"What if the key to a more compassionate, grounded, and peaceful life was as simple as picking up a pen? Today, we explore the transformative power of journaling with an expert who will show you how to write your way to well-being."

We’re bringing you the penultimate episode for 2024 today! Sarah and I sit down with the gorgeous Liv from Olive + Page Journals as we dive deep into this feel good and supportive practice.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed or disconnected, then listen to this episode to learn how you can make journaling your safe space, your guide, and your greatest act of self-love and journey home to yourself.

Liv alludes to how, in a fast-paced world, self-compassion often takes a backseat. But if we allow it to, the ritual of journaling can be a life-changing practice - a practice of self-discovery and care.

Tune in as we sit down with Liv who reveals how journaling can transform your relationship with yourself and those around you

There are so many evidence based, scientifically backed nuggets of wisdom throughout this conversation - as well ass a tonne of suggestions for small and achievable changes we can make to enable us to feel full of vitality, strength, and joy in this season of life
💪🏼 Nicole is passionate about changing the paradigm in womens well-being using a holistic approach based on our unique physiology by optimising Mindset, Movement and Nourishment.
🌱 And today we talk exactly that - we cover everything from the stages of menopause, to how the paradigm is shifting from that of a patriarchal worldview, we cover why changing up our movement is important in menopause, and discuss in detail the most useful types of movement to help us to thrive.

We also look at the important role nutrition plays in this life stage, and Nicole shares her top supplement recommendations.

Finally, we discuss the importance of weaving restorative activities such as yoga and meditation into our week to help us find balance and support optimal sleep and restoration.
