Creating a life you crave is easier said than done sometimes, there can be many obstacles to painting your dream; your courage (or lack of) to take action, the ability to be consistant, letting go of the status quo, stepping into an expanded version of yourself. . . and many more!! But this is the ONE thing that stops so many of us - myself included. Does it stop you? Check yourself to see if you fall into this category - and how you might shift it. I'd love to hear about your painting! PM / DM ...

Hey! I used to think a "word of the year" was BS, like just another thing to write in my diary and it would often fall flat - I can't even remember past words....And then last year I had a break-through with word of the year and I'm all in! In this episode I share how I choose a word of the year, and a few other ways you could play with. I also share how I started to use my word of the year in a way that brought it to life and made it meaningful for me - and not just a BS trendy thing to do. It ...

What is your deepest fear? I'll tell you about mine on the podcast. Life goes so fast, and our fears control us sooooo deeply without us even noticing. There are so many things we don't do - because our brain spots potential danger, potential discomfort, potential upset - and says NO. I'll do that on Monday, after Christmas, in the New Year, when I'm ready, once I've ...... Your brain talks you out of taking action because it thinks it's spotted potential danger and is keeping you safe. We all h...

(NO riding involved) and from there we learn together about what the client is facing, how they're currently responding and navigating their situation, and the opportunities they have to move through their challenging life situations in different ways. The horses basica...

Do you review? My coach was asking me this the other day in relation to my business. And then my friend asked me the same thing! I thought I was great at reviewing but then when we got into the nitty gritty of it, and he talked me through his review and reflection process - I realised mine was rather flimsy. I write a journal, I keep notes, I ask myself questions and answer them in my journal - I used to do a lot of processing when I was running, out early in the morning.....but I got inspired. ...

"My family's coming for the holidays and I haven't lost the weight! I feel so irritated with myself. I know they won't say anything but they'll be judging me - I know what they'll be thinking" Does this sound familiar? If they holidays are coming and you want to feel really good about yourself, regardless of your weight you'll want to start here. This isn't an episode about "just love yourself the way you are" It's the actual how to's of liking yourself - the boots on the ground practicle things...

This is a bit of a tricky podcast. I'm talking about a client who has a "weight problem", who suddenly realises she could easily solve that "problem" for herself, that maintaining a weight problem has been a way of hiding from what might happen if she lost weight..... It's an interesting podcast as we look at what other "problems" might your weight loss be helping you avoid? We talk about how being in the question, can make you want to run or fight - and maintaining a weight that is more than wh...

During this episode I talk about something I learned when I was in labour with my second baby - the way physical pain taught me how to deal with emotional pain and discomfort. I believe that in the moments when we feel adrift, lost, or disturbed by the events of our lives, we're being called home to ourselves / our hearts / our true nature. Without this pain we wouldn't know our true capacity. The pain we feel in life (loss of a loved one, a difficult relationship, an unhappy child etc)often has...

I know self care can be such an easy thing to write off, when we look at our busy lives it can easily fall to the bottom of the list, I have certainly been guilty of the the old "I'll get started tomorrow" or "I don't have time". The thing is journaling, sitting in silence or taking a dance break can feel like such a waste of time when we're under pressure or feeling like there are so many other things we need to attend to in our lives (I've put self care at the bottom of the list many times in ...

**Please Note - salty language is used right off the bat in this episode - so you may want to consider headphones if you have your kids around ** When I ask my clients “how will you feel when you lose the weight?” so often the response is along the lines of “I’ll feel so much more confident”. And in my experience - while it’s a lovely feeling to slip on a pair of jeans and have them feel comfortable, being a size or a weight is not what actually gives us confidence…..There are PLENTY of women in...

Welcome to Crave 2023! The podcast about Craving, and creating what we crave….. Craving chocolate isn’t about chocolate. It’s about craving experience, expansion and lives that hummm.

So often women try to lose weight by controlling themselves. We say "I'm just going say no to chocolate" or "I'm only eating paleo" etc. Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with cutting out chocolate or eating a paleo diet. BUT when we use control as a way to get ourselves to do ANYTHING it typically backfires..... is this your experience? When we try to control ourselves there's typically an inner rebel that screams "Hell no", or "F-THAT"! Think about a time in the past when you've tried ...

Ladies! Are you feeling the pressure of Christmas? I said to my husband last night "it feels like we're haemorrhaging money at the moment!" Do you meet up with your friends and talk about; "how hectic and crazy is it at the moment?!" Is your calendar bulging with so many events, traditions, kids request and family meals that your head is spinning? Do you find yourself mindlessly eating? Do you find yourself eating when you feel stressed? Do you find yourself saying "who cares" and eating whateve...

Last week we discussed fundamental lies. The way things happen or don't happen for us early on in life, and then our brains tell a story about that event....In last weeks episode I used the example of a kid who's the only one in his class not invited to a birthday party, and what the kid might make that mean; "I'm not good enough / why don't they like me / what's wrong with me / there's something wrong with me" etc. Of course none of these ideas are true, these kinds of thoughts are what I call ...

Pain is something we're hardwired to avoid. We're not taught how to deal with it at school - Yes there's a lot of talk about resilience, and now great it is to fail, and "I just have succeeded YET." But quite honestly my perspective is, that a lot of the adults teaching this, believe it, and know its true, but equally have difficulty experiencing this in their own lives, accepting and dealing with painful "failures" in their own lives - so the teaching doesn't carry the full wisdom it could. Any...

As women, we "know" we're affected by our hormones, and depending on the time of the month we experience things differently. But even if we're tracking things with a cycle app - we can still miss the obvious - KNOWING we can be affected isn't the same as watching ourselves go through it and resting into the rhythm of our bodies wisdom and changes. This is why I reccomend women use a paper tracker (Yes I have a free and beautiful PDF you can download) to track your cycle. Download your free bespo...

Grab a new idea, some inspiration in the next 10 minutes. These are fun, short, sharp episodes that will give you some food for thought - yes pun intended. So if you're wondering about your eating habits - take a look at who you're hanging out with. What are they people in your life like? How do they view food? Is food a way you connect? Do you all have an unspoken agreement you can eat whatever you like when you're together and it "doesn't count" If you want to change your eating habits, you do...

So often we find ourselves looking for something, for the women I talk to, that something they're looking for is food. And as a consequence of looking for food, their body expands.

If you want to stop expanding your body and start expanding your life - take a listen to this.

This can be a very triggering question, so please take the time to listen to this podcast, and don’t let your brain jump to her own conclusions….. What weight represents might not be what you’re thinking, when you understand what your weight represents it can be a really beautiful way to see your weight, and reduce some of the negativity you may have associated with it. When you have a different perspective of what your weight represents, you have the potential to create a path forward that does...

If you’re like most people you’re looking for a way to solve your weight “problem”. This is mistake number 1; Believing that weight is a problem. But what if weight wasn’t a problem? What if it was just a symptom? In this episode I discuss a couple of different ways you can discover what weight might be representative of, for you. Weight is a kind friend, helping us find balance within ourselves. Weight helps us come back into alignment with who we are. It’s not here to symbolise that there’s so...
