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.

From Manifesting Wine in Tuscany to Ayahuasca in the Amazon - My Wild Spiritual Detour
In this episode, I share the unexpected story of how I manifested a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Peru—a journey I didn’t plan, but one that feels deeply aligned with where my soul is meant to go.
I originally thought I’d be spending my summer in Italy, enjoying the European sunshine. But the universe had other plans. Instead, I was invited to a 6-day Ayahuasca retreat deep in the Amazon jungle, guided by shamans at the Arkana Spiritual Centre. A complete shift from what I envisioned, yet everything in me knows this is exactly where I need to be.
In this episode, I explore:
How a planned European holiday unexpectedly turned into a spiritual retreat in Peru
The intuitive nudges and synchronicities that guided me to say yes
What it means to surrender when life reroutes your path
Why discomfort often signals expansion and transformation
How I’m preparing emotionally, mentally, and spiritually for this plant medicine journey
This is a conversation about trusting timing, listening to intuition, and allowing life to unfold in ways that may not make sense at first—but ultimately lead to deeper healing and clarity.
My journey begins at the end of July, and I’ll be sharing more reflections from the Amazon as they unfold. ENJOY THE RIDE!

What really holds a relationship together — is it sex, love, emotional safety... or something deeper?
In this raw and eye-opening episode, I’m joined by relationship expert and sensual strategist Courtenay Dubois to explore why so many modern relationships feel unfulfilling, even when the chemistry is strong. We unpack the often-misunderstood link between sensuality and emotional safety, and Courtenay shares the one essential ingredient most people are overlooking in their pursuit of lasting love.

In This Episode, We Cover:
Why sex isn't the glue we think it is — and what actually creates intimacy
The #1 thing your relationship might be missing
