In this powerful and deeply personal episode of The Upgrade Edit, Davina sits down with Kristy Morris, one of Australia’s leading wellness CEO's, mother, and founder of a global wellness brand KAILO Nutrition born from necessity, grit, and heart.
Kristy shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of her son’s journey through severe OCD—and how her search for healing solutions became the foundation of her now-renowned wellness company. With incredible honesty, she also opens up about living with Hashimoto’s disease, managing energy, weight, and self-worth, and how she navigates the daily juggle of motherhood and business leadership.
This episode dives into:
* The early days of her son’s OCD diagnosis—and what truly helped
* Alternative therapies and practical tools that supported their healing journey
* What it’s really like to run a global business while raising her children
* Her personal battle with Hashimoto’s and how it reshaped her relationship with wellness
* The truth about resilience, burnout, and rebuilding as a woman and a mother
* Why she believes wellness isn’t a luxury—it’s survival
If you’re a parent walking through a similar journey, or a woman trying to find purpose and peace amidst pressure, this conversation is your permission slip to slow down, speak up, and start again.

What if I told you that the people triggering you, challenging you and frustrating you are actually offering you some of the most valuable information about yourself? And what if learning how to use that information was one of the greatest little cheat codes to life? In today's episode of The Upgrade Edit, we're diving into a perspective that has completely transformed the way I move through the world. We're talking about the people around us being mirrors, recognising our unconscious patterns, learning to regulate our nervous systems, honouring our boundaries and taking our power back instead of giving it away to the circumstances around us. I'm sharing some of my own recent experiences with dating, relationships and the beautiful (and sometimes incredibly uncomfortable) lessons that unfold when we start looking at life as a series of levels to unlock. Because the truth is, we can't control the people around us, but we can learn to understand ourselves, choose how we respond and become a little more intentional with the energy we bring into our lives. And once you begin to see life through this lens, everything starts to shift. Consider this your loving little pep talk to stop taking everything so personally, start getting curious about what life is showing you and remember just how much power you hold in creating your own reality. Because a bad day doesn't mean a bad life. Sometimes it's simply beautiful data for tomorrow.
After taking some time to land, integrate and find my feet again, I’m finally ready to share what happened during my return to the Amazon.
What happens when you stop believing every thought you have… and start observing it instead?
