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.

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.

Trusting the Universe When You Can’t See the Path With Hillary McVeigh

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.

Together, we explore self-forgiveness as a powerful pathway to healing the body, mind, and spirit.

How to create inner safety and move out of survival mode

The link between emotional healing and feminine energy

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.

Healing OCD, Hashimoto’s & Hustle: Kristy Morris on Wellness, Motherhood & Mission

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!

From Manifesting Wine in Tuscany to Ayahuasca in the Amazon - My Wild Spiritual Detour

One of the most common questions that have been hitting my dm’s since I started the podcast have been ‘how did you get through your break up?’.
 And honestly, I get it. Because at the very beginning of my separation I had no idea where to start healing either. 
 So this episode is for my people who are feeling in the trenches & have anxiety around change. YES breakups are hard, but NO they don’t need to break you! There’s always beauty with a new beginning and hopefully this chat will leave you feeling a little less alone & more optimistic about this new chapter.
