my superpower as a mama.&n...

Have you ever felt stuck in heavy and draining self-talk? The thoughts that keep you spiralling and contribute to feeling ‘small’? Part 2 of my 3-part maternity and parenthood series speaks to being in this type of ‘mud’. Lets face it, we cannot escape this part of life anyway, however, when parenting, there is literally no hiding even if you try. This is why I speak to choosing the higher path instead. ...
