Stop Waiting for the World to Make You Happy
Are you putting your happiness on hold while you wait for the world to change?
We live in a world filled with uncertainty, political division, conflict and suffering. It's easy to become so consumed by what's happening around us that we forget we're allowed to experience joy in our own lives.
But here's the thing: your happiness cannot depend on someone else's behaviour, success, failure or downfall.
In this week's episode of Beyond This…, Matilda explores why we give so much of our emotional energy to things outside our control, how our expectations of others can keep us stuck, and why building resilience doesn't mean pretending everything is okay.
Because sometimes life is bloody difficult. Good people get hurt, people disappoint us, and the world doesn't always make sense. And no amount of positive thinking is going to change that.
But we do have choices.
If the suffering in the world is weighing heavily on you, perhaps it's time to turn some of that worry into action. Volunteer, get involved in your local community, help someone who's struggling, or find a small way to make a difference.
And most importantly, stop waiting for everything to be perfect before allowing yourself to enjoy your life.
Matilda also shares a simple challenge: find one thing that brings you joy every single day, even when life feels overwhelming.
The episode finishes with a guided meditation to help you release what you cannot control, reconnect with yourself and make space for joy.
You can care deeply about the world without carrying the weight of it every moment of your life.
Because your joy isn't a betrayal of someone else's suffering.

Is the veil really thinner in October? As a medium, my answer might surprise you: no. The veil is thin every single day. Spirit don't come closer at Halloween, we just finally look up.
In this episode, I explain why there's no such thing as a psychic child. Children aren't specially gifted. They're simply fresh from the spirit world. It's why they name grandparents they never met, chat to imaginary friends with uncanny detail, and wave at empty corners. I'll talk about where that ability goes as we grow up, how busy lives and "it's just your imagination" teach us to stop noticing, and how we can reclaim it.
For parents and grandparents, I share gentle, practical guidance on how to respond when your little one says something you can't explain.
We finish with a guided meditation to quiet the noise of everyday life, reconnect with the open, curious child you once were, and mindfully invite your loved ones in spirit to come close.
Have a story about a child who saw something they couldn't explain? I'd love to hear it. [Add where to send stories.]
Note: Please don't listen to the meditation while driving.

Sometimes we build the life we think everyone wants for us. We chase the job title that brings esteem, live in the suburb that says we've made it, and spend years keeping up with the Joneses. Then one day we realise we're working fifty or sixty hours a week to fund a lifestyle created for an older version of ourselves.
In this deep, heartfelt episode, Matilda draws on her background in behavioural economics and her work as an evidential medium to explore why we fall into this pattern, and how to find our way out. She unpacks the hedonic treadmill, lifestyle creep and the sunk cost trap. She shares what loved ones in spirit so often remind us about what truly matters. And she offers practical reflection questions to help you define your own version of "enough."
The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Home That Fits, where you'll set down the expectations you've been carrying and meet the version of you who is already living a peaceful life.
This one is for anyone who has quietly wondered, "Is this really the life I want?"
Please don't listen to the meditation while driving or operating machinery.

Spiritual awakening isn't about becoming more spiritual — it's about finding out who you are underneath everyone you had to be to survive. In this solo episode, Matilda unpacks why "awakening" so often feels like grief rather than light: the sunk-cost grip of identities we've spent years building, the pain of deconstructing roles that once kept us safe, and why none of this requires religion, belief, or a spiritual label to be real. Whether you're mid-unravelling right now or just starting to notice the cracks, this episode ends with a guided meditation — You Are Safe While You're Becoming — to remind your body you're not falling apart. You're just becoming.

As always Matilda offers new predictions for the coming months towards the end of the episode

 Due to being out of town due to a funeral Matilda is uploading an old episode with new predictions and a meditation.
This week on Beyond This…, we’re revisiting one of my favourite conversations from 2025 — my original interview with internationally renowned psychic medium John Edward.
With John returning to Australia for his October–December 2026 tour, it felt like the perfect time to bring this conversation back.
John and I talk openly about mediumship, the spirit world, what happens when we connect, and the realities of doing this work professionally. As two working mediums, it’s an honest, fascinating and at times very funny conversation about a world we both know incredibly well.
But this week's episode isn't simply a replay.
I've recorded a brand-new introduction with some new predictions — sharing a little of what I've been seeing and feeling around current events and what may be coming next.
I've also included a guided meditation focused on self-limiting beliefs.
So many of the limitations we place on ourselves don't come from what we're actually capable of. They come from the stories we've collected about who we are, what we're allowed to have, what we're good at and what is — or isn't — possible for us.
This meditation gives you an opportunity to become quiet, identify some of those beliefs and begin loosening your attachment to the ones that may be keeping you stuck.
So whether you heard my original conversation with John Edward in 2025 or you're discovering it for the first time, there is something new for you in this week's episode.
In this episode:
• New predictions from Matilda
• A guided meditation for identifying and releasing self-limiting beliefs
• My original 2025 conversation with John Edward
• Mediumship, the spirit world and life as a professional medium
• Why developing trust and discernment matters
• And plenty of conversation between two mediums who have a LOT to say
John Edward returns to Australia from October through December 2026.
And I'll be back next week with a brand-new episode of Beyond This…
As always, thank you for listening — and a huge thank you to my Patreon community, who proudly sponsor Beyond This… and make the podcast possible.
