Heart-Led Changemakers

From Chaos to Calm: Leading from Nervous System Nourishment and Truth

Today’s guest Kylie Patchett is an absolute force of nature. A self-proclaimed disruptor, rebel, and revolutionary, she’s not just rewriting the rules of business, she’s burning the old ones to the ground.
After decades in marketing, leadership, and healing, she found herself at a crossroads, burned out, broken down, and deep in the messy middle of transformation. But instead of pushing through like before, she chose devotion. Self-devotion. Nervous system nourishment. Emotional reclamation. And from that place? She rebuilt everything.
She’s here to show us that sustainable success isn’t about spa days and surface-level self-care. It’s about tending to your animal body, clearing out old conditioning, and anchoring into the version of you who leads with truth, power, and ease.
This conversation is raw, electric, and wildly liberating. If you’ve ever felt like you're holding it all together while falling apart inside… this one's for you.

Networking with Human Design: Authentic Connections, Energy Mastery, and Lasting Impact

In this episode of the Heart-Led Changemakers podcast, Maryanne speaks with Alice Taugs, a woman who has redefined what it means to network and create community. Her approach is rooted in authenticity, high-vibration energy, and a deep commitment to connection—and it’s as refreshing as it is inspiring.
We began our conversation with Human Design, a system that has profoundly influenced both Alice’s and my journeys. Did you know it takes seven years to decondition once you start living in alignment with your design? This insight alone sparked such a rich discussion about how understanding ourselves can transform not only our personal lives but also how we show up in business and relationships.
Alice shared her unique perspective on networking as a sensitive, spiritual individual. She’s created spaces where there’s no “selling at you,” no hidden agendas—just genuine connection. I reflected on my own experiences at her events and how they’ve been game-changing, especially as someone who often finds traditional networking heavy and energy-draining.
We also explored the dynamics of vulnerability and trust in relationships, with Alice sharing a beautiful, real-life example of how she and her partner manifested their shared dreams. Their story of alignment, trust, and divine masculine energy was such a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we surrender and allow ourselves to be supported.
This episode is full of insights about energy, authenticity, and creating connections that truly matter. Whether you’re navigating your own networking challenges, diving into Human Design, or simply seeking inspiration to soften and open your heart, there’s something here for you.
Thank you for being part of this space. Let’s continue to lead with heart and make a difference, one connection at a time. 🌟

Heartfelt Reflections - Episode 1

In this reflective episode of the Heart-Led Changemakers Podcast, I pause to revisit the profound conversation I had with Bronwyn Coles. But more than that, I open up about how her wisdom stirred something deep within me—reminding me of lessons I’ve learned (and sometimes forgotten) on my own journey.
As I recapped her insights, I found myself sitting with:
The power of Saturn Returns, and how those tough, messy moments are actually sacred doorways to growth. It brought me back to a time when my own Saturn Return cracked me wide open and reshaped everything I thought I knew.
How nature, in all its quiet wisdom, became my sanctuary—just as it was for Bronwyn. It reminded me of the walks I’ve taken when words failed, and only the rustle of leaves could hold my emotions.
The profound importance of self-love, not just as a buzzword, but as a foundation for everything—especially leadership. I reflected on the times I’ve given so much to others, forgetting to fill my own cup first.
One of Bronwyn’s reflections hit me particularly hard: the idea that we don’t have to rush to share our lessons, but instead honour the space to sit with them and let them transform us. It’s something I’ve wrestled with, especially in a world that thrives on quick wins and constant output.
This episode isn’t just a recap; it’s a space where I share the ways this conversation inspired me, and hopefully, it inspires you too. If you’re navigating change, feeling stuck, or just craving a moment to pause and reflect, this one’s for you.

Lead with Purpose: Unlocking Potential and Thriving as a Visionary

In this episode, Maryanne sits down with the incredible Bronwyn Coles to dive into an open, unscripted conversation about spiritual initiations, Saturn returns, and the profound lessons we gain from connecting with nature and spirit. Bronwyn’s vulnerability and wisdom bring a refreshing perspective to the podcast, making this one of my most cherished conversations to date.We explore the pivotal transformation she experienced during her first Saturn return—a cosmic crossroads that often marks a spiritual awakening for many. Together, we unpack the themes of responsibility, growth, and laying solid foundations for the future, as well as the powerful reflections brought about during subsequent Saturn returns later in life.Bronwyn shares how she bridges her corporate work with her spiritual journey, offering inspiration for anyone looking to integrate these seemingly different worlds. We also discuss the sacredness of spiritual initiations—those profound, often life-changing moments that catalyze our growth. These experiences demand reverence, self-trust, and time for anchoring before sharing them with the world.Our conversation touches on the deep grief underlying much of humanity’s disconnection and how reconnecting with nature can guide us back to trust, healing, and truth. Bronwyn’s insights on how nature acts as a multidimensional teacher—and her reflections on giving back to the earth—are powerful reminders of the reciprocal relationship we share with the planet.We also explore self-love as a non-negotiable for changemakers. It’s a practice that shapes our capacity to lead, create impact, and navigate the challenges of embodying our purpose. Bronwyn and I reflect on how initiations deepen our connection to ourselves, spirit, and the collective energy of change, and how this allows us to hold space for others in profound ways.Finally, Bronwyn guides us through a technique to activate our highest vibrational encoding—a gift you can return to whenever you feel unsteady or in need of clarity.This episode is rich with golden threads of wisdom, reminding us to embrace our initiations, honour the shadow, and step into our fullest potential as heart-led changemakers.
