74. Raised right with Amanda Moohen

Send a textShe's fifth-generation. She knew she'd work with cattle before she could put words to it. And she was raised by women who never asked permission.In this episode, I sit down with Amanda Moohen - COO at Condabri Beef, ALFA executive, passionate feedlotter and the woman behind Women Of Lot Feeding. Amanda grew up watching strong, independent women move through the world with quiet authority... and that shaped everything. We talk about what it means to find your voice in your industry and how to use it without burning bridges or burning bras.We cover the misconceptions that still follow the feedlot industry, how Amanda learned to have hard conversations at work without losing herself and why self-reflection (yes, including therapy) has been one of her most powerful professional tools. We also get into anxiety, self-doubt and the kind of honest mental load that country women carry but rarely say out loud.And we talk about her grandmother. If you've ever felt like a bull at a gate - charging hard but not quite landing - this one's for you.https://www.linkedin.com/in/amanda-moohen/https://www.facebook.com/Womenoflotfeeding/Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/patricedouglas

73. Sit in the Nothing with Patrice

Send a textIn this solo episode, I talk about one of my favourite ways to “go into the nothing” - meditation. I recorded this one while lying in bed after a 24 minute sit (meditation). This episode is all about building a stronger relationship with yourself. I share why doing nothing can actually make you clearer, calmer + more confident in life, work and love. If you've thought about giving meditation a go, this one's for you. And if you think you couldn't sit still, this eppy is for you.Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/patricedouglas

67. The woman in the mirror with Patrice

Send a textThis one’s not for the faint-hearted…Because it’s asking you to stop looking out there for the answers. And instead, look right here.At the woman in the mirror. 🪞If there’s a pattern you keep living… a problem that won’t quit…Maybe it’s not them. Or that.Maybe it’s you.Not because you’re broken. But because there’s something within you - a thought, a story, a belief - that’s asking for attention. And (I know it sounds cheesey) - it’s asking to be loved.Not fixed.Loved.This episode is a call to personal responsibility.It might sting at first.But on the other side?Liberation. Empowerment.

Send a textNothing for a long time. Everything at once.When you're working toward something - a new career, a project, a goal - there’s a phase where it feels like nothing is happening. You’re putting in the effort, showing up, taking imperfect action, making mistakes, and trusting the process… but the results aren’t visible yet.Then, one day, everything shifts.The podcast gains traction, and people start listening and sharing.The job gets easier, and recognition comes in.The project takes off, and people are engaging with it.The clients arrive, and the impact (and income) follows.But before that, there’s the nothing phase. The quiet, often uncomfortable period where belief in yourself is the only thing keeping you going.How long can you endure that phase?This episode is about embracing the discomfort of playing the long game. The unseen work under the hood will pay off - if you can keep the faith long enough to see it through.This is a solo episode of Into The Nothing.
