Georgie Collinson: High-Functioning Anxiety, the Subconscious Mind & Coming Home to Yourself
The Organic Reflection PodcastShow Notes
Georgie Collinson's story is one of high achievement, hidden pain, and the quiet courage it takes to finally stop performing and start healing. Growing up the youngest of three in Melbourne, Georgie was the good girl, the one who followed the rules, got the grades, and learned early how to hold herself together. But underneath the surface, anxiety was building. And when a family holiday in Bali at nineteen shattered everything she thought was solid, the foundation she'd been standing on turned to quicksand.
What followed was a decade of searching.
In this conversation, Georgie opens up about the years spent chasing answers through nutrition, naturopathy, affirmations and self-help, and what she found when none of it was enough. She shares how hypnotherapy and subconscious work became the turning point that changed not just her anxiety, but the patterns she'd been unconsciously living out since childhood.
We also dive deep into the mechanics of high-functioning anxiety, what it actually looks like on a Tuesday morning, why success and anxiety so often travel together, and why the women who look like they have it most together are often the ones who need this conversation most. We explore the subconscious mind, childhood imprints and scarcity patterns, the gut-anxiety connection, why the opposite of fear is love not calm, and what it means to truly become your own parent.
This episode isn't just about anxiety. It's about what becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your trust and come back to yourself.
We explore childhood scarcity and the patterns it leaves behind, a family crisis that shattered a nineteen year old's world, perfectionism and the high-achieving woman's trap, the subconscious roots of anxiety and how hypnotherapy unlocks them, the gut-brain-anxiety connection, autoimmune conditions and self-attack, the contraceptive pill and women's self-trust, what anxiety is actually trying to tell you, and why love, not calm, is the real antidote to fear.
Today, Georgie works with women around the world as a hypnotherapist and subconscious mind coach, guiding them through a 12-month journey from chronic stress and self-doubt into what she calls becoming a calm woman. She trained under world-renowned therapist Marissa Peer and brings her own lived experience into every session she holds.
We were privileged to sit down with Georgie for a raw, honest, and deeply powerful conversation.

Dr Rita Trak’s story is one of grief, awakening, and a dentist who suddenly found herself working between two worlds. Rita had wanted to be a cosmetic dentist since she was 12. She was driven, studious and, by her own admission, running on autopilot, doing what she thought she knew best. She wasn’t spiritual. Neither was her Dad. Then he passed away unexpectedly. In this conversation, Rita opens up about the dream three weeks after his death, on what would have been his birthday, when he put a key in her heart. When she woke up, she could see and hear spirit for the first time in her life. She shares how that changed the way she practises dentistry, why she spent a year as a closet holistic dentist, and what happened when two dentists tried to buy her clinic so they could push her out. We also dive deep into the ideas behind her practice: why she walked away from fluoride after years of advocating for it, why she sees teeth as little time capsules that hold memory, how every tooth links to a pair of meridians and wisdom teeth link to four, and the patient whose X-ray looked like a bomb had exploded inside his tooth. This episode isn’t just about dentistry. It’s about what happens when the unseen world shows up in the middle of a clinical one, and you choose to listen. We explore losing her Dad and the dream that opened everything up, seeing and hearing spirit for the first time, going from strongly pro-fluoride to fluoride-free, hydroxyapatite and what to look for in a toothpaste, a dental chair surrounded by crystals, the interdimensional visitor and the symbols on her bathroom mirror, the patient she interrupted to say she could see his Dad, BPA in fillings and the problem with mercury removal, teeth as time capsules and the meridian connection, chipped teeth before weddings, school and loss, the bomb in the tooth and the Spotify moment that followed, why wisdom teeth might be the wisest of all, and what holistic really means when anyone can use the word. Today Dr Rita Trak is a holistic dentist, kinesiologist and medium, practising at Dental and Skin. She found her gift through grief, and now she’s changing what a visit to the dentist can feel like.

Daniel Tadinac's story is one of crisis, clarity, and the moment a near-death experience handed him the life he was always meant to live. Growing up in Melbourne with three younger sisters, Daniel was always the kid who'd rather be outside than on a PlayStation - drawn to nature, movement and a different way of seeing the world. He just hadn't found his language for it yet.
Tyler Murphy's story is one of survival, resilience, and the fierce, unlikely path back to the self. Born to a single nineteen year old mum in Melbourne, Tyler had a childhood that looked ordinary from the outside until it wasn't. From the age of nine, he was sexually abused by someone close to the family, and the abuse continued for seven years. He buried it so deep he didn't connect it to anything until he was twenty-three.
Nick Lawson's story is one of running, searching, and the long road back to the self. He spent his teenage years terrified and performing, surrounded by violence and chaos, while quietly falling apart inside. When his father left at sixteen, the already shaky ground beneath him turned to sand. What followed was fifteen years of movement. In this conversation, Nick opens up about the heartbreak at nineteen that brought him to the edge, running barefoot across Africa in search of something he couldn't name, and the First Nations aunty who stopped him cold and asked, simply, where do you come from? He didn't know. That question sent him somewhere no passport could take him. We dive into the morning tea ceremony he has kept at 3am for years, the qigong practice that taught him to listen to his body, a four-day vision quest where death felt close enough to touch, and the meditation that finally handed him the truth about what happened to him as a three year old. It remains the most painful and most liberating moment of his life. This episode isn't just about one man's healing. It's about what becomes possible when you finally stop running and sit still long enough to meet yourself. Today Nick Lawson is a qigong teacher, ceremony keeper, and father — and one of the most quietly extraordinary humans we have ever had in the room.
Kaitlyn Menere's story is one of loss, avoidance, and the slow, hard won discovery that the body keeps score of everything we refuse to feel. Growing up in Melbourne with a classic Aussie upbringing, Kaitlyn's world looked completely ordinary until the day she was nineteen and her mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. What followed was chemo, radiation and a double mastectomy. And then, at twenty, the day her mum went in for one final operation and simply didn't wake up. They were planning her twenty-first birthday party when it happened.
