Welcome to The Aussie Mystic—a spiritual Substack with a beer in one hand and a crystal in the other. Here, I talk about consciousness, karma and the collective chaos of the Australian context to help you become a better human being.

My goal? Less suffering and more self-awareness. With zero culty vibes.

It’s psycho-spiritual education with a pulse. Whether you’re trying to make sense of your last ego death or just wondering why your third eye is twitching during smoko, you’re in the right place.

Sacred Middle Ground

“It’s about time science and spirituality started getting along.”

You don’t have to pick a side. Neuroscience and mysticism are both trying to decode the chaos. Mindfulness, for instance, went from being a fringe Buddhist practice to having 2,800 academic papers in 2020.¹

If that’s not a sign of a merger, I don’t know what is.

Here at The Aussie Mystic, I spotlight those places where hard data and higher consciousness hold hands—and do my best to stay agnostic while doing so.

Big Ideas, Plain Words

“No one wants to Google a word twelve times per paragraph.”

Spiritual awakening shouldn’t require a PhD. And academic psychology could use a translator. That’s where I come in.

I break down the complex stuff—like trauma, ego, intuition and energy—using short sentences, everyday metaphors and the occasional drunken anecdote for ease of comprehension.

Fix Your Shit, Help the World

“Clearing your own chaos helps the collective.”

I believe in self-work that doesn’t end at the mirror. When you make sense of your inner mess, you stop passing it on. You get clearer, kinder, more powerful and less reactive.

The ripple effects of that is huge. And so we do the work—not just for ourselves, but for everyone we bump into along the way.

Who Runs This Thing?

Hi, I’m Nicole (AKA Mandy)—an Australian mental health consultant, writer and recovering perfectionist, who once tried to bypass the entire self-development journey by being as impressive as possible.

It didn’t work.

Now, I help people walk the long road back to themselves—minus the spiritual fluff and with just enough swearing to keep it grounded.
