This week’s mindful moment is mindful rocking, a gentle and soothing practice to help you unwind. Whether you’re in a rocking chair or simply swaying in place, focus on the rhythm of the movement. Pay attention to the back-and-forth motion, the way your body feels, and the calming effect it creates.

Rocking mindfully is a beautiful way to relax, reset, and bring your attention back to the present—especially after a busy day.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.

In this episode, I chat with the vibrant and inspiring Jess Peil — and trust me, you’re going to fall in love with her story. From childhood runs in the Saudi Arabian desert, to chasing Puffing Billy in Melbourne, and now taking on seven marathons in seven states for Bravehearts, Jess brings passion, purpose, and a whole lot of heart to her running.

We cover: 🏃‍♀️ How a mile-long kids race in the desert sparked her early love of running 🚂 The amazing family story behind Melbourne’s Great Train Race (her dad helped start it!) 🎗 How fundraising became her powerful “why” — raising over $500K for Bravehearts 🧠 The importance of movement for both mental and physical health 🏔 Her adventures doing multi-day ultras like Southern Lakes Ultra in New Zealand 🫶 And how running communities like Running for Resilience are changing lives and saving lives in Canberra

Jess reminds us all that you don’t have to be fast to make a massive impact — you just need heart, consistency, and a great cause to run for. 💛

🎧 Tune in for laughs, heartwarming stories, and lots of inspiration to lace up your shoes — whether you’re chasing a PB or just chasing joy.

This week’s mindful moment invites you to enjoy a mindful bicycle ride, transforming your travel time into a peaceful practice. As you pedal, tune into the steady rhythm of your legs and the breeze brushing against your skin. Notice the sounds around you—the turning wheels, birds, or passing trees—and take in the changing scenery with fresh eyes.

Riding with awareness connects you to the present moment, turning even a short trip into a grounding and joyful experience.

Spend just five minutes with this practice, and see how it can bring calm and clarity to your day.
