It’s Stress Awareness Day this Friday the 16th of April, so we are talking to Kate James, an author, coach, and mindfulness teacher who helps her clients create purposeful and meaningful lives. I just finished reading her new book, "Change Your Thinking to Change Your Life", and it’s been a real eye-opener for me. You can tell by listening to this episode that Kate has come from a background of trying to find her passion in life, and once she found it, she’s been able to help others too. If you’...

Hello! Today you’ll be hearing me chat to the energetic and lovely Sophie Ferguson from sunny Bondi, Sydney. She is a bit of a jack of all trades, and has been going through a lot of health issues, especially with the gut. When chatting to Soph, I saw so much of myself in her - a busy woman, working lots with gut issues she couldn’t get to the bottom of. She partied a lot when she was younger, and is starting to step away from that now as she is working full time as the social media producer for...

Ahh, I didn't even know where to start with this episode. Life at the moment is great in so many ways, but I am on a very temporary restricted diet from my recent diagnosis with SIBO, and it's bought up some old feelings I had when I was diagnosed with my food chemical sensitivity. It's really hard to socialise and eat out when you're off alcohol and a lot of food groups. As it's happening to me right now, I thought I would share how I am trying to navigate my social life around it all. Hope it ...

As I am nearly wrapped up for this season of the podcast, I thought I would reflect back on the year of 2020, and my biggest baby Yours Only. I know I have spoken about the process of developing the products, but I wanted to share more about who we are as a brand. I know this seems like a bit of a sell, but as Christmas is coming up, people are becoming a lot more considered with the products they’re buying, so it’s a great Story to tell, so you can share this episode with them after they’re ope...

In this week’s episode I chatted to Claire Aristides, who is a wellness tech innovator and trained Clinical Hypnotherapist, as well as the founder of the Mindology App. Her story really stood out to me, because as you’ll hear, she also has Hashimoto’s disease, but didn’t know it, until after she had 7 miscarriages. She was super healthy, until she experienced a lot of stress in her life. Claire used hypnotherapy to help her through it, and then decided to become a hypnotherapist herself. It’s a ...

If you’ve been following me on Instagram you would have seen I've had some ongoing issues with my lips. It started with just general dry cracked lips, then the corners of my mouth got really cracked and started to bleed. And now they’re just so inflamed and red, where the edges of my lips are really wonky. Not ideal. I couldn't even tell you when it first started but it’s definitely been since working from home. In saying this, I have always had dry lips and always need to have a balm on hand, b...

In this episode I talk all about how you can work out what the heck is going on with your body so you can get rid of symptoms like brain fog, stomach aches, vomiting, rashes or all of the above. I am NOT a doctor, and have zero qualifications to be providing you with medical advice, so I always recommend checking with your doctor for actual diagnosis or drastic life changes. What I am suggesting in this episode is what worked for me, and for some girlfriends, and everyone’s body is different. If...

This week’s podcast guest is a little different to our usual interview episodes. Instead of interviewing someone you might know, I interviewed someone who’s suffered from severe eczema for most of their life, and ended up finding a solution that worked for her, and she now has the smoothest hands she’s ever had. Jacquie was working as a physiotherapist, which was labour intensive itself on her hands, and also meant she had to be constantly washing her hands. She found herself lying in oat baths,...

Off the back of a pretty bad flare up, I wanted to share what it feels like to go through one. This episode goes through the aftermath of a very big and stressful week, and indulging in some things I probably shouldn't have. I cover the importance of managing stress, reducing anything that causes a flare up and flare ups from food, alcohol, stress and Hashimoto's disease.

In this episode I share all about the make up, skincare, and cleaning products I use to help me live a low chemical life. After years and years of trial and error and using plenty of products that effect my skin, I finally don't have flare ups and itchy spots. All of these are just suggestions of what works for me - everyone is different. I did give a suggestion on a website that I use to test out which products are free of salicylates, and this is it: http://www.fibromyalgie-guaifenesin.info/en...

Heads up! This ones a little raw. I have previously have spoken about my health journey, but what I haven’t gone into depth about is my 2020 health journey. I’ve been through a lot of ups and downs, and spent a lot of money on tests and they've mostly led me no where. This episode will take you through all the emotions, plus where I am at now (it’s positive, kinda).

Monica Gingold is one of Australia’s leading hair and make up artists, who has been suffering from chronic fatigue since she was a teenager. I’ve been working with Monica for around 7 years now across various projects and she’s never mentioned anything about it. I felt passionate that Monica needed to share her journey as it would help SO many who are in the same boat. She’s always kept it pretty private, until now.
