Are you a busy woman on the verge of burn out - exhausted by juggling the multiple demands on your energy from work, family and your community? Do you feel like you’re on the hamster wheel of life? If so join me for this episode where I share three steps to step off the hamster wheel so you can relax, re-energise and reconnect with yourself. I also share why, from a neuroscience perspective, it is so hard for so many of us to say no … even when we know we should.

This is an episode with a difference as I’m the one being interviewed by Miquette Dobros of Elevate Online Today. My beautiful colleague and friend, Alissa Nathaniel, also joined us as she and I share about our upcoming retreat in Bali in September 2023.

If you would really like a short-cut to getting off the hamster wheel – and you’d love more energy, time and clarity – then our retreat is for you. Called “Reconnect” – our retreat will give you the take-home tools to revolutionise your relationship with yourself, your loved ones and your life. The result: more energy, flow, fun and happiness every day.

Importantly our retreat is for women who want to reduce the significant stress in their life – without burning their whole life down.

Anxiety is a word we’re now much more familiar with as a community – with the pandemic, political tensions, the war in the Ukraine and growing eco-anxiety about the planet – many of us are understandably concerned. These are obvious anxiety triggers but what about some of the “sleeper” anxiety triggers around us - things we don’t even know could be causing us anxiety? What are they and more importantly what can we do to manage them … from a quantum physics and spiritual perspective?

In this episode I share the lessons and gifts I received when my anxiety was unexpectedly triggered by the accident I had in January. I also share five strategies any of us can use to deal with anxiety when it is triggered.

So what happens when your world stops? What do you do when suddenly everything you thought you would do today, tomorrow, next week or next month is absolutely not possible? What would you do and how would you handle that?

This has been on my mind with the many innocent people caught up in the Ukraine war and it came closer to home for me in when I had a pretty bad accident at home recently. My world definitely stopped and I was unable to do anything for myself. I couldn’t even get a glass of water on my own! Imagine that!

I strongly believe there are no such things as accidents and in today’s episode I share with you some of the things I took from this very unplanned life detour!

Are you feeling calm in the lead-up to Christmas or is it all feeling a bit much? Do you feel like you have everything sorted out and ready to go or are you rushing to the finish line? Would you like a recipe for Christmas calm to put into your own stocking?

As I’ve been chatting to family and friends over the last few days what’s become clear to me is that people are feeling stressed in the lead-up to Christmas, and this is being exacerbated by our old friend Covid-19 rearing its head again with the Omicron variant.

So given that background, how can we remain calm and peaceful in this time despite what's going on around us?

This week, I’m sharing a little recipe for Christmas calm. These are four simple steps I’m taking to reduce stress this Christmas season and I’d love to share them with you.

Self-love – how to feel more of it and how to be more consistent at it? Self-love is such a loaded topic for so many of us yet so important if we want to live a happy life.

In this episode I share nine steps that have helped me to revolutionise my relationship with myself. By following these steps I’ve managed to quiet the inner critic and really turn up the volume on a much kinder and loving voice in my head.

I’m literally sharing what I’ve done on my own journey – so each step is very practical and, most importantly, I know they work.

My hope is they will help you revolutionise your relationship with you. Because when we’re more loving toward ourselves we’re so much more able to do more of what matters most to us.

So if you’re thinking about where self-love sits in your life and if you feel like you’d like to work on your own self-love project please listen!!!

Who has the loudest voice in your head your Inner Critic or you're Inner Compassionate self? I know for me for a long time it was my inner critic …. but things changed for me a few years ago when I realised how I was cutting the ground out from underneath me with the negative stories “my nasty girl” was telling me and the words I was using about myself.

After ALOT of difficult and painful moments – mostly self-inflicted – I realised the vital importance of self-love and inner compassion. I also realised the voice we choose to listen to in our heads is a choice we make every second, and every minute of every day of our life. So the big question is what do we choose? The Inner Critic or the Inner Compassionate?
