    75: Impromptu Episode - When Things Don't Go To Plan
    Sep 22 2020
    Sometimes things just don't go to plan!

    This morning, as I was about to upload a podcast that I had just recorded, I realised that I had actually recorded a VERY similar podcast (with the exact same title!) about a year ago - An episode on focussing what could go right. This was so ironic as I spent a few minutes beating myself up about it and judging myself for not realising what I had done!

    So as soon as I realised what I had done, my initial response was to pack it all in and not upload an episode this week. But after that thought appeared, I questioned it and realised that I needed to focus on the positives and reframe what I perceived as negative.

    So yes, it was frustrating that I couldn't upload the episode I had previously recorded BUT it had given me an opportunity to share even MORE with you and what to do when things don't go right. It's all about our mindset and how we choose to experience life.

  • 74: What Impact Does Social Media Have On Your Day?

    74: What Impact Does Social Media Have On Your Day?
    Sep 15 2020
    Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media throughout the day? I know I do, and it’s something I’m still working on at the moment. Social media is a huge part of our lives and I don’t really know anyone that doesn’t use some form of social media (maybe one or two people!). It’s an even bigger part of our lives if we run online businesses (or any business for that matter), so of course, the majority of us spend hours mindlessly scrolling to see what we may have missed, what the latest trend is or even to just pass the time while we’re waiting for the kettle to boil.   If you do find yourself scrolling continuously throughout the day, then it’s important to think about who you’re following and more importantly why. Just like the people you choose to spend your physical time with, it’s essential that we make sure we are choosing who we follow for the right reasons. They should bring something positive to our lives and to your day. Looking at their latest post should fill you with love and positivity, not fear or feeling like you lack something.

    This podcast episode helps you to uncover WHY you're choosing to follow the accounts you do and asks you to question if they're serving you in the best way right now at this moment in your life.

  • 73: The 3 Dimensions Of Self-Care

    73: The 3 Dimensions Of Self-Care
    Sep 8 2020
    Self-care is the latest buzzword and trend of the moment. Although I’m loving that more and more of us are advocating, promoting and practicing self-care, there’s also a part of me that finds it strange to be ‘trending’. It should be something that we practice on a daily basis regardless of our circumstances – not because it’s the latest hype word or fad out there.

    I suppose one of the main reasons self-care has come to the fore-front of the health and wellness space, is that with diet culture at an all-time high, with fitness crazes through the roof and social media playing a bigger role in our lives and mental health than ever before, the NEED for looking after ourselves has also risen – I’d go so far as to say it’s essential if you truly want to be healthy in this day and age.

    It’s so important to understand exactly what self-care is so we know what we are aiming for, without getting too caught up in the hype of it all. We are so much more than just our physical body and yes, self-care does focus on caring for the physical bodies we are all gifted with, but what about the emotional and mental aspects of our bodies as well? It’s time to start treating your mind, body and soul with the same care and respect as though you value them all equally.

    This episode covers the 3 dimensions of self-care and how you can implement small practices into your life so that you can be the best and healthiest version of yourself possible!

  • 72: Being Conscious About Consuming Content

    72: Being Conscious About Consuming Content
    Sep 1 2020
    We are constantly allowing content into our lives from the social media accounts we follow to the books we read and even the conversations we have with friends and loved ones. Sometimes we can get so stuck in habits and life that we forget we actually have the conscious ability to make choices as to what content we allow in and consume. 

    If you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through social media or turning on the TV out of habit than necessity, then it might be time to reevaluate why you allow certain types of content into your life and how it might better serve you going forwards. 

    This episode covers many different types of content you might be consuming, how to assess if it's serving you in the right way and why it's important to be conscious about what you let into your life.

  • 71: 10 Lessons I Learned Last Year

    71: 10 Lessons I Learned Last Year
    Aug 25 2020
    So last week it was my birthday and I’m not going to lie, there’s something about turning 29 that felt a bit yucky. Whatever the trigger, the cause was still there and needed to be addressed. I’m a very introspective person and love journaling, expressing my thoughts and working through any ‘sticky’ areas in my life or mind, so of course the natural thing for me was to grab my A3 note pad, colourful pens and start brain dumping everything I had floating through my mind.    One of the journal prompts I used was: What lessons have a learnt from this year?   I wanted to take a moment to reflect back on my 28thyear and celebrate all the lessons I had learned – the lessons that were unique to the past 365 days, not only because I feel it’s important to celebrate our growth but because I wanted to acknowledge an opportunity to really make a change and LEARN from last year. So I thought I’d share my top 10 lessons with you in the hope that maybe one of them might resonate or help you in some way.    *I should also mention that Koa was born just before my birthday last year so a lot of these lessons that I’ve learnt have been a result of also being a new mother. Things just seemed to perfectly align themselves that way!

    70: Journaling Prompts
    Aug 18 2020
    Looking after your mental and emotional health is one of the most important things you can do to look after yourself. There shouldn't be a stigma around in and we shouldn't wait for something to go wrong before addressing it. It's about practicing self-care, being introspective and understanding where you're coming from so you know how to get to where you want to be.

    I love journaling and it's a great way of expressing yourself; almost like a form of talk therapy, but sometimes it's hard to know where to begin - especially when your thoughts are whirling round your mind at 100 miles an hour. So here are some of my favourite journaling prompts to help get you started.

  • 69: Tools To Help With Binge Eating & Craving Sugar

    69: Tools To Help With Binge Eating & Craving Sugar
    Aug 4 2020
    Although many of us may have experienced some form of binge at some stage, binge eating is actually a form of disordered eating and something that can be quite debilitating, overpowering and all-consuming. From my experience of working with clients and a lot of beautiful women, binge eating isn’t so much about the food as it is about how we feel about ourselves.  
    Binging and binge eating disorder is such a complicated topic and there are so many reasons that it might be affecting you, although everyone experiences it in their own unique way. In this podcast episode, I wanted to share some common tips to help you on your journey with binging and also how you can reduce those binge eating induced sugar cravings. 

    Remember:

    Our relationship with food is directly linked to the relationship we have with ourselves.

    So let's dive in deep!

  • 68: "What You Resist Persists" - Why I Love This Quote

    68: "What You Resist Persists" - Why I Love This Quote
    Jul 28 2020
    "What you resist persists, what you look at disappears." 

    This is one of my favourite quotes from the book 'Conversations With God' By Neal Donald Walsch. In fact, it's one of my favourite quotes of all time and one that really jumps to the forefront of my mind on a daily basis.
    We all have barriers. We all have stories we tell ourselves.
    We all go through tough moments in life.
    Sometimes these stories benefit us as we carry them through life and sometimes they hold us back from really stepping into our true power and becoming who we dream of being.
    When we go through tough times we can either: A) Choose to bury things and ‘resist’ or B) Choose to work through think and ‘look’ at them
    Option A leaves you feeling stagnant and stuck. Your beliefs in the stories you tell yourself keep you from moving forwards and truly experiencing life. Life is ever flowing and changing and we need to accept the things we can’t change and let our beliefs and stories adapt. 
    Option B, although more challenging and sometimes the scarier option, will inevitably allow you to grow and give you the opportunity to cultivate, manifest and create the life you dream of. Yes it’s harder, yes it’s uncomfortable but it’s worth it. It’s worth doing the hard work to see the reward. 
    It’s time to stop resisting if you want to see change in your life. Start ‘looking’ so you can take those actionable steps to get you to where you want to be.
