Hosted by Davina Rankin, an embodiment coach, energetic healer, author and mama, The Upgrade Edit is a curated collection of potent conversations with thought leaders, healers, and visionaries. It’s a space for those who are ready to elevate their lives and expand their perspective - through soulful, grounded dialogues that blend spiritual insight, lived wisdom, and actionable steps. Whether you’re on a journey of self-discovery, seeking to unlock your inner power, or simply curious about new ways to upgrade your mind and life, The Upgrade Edit offers real conversations to help you step into your next level.

Who? Me.

In this episode, I’m sharing some of the most powerful permission slips I’ve learned as an embodiment coach.

So many people stay stuck in situations that drain them because they feel guilty leaving, speaking up, or changing.

But growth often requires us to make decisions that other people might not understand.

We talk about:

• Why your social media should be a space that supports your wellbeing
• The truth about “cringe” and why you should still post the content
• How to recognise when friendships are no longer aligned
• Boundaries in dating and noticing what someone brings out in you
• The difference between relationships that activate your inner child vs your caretaker
• Why you are allowed to leave jobs, relationships, or environments that no longer feel right
• The power of reinventing yourself at any moment

This episode is your reminder that you don’t need approval to live a life that feels authentic.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is give yourself permission.

Juicy Permission Slips: Boundaries in Dating, Leaving Friendships & Curating Your Social Media

In this deeply embodied and expansive episode of The Upgrade Edit, I’m in conversation with my beautiful friend Hilary as she guides me through my own personal journey of healing, embodiment and energetic sovereignty - moving beyond mindset work and into the body, the womb and the nervous system.

Together, Hilary and I explore what real self-healing actually looks like when we stop living life as a “floating head” and start listening to the intelligence of the body.

I share openly about my journey from anxiety, suppression and disconnection into deeper embodiment and self-trust. We talk about how emotions live in the body, why suppressing feelings keeps us stuck, and how learning to sit with sensation — rather than avoiding it — becomes one of the most liberating practices a woman can access.

We dive into somatic processing, generational healing, throat and womb energy, and why healing isn’t about fixing yourself — it’s about remembering who you were before conditioning taught you to disconnect.

This conversation is raw, honest and deeply activating. It’s for women who are tired of intellectualising their healing and are ready to feel, move and embody their life force.

In this episode, Hilary and I explore:

 • Why so many of us live disconnected from our bodies
 • How anxiety, grief and emotion want to move through the nervous system
 • What happens when you stop distracting yourself and choose to sit in sensation
 • The link between the throat, the womb and suppressed truth
 • How somatic processing prevents trauma from being stored in the body
 • Self-forgiveness and compassion for past versions of yourself
 • Why healing doesn’t need to make sense to be effective
 • The power of pleasure, receiving and nervous system safety
 • How embodiment changes relationships, work and self-worth
 • Why investing in yourself ripples out to heal generations
 • The difference between forcing growth and allowing expansion
 • How following intuition creates unshakeable inner stability

This episode is a reminder that your body is not the problem — it’s the portal.

Healing doesn’t come from doing more.
It comes from feeling more, trusting more and allowing energy to move.

If you’ve ever felt afraid of your emotions, disconnected from your power, or unsure how to truly come home to yourself, this conversation is for yo

But the real work? That’s just getting started.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-life update on stepping back into dating after close to three years of celibacy, what this re-entry is teaching me about myself, my patterns, and the way my nervous system shows up in connection.

We talk about why nervous system regulation is non-negotiable in this season, how growth work actually gets tested in real relationships, and what it means to integrate the healing — not just intellectualise it.

I also share what’s coming up for 2026, including:

 • The retreats I’m hosting this year
 • Heading back to the Amazon for my first co-branded retreat with Arkana Spiritual Centre
 • My word for 2026 and what I’m consciously calling in
 • How you can bring more intention and awareness into your year too

This episode is for anyone re-entering the dating world, integrating deep personal work into real life, or intentionally upgrading how they move through relationships and the year ahead.

The 2026 Upgrade: Celibacy Szn Is Over (But the Work Is Just Beginning)

This weeks episode is a soft landing for your soul.

I’m joined by Hillary McVeigh, a lawyer turned Human Design teacher and an all-around luminous powerhouse who leads with heart, intuition, and deep feminine wisdom. Her presence alone feels like a transmission… gentle yet potent, grounded yet magical.

Hillary’s work reminds us that life gets to feel aligned, divinely guided, and supported, and that miracles aren’t random. They unfold naturally when we are living in truth and surrendering to the universe’s rhythm.

In this conversation, we explore:

✨ How miracles are simply byproducts of alignment

✨ The unseen magic happening behind the scenes on our behalf

✨ Moving from control into surrender - the feminine way

✨ Building trust in the universe even when you can’t see the path

✨ How to soften into flow when the mind wants proof

✨ Real stories of surrender turning into something even more beautiful

✨ The difference between forcing life and allowing life to reveal itself

This is a deeply nourishing reminder that you don’t have to hold it all, push so hard, or control every outcome. You are guided. You are held. And life wants to meet you with more than you can imagine.

Let this be your permission to relax your shoulders, breathe deeper, and trust that your alignment is the doorway, and the miracles will meet you there.

Sacred Self: Sensuality, Solo Motherhood and Soul-Led Business with Montana Lower

In this deeply honest and intimate episode of The Upgrade Edit, I sit down with relationship and men’s work coach Ryan Moresby-White to reflect on a sacred, unspoken experience we shared - one that cracked open the true potential of masculine and feminine polarity.

What happens when two people, both doing the inner work, meet each other in full presence with no expectation, no labels, just energy, safety and trust?

We explore the power of being truly met emotionally, energetically and spiritually, and the intimacy that arises when the masculine holds and the feminine softens.

Together, we speak to:

The electric charge of sacred polarity

The importance of safety in opening to connection

Embodied masculine presence and divine feminine receptivity

Healing through energetic intimacy without needing it to become anything

What it means to feel held, and to hold, beyond words

This episode is for anyone who’s been longing to feel safe in love, deep in their body and alive in connection. It’s a transmission. A remembering. A permission slip.
