Ep 33: Life Seasons
In this episode we discuss the seasons of life and how our self care is affected by what might may be happening around and or within us.
We are always in a season, the important thing to remember is to be aware of it so you can make the most of it and use it to your advantage.
It's important to not over think this and compare yourself to others, but tune in to your body and timeline in order for you to honour it as an opportunity for growth.
There are so many seasons of life that we get to experience, we encourage you to enquire what season you may be in so you don't beat yourself up if your self care takes a step back or feel guilty if you start prioritising more self care as a response.
Seasons are unique and so should be your response to them. Not paying attention to them could result in burn out or a feeling of imbalance and dis ease.
We hope you take away a personal insight into not just doing what you have to get done in life, but adapting to the bigger picture of your own personal needs and desires to make room for life and it's beautiful seasonal changes.
Ep 32: Senses
Our senses are super powerful and a great way to connect to your inner self through touch, smell, sound, taste and sight.
Today we talk all about how you can use all the senses to support your self-care and find ways to bring more awareness to what works best for you. There are so many ways to connect to our senses that help us to relax and let go, unwind and recharge and it costs nothing at all.
From walking in the forest, feeling the sand on the beach under your feet, lighting a candle to relax, looking at holiday photos to feel good emotions, we chat all about the benefits of tuning in and using all our senses.
Discover new connections for yourself and start to try new ways of self-care that can really help you to feel your best.
Ep 31: Delegating
Are you someone that feels like life is so busy that you aren't taking the time for yourself? There just doesn't seem emough hours in the day?
Today we chat about ways you can gain some time back for you by starting to delgate some of your work load and responsibilities or recognising where you are taking to much on for yourself.

Ep 30: Finding Stillness
How do you find the stillness within? Why is it important to be still?
Is this something you find difficult or natural?
In this episode we discuss all above and more.
In the stillness we find our mot authentic selves while nurturing the nervous system and supporting many needs of the body, mind and soul in different ways. We encourage you to not underestimate the power of being still and share how we manage to access this space while offering exercises to help you maintain this on a daily basis.
Ep 29: Overcoming Challenges
Everyday challenges can play a big part in holding us back from looking after ourselves in a way that really serves us.
Today we chat about the importance of recognising these challenges and being present to what impact they are having on our self-care practices. It is then we can prioritise what needs to be done and learn ways to recognise challenges when they pop up. It may be from the shiny distractions that pull us away from doing what we know we should be doing to help look after ourselves or life challenges that pop up and need our attention.
Bringing more awareness to our goals, what we want to achieve and putting some things into practice, these chaellenges when they show themselves, don't have the same power over us as we can learn to focus our attention where it is needed and build inner resources to cope with them.
Ep 28: Maintaining Focus
In this Episode we discuss why it's so important to stay focussed and the simple ways to make this an easier task than what it can be at times.
In todays world there is so much trying to grab our attention, it can be difficult not to be pulled in multiple directions that don't actually serve your goals or your point of focus for the day/week.
Here we share ow we personally manage our time and attention to be able to stay focussed, and the difference between positive distractions and destructive ones.
Ep 27: Boundaries Part 2
In this Episode we go even deeper within the topic of Boundaries.
What do they look like emotionally, mentally, physically and also the difference between setting personal boundaries and boundaries with other people.
This does not have to be complicated, you can make this a simple process and depending on your situation, it can be voice or not voiced at all. As long as you know and are aware of how to best apply it.
We want you to most importantly understand that the boundaries you set are the ultimate keys to creating quality of life.
They may not stay the same and change as you grow, however once you practice executing them and truly respecting yourself first, there's no limit to what you can achieve within success and your health and well being.
Ep 26: Boundaries Part 1
What are Boundaries? How do we set them, and why are they important?
Self Care is about balance and to achieve balance it's important to know (or at least have an understanding) how much of ourselves we give towards particular environments, people, careers, seasons, mentally, physically, and spiritually. Put simply, how you spend your time. How to manage your cup.
In this episode we discuss how a boundary works, what they look like and how they shape the foundations of our lives. If you're not entirely sure of your boundaries, take a look around, you may surprise yourself and have some already in place.
Gently take a step back and feel into where you might be over giving, pleasing, or pouring. Draw a line in areas that require less or more of you, and discover how life unfolds in your favour.
Ep 25: Morning Routines
Have you ever felt like there's not enough time in the day?
Perhaps you feel like your chasing your tail some weeks, or you simply just don't have the time you need to maintain your ideal self care practices.
This does not need to be your lifestyle any longer.
Today we have a chat about the power of a morning routine and how you can turn 5min into a miracle moment for yourself first before you pour your cup into anything else.
We want to encourage you to find the quiet moments, before your schedule begins or anyone needs anything from you. You'll be surprised the ripple affect that occurs for the rest of the day when you're not pouring from an empty cup.
Becoming mindful of how we start our day can really be the difference between success and failure, and being alive or just living for others.
Take you power back and kick start your day with YOU and what YOU need first.

Ep 24: Inspiration
Do you actively, consciously, and deliberately check in on how much inspiration fulfills your life?
When was the last time you truly felt inspired? Why is it important to create environments that birth inspiration? Inspiration can be the fuel for so many incredible achievements and goals.
Without inspiration how can we truly have long-lasting motivation and results for ourselves? The reason why having a "Why" behind your goals or aspirations is because the root of the bigger picture is within that why, what matters most.
We encourage you to allow yourself to feel inspired and go after what inspires you, to bring happiness into your life, and to feel alive!
